Li Chen and Yan Ze were so busy getting married to Xu Nian that they could only see each other once every two weeks.
One was busy expanding and managing the base, while the other was busy clearing out zombies from the cities surrounding the base.
Xu Nian, on the other hand, had a lot of free time. She would often go to the research institute to discuss new drugs and experimental materials with everyone.
A year after the apocalypse, the base has initially stabilized, but a zombie king has evolved among the zombies. It gathers a horde of zombies and begins to attack human settlements.
Two years after the apocalypse, the base further accepted compatriots from all over the world, building a city of hope for humanity, and at the same time achieving superhuman evolution for all its members.
In order to stabilize public sentiment, Xu Nian, Li Chen, and Yan Ze were brought to the forefront.
One is a scientific genius, a hope for the end of the world.
One is a wise leader, a pillar of strength in the face of the apocalypse.
One is a zombie nemesis, a strangler in the apocalypse.
When Xu Nian learned that Li Chen had hung her up to encourage everyone in the base, she realized at that moment how heavy the weight on her shoulders was.
"Don't put too much pressure on Niannian. Everything will remain the same. You just need to focus on your research. My brother and I will take care of the rest." Li Chen's words of comfort did not make Xu Nian relax. Instead, she felt that she had not done enough.
Everyone is working hard, so she can't fall behind!
Three years into the apocalypse, the battle against the zombie king has begun. Xu Nian spends all her time in the research institute researching various weapons and drugs that are deadly to zombies.
Four years after the apocalypse, after a year of tireless efforts, the zombie army shows signs of being defeated by humans.
But after two years of fighting, the base's supplies began to run out.
With zombies besieging them from the outside and huge hidden dangers lurking inside, Li Chen's brows were furrowed every day.
Seeing this, Xu Nian handed Yuanbao to Li Chen, and under Li Chen's puzzled gaze, she explained what Yuanbao had done.
Thanks to Yuanbao's contribution of stored supplies, the base was saved from danger, and Li Chen's gaze toward Yuanbao finally changed.
They went from disliking it to accepting having such a pet in their home.
Five years after the apocalypse, Yan Ze led the base's top superhumans into a final battle against the zombie king.
On this day, the Zombie King was successfully killed by Yan Ze and others, but he was also seriously injured, with a large hole torn in his chest by the Zombie King.
Xu Nian's use of cell regeneration fluid was ineffective; it was the zombie king's zombie poison, which was damaging Yan Ze's body and preventing his cells from regenerating and recovering.
"Niannian, can you forgive me?" Yan Ze wanted to hold Xu Nian's hand, but when he saw that his hands were covered in blood, he had no choice but to pull his hand back.
"I forgave you a long time ago." Xu Nian isn't made of stone; after all these years, the resentment from back then has long since disappeared.
"That's good, Niannian. I really love you. I did that back then because I was afraid of losing you. After you got together with Li Chen, I understood why I was afraid." Yan Ze smiled bitterly. It turned out that he had long foreseen that if he didn't do something, he would never have the chance to stand by her side in this life.
She would choose Li Chen the moment she saw him, even if he looked exactly like Li Chen, because he was Li Chen!
"Yan Ze, stop talking, I'll try to save you." Xu Nian had given Yan Ze all the life-saving medicine she could, but it didn't work. The bleeding wouldn't stop, and he was losing blood rapidly.
He died when the blood loss reached a certain point.
"Yuanbao, Yuanbao." Xu Nian looked around anxiously.
"Host, I'm here." Yuanbao pushed through the crowd and finally made it through.
"Please save him! Isn't he the male lead? Why is he dying?" Xu Nian wanted to cry, but this was definitely not the time to shed tears.
"Host, the apocalypse is almost over, the male lead is useless now." It's cruel, but that's the truth.
"What?" Xu Nian's lips trembled. Just because Yan Ze was useless, did that mean he should die?
"Does the host want to save him?" Yuanbao lay down next to Yan Ze and twitched its ears.
"Yes, is there any medicine that can save a life?" Xu Nian gritted her teeth and decided to use her points to save Yan Ze.
"The Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill costs ten thousand. Are you sure you want to buy it for the male lead?" Yuanbao stood up and asked seriously.
"Buy it, ten thousand points it is." Xu Nian held Yan Ze's hand, inwardly mocking herself for not being hard-hearted enough, ten thousand points just vanished like that.
But she didn't want this fool in front of her to lose too badly.
She should cherish someone who is willing to risk their life for her.
"Host, purchase one Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, deducting 10,000 points." Yuanbao waved its claw, and a pill appeared in Xu Nian's hand.
"Yan Ze, open your mouth."
Yan Ze subconsciously opened his mouth, and the next second a strange fragrance spread in his mouth. Before he could do anything, a liquid entered his body through his throat.
A warm feeling spread from the inside of his body to every part of his body, and to everyone's surprise, the hole in Yan Ze's chest was visibly repaired.
"Dr. Xu, what kind of medicine is this?"
"Dr. Xu, do you still have this? Can you save me?"
"Dr. Xu, my husband is dying. Can you save him?"
Surrounded by cries for help, Xu Nian stood up and bowed to everyone, saying, "This medicine is a family heirloom, and there is only one left. I cannot save everyone. I am very sorry. I have failed everyone's high expectations. I will resign from my position as director of the research institute."
What?! Dr. Xu, you're resigning?
"Dr. Xu, you don't need to blame yourself. It's not your fault that you couldn't save him."
"Dr. Xu, ...!"
Everyone said a lot, but Xu Nian remained firm in her stance.
After bringing Yan Ze back to the villa, Xu Nian asked him if he was willing to give up everything he had now and come with her.
Yan Ze agreed without hesitation.
When Li Chen returned after finishing his work at the base, his wife and his own brother were gone, leaving him only a letter.
After reading the letter, Li Chen kicked the table away, yelling, "You heartless bastard, you didn't even take him with you when you left!"
Within the next ten days, Li Chen handed over the relevant matters within the base to the relevant departments and then disappeared without a trace.
Xu Nian leads Yan Ze and Yuan Bao to explore this brand new world.
It took Li Chen quite a bit of effort to find the two of them, and he started speaking in a sarcastic tone as soon as he saw them.
Xu Nian admitted her mistake, but Yan Ze's expression was incredibly provocative, practically screaming "Come and hit me!"
"Yan Ze, I'm going to fight you to the death!" Li Chen roared.
"I'm your brother, can't you have some manners? You're making a fool of yourself in front of Niannian." Yan Ze smiled calmly.
"Niannian has been deceived by you over the past few years. You are a heartless person!" Li Chen wished he could spit on Yan Ze's face.
"Likewise." Yan Ze felt a burning hatred whenever he thought about how Li Chen used his affected and pretentious methods to make Xu Nian obey him.
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless.
Why wasn't he the first to realize that Xu Nian was falling for that kind of thing?
