Post-Apocalyptic Rebirth: The Ghost Guanyin Transforms into a God

The moment he saw the wall collapse, Yan Shuzhou could only run forward as fast as he could.

He heard the sound of stones cracking above his head. If he wasn't fast enough to escape, he would be buried alive!

"Oh!"

A piece of gravel hit him on the back. He cried out in pain, and his foot was caught on a small stone, causing him to roll several times.

A deafening roar erupted behind me, shaking the ground.

"Cough cough..."

Yan Shuzhou struggled to his feet, his dirty face turning toward the direction from which Yan Shuzhou had run.

Less than half a meter away from him, countless pebbles completely blocked the entire passage.

If he had been just one step slower, he would have been trapped inside.

Yan Shuzhou summoned a rabbit with trembling hands, attached his hearing to it, and listened to the sound from the other side himself.

"Yuanzhou, Ji Yuanzhou!" he shouted in that direction.

Ji Yuanzhou did not respond to him. All Yan Shuzhou heard was his painful wails and the chewing sounds of the deformed man devouring the corpse.

Yan Shuzhou had no choice but to start digging up the stones, moving them one by one in an attempt to clear a passage.

"Hey, with all that commotion just now, was Line 1 actually closed off?"

Yan Shuzhou paused in his movements.

Line 1?

"Who knows? Ugh, that guy who used the electricity destroyed the security cameras, now we can't see anything. We have to come down and check ourselves."

"Speaking of which, is this the first time the boss has used a meat grinder? He's never encountered anyone this troublesome before."

"That means, look at this spot on my hand, it's from when I was just struck by electricity, damn it, it hurt like hell!"

"Me too, look at me... ugh! What's the use of being arrogant? Once the meat grinder starts, we'll all be dead in there!"

What are they talking about? What meat grinder? Is it some kind of machine?

"Come on, reconnect the wires over there first. The surveillance camera in passage number two is still working. Once those people pass by, just press the button and tear their bodies to shreds!"

'It's such a pity about those women. They're so beautiful, and they're going to die here today. They really made the wrong choice in choosing someone...'

Yan Shuzhou couldn't hear a word that followed; his mind was completely occupied by the thought that "they are in danger."

"elder sister……"

No, we can't let them start the meat grinder!

He threw down the stone in his hand and ran towards the exit, but after a few steps, he stopped.

Yan Shuzhou turned his head and saw Ji Yuanzhou, who was seriously injured, behind the pile of stones blocking the passage.

His powers were exhausted, he had lost an arm, and there was a mutated human next to him. After it finished eating Zhang Leshan, the next one would be Ji Yuanzhou, who was powerless to resist.

"Waaah." The Nine-Tails Rabbit sensed the Summoner's grief and complex emotions, nuzzling his face in an attempt to comfort its master.

Yan Shuzhou let out a trembling sob: "I'm sorry..."

After saying that, he turned and ran forward.

His world offered no choice but to offer the sound of muses.

……

"The commotion is too great; even the mutants have come out," Miao Yin said calmly, looking at the few monsters crawling around her.

Several of the mutants here are still wearing white coats, some of which have been fused with scalpels and have their bodies covered with protruding blades.

“Eee-yah—” the deformed man cried out like a baby.

They surrounded them from both sides of the passage, staring at them menacingly.

Miao Yin drew a Tang sword, its blade gleaming.

"Divide the tasks and make a quick decision."

The curse and prohibition kept reminding her that Ji Yuanzhou had been seriously injured.

So the three of them split up and went their separate ways.

Miao Yin and Tu Hao were in charge of the front of the passage, while Ling was in charge of the back.

Flames and thorns danced in the passageway, accompanied by the sound of deformed human bodies being crushed against the walls.

In just over ten seconds, they dealt with all the monsters and dug out the crystal core.

"Walk."

With the obstacle gone, the four of them quickly arrived at the half-buried intersection.

With a wave of his hand, the thorns smashed through the rocks with unstoppable force, opening up a path.

The mutated humans, still devouring the corpses, were drawn to the noise and let out threatening growls at them.

"Tu Hao, take care of it."

Miao Yin didn't even glance at him, and walked straight toward Ji Yuanzhou.

Ji Yuanzhou was in so much pain that he could barely kneel. His gentle and refined face was completely bloodless, and even his lips were deathly pale.

He was trembling all over, one hand pressing against his severed arm, the exposed wound still bleeding profusely.

Fortunately, it was an arm that was severed rather than a separate artery, so his bleeding had already decreased due to the contraction of the blood vessels, preventing him from going into shock from blood loss on the spot.

Before Miao Yin could even reach him, Mi Huo flew up and burned his wound.

"what!"

The second injury to his arm caused Ji Yuanzhou to scream in pain once again.

"Bear with it," Miao Yin said.

Zhang Leshan's ability is spatial compression rather than severing. Therefore, there are still some pieces of skin and flesh hanging on Ji Yuanzhou's arm that haven't fallen off yet. You Wenwen can't treat him until these are cleaned up.

Although it hurt a lot, the intense heat of the flames helped slow down his blood loss and disinfected the wound.

"elder brother!"

When You Wenwen saw how badly he was injured, she exclaimed in alarm and rushed over to treat him.

"Wenwen."

Miao Yin suddenly turned her head and called out softly.

Upon hearing the voice, You Wenwen instinctively looked at her and saw Miao Yin's dark, menacing eyes.

—[Do not act on your own initiative.]

Those eyes spoke those words.

Yu Wenwen froze on the spot, not daring to move.

Miao Yin withdrew her gaze, as if nothing had happened, and knelt down in front of Ji Yuanzhou, speaking softly:

"Ji Yuanzhou, why do you look so disheveled?"

“Miao… Yin…” Ji Yuanzhou looked at her with somewhat unfocused pupils, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"Cough... Help, help me... I..." He unconsciously knelt forward a little and fell onto Miao Yin.

Miao Yin pinched his chin, forcing him to kneel with his head tilted back, looking down at him.

"Does it hurt?" she asked.

Ji Yuanzhou's lips trembled as he weakly uttered, "It hurts..."

Miao Yin lowered her eyes, tightened her grip on his hand slightly, and her tone suddenly turned cold: "If it hurt, why did you hold back back then?"

“What…” Ji Yuanzhou looked at her blankly, his brain, which was throbbing with pain, trying to function.

"I'm asking you, why did you let Zhang Leshan go back then?"

Miao Yin's words pierced through like red-hot needles, and Ji Yuanzhou's eyes widened.

He remembered.

He once had the opportunity to kill Zhang Leshan directly to eliminate any future trouble.

But he didn't do that; he just knocked both him and the wind-type ability user unconscious with electricity.

"You knew perfectly well that they were a bunch of thugs who came to kill you. You injured Zhang Leshan so badly that he couldn't possibly survive, yet you spared his life instead of eliminating him completely. Ji Yuanzhou, are you waiting for him to kill you?" she mocked.

Miao Yin had already seen those people on the ground when she went downstairs.

It was obvious that Tu Hao was responsible for the deaths, while Ji Yuanzhou was responsible for the fainting.

These money-grubbing scammers, so badly injured in the apocalypse, know they won't survive. How could they not seek revenge on the culprit?

Especially those arrogant superpowered individuals, who would rather die than let someone else die with them, would come down to him on their own without Su Yongfeng even having to urge them on.

Miao Yin already knew this, so she pretended not to know and stepped over the unconscious people, waiting for them to recover so they could seek revenge on Ji Yuanzhou.

"No, no... I... don't know..." Ji Yuanzhou shook his head in horror, his face turning even paler.

“Ji Yuanzhou, you are crippled, you are useless, and you will never be cured, all because of the little bit of your special ability that you used less, which allowed your enemy to survive.”

Miao Yin's eyes were like a sinister serpent, piercing him with coldness, the venom flowing into his body, confusing everything about him.

Something is starting to change.

Physiological tears streamed down his moist eyes, and Ji Yuanzhou vaguely thought:

Is he crippled?

Yu Wenwen... can't he be treated?

"What? You want Wenwen to save you? Do you think healing is omnipotent?" Miao Yin seemed to see through all his thoughts and ruthlessly pierced his infatuation.

"Look carefully, Wenwen doesn't dare to come over because she can't cure you! Ji Yuanzhou, you're finished. You're the second Zhang Leshan. If you can't be cured, you'll be abandoned by the team and then wait to die."

She grabbed his chin and forced him to look at Zhang Leshan's mangled corpse, whispering in his ear like a demon, "See? This is what will happen to you."

Ji Yuanzhou breathed heavily, trembling like a bird drenched in a storm in Miao Yin's hands.

"No... I..." he murmured in terror.

No one is unafraid of death, and Ji Yuanzhou is no exception.

He was an excellent student from a young age, praised by his family as he grew up. After graduation, he had a well-paying and respectable job. He was good-looking and liked by his students, and he also had several friends.

He was not Tu Hao, fighting amidst gunfire, nor was he Ling, treated like a guinea pig in a laboratory.

He is just an ordinary person among the masses; he would not kill anyone, nor would he be hurt like this by others.

If it weren't for the apocalypse, he would have lived a peaceful and uneventful life.

How could an ordinary person not be afraid of death?

"Miao Yin... Miao Yin..." he called out Miao Yin's name incoherently, trying to alleviate some of his fear.

He had lost too much blood and was showing signs of severe blood loss; his vision was blurring and he felt lightheaded.

His nasal cavity was filled with a sweet, fishy smell, just like when he was hanging on the windowsill more than ten meters high in the aquarium, on the verge of death.

At that time, Miao Yin was also by his side.

"Do you regret it? If you hadn't let your enemy go back then, you wouldn't be in this state now," Miao Yin lamented.

"I have to apologize to you, Ji Yuanzhou. Your injuries are too severe. Even if you survive now, the subsequent infection could kill you. I have no medicine to save you, nor can I support a cripple full of compassion."

"Don't blame me, blame your own compassion. You are the one who killed yourself."

"No, Miu Yin..."

Before Ji Yuanzhou could even finish his plea for help, the other person released his grip without any hesitation, leaving him to collapse to the ground, exhausted.

"Don't go...don't leave me behind...Miao Yin..." Ji Yuanzhou cried out in fear, unable to tell whether he was actually making a sound or just having a powerless fantasy in his mind.

Miao Yin only left him with her back turned.

Soon, even that silhouette became blurry.

Ji Yuanzhou lay on the cold ground, watching his last hope depart.

Endless regret and fear of death overwhelmed him, and his body heat was swallowed up by the ground like his life force.

If he hadn't shown mercy back then, would Miao Yin have considered saving him...?

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The pain began to numb, and the world before his eyes was gradually encroached upon by darkness. Ji Yuanzhou felt his eyelids become incredibly heavy.

In the end, he closed his eyes in panic and despair, not knowing if he would ever wake up again.

He fainted.

Before the sealed passage, the three silently watched everything unfold, the corpse of the mutated monster lying beside the rubble.

"Wenwen," Miao Yin called out.

Yu Wenwen snapped to attention: "Here!"

"Come here and heal his wounds."

"Huh? Oh, oh." You Wenwen exclaimed in surprise at first, then realized what Miao Yin meant and hurriedly ran to Ji Yuanzhou's side.

A vibrant green light appeared in her palm, rapidly healing his arm.

But soon, she found herself struggling to keep up.

A severed arm can be regenerated; this is no joke.

Miao Yin took out a blue crystal core and a green crystal core from her pocket.

These were dug out from the bodies of the mutants they just killed.

"Come on, absorb it. Your current level is not high enough."

"Okay, I'll absorb it now."

Yu Wenwen obediently took the crystal core and held it in his palm.

A minute later, she opened her eyes, her body brimming with strength.

"Let's continue, and heal him."

"Hmm." You Wenwen nodded, touched Ji Yuanzhou's arm, and continued to treat him.

After leveling up, the healing effect of Springtime also changed noticeably.

A pale green light bloomed on Ji Yuanzhou's wound, and from bone to flesh, his lost arm was slowly growing back.

After You Wenwen was covered in sweat and Feng Chun had exhausted herself again, she finally cured Ji Yuanzhou.

Yu Wenwen collapsed to the ground, exhausted, her face pale as she gasped for breath.

"Thank you for your hard work," Miao Yin said.

As expected of a one-in-a-hundred healing ability user, judging from how Yu Wenwen uses his ability, he is at most a B-level, yet he can already regenerate severed limbs.

Bringing her back was definitely the right decision.

Ling came over and wiped You Wenwen's sweat, saying, "I thought you really didn't want Ji Yuanzhou anymore."

Miao Yin smiled slightly: "Did I scare you?"

"To be honest, it was pretty scary, but then I thought, how could Wenwen not be able to save him? I knew you were lying," Ling said.

"She's a bastard," Tu Hao added quietly.

"How can you say that about me..." Miao Yin puffed out her cheeks and said aggrievedly, "As a captain who upholds justice, it is my duty to correct the mistakes of my teammates."

Tu Hao felt a chill and thought he would rather stay next to the corpse of the deformed man.

"By the way, where's the other person? I haven't seen them at all?" Ling asked.

"Yes, Brother Rabbit is missing," You Wenwen said worriedly.

She felt very guilty for not protecting the little rabbit Yan Shuzhou had given her.

"He."

Miao Yin pointed her chin at the pile of stones blocking the passage: "They escaped."

"They really got out faster than us," Tu Hao said with some surprise.

“Can he manage on his own? I don’t think he can protect himself. He’s also naive. Will he really get into trouble?” Ling said.

"Simple? Who?" Miao Yin was amused.

Seeing her reaction, Ling was stunned and subconsciously recalled what that person looked like.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, Yan Shuzhou seemed completely innocent and guileless.

Ling asked doubtfully, "Yan Shuzhou... is he lying?"

"That's not true."

Miao Yin sat on the ground and stretched, her expression languid yet with a hint of inscrutable contemplation.

...but it's hard to say.
