Luo Jiajun led Achina northwards.
Along the way, various grotesque plants with enormous sizes can be seen everywhere, especially the super-giant vines that climb and entwine on buildings and are as thick as train carriages, which are truly shocking.
But perhaps because they are still plants in essence, they prefer quiet. As long as they don't make too much noise or get too close, most deformed plants will not actively attack.
Lynn and Archina walked on the street for a while. Although they occasionally encountered the same kind of vine attacks as in the building, Archina's sharp claws, coupled with her superhuman strength, ensured that any vines that dared to attack would only meet one fate—being cleanly and decisively swept away by Archina's claws.
Luo Jiajun thus drew a conclusion: 'Although most mutated plants prefer quiet environments, some are exceptionally aggressive, such as the mutated vines he and Achina repeatedly encountered.'
Because this apocalyptic event themed around "plant mutation" struck suddenly in the early morning, many people were killed while still asleep, or even if they were awakened, they were unable to escape from their buildings. As a result, Luo Jiajun and Achina only saw a handful of living people along the way.
Some of these people did spot Luo Jiajun and Achina, but without exception, they all looked terrified because of Achina's unusually tall stature and overly pale skin. They avoided Luo Jiajun and Achina like the plague, let alone approached them and begged to be taken along like Chen Yue had done before.
Luo Jiajun was quite happy with this arrangement. After all, as long as he didn't harm anyone, no one could morally blackmail him into saving people. Besides, Luo Jiajun had no relatives left in this world. He was an only child, his father had passed away early, and his mother... had also died from the pandemic a few years ago.
Therefore, Luo Jiajun is very inclined to be self-sufficient. He has also read many apocalyptic online novels, most of which feature protagonists who build their own power bases or camps. Now that the apocalypse has truly arrived, Luo Jiajun just wants a "home" of his own.
This family, of course, consists only of himself and all the paper doll wives he summons!
In short, Luo Jiajun and Achina did not encounter too many setbacks along the way. The few living people they occasionally saw were mostly killed because they panicked and quickly alerted the mutated plants around them.
After walking carefully for almost half an hour, Luo Jiajun and Achina were finally close to the elementary school marked with a treasure chest on the game map.
Before entering the primary school, Luo Jiajun led Archina to the most open area outside the school and said to her, "There is something very important in the primary school ahead that I need to get, but it might be dangerous inside."
Although the map shows only treasure chests representing "high-value items" in this elementary school, there are no skull and crossbones symbols representing "high-value targets".
However, in many games, there are often a large number of enemies near the treasure.
It's a very simple principle—the absence of a boss doesn't mean there aren't elite monsters or a large number of mobs that can overwhelm an elephant!
It's important to understand that the current apocalypse is a direct result of the "hyper-dimensional apocalypse game" rooted in Luo Jiajun's mind synchronizing with reality. Therefore, Luo Jiajun has to carefully consider each step from the perspective of a player, as if he were playing a game.
Achina assumed Luo Jiajun was doubting her resolve, so her right hand suddenly extended into a two-foot-long, jet-black claw. Full of confidence, she said to Luo Jiajun, "Don't worry, little master, I'll stay with you and protect you. Those strange little plants can't hurt you." (Mei was thinking...)
Upon hearing this, Luo Jiajun nodded slightly, but did not respond immediately. Instead, he took off the backpack from his back.
Ignoring the dust and such, Luo Jiajun plopped down on the ground and rummaged through his backpack for some food and water he had scavenged from the supermarket.
"are you hungry?"
As Luo Jiajun asked, he handed Achina a bottle of energy drink and a bag of compressed biscuits: "Let's take a break and replenish our energy before we enter that primary school up ahead."
After all, before this apocalypse arrived, Luo Jiajun had played games all night long.
Previously, because it was his first time using the ability to manipulate electricity, he had overused it without realizing it.
In addition, we walked for quite a long time.
Luo Jiajun is really feeling out of sorts right now and needs a break.
Achina had no interest or appetite for the various foods and water in Luo Jiajun's backpack, but she still silently accepted the energy drink and compressed biscuits that Luo Jiajun handed her.
Because she actually felt a little tired too...
Was it because the repeated attacks by mutated vines along the way had expended a lot of energy?
However, she always dealt with those mutated vines with a single blow, and knowing her own body, she shouldn't feel tired now, even if she's only a little tired.
After all, her physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary people.
It was this slightly unusual, not intense, feeling of fatigue, along with a strange intuition that something felt off and that she had overlooked, that prompted her to accept the food and water that Luo Jiajun offered and drink it quickly.
Luo Jiajun also pulled out a bottle of energy drink and gulped it down. Then, noticing that Achina seemed to have a decent appetite, Luo Jiajun subconsciously said, "It looks like you're eating all of this food. Otherwise, I would have thought you were only interested in flesh and blood."
In the storyline of Resident Evil 8, this "eight-foot lady" is a woman who can't live without blood, and Luo Jiajun knew this, so he blurted out this sentence without thinking.
Unexpectedly, Archina looked surprised upon hearing this and asked Luo Jiajun strangely, "Why do you think I'm only interested in flesh and blood? I'm not a savage or animal who eats raw meat and drinks blood."
"Uh... okay, never mind." A hint of embarrassment flashed in Luo Jiajun's eyes, thinking that it was just a thoughtless remark he made that offended Achina.
However, while eating, Luo Jiajun continued to explore the post-apocalyptic game in his mind and discovered the reason why Archina did not admit to being interested in flesh and blood in the game's [team] interface.
In Luo Jiajun's mind, the [team] interface of this apocalyptic game was a row of horizontal cards. Currently, almost all the cards from left to right only had a question mark drawn on them, except for the first card on the left, which had an illustration of Achina.
When Luo Jiajun touched the card with his mind and opened the card details, Achina's detailed information was displayed.
[Achena Timmitrescu]
职业羁绊——畸变者（3/6/9）：一天一次，畸变者单位在变形时将恢复所有体力与伤势，并在变形状态下获得25%/75%/150%的全能力加成。
阵营羁绊——生化怪物（2/4/6/8）：生化怪物单位的近战攻击会在对具有恢复能力的敌人造成非钝击伤害时施加枯萎状态，使受伤单位受到的所有恢复效果降低50%，基础能力降低10%/20%/35%/60%。
Current favorability: 29
Current status: Slightly tired, ?
Character Background: When she was still a normal human, she suffered from a hereditary blood disease. Due to a master-servant contract she received in a dream, the hereditary blood disease that tormented her for countless days and nights disappeared. Because of this supernatural experience, she began to pursue supernatural powers. As in her original life trajectory, she eventually became a "bio-monster" step by step. However, due to the binding force of the contract, she lost her desires and remained chaste before being summoned. Also, because the hereditary blood disease was eliminated, she did not have to drink blood regularly to alleviate the severe side effects that the hereditary blood disease brought to her mutated body, as in her original life trajectory.
After reading Achina's detailed information in the team interface, Luo Jiajun was stunned.
Putting aside Achina's "current state," what does the question mark after "slight fatigue" mean?
Her backstory alone had already completely baffled Luo Jiajun.
It turns out that this "big vehicle" wasn't just game data coming to life, but a living person who actually existed in another world!
However, it seems that the super-dimensional apocalypse game, as some kind of higher-dimensional existence, established a master-servant relationship between her and Luo Jiajun through a contract, which enabled Luo Jiajun to summon her to his side.
The key point is that, due to the contract, this "eight-foot lady" who has lived for countless years is still a virgin? And because she was free from the troubles of hereditary blood disease in human times, she doesn't have to drink blood regularly like in the original Resident Evil 8 game!
It's not hard to imagine that, given her lifespan and physical condition far exceeding that of ordinary people, she probably viewed ordinary people as if they were monkeys.
In this way, if there is no need to drink blood, she will naturally not have the craving for drinking "monkey" blood.
"No wonder she reacted that way just now. It seems that the first step in summoning new wives is to learn about their detailed information in the team interface, which will make it easier to win them over." Luo Jiajun concluded, feeling satisfied.
It's simply because the "hyper-dimensional apocalypse game" in his mind seems too effeminate towards men.
It's one thing that all the summoned characters are beautiful female game characters.
Even someone like the Eight-Foot Lady was able to avoid the issues of "chastity" and "blood-drinking" without affecting other settings. In fact, it is precisely because of these avoidance measures that it makes more sense why she became a bio-monster.
Okay, okay, that's how it should be!
It's the same reason why many people only read male-oriented harem novels if they don't pander to men.
The more alluring the game is to men, the more satisfied Luo Jiajun becomes!

After eating and drinking to replenish their energy, Luo Jiajun and Achina rested for a while before preparing to enter the school ahead.
Before setting off, Luo Jiajun remembered that when he checked Archina's details in the [Team] interface, it showed that Archina's current status included "slightly tired" and a question mark. So he checked Archina's detailed information again.
Then it was discovered that, despite having eaten and drunk plenty of water and having rested briefly, Archina's current status was still displayed as:
(Slightly tired?)
This puzzled Luo Jiajun, so he asked Archina, "How are you feeling now? If you haven't rested well, you can leave later."
Although Achina did feel slightly tired, she didn't take it to heart. However, Luo Jiajun's sudden question made her feel a little confused.
"I have no problem."
The woman shook her head, then suddenly smiled charmingly and said to Luo Jiajun, "But you, young master, clearly don't look like you slept well. Would you like to come into my arms and rest for a while?"
Having only recently rekindled her long-dormant desires, Achina couldn't resist teasing her young master, Luo Jiajun, whenever she had the chance.
If she could, she wouldn't mind undressing Luo Jiajun and holding him in her arms like a baby, playing with him to her heart's content. The mere thought of Luo Jiajun's legs trembling, his penis incontinent, and him making seductive, girlish sounds as she stroked him filled her with excitement, bringing her to a climax.
From Achina's smiling yet gleaming eyes, Luo Jiajun could vaguely sense a wolfish, predatory hunger that seemed to want to devour him whole.
But with business at hand, Luo Jiajun had no time to think about it, and simply said to the woman with a serious expression:
"If there are no problems, let's set off now."
After saying that, Luo Jiajun slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked ahead.
Achina immediately followed Luo Jiajun.
The two arrived at the school gate and saw that it was tightly closed, covered with a large number of mutated vines. Sunlight filtered through the twisted vines, casting spiderweb-like spots of light on the gate. Suddenly, all the vines wrapped around the iron gate began to writhe, as if a slumbering swarm of snakes was about to awaken.
Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Jiajun raised his right hand, his five fingers spread wide, blue-white arcs of electricity dancing between his fingers, and current being released from his palm.
“Sizzle~!”
The large metal gate channeled a high-intensity current to every part of the gate. Accompanied by the crackling sound of the current, all the mutated vines that were entangled and clinging to the gate were quickly burned by the current, crackling and smoking, and lost their vitality.
Recalling the first time these mutated vines attacked him at home, how Achina had severed the attacking vines with her claws, splattering foul-smelling slime from the cuts, Luo Jiajun couldn't help but sigh:
"Luckily, these things contain moisture. If they were almost insulated like tree roots, my ability to discharge electricity wouldn't work."
"Don't worry, young master, with me here, you won't have any problems." Achina smiled and looked down at Luo Jiajun, then subconsciously stuck out her tongue and licked her lips again.
She was still looking forward to finding a safe place to stay later so she could have a deeper conversation with Luo Jiajun and get to know him better!
Luo Jiajun was only interested in getting his hands on the valuable items in the school, so he pointed to the locked iron gate in front of him and asked Archina, "Do you have a way to open this?"
“Of course!” Archina smiled at Luo Jiajun, then stretched out her hands and pried open a gap in the iron gate, big enough for her to bend down and crawl through.
Luo Jiajun was terrified.
Sure enough, this truck really can run someone over! Look at her strength, this isn't an exaggeration! It really can physically crush a person to death!
……
A short while later, Luo Jiajun and Achina bent down and passed through the iron gate that had been pried open, stepping into the school.
When the two arrived at the playground, the scene before them sent chills down their spines.
A row of trees at the edge of the playground had swelled to at least twice their original size. Each tree had a crack in its trunk, the height and width of which were just large enough to accommodate an adult man. Dark green sap seeped from the edges of the cracks, as if the trees were "digesting" something.
"These trees... could they have 'eaten' people?" Luo Jiajun said in a low voice, his throat tightening.
However, primary school classes start at 8 a.m., while this "plant mutation" version of the apocalypse broke out at around 6 a.m., when there should be hardly anyone in the school.
Indeed, the school was unusually quiet, and Luo Jiajun and Achina didn't see a single person.
“In any case, we’d better act quickly,” Archina said softly to Luo Jiajun, her crimson eyes narrowed.
Luo Jiajun silently brought up the game interface and opened the map.
According to the game map, the treasure chest was located in the teaching building on the other side of the playground. So Luo Jiajun called out to Achina and carefully led her around the playground, heading straight for the teaching building.
Unlike the surrounding buildings, which are almost always covered with various vines, the teaching building where Luo Jiajun and Achina are currently located appears perfectly normal. There are no vines climbing on it, no walls cracked or broken by any deformed plants, and no twisted or distorted greenery throughout the entire building.
This is normal, but it's very abnormal.
The eerie silence inside the building made Luo Jiajun even more tense.
Before long, Luo Jiajun and Achina searched all the classrooms on the first and second floors but found nothing of interest, and they were not attacked during the process.
The entire teaching building was so quiet that it seemed isolated from the outside world.
"It's too quiet..." Luo Jiajun murmured, feeling increasingly uneasy.
Continue exploring upwards until you reach the third floor.
A classroom in the middle of the corridor had its door ajar, and light shone through the crack, immediately catching Luo Jiajun's eye.
Luo Jiajun took a deep breath and headed straight for the classroom. As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw a treasure chest, about two feet square, placed in a corner directly opposite the door, emitting a soft, pale golden glow. This didn't conform to real-world logic, but it was very much like a game. Since the game was now synchronized with reality, Luo Jiajun wasn't surprised at all that there was a treasure chest in the classroom.
...The box, edged in brass, is decorated with relief patterns of some ancient vines. The raised patterns create the illusion of flowing under the changing light, as if they would actually grow and spread at any moment.
"found it!"
Luo Jiajun rushed forward in three strides. The moment the lid of the box was lifted, a uniquely shaped vessel lay quietly on the dark red velvet lining—the gilded bottle had a perfect teardrop shape, and the spherical bottom was engraved with fine, vein-like patterns. The gradually narrowing mouth of the bottle was sealed with a cork that gleamed with resin.
When Luo Jiajun took out the bottle, relevant information emerged.
【Red Dewdrop Holy Grail Bottle】: A recovery item that automatically replenishes every 24 hours. Drinking the dew in the bottle can restore injuries. From the Elden Ring.
"A blood vial! Good stuff!" Luo Jiajun happily picked up the Holy Grail vial.
The bottle was cool to the touch, with a texture like jade. But before Luo Jiajun could examine it closely, Achina, who was standing behind her, suddenly turned around and looked sharply towards the classroom.
"Something's coming." She lowered her voice, and her right hand instantly extended into a sharp claw. (The last two lines appear to be random characters and do not translate directly.)
Upon hearing what Achina said, Luo Jiajun's heart tightened, and he quickly stuffed the Holy Grail into his backpack.
The two walked out of the classroom.
At this moment, footsteps came from both sides of the corridor outside the classroom. Luo Jiajun looked closely and gasped, because four or five tree spirits were slowly approaching from both sides of the corridor!
