Apocalypse: Why did you provoke her? She's a cultivator.

Chapter 173 Mianmian, can you please not kill him?
A piercing scream suddenly erupted, and Shi Xichen's body convulsed violently.

Mouthfuls of dark red blood gushed from his mouth, splattering onto the ground in front of him, spreading a glaring crimson stain.

He curled up in pain, his black hair soaked with cold sweat, which made the deathly aura around him seem even dimmer.

Just then, a chaotic shoving sound suddenly came from behind the zombie horde.

Lin Yue frantically pushed aside the zombies blocking her way. The walking dead seemed to be wary of her, and she managed to force a path through them.

She staggered to the front of the army and bumped into Shi Xichen, who was vomiting blood and curled up.

"Ah Chen!"

Her voice trembled with sobs as she practically tumbled and crawled over.

Ignoring his disheveled appearance and bloodstains, she held him tightly in her arms.

Two lines of tears streamed down Bai Hui’s face without warning.

"How are you? Does it hurt?" Lin Yue's hand frantically reached out and touched his arm, her anxiety almost overflowing.

They completely forgot that they were in a battlefield between an army of zombies and an army of superhumans.

Ye Qiumian's pupils contracted sharply as she watched the figure suddenly rush out.

His fingers paused instinctively, and his tone carried a hint of barely perceptible hesitation: "Lin Yue?"

These two words struck Lin Yue like a thunderbolt, making her freeze in shock.

She paused in her embrace of Shi Xichen, slowly raised her head, and met Ye Qiumian's gaze with her tear-streaked face.

The moment Ye Qiu Mian saw that face clearly, she understood.

The ashen look on Lin Yue's face wasn't dirt, but the deathly aura unique to zombies after mutation.

Fortunately, she still had some sense in her eyes, but unfortunately, they had lost their former vibrancy.

It is highly likely that she was bitten by a zombie and was unable to avoid the virus infection, eventually becoming a zombie herself.

Ye Qiumian did not step forward, but the spiritual energy at her fingertips unconsciously subsided a bit.

She spoke slowly, her voice tinged with an excitement she herself didn't realize: "Lin Yue, I'm so glad you're alright."

These words were like a key, instantly unlocking the tension that Lin Yue had been holding for so long.

From being bitten and mutated, struggling to survive among hordes of zombies, to worrying that he would never see Ye Qiumian again.

The fear of turning into a monster, all the dread, resentment, and anxiety, completely collapsed the moment they heard "It's alright."

She could no longer hold back and abandoned Shi Xichen. She rushed forward, hugged Ye Qiumian, buried her face in her clean chest, and burst into a long-suppressed sob.

The hoarse, desperate cries stood out starkly against the silence of the two armies facing off, yet they also brought a pang of sorrow to the heart.

Ye Qiumian froze when she was hugged, and seeing how heartbroken she was, she felt a pang of heartache.

She raised her hand and gently patted Lin Yue's back to comfort her.

On the command tower at the rear of the superhuman army, a telescope was used to observe the situation on the open ground ahead.

Chen Jie's brows furrowed into a tight knot, his eyes filled with confusion.

This cultivator named Ye Qiumian clearly had the ability to severely injure the zombie king in one fell swoop, but he hesitated to deliver the fatal blow, instead allowing the situation to remain stagnant.

Chu Qingyang and the others beside him held their breath, their eyes fixed on the screen that was being projected back.

Who is that person who is hugging the zombie king and crying while hugging Sister Ye?

That was clearly a zombie, how could Sister Ye let it hug her?

This scene was so absurd that it left everyone full of questions, yet no one dared to speak up and stop it.

Chu Qingyang and the others knew very well that Ye Qiumian's strength was unfathomable.

Every step she takes is undoubtedly calculated, and making rash comments will only displease her. The command tower was eerily quiet, with only Lin Yue's suppressed sobs drifting in intermittently from the screen.

When Lin Yue finally finished crying, her red eyes were swollen like walnuts.

She raised her hand and wiped her face, the dirt and tears on her face leaving two messy tear streaks.

Lin Yue looked up at Ye Qiumian, whose aura was cold and aloof, and her heavy nasal voice carried a hint of pleading, "Mianmian... could you please not kill him?"

The name "Mianmian" carries a familiar feeling of bygone days, like a feather gently brushing against Ye Qiumian's heart.
Upon hearing Lin Yue's words, Shi Xichen froze, his body, which had been tense due to pain, suddenly coming to a standstill.

His scarlet pupils contracted slightly, and in his gaze toward Lin Yue, besides the violence, there was a hint of complexity that he himself was unaware of.

He never imagined that Lin Yue would plead for him.

Ye Qiumian looked down at Lin Yue's tearful face, and the wisp of spiritual energy at her fingertips quietly concealed its sharpness.

She didn't answer immediately, but her gaze swept over Lin Yue's arms, which were tightly embracing her.

Although Lin Yue had become a zombie, she felt that Lin Yue still had human warmth.

Ye Qiumian raised her hand and gently brushed away the tear stains on Lin Yue's face.

Looking at the girl's reddened eyes and her shoulders that had finally relaxed after being tense.

She curved her lips into a smile, her voice as soft as melting snow: "Fine, if you say you won't kill, then you won't kill."

Lin Yue's nose tingled, and she almost burst into tears again, but she desperately held them back.

She buried her face in Ye Qiumian's shoulder and rubbed against her, her muffled voice full of dependence: "Mianmian, thank you."

"No need to thank me." Ye Qiumian gently patted her back, but her gaze turned to Shi Xichen, who was bound.

His tone instantly turned colder, "But let me make this clear: not killing him doesn't mean I'll tolerate him attacking humans."

"From now on, if he dares to lead an army of zombies onto human territory, even if you plead for mercy, I will not show any leniency."

The oppressive aura of spiritual energy spread with the words, causing Shi Xichen to shudder.

My heart, which had relaxed a little because of Lin Yue's plea, suddenly tightened again.

He looked up at Ye Qiumian, his dark eyes still filled with lingering pain and complex emotions.

This woman was able to defeat him so easily, which shows that her strength is even greater than that of a god.

Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to accept his defeat!

After all, who would want to die if they could live a good life?

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue immediately turned around and walked towards Shi Xichen, grabbed Shi Xichen's arm and shook it, her eyes full of advice.

"Ah Chen, did you hear that? You can't take them to attack humans anymore, or Mianmian will be angry."

Shi Xichen swallowed hard, but didn't speak. He just slowly loosened his clenched fist.

Even though he was unwilling, looking into Lin Yue's bright eyes, he couldn't bring himself to refute her.

He gave a soft "hmm," and Lin Yue immediately broke into a bright smile.

On the command tower at the rear, Chen Jie and the others were stunned.

Nan Shaohua rubbed his eyes and whispered to Chu Qingyang, "Brother Chu... Sister Ye... is she really letting the Zombie King go for the sake of that mutated zombie?"

Chu Qingyang frowned deeply and shook his head: "I don't know. How could we possibly guess what Sister Ye is thinking?"

Even so, the shock in his eyes was unmistakable.

What is the background of that mutated zombie named Lin Yue, who could subdue the zombie king with a wave of her hand?
Ignoring the commotion behind her, Ye Qiu Mian looked down at Lin Yue and asked, "How were you doing when you were with him?"

Lin Yue nodded, but fearing that Ye Qiumian would worry, she quickly said, "Achen has never hurt me. I was almost bitten to death by a level 6 zombie before, and he saved me. After that, no zombie dared to bite me since I stayed by his side."

It's the last day of the month, please vote for me!
