Nancy woke up from the dream, and immediately dragged her tired body to check the wound on her foot. There was no bandage left, so she had to do a little by herself. In this world, she dared not treat wounds carelessly or something bad might happen.
The wound didn't get worse, Nancy breathed a sigh of relief.
Go to the window and draw the curtains.
As the night passed, the number of zombies on the farm increased again.
After counting, there were as many as fifteen, which exceeded the number of her arrows.
However, half of the zombies are wandering around the edge of the farm. As long as the zombies in front of the house are dealt with, she can touch the edge of the box wall and use stone methods to deal with other zombies.
Just do it, and tiptoe to the balcony with the fork, tie the steel fork to the edge of the balcony fence, and hang a thin wooden stick with a sharpened tip.
She didn't have the luxury of using arrows directly. Knives in the kitchen could also be used as arrows. She should tried it out first.
Pulling the string to aim, Nancy shot a wooden stick and missed. But it doesn't matter, she still has two knives and five sticks to use.
Continue to aim and shoot, this time hitting the zombie's chest, making a little progress.
Continue to repeat the action and shoot out all the knives and sticks, and Nancy successfully dealt with a wandering zombie.
Next, she can only use arrows. She took a deep breath and made sure to hit it. Whether she can solve the zombies on the farm today or not will depend on going to the forest to explore again she have to check the other part of the forest to look for some water and food.
With a steady mind, Nancy fully loaded the slingshot, closed her left eye, and aimed at the head of the nearest zombie. It missed and it attracted the nearby zombies. There's still six zombies left. So she keeps on shooting while hiding on a big wooden box until she used up all her arrows. She have to take back all the arrows later. Such a tiring life. Only two zombies are left but she didn't have much energy to have a melee with them so she drag her tired body in the attic and wait for the zombies to come and just drop the big rock on her space.
She hurriedly climbed into the attic, remove the ladder and wait for the two zombies to come. After waiting for a long no zombies have come.
"Hmmm? Where did they go? Should I take a look?"
She decided to wait a bit more. She get some bread in her space and a half bottle of water. This will be her breakfast. This is her last water. She really needs to go out. Why life is so hard?
After having enough rest, she checks the surrounding first. After making sure it's seems safe, she put down the ladder and went down. Then she carefully went to the living room only to find three people sitting on a dirty couch in there.
Holy! Why didn't she notice them?!
She saw three beautiful beings with different aura on them. One seems cold and aloof, there's also a a woman that exudes seductive charm and a girl that looks so innocent. She's about to escape before they notice her but before she can move her foot someone already notice her.
Will she die? It's okay, this place is not good. Death is a kind of relief.
"Hi," The woman that have and innocent appearance is the one who notice her first.
Nancy have no choice but to answered back." He...hello, may I ask who are you and why are you in here?"
She will just test if they know Lily, if not , she'll just pretend to be her. The question is are they players or NPC? But they're are extraordinary beautiful and she don't think someone like that beautiful can be produced in her world.
"Do you live in here? I'm sorry if we went inside without your permission. We've been wandering outside for the whole night and we saw this place and thought no one lives in here. By the way, my name is Violet, and this two are my sister, the girl with the silver hair is Canary and the one with the black hair is Sapphire."
Nancy didn't let her guard down even if the girl named Violet looks like a harmless one. " You're not from here?" She didn't introduce herself and try to get much more information just to be sure.
Of course the three of them know what's going on Nancy's mind. They know she'll be wary of them but it's okay, they can get close to her little by little.
"We are from the neighboring town the Gems Town. But that place is in now in ruins so we decided to go in Flower town. You're the first person we encountered. "- this time the one who explained is Canary. " We have no ill intention, we just need some place to stay for the meantime. There's a lot of strange things happening and some strangers keeps on appearing. So we understand that you can't trust us our identity."
Canary went direct to the point. Nancy was a bit taken aback." My name is Lily, I rarely go out so I don't have much knowledge about what's happening outside our farm. Is it really that bad?"
Sapphire sighed and have a melancholic look on her face, "It is really bad. You're place is in my better condition. We used to live in the orphanage but once we became adults we decided to built a jewelry store. Unfortunately, this virus broke out and destroyed everything. "
"We know you are afraid we are one of those strangers but we didn't have ID to prove our identity." Canary seems to be sad.
Nancy was about to say something when Violet suddenly exclaimed. " Oh! I remember, we were once featured in an old news. " then she rummage on her bag and found a crumpled piece of an old newspaper. "Here it is!"
She gave the newspaper to Nancy. She opened it and really saw an article about the three sisters, they're are famous for their jewelry making talent. In the article, it mentioned that they're are all orphans that grew up in the Amethyst Orphanage. The mayor gives them a reward for their contribution to the town.
She pretend to be shocked." wow! you're famous!"
The three sisters just smile gently.
"Not really, it just that the mayor is a friend of the dean in the orphanage and he thinks of giving us a reward. He have seen us grow, he's like a father to us. Unfortunately...." Sapphire thinks of something and looks like about to cry. It hurts! It really hurts.
Can you two stop pinching my back too much! Sapphire teary eyes is real. It's really hurts! This two are using this to bully her.
Nancy really believe it. This newspaper can't be fake also based on their looks. They didn't really look like someone who came from her world. Nancy's mind is spinning and she's thinking on how she can use it to make her cover as Lily much more convincing.
Nancy and the three sisters have their own ideas and both sides wants to use each other.
