Chapter 6: Murder

... ...

"Gu Han, have you sent Sister Zhou Ziyu back?" Liu Nianli waited in place for a short while and then noticed that Gu Han had already returned to her side. Looking at her phone, it had been less than a minute.

... ...

"Brother Gu Han, why did you come to save me?" suddenly asked Liu Nianli, who was being carried on Gu Han's back

Killing Zhou Ziyu to save time on tasks is not an original idea of Gu Han. In the early years after the game's launch, those who pursued the fastest completion of tasks had already done this. However, there are not many who can execute it as cleanly and decisively as Gu Han.

The vast majority of newcomers come with the intention of killing Zhou Ziyu, but in the end, they are captivated by Zhou Ziyu's alluring figure, which leads them to spend one or two hours distracted by her belly... Ultimately, it is quite normal for them to even take Zhou Ziyu along to the museum to complete their tasks... In any case, there is no hope for an S rank, so I might as well enjoy myself.

"Can't you see us?" Zhou Ziyu was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, and two blushes appeared on her face. "How annoying, look at how impatient you are. The ground here is all stones, it's uncomfortable to lie down. Why don't we go to that little shop in front and make do for a while..."

In a certain sense, the personality of a person who is cold and unyielding has already stepped halfway into darkness, and who knows what the remaining half will become

It is a pity that no matter how much he reveals his desire for Gu Han to protect him, Gu Han remains indifferent. On the contrary, he keeps telling the little brat with him that he wants to be sent back... Hey, there are lions and tigers at the zoo, you know

"Old Master Guohan, we really shouldn't go back. I truly do not want to return. How about we both escape far away? I was the third place winner of the Women's Excellence Award last year, and I possess thirty-two unique skills that will surely bring you immense pleasure..."

"However, Brother Guhan, I truly cannot walk any longer, and along this journey, aside from a leopard, I have not seen the Yuanqian you mentioned..." Liu Nianli retorted

"Bad guy!" Zhou Ziyu spat at Gu Han, placing both hands on her skirt, and began to slowly pull down her short skirt, revealing a hint of purple lace underneath. "I was scared half to death just now, and now it's a bit dry inside. Let me touch myself for a while to get some moisture..." As Zhou Ziyu spoke halfway, her pupils suddenly dilated to the extreme, and then her charming head fell off from her neck. In her final moments, she couldn't understand why her feet were so still, so far from her eyes.

It will be in the future

I see... that's quite good... The passage of time brings a sense of slight melancholy, as I have grown up watching Zhou Ziyu's films. I really wish to chat with her a bit more, spend more time with her, and appreciate her more, to see if she looks the same in real life as she does in the movies... It seems that the understanding gained from the films is a bit more profound.

Certainly!" Gu Han nodded slightly.

"Brother Guhan, will you continue to protect Liuniang Calendar like you did today in the future?" Upon realizing that she had reached her destination and was about to leave the solid embrace of Brother Guhan, Liuniang Calendar inexplicably felt a tinge of sadness.

... ...

I am sorry... Brother Gu Han... I did not mean to bring these up... Suddenly, Liu Nianli felt that this older brother who was carrying her must be burdened with many things, many very heavy things, far heavier than her own weight

"Do not..." Thinking that he could avoid walking was quite tempting, but he still shook his head and refused, saying, "Brother Guhan, you have also walked a long way; how can Liunianli let Brother Guhan carry me?"

"No, we cannot... it is very dangerous outside right now, we must return to the safe museum as soon as possible," Gu Han firmly refused.

I will tell you the truth, there are three or four groups of people in the zoo, and one of them has a gun. It is best that we do not go back; instead, we should find a hotel to hide in. I will definitely take good care of you

"For this day?" The strange passage of time asked, "Brother Gu Han, did you already know that the world would fall into ruin?"

In these last days of the apocalypse, Zhou Ziyu has long understood that all notions of modesty, aloofness, and goddess status are mere nonsense; survival is the most important thing. The best approach is to find a strong man to rely on. Especially someone like Gu Han, who is not only handsome but also skilled. Since they are all destined to perish, why not be with Lin Feng instead? It is certainly better than being with Lin Zicong.

This is the reaction that young people with a proper worldview should have, to like women, to enjoy mating, rather than simply beheading the other person with a single sword strike, which is not the behavior of a normal person

First, I was taken hostage by a group of bodyguards to the security room of the zoo, relying on serving the physiological needs of five or six bodyguards daily to obtain a meager amount of animal fat... This detestable group of bodyguards, fearing that I might escape, provided only a tiny amount of food each day, making me feel completely drained by those who were left with nothing but desire.

Oh, I just turned a corner and ran into her agent, who took Zhou Ziyu back. It's fine, you can rest assured that Sister Zhou Ziyu will definitely return safely

Gu Han: "I am in a hurry, you come up quickly"

"Little brother, I am truly impressive; I actually managed to kill a leopard. Did that leopard not harm you at all just now?" Zhou Ziyu chattered incessantly.

Yes, I have practiced..." Gu Han's voice was somewhat leisurely, as if he had fallen into a memory, "I have been practicing for this day for ten years.

Unable to walk any further?" Gu Han quickly returned to Liu Nianli's side, seeing the other person pouting with a "I can't stand it" expression.

I can’t walk anymore... I can’t walk anymore... Brother Guhan, let’s take a break before we continue walking...

We are almost there; he should no longer be able to see us through the flow of time. Gu Han turned a corner, and at this moment, the two had already moved out of the line of sight of the flow of time.

Speaking of which, the man who saved himself truly has an impressive appearance. At no more than twenty years of age, he possesses sharp eyes, agile movements, a muscular physique, and a face that, while not conventionally handsome, can be described as refined. He certainly appears to be a man one can rely on.

... ...

In the end, the calendar of fleeting years still obediently lay on the back of the solid cold.

As long as you are willing, you can engage in mating freely, even in a replica.

System prompt: Side quest 1, completed

Chronological Calendar

It is almost here, the museum is just ahead. The system shows that twenty-nine minutes have just passed, and at this moment, the entrance of the Provincial Museum has appeared before Gu Han; this is the final task location of the novice instance.

"You will soon meet Yuan Gao..." Gu Han sighed, crouched down, and turned his back to the flowing calendar, "Come on, I will carry you."

However, in the zoo, there are not only our group of people, but also three or four other equally fierce and menacing groups fighting among themselves for the animals in the zoo. As a result, due to a moment of carelessness, a large group of large carnivorous animals such as tigers, lions, and leopards, which had been hungry for several days, were released.

Those who enter this instance are all young individuals who have just turned eighteen. Faced with the temptation of a seductive woman, no young man can truly resist. They can become killers, and moreover, in this game, no mating behavior is prohibited

In fact, many of the strategies in the forum are similar to "I fought thirty-two battles with Zhou Ziyu" and the like

I can no longer walk... Brother Gu Han... I can no longer walk..." After approximately ten minutes, Liu Nianli finally could not hold on any longer and sat down on the ground, unwilling to get up again. After all, Liu Nianli is a homebody who does not enjoy exercising, and the path is submerged in various ruins, requiring him to overcome numerous obstacles, which greatly exhausts his physical stamina.

The outcome was tragic; four of the bodyguards were immediately killed by bites. Zhou Ziyu herself was closely watched by a leopard. Had it not been for the two brave little men who intervened along the way, it is likely that Zhou Ziyu would not have survived for even a minute

Zhou Ziyu feels incredibly unfortunate; ever since this world inexplicably entered the apocalypse, she has not experienced a single day of safety.

"This is just a piece of data..." The killer, Gu Han, was stunned for a few seconds; it was his first time taking a life, and he couldn't help but feel a bit out of sorts. "You are just a piece of data... just data... I don't have time... I really don't have time..."

Alright, let us not dwell on the protagonist's personality issues and allow the scenario to continue progressing. Due to the two-minute delay caused by the money leopard task, the originally allotted half-hour time has no spare moments left. Gu Han is walking quickly ahead, trying to make up for the lost time, but the flow of time behind him cannot keep up with Gu Han's pace

"No, I am in a hurry..." Gu Han shook his head

"But, Brother Gu Han, isn't the zoo quite far from here? Why have you returned so quickly?" Liu Nianli asked in confusion.

Oh... Brother Gu Han, have you practiced swordsmanship before? I just saw you kill that leopard with a single sword strike, it was truly impressive

"Hmm, it's been sent back," Gu Han nodded and then continued to walk briskly towards the museum, urging Liu Nianli as he walked, "Classmate Liu Nianli, we need to hurry back to the museum, otherwise your mother will be worried sick."

Since the time my mother, father, and younger sister passed away, I have known..." Gu Han's tone shifted, "How could I possibly know about the end of the world? I practice swordsmanship solely to protect those I wish to protect in the future, no longer wanting to helplessly watch my loved ones die as I did before..."

Because your mother saved my life, I am here to take you to see your mother
