Her two older sisters had already married. The eldest and second eldest sisters had married and moved to other places, living in the protected area of the big city center, while Shi Yin and her parents lived in a more remote place.
Those who couldn't run away had to be held back. The war knights were simply too big; every step they took was so large it was despair-inducing, not to mention their enormous hooves.
Shi Yin could only promise against her will that she would definitely come back alive and ask her parents to go find her sisters as soon as possible.
This was Shi Yin's first battle, and also her first encounter with Ye Shaoheng.
The first time, Tokine really struggled to adapt to battle. Even after watching countless hot-blooded manga and fantasizing about how powerful and majestic she was, Tokine was initially someone who didn't even dare to ride a drop tower.
Even so, Tokine knew that the best course of action was to attack the War Knight's eyes. She forced herself to fly and attacked with all the abilities she knew.
At that time, Shi Yin was still very weak, but compared to now and compared to the superhumans of that time, Shi Yin was a dark horse who rose to prominence. At that time, the number of superhumans who could fly could be counted on one hand, let alone Shi Yin who was able to injure the War Knight at that time.
The War Knight can make countless mistakes; it is thick-skinned, tough, and powerful. But Shi Yin only has one chance; every attack from the War Knight is fatal.
When the huge cleaver came crashing down on her head, Shi Yin thought she was going to die. But a streak of light deflected the cleaver, and it was Ye Shaoheng.
The process was actually quite simple: the passionate young man, carrying the honor of a soldier, worked together with Shi Yin in perfect harmony. However, because the enemy was too strong, he sacrificed himself to give Shi Yin a chance. Shi Yin fought with all her might to kill the War Knight, but Ye Shaoheng had already been turned into mincemeat.
The process was simple, but Shi Yin knew how thrilling it was.
Shi Yin couldn't forget Ye Yuansong, the black-haired major general whose hair turned white overnight, but she still forced herself to say that she didn't blame her and helped her find a husband, yet she shed tears in the back garden late at night.
She also couldn't forget Ye Shaoheng's firm belief in her, that if they succeeded this time, they would be brothers who would share life and death. But because she was a step too slow, this spirited young man was trampled to pieces by horse hooves right before her eyes.
What made Shi Yin even more suffocated was that Chu Ning had disappeared.
Along the way, there were not only attacks from zombies, but also ill-intentioned people. Due to the rebellion of his subordinates and the disintegration of society, Ye Yuansong, who no longer had much power, did his best to help her search, but to no avail.
At this point, Tokiwa still hadn't formed a battle group.
Rather than seeking the limelight, Shi Yin might prefer to be a strategist. She admires Shi Huaiyuan more for his calm demeanor, gentle manners, extensive knowledge, and profound understanding of history and current affairs.
She first found Shi Huaiyuan, and then, together with her father, found her two older sisters. The zombies were becoming increasingly violent, but fortunately, her two older sisters' homes were in relatively good condition.
But Shi Yin noticed something was wrong.
She met her second sister, but after only a few days, the place was attacked by a zombie horde.
The second sister's family, along with Shi Yin and Shi Huaiyuan, went to find the eldest sister. The journey was fraught with difficulties, and after finally meeting the eldest sister, they encountered a severe zombie horde.
It was as if bad luck was following them.
Later, Shi Yin realized that wherever she was, chaos followed.
Or rather, those chosen by the new world possess a unique attraction to zombies. Some zombies want to eat them to make themselves stronger, while others want to see their superiors, feeling that humans have captured them, and thus come to rescue them.
Furthermore, Tokine discovered that her special ability—"wanting"—could not overcome the conceptual gap.
She can learn all sorts of superpowers she desires, yet she cannot "want" the safety of those around her; she can learn time manipulation, yet no matter how she reverses time, she cannot save a person; she can learn the strongest healing ability, yet she cannot resurrect a dead person.
Too weak, need to become stronger.
As long as you can get more crystal cores, you can become stronger; as long as you have power, you can find your mother; as long as you control resources, you can build a power!
Besides, misfortune and fortune are intertwined. Although there are more zombies, each zombie has a crystal core. As long as you survive, you will make a fortune.
So when Tokine heard people admire her for killing the War Knight again, she decided to form a warband, and because of her fame, she easily expanded its size.
However, Shi Yin couldn't find Chu Ning.
In fact, Shi Yin later discovered that the farther away she was from her family, the safer they were.
Not only her family, but everyone was like this, to the point that Shi Yin became a lone wolf for a long time. However, the Yanlong Kingdom collapsed even faster. The more people she came into contact with, the longer the Yanlong Kingdom as a whole lasted.
This is what Abbot Huiming said: Shiyin's fate is directly proportional to the misfortunes of those around her, but inversely proportional to the fate of Yanlong Kingdom; the more dangerous she and those around her are, the more stable Yanlong Kingdom becomes.
Shi Yin established a battle group, but things did not get better.
The world back then was different from now. Now, people with superpowers have dedicated teams to guide and analyze them, the national army provides them with crystal cores to become stronger, and there is also physical and superpower training so that they can keep up with the accelerated pace of zombies.
But that wasn't the case back then. Humans couldn't keep up with the evolution of zombies at all, and each transformation of zombies was a fatal blow to humans.
The first Tokine lacked dominance and was practically helpless. Even among all the warbands, Tokine was one of the longest-lasting warbands, but it collapsed with the complete victory of the zombies.
Shi Yin's second brother-in-law went out to explore and never returned. The second sister died to protect her daughter, but her daughter was infected with the zombie virus. Shi Yin's eldest brother-in-law died to protect his wife, but the eldest sister was attacked and injured by zombies. The eldest sister's daughter was kidnapped while Shi Yin was busy.
The starving thugs demanded that Shi Yin hand over her supplies, and Shi Yin readily agreed. However, before Shi Yin could even prepare, the thugs and Shi Yin's older sister's daughter were overwhelmed by zombies.
After countless reincarnations, Shi Yin discovered that her family members were incredibly vulnerable when she was around. A single fall, a heavy snowfall, or a minor attack could cause them fatal harm.
In the end, Shi Huaiyuan also died.
When Shi Yin woke up exhausted, she saw Shi Huaiyuan shielding her tightly beneath him, with the low growls of zombies and the crackling of flames in her ears.
It's very noisy.
But Shi Yin felt that the world was so quiet.
No one will ever call her name again.
The last person who knew her also died.
That day, Shi Yin lay under the ruins, feeling the vibrations of the zombies stepping on the rubble, feeling the ruins constantly collapsing. She reached out and hugged Shi Huaiyuan, who was shielding her from the rubble, and cried.
She didn't want this outcome.
What do you want?
He wanted to win, he wanted to become stronger, he wanted to change the world, he wanted... to save his family.
This is impossible; history cannot be reversed.
