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

Cang Xingyue vanished from the street as soon as she left the crowd, and everyone froze for a moment.

She appeared at Xiaoliu's house, or rather, more than two hours earlier.

At this moment, the alien beast, now revealing its true form, placed Xiaoliu on the sofa.

Hearing someone approaching, a cloud of purple smoke enveloped it once more, and within the hazy purple smoke, the fox-eyed monster's appearance transformed into hers.

As the purple smoke dissipated, the person who had come to visit pushed open the door and entered. It was the same old man who had identified her. The moment he entered the room, the alien beast plunged its knife into Xiaoliu's heart.

The old man was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, while the strange beast with a fierce look in its eyes pressed closer step by step.

Cang Xingyue looked in the direction the old man had come from. He said his daughter had arrived in time to save him.

She stood quietly to the side like an observer, waiting for the old man's daughter to appear and save him.

Unexpectedly, the daughter did not appear. Even after the alien beast grabbed the old man by the collar and lifted him up, and then plunged a knife into his neck, she still did not appear.

The strange beast struck swiftly and accurately, instantly spurting blood. The old man only struggled for a moment before losing his breath, his head drooping and his limbs hanging limply.

The fox-eyed monster released its grip, holding the blood-stained dagger in front of it. It stuck out its tongue and licked the blood off the dagger, its face showing pleasure as if it had tasted some exquisite delicacy.

Cang Xingyue was slightly surprised that the old man who had identified her had actually died.

She was hated and targeted by everyone for two reasons: first, Fang Yanqing's announcement portrayed her as the culprit of the apocalypse; second, this old man publicly identified her as the murderer of Zhao Xuer.

Zhao Xuer is the only healing ability user in the Nanqi Base, playing a very important role and deeply loved by the residents. Attributing her death to her will only deepen the hatred towards her.

She wanted to see what had happened at this point in time, but unexpectedly discovered a truth that was different from what had been told.

It seems that the old man who identified her was probably this strange corpse beast in disguise.

"Ah!!!" Suddenly, a terrified scream pierced through my ears.

She looked in the direction of the sound.

A girl stood in the doorway, her pupils suddenly dilating as if she had witnessed something horrifying. She covered her mouth with her hand, her legs trembling, and after a moment, she lowered her hand and uttered a single, trembling word: "...Father."

Is she that old man's daughter?

Cang Xingyue looked at the old man's corpse on the ground and the strange beast lying on it, and lowered her eyes to hide the pity in them.

She thought—this day would probably become the most unforgettable nightmare of this girl's life.

The alien beast straightened up, swallowed a piece of meat with a gurgling sound, its mouth full of blood. When it saw the newcomer, its eyes lit up.

Purple smoke instantly enveloped the girl, and the fox-eyed alien beast spoke enticingly, "Come here."

The girl walked towards it numbly, as if she had lost her soul.

Cang Xingyue stepped forward, wanting to reach out and stop her from going over, but suddenly remembered something and indifferently put her hand down.

What good would it do to change her fate? Even if she were saved, she would still have witnessed the alien beasts devouring her family.

This will probably be a trauma for her for the rest of her life. Even if she survives under the attack of the alien beasts, she will probably go insane from the mental breakdown.

Rather than letting her live the rest of her life in misery, it's better to let her live naturally as she is now.

Cang Xingyue glanced at the two people lying in a pool of blood with pity in her eyes.

I'm sorry, I can't save you right now. Only after I find out the whole story can I remove the root cause of this apocalypse, so that everyone can live in peace. Only then can I truly save you, not just you, but everyone.

She couldn't bear to look any longer. A starlight flashed by, and she returned to her original time. The people on the street started moving again, like a clock with a battery installed.

What she needs to do now is to return the blame to Fang Yanqing, force him to show himself, and then—kill him!

Cang Xingyue returned to the space and found Lu Siyan. Standing in front of him were his brothers who had become superhuman corpses. He was talking to them, and they stood in a row listening obediently.

“We haven’t seen each other for a while. I thought you were doing well…” Lu Siyan said sadly.

"...Boss..."

One of the superhuman zombies slowly stepped forward and laboriously uttered two words, his difficult manner resembling that of a child who had just learned to speak.

"Liang Ji, you're still conscious?!" Hearing the voice, Lu Siyan rushed forward in surprise, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and said excitedly.

Cang Xingyue recognized the man named Liang Ji as the same superhuman corpse that had been torn in two by the alien beast.

Surprisingly, he still retained his consciousness.

But after that sound, he fell silent again, and after waiting for a long time, he did not hear any response from him, as if what they had just heard was just their imagination.

Lu Siyan was somewhat disappointed, and he dejectedly lowered the hand that was holding his shoulder.

Cang Xingyue stepped forward and took his hand. She looked at him, wanting to offer comfort but not knowing how to begin.

“You’re back, Yue.” He forced a smile and reassured her, “I’m fine, you don’t need to worry.”

Would you like to tell me your story?

He squeezed her hand back. "Of course."

He recounted the events before and after the apocalypse in detail, but he only briefly touched upon the reason why he became the Zombie King.

"In order to stop the spread of the virus launched by Dr. S, Liang Ji used his body to block the launch pad. Although he stopped the spread of the virus, he was also affected and turned into a half-human, half-zombie."

"I think the reason he can retain a sliver of consciousness is probably because he was a half-zombie before."

"And what about you? Why did you become like this?" Cang Xingyue pressed.

Lu Siyan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. "Me? I was just infected with the virus, that's all. To be able to become the Zombie King and still retain my own consciousness, perhaps I'm lucky."

She always felt that Lu Siyan was hiding something from her, but she couldn't get the answer out of him because he was deliberately concealing it.

"If you don't want to talk about it, I will respect that."

Since she won't offer words of comfort, she should show it through actions. If she resolves the issue that's troubling him, he won't be sad anymore.

I wonder if her ability to control time can help Lu Siyan's brothers recover.

Although she wasn't sure, she wanted to give it a try.

When was the last time you saw them?

"Liang Ji was thirty-six days ago, Le Yuan was half a month ago, Xu Zhao was five months ago, and Sister Chu Tong was a year ago. Because of Song Lin's disappearance, the last time we saw each other was four years and six months ago."

"So they turned into mutant zombies in the last two days?"

Lu Siyan nodded, "Except for Song Lin."

It seems that two days ago, apart from Song Lin, the other four were still human, but they didn't know when Fang Yanqing captured them.

However, the last time she saw any of these people was the shortest. She guessed that perhaps half a month ago they were still free and hadn't been caught by Fang Yanqing.

Lu Siyan asked suspiciously, "A-Yue, what do you want to do?"

"It's simple, just do something that makes you happy."
