The backlash from the experiment was manifesting itself in Ling every day.

She gradually became thin, had difficulty eating, developed skin allergies, experienced bone pain, and even began to lose her vision like a true albinist. She became increasingly weak and found it extremely difficult to move around.

But her supernatural abilities continued to grow stronger, like a parasite sucking blood and bones, using the host's life to enhance itself.

They also consulted several doctors and people involved in research on supernatural abilities to have Ling examined.

However, Ling, who had been experimented on, strongly rejected these things, and all preliminary examinations indicated that she was beyond saving.

There is little hope unless someone can set up a laboratory of the same size as before and spend a considerable amount of time reproducing the diluted reagent.

But these are impossible now.

The third year of the apocalypse was a year of torrential rains, floods, and tsunamis that swept the globe.

At first, everyone thought it was just a simple weather disaster that would stop in a few days.

But unexpectedly, it escalated further.

On a night of torrential rain, the Divine Command Squad encountered a small-scale Black Tide.

The Black Tide is a phenomenon where a large number of mutated humans appear simultaneously, like a tidal wave, and attack human bases.

What Miao Yin and her group encountered was a small black tide of nearly three hundred mutants, led by a pink crystal core-level mutant.

They were besieged on a street by intelligent, mutated humans, surrounded by crimson eyes and monstrous roars.

Night fell deeply, even the moonlight was dim, and the only light was faint and indistinct, allowing them to see only the densely packed deformed people around them.

At this point, they had already lost five teammates.

The black fire thorns acted like a protective shield, protecting the rest of the team. The weakened Ling was supported by Que Song, her left hand clasped with Miao Yin's, when suddenly she started bleeding from her nose.

She held the cloth to her nose, and the cloth quickly became wet.

Her blood clotting function was also impaired, and the nosebleeds were completely unstoppable.

Miao Yin released her hand, met her light purple eyes, and spoke in a voice that was as intimate as ever, yet also like a venomous tongue flicking out a pink snake's forked tongue.

"Ling, I remember you said that your life belongs to me."

Ling's pale skin was stained with blood. She looked up at Miao Yin, and blood suddenly started flowing from her ears as well.

"To get out alive, we have to break through this encirclement and fight our way out, and we need someone to cover our retreat."

"My dear Snow White—"

Miao Yin gently touched Ling's half-face, which had lost its mask at some point, whispering tender words.

"—Will you reject me?"

The spell showed no signs of being activated in the slightest.

Ling looked at her, his purple eyes calmly stirring a few waves of sorrow, a slight smile on his lips, his long, wing-like eyelashes trembling gently, and strands of white hair suddenly falling to the side of his neck.

She let out a damp, cold sigh.

Time seemed to suddenly turn back, and her destiny echoed once again, inescapable and irreversible.

Miao Yin's supernatural power gradually dissipated from her body, and the black and red thorn cage faded inch by inch from top to bottom, revealing a pure white like snow, standing tall under the dark sky.

Ling's eyes flowed with the cool, clear water from the melting ice of the high-altitude mountains, and even her voice was incredibly soft.

“You said that your spell could kill me in an instant, leaving not even a corpse behind.”

"Don't let me die from the exhaustion of the experiment, and don't let me die at the hands of the monster."

“Okay,” Miao Yin said.

Ling stood with her back to them, arms outstretched, her superpowers unleashed to their fullest extent.

The white thorns stretched as far as the eye could see, just like when they first met.

Miao Yin gave her one last look before leading her team out of the encirclement.

The mutated human with the pink crystal core wanted to chase after them, but its hands and feet were bound by Ling's thorns.

They began to tear at each other, and pieces of white thorn fell to the ground, torn to shreds.

A large number of thorns intertwined and wove, winding their way up the streetlights, climbing on buildings and walls, blocking the entire road.

From a distance, it looks like a white wall built by a giant.

Ling single-handedly used his S-class superpower to hold back the entire Black Tide, allowing them to escape to safety.

Miao Yin sat in the car, feeling the fluctuations of the curse that were getting further and further away from her.

As the owner of the mark, she could clearly sense Ling's state at that time.

[Don't die]

The prohibition fluctuated, reminding the owner of the other party's violation.

The strong wind blowing in from outside the car made her hair dance wildly. Miao Yin stepped on the gas and started the car.

The black soul fire surged and burned, turning the flesh to ash in the blink of an eye.

The curse etched on Ling's body has vanished forever.

Heavy rain poured down, causing rivers to swell, and soon after, floods and tsunamis arrived one after another.

Miao Yin and her team eventually took refuge in a tall building to escape the flood; they had seven more years.

Ling then went to the four seas and eight wastelands.

……

Miao Yin stood in the black iron cell, rubbing the bloodstains on her hands.

Ling knelt on the ground, her head weakly resting on her arm, looking at this person she had never seen before.

She has already been injected with Type 4 serum, and scientists are currently testing her level of superpowers.

She intended to use this opportunity to kill the scientists and escape, but she was too late. After the alarm sounded, she was taken down by the security personnel.

They tortured her as punishment, gave her sedatives, and then locked her up here.

In her dazed state, she seemed to hear the alarm sound again, and then all the test personnel guarding her ran away, leaving her alone there.

And now, a strange woman has appeared here.

She was wearing a white lab coat and a name tag, so she must have been a lab technician as well. But the way she looked at her and her demeanor were completely different from those of the scientists.

When Miao Yin saw that she was staring at her employee badge, she took it off.

"I almost forgot I was wearing it because I didn't feel it at all."

She tossed her white coat and name tag aside, revealing her original clothes.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Miao Yin. I am an intruder. I have just sealed off the entire laboratory. Now, no one can leave here except me."

"……what you up to?"

Ling was so weak that she could only make faint breathy sounds. Fortunately, Miao Yin was close to her and had good hearing, otherwise it would have been difficult to hear her clearly.

"What do I want to do?"

Miao Yin pondered for a moment, then snapped her fingers.

"I'd like to sincerely invite you to join my post-apocalyptic survival team. The team offers great benefits, the boss is beautiful and kind, and the team atmosphere is harmonious. Although there's no salary, we provide food and lodging. Everyone who joins raves about it! How about it, are you interested?"
