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

"You're already a B-level ability user, so you should have experienced this feeling twice. What, you didn't know?" A hint of doubt flashed in Miao Yin's eyes.

"Are you all like this?" Gong Jingming asked.

"Yes."

Miao Yin sensed something was different: "Tell me about it."

Gong Jingming thought for a moment and said, "I haven't experienced what you're talking about. It was like this when I had my superpowers, it's just that the number of plants I summoned increased later."

As soon as he said that, everyone's face showed a thoughtful expression.

"You mean you were already a B-rank when you had superpowers?"

"...So be it."

Have you ever had amnesia?

"No." Gong Jingming denied it subconsciously, but then seemed to suddenly remember something, and paused.

"No, you can't say that. I was unconscious."

Yao Yue asked in confusion, "Comatose? When did this happen? How come you've never mentioned it before?"

"It happened before the apocalypse. I was in a car accident back then, and when I woke up, the apocalypse was already here."

Miao Yin: "When did you awaken your special ability?"

"The first day of the apocalypse."

"Are you in the hospital?"

"Yes, what does it matter?"

Miao Yin released her grip, and the Nine-Tails Rabbit fell off her lap. She rested her chin on her hand and stared intently, saying, "Let me confirm, is this Zuochuan People's Hospital?"

"How did you know?" Gong Jingming frowned slightly.

"You were in that multi-vehicle collision?" Ling asked, somewhat surprised.

"So it was a multi-vehicle collision? I don't know. I lost consciousness on the highway and woke up in the hospital. Not long after, the apocalypse came. It took me a lot of effort to get out of there."

Miao Yin asked, "Is the situation in the hospital very bad?"

"It's about the same as here," Gong Jingming replied.

Are there other people who escaped from the hospital like you?

"I think so, but I didn't notice. I had just woken up from unconsciousness and was too busy running for my life." He shook his head.

Ling said to Miao Yin, "That hospital seems to be something special. Shall we go check it out?"

"Let's wait a while." Miao Yin waved her hand and continued, "Gong Jingming, have you absorbed any crystal cores? How did it feel?"

"After absorbing the crystal core, the superpower will grow faster than usual."

"That's all right then. Keep up the good work, I'm waiting for you to break through to S-rank," Miao Yin said with a smile.

Gong Jingming swallowed what he wanted to say, and the conversation ended there.

Miao Yin turned to Yan Shuzhou and asked, "Do you still want to go play?"

"Ah."

"Then I'll leave this to you." Miao Yin cheerfully left the stall and went back to playing with Yan Shuzhou, not knowing when the two of them would return.

Ling glanced at the table and said, "Except for the generator, roll up everything else and throw it away."

Yao Yue said with some regret, "Isn't this a bit extravagant?"

Unlike Miao Yin, she doesn't have a special space, and she has rarely had such a feast since the apocalypse.

"We have plenty of kitchen utensils at home, there's no need to bring these. Let's tidy up."

"Ok."

So they cleaned everything up, and at night they went to their resting places to absorb the crystal cores they had obtained during the day.

In the innermost corner, Yao Yue sat on the bed, holding a green crystal core in her hand.

For her, whose superpowers only serve a supporting role, killing a mutant with a crystal core is extremely difficult.

She spent a lot of effort killing one today, and even wore out two knives in the process.

"Yao Yue".

She looked up and saw that it was Gong Jingming.

"Why did you come to see me suddenly?"

Gong Jingming took two crystal cores out of his pocket and handed them to her: "Here, take them."

"What do you mean? Don't you need it?" Yao Yue looked at him in confusion.

Gong Jingming said, "I hope your special ability won't lag too far behind everyone else's."

Yao Yue gave a wry smile: "What difference could there be? Compared to my protective net that can only resist force, your superpowers are obviously more useful."

"But you can resist mental harm, can't you? Like that deformed human we encountered the other day, it created illusions to deceive us. If it weren't for your Barrier of All Things, we would have all died back then."

"That's only a minority. Besides, in the end, it was you who killed it. I just helped out a little."

“Yao Yue.” Gong Jingming said her name seriously.

"Upgrade your ability so that it may change. You need to... have some value... even if it's just helping to defend against mental attacks. Only if you can do that can you avoid following in their footsteps."

Yao Yue lowered her eyes, the images of her two teammates dying flashing through her mind.

Even without this special ability, she would have been one of them.

"I understand, thank you. I'll definitely return it to you when I have the chance." She accepted the crystal core.

With these three crystal cores, she will be able to break through her level tonight.

Seeing that she accepted it, Gong Jingming didn't bother her any longer and returned to his resting place.

He placed a carnivorous plant next to his bed.

This is a habit he's developed since he started wandering. To prevent being attacked by mutants in the middle of the night, he releases some of his plants when he rests. If he encounters danger, the plants will protect him first.

He turned off the light and fell asleep.

This was a rare good night's sleep.

……

The next morning, when Miao Yin came out of the space, everyone was already awake and eating instant noodles they had taken from the mall.

Yan Shuzhou handed Miao Yin a box as well: "Sister, shall I make it for you?"

Miao Yin shook her head: "I'm not eating."

She walked alone to the end of the fifth floor and looked out through the glass.

The sun rose again, but the streets were deserted. The dead trees no longer sprouted, and the fallen leaves on the road were pushed aside because they hadn't been swept for a long time. Cars were overturned on the ground, and the place looked empty and desolate.

A man cautiously emerged from the alleyway, holding a knife in his hand; he was clearly an ordinary survivor.

He looked around to make sure there was no danger before entering a store, packing the few items of food into his bag, and then carefully walking out.

Just as he was retracing his steps along the wall, a gecko-like deformed human suddenly emerged from the other side of the wall and bit off half of his arm.

The man screamed as he was tackled to the ground, where he found food scattered all over the ground.

The mutated man bit into his throat and devoured him, blood spreading beneath him until the man was lifeless.

To escape the dreaded sunlight, the mutant, carrying his corpse, jumped back over the wall once more.

And tragedies like this happen every day in the apocalypse.

"How sad."

Miao Yin withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes to bask in the sunlight for a while, then turned back to see that they were almost ready, clapped her hands and said:

"Let's go to Building C."
