"I've done good deeds all my life, so it's normal for me to see an angel before I die. It must be my good fortune..."

A glimmer of light appeared in the young man's eyes, then he resignedly closed them. "Angel sister! Take me away!"

After saying that, he grabbed Lu Sheng's red sneakers and pressed his face firmly against the shoes.

Rather than being devoured alive by those ugly and disgusting monsters, I'd rather be taken away in the sweet illusion of the angel sister!

The angel sister is so pretty, but the combination of pink sweatpants and red sneakers is a bit of an eyesore.

But this dream felt so real; the knotted shoelaces were still a bit uncomfortable...

The crowd behind Lu Sheng: "..."

Zhang Xiaojuan stared in disbelief, grabbed the man by the collar and pulled him up from the ground. "Dude...you've got some nerve..."

"It has to be the people from the coast, so warm and hospitable," Cheng Mofan muttered to himself, secretly giving the young man a thumbs up.

How presumptuous of him... to come up and grab the boss's leg right away... This is truly an unexpected turn of events...

The man groggily opened his eyes, glanced at Zhang Xiaojuan subconsciously, and muttered to himself, "Can angels dye their hair?"

After he finished speaking, his gaze suddenly locked onto Zhuangzhuang, who was lazily licking his eggs next to Lu Sheng.

"Even in heaven... there is Hakimi..."

Overjoyed, he burst into tears and stumbled over to hug Zhuangzhuang's big, furry head.

It's been three years since the apocalypse, and almost all the animals have mutated. It's been a long time since I've seen such an adorable kitten...

The furry, warm feel, and the smell of spicy hot pot on my ears...

Even the flavor of the broth tastes so authentic...

It wasn't until a few cat hairs got into his nose and he sneezed three times in a row that he realized what he was seeing wasn't a hallucination he had before his death...

"What's your name?" Lu Sheng asked calmly.

The young man looked completely bewildered. "Xue Ming."

Meanwhile, the enormous creatures outside the enclosure, taking advantage of the guards' exhaustion, were rampaging wildly inwards.

The middle-aged man, whose eyes were bloodshot, had just used his ice-based powers to plug the gap in the fence. He used the last drop of his power to summon layers of ice to reinforce the fence.

The thick ice temporarily blocked the monsters' impact, but their sharp pincers, like excavators, were chiseling away at the ice, and it wouldn't be long before they broke through it!

"Everyone, retreat immediately!" The middle-aged man leaned against the ice, shouting hoarsely.

"Captain, are we abandoning this outpost?"

The team members who were still fighting asked hesitantly.

Although the counterattack continues, this group's superpowers are almost depleted.

To hold humanity's last line of defense, they fought for several days, relying on protein bars and caffeine to sustain their lives.

But this battle has lasted so long that it has reached the limit of human physical and mental strength.

More and more people are experiencing mental confusion and depletion of their superpowers. Many have no superpowers left and can only barely cope with the situation by relying on outdated weapons such as submachine guns or long knives.

There's no point in persisting any longer.

It's simply a matter of dying immediately or suffering a complete rout.

Everyone was clinging to life out of inertia; no one was expecting a miracle to happen.

"You all go, retreat as far as possible, I'll buy you some time." The middle-aged man's fingers trembled as he took out a bottle of painkillers from his pocket and swallowed them all in one gulp with ice water.

He was actually most afraid of pain; he had always pretended to be very strong in front of his subordinates.

But at this point, all he hoped was that the pain of being eaten would be lessened.

I haven't even planned how I'll live my life, and now I'm about to die here.

"Boss, don't rush to take drugs, reinforcements from M City have arrived!"

Xue Ming rushed over and grabbed the middle-aged man by the neck, punching him twice.

Caught off guard, the middle-aged man immediately knelt on the ground and sprayed white pills all over the floor.

But when they heard that M City had come to their aid, the group, who had been utterly despondent, were instantly filled with renewed hope.

M City, the only lighthouse in the apocalypse.

Legend has it that the city is even more prosperous than before the apocalypse, with everyone having enough to eat, warm clothes and houses, and no one having to worry about being eaten by zombies every day.

That was humanity's last hope and spark...

Now, just when everyone is in despair, support from City M has arrived!

The middle-aged man opened his eyes blankly, and when he realized that there were only a few young people in front of him, his newly ignited hope was extinguished once again.

Even with their high-level superpowers, these few people alone cannot handle the vast number of mutated creatures at present.

Click.

A series of crisp sounds.

The ice outside the fence finally gave way and cracked.

Just as everyone was at a loss and about to give up, Lu Sheng gave Sun Tiantian a wink, "Tiantian, reinforce the fence."

"good!"

With the daily irrigation from the crystal cores, Sun Tiantian and the others' superpower levels all reached level nine or ten.

She easily erected a towering ice wall, completely isolating the human base from the menacing sea creatures.

The security team watched in disbelief as a three-meter-high ice wall rose from the ground, their mouths agape in an "O" shape.

"Boss, didn't you say you were extremely authoritative in all aspects of ice magic?" Xue Ming stared dumbfounded at the solid fortress in front of him and muttered, "As expected of someone from a big city, he's so awesome right from the start."

Han Hongguang, the manager of Yangfan Base, turned red in the face from choking on the pills in his throat. "You little brat, are you trying to murder me..."

The high wall temporarily slowed the attack by the marine life, and the people inside the wall were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Many of them collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
