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

The residents looked at each other, puzzled.

"What... what's wrong with the base commander?"

"Isn't the base commander out and hasn't returned yet?"

"I'm back today. I saw the base chief going to see Base Chief Yu Sheng when I came back from going out this morning."

"Really? That's great!"

"What's so good about it? They stopped the bounty as soon as they came back, so I can't earn base currency to buy mutation agents."

"..."

The residents started chatting amongst themselves, completely forgetting why they had come there in the first place.

Seeing himself being ignored and left out in the cold, Biao Hu shouted to draw the residents' attention back to him.

"Listen up, everyone! Do you all remember that zombie king? The one we used to respectfully call Chief Guard Qu! Our base leader's younger brother, and Yu Sheng, the acting base leader's lover!"

"Of course we remember, Tiger, what are you trying to say?"

Pointing to the burned-out houses behind him, he cried out in anguish, "Because I kept calling for the zombie king to be driven out for everyone's safety, I have been retaliated against by the two base commanders today!"

She covered her face with her hands, her voice choked with sobs: "To vent her anger for her brother, the base chief of Cangji trapped me inside and set me on fire. If it weren't for my powerful supernatural abilities, I would have been burned to death long ago!"

"What? That can't be right. Chief Cang can't be that kind of person."

"That's right! Last time, when Guard Chief Yu Lian's house was burned down, they said it was Chief Cang who set the fire, but it turned out that it wasn't."

"That's right. Although Chief Cang has fire abilities, you can't just blame her for every house fire, can you? That would be too unfair to the chief."

"Maybe you lit it yourself. People who know you know you smoke regularly. Who knows where you put the spark? Besides, how strong is Chief Cang's fire ability? If you were trapped, how could you get out? It's a joke."

At this moment, Cang Xingyue sat on a large tree in the distance, leaning lazily against the trunk, eating peaches she had picked from the peach orchard in her space, and watching the good show with great interest.

Unexpectedly, this tiger was quite capable, managing to escape.

Her eyes were cold, a smile playing on her lips, as she murmured softly, "I should have increased the flame intensity..."

I'm really looking forward to seeing what other good things he has in store for him. These little tricks are nothing to brag about.

She had protected the base for so long, and as the base leader, there were naturally both those who disapproved of her and those who supported her.

"Let's disperse, let's disperse." The gathered residents made a move to leave.

Biao Hu panicked and quickly shouted to them, "Everyone, don't leave yet! Those two are protecting the zombie king and are attacking the base's residents!"

These two women have sided with the zombies; they are unworthy of their positions and do not deserve to be base leaders! We should remove them from their posts!

I propose that Cang Xingyue step down from her position as base commander! We should remove Yu Sheng from her position as acting base commander! And we must kill Qu Xingran, the zombie king! Otherwise, they will bring disaster to the base sooner or later!

The residents listened quietly as he finished speaking, and then several bursts of laughter erupted from the crowd. The residents who laughed looked at Biao Hu as if he were a fool.

"When the base was in trouble, only the old base chief and his grandson, two superhumans, remained. Thanks to the current base chief and several guards, they have been protecting the base until now."

Although we have all gained superpowers now and are no longer as weak as we were before, no longer needing protection, we will never forget the kindness shown to Chief Cang and the head guards!

"Yes! So what if Chief Guard Qu is the Zombie King? He's not a newly crowned Zombie King. In all our time together, he's never harmed us in the slightest. We have eyes! We have hearts! We don't just have ears for you to hear!"

"Exactly! I really don't understand why some of you are so determined to get rid of him. When that mutated zombie came, if it weren't for Chief Guard Qu's last stand, some of you probably wouldn't be standing here now!"

"Hmph! Base Chief Cang was personally chosen by the old base chief. If she's not worthy, do you? If your brain's been clouded by smoke, you'd better go to the infirmary for a checkup! He tui!"

He spat on Biao Hu's face, then turned and left. The group of people left one after another, and the crowd that had gathered together was reduced by more than half in an instant.

A relieved smile appeared on Cang Xingyue's face as she watched them.

She recognized the people who spoke up for them; these were the veterans of the base, having been there since the five of them joined, and they had all been through thick and thin together.

Biao Hu slowly raised his hand to wipe the spittle off his face. His eyes turned sinister, and he gritted his teeth in anger. The flesh on his face trembled slightly, and the veins on his neck bulged.

At this point, one of the remaining residents stepped forward.

"We're willing to be with you..."

Just then, the system's voice rang in her mind, preventing her from hearing what followed.

"Xingyue, now issue a mission: obtain the alienating agent."

Having not received a system-assigned task in a long time, she paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you going to have it tested?"

"You guessed it! Our Xingyue is so clever." Then he laughed, and because it was an old man's voice, the laughter sounded particularly kind and warm.

He coughed awkwardly and glanced in the direction of Biao Hu before leaving.

Biao Hu and the resident looked at each other and smiled, seemingly reaching some kind of consensus, while the remaining residents cheered happily.

Seeing all this, Cang Xingyue frowned slightly.

What are these people plotting this time?

You are teleported into the space and will reappear in the base market.

Just as I was about to ask someone where Shu Yin was, a young boy's voice came from behind me.

"Hey? Is that you, Base Commander?"

Looking back, I saw a little boy holding a ball.

He asked uncertainly, "Xiao Le?"

"Yes, it's me."

Looking around, he asked, "Xiao Le, what are you doing here all by yourself?"

"I just asked Erxi to play ball, but my aunt and uncle wouldn't let Erxi come out to play."

Nodding: "Xiao Le, do you know someone named Shu Yin in the base?"

Xiao Le exclaimed excitedly, "I know! I know! I heard my parents say that they sell a magical potion that can give you superpowers and make you like Superman!"

Then she pouted, looking dejected: "But my family doesn't have any money. We can't buy this magic potion and become Superman."

He crouched down and patted his head: "Xiao Le, do you know where to buy this magical potion?"

"Yes, I know. Is the base leader going to buy some? Xiao Le can take you."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Xiao Le."

Led by Xiao Le, they made their way through a maze of turns to a house.

The house is very new; it looks like it was recently built.

"Sister Base Leader, the uncle who sells magic potions lives here!" Xiao Le pointed to the house in front of him.

"Is the base leader going to become a superhero?"

"I don't need to change, I am who I am." He smiled and winked at Xiao Le.
