My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 48 Ze, you're a ruthless person!

Chu Zhu paused briefly, then gave Guan Fei a strange look. "Why do they look like savages... and what are you wearing?"

"By the way, aren't there still vines at the entrance? Those are from those vicious thieves... How did you manage to dodge their attacks and get in?"

"Vines, oh, you mean, exotic plants?" Zhou Ze was a little unsure. "They... they won't attack these monsters, will they? After all, they're the same kind as these two monsters... Hmm? Savages?"

"Wait, a monster!" Chu Zhu also realized something was wrong.

The two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"The monster you're talking about..." Chu Zhu sorted out his thoughts and looked at Guan Fei and the other person in disbelief.

"Yes... They don't understand language, possess power beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, a power that cannot be looked at directly, and they go crazy from time to time! They slaughter insanely... They can even mutate and twist into true monsters." Zhou Ze shuddered, then looked at Chu Zhu with some strangeness and gave a wry smile.

"These two are actually quite good... You're really lucky! You actually encountered a few monsters that were relatively well-controlled..."

Chu Zhu: "..."

Control, a bizarre power? Unbearable to behold? Frenzied slaughter? Mutation? Twisting?!

and many more……

"They're superhumans!" A tidal wave of shock surged through Chu Zhu's heart. Superhumans in this world lacked human intelligence, and might even go mad... transforming into so-called true monsters?

How is that possible? This problem didn't occur in the previous timeline...

"Unless!" Chu Zhu turned his head and stared at Guan Fei's twisted muscles, his mind filled with thoughts, recalling everything Li Kang had told him.

Pollution...nuclear radiation causes muscle distortion...normal people must not be allowed to know about supernatural phenomena; if they do, their memories of these things must be erased...

"Although we don't yet know the exact connection between these events, it's probably due to contamination... The previous timeline obviously had methods to combat contamination! This timeline might not? That's why the superhumans in this timeline... are seen as monsters by normal people? Hmm, there are also reasons related to their own actions..."

Taking a deep breath, Chu Zhu forcibly cleared the chaotic thoughts from her mind, stood up, and said, "Alright! Take me back to, um, where we're gathered..."

Zhou Ze paused for a moment, gave Chu Zhu a deep look, and nodded.

……

Get out of the base.

Guan Fei let out a strange roar at the vines, pounding his chest repeatedly. At that moment, the vines twisted their bodies like snakes, even straightening up in mid-air like cobras, writhing as if greeting someone or dancing.

However, some of the vines showed hostility towards Chu Zhu. But as soon as they got close to Chu Zhu, Guan Fei yelled them back.

"I see." Chu Zhu nodded expressionlessly. So these vines were her watchdogs—

So, can we summarize what happened to him as being bitten by a dog?
In ruins.

The group continued on their way.

Soon, they arrived at a remote area. Chu Zhu knew the way, and although the landmarks were completely different from the previous timeline, he could roughly guess that this should be the shantytown redevelopment area where the union headquarters was located...

then……

"Fire! Fire!" Zhou Ze suddenly rolled over, then shouted with a ferocious expression, "He's not Mr. Zhu! Kill all these monsters..."

Chu Zhu's pupils contracted. He reacted extremely quickly, instinctively pulling Guan Fei to his side.

The next moment.

Accompanied by a deafening roar and terrifyingly hot steam spewing from the cat's hole in the distance—

The bullet pierced Guan Fei's body. Guan Fei's face was filled with shock, first disbelief, then sorrow, and finally, hysterical rage and killing intent.

He roared like a wild beast. Instead of attacking Zhou Ze, he charged straight towards the cat hole in the distance.

"...No, buddy?" Chu Zhu was really dumbfounded. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't he kill Zhou Ze, who had turned against him, first?

What kind of thought process led you to charge straight for the strongest enemy firepower?

then……

Chu Zhu stared blankly as bullet after bullet was fired, relentlessly piercing Guan Fei and slowly driving him to his doom...

Three meters from the cat hole, Guan Fei finally couldn't take it anymore and collapsed to the ground with a thud. His face still bore the marks of resentment and anger.

As for Bixuan, who possesses innocent eyes...

Oh, he's already made a sharp, explosive sound and fled in a sorry state.

Chu Zhu was a beat slow. So...

The next instant, accompanied by a burst of steam, bullets shot toward him.

Chu Zhu: "...Ze, great job! You did a great job!"

You're a tough one!

……

No matter how many times Chu Zhu experiences death, she can never truly adapt to it.

Chu Zhu suddenly opened her eyes, breathing slightly heavily.

"Are you alright?" Zhou Ze's voice rang out with a hint of worry.

"?" Chu Zhu's eyebrows twitched, and she forcibly suppressed the urge to punch Zhou Ze in the face, and looked around.

Oh, not far away, Guan Fei was still pounding his chest, communicating with the vines guarding the gate.

It has been reset to this time period!
Without hesitation, Chu Zhu expressionlessly grabbed Zhou Ze by the throat.

"...Huh?!" Bi Xuan was stunned. He looked at Chu Zhu for a moment, then at Zhou Ze, then at Guan Fei who was still pounding his chest in the distance. He tilted his head, clearly his brain had completely shut down because of this incomprehensible scene.

“…You!” Zhou Ze struggled with all his might, but he couldn’t budge him an inch. His face gradually showed understanding, despair, and hatred.

After a while, when Zhou Ze's resistance gradually weakened and he was really about to die, Chu Zhu casually threw Zhou Ze to the ground and said coldly, "Tell me... what exactly happened! Why did you want to kill us?"

Chu Zhu was actually quite curious; he knew Zhou Ze very well. He was bold yet meticulous, valued relationships, but was extremely principled!

This is not a leader like Zhu Yuanzhang.

He wouldn't do something like: "If I succeed to the throne and feel that my predecessor is a threat to usurp my power... I'll kill him!" That kind of thing...

If he really does that, Chu Zhu will definitely reset the previous timeline because of it—and then he can be killed and replaced with someone else!

But in reality, in the previous timeline, Zhou Ze did an excellent job as the general manager of the union. He also showed great respect for Chu Zhu.

Therefore, even though Chu Zhu was displeased that Zhou Ze had died before, she was not angry enough to deliver a fatal blow to him the second time they met.

"Well, of course, we can't rule out... the possibility that Zhou Ze in this timeline has a different personality than Zhou Ze in the previous timeline!" A nonsensical thought popped into Chu Zhu's mind. After all, Guan Fei and Bi Xuan have become wild men, so what's impossible?
