Apocalyptic Nation: The Apocalypse is Ahead, I Have Your Back

"What are you afraid of? I'm still here." This was all Shi Yin could promise. As long as she remained, the Flame Dragon Nation would not perish.

Facing the apocalypse, Shi Yin dec...

Chapter 359 Don't come looking for me

"boom----!"

The deafening roar even darkened the sky for a moment; the power was so great that people would believe a nuclear bomb had exploded.

The clone sent by Lucifer is a part of his main body, possessing more than 50% of his power. Of course, Shion also knows this method. If this clone dies, it will harm the main body. Lucifer is naturally unwilling to self-destruct.

But Shi Yin is willing to sacrifice; she is best at exchanging injuries for injuries and blood for blood.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Freya and Nanzhu felt a blur before their eyes and found themselves at their doorstep. However, Shiyin did not open the door but collapsed right there at the entrance.

"Miss!"

"elder sister!"

The two were startled and quickly tried to open the door to help Shi Yin inside.

"Don't open the door, I'll just lie here for a while." Shi Yin stopped Freya from moving. "If you make a mess of the house, Mom will scold me."

"Sister... what are you saying?" For some reason, Freya's nose tingled with tears.

"I'm so lazy, I don't like cleaning. Even though it's just a matter of pressing the washing machine a couple of times, I still tend to leave it for a day or two." Shi Yin leaned against the wall and smiled. "Usually, my parents nag me while they do it for me."

"Anyway, we can't make the house dirty." Shi Yin added, "Could I ask you for a favor?"

"Please speak." Nan Zhu held Shi Yin's hand, her heart aching slightly.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. I'm just weak from my injuries, not dying." Shi Yin said helplessly, "I need two days to heal, but Lucifer will probably seize the opportunity to attack the shelter's main camp during these two days. Can you hold out for me for one day?"

"Also, Nanzhu, do you like me?" Shi Yin's expression was somewhat strange.

Nanzhu: "..."

Being pointed out so bluntly made Nan Zhu's face turn pale. He hadn't expected Shi Yin to be so direct.

"Don't misunderstand, I just wanted to say something. Don't romanticize your feelings; it doesn't necessarily mean you like someone." Shi Yin patted Nan Zhu's shoulder: "We've only known each other for a short time. Can you distinguish between family, friendship, love, or the suspension bridge effect when you're in danger?"

Nan Zhu: "I..."

“When you and Freya were attending the banquet, I was actually observing you. You and Freya are completely different.” Shi Yin shook her head with a smile: “Freya likes humans very much and gets along well with them, but you don’t care about them at all, or rather, you are indifferent.”

“You’re not sensitive to emotions. New feelings will be constantly romanticized by the depths of your brain. You need to learn to discern.” Shi Yin carefully chose her words: “Although I’m so outstanding, it’s only right that you admire me.”

Nanzhu: "..."

Freya: "Eh..."

The key point is clearly the last sentence...

"Also, I'd like you to explain something briefly." Shi Yin thought for a moment: "Why do you always look at me like that? As if I shouldn't be like that."

"Ah... how could that be? Because, because the weapon my sister uses is so rare." Freya hesitated for a moment, but still lied: "Is my sister's weapon a sword?"

"Oh, that? Of course not. For high-difficulty battles, I use a gun; it's more effective." Shi Yinxin explained seriously, "For low-level battles, I usually use a knife; it's more convenient."

"But ever since we met my sister, she's been using a sword," Freya said, confused.

"Because it's cool. As a citizen of Yanlong Kingdom, I have an obsession with swords." Shi Yin patted the sword in his arms and chuckled, "Being strong is a temporary thing, but being cool is a lifelong thing."

Freya: "Eh..."

Nanzhu: "Uh..."

“However, um…” Shi Yin paused for a moment, then looked up: “From now on, you should stay in the shelter and not come looking for me.”

"What?" Freya was the first to object. "Sister, we haven't been a burden these past two days. We even helped you cook, and you praised our cooking skills, right?"

These past few days, they've been cleaning up zombies, bringing ingredients along, cooking on the spot when they get tired, and going home for a good meal in the evening.

Shi Yin's cooking skills in this world are not very good, and just as Lao Tang said, she would make a complete mess of the ingredients. So Freya and Nan Zhu took over the cooking and also cleaned Shi Yin's room spotless.

They would chat about interesting things from all over the country while eating every day, and before setting off in the morning, they would sit together and have a cup of coffee or tea.

The atmosphere was clearly very nice...

"I'm sorry, I was selfish." Shi Yin lowered her head and smiled somewhat reluctantly. "Actually, I shouldn't have let you guys come with me in the first place, but... I was too lonely and wanted someone to keep me company for a while."

“You are all very strong and won’t die quickly. I also need to test you a little, which is why I brought you along.” Shi Yin took a deep breath. “However, those who are near me will all meet with misfortune.”

"What do you mean?" Nan Zhu didn't understand.

"Literally, the closer you get to me, the more likely you are to be affected by the disaster," Shi Yin explained. "The shelter here used to be very large. As long as I stayed there, there would be a disaster, and the population would drop sharply. Since I left them, they have gradually stabilized."

"When I first met you, it seemed that the person you were supposed to protect had died, the entire shelter had been wiped out, and only the two of you were left... You two are quite similar to me. I thought you were both cursed like me."

As she spoke, Shi Yin scratched her head, looking a little embarrassed.

"But these past two days I've noticed that the zombies are always coming for me, and they don't seem interested in you two. You guys seem a bit different from me, huh..."

Shi Yin's shy appearance is actually quite cute. She lowers her head, with soft wisps of hair sticking to her face, her eyes half-closed, and her ears a little red.

"Once I find Lucifer, this will all be over. You all hold out for me for one more day. Once I defeat Lucifer, it will all be over. So... don't see me again..."

"No, you're not a jinx!" Before Shi Yin could finish speaking, Nan Zhu retorted sharply, "You're a very strong and powerful person. If it weren't for you, how could humanity have survived?"

"That's not necessarily true. Humans are always so tenacious. Even if there's no me, someone else will appear. Or maybe it's because of me that someone else doesn't exist... After all, the appearance of someone with our strength will take up resources," Shi Yin said truthfully.

"I've devoured a lot of resources along the way, and it took me time and time again to become this strong. So many resources could have created many powerful humans, but I've consumed them all, which is why I'm so strong."

"Humans always manage to struggle to prove to the world that they are still alive when they are about to die... I have thought about becoming a zombie, but even if I did, I would probably still look for a way to become human again."

"I still... really want to live like a human being."
