Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland: The Female Protagonist Has Become a God

After saying goodbye, Cang Xingyue left the base, but was stopped by Lu Siyan before she had gone far.

"and many more."

Cang Xingyue raised an eyebrow at the arm stretched across her face and asked indifferently, "What is it?"

“You’re lying,” Lu Siyan said with certainty.

"Oh? Which sentence are you referring to?" Cang Xingyue looked at the sand beneath her feet, her mind preoccupied with the red-cloaked man, and replied to his words in a nonchalant manner.

Lu Siyan frowned, somewhat displeased with her cold attitude, and asked directly, "Where exactly did A-Yue go?"

Cang Xingyue then raised her eyelids to look at him, "A-Yue? Are you two very familiar?"

"This is none of your business. You just need to tell me where she went."

Cang Xingyue sneered: "This gentleman's attitude in asking for help is quite domineering. Where Xingyue goes is none of your business."

His patience exhausted, Lu Siyan suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck, his eyes dark and cold as he threatened, "Tell me the truth if you don't want to die."

Cang Xingyue looked down at the hand gripping her neck, the force so strong it seemed as if her neck would snap if she uttered another word of "no".

He truly is a wicked man, with a terrible habit of choking people at the drop of a hat.

Since she was so eager to know where she had gone, she decided to tell him properly.

A sad expression appeared on Cang Xingyue's face. She squeezed out some tears and stammered, "Xingyue, she...she..." She hesitated and didn't finish her sentence, deliberately trying to provoke him.

Seeing that her eyes suddenly filled with tears, Lu Siyan had a bad feeling and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with A-Yue? Tell me!"

"Let me go first..." She patted the hand that was choking her neck.

Lu Siyan frowned, then impatiently relaxed his brow.

"Say!"

"Xingyue... she's dead." As she said this, her eyes were fixed on his face, not wanting to miss a single change in his expression.

These words struck Lu Siyan like a heavy boulder, causing him to stagger and nearly lose his balance.

"No, that's impossible! You're lying, how could A-Yue be dead!" He shook his head, unwilling to believe it, and refuted her words.

"Why is it impossible? Xingyue is just flesh and blood. How many lives do you think she has?" She ruthlessly shattered his self-deceiving fantasy.

Lu Siyan's face turned pale, his throat tightened, and his chest heaved violently. He was struck by those words and his heart clenched with pain, so intense that he could hardly breathe.

Yes, A-Yue is just a creature of flesh and blood. Even he, a zombie king who is practically a walking corpse, can die. How much more so for her, a human.

Was her death because...?

Lu Siyan mustered the last of his strength to keep his voice from trembling and asked hesitantly, "A-Yue, she..."

He was terrified of the answer, but the words he wanted to ask just wouldn't come out.

Cang Xingyue had been watching him the whole time, so she naturally didn't miss the change in his emotions. Seeing him like this, she felt a sense of vengeful pleasure.

You bastard, you deserve the same pain you caused me. Since you haven't apologized to me, I'll have to get that apology myself.

"You want to ask how she died, right?"

Lu Siyan stared at her red lips as she spoke, and a sense of fear inexplicably arose in his heart.

"Her heart was severely damaged, rendering her unable to use her powers. Just then, a monster called the Bloodthirsty Corpse appeared. This monster was extremely powerful; no one in the entire base survived her attack, including her," she continued.

How could soft lips utter such sharp, knife-like words, each one piercing his heart?

Lu Siyan closed his eyes in pain.

As expected... as expected, it was I who caused her death.

He no longer had the courage to stand there and continue listening to her speak.

Lu Siyan took a shaky step back and instantly teleported away from her.

After he left, Cang Xingyue reached out and removed the mask from her face, reverting from Yu Lian's appearance to her own.

She raised her hand and touched her chest. The wound had healed, and her heart had resumed its usual vigorous beating, continuously channeling energy throughout her body.

As she opened her palm, a ball of flame instantly ignited, and her powers were fully restored.

He sighed helplessly and put away the flames.

If only my powers could have been restored sooner, but unfortunately it's too late.

Cang Xingyue entered the space and was teleported to Tang Chen's home.

Two desiccated corpses lay across the spacious living room: Yu Lian and Tang Chen.

She looked at the two corpses, her heart heavy. After a moment of silence, she said, "Tang Chen, Yu Lian, may you rest in peace."

With a wave of his hand, a ball of flame landed on the two corpses, instantly erasing all traces.

That way, Yu Sheng won't see it, and in her heart, Yu Lian will always be with her.

She then went to the pile of corpses and used her fire powers to wipe them all away.

After doing all this, she left the base, glancing back one last time before leaving.

See you later, everyone.

Yu Sheng and Qu Xingran had already left. After Cang Xingyue left, the Dongliu Base became a ghost town. The liveliness was gone, replaced by a lifeless atmosphere.
