Chapter 161

As soon as Su Hua entered the new body, before she even opened her eyes, she sensed danger and instinctively dodged.

Then she quickly realized the danger was coming from all directions.

Her dark eyes snapped open, a cold glint flashing briefly before vanishing.

“F*ck!”

Su leaped onto a sword and immediately took off flying.

“Run, quick!”

The sword carried her through the sky, but soon, Su was stunned again.

“F*ck!!”

Ahead of her was a swarm of birds—or more accurately, sparrows—each as big as a person, swooping toward her.

“Turn around, now! Go!”

This had to be some kind of species mutation.

The sword was fast enough, and Su Hua soon ducked into an empty house, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

“Damn, this is the apocalypse? Those zombies earlier were so ugly, I can’t believe they even have the face to keep living in this world.”

De’er: “…” It had thought the host was scared.

“Feed me the plot.”

As Su Hua expected, this was an apocalyptic world.

Human pollution had become unbearable, and Earth could no longer sustain the damage.

While searching for a new habitable planet, a group of scientists—dedicated to eliminating half of humanity—developed a serum.

This serum caused a virus infection, turning people into zombies.

Once the serum leaked, the apocalypse began.

The female lead of this world was Lin Xiaoqi, a transmigrator.

As someone who knew the entire plot, Lin Xiaoqi had no qualms about stealing the original female lead’s jade pendant space and everything else that belonged to her before the apocalypse even started.

In the end, she and the male lead led humanity to glory.

Well, wouldn’t you know it—the original female lead was the body Su Hua had just taken over.

The original host’s name was Li Hua.

By the time Su Hua arrived, two months had already passed since the apocalypse began.

The jade pendant had been stolen by Lin Xiaoqi a week before the outbreak.

Lin Xiaoqi, probably afraid the original host would steal the male lead, Leng Xi, appeared before her after the apocalypse as a savior.

Unsurprisingly, she met the male lead along the way.

Lin Xiaoqi framed the original host at every turn, making her look terrible in the male lead’s eyes.

When Su Hua transmigrated over, the original host and her group had just encountered a zombie horde and scattered.

The original host and Lin Xiaoqi ended up running together.

Seeing no one around, Lin Xiaoqi shoved the powerless original host straight into the zombie horde.

If Su Hua hadn’t arrived, the original host would already be dead.

Ding! Hidden Task: Help Li Hua complete her counterattack and take back everything that belongs to her.

Su Hua smiled on the outside, but inside, she was like: “…”

Yep, after the system upgrade, aside from the main task of saving the villainous boss, there was now an additional hidden task—helping the original host.

Sure, Su Hua had always done this even before the hidden task existed.

But choosing to do something and being forced to do it? The feeling was completely different.

“Host, the hidden task is worth 200,000 points!”

That’s how many money-squandering sprees it’d take to earn that much!

Su Hua smiled.

For the sake of points, she’d endure.

This world’s villainous boss was Yan Yun—unfortunately, one of those genius scientists dedicated to eliminating half of humanity.

Ding! Main Task: Use your money to save the villain. Don’t let him turn evil.

Su Hua checked the blackening value in her mind—150/100.

“The hell?! He’s already pitch-black! And you’re telling me ‘don’t let him turn evil’?!”

“Host, of course the difficulty increases, but think about the points! Doesn’t that make you feel better?”

Thinking about points just made Su Hua angrier.

“This world’s female lead has a space too. Can you use it?”

“Yes, I can!” De’er immediately perked up.

Who knew they’d run into two female leads with spaces in a row?

This was some next-level luck.

Su Hua: “…” Really feels like that million points was a waste.

Glancing around, she saw she was in a clothing store.

The floor was a mess—green sludge and a rotting stench filled the air, clothes were strewn everywhere, and the entire shop screamed filthy, chaotic, and disgusting.

Su Hua checked herself: dirty jeans, a white T-shirt that was barely recognizable as white, arms covered in scratches, greasy hair, and her face—no need to look, she already knew it wasn’t pretty.

She grabbed some wearable clothes from the store and stuffed them into her space, then found a bathroom with a bucket still inside.

“Since I don’t have any powers, should I go out and let a zombie scratch me?”

The system: “!!!”

“Host, not everyone who gets scratched develops powers! Most just turn into zombies!”

“You think those idiots can compare to a goddess like me?”

“…” It really wondered who the host didn’t consider an idiot.

With no powers, Su Hua had no choice but to pull out several crates of mineral water from her space and pour them into the bucket, bottle by bottle.

“…” Where the hell did the host get all this mineral water?!

Also—it had upgraded this time but forgot to scan the host!

Once this task was done, it had to run a scan.

It would uncover the truth this time!

After washing up, Su Hua felt refreshed.

She took out scissors and chopped her long hair to shoulder-length, instantly feeling lighter.

Now the question was—should she tackle the hidden task or the main task first?

Before she could decide, someone knocked on the clothing store’s door.

This shop was unique—unlike others with glass displays, this one had none, so it remained intact, untouched by zombies.

“Open up! Let us in!”

The knocking was urgent, the voices frantic.

“I know someone’s in there! Don’t hide, open the door!”

Su Hua: “…”

She had been about to ignore it when she heard the female lead’s voice.

“Everyone, quiet! You’ll attract zombies. Leng Xi, let’s check if there are other places up ahead.”

“Where else is there? We’ve already checked everywhere!”

“Yeah, this store is big enough, two floors—it can fit all of us!”

A cacophony of voices erupted outside.
