Lonely and withered yellow spread across the earth, the sunlight was obscured by dark clouds, and dark red and dark blue bloodstains could be seen everywhere.
In the devastated ruins, the former prosperity is no longer visible. Dilapidated buildings are everywhere. The transmission towers have long since decayed along with the city, and there is no trace of the wires anymore.
In the lifeless silence, all traces of human civilization seemed to disappear with the whimpering of the cold wind.
"call out--"
As the sound of wind continued to blow, a figure quickly moved through the ruins.
The dark yellow combat uniform was already covered with patches of the same color, and seemed to blend in with the surrounding environment. The human female had a stern expression. The moment she clenched her fists, the air around her was instantly compressed, and wind blades shot out from her palms like knives, with a faint blue halo, and each one accurately hit a monster with scarlet eyes.
In a place where the monsters cannot see, a translucent glass screen is floating in front of Yan Chaochao's eyes, helping her monitor the movements of other monsters around her in real time and calculate the number of monsters she has killed.
123, 125...
On the monitoring screen, the red dots representing monsters within 200 meters have disappeared. Yan Chaochao loosened his fingers slightly, feeling the energy almost reaching the bottom, and prepared to return to the base.
Yan Chaochao had just taken two steps when his sixth sense began to sound the alarm frantically, and a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly flashed behind the glass window of the ruins!
monster!
Yan Chaochao's eyes were bloodshot, and a strong sense of crisis gripped her heart in an instant.
The moment the monster moved, a faint blue halo appeared in Yan Chaochao's palm.
Just as the dark blue light circle hit the terrifying monster, before Yan Chaochao could even raise her lips, a creepy sound reached her ears, subtle yet clear. The sharp pain in her heart caused her pupils to split open instantly, and as blood gushed out, everything around her became blurry...
***
In the silent ward, all you can see is a glaring paleness.
A white bed, a white ceiling, white walls... and a pale-faced girl on the bed.
Yan Chaochao woke up under the snow-white light, her head aching as if it was about to split open, as if a scalpel was rubbing against her nerves repeatedly, carrying out a torture with no end in sight.
It hurts! It hurts so much!
The intense pain in her brain made Yan Chaochao curl up her body and subconsciously bite her lips. In just a few seconds, her hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her cheeks. She could only open her mouth weakly and gasp.
It wasn't until the pain subsided a little that Yan Chaochao realized something was wrong.
Although her memory of her death was hazy, she clearly remembered that the monster's sharp claws had pierced her heart. With such a fatal injury, even if the base's most powerful healing psychic had arrived, there would have been no chance of her surviving.
But at this moment, she could feel her heart beating regularly in her chest with vigorous vitality.
No! That's not right!
Yan Chaozhao narrowed his eyes slightly, pricked up his ears, and listened to the movement outside.
In the world many years after the crisis broke out, human civilization has long been destroyed. In order to avoid attacks by monster waves, the base is always silent and boring.
But at this moment, even through the obstacles, Yan Chaochao could still clearly hear the sounds outside.
The cries of street vendors, the honking of car horns, the laughter of pedestrians chatting, the sounds coming from large-screen advertisements...
The complex and diverse voices come together to weave an unattainable dream.
Could it be that she encountered a rare illusion-type monster and was currently in the monster's dream?
But illusion-type monsters only create nightmares. I have never heard of any illusion-type monster that can create a beautiful dream that makes humans never wake up.
Just when Yan Chaochao was in doubt, there was a loud "bang" and the door of the ward was pushed open rudely.
Yan Chaozhao subconsciously frowned, looking towards the door with vigilance in his eyes.
The short and fat middle-aged man, with his double chin and belly shaking, walked to Yan Chaochao's bedside, looking down at Yan Chaochao with impatience and disgust in his eyes.
But the moment he met Yan Chaochao's eyes, the short and fat middle-aged man suddenly took a step back. He actually felt as if he was being stared at by a wild beast. The hairs on his body stood up in an instant and cold sweat broke out on his back.
The next moment, the short and fat middle-aged man's face suddenly turned ugly.
Damn it!
He was actually scared by this cowardly vase!
The sudden feeling of shame made the short and fat middle-aged man's face look like a paint palette had been overturned, turning blue and white, and finally stopped at anger.
"Yan Chaochao, did a pig eat your brain? Even a pig is smarter than you! You've been in the industry for so many years, but you haven't had a decent role. You finally got a supporting role, and you fell straight off the wire! I really don't know what sins I committed in my previous life. I've never worked with an artist as unlucky as you..."
But at this moment, Yan Chaochao had no intention of paying any attention to the short and fat man who was chattering non-stop.
Just now, a sudden dizziness hit Yan Chaochao's mind, causing her body to shake uncontrollably. She subconsciously twisted the sheets.
Strange fragments of memory suddenly appeared in her mind.
The memory that suddenly appeared was fragmented and contained very little information, with only a small amount related to the original owner of this body.
But this information is enough for Yan Chaochao to understand the current situation.
If she guessed correctly, she was facing a special situation now—
Travel through time.
The original owner of this body was also named Yan Chaozhao, a female entertainer who shared the same name and surname as her. She had been unlucky since her debut, and after three years, she hadn't even had a single name or role. She was even entangled in a scandal with a top star, leading netizens to believe she was seducing the male star, earning her the name of a vixen, a name reviled by the entire internet.
And now the person standing in front of her hospital bed and cursing at her is none other than this body's agent, Sun Ding.
Just as Yan Chaochao was frowning and sorting out the situation, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the girl in a black windbreaker who appeared at the door saw this scene.
The girl with long hair was so thin that she seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind. She was leaning on the bed with a pale face. The blue veins could be vaguely seen on the back of her hand holding the sheet. At this moment, her brows were slightly frowned, and her lips were pale, just like her favorite glass doll.
Beautiful, but fragile.
The middle-aged man standing in front of her hospital bed, his face full of flesh, glared and cursed with extremely unpleasant words: "You are so cheap! You use all your acting skills to seduce men, right? Look at that cheap look on your face, I don't know how many men have..."
The girl in the windbreaker at the door couldn't bear it any longer and spoke in a deep voice.
“That’s enough!”
Sun Ding was suddenly interrupted, and his expression instantly darkened. He turned to look at the uninvited guest at the door. The moment his eyes met, Sun Ding's heart skipped a beat.
The young girl at the door was wearing a dark trench coat and had a thin figure. Although she was not tall, she exuded an oppressive aura, and her whole body was full of classic lines of luxury brands.
Behind the girl in the windbreaker, two men stood on the left and right. One wore gold-rimmed glasses, with a shrewd look in his eyes; the other, even in a suit, could not hide his muscular body, vaguely showing a protective posture, and it was obvious that he was a bodyguard.
Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, Sun Ding was no fool without any sense. Instead, he had developed the ability to adapt to the changing circumstances. The girl in the windbreaker who suddenly appeared at the door was obviously rich or noble, and was not to be messed with easily.
In just a few seconds, Sun Ding's expression changed several times, and finally stopped at a strange expression that was half flattering and half tentative: "You are..."
The girl in the windbreaker kept her eyes on Yan Chaochao until she heard these words, then she raised her eyes slightly: "You don't need to know who I am. Now, I want to talk to... Yan Chaochao alone for a while. Please ask this gentleman to leave."
After saying the last sentence, the girl in the windbreaker turned her head to look at the bodyguard in a suit on her right.
After Sun Ding was escorted out by the bodyguard, the man with gold-rimmed glasses also left the ward and closed the door. For a moment, only Yan Chaochao and the girl in the windbreaker who had suddenly appeared were left in the ward.
When Yan Chaochao was looking at the girl in the windbreaker, the girl in the windbreaker was also looking at her.
Yan Xixi looked at the face that was almost exactly the same as her adoptive mother's when she was young, and for a moment she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.
Before this, Yan Xixi had a dream.
She dreamed she was a cannon fodder in a novel. In the book, she wasn't the real daughter of the Yan family, but a fake daughter who had usurped the identity of the real Yan family daughter. After the real daughter was found, a series of bloody plots unfolded, with sisters fighting each other. Ultimately, the Yan family went bankrupt, and she was framed and imprisoned.
But the real daughter Yan Chaochao is not the protagonist of this novel, but only a supporting female role in the novel.
This is a male-oriented novel titled "Dominating the Entertainment Circle with Beautiful Women Like Clouds" written by Long Aotian.
In the novel, the male protagonist Cheng Aotian is the absolute protagonist of the novel. He started as an unknown trainee and became an instant hit through a talent show. Since then, he has been smooth sailing, fighting monsters and upgrading in the entertainment industry. In just a few years, he reached the pinnacle of the entertainment industry. There are countless beauties around him. Even after he was with the heroine Shen Yunran, he was always surrounded by beautiful women.
The real daughter, Yan Chaochao, is just an 18th-tier female supporting role in the novel who tried to flirt with the male protagonist but failed. She was entangled with the male protagonist Cheng Aotian, and eventually angered Cheng Aotian. Not only did she completely lose her place in the entertainment industry, but even the Yan family was jointly suppressed by Cheng Aotian and his confidante, and eventually went bankrupt.
After Yan Xixi had this dream, although she didn't take it to heart, she still secretly did a paternity test.
The test results came out very quickly, and it was found that she had no blood relationship with her parents, with whom she had lived for more than 20 years.
After getting the results, Yan Xixi couldn't sleep all night, and finally gave the results to her parents. Yan's parents were already on their way back, and Yan Xixi also received the news that Yan Chaochao had an accident on the set and was hospitalized, so she hurried to the hospital.
In the dream, there was Yan Chaochao’s ferocious face, and the pale and thin girl lying on the hospital bed in front of him.
The images kept switching in Yan Xixi's mind, making her reason and thoughts into a mess.
But no matter what, Yan Chaochao is the biological daughter of Yan's parents, and this will not change.
"Yan Chaochao..." Yan Xixi said with a complicated expression, "I might know who your biological parents are."
She said, "I know you're not going to believe this, but I can take you for a paternity test."
Yan Chaochao was originally skeptical, but when she met Yan Xixi's gaze, she suddenly changed her mind.
Her intuition told her that the girl who suddenly appeared had no ill intentions towards her.
Her intuition had saved her life countless times in the critical moments of the apocalypse.
This time, Yan Chaochao was also prepared to trust her intuition.
***
After Yan Chaochao nodded in agreement, Yan Xixi took Yan Chaochao to do a paternity test.
The paternity test results came out very quickly and I received the results that evening.
Yan Chaochao is the biological daughter of Yan's parents.
After getting the results, Yan Xixi breathed a sigh of relief, unable to tell whether she felt relieved or disappointed.
Just thinking about the plot she saw in the novel, Yan Xixi felt that she needed to give Yan Chaochao a few words of advice before she went home.
"Your parents are very good people. They didn't know you were out there before, so they didn't come looking for you. But please believe me, they will love you very much and treat you very, very well. You can live a smooth life and do whatever legal things you want, but remember not to mess with difficult people, like... Cheng Aotian."
Cheng Aotian?
When Yan Chaochao heard the name, he thought about it for a moment and recalled it from his memory.
"Oh, Yan Chaochao's ex-boyfriend."
Yan Xixi nodded subconsciously, "Yes, Yan Chaochao's former..." Halfway through her words, Yan Xixi reacted, suddenly turned her head, and looked at Yan Chaochao in astonishment with a calm expression.
"Ex-boyfriend?!"
