After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

"Okay, Nameless, thank you for saving me." Xiao Lengran pushed Lengran, "Put me down, I can walk by myself."

Leng Ran put Xiao Leng Ran down and handed her a bag of dried meat and half a bottle of water: "Eat it yourself."

Xiao Lengran's eyes lit up. After taking out two strips of dried meat, she handed the rest of the dried meat to Lengran.

"Such precious food, I only need a tiny bit..."

Leng Ran was both amused and exasperated. How come she had never noticed how modest she was before?

"Eat up, eat as much as you want, I have plenty of this kind of food."

Xiao Lengran didn't stand on ceremony anymore and started wolfing down the food: "You must be very strong to be able to get so much precious food."

"Little Lengran, would you like to learn some survival skills in the apocalypse?" Lengran did not deny her statement. "As long as you become my apprentice, I can teach you how to survive here."

"Okay! I want to live!" Xiao Lengran immediately agreed, "Please teach me how to become stronger, Master!"

In the end times, there are no complicated apprenticeship ceremonies; as long as both parties agree, they can address each other as master and disciple.

Leng Ran nodded slightly in response: "Yes, follow me for now."

"Master, where are we going?" Little Lengran, having regained some strength after eating, followed closely beside Lengran. "It's so dark, Master, how can you see the road?"

Leng Ran then realized that she had not brought any lighting equipment. She, with her mental powers, could see her surroundings clearly, but Xiao Leng Ran could not.

She naturally took Xiao Lengran's hand in case she fell: "We need to find a new refuge."

It's a strange feeling to be holding hands with another version of yourself, even if you don't say what you should say.

The closest one to here is Vault 23, where she and the Nameless One lived for a period of time.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of zombies, about several dozen, appeared in Leng Ran's mental vision. They were out hunting for food at night and were moving very fast, blocking their only way!

Because scent-masking spray cannot be redeemed in the Star Wars store, they will have a hard time avoiding hordes of zombies with extremely sensitive noses.

Leng Ran took off his equipment bag and put it on the ground, took out two grenades, and turned around to tell Xiao Leng Ran: "A horde of zombies is approaching. Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

"Okay." Xiao Lengran nodded and found a rock to sit on.

The main point is that you can sit and wait, but you will never stand.

With his physique approaching level five, Leng Ran possessed terrifying explosive power, and in an instant, he disappeared from Xiao Leng Ran's sight.

As Leng Ran closed the distance to the zombie horde, the zombies, smelling the scent of living people, became visibly excited and charged towards Leng Ran, who ran towards them.

To some extent, both sides have achieved a two-way exchange.

However, the cold-blooded creature that rushed towards them was there to take the zombies' lives!

Two grenades exploded one after the other in the horde of zombies. Instantly, dazzling flames and billowing smoke intertwined, engulfing the entire horde. The air was filled with a pungent stench of gunpowder mixed with the putrid smell.

Leng Ran didn't look at the horrific scene of the zombie horde anymore. She turned around to meet up with Xiao Leng Ran, picked up her equipment bag again, and took Leng Ran's hand as they headed towards Shelter No. 23.

The unusual activity quickly attracted the attention of the nearby shelter, and after discussion, they decided to send a team to investigate.

Before long, Leng Ran ran into the opposing team head-on.

She was deeply impressed by the tall, strong man who led the team, Ji Wenshan.

Before the apocalypse, Ji Wenshan was also a soldier in S country. After the apocalypse, he was assigned to Shelter No. 23 to protect the safety of the residents.

He was very kind to his younger self and was one of the few people in the apocalypse who still retained a sense of justice.

"I am Ji Wenshan, the guardian of Shelter 23! May I ask who you are?" Ji Wenshan did not approach rashly, but called out to Leng Ran from a distance, "Are you a wanderer?"

The Wanderers are lone wolves who have an extreme distrust of humanity and live among hordes of zombies year-round; they are all incredibly powerful. They have their own way of surviving, and it's difficult to distinguish between good and evil.

If she weren't accompanied by Xiao Lengran, she would be happy to call herself a wanderer. When she went on missions alone, she would always claim to be a wanderer to save herself the trouble and effort.

In the post-apocalyptic world, most people keep their distance from wanderers because they don't know whether the wanderers in front of them are good or bad, or whether they might suddenly decide to throw them all to feed the zombies.

Therefore, if she wanted to be accepted into Refuge 23, she absolutely could not say that she was a wanderer.

“Hello, Guardian.” His cold tone remained unchanged as he calmly met Ji Wenshan’s gaze. “I am a special envoy from ‘Hope Star,’ named Wuming, here to investigate the destruction of Shelter No. 17.”

Hope Star, directly under the military of Country S, is currently just an ordinary small base. However, as more and more bases and shelters are destroyed, it will undergo tremendous changes in the next few years and become the largest human survivor base in the post-apocalyptic world.

After a major incident or prolonged loss of contact occurs at a shelter, the base will send some strong individuals to investigate the situation and participate in some rescue and reconstruction work.

Seeing that Leng Ran's expression remained unchanged and there was no guilt in his eyes, Ji Wenshan lowered his guard: "Was this explosion caused by you, Special Envoy?"

Leng Ran: "Yes, to clear the road. The grenades were brought from 'Hope Star,' so don't worry."

Hand grenades, weapons capable of causing widespread destruction, are plentiful in the base, but extremely rare in these secondary shelters.

Ji Wenshan observed Leng Ran's demeanor again, and indeed she possessed the cold and aloof air of a soldier. He believed her words to a great extent: "Do you have any identification?"

Leng Ran recalled the emblem of the Star of Hope, secretly using her mental power to control the special material she had prepared beforehand, which could be reshaped by mental power.

Then, with utter composure, she took the newly-made Star of Hope badge out of her equipment bag and tossed it to Ji Wenshan.

Ji Wenshan examined the badge carefully. Although he didn't know what material it was made of, the workmanship was indeed excellent. This time, Ji Wenshan completely believed Leng Ran's identity.

“Unnamed Special Envoy, it’s getting late. Please come with me.” Ji Wenshan gestured for him to enter and turned on a small area of ​​lighting.

"Hmm." Leng Ran took a step forward and followed, with Xiao Leng Ran close behind.

The system's voice sounded again the moment I stepped through the shelter's doors.

[You have been detected to be in Vault 23. Please make a choice within one week: save or destroy?]

She recalled that Shelter No. 23 was eventually destroyed by a fire. She didn't know the specifics of the incident, but it was widely speculated that it was caused by human intervention.

If she doesn't choose to save it, Vault 23 will eventually face its predetermined destruction... Is the time limit one week this time?

Just like when she saved Xiao Lengran, if she chooses not to save herself, she will inevitably face "destruction".

Destruction appears to be passive, while salvation is an active choice.

Leng Ran is now almost certain that this is not a game, but a world she has lived in... She is intertwined with two different timelines, but if the young Leng Ran died, would she still be standing here?
