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

He pretended to be worried and walked over to her, grabbing her arm.

"Yu Shuang, stop fooling around. If you're injured, you should go to the infirmary."

"If you do this, people might mistakenly think I'm going to do something to you."

She smiled apologetically at the people around her and said, "Sorry, we're old friends."

"I just went to see her. She was very happy and excitedly ran over to open the door for me. But she slipped and her shoulder got stuck in a very sharp ornament. Her back was also burned by hot oil."

Qiao Yushuang looked at her in shock: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ignoring her, he continued, "I urged her to go to the infirmary, but she wouldn't listen and was afraid of the pain, so I had no choice but to take her there by force."

The residents seemed to suddenly understand and began to persuade Qiao Yushuang.

"If you're injured, you need to go to the infirmary; there's no time to lose."

"Guard Chief Cang is doing this for your own good. Hurry up and go with her."

"That's right. My child is also afraid of pain. Every time he gets hurt and I have to take him to the infirmary, he screams for help."

Qiao Yushuang shouted excitedly, "Don't believe her! She's the one who hurt me! She tried to kill me!"

He sighed helplessly, "She was chased by zombies and fell into a cesspool. She was soaked in it for a whole day. I searched for her for a whole day. After I pulled her out, I found that she had been driven crazy by the stench."

"She has these episodes every now and then, mistaking me for a zombie chasing her. Sigh, we've been friends for a long time, and seeing her like this really breaks my heart."

Qiao Yushuang's older brother suddenly took a step back in disgust and fanned himself in front of his nose: "Oh, I see. That explains her behavior this morning."

"I knew it! How could Guard Chief Cang be a vicious person?"

Seeing that no one believed her, Qiao Yushuang became anxious: "She's lying! I didn't fall into a cesspool! I wasn't made stupid by the stench! I'm perfectly smart!"

"Didn't you see the injuries on my body? Those scars were inflicted by her."

He sighed helplessly: "Weren't those injuries all self-inflicted when you had an episode? You said there were zombies on your back and you wanted to beat them to death, and you'd hit anyone who tried to stop you."

Then, feigning a hurt expression, she said, "Yu Shuang, it's one thing for you to treat me like a zombie trying to kill you, but now you're saying I hit you. I'm really heartbroken."

After saying that, she clutched her chest, pretending to be heartbroken.

"We're good old friends, why would I hit you?"

Qiao Yushuang roared, "Cang Xingyue! Don't go too far!"

He walked up to her, pretending to straighten her clothes, and whispered with a smile in her ear, "I'm being unreasonable? Isn't this the same tactic you used on me? I'm just returning the favor."

Qiao Yushuang was furious. Her fierce gaze fell on the little boy in the crowd, and she stretched out her silver string to wrap around his neck.

He shouted into the crowd, "Make her let me go! Or I'll strangle him!"

As the silver string tightened, the little boy's face turned red, and he opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound.

The child's parents panicked and pleaded with Cang Xingyue, "Guardian Cang, please release her and save my child!"

Cang Xingyue's face instantly turned cold, her icy gaze fixed on Qiao Yushuang, and she gripped the Blood Cherry Blade, ready to sever the Silver String.

In an instant, six more residents had silver strings wrapped around their necks, spaced far apart so that they couldn't all be cut off at once.

"You dare try cutting it! If you cut one, I'll strangle one of them right now!"

The residents who were being strangled prayed to Sousei-getsu by their family and friends.

"Guard Captain Cang, please release her immediately!"

He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Okay."

Sheathed the long sword and removed the water restraints from Qiao Yushuang's body.

As soon as she was freed from her restraints, Qiao Yushuang turned and ran.

He cut off the silver strings wrapped around the residents' necks and then went after Qiao Yushuang.

Before Qiao Yushuang had run far, a wall of water rose in front of her. She immediately turned around, only to be blocked by a wall of water behind her, as well as on both sides.

He walked up to her.

"Do you feel guilty? Why are you running away in such a hurry?"

"Azure Star Moon, you're like a persistent ghost!"

Flames ignited beneath Qiao Yu's feet, instantly scalding her and causing her to shuffle back and forth.

"You'd better hurry up, or you'll have to crawl."

Along the way, Qiao Yushuang could only hop back and forth, which looked quite comical.

A cheerful, youthful voice suddenly echoed in my mind.

"Hello, host, I've kept you waiting! I'll submit your task now."

"Mission to resist the zombie horde completed. Reward: Survival Points (2 points)"

"...Who are you?"

"I'm your adorable system! Waaah, don't you remember me, host?"

"..." What cryptocurrency is making a move?

"Haha, I forgot to tell you, host, that this system has been upgraded and can now switch between multiple personalities."

"You can level up?"

"Of course, this system will also improve as the host becomes stronger."

"So what kind of personality switching function are you talking about?"

"You can switch the system's voice and personality, with five personality options: mature, sad, passionate, aloof, and dramatic."

"So which one is it now?"

"enthusiasm."

"Switch your personality to mature."

After a while, an old man's voice echoed in my mind.

"Hello, host. I am a mature system."

"..." Isn't this a bit too mature?

They led Qiao Yushuang to the infirmary and arrived at Yu Lian's ward, where they saw Tu Ying inside.

She pushed the door open and went inside, but Qiao Yushuang stopped in front of the door and did not go in.

He turned around and gave her a push.

She stumbled and fell to her knees.

The people in the ward looked over when they heard the noise.

"The arsonist has been found. Bring him to Yu Lian for your disposal."

Qiao Yushuang stood up, and because her feet were hot, she could only switch between her two legs and hop from side to side.

Even now, she still tries to argue: "It wasn't me, she forced me to come."

Yu Sheng glared at her: "You're Qiao Yushuang? Tu Ying just told us that he lent you a piece of clothing containing the key."

"You took the opportunity to use the key to enter Xingyue's house and steal clothes, then set fire to my sister's house, and finally framed Xingyue, didn't you?!"

Qiao Yushuang's face was stiff.

Why is this not what we expected? They didn't suspect Cang Xingyue at all?

Wouldn't I have wasted my time?

"I...I..." She was speechless for a moment, not knowing what excuse to make up to get away with it.

Their gazes fell upon Tu Ying, as if they had seen a savior.

“Tuying, I didn’t take your key, I didn’t steal anything, and I didn’t set fire. You must have the wrong person.”

“Tuying, you have to believe me. You saw what they did to me this morning.”

Pointing at Cang Xingyue, he said, "It's all her fault. She has never liked me and has always made trouble for me. Now she's forcing me to be the scapegoat."

She suddenly burst into tears: "Waaah... Why are you doing this to me? I didn't do anything, yet I've been bullied and abused, and now I'm being forced to take the blame."

He roared again, "I didn't do it, I just didn't do it!"

"You've already admitted it to me, so what are you still trying to argue about now?"

Qiao Yushuang wailed and roared, "You forced me to do that! I had no choice but to be tortured into confessing in order to protect myself!"
