The dark scene shifted abruptly.
Qin Long found himself surrounded by a horde of zombies. Just when he thought he was doomed, a zombie in a white dress suddenly grabbed him, roaring fiercely at the surrounding zombies.
After rescuing him, the zombie didn’t intend to harm him, but it continued to follow him. Later, when he reunited with the skinny guy, the skinny guy was overjoyed to see Qin Long alive.
However, upon learning that the one who saved Qin Long was a zombie, a rather awkward situation arose. And this zombie, like a clueless child, was incredibly curious about everything. Then… the skinny guy named her Xiao Bai…
….
Seeing Qin Long faint, Xie Changyi grinned: “Qin Long, although I really wanted to spare your life, unfortunately, who told you to oppose me?”
A ball of raging fire slowly gathered in his hand, but at this moment a water arrow pierced through the air. Xie Changyi dodged it and looked at it fiercely: “Who?”
Fu Ke slowly walked out of the darkness. She looked at Qin Long, who was lying unconscious in the middle, narrowed her eyes, and then looked at Xie Changyi with a smile.
The moment Xie Changyi saw Fu Ke, his eyes widened, and a chill ran down his spine. He couldn’t help but take two steps back: “It’s you!”
His posture was wary, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Fu Ke tilted her head: “It’s me.”
After saying that, she looked at the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation composed of ability users. It was indeed a good thing. It could even evade her mental power. If she hadn’t come in person, she probably wouldn’t have been able to detect Qin Long even if he had died.
Fu Ke breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she trusted her intuition and came.
“Form the formation!” Xie Changyi nearly fainted with rage when he saw the group of people still standing in the same spot. Were these people pigs? Didn’t they see someone was coming?
However, even when Xie Changyi ordered them to form the formation, they remained rooted to the spot, as if they hadn’t heard him at all.
Immediately, Xie Changyi sensed something was wrong. He turned his head and saw that the people standing there had lifeless eyes, as if they had become puppets.
“This formation looks familiar? What is it?” Fu Ke asked with apparent interest, her tone very practiced, as if she didn’t intend to deal with Xie Changyi.
However, Xie Changyi did not let his guard down. He hadn’t forgotten the relationship between Qin Long and Fu Ke that he had heard about back at the base. Besides, he had previously forced Fu Ke to leave the D City base.
“What happened to them? What did you do to them?” Flames rose around Xie Changyi, enveloping him in concentric circles.
Fu Ke glared at Xie Changyi, displeased. “I’m asking you a question, don’t you understand?”
Then, seeing the flames beside him, she laughed. “So you like fire? Well then, how about trying my flame?”
She stretched out her hand, a tiny flame appearing in her palm, so weak compared to the flames around Xie Changyi that it seemed a breath could extinguish it.
Despite this, Xie Changyi dared not show any sign of relief. Fu Ke was a greater threat to him than Qin Long.
He hadn’t forgotten how he had coughed up blood and been unconscious for so long the last time he went up against her.
Just as Fu Ke threw the flame, Xie Changyi retreated hastily, transferring all the flames around him to his front, creating a massive fire escape.
However, just as the flame merged into the main fire, Xie Changyi’s eyes widened as he retreated rapidly. Even so, he felt a burning pain on his skin.
Fu Ke’s flame had merged with the main fire, and the flames that had previously been cold to Xie Changyi now emitted an intense heat. The high temperature made Xie Changyi feel that if he was any slower in retreating, he would be burned to ashes.
Xie Changyi was a man Fu Ke couldn’t understand.
He was ambitious, and possessed the ability to back it up. But someone like him couldn’t possibly be oblivious to the pros and cons.
For example, he knew Fu Ke wouldn’t harm anyone, yet he still tried to expel her from the base. Normally, someone like him would have sought to curry favor with a powerful ally.
After all, he knew how formidable Fu Ke was after Mao Xinhua was injured.
Creating a powerful enemy for himself wasn’t something Xie Changyi would do.
For instance, when Zhang Zhongmin was still around, Xie Changyi was ambitious, but he remained relatively well-behaved because he didn’t dare offend Zhang Zhongmin.
And with Qin Long, he always tried to win him over, only taking action after realizing it was impossible.
However, Xie Changyi never intended to establish a friendly relationship with Fu Ke from the beginning; from the start, he had positioned himself as Fu Ke’s adversary.
At this moment, noticing the flames were malfunctioning, Xie Changyi’s alarm bells rang. He gritted his teeth and turned to flee.
But as he turned around, his eyes gradually dimmed, and he stood motionless like everyone else.
….
“Changyi, what are you daydreaming about?” A girl with long, flowing hair tugged at Xie Changyi’s cheek, her large eyes fixed on him.
Xie Changyi turned to look at the girl: “Mo Mo…I…”
However, he couldn’t remember what he had been thinking, his mind going completely blank.
“Mo Mo, Changyi, hurry up, we’re leaving.” A gentle voice sounded from outside the door.
Xie Changyi remembered; today was the second day of his, Mo Mo’s, and his parents’ wedding, and they were going on their honeymoon.
Both he and Mo Mo came from single-parent families; Xie Changyi had grown up without a mother, and Mo Mo had grown up without a father. Strangely enough, after Xie Changyi and Mo Mo started dating, his father and Mo Mo’s mother met and got to know each other, and unexpectedly, feelings slowly developed between them as well.
This wedding was a joint affair between the pair of father and son, and mother and daughter.
“Okay, Mom, we’re coming right away!” Mo Mo said, grabbing Xie Changyi’s hand. “Come on, come on, stop daydreaming.”
Xie Changyi abruptly pulled Mo Mo’s hand back. “Can’t we not go?”
Mo Mo looked at Xie Changyi in surprise. “Why? This is our family’s honeymoon!”
Seeing Mo Mo’s confusion, Xie Changyi opened his mouth, but couldn’t explain why he suddenly didn’t want to go. He felt extremely anxious, but couldn’t remember why.
What did he want to say?
“Okay, okay, I know you want a honeymoon just for the two of us, but going out with Mom and Dad is nice too, isn’t it? A family honeymoon is something many people would envy.” Mo Mo comforted Xie Changyi as if he were a child.
No, that’s not it. Xie Changyi was somewhat bewildered. Why was it?
Xie Changyi couldn’t convince Mo Mo, and soon the family left, heading straight for the airport. However, while waiting to board at the airport, an unexpected incident occurred.
A stranger pounced on Mo Mo’s mother and bit her neck.
Screams and chaos erupted at the airport. Xie Changyi’s father, enraged, grabbed the man and tried to hit him, but was severely scratched by the man’s sharp fingernails.
Xie Changyi rushed over to help, and Mo Mo quickly helped her mother up from the ground.
She helped her mother sit down, but a moment later, her mother pounced on her and bit her hard…
“Mo Mo—” Before Xie Changyi could rush over, he realized his father was also acting strangely…
The scene shifted.
Xie Changyi was back to before they set off. He finally remembered why he didn’t want to go on the trip: today was the day the apocalypse began!
This time, he resolutely refused to let his family go out and quickly went to the supermarket downstairs to buy large quantities of bottled water, instant noodles, snacks, and all sorts of necessities.
Mo Mo was terrified by his frantic behavior, and even their parents were bewildered, fearing that Xie Changyi had been agitated.
So they discussed whether they should postpone their honeymoon to another day, even though it was a bit of a regret, seeing Xie Changyi acting like a different person still made them feel bad.
Just as Xie Changyi had almost filled the house to the brim, screams came from outside. Xie Changyi resolutely refused to let his parents and Mo Mo go out.
Fu Ke looked at Xie Changyi: “Let me give you a sweet dream.”
The reason Xie Changyi stood against Fu Ke wasn’t just because his father, stepmother, and lover had died at the hands of zombies. There was another, more important reason.
When Xie Changyi realized they had become zombies, he beheaded several people and buried them.
Fu Ke’s appearance reminded him that zombies could potentially become like normal people in the future. However, he had killed his own family and lover.
This was the fact Xie Changyi couldn’t accept.
Fu Ke took out the toy cars she had collected from her spatial storage, put Qin Long in one, looked at the group of people standing there, and then fixed her gaze on Xie Changyi.
“Since you hate zombies, then become a zombie yourself.” Originally, Fu Ke wanted to kill Xie Changyi directly. Even though she was disappointed in Brother Long, it didn’t mean she didn’t care about his life or death.
Regardless of Xie Changyi’s reasons for hating zombies, regardless of her reasons for wanting to deal with Brother Long, it was clear that Xie Changyi had touched Fu Ke’s sore spot.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, without starting the car, it automatically started moving forward.
High-level zombies were constantly arriving in D City. As for Xie Changyi and the others, unless Fu Ke deliberately brought them back to reality, they would remain trapped in that beautiful dream for the rest of their lives.
Liu Guo’an had been waiting for Qin Long to return, but he hadn’t seen him come back for a long time.
He was extremely anxious, but there was no one around to help him. He didn’t have Qin Long’s abilities and couldn’t possibly go out alone to search for him.
He didn’t sleep all night, and by the next morning, Qin Long still hadn’t returned.
Suddenly, Liu Guo’an collapsed onto the bed, not knowing what to do. Qin Long hadn’t returned; either something had happened to him, or he had left.
Neither of these was something Liu Guo’an wanted to see. It would be a huge blow to him and to the D City base.
Fu Ke didn’t return to the Chaoyang base but went to the villa.
After putting Qin Long on the bed, Fu Ke sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
Something was wrong. Qin Long was alright, but she still had a feeling of unease. So where did this lingering unease come from?
Aside from D City, which was connected to her, it seemed there was nowhere else she could connect with.
Fu Ke closed her eyes, leaned back on the sofa, and released all her mental energy. In an instant, she felt a familiar sensation. She immediately withdrew her mental energy and flashed into the space.
The space was teeming with animals and fields of crops, stretching as far as the eye could see, almost overflowing. However, the space was vast, and even so, it didn’t completely fill the entire area.
Upon entering the space, Fu Ke sat cross-legged. After a warm current flowed through her body, she successfully advanced.
Fu Ke suddenly opened her eyes, her blood-red eyes shining brightly. Those blood-red eyes were very clear, looking beautiful and alluring.
However, there was doubt in her eyes.
Since she could eat food, she hadn’t eaten any crystal cores. So where did this sudden advancement come from?
Flashing out of the space, Fu Ke took out a crystal core and examined it for a while. Previously, her energy was extracted from crystal cores, but now?
Qin Long opened his eyes, clutching his chest and gasping for breath. He immediately became alert upon realizing he was in unfamiliar surroundings.
He was in a room, and there was no one around, but this place was completely unfamiliar to him, both in his past and present lives.
He remembered being surrounded and attacked by Xie Changyi before collapsing… Looking around, he saw that his wounds hadn’t been treated. Qin Long stood up cautiously, opened the door, and warily surveyed his surroundings.
