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

Cang Xingyue ran through the forest after escaping the manor, the manor behind her gradually becoming a small dot until it completely disappeared from sight.

Her face was filled with the joy of regaining her freedom. She stopped and rested her hands on her knees, breathing slightly heavily.

She turned back to look in the direction of the manor, "Lu Siyan is gone forever."

Although Lu Siyan had treated her well during their time together, this only applied to his normal moments.

His unpredictable mood swings, sudden outbursts of violence, and morbid madness were enough to make her want to avoid him at all costs.

In his irrational state, he could easily take her life.

After a while, she finally arrived at the wide road. The smooth asphalt road was cracked in some places due to weeds.

At midday, the scorching sun made her face flushed red, and sweat beaded on her forehead, wetting the stray hairs. She stopped and wiped the sweat with her sleeve, then used her hand to shield her head from the sun.

Her eyes darted around, and she licked her dry lips, thinking, "If only I had a means of transportation."

"Roar--"

A deafening roar reached my ears, and a rustling sound came from the tall grass by the roadside.

Cang Xingyue instantly became alert, gripping the Blood Cherry Blade in her hand, her gaze fixed on the swaying grass, and slowly retreating.

The sound just now resembled the roar of a large animal.

Gradually, a brown figure emerged from the grass. It was a large bear, much larger than an average bear.

Its waist was bald, and the exposed flesh was rotting. Foul-smelling, sticky saliva dripped continuously from its open mouth, and the downy hair around its mouth was stained with dried red blood.

Oh no, it's a zombie beast!

Alarm bells rang in Cang Xingyue's mind. She felt that she was probably in grave danger. Even a bear of ordinary size was not to be underestimated, let alone this kind of mindless, destructive, and enormous zombie beast.

The bear-like monster staggered onto the road, seemingly unaware of her presence, and did not immediately rush forward to attack.

Cang Xingyue looked into its eyes and realized that its eyeballs had turned white, and it was clearly unable to see.

Since that's the case, she might be safe if she kept quiet and waited until the zombie beast left.

Cang Xingyue stood still, when suddenly, a rat scurried out from the haystack behind her.

However, this sound immediately caught the attention of the zombie beast. It sniffed the air and realized that Cang Xingyue was there. It immediately ran towards her.

Cang Xingyue quickly took off running. She didn't run into the hidden bushes, but instead chose the wide road.

This zombie beast is blind and relies entirely on its hearing and sense of smell to locate itself.

If it were in the grass, it would inevitably cause the weeds to rustle and make noise, and since the zombie beast emerged from the grass, who knows if there are other dangers lurking inside.

These things are still unknown, so she should try not to gamble and be more conservative by walking on the open road.

If she keeps a certain distance on the road, the sound and smell will gradually fade away, and she will still have a chance to get rid of this zombie beast.

But as it turns out, ideals are often grand, while reality is harsh. Because of its large size, the bear's one step was equivalent to two of hers, making it very difficult to shake it off.

Cang Xingyue turned around and saw the zombie beast getting closer and closer to her, which made her heart jump out of her chest.

"Damn it, what kind of mess have I made? Danger keeps piling up, it's so hard to just stay alive!"

Having just escaped the manor, she encountered a zombie beast. The journey had left her exhausted, and her running slowed down. Suddenly, she stopped and ceased moving forward.

"There's no other way but to fight it out."

Cang Xingyue resolutely turned around, determined to fight the zombie beast to the death.

Whether it's a path to life or a path to death, you'll only know after you've fought for it. If you don't fight, you're just waiting to die.

The bear-like beast roared, its blood-red maw gaping wide, the hot breath from its mouth carrying a foul stench. It swung its fan-like paws toward Cang Xingyue.

Cang Xingyue leaped and rolled into the bushes. She quickly got up, gripped the Blood Cherry Blade, and weaved through the bushes. As the zombie beast turned to follow her into the bushes, she circled around behind it and slashed at it.

As the silver blade flashed through the air, the bear's back was slashed, and the weeds behind it were also cut down.

The zombie beast howled angrily, seemingly provoked, and swung its chest at her again.

Cang Xingyue bent backward, supporting herself with one hand on the ground, and slashed at the throat of the zombie beast with the Blood Cherry Blade in her hand.

Instantly, green blood gushed out, and the zombie beast's neck was cut open, with only half of its flesh and bone still connecting its head.

If it were an ordinary animal, it would have died long ago. But the creature in front of me is a zombie beast that has no sense of pain and has become a walking corpse. Even if I cut it in half, it will never stop attacking as long as it can still move.

The bear-like beast could no longer make a sound, but its attack did not stop.

Cang Xingyue was slapped to the ground, then picked up and thrown onto the road. The rough ground scraped her hands and knees raw.

The zombie beast had already jumped into the air, its fat body about to crash down on her.

Suddenly, the zombie beast seemed to be held back by a force, and paused in mid-air for a moment.

Taking advantage of the opening, Cang Xingyue quickly rolled away. After she got far enough away, the zombie beast landed right where she had just been.

It was as if the brief pause just now was her imagination.

Suddenly she caught sight of a person standing not far away wearing a black cloak. The wide cloak hood only revealed a strong jawline, and the tall figure must have been a man.

Was this the person who helped her just now?

Without giving her time to think, the zombie beast attacked her again.

A will to survive ignited Cang Xingyue's fighting spirit, and she looked at the zombie beast with murderous intent in her eyes.

That's enough.

After a fierce struggle, Cang Xingyue finally severed the head of the zombie beast and plunged the knife into its heart, finally calming the beast down completely.

Although she killed the zombie beast, Cang Xingyue didn't gain any advantage. Her body was covered with wounds of all sizes, and one of her arms was scratched by the zombie beast, leaving it covered in blood.

She now only feels cold and her mind is gradually becoming unclear.

She suddenly remembered that someone had helped her earlier, and she forced herself to stand up and said to that person, "Thank you."

The man paused for a moment, seemingly surprised, but his cold voice quickly followed, "No need, I don't really want to save you either."

After saying that, he turned and left, disappearing from sight in a short while.

Cang Xingyue could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, her consciousness fading. She thought she was probably going to turn into a zombie.

System: "Congratulations, host, you have completed the combat mission and have received a reward of one All-Attribute Enhancement Candy. Would you like to use it now?"

Oh right, she almost forgot she had a mission to complete.

"use."

In a short while, Cang Xingyue felt that the pain in her wounds had eased a lot, her strength had increased a lot, and her consciousness had become much clearer, but the coldness in her body had not diminished.

Although her physical attributes had improved considerably, it only alleviated her discomfort and did not change the fact that she was infected.

System: "The host has completed all the beginner tasks and received a gift pack of two vials of antiviral serum. An abnormality has been detected in the host's body, and one vial of serum will be automatically administered to the host."

As soon as the system finished speaking, her gradually cooling body warmed up, and her blurred consciousness regained its clarity.

Cang Xingyue stood up, thankful that she still had a system that had saved her life.

"Thank you, system."

"The system and the host are one, growing and dying together, so the host need not thank you."

Cang Xingyue walked to the zombie beast's corpse and drew the Blood Cherry Blade.

The moment she drew the Blood Cherry Blade, it emitted a scorching heat, almost causing her to drop it.

"How is this going?"

Just as she was wondering, the Blood Cherry Blade in her hand transformed into a black whip, the blade of which was two fingers thick and covered with sharp barbs, while the handle was three fingers thick.

"Congratulations, host, on evolving a new weapon, the Thorn Whip. This whip is incredibly powerful and can be extended or retracted at will, or its lethality can be controlled."

"But remember, the host's energy is too low right now and cannot summon and use multiple weapons at the same time, otherwise the body will be overloaded, blood vessels will burst, organs will fail and death will occur."

Cang Xingyue nodded to indicate that she understood.

System: "An advanced mission is now assigned to the host: join a survivor team. Upon completion, you will receive 1 survival point. Points can be used to exchange for superpowers. Ten points can be exchanged for one superpower."

Superpowers...

Could she also possess superpowers? This reward was undoubtedly extremely attractive to her.

If she wants to join the team, she can go to the city center, where survivors often appear.

It's quite a distance from here to the city center, and she'll probably have to walk for several days with her injured body.

"What else can I do? Be strong, Cang Xingyue." She lifted her foot and walked unsteadily toward the city center.

Hidden to the side, Lu Siyan's heart clenched upon hearing her words, his eyes filled with pity for her. He wanted to rush over and take her back to the manor, but reason told him he couldn't.

She likes freedom, but she also believes that if I do that, she will hate me.

My initial anger vanished the moment I saw her, leaving only the joy of seeing her again.

He reached out to Le Yuan, who was standing silently to the side, and said, "Clothes."

Le Yuan hesitated for a moment. Was the boss going to find that woman? The one who poisoned him?

After waiting for a while without seeing the clothes handed over, Lu Siyan looked at Le Yuan and repeated, "Bring the clothes here."

Although reluctant, Le Yuan still took off his cloak and handed it to him.

After taking off his cloak, Le Yuan had short black hair and a handsome face full of youthful charm. His figure was similar to Lu Siyan's, the only difference being that he was two centimeters shorter and a little thinner than Lu Siyan.

Lu Siyan put on his cloak, the hood completely covering his face.

He walked towards Cang Xingyue, and when he reached her, he picked her up in his arms.

The suddenly suspended Cang Xingyue was startled and saw that the person who came was the cloaked man.

She was somewhat surprised and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Lu Siyan: "..." You damn woman, you're injured, can't you tell when I'm carrying you?

He didn't reply, he just carried her forward.

"Put me down, I can walk by myself," Cang Xingyue said, trying to jump out of his arms.

Lu Siyan saw through her intention, so he changed to holding her with one hand and knocking her unconscious with a chop to the neck with the other.

"That damn woman is so unruly, she only behaves when you force her." He was both angry and loving towards her, feeling utterly helpless.

As he walked, he released his healing power to heal Cang Xingyue's injuries.

"You damned woman, if you submit to me, I'll protect you. You don't actually have to be so strong."

"..."

"He's injured like this and he's still walking. I don't know where he's going."

Lu Siyan gently placed Cang Xingyue on the ground, covered her with a protective shield, and then teleported away.

A few minutes later, he reappeared in his car.

He opened the car door, lifted Cang Xingyue into the car, stroked her hair, and gently leaned down to kiss her lips.

"You damned woman, I'm only letting you go this time. If we meet again, I won't be able to let you go again."
