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

Liu Yu stared at Chi Feiyan's wounds in silence for a moment, then slowly looked into her eyes and said calmly without expression:

"If I've caused you suffering, I apologize, and I don't care how you treat me. But why did you have to hurt Ling Mu!"

As she spoke, she secretly reached into her pocket for a dagger, and as her words fell, the gleaming dagger stabbed towards Chi Feiyan.

"Watch out!" Xing Wuxiu noticed her movement and quickly warned her.

Just as the knife tip was about a centimeter away from Chi Feiyan's carotid artery, she grabbed his wrist and stopped it.

Undeterred, Liu Yu tried her best to stab her again, but Chi Feiyan, an ability user, was superior to her in every aspect. In the blink of an eye, the dagger was knocked away.

Chi Feiyan stood up and kicked Liu Yu to the ground. She took a step back and sneered, "You overestimating yourself."

"Blame it on your love for him. You'll be in unbearable pain if he dies. And blame it on the fact that he happens to be the base commander. If I want to ascend to the throne of power, I must trample him under my feet—crush him to death!"

Suddenly, crimson smoke slowly rose from around Liu Yu and Chi Feiyan.

"You seem to miss Ling Mu a lot. How about I let you see him now?"

Beneath the crimson mist, Liu Yu stared resentfully at Chi Feiyan's eyes, which were as cold as if they had been tempered with ice.

A moment later, Liu Yu slowly closed her eyes and fainted on the ground, and the fog disappeared.

Chi Feiyan turned around and slowly walked to the chair and sat down, looking down at Liu Yu from her high position, watching her expression closely.

Only when Liu Yu's face showed pain and her body began to struggle did Chi Feiyan look at Xing Wuxiu and say, "Amplify her pain."

"I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. The mental and physical torture wasn't enough, you had to double it."

Her special ability, Crimson Illusion, can evoke evil and fear in people. If someone is pulled into the fabricated illusion, they will be tormented by all kinds of negative emotions, and the pain in their heart will be reflected in their body in the same way.

The dual torment of body and mind will soon lead to a painful death.

Although Xing Wuxiu was complaining, his actions were not hesitant at all. He took a few steps to Liu Yu and released his second superpower - nerve control.

Soon, Liu Yu's expression became increasingly painful, and she kept groaning in pain, with a thin layer of sweat appearing on her forehead.

“Being soft-hearted is not the way I, Chi Feiyan, am.”

Xing Wuxiu knew her temperament well. He raised an eyebrow and walked to her side, quietly watching with her the person lying on the ground struggling in pain.

A few minutes later, Liu Yu's face was covered in tears, and her struggling movements became much less intense. Just then, Chi Feiyan released the illusion from her confinement.

"Why did you stop?" Xing Wuxiu asked her curiously.

"Letting her die is too easy for her; a fate worse than death is the best punishment for her."

As she stood up to leave, she said, "Okay, I'm going to rest now. Could you please take out the trash here?"

Xing Wuxiu looked at the eight people lying haphazardly on the ground and suddenly felt a headache coming on. "Hey, do you really consider me your subordinate? What happened to equality?"

However, all he received in response was the sound of the door closing and footsteps walking away.

Xing Wuxiu sighed helplessly, "Old Chi, next time I'll go back to sleep too, I'm not going to clean up your mess."

……

Cang Xingyue followed Zhou Chengyin and found Liu Yu in a deserted lawn.

The person was barely breathing, clinging to life with only a breath left; their fingertips were a bloody mess, their nails broken and turned outwards.

Cang Xingyue frowned. She had only been a few steps behind her before, and she couldn't find her. She had searched several places and even went back to her house, but she still couldn't find her.

The reunion turned out to be in such a tragic state.

Cang Xingyue stepped forward and used her time-manipulation ability to restore her body to its healthy state.

Although her injuries had healed, Liu Yu remained motionless with a blank stare.

"Where did you go?" Cang Xingyue asked tentatively.

Liu Yu didn't reply; she remained silent, her appearance like that of a soulless puppet, devoid of life.

I don't know what she went through, but right now she probably just wants to be alone and quiet.

After a while, Cang Xingyue asked again, "Do you want to go home?"

This time, Liu Yu finally reacted and nodded.

Cang Xingyue picked her up and carried her all the way back to her home.

"Thank you, I'm tired, I'll go and rest now."

Liu Yu spoke softly to Cang Xingyue, and tried to smile at her, but the intense weariness in her heart prevented her from succeeding.

Cang Xingyue looked at her quietly for a moment. Since they met, Liu Yu had kept many things from her, and she still had no idea about her.

However, she didn't bring it up herself, as she wasn't close enough to interfere in her affairs and didn't want to meddle.

"I hope you won't do anything foolish." After saying this, Cang Xingyue left Liu Yu's house with Zhou Chengyin.

"You two know each other?" Zhou Cheng asked after they had walked a short distance.

"Not familiar with them, I only know their names."

Zhou Cheng nodded and began to pour out his troubles to her.

"Your sudden disappearance really worried that brute. He kept urging me on the way and kept threatening to steal my powers."

"He almost drained my superpowers."

"A brute?" That's a really new term.

"Yeah, your boyfriend... I don't even want to talk about him. He has a temper like a powder keg, he's a big, clumsy guy, and he's as rough as a brute."

Cang Xingyue couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard his description of Lu Siyan.

"If you talk about him like that, I'll tell him when he gets back."

"Hey, you can't talk about this, of course, I'm not afraid of him." Zhou Cheng wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead, and the last sentence he uttered sounded inexplicably guilty.

Previously, when she was looking for Liu Yu, she happened to meet Lu Siyan and Zhou Chengyin, who were also looking for her. Before they could exchange more than a few words, Yun Jiang arrived with a message.

It was said that Shen Wei had been seriously injured while traveling and was now on the verge of death, so Lu Siyan went back first, and Le Yuan and the others followed him back as well.

Hopefully, Lu Siyan's brother, Shen Wei, will get through this dangerous situation safely.

"Where do we go now?" Zhou Chengyin asked, looking at the empty streets.

"I don't know, he'll probably end up on the streets."

"what?"

……

Liu Yu sat in front of the dressing table, dressed in a red wedding gown, her face adorned with exquisite makeup.

She had a smile on her face, like a bride waiting to be married.

"Ling Mu, you promised to marry me, and now I'm coming to fulfill that promise."

"Don't try to renege on your promise later, I've dressed up especially for you."

Liu Yu sat up, picked up a lit red candle from the side, and threw it on the ground.

The ground was covered in spilled wine, and the flames shot up the moment they came into contact with the fire.

She smiled as she looked at the bright firelight, as if it were not a danger that would take her life, but rather the red carpet of her wedding day.

Liu Yu carried two wine cups and slowly walked to the center of the flames. She held one cup out to her and poured it onto the ground, while holding the other cup in front of her and pouring it onto the ground.

"Ling Mu, let's drink our nuptial wine on the way."

With a happy smile on her face, Liu Yu looked at the handsome face that appeared in the firelight before her; it was the lover she had been longing for.

He reached out his hand to her with a gentle smile and nodded.

Liu Yu put down her wine glass and reached out to shake his hand.

The wine glass fell to the ground and shattered with a crash, and fierce flames instantly spread to every corner, as if a giant beast were devouring the house.

As the fire recedes, everything in the house is wiped out, leaving only ashes, which will eventually turn to dust.
