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

Inside the Guanyin Eighty-Eight Temple, when Miao Yin woke up, she didn't know how much time had passed. The gods and Buddhas in the temple hall lowered their eyes, still looking the same as before.

She walked out of the temple and strolled across the wasteland. Looking back, she saw eighty-eight temples shrouded in mist, devoid of any life.

Before the end of the world, she stockpiled a large amount of goods inside, and carefully divided them into different temples for easy access.

Food, water, clothing, daily necessities, and weapons—even with the maximum amount she could carry, she still couldn't fill the temples.

Now, three of the temples that were originally filled with offerings are empty, as she has given them away as backups.

She swirled the wine glass in her hand, her skirt brushing against the withered grass and stirring up bits of grass, as she walked toward the edge of the space.

This wasn't the first time she'd done something like this. Back when she first awakened her powers, she walked through this wasteland, trying to find the boundaries of space, but each time she failed.

Once you step outside the visible area, the path ahead will be obscured by a thick white fog, creating a situation like being trapped in a maze, no matter which way you go, you will return to the same place.

As her ability level increased, the visible range expanded, but even at S-rank, Miao Yin still couldn't see the end of this space.

"Still no good." Once again enveloped in white mist, she sighed, downed the red wine in one gulp, threw away the glass, and let it shatter in the wasteland.

Miao Yin was too lazy to go out.

She had spent some time in Dream City in her previous life and had already figured everything out. The base, which was still under development, did not interest her at all. Rather than wandering around outside, she would rather stay in the space to practice her superpowers.

Moreover, with such a high-risk superpowered individual like her roaming around, some people will inevitably have trouble sleeping at night.

Therefore, to those monitoring their movements, Miao Yin always got into the car and never got out again, while her teammates were always running out to take on missions, their powerful abilities bringing a lot of help to the base.

If it weren't for their close relationship with Miao Yin, they would have even considered recruiting her and taking her away.

However, time also eased their vigilance. Although Miao Yin was at the base, she did nothing. Gradually, everyone relaxed and focused on preparing for the war.

Ever since Miao Yin and Elder Lu finished their discussion, the base has visibly become busier.

Machine tools were working day and night to forge weapons, troops and mercenaries stationed outside were recalled in batches, people with supernatural abilities were recruited and given professional training, and the defenses on the city walls were reinforced one after another.

These changes by the government did not escape the eyes of the survivors. The base was thrown into turmoil, people were filled with fear, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly oppressive, a far cry from when Miao Yin and the others first arrived.

Finally, on the evening of November 20th, almost a month after they arrived, Peng Si approached Miao Yin.

After a month apart, Peng Si looked thinner, with dark circles under his eyes. The base's deployment of so many defensive measures was naturally inseparable from his supervision. The past month of hard work and mental strain had made him look very depressed, but a soldier's eyes remained sharp and clear, and he would never fall down.

"Let's find a quiet place to talk," Peng Si said as soon as they met.

"Go this way."

Miao Yin naturally knew what the other party had come to say, so the two of them left their respective groups and walked together to the moat.

"There's no one else here, you can speak now."

Peng Si looked around to make sure there was nothing amiss, and then said, "The armory matter is settled. We'll leave next month."

"Not going to delay any longer?" Miao Yin raised an eyebrow slightly.

He shook his head: "Old Lu said that the longer it drags on, the more difficult things will become. Rather than waiting for the Scarlet Disaster to appear, it's better to deal with it first than to wait for them to come knocking on our door."

"Wise choice."

The longer they drag this out, the stronger the weapons in their arsenal will become, and then no one will be able to deal with them.

Peng Si continued, "According to the information you gave us, we won't be carrying a large number of firearms this time, only some for self-defense on the road. I will lead the team, and the vice-captain will be Fang Ce. I'll introduce you to him later. There will be a total of 300 people in the team going to the armory. The majority of them are special forces soldiers we have carefully selected, and some are people with superpowers and medical personnel we have recruited. Those people with superpowers who can teleport are also included. The rest of the main force will stay in Dream City."

Strategy?

Miao Yin remembered this person.

After Peng Si died in his previous life, this was the one who led the team on the rescue mission in Dong Ai Community. The position Peng Si holds now was the one he was sitting in back then. Later, during the mission to open the armory, he was also the one who directed the operation as the captain. In the end, he died so badly that his body couldn't even be pieced together.

Peng Si is not dead now, but he has become the deputy captain.

"Has the specific date been set?" Miao Yin asked.

"It's settled, December 5th. We will form two teams then, one to come with us, and the other to stay in Moon City, under Qiu Jing's leadership."

"Moon City?"

"Moon City is the largest survival base besides Dream City. Dream City won't abandon them. In the face of danger, we should unite. We will bring not only troops, but also weapons and supplies. Let's overcome this together for the common survival of humanity." Peng Si said firmly, word by word, his sharp eyes shining like the medals on his shoulders.

"I understand, you are all so kind." Miao Yin said exaggeratedly, but her face showed no emotion.

Peng Si asked, "According to the plan, you should be coming with us, right?"

“Maybe. If we count the days, there are still fifteen days left, which isn’t far off… Captain Peng, how about I leave some people here to help you?” Miao Yin said.

A hint of surprise flashed in Peng Si's eyes: "You're going to leave your teammates here?"

This was a completely unexpected answer; no one had ever imagined that Miao Yin would abandon her people in a city that she foresaw would be destroyed.

They had nowhere to retreat or escape, and they had to protect the last piece of pure land in Jingzhou. But why was Miao Yin doing this?

"I'm no use bringing so many people with me, so just consider them hostages and leave them to you," Miao Yin said nonchalantly.

Peng Si frowned, pondering Miao Yin's words.

The group of superpowered individuals under her command were not as weak as she had previously reported. Those who could be led by her were definitely not ordinary superpowered individuals, and they were so easily mortgaged.

From the base's perspective, combat power is scarce at this time, so the more ability users the better. If they can keep a few, it will be beneficial to them.

Just... why?

Peng Si couldn't figure out the reason for this for the time being.

"Then it's decided." Before he could even consider it, the woman made the decision. "However, now that you're all gone, who will be in charge of Dream City's army?"

“Lu Lao has always been the military superior in Mengcheng, but if you are the person in charge on the surface, Jiang Tao will take over after I leave,” Peng Si replied.

Miao Yin understood all of this, and there was no need to hide anything. Since it was a collaboration, they needed to show some sincerity in their cooperation.

“Okay, I understand your plan, but I’ve thought about it and I don’t need your car, so I’ll go by myself. See you at the destination then, okay?” Miao Yin leaned against the railing by the moat, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

"Sure, but the army is large, and the roads are dangerous, so we won't be able to move very fast. We'll have to wait a few days for you."

"Of course, then, see you later."
