Beep beep beep...

Bam bam bam!

"What a piece of junk, stuck again. What era is this, and there are still ads!"

On a sparsely vegetated hillside, the girl angrily patted the radio she was holding. This radio was pieced together with various scattered components in the apocalypse, so it always jammed. Despite this, it had cost them eight Yajin!

Bam!

Beep~beep beep...

Bam bam!

The girl kept hitting the radio cover, but this time, the radio didn’t get better after a few whacks; the noise stopped altogether. She lifted it to see a part that fell off and almost hit her head. Great, now it’s completely broken!

"Annoyed to death!"

Standing up from the ground, the girl violently smashed the radio to the ground, spilling parts everywhere from inside. She looked at the helpless mixed-race boy beside her, who had some foreign features, and said, "Chen Xiao, I feel like we’ve been conned by that shady vendor..."

"Uh... well, can I say it’s a miracle this thing lasted in your hands for so long?" the boy said hesitantly, not daring to meet the girl’s eyes. As soon as he spoke, the girl shot him a sharp glare, frightening him to step back quickly.

"I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"Hmph." She snorted coldly, looking at the radio she smashed, feeling annoyed. She kicked the radio debris over ten meters away.

"Where are we going next? If we don’t go back soon, mom will deal with us."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I don’t know what you want to do."

"I told you, you don’t believe you’re a coward."

"Compared to you, who isn’t a coward? Not everyone has your courage." The boy muttered a bit angrily but quietly, like a mosquito buzzing in the ear.

Whether the girl heard his mutterings or simply didn’t care, she walked to a heavily modified and totally unrecognizable off-road vehicle, opened the door, and sat in the passenger seat.

"Get in quickly."

She beckoned to the boy who didn’t dare refuse, quickly sitting beside her.

"Little Yue, your fifteen birthday is coming up. If mama finds out, you won’t have a birthday present."

"Mama prepared your favorite cake, and there’s more..."

The boy’s words fell on deaf ears as the girl retrieved a lollipop from the groove near the gear stick, tore it open, and stuck it in her mouth. Meanwhile, the boy continued babbling, sounding like a nagging monk, until she glared at him and shoved the lollipop into his mouth.

"Shut up, will you!"

"Mmm mmm..."

The boy, now silenced, tried to pull the lollipop from his mouth, but a moment later, the girl stepped on the gas pedal, sending the modified off-road vehicle flying down the hill with a roar, wheels pushing up a cloud of dust. In the distance was an arid desert.

Tears streamed from the boy’s irritated eyes. Finally, he pulled the lollipop out of his mouth, glaring at the girl angrily.

"Hey! You almost killed me!"

"Oh, sorry~sorry~I’ll try to be gentle next time."

"But... this place is dangerous. You could lose your life!"

"Why panic? I’ll protect you!"

"...You don’t want the birthday present? It’s cake!"

"As long as you’re with me, that’s my best birthday present."

"What do you want to do?"

"I told you, make sure not to be shocked."

"Huh?" An unease settled within the boy, knowing this girl had always been extreme. At seven, she dared to run alone to the wasteland city searching for so-called "big guys," only to find herself pursued helplessly by zombies. If not for a mercenary corp nearby passing through, they’d have lost their lives!

Since then, things have gone increasingly crazy—like taking him to catch zombies, buying zombie bugs from the black market to toss in the swimming pool, luring hordes in wasteland cities... seeking thrill, perhaps. Anyone annoying her would find themselves thrown amidst zombies, terrified half to death before she rescued them.

Maybe inspired by that film, she often sat on zombie heads, using them as mounts, and even last year took him to provoke a Level 8 zombie. Thanks to that, their base acquired its first Evolution Crystal!

Every outing with her promised thrilling adventures; though unwilling, they always returned safely—her calmness inspired confidence. However, this time, unlike before, unease gripped him, even worse than challenging that Level 8 zombie!

"W-What?" the boy stammered, as the girl displayed a gleaming smile.

"I’m taking you to see the zombie swarm!"

"Ah! What did you say?"

"Zombie swarm, huh? An amazing sight, not far from us. Don’t you think your life misses something if you don’t see it?"

Hearing this, the boy froze and urgently fumbled with his seatbelt, yelling, "Zombie swarm? You can’t be serious! ’Life misses something’? I think you’re missing a screw!"

"Stop the car, I want out! Go if you want!"

Recalling earlier, he expected an ordinary zombie hunt, maybe a dangerous search for smart zombies. But a zombie swarm? He never intended to see that with her!
