Su Yining covered her face, utterly embarrassed. Even after the police came to take the thugs away, she still regretted her impulse.

"Are you really fine?" A deep voice tinged with worry echoed in her ears. Her cheeks burned even more. "Your hand is injured. Let me take a look."

She subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but it was too late.

After the police came, this strange man brought her away. His clothing when he first came to save her was truly strange. The material was like some kind of coarse beast’s hide, obviously not normal clothes.

Then, he disappeared for a few minutes and returned with brand new clothing. He even brought a box of first aid kits.

Her mind returned to the scenes that had just happened not too long ago. She saw this man who was strangely familiar to her game Yuanyuan’s real face picture beating up the zombie and then the thugs who had just entered the room.

She didn’t see the scenes, mostly because he just landed a few punches on them before dragging them away. He beat them up in the other room, not wanting to let her see the violent scene.

Although she already branded Lang Zi as a zombie in her heart, she didn’t know whether he was one. Most likely it was because his disease worsened and caused him to appear like one.

The thugs must have wanted to force her to sign the inheritance waiver by using him to intimidate her. That must be it! Her brain quickly made up an excuse.

Next... she began to ponder about her current situation.

This strange man was applying something on the wound on her hand. As soon as the police came, he brought her away and they hadn’t talked much since.

At this moment, they were in her house...

"How did you know the address to my house?" She couldn’t help but ask.

The whole thing was just too strange, and she had a nagging feeling she should get to the bottom of things.

Xie Ziyuan lifted his head and raised his eyebrows. He was truly good looking; perhaps the most good looking person she had ever seen. His sharp eyebrows, and then... she subconsciously looked at his ears.

If it were her Yuanyuan in his silver wolf form, he would have his fluffy ears, but... this person was completely human.

So, this must have been a coincidence, right? Still, some details just didn’t add up. Although she was thankful to her savior, she still needed to get some explanation.

Xie Ziyuan tilted his head. It was the first time he had seen her. Her current appearance was slightly disheveled, but she still looked beautiful.

Beautiful and... innocent.

"I rummaged through the thugs’ things and found your address," he answered lightly.

She withdrew her hand, falling silent. Her forehead marred into frown. "Why did you save me? How did you find the thugs? Lastly... what’s your name?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

She had asked so many questions, but one word remained in his mind. Name. What’s her name? She had never told him.

"How about you introduce your name first?" Xie Ziyuan proposed.

A tinge of suspicion seeped into her heart. He said he found her address from the document on the thugs’ files, yet he didn’t know her name?

"Let’s introduce each other, shall we?" His eyes flickered with amusement at the suspicion in her eyes. Unfortunately, she looked like such a soft girl. If he directly told her, he was worried she might have a deep shock or even panic attack.

As such, he had to take this slowly.

Last night, he checked the items that she had given him besides the detoxification pills, and he found an unusual teleportation talisman.

It would lead him to another world...

The space fluctuation was too strange, something that didn’t belong to the beastmen’s apocalyptic world. The fluctuation was also more gentle, showing that the other side—where the talisman would lead him to—was a peaceful world.

So, he took a gamble. He noticed her presence straight away; he had been teleported near her. Just in time to see a zombie lunging toward her.

Zombie...

This was obviously not a good sign. This world had begun to show the characteristics of an apocalyptic world. To be exact, there was also the fog remnant lingering in the air.

The meaning of the existence of the fog was clear: the apocalypse here had started.

And, all the beings occupying this world were still unaware about it.

As for how he found her home, he did it based on her scent. This house smelled like her the most.

"I am Su Yining." She began, answering honestly. "Now, can you introduce yourself?"

Su Yining.

This name really suited her. Someone who should be peaceful and untainted by the filth of the world.

Xie Ziyuan nodded, answering a little playfully. "I am Xie Ziyuan."

He saw her eyes widened, and she took a deep breath. Her hand went to her chest, her mouth wide agape.

"You... you... did you just say... Xie Ziyuan?" She stuttered.

Then, she shook her head, muttering under her breath. "It must have been a coincidence, just a coincidence."

She looked up and found Xie Ziyuan smiling at her, making her feel even more unbalanced. But... how could there be such a coincidence in this world?

Her mind instantly listed a few anomalies she had encountered from playing the game. Her weird phone when she updated it, the AI suddenly became proactive in asking her questions, and... and...

There was also a strange creature like Xiao Lei in this world. It had the power of lightning and could understand human words, so... perhaps the existence of beastmen wasn’t so strange anymore?

She gulped at the thought. Her eyes scanned Xie Ziyuan’s face and then his back, as if searching for something.

Xie Ziyuan could feel deep amusement in his chest as he observed her ever changing expression. There was also slight joy. She might have handled the news better than he had initially expected.

However, he didn’t rush, waiting for her to calm down first.

"Are you really Xie Ziyuan from the game Apocalypse Survival...?"

At this moment, a loud meow echoed in the room. Xiao Lei had returned.
