“I can seal this object,” Gu Shengyin said, “but I can’t take it with me. As a Special Ability User with Space System abilities, if you put this coffin into your space, the zombies shouldn’t be able to detect it, right?”

Zhong Lingyu’s eyes widened. Could this really work?

Seeing her reaction, Gu Shengyin thought she was worried and added, “Rest assured, I can guarantee that I can seal this rift securely. You don’t have to worry about the contagion leaking out and affecting you.”

Zhong Lingyu smiled, “Li Shengxi, you’re underestimating me. If you could bravely use yourself as a test subject, do you think I, Zhong Lingyu, would be a coward? Bring it on!”

Seeing her agreement, Gu Shengyin did not say more. With a sealing magic, he placed a thick layer of seal on the coffin, then turned to look at Zhong Lingyu.

Zhong Lingyu nodded, and with a thought, the entire coffin vanished into thin air.

Even though their mission in the Antarctic was nearly accomplished, not a single person showed any sign of relief.

As long as this coffin existed, it would always be a ticking time bomb.

When they stepped on the return journey, Gu Shengyin was, as before, fast asleep in Lei Ting’s embrace.

Unlike on the way there, the two had pretty much confirmed their relationship by now, and Lei Ting did not hesitate to pull Gu Shengyin entirely into his arms.

When Gu Shengyin woke up, she found herself lying in bed, the familiar surroundings telling her this was her own room at the Imperial Capital Base.

It was very quiet around, and it was evident she was alone.

She didn’t get up immediately, but instead called out to the system.

“System, the mission you gave me is to save the world. So, does that mean we still have to resolve the problem with the sunlight?” asked Gu Shengyin.

In this world, ever since the apocalypse had begun, the sky had been covered by a thick layer of something like grey haze, with not a single ray of sunlight able to penetrate it.

And without sunlight, plants couldn’t grow normally. Now, all major bases were cultivating plants using extremely advanced artificial lighting technologies, but it was not a long-term solution.

An Earth without the sunshine, even if no longer threatened by zombies, could not continue to exist indefinitely.

The system was silent for a long time before responding, “Host, your answer is correct.”

Gu Shengyin asked suspiciously, “If you knew about this, why didn’t you tell me?”

The host’s body flickered with white light for a while before the system, reluctantly, replied, “This matter is not very urgent for now, so the system did not inform you in advance.”

Hearing this explanation, Gu Shengyin felt doubtful. Something was off; this answer clearly didn’t match the system’s usual style.

She always felt the system was hiding something from her.

But since the system wasn’t talking, Gu Shengyin couldn’t possibly know. She decided to let it go and continued discussing the grey haze in the sky.

“What exactly is that substance? Only if we know what it is can we find a solution, right?”

The system was unusually listless.

Gu Shengyin was puzzled. Usually, as long as it concerned mission objectives, the system would respond actively. It was rare to see the system so lackadaisical.

Could it be that even a system, an artificially intelligent being, could have moments of not wanting to work?

If so, she’d figure it out herself.

Gu Shengyin contemplated slowly; she looked out the window, the dull and oppressive grey sky resembling the Land of Inauspicious of the previous world.

Wait a minute. Land of Inauspicious!

Gu Shengyin’s eyes suddenly lit up.
