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

Everyone was both surprised and suspicious: "Who's pulling these tricks behind our backs?" They glanced at the electric-type ability users in the group, their suspicions growing, and asked, "Was it you guys who did this?"

Unjustly accused, several electric-type ability users retorted angrily: "How could it be us? Don't forget we have a protective shield..."

"Look, everyone! What's that?" A hurried, trembling female voice interrupted them. She stared intently at a spot, her pupils gradually dilating, and pointed to a lush, large tree.

People were drawn by her voice and looked in the direction she was pointing. They saw two thick, long tentacles extending down from the tree, digging deep into the soil and releasing electricity.

Upon seeing the tentacles, Cang Xingyue's expression turned slightly angry, and flames condensed in her palms.

It turned out that this guy was the one who secretly tried to kill her. If it weren't for the Pure Lotus constantly protecting her from fatal wounds, she probably would have died countless times by now.

A powerful flame shot straight towards the tentacles. Fueled by rage, the flame unleashed by Cang Xingyue was extremely domineering, scorching the air in its path and sending waves of heat through it.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Flames struck the tree, turning the once lush tree to ashes in an instant. The mutated Tuhu had already jumped away and landed steadily on the ground, while Shuyin, who had been knocked off the tree by Tuhu's rear end, fell face down on the ground in a spread-eagle position.

Despite their fear, the crowd recognized the terrifying monster before them.

"Old base chief?! How could he have become like this?" The residents couldn't believe that the once kind-faced old base chief had now turned into a terrifying monster with a hideous face.

Lu Siyan was slightly surprised, but his expression remained unchanged, and his gaze toward Tuhu became deep and unfathomable.

He had long heard of the Eastern Flow Base's Long-Distance Tiger, who died in battle when zombies flooded into the Zombie City. But now, a dead man appeared before everyone in this state.

It's important to know that people who have already died cannot be infected with the zombie virus again and cannot turn into zombies.

The corpse that becomes a zombie is just an empty shell controlled by killing. To put it simply, an empty wine bottle can still be used as a weapon, and its power is greater than when it is full.

Only that person could turn a corpse into a superhuman being, even more powerful than a mutated zombie. But... isn't that person already dead? And that was—his own doing!

Lu Siyan lowered his eyes, his thoughts drifting into memories of the past.

At this moment, Cang Xingyue froze on the spot, her grief-stricken gaze fixed on the abdomen of the zombie-like tiger, her hands clenched into fists.

From the moment she saw Tuhu, she was somewhat surprised, but Tuying had kept Tuhu's body frozen. Now, Tuhu had mutated into a zombie monster of unknown class, and she didn't know what had happened.

She couldn't leave to investigate, so she could only ask the system about Tu Ying's situation and whether it had anything to do with him.

The system's response made her feel as if her blood had frozen and a chill ran down her spine.

She closed her eyes in sorrow, her heart filled with endless guilt. In the end, she had failed the old base chief's expectations, unable to ensure the safety and happiness of the Journey Eagles, nor could she protect the base's residents.

Tu Hu tilted his head, looking at the crowd, drool dripping from his wide-open mouth, and then licked his lips with his tongue. He was no longer human, nor did he understand the emotions people were feeling towards him.

Only one thought was on my mind—attack everyone you see.

Tu Hu bent his knees and leaped high into the air, landing with a thud on the left protective shield. He placed a shield under his feet to block the electric shocks attached to the shield.

He swung his electrically charged tentacles at the protective shield, attempting to destroy it.

The two collided with a loud bang. The tentacles were injured by the supernatural power attached to the shield, but he seemed to feel no pain and smashed even more violently.

The residents under the protective shield screamed in fright.

Cang Xingyue's expression turned serious, and she immediately threw a water ball at Tu Hu.

Now is not the time for sadness. She cannot let the residents die at the hands of the old base chief. He cherished all the residents so much when he was alive. If he is watching from heaven, he would not want to see her hurt them.

She has already failed in her duties far too much.

Tuhu nimbly dodged the water balloon's attack with a leap.

Cang Xingyue's attacks were dodged by Tu Hu, who was so fast that he was hard to catch even as a shadow.

After several failed attempts, Cang Xingyue's competitive spirit was ignited. With a cold smile, she summoned the Blood Cherry Blade in her hand, slightly tightening her grip on the hilt, and instantly flames climbed up the blade.

She knew perfectly well that the old charity base, Long-Distance Tiger, was long gone, and what stood before her was nothing more than a dangerous zombie.

She wouldn't let her emotions dictate her actions, nor would she allow him to run rampant.

Cang Xingyue entered the space, and when she reappeared, she swung the Blood Cherry Blade and slashed fiercely down on Tu Hu's back.

This time, Tuhu couldn't dodge it again. He was slashed from shoulder to waist with a deep, bone-revealing cut, and then burned by flames, with the smell of burning filling the air.

Tu Hu let out a mournful cry and turned to stab her with his tentacles, but missed completely. Long before he succeeded, Cang Xingyue had already entered the spatial dimension.

As he turned around, Cang Xingyue used the same trick again. Having learned his lesson once, Tu Hu was on guard and quickly turned around to thrust his tentacles forward.

"Thud." The sound of a blunt object piercing flesh.

Cang Xingyue plunged the Blood Cherry Blade into Tu Hu's chest, while her abdomen was also pierced by tentacles.

Concerned voices rang out from around her, though it was unclear whether they were calling for her or for Tu Hu. But Cang Xingyue had no time to pay attention; all she wanted to do was get rid of the zombie monster in front of her as quickly as possible.

When Lu Siyan saw that she was injured, he wanted to help her. "Yue'er, let me help you."

Cang Xingyue kicked Tu Hu away and said calmly, "No need, I can do it."

Lu Siyan withdrew his foot and said, "Call me if you need anything, I'm always here."

Cang Xingyue spun around with the Blood Cherry Blade in her hand and unleashed a barrage of powerful fire blades at Tu Hu, who had been kicked away.

With a loud explosion, Tuhu was cleaved in two, and the large tree next to him was also snapped in half, falling to the ground and kicking up dust.

Residents who have always respected Tuhu were unwilling to see this scene and turned their heads away, closing their eyes in unbearable pain.

One of them spoke up in reproach, his voice choked with emotion: "Base Commander, how could you do this? The old Base Commander may have mutated, but... but maybe he can be cured someday. How can he live like this?"

Hearing this mindless and ridiculous remark, she was so angry that she laughed and pointed the knife at him: "How about I send you down to serve the old base chief now?"

The man was momentarily speechless, then lowered his head and stammered, "I... I was just trying to warn you, Commander, that what you're doing is... wrong."

Sheathed her Blood Cherry Blade, used her water-based powers to encircle the man and pull him in front of her. She raised her hand and grabbed his neck, coldly saying, "Let's set off now."

"Hey, no, no, no, I'm talking nonsense because I'm out of my mind."

She snorted coldly and threw him back.

"There's no time to lose, you should head to the West City base now."

After this incident, the evacuation of residents could not be delayed any longer; the longer it was delayed, the more dangerous it would be.

Shu Yin, who had fallen from the tree and hit his head, slowly woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Tu Hu's mangled body right in front of him. In an instant, he felt like he had been struck by lightning.

He cursed inwardly and secretly prayed that Tang Chen had given the medicine to his zombie relatives and friends.

Seeing the people gradually leaving, he instantly panicked.

No, we absolutely cannot let them leave. We cannot let the master's plan fall through, or his life will be in danger.

A deep blue light appeared in Shu Yin's eyes, and instantly the people walking around stopped in their tracks, their eyes becoming dull.
