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

The old man hurried over, leaning on his cane. Although he was using a cane, his steps were brisk, as if the cane was just an ornament.

But people were so caught up in their curiosity that they ignored this unusual phenomenon.

The crowd automatically parted to make way for him.

He walked up to Zhao Xuer, straightened his back, and placed his left hand on the back of his right hand, which was holding a cane. He was full of confidence.

"Don't believe her, everyone! She's that villain in disguise! I saw Miss Zhao being killed with my own eyes!"

He looked Zhao Xuer up and down, "How could she possibly still be standing here unharmed!"

“Sister Xu’er was rescued, and she’s a healing ability user, so it’s normal for her to recover quickly after being injured,” Manxue, who had been standing in the crowd for a long time, spoke up to defend Zhao Xu’er.

Compared to the old man who only talked the talk but never provided any evidence, she believed Zhao Xuer, who had proven her worth to everyone.

Zhao Xuer slightly curved the corners of her lips and nodded to Manxue with a gentle smile to express her gratitude.

The gentle aura she exuded was exactly the same as the image everyone remembered.

She parted her lips slightly, showing no sign of doubt or displeasure, and asked calmly with a smile, "You seem to wish me not to live?"

"Of course I want Miss Zhao to live, but you are not Miss Zhao!" He pointed with his cane at the portrait in the resident's hand. "You are that villain!"

Zhao Xuer sighed helplessly, "Why are you so confident, as if you killed me with your own hands?"

She shook her head gently, looking very distressed. "How can I prove that I am still alive?"

She did not respond to his questions about her identity, but only insisted that she was still alive.

"Yes, you keep saying that Sister Xu'er is dead, but you have never produced any evidence. If you want people to believe you, I think you need to prove it to everyone."

Li Zai walked to Manxue's side and looked at the old man.

“Sister Xu’er has already proven her identity to everyone. Since you have doubts, please provide evidence,” Manxue continued.

"Yes, produce evidence to convince us!"

The onlookers also began to chime in.

The once confident old man panicked instantly. He stammered, "How...how can I prove this? Can I play what's in my head for everyone to see?"

“You say you saw me killed at my house, and you insist that I am not the real person. Well then, let’s go to my house together and see. If I am an imposter, then the real Zhao Xu’er’s body must still be at home.”

Zhao Xuer pressed her advantage.

“Since you can’t provide evidence, then I will. If everyone still has doubts, I’m open to scrutiny, and I’m willing to go with you.” She looked at the old man, “Would you be willing to do the same?”

All eyes were now on him, and he could only straighten his back and loudly agree, "This old man has a clear conscience and is naturally willing to go, but I hope you don't run away halfway!"

"Then please." Zhao Xuer gestured for him to proceed, her head slightly lowered, her gaze inadvertently glancing to her side.

The old man snorted angrily through his nose and walked ahead, leaning on his cane.

The group arrived at Zhao Xuer's house, and as soon as they entered, a strong smell of blood hit them, mixed with a trace of an unknown stench.

"How can there be such a strong stench?" The resident who came with them frowned, pinched his nose, and fanned it with his hand.

When they saw the two horribly mutilated corpses lying on the ground, they instantly understood.

Some people couldn't stand the visual impact and covered their mouths, running outside to vomit.

The two corpses on the ground were none other than the old man and his daughter.

"My God, Grandpa Liu and his daughter are dead?!"

Everyone then looked at Grandpa Liu, who was standing there.

"Then who is he?"

Upon hearing the voices questioning him, Grandpa Liu, who was standing at the front of the crowd (or rather, the monster in disguise), instantly felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

He quietly touched his stomach.

It ate them both, leaving not even a bone fragment, and cleaned up all the traces. How come the corpses are here again?

Zhao Xuer looked at him, pointed at the two corpses on the ground, and said coldly, "What is your explanation?"

"This...this must be a trick! You must be behind this!"

"Is this your explanation? A strange, corpse, a beast!"

Everyone was filled with fear, and those who had been standing next to him quickly moved away.

"Is he the strange beast that was chasing after Miss Zhao?"

"Alien zombies? I've never heard of this kind of zombie before."

Zhao Xuer explained, "It is one of the types of zombies created by Fang Yanqing, a combination of zombie and zombie beast."

"He is the alien beast that Fang Yanqing sent to silence me. He is good at creating illusions. Last time, he transformed into an ordinary person and swaggered past the base with me while I was unconscious."

“Grandpa Liu and his daughter witnessed him committing the crime and were silenced by him.” Tears welled up in Zhao Xu’er’s eyes. “And it was planning to eat them.”

She pounded her chest in anguish, "I hate myself for having the ability to heal but not being able to save them, for letting them be implicated and lose their lives."

Tears streamed down her face as she collapsed to the ground in anguish. "I couldn't save them. The only thing I could do in the end was to keep their bodies intact."

"I risked appearing to tell everyone the truth, firstly because I didn't want everyone to be deceived and used as pawns by the real culprit, and secondly to lure out the alien beasts that were chasing me."

Instantly, the strange corpse beast that had transformed into Grandpa Liu became the target of everyone's anger.

"Damn it, you actually exposed me!" The alien beast's face turned sinister, and its eyes stared at Zhao Xuer as if it wanted to tear her apart.

"What? Do you want to kill me again in front of everyone?" Zhao Xuer glared at him angrily.

"Grab him, don't let him get away!"

Someone in the crowd shouted this, and instantly some people with supernatural abilities released their powers. Although the shout was to grab him, everyone put in their best effort and used their full strength.

Before the hallucinatory purple smoke from the alien beast could be released, a deluge of supernatural power surged towards it. Just as it was about to be killed, a crimson vortex suddenly appeared on the ground, from which pillars of blood shot out, enveloping the beast and shielding it from all attacks.

At this moment, purple smoke spread out, obscuring everyone's vision. When the purple smoke dissipated, the strange corpse beast had already disappeared.

"He actually managed to escape!" The residents present were all indignant.

Manxue walked to Zhao Xuer's side and helped her up.

"Sister Xu'er, why don't you come with us? If it comes again, Li Zai and I will do our best to protect you."

"Yes, Sister Xu'er, why don't you come with us?"

Zhao Xuer smiled gratefully, then shook her head and refused, saying, "Thank you, but I can't involve you. Don't worry, I'll hide in a very safe place, and someone will protect me."

"In that case, we won't force you. But if you need our help, Sister Xu'er, please feel free to come to us."

"Thank you."

"Look, everyone, look at that group of zombies!" came a shout from outside.

Everyone came outside and looked in that direction, only to see hordes of zombies leaping into the base, startling pedestrians who screamed repeatedly. But the zombies bypassed the crowd and headed towards the special zone.

"Are those zombies heading towards the base chief's house?"

"On the special zone side, only the base chief and the new red-rank ability user live there. I don't know who they're looking for."

"Isn't it said that the base chief is the one who created the zombie virus? We must go after him."
