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

Arriving at Yu Sheng's house, she knocked on the door but waited for a long time without anyone answering. "Is she not here?" she wondered, when the door opened from the inside.

Yu Sheng was taken aback when she saw the person who came in, then smiled and said, "Xingyue! Come in quickly."

Sitting on the sofa, he accepted the water Yu Sheng offered and glanced around the room. The layout had changed drastically.

Sitting down beside her, Yu Sheng asked, "Xingyue, are you leaving again this time?"

Looking at the person in front of me, I saw that her originally loose, wavy long hair had been tied up, and her favorite red dress had been replaced with a more convenient and conservative casual outfit, giving her a more mature aura.

He put down his water glass and said, "I can only stay for three days at most before I have to leave. Thank you for taking care of the base affairs these past few days."

Yu Sheng waved her hand: "Why are you being so polite with me? I'm part of the base too."

I haven't had a chance to thank you yet for helping my sister last time. I'm so happy that my sister has become the confident and cheerful person she used to be.

"You little fool, you just told me not to stand on ceremony with you, but now you're the one standing on ceremony with me."

Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng couldn't help but chuckle.

"Is everyone okay?"

"Everything is fine. Tang Chen and Tu Ying are still the same as before. My sister is in charge of the planting work at the base every day, and she is quite satisfied with her job. The only thing that is not so good is Xing Ran..." A look of sorrow appeared on her face.

He hurriedly asked, "What happened to Xingran?"

Yu Sheng sighed and stood up: "Come with me."

She got up and followed him into the study. Yu Sheng walked to the bookshelf and moved a book. The bookshelf then moved to reveal the wall behind it, and she pressed her hand on the blank wall.

A wall in front of them moved back two fist-widths and then began to move to the left. Yu Sheng went in first, and the wall lamps on both sides lit up one after another.

As Yu Sheng walked, she said, "This basement was built by me for Xing Ran."

The footsteps of the person following them stopped, and their gazes, full of ambiguity, were fixed on Yu Sheng's back.

Sensing the person behind her stop, Yu Sheng turned around in confusion: "What's wrong?"

He frowned slightly, somewhat hesitant: "You... imprisoned Xingran?"

Seeing her like this, Yu Sheng quickly explained, "Big liar, don't overthink it. I didn't mistreat Xingran. I love him too much to even think about it."

I hid him here to protect him. His identity as the zombie king has been discovered, and everyone hates him and wants to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Cang Xingyue's face turned cold: "Who gave them the audacity to treat him like this!"

Yu Sheng sighed deeply: "This matter cannot be explained in a few words. Let me tell you slowly later."

As they spoke, they arrived at an iron gate, and Yu Sheng took out a key and opened it.

The room wasn't very big, containing only a table, chairs, and a bed. A small figure lay curled up on the bed, sleeping quietly, with chains on his wrists.

"Xingran," she called softly, but the person on the bed remained still with her eyes closed.

Looking at Yu Sheng, he asked, "How did Xingran become like this?" He had reverted to the dark-skinned appearance he had when they first met.

"This story begins two months ago. Two months ago, a mutated zombie with superpowers suddenly appeared. It was unlike any other mutated zombie we had ever seen before."

Its appearance is still human-like. If it weren't for its bluish-gray skin and lack of reason, one would really think it was a superhuman.

It came to the base and wreaked havoc, killing many of the base's residents. None of us could stop it or kill it.

At first, we worked together to cut it in two, but in no time its severed body grew back, turning from one into two. Then one of them would be devoured by the other.

After absorbing it, its strength increased greatly, and its body became as hard as rock, making it difficult to penetrate. All four of us were severely injured, and Tang Chen even exhausted his superpower.

Just as the mutated zombie was about to continue its slaughter, Xingran used all his strength to absorb the zombie's energy. It was at that moment that Xingran's identity as the Zombie King was discovered.

The mutated zombie, weakened by the absorption of its energy, was just about to die when a person in a red cloak appeared, whipped up a sandstorm, and took it away.

Xingran managed to bring us back despite our serious injuries, and then he collapsed completely. After that, he would sometimes turn into a child and then forget about us.

Sometimes he reverts to his adult form, but he suffers excruciating pain all over his body. Because of the intense pain, he loses control and hurts himself. To prevent him from getting hurt, I have to chain his hands.

Yu Sheng sat down by the bed and held Qu Xingran's hand, her eyes filled with tears, her voice choked with emotion: "Sometimes I think, if he didn't suffer when he became a child, it wouldn't matter even if he forgot me."

Just then, the person on the bed moved her fingers and slowly woke up. Seeing Yu Sheng's face covered in tears, she opened her sleepy eyes and reached out to wipe away her tears.

"Sister Sheng Sheng, why are you crying? Did Hei Bao misbehave and make you sad? Hei Bao wore this properly today and didn't get hurt." She shook the chain on her hand, her childish voice filled with concern.

Yu Sheng shook her head, but cried even more bitterly.

Qu Xingran hurriedly sat up and wiped away her tears with both hands, flustered and anxious: "Sister Shengsheng, don't cry, don't cry. Sister Shengsheng is a beautiful woman. Although she is beautiful when she cries, her eyes will hurt."

Cang Xingyue stood quietly to the side, not disturbing the two.

After Yu Sheng finished crying, Qu Xingran shifted her attention away from her and noticed Cang Xingyue standing to the side. Her little face immediately lit up with joy: "Sister!"

Her usually aloof face softened into a gentle smile: "You little rascal, are you awake?" She reached out and ruffled his hair.

Qu Xingran chuckled and scratched her head sheepishly, "Sorry, sister, Hei Bao has been feeling very tired lately and often sleeps for a long time."

"Silly boy, go to sleep if you want to, don't be shy."

Yu Sheng picked up the lunchbox from the table: "Xingran, eat your food while you're awake. I made your favorite braised pork."

"Okay, but why are you calling me Xingran again, Sister Shengsheng? Is this name important to you?"

"This name is the name of the person I love. He is a very important person to me."

"Sister Shengsheng, may I meet him?"

Yu Sheng paused for a moment, then smiled gently and said, "You'll see him someday."

Qu Xingran fell asleep again after finishing her meal.

He glanced at the sleeping Qu Xingran, then said to Yu Sheng, "There are some things I want to know."

In order not to disturb the sleeping Qu Xingran, the two decided to go outside to talk. After the two left, a figure appeared in front of Qu Xingran's bed.

The newcomer scoffed, "This brat really doesn't know his own limitations."

He reached out and grasped Qu Xingran's wrist. He wore a ring on his hand, the edges of his sleeves were charred black, and the skin on his hand was reddish.

A red light shone from the palm holding Qu Xingran's hand, while a black light appeared on Qu Xingran's body. The black light was continuously absorbed by the red light, and the furrowed brows of the sleeping person relaxed.

After he finished, he let go of his hands, shook them, wiped them on his clothes, and then disappeared.
