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

"The captain couldn't find anyone, and the door lock is intact with no signs of forced entry," a guard reported to Chen Chen.

Chen Chen, expressionless, grabbed the second boy by the collar and pulled him in front of him. "Where is he?"

"They were just here. They said someone was going to take them away, and they were going to take us with them too," the boy explained hastily.

"Oh? Who's taking them?"

"I remember it was a woman, very tall and beautiful, and she was wearing your uniform. She must have been your colleague, sir."

"Colleague..." Chen Chen coldly tossed the person aside and sneered, "The Security Bureau has no women, and never accepts women."

Chen Chen reached out, and a guard stepped forward and handed him a white gun with the letters K9 marked in blue. Above the muzzle was a small rectangular screen, about five centimeters long and three centimeters wide.

When the boy saw the gun, his face changed drastically, his eyes filled with fear, and his legs went weak, causing him to collapse to the ground.

"No, no!" he screamed like a madman, trying to get up with his hands and feet, but his limbs were too weak and he failed several times.

"System, do you know what this is?"

Cang Xingyue couldn't help but wonder why this gun could terrify him so much.

At this moment, two guards stepped forward and lifted the person up from the left and right.

"I'm not sure, let me do some testing."

Chen Chen had already walked up to the boy B and raised his hand to place the muzzle of the gun on his forehead.

"Detected. It's a memory-reading gun. It can steal other people's memories. This process is extremely painful, like having nails driven into the head. The victim often dies from the pain."

As soon as the system finished speaking, the scream of the male student B echoed throughout the empty room.

Cang Xingyue conjured a fireball in her hand, ready to throw it to block the attack, but it was too late. Boy B had already collapsed to the ground like a rag doll, lifeless.

Cang Xingyue silently withdrew the flames and closed her eyes helplessly.

While it is certainly despicable for this person to betray his companions, dying in such extreme pain is a punishment that is far too severe. If Chen Chen had simply stabbed him directly, she would never have tried to stop him.

Chen Chen tapped the screen, and instantly the small screen projected an image onto the wall.

The scene that boy B had just witnessed played out like a movie, and her face was displayed in perfect clarity in everyone's view.

"Notify all guards to find this person!" Chen Chen immediately gave the order.

"Yes, sir!" The guards accepted the order and began the search, with one or two going out to notify the others.

Chen Chen played the footage over and over again, trying to find any clues.

Cang Xingyue seemed to remember something and subconsciously covered her wrist.

At this moment, Chen Chen also noticed the red bracelet on her wrist in the picture.

"Cang Yunyang?" Chen Chen exclaimed in disbelief, "It's actually a woman..." He stood there, stunned, unsure of how to react.

Cang Xingyue smiled, the news that his former colleague had become a woman was enough to shock him for a while.

"System, as long as you promise to give me two points, I will immediately rush out and beat them to a pulp, leaving not a trace of the Meat Rock Mushroom."

The system couldn't help but be intrigued. "Xingyue, why are you so insistent on having these two points? If you want superpowers, you're already quite powerful, so you probably don't need them anymore, right?"

Cang Xingyue lowered her eyes, her gaze filled with melancholy.

"Compared to the trash others once called me, I am now indeed powerful enough to be fearless, but this power has not been able to protect my friends and the residents who support and love me."

“I also failed the old base chief’s dying wish. I failed to take good care of his only grandson, and all the residents of the base died.”

"So many, so many people... I can't let go of it, and I can't forgive myself."

The system sighed, "This is not your fault."

"Those in positions of authority should fulfill their duties; dereliction of duty is wrong, and breaking promises is also wrong."

"Sigh, I promise you, I'll give you two points after it's done, but can you tell me what you want to do?"

"When I was exchanging for superpowers, I saw one called the Power of Time. It said that it allowed me to control time, to go back in time, and to travel to the future. I thought..."

"Do you want to go back to before the residents died?" the system interrupted her and asked.

"No! I want to go back to before the apocalypse, stop it from happening, and give everyone a peaceful and harmonious world."

The system was surprised.

"You want to be a savior?"

Cang Xingyue smiled dismissively.

"Who wants to be the savior? It just so happens that the person I care about is a member of that world."

"Xingyue, I must tell you that anyone who recklessly reverses time and alters everyone's destiny will inevitably be abandoned by time. At that time, you will not be able to coexist with your past self, nor will you be able to return to the present."

"It doesn't matter, my mind is made up, and I will never change it!"

Even if there are no more Azure Star and Moon in the world.

The system was helpless, but didn't say anything more.

Because she received the system's promise, Cang Xingyue felt relieved.

She silently threw a large water ball at Chen Chen, who was caught off guard and almost got hit. He quickly dodged to the side, and at that moment, Cang Xingyue took the opportunity to come to his side and snatch the memory reading gun from his hand.

Cang Xingyue put the memory reading gun into her spatial storage. This thing was very useful, and she had to keep it safe.

"No need to go to great lengths to find me, I'm right here."

She stopped hiding and appeared directly in front of Chen Chen, instantly surrounded by guards.

"Cang Yunyang, how did you get here? What do you want?" Chen Chen's gaze towards Cang Xingyue was utterly unfriendly.

Cang Xingyue sneered, "Perhaps even the heavens couldn't stand the despicable things you've done, so they let me stumble in by accident."

"Also, let me reintroduce myself. I am Cang Xingyue, the commander of the Dongliu Base. I'm here to take your lives." She emphasized the last three words, enunciating each one clearly.

Everyone present looked shocked.

Cang Xingyue looked at Chen Chen and asked, "Did you do this voluntarily?"

Chen Chen was quite surprised by her question. He paused for a moment, then laughed sarcastically, "Who would force us?"

"For example, that 'sir'."

Chen Chen's smile faded, and he remained silent for a moment: "How much do you know?"

"Guess what?"

"No matter how much you know, you won't leave here alive today!" Chen Chen's face was filled with murderous intent. The guards surrounding Cang Xingyue seemed to receive an order and attacked her with all their might.

As Cang Xingyue raised her hand, flames rose from the ground, forming a fire shield around her. The flames that leaped from the ground seemed to have a life of their own, climbing onto the guards' clothes.

"Whether I can leave or not is not up to you. On the contrary, whether you will live or die in the next second is up to me."

"Ha, what a boastful tone!"

"At least I still have breath, unlike you, who are all dead." Cang Xingyue laughed wickedly and arrogantly.

Some guards couldn't withstand the flames and teleported away, but they returned shortly afterward with flames that couldn't be extinguished.

"Knowing that you all have teleportation abilities, I specially tailored this for you. As long as I don't want it to go out, this fire will keep burning on you."

Cang Xingyue looked at the guards rolling on the ground and didn't want to make things too difficult for them.

He asked Chen Chen, who was still putting up a fight, "Is that gentleman Fang Yanqing? Your Nanqi base chief?"

Besides Fang Yanqing, she couldn't think of anyone else who could command the guards.
