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

"Hello." Cang Xingyue smiled and responded politely.

After that, the group remained silent, watching Zhao Xuer treat Li Zai.

After a moment, Zhao Xuer withdrew her supernatural power and raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead when a tissue was handed to her.

She looked in the direction indicated it was Fang Yanqing.

Zhao Xuer smiled slightly at him, her eyes sparkling, and took the tissue to carefully wipe away her sweat.

Li Zai's wounds have healed, and his dazed mind is gradually returning to normal.

Seeing that he was recovering and out of danger, Manxue was very happy and thanked Zhao Xuer repeatedly.

Fang Yanqing sat on the sofa with her legs elegantly crossed, her gaze sweeping over the two of them before she asked solemnly, "What did you encounter on the way?"

"Yeah, how come only the two of you came back from your team? Where are the others?" Zhao Xuer asked in agreement.

Li Zai got up from the sofa and stood next to Man Xue, saying, "We encountered a very powerful superhuman zombie on the way. They were poisoned by it and died."

He then recounted the entire incident in detail.

"Thanks to Lu Ren's timely rescue, we were able to return safely."

"Lu Ren?" Fang Yanqing guessed the meaning behind it and looked at Cang Xingyue casually, asking, "Are you sure this is your real name?"

His scrutinizing gaze was unabashedly fixed on her, as if he had already seen through her lies. Although his question was calm, it carried a sense of pressure, as if he was forcing her to be honest.

Cang Xingyue only looked at him for three seconds before looking away.

The name Lu Ren was just a way to appease Shen Wei, to prevent him from mentioning her to Lu Siyan.

If Lu Siyan finds out she's not dead, he'll probably come after her again and go crazy.

She had important things to do and no time to deal with this madman.

What she needs to do now is join the Nanqi base so that she can find the person behind the evil deeds. For the long term, she can't let the name Lu Ren appear here.

After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Lu Ren is indeed not my real name. I was just helping someone out of the blue, and I wasn't trying to make friends. There's no need to exchange personal information. Lu Ren is just a passerby."

Manxue was somewhat surprised after hearing this: "Huh? If your name isn't Lu Ren, then what is it?"

“My name is Cang Yunyang,” she said, using a pseudonym she had come up with on the spot.

She looked at Fang Yanqing with a determined gaze and said, "I want to join the Nanqi Base."

"Nanqi Base does not accept the weak. If you can pass the assessment, I welcome you to join us at any time."

"Base Commander, Yunyang is very powerful. He has three superpowers, two of which are extremely rare water and fire superpowers." Manxue spoke highly of her.

"Oh? That sounds impressive." Fang Yanqing's interest was piqued.

"However, words are not enough; we must see actual capabilities before judging strength or weakness."

Fang Yanqing spoke while looking at Cang Xingyue, his gaze never leaving her face from beginning to end.

Even though she hadn't done anything wrong, she still felt increasingly guilty under his gaze.

What's wrong with this base commander? Is she spitting out some kind of flower? Why is she staring at her like that?!

Because Fang Yanqing's gaze remained fixed on Cang Xingyue, a hint of displeasure flashed across Zhao Xuer's face.

"Yanqing, does your arm still hurt?" she asked gently, drawing Fang Yanqing's attention back to herself.

"It's okay."

As he spoke, he got up to leave, but stopped as he passed Cang Xingyue and said casually, "Didn't you want to join the base? Then come with me."

"Yan Qing, I'll go with you." Zhao Xuer got up, wanting to follow.

“No need, I just need him to come.” His tone left no room for refusal.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuer stopped in her tracks, feeling dejected.

Fang Yanqing seemed to remember something and added, "I'll come over for dinner tonight."

"Then Yan Qing, I'll wait for you." A smile appeared on Zhao Xuer's face.

Cang Xingyue glanced at her, and the person who had been feeling down suddenly became as happy as a child who had received a red flower because of this lighthearted remark.

She couldn't help but become curious about the relationship between the two.

But Fang Yanqing didn't give her any extra time to think. He had already walked straight outside, and if she didn't follow soon, she might lose him.

She quickly jogged after him.

"Congratulations on completing the Star Moon mission. You have earned two survival points."

"A survival mission has been triggered. Pass the assessment to join the Nanqi Base. The mission reward is one survival point." The system's voice broadcasted in my mind.

I'm almost there; I'm much closer to my goal.

Thinking of this, she became much happier, but suddenly felt a pain on her face as she bumped into Fang Yanqing, who was walking in front of her.

"Are you in a hurry?" Fang Yanqing stopped in her tracks.

"Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going for a moment." Cang Xingyue covered her sore nose, looking apologetic.

Fang Yanqing started walking again, asking her as he went:

"It seems you're very eager to join a base, so why did you choose Nanqi, the hardest to join, instead of other easier bases?"

"I have nowhere to go and I'm wandering around. It's not surprising that I'm eager to enter the base and settle down. Nanqi is the top of the five major bases. I have the ability and confidence to do so. If I have to choose, I will naturally choose the best."

She was walking behind and couldn't see Fang Yanqing's expression after hearing these words, but she heard him chuckle softly.

I don't know whether he believed her or not.

Cang Xingyue frowned. This Southern Qi base commander seemed to have the ability to see through people's hearts, and his eyes could make people feel guilty, which made her a little afraid to lie in front of him.
