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

Cang Xingyue squatted on the roof, holding a trowel and other tools. Zhou Chengyin stood on the ground, holding a tile, ready to hand it to her. Behind him was some mixed cement.

"Are you sure you can do it? Or should I do it?"

"Stop pretending. Who was it that was climbing the ladder with their legs shaking like a sieve?"

Cang Xingyue took the tile, applied cement, and began patching the hole in the roof.

Because they couldn't afford food, the two had to find jobs to earn some Base Coins.

They happened to come across an elderly couple whose roof was broken. The elderly couple had difficulty moving around and hadn't been able to fix it, so the two of them took on the job.

The elderly couple promised to give them 20 base coins after the repairs were completed, which is considered a generous amount in the base.

Twenty base coins are enough for them to buy twenty steamed buns, enough for several meals.

"Bring some more cement." Cang Xingyue put down the cement bucket with the rope attached.

After Zhou Cheng shoveled two spades of cement, he gestured for her to pull it up.

After some time, the roof was repaired, and Cang Xingyue packed up her things and teleported to the ground.

Just then, the old lady came out carrying two bowls of soup.

"Children, stop working for a moment. I just cooked some mung bean soup, let me bring it out for you to try," the old woman said with a smile.

The two thanked them and accepted the gift.

"I was a little hungry, and your mung bean soup is just in time." Zhou Cheng blew on the soup and took a few sips.

Cang Xingyue didn't rush to drink. "Auntie, the few holes in the roof have been patched up. Do you think it's okay? If not, I'll fix it again."

The old woman walked a little further away, looked at the roof, and then nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, I didn't expect you to have this skill."

After saying that, he took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, counted out twenty base coins, and handed them to her.

Cang Xingyue accepted the twenty green bases.

After finishing the mung bean soup, the two left.

On the way, Cang Xingyue handed ten of the base coins to Zhou Chengyin.

Here, your wages.

Zhou Cheng happily put the money into his pocket.

"If it's convenient, could you please help me find that person again?"

It's been a day and a night since we arrived in Beimu, and we still haven't found out where Fang Yanqing is.

Zhou Chengyin glanced at her. Didn't he just take her home last night? It wasn't far, why did he need to use GPS?

Although he felt it was a bit unnecessary, he readily agreed and began to locate the site.

After a while, Zhou Cheng scratched his head in confusion, "That's strange, why can't I find any trace of it?"

"What?! It's gone?" Cang Xingyue exclaimed in surprise.

If we can't locate Fang Yanqing, finding him will be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it will take even more time. What should we do?

"Yes, suddenly we couldn't locate it anymore, there wasn't a trace left."

Seeing that Cang Xingyue's face suddenly turned gloomy, Zhou Chengyin quickly said, "Why don't you go to her house and take a look?"

"His house? I just left his house yesterday..." Cang Xingyue suddenly realized, "Are you sure you didn't locate the wrong person?"

"Isn't it that girl?"

"It's not Liu Yu, it's Fang Yanqing."

"Fang Yanqing?!" Zhou Cheng took a step back in surprise. "That bad guy you mentioned earlier wouldn't happen to be the base chief of Nanqi, would he...?"

"Ah."

"Wow!" Zhou Chengyin looked incredulous, unable to process the information for a moment, and paced back and forth in shock.

"I was thinking of joining Nanqi before, and now you're telling me the base commander is the big villain!"

"Is this news true? Are you sure you're not mistaken?" He still couldn't quite believe it.

"With countless lives lost, how could I admit my mistake, and how could I dare to admit my mistake!"

"I heard that the Nanqi base commander is a pretty good person, how could he be a bad person? I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I don't really believe it based on your word alone..." He still held a skeptical attitude.

"You can go to Nanqi and ask the residents there, or go to Dongliu and see how he tricked all the residents into mutating and dying, leaving the base completely empty now."

As Cang Xingyue thought of the residents who had died tragically, and how the culprit was still believed in and protected by others, a faint anger rose in her heart.

"Everyone at Dongliu Base is dead?"

One shocking piece of news after another left Zhou Cheng speechless, his mouth agape in astonishment.

Cang Xingyue didn't explain further, and directly grabbed his collar to teleport to Dongliu.

The once bustling base has become desolate and lonely, with no trace of life except for mosquitoes and weeds.

Cang Xingyue pointed to the small black mountain in front of her, "See that? Do you know what it is?"

The scene before him suddenly changed, and Zhou Chengyin didn't react for a moment. He stared blankly in the direction she was pointing and asked, "What is that?"

“That place used to be a mountain of corpses, and the ashes after they were burned can also be called ashes.”

Zhou Cheng was so shocked that he couldn't speak. How many people's ashes would it take to pile up a small mountain taller than himself?

He looked at Cang Xingyue. Could what she said be true? Did the Nanqi base chief really take so many lives?

"How...how do you know all this?"

She looked at him and said seriously, "Because I am the base commander of Dongliu."

Zhou Chengyin fell silent. He had indeed heard of the Dongliu Base Chief, since she was a rare water and fire ability user and a woman who had become the base chief. He naturally heard a lot about such novel things.

"Do you have fire as your special ability?" I've seen her use water abilities before, but I've never seen her use fire abilities.

Upon hearing this, Souseizuki conjured flames in his right hand and water waves in his left.

Do I need to prove it again?

Cang Xingyue lowered her hand and withdrew her supernatural power, calmly saying, "Whether you choose to help me is your right. I won't force you, but I hope you don't protect the wrong person."

"Don't forget, you once said that you only stand with justice. Since you said that, I hope you can really do it."

Zhou Cheng lowered his head, momentarily at a loss for words, "I..."

"You've helped me find someone before, so thank you. I don't want to bother you again now. Where are you going? I can give you a ride."

Zhou Cheng didn't respond, and Cang Xingyue didn't rush him. After a while, he suddenly looked up at her solemnly, "Let's go back!"

“I’ve thought it over carefully. Although we haven’t known each other for long, I feel that you are a good person and I can trust you.”

"However, there is no absolute evidence to prove that what you said is true, so I cannot directly label the Nanqi base chief as a bad person."

"So I will only help you find the other person, and I will not interfere with anything else. You can settle your own grievances."

"Okay." Helping her find someone is enough; he doesn't need to do anything else.

The two returned to the North Dusk base.

Zhou Cheng helped her locate Fang Yanqing's position, which was right next to the base chief's house.

After that, they temporarily joined the North Dusk Base and each got a place to live in the superhuman area.
