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

"If you don't want to do it, then forget it."

Her tone was light and her expression was neither happy nor angry. Yan Shuzhou couldn't discern her thoughts and became even more frightened.

"No... I... I can, I can shoot... Give me another chance, please don't be angry..." He looked at her pleadingly.

"You can't, Yan Shuzhou, you're afraid."

The gun twirled nimbly in Miao Yin's hand, and she aimed it at the two men on the ground, blowing their heads off with two quick shots.

Those two bastards went to hell to meet the people they had killed.

Yan Shuzhou trembled at the sound of the gunshot, his face drained of color: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I failed..."

His eyes reddened, tears welled up, and his handsome face looked desperate and pitiful: "Sister, are you going to abandon me?"

"how come?"

She cupped his face in her hands and said tenderly, "Xiao Zhou, you don't need to be so afraid. I am strong and wise. I am capable enough to protect you. With me by your side, you can never get your hands dirty, and you can live a life of comfort even in the apocalypse."

“But I’m useless. Even without me, my sister can live a good life,” he said in despair.

That's why he cherished every order she gave him. Only by perfectly executing every word Miao Yin said could he feel useful and have the security of being kept around.

The bed in the small manor was very soft, and he was provided with three meals a day so he wouldn't go hungry. Miao Yin would never hit him with a rattan cane, nor would she lock him up. As long as he behaved well, she would praise him.

Although she would occasionally scare him, she never actually harmed him. She even helped him practice his superpowers, learn how to survive in the hands of the mutants, and adapt to this new world. She was strong and flamboyant, and someone he relied on.

Yan Shuzhou considered Miao Yin's side as his home and would rather die than leave.

Miao Yin looked into his eyes and said seriously, "It doesn't matter if you can't do these things. I know you're very obedient and know how to please me. Your loyalty satisfies me more than killing people with weapons."

"Not everyone in this world is a genius, nor is everyone useful to society. I don't care if you can be as strong as me. I just hope you have some ability to protect yourself and are obedient and sensible. That's enough."

"Now that I've brought you back, I won't easily throw you away. Your appearance, personality, and superpowers all suit my taste. Even if you're a little cowardly and can't be a hero, it doesn't matter. Xiao Zhou, you're not worthless. At least I like you just the way you are."

pat.

Like two treasure boxes that had lost their pearls, glistening tears fell from Yan Shuzhou's eyes, which were filled with grievances and resentment. He sobbed silently like a child who had never grown up, lamenting that he had been accepted after suffering for the first nineteen years of his life.

The lack of love in the orphanage, the abuse from his adoptive parents, and the sudden baptism of life and death after the apocalypse had already made his spirit extremely fragile. He had only managed to appear normal and calm. Now, Miao Yin's words had truly given his fearful and uneasy heart a sense of belonging.

Yan Shuzhou's thin body trembled slightly, his youthful, delicate face contorted with tears, his nose flushed, his eyelashes wet. His eyes, now clear of gloom, were like a mountain spring, unbelievably beautiful.

"Sister..." This hoarse cry, filled with sobs, finally redeemed him from nineteen years of fear.

"I'm sorry... I'll try my best to improve my abilities... I won't hold you back... I'm sorry... Sister..."

Miao Yin wiped away his tears, letting him express his inner feelings and vent his emotions.

Warm sunlight streamed into the room through the shattered windows, filling it with tenderness. Tiny dust particles floated in the air, and even the smell of blood was filled with the joy of souls colliding. Yan Shuzhou faced the sun and embraced her, his trembling heart finally finding a warm home.

In the shadows, Miao Yin appeared calm, even her breathing was light.

……

They were interrupted by the message from the Nine-Tails Rabbit.

"Sister, the rabbit said that the spider wanted to escape." Yan Shuzhou lifted her head from her shoulder, her face still bearing traces of tears.

“The little thing that won’t listen to advice needs to be taught a lesson,” Miao Yin said, emphasizing each word.

-

They went downstairs to the female corpse. They saw that the corpse's stomach was bulging and the skin was cracked. The Nine-Tails Rabbit was squatting beside it, guarding it.

Perhaps sensing the arrival of the female demon, the little spider suddenly froze, standing there dumbfounded.

"What did I warn you about?"

Miao Yin took out a new large knife, and the sharp tip pierced through the female corpse's stomach. The little spider was impaled on the knife and lifted out, its eight legs flapping in the air.

"Since we're going to make snake food anyway, it's not a bad idea to chop it up and take it back, is it?" Miao Yin said slowly, looking at it.

The apocalyptic changes don't only affect humans; about two years from now, animals and plants will also begin to change.

Unlike humans, some domesticated animals retain some of their intelligence after mutation, and will continue to be loyal to their owners even if their appearance changes drastically.

Miao Yin once saw a black-backed military dog ​​that had mutated to be as ferocious as a tiger. It could tear a person to shreds with a single claw. But when everyone fearfully brandished their weapons at it, it suddenly lay down on the ground and, as before, exposed its belly to its owner, longing to play with him.

Miao Yin wanted Bai Suzhen to become like that too.

Whether it was her imagination or because she didn't understand snakes, Miao Yin always felt that the White Snake was smarter than other snakes, able to understand human speech and even her own emotions.

Despite being a cold-blooded animal that shouldn't have the mindset of recognizing an owner, it acted like an ordinary cat or dog, rubbing against her hand and distinguishing Miao Yin from other people.

Miao Yin wanted to try to make Bai Niangzi, like that black-backed military dog, become a sentient, mutated creature, but the probability of waiting for the animal to mutate two years later was too low.

This little spider is very special. It was conceived in the bodies of a human and a spider. It was born with a crystal nucleus and knew how to seek advantage and avoid harm, and how to lie dormant and calculate. Such an unusual specimen would probably make the scientists in the research institute laugh for three days and three nights.

So she had an idea: to take the little spider back to the manor, cut it into pieces, and feed it to Bai Suzhen so that it could build up some tolerance in advance.

It's important to know that future scientists have confirmed that even if you are scratched by a mutant, you won't get infected like zombies in movies and TV shows. However, people who eat mutant creatures have a very high probability of becoming mutants themselves.

And that extremely small percentage are people with special abilities.

Feeding her special little white snake with the flesh of a special mutated creature is surely more likely than the probability of indiscriminate mutation two years later.

So she hoped to bring a live spider back, in case the White Snake Lady didn't have enough to eat, it could grow as it was cut.

However, Guanyin Temple does not tolerate living creatures. If this little thing is put in your backpack, you might accidentally be ambushed and killed by it.

—Or should we kill it? This little bit of meat should last us a long time.

A murderous intent began to rise in Miao Yin's eyes.

The little spider keenly sensed the threat and frantically began spinning silk everywhere.

It is much more poisonous than its parent organism; even the spider silk is stained black by the venom, and it can corrode cement if it falls on the ground.

But the fire of the Miu Yin can destroy everything; the flowing flames envelop it, and the poisonous spider silk is burned away halfway through its spray.

The little spider seemed to realize this as well, and finally stopped struggling. It waved its two spider legs at her, as if it had something to say in its defense.
