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

"After that, I fled with the villagers. During this time, many villagers were infected and turned into zombies. In the end, only a dozen or so people were left."

"I never expected that today would be all of them..."

He slammed his fist on the car seat as he spoke, his eyes filled with self-reproach.

Looking into his self-reproachful eyes through the car mirror, Cang Xingyue said in a deep voice:

"This is not your fault, you don't need to blame yourself. You protected them all the way and fought against the zombie horde on your own. You've already done a great job."

“If I hadn’t gone down the mountain, the zombie horde wouldn’t have been drawn there, and the people in that village would have been safe.”

"Perhaps this has nothing to do with you at all. Perhaps the zombie horde was originally heading in that direction. Your escape with the villagers actually gave them more time to survive."

"If that village is destined to perish, nothing you do will change anything; the only difference is whether it will perish sooner or later, or in a different way."

Hearing Cang Xingyue's words, Tang Chen felt some comfort in his guilty heart.

"Thank you." Thank you for your comfort.

"We've thanked each other so many times since we first met, and I hope we won't have to say it again."

Tang Chen chuckled and said okay.

"呲-"

The car suddenly stopped, the tires screeching on the ground, and thick smoke billowing from the hood.

Yu Sheng: "What happened to the car?"

Cang Xingyue: "The car broke down. Zhang Dafu rammed the door and damaged it. It can't be driven now. Let's get out and leave."

The four people had only run a few steps after getting out of the car when they heard a loud crash. Turning around, they saw a zombie jump onto the roof of the car with such force that it dented the roof.

This zombie was much taller than a normal zombie, with long arms, long claws, and a long tongue hanging out of its mouth.

The blue veins under the skin were clearly visible, and a few long hairs hung loosely on its head.

Not far from it came the horde of corpses that followed closely behind.

Tang Chen exclaimed in alarm: "Oh no! High-level zombies! They're catching up!"

Just as the four were about to run, the high-level zombie spat out its long tongue covered in slime and charged straight at Yu Sheng. Cang Xingyue lashed out with her long whip and pulled it back, the barbs instantly tearing several gashes in its tongue.

It let out a sharp scream, stared fiercely at Cang Xingyue, then looked at Yu Lian, leaped high and smashed down on her.

Before Yu Lian could unleash her skill to defend herself, Tang Chen blocked it. A gust of wind swept through, lifting the high-level zombie high into the air before slamming it down.

This attack would have been enough to kill an ordinary zombie, but this high-level zombie simply rolled to its feet and glared at them.

Yu Lian glanced at Tang Chen, then lowered her head, a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips.

After this incident, the zombie horde caught up and surrounded the four of them, rushing towards them in an instant.

Tang Chen immediately unleashed his skill, and wind swirled around the four of them, forming a circular shield that kept the zombies out.

The zombies were right in front of them, their sticky, foul-smelling saliva dripping onto the ground, their rotting flesh hanging down and swaying with their movements.

Yu Sheng covered her nose and frowned, suppressing the nausea: "How disgusting."

Yu Lian: "What should we do? Should we rush out?"

Tang Chen: "Give it a try."

The group tried to break through the horde of zombies under their shields, but the dense horde of zombies blocked their way and kept charging towards them.

They couldn't move an inch.

Yu Sheng: "It's too crowded, there's no way to get out."

Cang Xingyue remained expressionless, her eyes cold, and said leisurely, "Since we can't break through, then we'll fight our way out."

"Tang Chen, I'm sorry to trouble you to hang in there."

"it is good."

The group exchanged glances, a tacit understanding forming in their hearts.

Cang Xingyue lashed out with her long whip, knocking away several zombies. Yu Lian summoned several vines that pierced straight through the hearts of the zombies. Yu Sheng used her superpower on a nearby tree, causing the leaves to turn black and hard, flying like blades and cutting the zombies to pieces.

Tang Chen maintained the wind shield, allowing the three of them to safely deal damage.

The four of them slowly made their way out of the encirclement.

The group in the midst of the battle did not notice that the long-tongued zombie was devouring an ordinary zombie, while three other larger zombies stood beside it.

One of them was an unevolved high-level zombie. It was very large, with arms and legs as thick as buckets, but short in stature.

The second one is a high-level evolved zombie that has already completed its evolution. Its blood vessels bulge under its skin, and it has several tentacles like an octopus.

The third one was also a high-level evolved zombie. It was entirely black, with a thick, long tail like a scorpion on its back, and a red stinger at the tip of its tail.

After it had devoured enough, the long-tongued zombie made a gurgling sound from its throat, and its bones twisted in a strange way.

She evolved into a form with a spider-like upper body and a snake-like tail lower body.

She let out a shrill, ear-piercing laugh: "I ate...you...all of you..."

The people who heard the sound looked over and were all shocked.

Yu Sheng: "Oh my god, how did it turn out like this?!"

Tang Chen: "They have evolved."

Upon hearing this, the group felt a sense of despair. They hadn't even broken through the encirclement of zombies, and now several more high-level evolved zombies had appeared, which was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

There were too many zombies, and every time they broke through an opening, another zombie would fill it. After a long battle, the group was clearly exhausted.

Tang Chen's forehead was already beaded with sweat, and his hands were trembling slightly. Due to the prolonged depletion of his supernatural abilities, he was almost unable to maintain the shield.

Yu Lian: "Are we going to die here?"

Cang Xingyue looked at the few high-level evolved zombies, who were still some distance away, and then looked at the open space in front of her. She gripped the thorn whip tightly, her gaze firm, and said calmly, "You will not die."

Thinking she was encouraging everyone, Yu Sheng firmly echoed, "Yes, we definitely won't die."

Cang Xingyue smiled and reached out to pat Yu Sheng's head, then turned to Yu Lian and said, "Please wrap the vines around everyone's waists a few times, including your own."

"it is good."

Yu Lian summoned several vines that wrapped around the waists of the group, and asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"

He turned his head away from her gaze and casually said, "I saw a few zombies with tentacles. I'm afraid everyone will get their stomachs pierced and die a horrible death."

Yu Sheng joked, "Hey, you were just encouraging everyone that they wouldn't die, why are you saying such discouraging things now?"

He chuckled, "Can't I just look weak at the sight of the evolved zombies?"

"Haha..." The group exchanged a smile.

Cang Xingyue stopped laughing and tightened the long whip in her hand, wrapping it around Shang Yulian's waist.

Yu Lian looked puzzled: "What are you trying to do?"

Yu Sheng looked over with surprise, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes: "You big liar, why are you wrapping my sister with a whip? What are you going to do?"

Seemingly sensing what she was about to do, Tang Chen's expression turned serious: "Xingyue...you..."
