Chapter 101
Wenya remembered what Lingwu had said, so she raised her small face, her eyes sparkling. "Hmm! Aya remembers now, and she knows about the Tyndall effect. Does Lingwu want to see it? Then let's go out and look for it when the sun comes out, and let the zombie minions come along too!"
"What I want to show Aya is the ray of light at the end of the world."
As she spoke, a faint glimmer seemed to appear in her eyes, causing Wenya to momentarily lose her senses.
"Does Awu want to end the apocalypse?"
Lingwu nodded.
This time, Wenya's eyes flickered slightly. She didn't remain silent for long before firmly replying, "Awu will definitely see her!"
Wenya's unusual behavior was obvious, but Lingwu simply nodded without offering any explanation.
Her power still exists, so why would she sacrifice the chosen one to exchange for a future?
The rain, which was supposed to last for a month, stopped abruptly after three days.
However, Ling Wu stayed in the room for half a month before going out.
As soon as the door opened, a group of people with dark circles under their eyes were seen. Wenya and the other zombies looked unchanged, but their usually confused little red eyes had become bright and lively.
"Awu, what's wrong with you these past two weeks? You even set up a barrier, not letting us in. I haven't seen you at all. I miss you so much." Wenya's eyes were full of grievance.
Lingwu chuckled as she wiped away her tears before nodding to the crowd.
Seeing the worry etched on the faces of the group, Ling Wu pondered for a moment before speaking:
"Stopping the rainstorm took some of my powers, which made me a little tired, but don't worry, I've recovered now," she reassured me, her eyes gentle and without a trace of guilt.
But Wenya's tear fell, "Really?"
[I'm holding it in, but a grown man can't cry!]
[I can't hold it in anymore! I'm so heartbroken! How could Ah Wu lie to people like that? How many people would believe her?]
[...these corpses didn't believe it either.]
Ling Wu paused in wiping Wen Ya's tears, then added, "Superpowers do take some toll, but don't forget how powerful the recovery potion I developed is. Haven't you all experienced it?"
Ling Wu scanned them one by one, the faint curve of her lips seemingly capable of striking the depths of one's heart.
Wen Ya choked up, "But A Wu's medicine was so potent, and even after resting for so many days, there was still some damage. How much pain must she have been in back then?"
She couldn't help but feel her heart tighten.
Lan Hui had experienced the pain of having her powers exhausted, so A Wu directly rewrote the terrifying disasters of nature...
This time, Ling Wu didn't hear Lan Hui's thoughts. When she looked up, she saw that the blue-haired youth's eyes were full of fear and hesitation.
It was as if, after regaining a treasure, it almost lost it again.
When she saw another group of zombies regain their memories and show signs of worry like humans, Lingwu sighed softly.
They've all become smarter; they're definitely not so easy to fool anymore.
"Awu, why do you always have to think of others? Can't you... think of yourself just once?" Wenya bit her lip and looked at her.
Ling Wu was slightly taken aback, then smiled gently, "I'm thinking of myself. I want to see the first ray of dawn after the apocalypse ends."
Tears streamed down Wenya's face like beads as she pouted, "Isn't that all for others?"
The others in the room also strongly agreed with Wenya's words.
"Mmm." Lan Hui pursed her lips.
“But we also hope that Miss Ji will be safe.” The pink flower in Li Jinhuan’s hand was crushed, and the flower juice was squeezed out.
“Even zombies can’t drown…” Chi Ling said, lowering her eyes.
Ling Wu's gaze was earnest. "But among the others, there are you too."
Her voice was soft, and the faint scent of jasmine lingered around everyone's noses, then flowed into their hearts, transforming into a spring of rich fragrance.
But you are among those others too...
In short, it strikes right at the heart of people's hearts.
Ling Wu looked at the people in front of her, a smile spreading across her lips. "The torrential rain and floods are just the first stage. There will be earthquakes, tsunamis, sandstorms, tornadoes... However, before the earthquake strikes, I will end this apocalypse and take you to see the first ray of dawn after the apocalypse."
"I'll take you...to see the shape of light."
She pointed out the window, where the bright sunshine resembled the rising sun in the sky.
“Awu…”
Wenya finally gave up struggling and threw herself into Lingwu's arms.
She hugged Lingwu tightly, tears streaming silently down her face, soaking her clothes.
She will take Awu to see it!
Upon learning that Ling Wu was unharmed, all the protected cities sent congratulatory messages.
The zombies regained their memories within half a month. Those who found their relatives reunited with their families, while those who did not quietly returned to the vicinity of the hotel without complaining.
It's not just because the zombies are obedient, but also because they don't have time to complain!
I don't know how many times I've refused the flowers and supplies they've given me, but they still manage to stuff them all over my body whenever they see an opportunity!
When Lingwu came downstairs, she saw this scene.
The zombies' clothes were stuffed with flowers and supplies, and some even had strings of garlic cloves tied around their necks.
"Ms. Ji! Thank you!"
"Ms. Ji, thank you so much!"
"Without you, I wouldn't have been able to find my daughter!"
"Miss Ji, if you would like, I hope you can accept this. It's just a small token of my appreciation..."
"Miss Ji, my desserts are absolutely amazing!"
"..."
After exclaiming, "Miss Ji, you are my goddess!", silence fell.
Ling Wu took this opportunity to nod to everyone, declining their offers of help, and then one by one, they were about to kneel down.
Lingwu said helplessly, "I said, do not kneel."
After the deity murmured.
They were indeed unable to resist the power of their words to become law, but their eyes shone with an astonishing brightness!
"Miss Ji is the first person to survive the apocalypse!"
They all nodded, but Wenya, who was a step behind, was stunned by what he said.
Among the crowd, a human couple had tears welling up in their eyes when they saw Ling Wu, but after Ling Wu returned their gaze, they silently lowered their heads, and crystal tears rolled down their cheeks.
Ling Wu withdrew her gaze, her expression calm as if the couple were complete strangers.
Upon returning, they found Li Jinhuan and Lan Hui at the laboratory entrance.
"Awu, could you give me some potions to enhance my superpowers?"
"Miss Ji, could you give me some potions to enhance my supernatural abilities?"
The two spoke in unison, and Lingwu glanced sideways at Wenya.
Wen Ya tried to smooth things over, saying, "The ability users have improved very quickly since A Wu provided the potion. The two of them... don't want to be outdone!"
"Is that so?" Ling Wu wasn't buying it and stared at the two of them, asking in return.
"Yes!"
My sister died because of me, and I don't want to go through that again.
Ling Wu did not open the laboratory door. There was still no moon in the night sky, but the dazzling light of the crystal chandelier made them gradually look away.
"You all know?" Ling Wu asked bluntly.
I knew the Zombie King would die, and I knew the number one human with superpowers would also die.
They lowered their eyelashes and remained silent, pursing their lips.
Li Jinhuan also withdrew the pink flower from his hand.
Wenya held Lingwu's hand again, "Awu..."
"You can't catch me." She spoke in the gentlest of voices, words that pierced everyone's hearts.
Ling Wu sighed softly, "An earthquake will occur in half a month. You won't have enough time. Moreover, only half a month has passed since I last used my power. If I use it again, the rest period will be too short, and I will die."
"Instead of doing this, why don't you accompany me to explore the Central Continent and see this world that is despised by everyone yet contains everyone's hope?
She spoke slowly, yet no one could find a reason to refute her.
It's only the first year of the apocalypse, and her superpowers have already reached this level without ever using any drugs.
It's like...
They were born to end this apocalypse.
After thinking it through, Wenya tugged at Lingwu's sleeve, "Okay, Aya will go with Awu then."
Aya and Awu will be together forever, from birth to death.
