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

"I want to know why they can't tolerate Xingran."

Cang Xingyue sat lazily on the sofa, her legs crossed and propped up on the coffee table, toying with the Blood Cherry Blade in her hand, her eyes as cold as blades.

Sensing the faint murderous aura emanating from her, Yu Sheng swallowed hard.

...two months ago.

After the man in the red cloak left with the mutated zombie, Qu Xingran, who had absorbed too much mutated energy, could not bear it and coughed up a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground. The pain, as if his body was about to explode, made him curl up involuntarily.

Yu Sheng's eyes were filled with worry, and she weakly called out to him, "Xingran..."

The residents who had been hiding in the base came out and gathered together when they saw that the crisis had passed. They saw Qu Xingran just as he had absorbed the mutated zombie.

At that moment, a male voice rang out from the crowd, trembling with fear: "He...he is the Zombie King!"

The crowd erupted in uproar upon hearing this.

"What? Tiger, are you serious?"

Biao Hu said eagerly, "I've heard descriptions of the Zombie King. The Zombie King can command zombies and absorb their energy to aid itself!"

Think about it, besides a zombie king of a higher rank, who else could absorb the energy of a mutated zombie? At least we humans can't absorb zombie energy!

"Hearing you say that, I also think he must be the Zombie King! The ones we've seen before all gained zombie energy by devouring others, but he doesn't. This is clearly a zombie of a higher level than a mutated zombie!"

"That's right! Whenever it was his turn to be on duty, either the zombies wouldn't come or they would come and then leave. Also, he always recovered quickly from his injuries. This is definitely suspicious!"

Biao Hu continued, "He just absorbed zombie energy. Whether he's the Zombie King or not, he's still a zombie! We can't let him live!"

"Yes! We can't let him stay in the base! Kick him out!"

Qu Xingran's vision gradually blurred. He supported himself with his hands and slowly stood up. He shook his somewhat dizzy head and walked unsteadily to Yu Sheng's side.

Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she forced a smile: "Sheng Sheng... your wound must hurt a lot, right? Bear with it for a bit... I'll take you to the infirmary right away."

Seeing his forced smile, Yu Sheng felt a pang of heartache for him. "Are you stupid? You're the one who's more seriously injured, yet you still come to care about me."

He picked her up, trying his best to keep his body steady so as not to fall.

"I've said it before, you'll always be my number one priority."

Upon reaching the base gate, he was blocked by walls of flesh, forcing him to stop.

"Get out of here! The base doesn't welcome a zombie like you!" they shooed him away.

Feeling unwell and worried about Yu Sheng's injuries, he didn't want to get entangled with them any longer. He coldly warned, "Since you know I'm the Zombie King, then don't mess with me! Get out of my way!"

At this moment, four zombies came over, lifted the unconscious Tang Chen and Yu Lian, and slowly moved them to the front of the base.

The residents blocking the door were immediately frightened and ran away, allowing Qu Xingran to enter the base smoothly.

"My God! He actually dared to come in, and even brought zombies with him! As the zombie king, he'll get us sooner or later!"

"Kill him! We must not let him harm people!"

They picked up stones from the ground and threw them at Qu Xingran. The stones hit him, breaking his head, and bright red blood dripped down his cheeks onto Yu Sheng's shoulder.

Yu Sheng raised her hand to cover Qu Xingran's bleeding forehead and shouted at the group of residents, "Stop! Stop it! Don't hurt him anymore!"

The group seemed to have gone mad, ignoring her shouts. They pelted Qu Xingran with stones while yelling for her to get out.

"Sheng Sheng, I'm fine, don't worry." He raised his arm to protect Yu Sheng's head, and didn't forget to comfort her.

After taking the person to the medical room, Qu Xingran could no longer hold on and collapsed heavily to the ground. The four zombies then killed each other in succession.

"Xingran, Xingran!" Yu Sheng struggled to get up from the bed, but was pulled back by the doctor.

"You are badly injured, so please don't move around too much or you will aggravate your wounds. Guard Captain Qu, we will take care of you, so please don't worry."

Two nurses came and helped Qu Xingran up and put her on the bed.

After several days of treatment and thanks to the strong physique of the superhumans, Yu Sheng and the other two have recovered.

The doctor looked at Qu Xingran, who was still fast asleep, with a troubled expression and shook his head.

“Base Commander Yu Sheng, we are also at a loss. Guard Chief Qu’s body is not like that of an ordinary person. We have checked and found no internal injuries. His external injuries have also healed, but he is always unconscious and we can’t find any reason.”

"Sigh, okay, I understand," Yu Sheng replied helplessly, her gaze never leaving Qu Xingran's face.

After the doctor left, Yu Sheng took Qu Xingran's hand and rubbed it against her face, "Xingran, please wake up soon..."

"Something terrible has happened!" A young nurse rushed over in a flurry of activity.

"what happened?"

"Base Commander Yu Sheng, there's a group of people outside the medical room making a racket and wanting to come in. They're saying that Guard Commander Qu is the Zombie King and they want to kill him. Base Commander Yu Sheng, is that true? Guard Commander Qu, is he really...?"

He interrupted her, frowning in displeasure: "Alright, stop talking. Whether Xingran is human or the Zombie King, he has never harmed anyone in the base!"

She got up and left the ward, instructing the nurse, "Keep an eye on Xingran for me. I'll be right back."

The young nurse nodded blankly.

Outside the gate, a group of residents, some with hunting rifles, carried them, while others carried shovels and other tools. Several medical personnel were blocking those trying to force their way in.

When Yu Sheng arrived, she used thorny vines to block the door.

He glanced at the crowd and asked, "What are you all planning to do?"

Biao Hu, who had previously identified Qu Xingran as the Zombie King, spoke first: "What else can we do? Of course, we're here to get rid of the Zombie King. As the acting base leader, you should come with us to eliminate the Zombie King!"

Yu Sheng sneered: "My man, you'll have to get past me first if you want to touch him!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a row of man-eating flowers quickly sprouted in front of the crowd, and the troublemaking residents immediately retreated in fright.

"As the acting base commander, you're not setting a good example and you're even protecting the zombie king! You're unworthy of your position! You'd better step aside! Otherwise, don't blame everyone for being rude to you!"

The thorny vines immediately entangled the resident who had just spoken.

Yu Sheng stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar: "If I'm not worthy, are you? If you're not convinced, come and fight me! I'll give you three moves, and if you win, I'll give you the acting base commander position!"

Biao Hu looked at the woman in front of him, who was fiercely grabbing his collar, and felt a little scared, but he was still unconvinced: "You've got the guts..."

"Snapped!"

She slapped him on the head: "I know I'm capable, you don't need to tell me! And you're being rude to me? You think you're so great, huh? Want to put your hands on your hips for a bit?"

"You!" Biao Hu glared angrily at Yu Sheng.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Yu Sheng slapped Biao Hu three times with all her might, and Biao Hu's face immediately swelled up, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Then she flung him away and wiped her hands in disgust, as if they were dirty.

He glared at the crowd: "Who else wants to come and fight me?"

The troublemaking residents, realizing they couldn't afford to offend her, could only leave dejectedly, but they didn't give up...

They burned down Qu Xingran's residence. Several times, when Yu Sheng was away, they disguised themselves as medical staff and tried to harm Qu Xingran, but they all happened to be there when he was in the form of a child, so they did not recognize him.

Sometimes, poisonous snakes would be secretly released into Qu Xingran's ward, but Yu Sheng always managed to eliminate them.
