"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...
Now, Shi Yin also has this feeling. She hasn't even fully revealed her abilities yet, but Nan Zhu has deduced the whole process based on the few words she has spoken and the two times she has seen the superpower.
Even though theory and practice differ and combining them is not so simple, with a theoretical foundation, practice will only be faster and smoother.
Unfortunately, Nan Zhu doesn't seem to have any outstanding abilities. Either his special abilities are too ordinary to be of any help, or he doesn't have any special abilities at all.
Otherwise, given the country's severe shortage of talent, how could they not have brought him in to do manual labor? It's impossible that Shi Yin hadn't heard anything about Nan Zhu.
Shi Yin hadn't expected that kicking out those parasites earlier or later would be the key to triggering certain characters.
It's like playing a game, saving your progress hundreds of times, almost finishing the game, and then suddenly discovering a hidden item.
"You're quite perceptive. Based on what you've said these past two days, it's enough for me to kill you." Shi Yin narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Nan Zhu closely. "Aren't you afraid of me?"
“But I think Miss needs a smart and bold helper, so that she won’t hold you back and won’t be afraid to speak up because of power… right?” Feeling the hand on her neck suddenly tighten, Nan Zhu just leaned against the wall without resisting at all.
"My identity, whether I will betray you, whether there's anything suspicious... to you, none of that matters." The air grew thinner, and a blush rose on Nan Zhu's fair cheeks. "I'm right beside you; you could take my life with a mere thought. My... life is more valuable..."
"Cough cough... cough cough cough!"
Shi Yin suddenly let go, and Nan Zhu staggered and leaned against the wall, coughing up tears of irrationality. Her long hair clung to her cheeks, and although she looked somewhat disheveled, she possessed a kind of messy beauty.
"Interesting, I didn't expect to get new equipment." Shi Yin flicked her right hand: "Then let's follow along."
Shi Yin turned around again, and Nan Zhu vaguely saw that the surrounding space seemed to blur for a moment.
Yu Guangzhong and Nan Zhu saw a bird on the tree to the right of the stairwell window. With just one glance, Nan Zhu's expression changed. He was used to observing the surrounding environment when he arrived at a new place. The bird was clearly on the tree to the left.
Nan Zhu suddenly remembered that Shi Yin had touched the wall before she spoke to him. Could it be that he had already fallen into Shi Yin's memory space at that time?
Nan Zhu has always been very confident in his intuition. Like the Chief, he had a feeling the moment he saw Shi Yin that it was best not to offend this woman, and that she was definitely his greatest reliance.
Normally, Nan Zhu would immediately sense danger or ill intentions from someone, but just now, he felt nothing at all; he had truly escaped death.
If he had really misbehaved and didn't align with Tokito's wishes, he really would have died.
"Shiyin, that's my name," Shiyin said as she walked quickly inside.
“We’ll play a tune here and there, and there’s no need to worry about people from the north and south not knowing our music.” Nan Zhu straightened his suit and quickly followed.
Shi Yin glanced back at Nan Zhu: "It prefers warm climates, is drought-resistant, cold-resistant, and tolerant of poor soil... It is poisonous."
Nan Zhu simply smiled and did not refute.
The sound of chains grew closer, and the missing diplomat was now right in front of them.
At this moment, the man was chained to the stairs, clearly acting on someone's orders. He was a handsome man with short hair that was soaked with sweat. Although the veins on his face were bulging in pain, his regular features were still visible.
The man was well-proportioned, though his suit was torn, as if he had rubbed himself on the ground in extreme pain, and his exposed skin had mottled bluish-gray marks.
"Waaah—"
"No, don't come any closer... Ughhhh..."
"Song Yu! Calm down!" Someone tried to help the diplomat named Song Yu, but was held down by his companion.
"It hurts! I can't breathe..." Song Yu clutched her head and rolled desperately on the ground, looking genuinely in pain, and couldn't help but hit her head with the iron chain.
“Song Yu is an excellent diplomat who has secured many benefits for the Yanlong Kingdom in international negotiations,” Nan Zhu whispered, following behind Shi Yin.
“I know.” Shi Yin paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “He was my partner.”
Nan Zhu was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Song Yu and Shi Yin had worked together before. However, Shi Yin's face remained expressionless, as if she didn't know him at all. Nan Zhu couldn't even detect any emotional fluctuations in Shi Yin.
"This guy always dies young, and he always seems to die earlier than the last time." A katana appeared out of thin air on the left side of Shi Yin's waist. Shi Yin pressed the scabbard with her left hand and gripped the hilt with her right hand, then slowly stepped forward.
“In the more than three hundred rebirths I’ve had with them, you’ve died more than two hundred times in different ways. It really is… destiny.” Shi Yin murmured softly, “There are some people that I can’t save no matter what. This is my fate.”
"Sister Yin!" Ye Shaoheng rushed forward. He finally came to his senses and ran to catch up with Shi Yin: "I didn't dare let my people get close. I hurriedly wrapped him up with chains. He seems to be out of control."
“He’s truly beyond saving.” Shi Yin took a deep breath: “Even if we hold out until the meteorite lands, he’ll still be among the first zombies, unable to possess superpowers… and unable to become an ordinary person.”
Before the radiation interference caused by the meteorite landing, no one will have superpowers. Everyone will be forced to stay at home, and those who are lucky will be able to stockpile goods and find supplies.
In her first life, Shi Yin was lucky. She lived in a dormitory, and everyone in her dormitory was a glutton. They had two boxes of all kinds of food, such as instant noodles, self-heating hot pot, sour soup noodles, and snow skin rolls, as well as various snacks.
Jiang Ning, in particular, had hidden a pot and bought ingredients, and occasionally they would cook hot pot behind the dormitory supervisor's back.
Jiang Ning and Shi Yin are both experts in free fighting. Jiang Ning knows Jeet Kune Do, and Shi Yin knows Muay Thai. The two often fight in the ring and neither is willing to admit defeat to the other. Cheng Sui is also very skilled with electronic products and owns five different models of drones.
As for Wen Jinxue, this little girl is a mascot; she's responsible for making everyone happy.
Thus, their dormitory unexpectedly formed a perfect combination in the apocalypse, managing to survive until the arrival of superpowers six months later.
This is a turning point in the apocalypse; the warm-up period has finally passed, and we've entered the initial stage.
Meteorites can cause three situations.
First, it intensifies the zombie virus in some people, causing the latent virus in some people's bodies to break out rapidly.
Second, some people underwent mutations and gained superpowers.
Third, some people overcame the zombie virus in their bodies without gaining any special abilities or becoming zombies, but the reason is unknown. Some people studied ordinary people and found that there were no antibodies similar to those that could be used to make serum.
Song Yu was once chosen by Shi Yin to be her secretary. They got along very well for six months. The problem arose after six months when Shi Yin could not save him no matter what she did.
