ARC 1: APOCALYPSE WORLD
CHAPTER 1 - Sudden Arrival
Wu Lianyi felt that her soul entered a body very smoothly. After she took control of the body, she felt a cold light flashing in front of her eyes and a dark, smelly withered finger was grabbing at her face fiercely. The cold light was emitted by the long, blue and black nails on the withered hands.
Wu Lianyi's expression remained calm, as she fell on her back, dodging the hand, then rolled over, completely getting rid of the malicious attacker.
At this moment, Wu Lianyi greeted the group of people in black suits who sent her to the mission. Didn't they say it's a youth campus mission? Where is the campus? Where is the youth? What she saw were claws threatening her life, and what she smelled was the stench of blood.
The more this happened, the calmer she became. Although she didn't know what went wrong, she didn't want to go offline as soon as she came up.
Her ears were filled with screams and cries of pain, as well as a different kind of wheezing sound, and a scalp-numbing chewing sound.
She avoided the dangerous attack just now and used the dimness of the night to rush into the shadows behind the trash can in the alley 20 meters away from the street.
After confirming that there were no such monsters around, Lianyi looked around and saw the scene of what looked like hell on earth, with men, women, and children running away, and a smelly monster chasing behind them, moving slowly but very persistently.
"What exactly is going on?"
Wu Lianyi whispered, and then she felt dizzy for a moment, and a memory that did not belong to her came flooding in, helping her understand her current situation.
The world the original body lived in was experiencing the end of the world. The owner of the body she entered was also named Wu Lianyi, and she was just a small cannon fodder in this apocalypse.
When the apocalypse came, the original body and a group of people were gathered in a restaurant to celebrate the promotion of their good sister Yun Rou to department manager. The original body was a little depressed because she missed the opportunity to be promoted.
Even so, she wasn't angry, she was still very happy for her good sister. It was a rare occasion for them to get together so she drank two more glasses of wine. In the end, she had to ask her fiancé Ma Tao to pick her up.
Before Yun Rou and Ma Tao could help Wu Lianyi back to her rental house, something strange happened. After 12 midnight, the apocalypse suddenly arrived and everyone fell asleep instantly.
Half an hour later, when everyone woke up, everything had changed. Some of the people around them had turned into zombies without their own consciousness and only had the instinct to eat flesh and blood.
Unfortunately, the original body, her fiancé Ma Tao, and her good sister Yun Rou were also attacked by zombies. In the end, the original body was the one left behind. Her fiancé Ma Tao ran away holding Yun Rou's hand, and hid inside Wu Lianyi's home which was very close to their location.
From the original body's rental house, Yun Rou accidentally got the jade fruit core left by the original body's grandmother for her and gained spatial ability. At that time, the original body had become a member of the zombie army.
After becoming a zombie, the original body slowly began to advance step by step by eating flesh and blood. After being promoted to a 7th-level zombie, she actually awakened her memories from before she was turned into a zombie.
When she went to seek revenge on her fiancé Ma Tao, she discovered that he had already died in the first year of the apocalypse, and was killed by Yun Rou. The explanation given to the public was because Ma Tao killed her best sister.
Wu Lianyi, the taskmaster, frowned when she saw this, and a thought flashed in her mind: "How could there be such a coincidence? This Yun Rou is very suspicious!"
As a Mahayana true venerable who was framed and fell in the hands of her favourite disciple, Wu Lianyi does not believe in any coincidences.
"The taskmaster discovered the bug and the whole story from God's perspective is now being transmitted."
A mechanical and dull voice echoed in Wu Lianyi's mind, making her subconsciously rub her ears. The voice was really unpleasant.
The original Wu Lianyi was not a little cannon fodder in the apocalypse she thought she was. She was the absolute protagonist in this apocalyptic evolution. Precisely because she was the protagonist, even after turning into a zombie, she was still able to advance to the 7th-level step by step.
The real problem is Yun Rou. She is a soul from another world who accidentally entered the small world in the early days of the turmoil in the apocalypse and replaced the real Yun Rou. Relying on her extraordinary sensitivity, she seized the initiative step by step, grasped the opportunities that belonged to the original body and started on her road to beauty and strength.
However, as a soul from another world, her obsession is to return to her original world, so the evolution of this small world has no meaning to her. In her eyes, this is just a low-level plane.
In order to return to her own plane, except for the initial period when she went to the joint base to eliminate zombies for survival, she spent the rest of the time fighting for power and profit, making herself the supreme commander, then began to exploit the resources of the small world to build interstellar spaceships.
Her operation clearly exceeded the level of evolution of the small world. The final result was that in the war between zombies and humans, the zombies gained the upper hand and the small world collapsed.
This is also the reason why the Space and Time Administration accepted this counterattack mission. After all, it is a small world. If it is destroyed due to external reasons, countless living beings will die, which is not conducive to the evolution of the world.
The purpose of the small world consciousness is very simple. It hopes that the taskmaster can help him evolve successfully and eliminate the wandering soul from another world.
After receiving this information, taskmaster Wu Lianyi directly asked: "Didn't you say that the first mission was the youth campus? Why did you send me to this hellhole?"
"Sizzle. Sizzle. Signal reception is weak, and the communicator is about to go offline. Please complete the level 3 mission as soon as possible! Good luck!"
Then there was no sound at all. Wu Lianyi was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She was given a third-level mission as soon as she came up, but she was only a beginner tasker.
Due to the environment, this mission was classified as a third-level mission. As a result, during the transmission process, the novice Wu Lianyi was sent over by mistake. The intermediate taskmaster who originally took on this apocalyptic mission was at school struggling with books at this time.

T/N: Would it be better to use 'original body', 'original person' or 'original owner' for the real person before the taskmaster borrowed the body?
