But as soone familiar with the human form, doing such bizarre and horrifying things, she couldn’t even make a sound for a mont and instinctively took a step back.
It was the first ti she felt her legs go weak from fear.
It wasn’t about how strong the other person was, but a kind of ntal impact from a higher dinsion.
Is this the uncanny valley effect?
The girl in front of her was definitely a monster!
But she looked too much like a human, almost identical to one; her human body performing those actions would ntally impact anyone!
The girl opposite looked very normal now, even walking towards her very naturally.
Shi Wanyun instinctively took two steps back again, her legs hitting the edge of the bed, and she fell onto it as her legs buckled.
"Oh dear, I’m sorry for scaring you," the girl said apologetically, "I really didn’t an to. But you’ll get used to it. Every ti a newcor arrives, they react like you do. Getting scared here with is a bit of psychological preparation."
The girl’s words, and her friendly tone, left Shi Wanyun feeling a bit perplexed.
However, the girl’s friendly deanor did stabilize her slightly erratic state of mind, and she sneaked a glance at the girl’s neck, which now appeared normal.
But because she had witnessed the previous scene, the current girl seed like an embodint of a ghost in her mind.
"Uh, are you... human?" she cautiously asked.
Probably not, right?
Could it be so other species disguised as a human?
... To toy with humans?
"That’s really rude!" the girl replied sowhat displeased. "Just because I scared you, you think I’m not human? Of course, I’m human!"
Human?
The girl scrutinized her suspiciously: "You didn’t really co here knowing nothing, did you?"
"...I just said I don’t even know where this place is," Shi Wanyun explained.
"Really? I thought you were joking..." The girl scratched her head in frustration. "Ah, what do I do? Did I bring back soone with none of the three essentials?"
Her head wobbled left and right as she scratched it, her neck taking on a grotesquely broken angle, making Shi Wanyun’s eyelids twitch and her jaw clench.
"... What do you an by ’none of the three essentials’?" Shi Wanyun softly asked. "Do you need so proof to be here?"
"Oh, it ans soone without docunts, without a permit, and without special genes. Since you know nothing, you probably are such a person, right?" the girl sighed. "Honestly, how did you even get in here?"
... Considering the danger of the outside environnt, a normal person indeed couldn’t approach.
If she hadn’t sought help from Xu Xin, the strongest in Zone 188, she wouldn’t have made it here.
"I... forced my way through that area outside," Shi Wanyun decided to tell the truth. After all, that mysterious voice assigned her this task, so it should comply with the regulations here.
"Huh?" The girl was aghast, "You actually made it through that herd of beasts?! My goodness... You... you’re that strong? I can’t even handle a single one down there, and you can just directly..."
The girl’s gaze towards Shi Wanyun instantly beca respectful, with a hint of admiration: "You’re really strong..."
"...Not that strong, I got through by using so tricks," Shi Wanyun softly asked, "Aren’t you... a survivor?"
"Survivor?" The girl paused slightly, "That’s such an old-fashioned term. It’s been decades since I heard that word. It brings back mories... Wait a minute!"
The girl suddenly looked at her: "Could it be... you’re a new survivor? Another batch of survivors has arrived!"
Shi Wanyun’s eyes shifted.
The information contained in the previous conversation was already quite clear.
She now knew who this girl was.
... She was actually from the previous batches of survivors!
She inadvertently encountered a survivor from the previous batches!
She’s a pioneer in surviving in this world!
This energized her spirit.
It seems she could learn so secrets about this world!
However...
The girl in front of her had extended her neck from surprise. Her neck appeared once again to an incredible length, her head leaning over slightly wobbling in front of Shi Wanyun’s face.
Her expression was quite normal, looking very much like a curious child.
It’s truly... extrely incongruous.
So...
How did the previous batches of survivors beco... a creature with a lengthening neck?
