Chapter 134 Doomsday 31 Give You Back Your Life
The time it takes for this plot line to reach the end is neither long nor short.
After meeting Meng Jingtang that day, he didn't see him for a long time.
During this period, Xie Zeyu was the one who actively pursued Lu Huai. He not only worked with him on duty and showed his face in front of him, but also showed his kindness to Lu Huai many times.
However, Lu Huai's clear rejection of his fierce offensive seemed to discourage this man who seemed to be invincible with this trick, and he began to think about giving up the mission.
In addition to the strategy, the Samsara Company where Lu Huai works also happens to have a sub-task of capturing the escape system, and the corresponding points are very generous.
But the other party was not as obviously hostile to him as he had been before, so Lu Huai did not want to kill him and turned a blind eye to him.
But the moment that person took the initiative to hold his system in front of him and nervously asked him, "Are you not from this world either?", it was no longer up to him and 0359 to decide.
His every word and action is under the control of the Lord God. Once sensitive information is captured, the auditor will follow the sound and take action.
Lu Huai only remembered that when Xie Zeyu's "wild" system was stripped away, his expression seemed like joy and pain for a moment. His pair of eyes as dark as ink stared at him, as if he wanted to say something but stopped, as if he was afraid that he would never see him again.
He and 0359 watched as his figure gradually faded, and finally dissipated into the air like a puff of smoke.
Lu Huai stretched out his hand and made a vague grab, but the person who was standing in front of him a moment ago had completely disappeared.
Just like his fate, which was beyond his control, he could fall like this at any time.
And he also saw the lineup of Auditor No. 003 for the first time.
The man wore a silver mask that obscured his features and a black, airtight cloak, perfectly embodying the minimalist style.
The way he used the power of rules to seize the unbinding system also revealed an inorganic coldness, making people almost think that the person in front of him was a robot.
But Lu Huai just glanced at him for a moment longer, and the man in the black cloak who was leaving with the system actually stopped in his tracks in a "humane" manner.
The moment he turned his head, Lu Huai felt a sense of familiarity coming over him.
Such a familiar face.
But the man in the black cloak glanced at his watch, then suddenly slipped into the rift between time and space. That familiar feeling vanished like a flash of light before Lu Huai could grasp it.
0359 saw the points that were credited to his account, heard the jingling sounds and the sound of money, but inexplicably he was not as happy as he had imagined.
But I still reported the good news to my dear host:
"Huaihuai, the extra mission brought us 8,000 points, which is almost catching up with 1/6 of the previous settlement. I didn't expect that we could even go beyond the passing line."
"That's great, I have points to buy things."
"It's just Xiaojiu, I suddenly..." Lu Huai showed a faint smile, but his handsome eyebrows were slightly frowned, making people want to love and give everything to soothe the sadness.
“I’m a little unsure what to do next.”
The fatigue in the words made the small system a little scared, and it flew around Lu Huai in a panic.
Lu Huai held it in his palm and rubbed the smooth body of the small ball.
0359 was just feeling comfortable and lost when he heard the beautiful host staring at him silently. It seemed that she had made up her mind. After a long moment, she asked him, "Xiaojiu, can you tell me if the same person will appear in different small worlds?"
"I, I, I... I don't know, Huaihuai."
"Hmm?" The slender and smooth fingers as green onions rubbed the little ball's belly symbolically.
The ticklish little system slid to its knees on the spot.
-------------------------------------
Ever since 0359 told everything that day, Lu Huai seemed to understand something.
Perhaps because he only knew his own ending, Lu Huai had less resistance and more acceptance towards the characters in the plot line.
There is quite a bit of warmth before the end.
[Punishment World Main Storyline: It has been detected that the second male lead, Lu Huai, is about to face the key plot point "Exit before Daylight". Please ensure that this plot point is successfully completed, otherwise it will cause serious deviations from the subsequent plot.]
"Received." The main system finally stopped broadcasting through 0359's body. It was a rare "humane" response.
Lu Huai responded.
In fact, as the level of alert continues to increase, the number of zombies and alien species involved in the daily "cleanup plan" is increasing.
The advent of this life-or-death battle has become the sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's heart.
That night, an unprecedentedly strong energy threshold was detected.
Xiao Zhengze forced himself to walk to the podium in the auditorium with a capacity of 1,000 people and pressed the button of the ultimate alarm from a high position.
All people with special abilities, including ordinary people who can control machines, stayed at their positions, ready for battle.
As night falls and the stars disappear, the Central Base flickers alone in the darkness, like a beacon in despair.
Around the base, dense hordes of zombies surged like a tide.
Among them, the neatly dressed zombie king, who looked almost indistinguishable from a human, stood proudly, his eyes flashing with cold wisdom, as if he was examining the upcoming decisive battle.
"How are you? It turns out the cunning little mice are hiding here."
The Zombie King smiled with a twitching mouth, his expression strange and twisted. His eyes, which were almost entirely black, reflected the bright spot, and his greedy and longing expression was as if he had stumbled upon a luxurious meal.
Lu Huai was assigned to the front line of the second line of defense, on the high ground in the northwest.
Wearing a white dress made of nanomaterials, she looks elegant even in strong winds.
Standing at the forefront of the defense line, it is like the purest Tianshan snow lotus on the plateau, beautiful yet inviolable because it is covered with ice and snow.
And Jun Mo was beside him.
——As commanders of the northern highlands, both of them have the skills to control group attacks.
They had practiced this coordination for a long time, but because the attack power was too strong, they usually had no chance to fully display it. Lu Huai was looking forward to it once it came in handy.
Although the people in the base had too many interactions with Jun Mo later on, some insiders told the gossipers that they were once an enviable couple and they have always tended to pay attention to their CP.
But now the two have parted ways for a long time. After a short period of good times, their relationship fell to the freezing point again, leaving only an unspeakable past.
After Jun Mo obtained Lu Huai's consent, he told Chief Xiao the relationship between them and the zombie leader.
So when the zombie tide appeared with mutated birds and beasts that could no longer recognize their original appearance, facing thousands of pairs of eyes full of murderous madness, they had to try to stand out and make a final communication.
——Since the Zombie King is intelligent, achieving peace without a bloody battle would be a better solution.
"Lu Huai, are you ready?"
Jun Mo's voice came from the side, with a subtle concern. He stood beside Lu Huai, his eyes full of vigilance, but also hiding a complex emotion.
He knew that this decisive battle not only concerned the survival of the base, but also the fate of each of them. In his previous life, he died before the battle, and he didn't know whether he had won.
But at this moment, he really hoped that everything would not be destroyed - even if he died according to the fate of his previous life.
Lu Huai tilted his head slightly and looked at Jun Mo, a subtle tenderness flashing in his eyes. "I'm ready, Jun Mo. No matter what the outcome, we must do our best." His voice was calm and firm, as if he had already prepared for the worst.
As the zombie horde approached, Lu Huai took a deep breath and swung his hands violently. A massive ice wall instantly rose from the ground, isolating the base from the zombie horde. Jun Mo closed his eyes, establishing a deep connection with the surrounding plants. Huge vines burst out of the ground, quickly entangling the zombies that tried to cross the ice wall.
Xiao Yuan, a lightning-powered psychic, stood high above, his eyes sharp as lightning. "Lu Huai, Jun Mo, be careful!" he shouted, hands raised high. Deafening thunder suddenly echoed in the sky. Bolts of lightning streaked across the night sky, accurately striking key targets within the zombie swarm.
Jian Sui'an, a power-enhancing psychic, weaved through the zombie horde like a black whirlwind. He wielded a machete, and every swing was accompanied by the zombies' wails. As he fought, he shouted, "Everyone, hold on! We will definitely win!"
The Zombie King didn't rush to attack, but instead slowly raised his hand, instantly halting the zombie army's advance. He gazed at the four psychics in the base, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Nice to meet you again, my two friends." The Zombie King's voice was hoarse and low, and with the huge crowd of fans around him, it seemed to carry some kind of magic.
Lu Huai frowned slightly. He didn't respond to the Zombie King's words, but instead stared at it closely, preparing for the upcoming battle. Jun Mo sneered, "I thought you were dead a long time ago, why are you still haunting me?"
The Zombie King wasn't angry; instead, he laughed. "It's been a while since we last met, little friend Lu. You've really blossomed. You were a beauty back then, and now you've become even more outstanding."
"But what can humans do? They are fragile, incompetent, and have a high opinion of themselves." His voice was full of threats and provocations.
"Zombies are immortal, powerful, and unrestrained by any constraints. I'm leading everyone to rebirth. Do you really think that erecting so many obstacles can stop the pace of evolution?"
"How naive."
"So the serum you said you wanted to study was all fake."
Jun Mo blurted out the word "culture", which made Lu Huai's eyes fixed.
"Really clever, but it's too late. I simply became the most successful evolutionary form, possessing the characteristics of two races. Doesn't this prove the success of my research?"
"So those zombies that appeared at the beginning were caused by you."
"How can you say such harsh words? What do you mean by causing trouble? That's what you mean by helping them to be liberated and evolve? You humans talk so much. If I didn't have the patience to persuade you, you wouldn't even pay attention."
Lu Huai closed his eyes.
Thinking about those lovely folks who were infected with the virus overnight and were "dealt with" and turned out to be bait for alienation, I feel that all this seems to be meaningless.
He knew he couldn't avoid this battle. "Everyone, get ready. Let's face the enemy together!" He shouted, concentrating all his supernatural powers into one point, ready to meet the Zombie King's attack.
The four of them worked in perfect harmony, engaging in a fierce battle. The others, however, were also busy. Under the leadership of Deputy Captain Jiang, the psychic team each performed their duties, forming a solid defensive formation. They guarded the residential area with unwavering determination, resolutely preventing any enemy from breaking through.
Lu Huai's ice wall crumbled under the onslaught of zombies, but he continually strengthened it while releasing icy cold air. Jun Mo's vines weaved through the zombie horde, entwining them tightly. Xiao Yuan's lightning rained down like divine retribution, each strike sending tremors through the zombie horde. Jian Sui'an, like a killing machine, reaped lives at will among the zombies.
However, the Zombie King's power was beyond imagination. It suddenly soared into the air, charging straight at Lu Huai. Lu Huai's eyes were determined. He knew he couldn't dodge this attack, but he wouldn't give up easily. He took a deep breath, concentrated all his supernatural powers in his hands, and prepared to deliver the Zombie King a fatal blow.
At this critical moment, Jun Mo suddenly shouted, "Lu Huai, be careful!" He quickly mobilized the surrounding plants to form a green barrier, blocking Lu Huai and the Zombie King. The Zombie King's attack was blocked by the green barrier for a moment, and this moment of hesitation gave Lu Huai the opportunity to counterattack.
He thrust his hands outward, and a massive cone of ice shot out, striking the Zombie King in the chest. Hit by the cone, the Zombie King tumbled through the air, wailing, and finally fell heavily to the ground. Lu Huai took the opportunity to strengthen the ice wall, firmly blocking the zombie army outside.
"Jun Mo, thank you." Lu Huai looked at Jun Mo, his eyes gleaming with gratitude. He knew that if Jun Mo hadn't helped him in time, he might have fallen under the attack of the Zombie King.
Jun Mo simply smiled, not saying much. He knew that in this decisive battle, each of them was the other's strongest support. They would continue to fight side by side, fighting to the bitter end for the survival of the base and for the future of humanity.
-------------------------------------
The night was as dark as the abyss, and moonlight cast a silvery, white veil over the ruins. On this tranquil yet perilous night, Lu Huai, an ice-type psychic, and Jun Mo, a reborn plant-type psychic, stood face to face, their eyes filled with complex emotions. Not far away, the Zombie King slowly approached. Not only was it a supremely powerful being, it also possessed a terrifying supernatural power: the manipulation of fire.
Lu Huai, clad in white as white as snow, his face serene and beautiful, like the purest ice sculpture on a winter's day. His eyes were deep, as if they could see through all the vanity of the world. He mastered his ice powers to perfection, and with every wave of his hand, he conjured an indestructible ice shield to protect those behind him.
Jun Mo, reborn, had a more resolute gaze. He could sense the breath of every plant around him, resonating with them. However, facing the approaching Zombie King, he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. He knew that this enemy was not only physically powerful, but also possessed a suppressive power.
The Zombie King's massive body cast a long shadow in the moonlight, its eyes like burning flames, revealing endless greed and destruction. With a deafening roar, the Zombie King opened its massive mouth, and a ball of blazing flames erupted from it, heading straight for Jun Mo.
Seeing this, Lu Huai's eyes flashed with determination. Without hesitation, he instantly gathered all his supernatural powers. A massive ice wall rose up in front of him, firmly blocking the flames. The collision of ice and fire generated a massive shockwave that shook the entire ruins.
However, the Zombie King's abilities were no ordinary feat. The flames, seemingly alive, spread rapidly along the ice wall, attempting to melt the defenses. Lu Huai gritted his teeth, constantly reinforcing the ice wall, but his face grew increasingly pale, clearly taking a heavy toll on him.
At this moment, Jun Mo suddenly moved. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if engaging in some mysterious communication with the surrounding plants. Then, giant vines burst from the ground. Like living creatures, they quickly wrapped around the Zombie King's limbs, restricting its movement.
The Zombie King roared angrily, and flames spewed out of its mouth again, but this time, its target became the vines. However, the vines seemed to have infinite vitality. Even after being scorched by the flames, they still tightly wrapped around the Zombie King, refusing to let go.
Lu Huai took this opportunity to gather his superpowers once again, ready to deal a fatal blow to the Zombie King. However, at this moment, the Zombie King suddenly erupted with a powerful force, breaking free from the vines, and at the same time, a ball of even hotter flames rushed towards Lu Huai.
Lu Huai was unable to dodge and was engulfed by the flames. His white clothes instantly turned red, but even so, there was no fear or retreat in his eyes. He used his body to block the deadly flames and protect Jun Mo behind him.
Jun Mo didn't think about the knowledge he learned in school before the end of the world for a long time.
He had no time for romance, and he also neglected to say a simple "I love you" while he could still say it and the other person could hear him.
After arguing to the end, I suddenly remembered the "previous alliance between wood and stone" in "Dream of Red Mansions". We met in this life to repay a tear shed in the previous life.
But he didn't want this tear. He would rather be burned to ashes and scattered into pieces of smoke and dust in the world where Lu Huai was.
Rather than, just like that, abruptly, ridiculously.
He should have borne the consequences, but he did not die. Instead, the other party took the consequences for him.
"This isn't fair..." he muttered.
But a tear fell from the corner of Lu Huai's eye, not sure if it was because of his own lust or the other party's reaction.
He raised his hand as if he wanted to touch him, but Jun Mo took the initiative to move his face closer, but it was too late, and his hand fell down stiffly and powerlessly.
There was only endless falling snow on all sides, which almost swallowed them up.
-------------------------------------
When my memory awakened, I dreamed that I had lived many lives. In those different fragments, Lu Huai was the unchanging light, and I was the admirer hiding in the dark and watching. I had the opportunity to sit at the table, but there were also times when I felt hopeless.
I also dreamed about my life long, long ago. During that time, I was busy but didn't know what I was looking for. I bravely took action to change it but ended up in an abyss that lasted for ten thousand years.
What happened afterwards was also fragmented and unclear.
All I know is that I am traveling through countless worlds, playing one role after another, and I will never be able to find out what kind of person I am in my entire life.
Until I met Lu Huai.
That person, who, just by entering his world, would restore the whole world to its colors...
But before he could say it out loud, he remembered, and before he could express his admiration and pursuit of him for so many lifetimes...
Why is this body in my arms so cold that I can't feel any temperature? It even feels so light, like a feather that will disappear from view once the wind blows.
It is said that men don't shed tears easily. Even though he was destroyed by people he was close to and trusted in his previous life, he didn't cry.
But at this moment, perhaps because the smoke and dust in the wind were too thick, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and he could faintly taste the rusty taste of his blood in his throat.
I had thought he was used to this kind of situation. But only when it really happened did I realize that no matter how much I prepared myself, in the face of absolute shock, emotion could never keep up with reason.
"Jun Mo! Jun Mo!"
"Lu Huai!"
He heard a lot of noises coming from all around him. The noise must have come from more than one person, but from all directions, making it difficult to distinguish.
But these sounds were so close, yet as if separated by a layer of water, flickering and floating unclearly.
Until he heard someone crying.
It was as if he just understood what had happened, but he didn't want to think about it anymore, and let his grief-stricken body collapse.
In the second before he lost consciousness, Jun Mo's mind was still lingering: Why? He had just found himself again, and his flesh and blood, his lover, had already been separated from him.
The world has once again become dark and gloomy. How should we spend the rest of our lives?
But he cannot die, because his life was saved by Lu Huai.
No matter whether he was being fake or sincere, he couldn't just let him down and throw away his sacrifice.
So, in his world, Jun Mo continued to work for the survival of humanity and the rebuilding of their homeland throughout his life. However, in the 25th year of the Cenozoic Era, when order gradually returned to the world and had essentially returned to its pre-apocalyptic state, this hero retreated into the background.
There is no such thing as a lingering love story between two human leaders that will be passed down through the ages.
