Ye Shaoheng stared blankly at his companions who were killing each other.
Not only were his own companions killing each other, but the zombies who rose from the ruins around him also began to kill one another.
This time, the zombie seemed to be at a very high level from the start; its body could smash through broken walls and leave deep marks on the walls with a single scratch.
Those superhumans who were lying on the ground, almost dead, got up again and became even more ferocious and bloodthirsty after turning into zombies, attacking indiscriminately.
Ye Shaoheng and Qingyu stared at each other for a full five seconds before Ye Shaoheng was suddenly tackled to the ground.
The zombified Qingyu has been enhanced in all aspects, and its strength has increased more than three times compared to before.
Ye Shaoheng instinctively hugged the little girl, and Qingyu's sharp teeth made a grating sound as they struck the armor.
He must have cried.
Lying on the ground, warm, wet liquid slid from my temples into my hair.
It's itchy.
But for some reason, at this moment, Ye Shaoheng felt a dull, sharp pain in his heart, as if he were numb.
Although here, those who become monsters have three times the strength they had in life, it's nothing more than a drop in the ocean for Ye Shaoheng.
Ye Shaoheng easily grabbed its neck, and with a slight "crack" sound, the monster instantly lost all its strength and collapsed to the side.
"You are not Qingyu, you are a monster now." Ye Shaoheng looked at the monster that had lost its breath, gently placed it aside, and then looked at the little girl with her eyes closed in his arms.
fine.
There's one left.
Ye Shaoheng had just protected the little girl very well, and she hadn't been hurt at all.
"It's alright, it's alright." Ye Shaoheng held the little girl, sobbing uncontrollably.
When Shi Yin's voice came, Ye Shaoheng thought it was his hallucination.
Ye Shaoheng was still holding the little girl in his arms. When he turned around, he found Shi Yin standing behind him, as if in a dream.
Shi Yin looked somewhat disheveled, as if she had rushed over and was covered in dust. She had some obvious injuries on her body, which made Ye Shaoheng swallow back many of the questions he was about to ask.
"Let go, let's leave here." Shi Yin's voice was faint, tinged with a forced weariness.
"Sister Yin, I rescued a little girl." Ye Shaoheng showed the little girl in his arms to Shi Yin: "She wasn't injured, she was just asleep, and she's even awakened some special abilities..."
Ye Shaoheng was wearing armor, so Shi Yin couldn't see his face clearly.
But Ye Shaoheng's voice trembled slightly as he carefully displayed the treasure in his arms, like a child trying to please his parents by showing off a gift he had spent a long time making, full of anticipation and hope.
The vulnerability beneath her strength made Shi Yin hesitate for a moment.
"Ye Shaoheng." Shi Yin interrupted Ye Shaoheng calmly: "The sound emitted by smashing the Doomsday Horn is to summon zombies from all over the world. Superpowered people and zombies are the same kind of thing, except that superpowered people are suppressed by human consciousness."
"Those with superpowers below grade B have absolutely no chance of resisting; their berserk factor will instantly turn them into madmen."
Therefore, the little girl who had just awakened was completely unable to resist; she was already a zombie.
"How could that be, Sister Yin? Look." Ye Shaoheng forced a smile: "Look, she's not injured at all, she's just asleep."
I dug through the rubble for a long time, losing so many companions, and only managed to save one person with great difficulty...
Ye Shaoheng was speechless and dared not think any further. He only felt cold all over and his fingertips were icy.
Whether to verify Shi Yin's words or not, the little girl slowly opened her eyes. Her unfocused, cloudy eyes were not as clear as those of a human, but rather had a crimson shimmering within them.
The little girl's tattered clothes revealed her fair belly, but it seemed as if some force inside was causing her belly to swell continuously. The violent force condensed and exploded in less than a second.
Time stood still; the flow of time for everything slowed down countless times.
It was that familiar feeling; my brain was functioning normally, and the flow of time and the speed of movement around me seemed to slow down considerably.
When Ye Shaoheng saw Shi Yin approaching, she grabbed his armor and pulled him away. The girl in his arms also reversed time and quickly returned to normal. Shi Yin grabbed her and threw her away, ending her life with a single shot.
Blood blurred the glasses on his armor; at this moment, Ye Shaoheng didn't know whether he was in despair or calm.
It turns out, nothing has changed.
He can't do anything.
Ye Shaoheng felt himself being lifted into the air; Shi Yin had pulled him up and they were flying. All around, artillery fire was launched like fireworks, instantly covering the entire safe zone.
Indiscriminate firing.
"Sister Yin, you did this on purpose, didn't you?" Ye Shaoheng's voice was hoarse: "You didn't let me lead the team, you sent people below B-level here, you already knew that ability users below B-level would turn into zombies."
Shi Yin: "Mm."
Therefore, it's better to let those with abilities below level B encounter the zombie horde, let them fight each other to reduce their numbers, and then use artillery fire to mop up the rear.
The sheer number of artillery pieces was overwhelming; it was impossible to proceed without prior preparation. In safe zone B, these superhumans were still putting up a fierce resistance, unaware that they had long been abandoned.
“Back then, I said that safe zone B could accommodate more people, and that the mountains and vegetation were a bit too unsafe. I asked if we should send someone to clear them, but you refused.” Ye Shaoheng’s vision blurred: “So, from the very beginning, they were abandoned.”
The location of safe zone B is not actually remote; it's near the capital city, and you can vaguely see the doomsday beacon if you look up.
However, there are two mountains nearby, where vegetation is very lush when plants grow wildly, and the distance between safe zone B and nearby safe zones is quite far, making it difficult to provide support if something happens.
When Ye Shaoheng first discovered this, he suggested expanding Safe Zone B or relocating some residents. After all, in the post-apocalyptic China, the government had the authority to allocate housing for residents, and Safe Zone B had the fewest people. Expanding the area, clearing away vegetation, and bringing in more people would alleviate the pressure.
We should either give up on this place, since there are many rocks here, and an earthquake would cause a lot of trouble.
Shi Yin refused.
This is bait that has been sitting for a long time.
Only he, foolishly believing he was saving the world, came here with the superhumans hoping to lead everyone home, unaware that this was a battle from which no one could return.
"Why did you save me?" Ye Shaoheng stared blankly at the ruins below. Everything had been reduced to ashes by the artillery fire, and the pungent smell could be smelled in the air.
It's so quiet.
Just like his heart.
"...You're still useful." Shi Yin glanced at Ye Shaoheng in her hand: "If he were just blown up by a little girl, it would be too worthless."
Ye Shaoheng: "..."
Ye Shaoheng remained silent for an unknown period of time before finally uttering a single word amidst the desolation of the ruins.
"good."
