GBP Chapter 1 Crossing
Chapter 1 Crossing
In 2050 AD, the apocalypse broke out, zombies roamed the land, plants and animals began to mutate, and some humans began to awaken supernatural abilities. Humans established safe zones and fought against the zombies for decades. In the northern Safe Zone 07, which is adjacent to the mountains, in 2060, a zombie king who could control mutated species was born and led the mutated species in the mountains to attack Safe Zone 07.
"Lin Yan, Man Lin!" a man holding a particle gun shouted. Lightning flashed in his hand, filling the gun, and he fired it, annihilating a group of aliens.
The alien species in front of the barrier were still a dark mass, and the ones that had been eliminated quickly surged back in.
Lin Yan touched the barrier with both hands, and the vines planted on the barrier grew rapidly, strangling a group of zombies. The vines stretched out and densely surrounded the barrier, making it difficult for the aliens behind to advance.
The combat team finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, as the zombie king let out a roar, a large number of alien species surged forward, refusing to stop even as they were strangled by the vines. The vines were quickly submerged by layer upon layer of alien corpses.
The front-line combatants were powerless to resist and were quickly overwhelmed by the alien species.
"Retreat to the barrier!" shouted the lightning-type ability user wielding a particle gun.
Although the walls of the safe zone were sturdy, they couldn't hold out for long against so many alien species. The lightning-type ability user, who was the captain of this combat team, made a decision at that moment.
"Teams three and four, lead the residents to retreat from the rear; the rest of you, hold the fortifications! Buy time for the main force to evacuate!"
"Lin Yan, you have spatial abilities, retreat with them."
"Captain, the team's supplies have been handed over to Team Three. I will stay and fight alongside you!" The girl in the black combat uniform stood straight against the wall. She had delicate features and a bright and beautiful face. If it were peacetime, she would definitely be a beauty sought after by those who admired good looks.
Her eyes were bright and resolute, her face calm. Even knowing that she was about to face death, she showed no fear, like a plum blossom standing proudly in the snow in the cold winter.
Since the apocalypse began, Lin Yan has lost her family and has no ties. Over the years, she has only had her teammates by her side, and she will not abandon them now.
"Alright! Then this will be our final battle. Let's fight to our hearts' content!"
"Kill!!!" The combat team members were all full of fighting spirit, and none of them retreated as they charged towards the horde of zombies.
…………
"Hiss, am I dead?" Lin Yan felt like he was in a white, indistinct place where he couldn't see anything. His body felt heavy, he couldn't move, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
In a daze, Lin Yan slowly regained consciousness. It seemed like someone was wiping her face. She opened her eyes groggily and saw a haggard woman looking at her with heartache.
She felt unwell and drifted off to sleep again until she was woken up by the noise outside.
"That damn debt collector! She can't do any work, she just eats and drinks for free every day, and she even wants to spend my money on medicine!!" The sharp shouts from outside gradually brought Lin Yan back to his senses.
She opened her eyes and saw the roof in front of her, which was covered with thick thatch. She turned her eyes and looked around. The walls of the house were covered with mud and grass, and were mottled. The furniture in the house was simple and rough: a wooden table, a few wooden chairs, and a broken stove. It was obviously a poor family.
"How did I get here? Wasn't I dead?" Lin Yan and his teammates fought the zombie king to the last moment, buying time for the people behind them to retreat. In the end, he self-destructed, severely injuring the zombie king.
Lin Yan was filled with doubt. She moved her body and felt a splitting headache. She struggled to get up.
"Yan'er, you're awake!" A thin woman came over, helped Lin Yan up from the kang (a heated brick bed), and brought her a bowl of water.
After drinking a bowl of water, Lin Yan felt a little better. She looked at the woman in front of her. Her face was haggard, but her eyes were gentle, and she could tell that she was a beauty.
Lin Yan looked down at her small hands again; they were thin and dry, with rough skin. These weren't her hands. While she was still wondering, the sharp, cursing voice came from outside again.
"Oh my god, the chicken coop hasn't been swept yet! The little debt collector is lying around, and the big debt collector is lying around too. They're all so lazy, and I'm the one who has to do all the work!"
The woman frowned and said, "Yan Yan, rest a little longer. I'll go out and take a look."
"Mother?" Lin Yan thought to himself.
The woman put down her bowl, opened the door and went out. "Mother, I'll go sweep in a bit. Yan Yan is still sick, let her rest for a couple of days."
“How could our family afford to raise such a delicate child? I told you I wouldn’t let the eldest son marry you. Look at this family, not a single one of them is easy to deal with! They’re always sick, sick, sick…” A burly old woman stood at the door, hands on her hips, cursing.
The woman lowered her head, offering no rebuttal, and simply went to get a broom to sweep the chicken coop.
The cursing continued, and seeing that the woman didn't respond for a long time, he got bored and turned around and went back into the house.
"I didn't die, but it seems like I've transmigrated?" Lin Yan sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and slowly accepted the original owner's memories.
The little girl's name is Lin Yan. Her mother is Zheng Yun, who is from Daozhuang Village, a neighboring village. Her father is Lin Hai, the eldest son of the Lin family. She also has a younger brother, Lin Yu. The two elders of the Lin family are still alive. They have an uncle named Lin Fang, a wife named Li Ping, a cousin named Lin Jie, and an unmarried aunt named Lin He Rui.
Actually, at first, Lin's mother treated her eldest son's family quite well. When Lin Hai was a child, he learned some skills from an old carpenter in the village and could do some carpentry work, which brought a lot of money to the family, so Lin's mother always went along with him.
Until one day, when Lin Hai was making a cabinet, a falling plank broke his leg. He recuperated for two months, incurred a large medical expense, and was still not fully recovered.
Lin Hai's leg injury left him with a limp, and his legs would ache when it got cold, making it impossible for him to do heavy work.
Lin's mother, Zheng Yun, faced increased burdens and her health began to decline. The eldest son's family gave less money to Old Madam Lin, and Old Madam Lin's attitude towards the eldest son's family changed drastically, feeling that the children she had raised were a waste of money.
So when the little girl fell ill, Grandma Lin refused to pay for a doctor. Since Father Lin had no money, he and Mother Lin discussed selling a silver hairpin that Mother Lin had given as part of her dowry. With the money, they hired someone to take a look at the girl.
However, the village doctor's skills were not very good, and he couldn't see the problem with the little girl. He just thought it was a common cold and gave her two doses of medicine, but she didn't get better. Lin's mother was about to use her dowry to raise money to go to town to invite a doctor when Lin Yan suddenly woke up.
Lin Yan carefully examined the little girl's body and found that she was severely potassium deficient, which was caused by long-term malnutrition and directly led to her death. If she hadn't transmigrated, Lin's parents would probably have collapsed.
Lin Yan thought to himself: It's amazing that I didn't die and was reborn as a twelve-year-old girl. I wonder if the captain and the others also had such an adventure and were able to live again somewhere.
Wait a minute... this plot seems a little familiar to her! Lin Yan's eyes widened.
