37: Baby-Faced Busty Girl, the Terrifying Giant Tree in the City Center!

Ding!

Detected a Goddess who meets the System’s standards, beginning detailed scan.

Name: Su Yun.

Age: 27.

Appearance: 88 points.

Figure: 94 points.

Inner Quality: 100 points (pure and immaculate).

Total Score: 90 points.

Assessment: Taking her in can unlock one random resource.

90 points was the lowest score of any woman who had met the System’s criteria so far.

Yet even at that lowest score, this policewoman’s looks ranked at top-beauty level among ordinary people.

She was of a level Shen Yi could never have approached before.

Her heroic, valiant aura especially set her apart from other girls.

As for the long-haired girl beside Zhou Wan’er, although Shen Yi thought she was far from ugly and even pleasantly pretty, she failed to trigger a System prompt.

It seemed she did not satisfy the requirements for unlocking resources.

“Hello, comrade, my name is Su Yun from the Municipal Public Security Bureau; how did you get in here?” After finishing her self-introduction, Su Yun asked seriously.

In her view, Shen Yi might not be a police officer, yet he probably was not a bad person, or he would not have risked going out to save people in such a special time.

“I’m Shen Yi,” he paused, glanced toward the entrance, and said, “I just walked in like this, why?”

The policewoman froze when she heard that.

Zhou Wan’er and the long-haired girl also stiffened, and Zhou Wan’er even blurted out, “Brother Shen Yi, you just walked right in!?”

“Mm, what’s wrong?”

Naturally, Shen Yi would not reveal his trump card to strangers who were not yet his women, so he pretended he had simply walked in.

“Brother Shen Yi, you’re really lucky! There’s an invisible big snake outside, and it actually didn’t attack you…” Zhou Wan’er patted her chest as though relieved, and the trembling motion was rather eye-catching.

She was the very embodiment of a baby-faced busty girl.

Zhou Wan’er also knew how to capitalize on her advantages.

Seeing Shen Yi look at her, she thought to herself that her guess had been right…

If she could reel in Shen Yi and have him protect her, she would be much safer from then on!

Besides, she could make Shen Yi go out to find food and water.

“An invisible snake?” Shen Yi’s heart gave a sudden jolt.

No wonder he had seen only drag marks and blood but no people.

Now even mutated animals had superpowers!?

They could damn well turn invisible!

How the hell were humans supposed to cope?

“That probably isn’t a snake; I saw it had four legs, so it should be a gecko!” the long-haired girl explained.

Policewoman Su Yun nodded in agreement and said, “Yes, it is a gecko, but its body is over 1 meter long, longer than most snakes, and its invisibility isn’t real invisibility; it merely changes its skin color to match the surroundings, and with the black fog it’s hard to spot.”

“Several survivors I rescued were ambushed and killed by this color-changing gecko, so I’m quite familiar with it,” she added.

“Changing color? Isn’t that a chameleon’s ability?” Shen Yi looked puzzled.

A hybrid?

Or had the mutation simply given the gecko that ability?

Su Yun said, “I also suspected it might be a mutated chameleon, but from what I saw it looked more like a gecko.”

This policewoman had to have some skill to survive the apocalypse.

Shen Yi fell into thought.

Whether it was a chameleon or a gecko, the ability to change color made it a tough opponent!

If he had not teleported inside, it might really have ambushed him before he could react.

No wonder these three women were hiding in the convenience store’s little room; they simply couldn’t deal with the gecko!

Su Yun advised, “Comrade, if you weren’t attacked when you came in, it may already have left; you should seize this chance and leave quickly before it doubles back, because this gecko is extremely cunning.”

Zhou Wan’er and the long-haired girl nodded at once.

Their roommate had been killed by this insidious gecko, and if Su Yun had not happened to pass by and scare it off with a gunshot, they would probably have died too.

Only after talking did they learn that Policewoman Su Yun had not merely been passing by; she had been hunting the gecko all along.

The gecko had eaten several people, including a child Su Yun had managed to save with great effort, which was why she was determined to fight it at the risk of her own life!

“Let’s wait a bit longer; I heard a strange sound when I came in, so it might still be prowling nearby,” Shen Yi fabricated a reason.

He could leave whenever he wished, but taking Zhou Wan’er away would not be easy.

As for Policewoman Su Yun, Shen Yi had no intention of taking her in for the moment.

Unless Su Yun was willing to hand her weapon over to him.

Or, he could guarantee her absolute loyalty.

Otherwise, with a ticking time bomb at his side, Shen Yi would not even sleep soundly.

“I see…”

Su Yun frowned.

After thinking for a moment she said, “How about this: I’ll go out first and try to lure it away, then you can leave!”

“Ah? Sister Su Yun, what if you run into danger?” Zhou Wan’er asked in concern.

“I’m a police officer; protecting you is my duty.”

Su Yun answered earnestly, then a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes as she said coldly, “Besides, I must kill it! Even at the cost of my life, I absolutely won’t let it harm innocent people again!”

As she spoke, she checked the bullets in her gun, getting ready to act.

She was a decisive woman of action.

“Sister Su Yun, you… you really are a good police officer!” Zhou Wan’er and the long-haired girl looked at her moved.

Yet they were merely moved and made no attempt to stop her.

Shen Yi was also a bit surprised; he had not expected such noble character from this policewoman.

But that was still good news.

With the policewoman drawing the gecko away, he could lead Zhou Wan’er out safely.

After pondering for a few seconds, Shen Yi looked at Su Yun and probed, “Officer Su, is there still any rescue in the city now?”

Hearing the question, Su Yun’s face clouded and she said in a low voice, “Although I shouldn’t say so, there is probably no rescue at all.”

“A few days ago, all my colleagues at the Municipal Public Security Bureau where I serve had already sacrificed their lives.”

“I don’t know the situation in the other precincts, but I imagine it’s roughly the same.”

“There may still be surviving officers, but… probably not many.”

“With just them, it’s impossible to fight a disaster like this… nor can they rescue the citizens of this city.”

As Su Yun spoke, her mood grew progressively depressed.

Hearing this, Shen Yi felt relieved yet asked curiously, “What exactly happened? How could so many people have died?”

Logically, if ordinary people could survive, how had trained officers with firearms died so fast?

It really didn’t make sense.

“Sigh…” Su Yun let out a deep breath, frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally explained, “This matter was highly confidential and should not have been revealed, but now it no longer matters whether it leaks or not.”

“On the first day the apocalypse broke out, a huge strange tree appeared in the city center; it seemed alive and grew at a terrifying speed! In just a few hours it shot up to several dozen meters and kept encroaching on the surrounding land!”

“While it was growing, it even toppled two high-rises downtown, causing thousands of civilian deaths…”

“Several dozen meters?”

Zhou Wan’er and the long-haired girl exclaimed simultaneously.

Shen Yi also showed a look of astonishment.

A tree that grew dozens of meters in just a few hours was far more terrifying than those mutated trees on the street!

And, nearly 10 days had passed since the outbreak; if it kept growing at that speed, how horrifying would it be now!?

What would happen if it were allowed to keep on growing?

Would it swallow the whole Shancheng or even overturn it!?
