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

As night fell, dark and heavy, Miao Yin walked alone on the deserted street.

The white plastic bag was blown by the wind, and on the silent street where only the sound of the wind could be heard, the deformed man climbed up quietly.

On nights like these, a living person is a rare delicacy in their eyes.

Finally, one of the mutants couldn't resist taking action.

It leaped onto the roof of the car with a loud bang, its long, thin tongue licking its chapped lips.

It faced Miao Yin, then stomped on the windshield and pounced on her.

Without turning her head, Miao Yin sent flames soaring into the air behind her. A scream rang out, and the mutated man was dead.

Even with lessons learned from the past, creatures without intelligence will still fly like moths to a flame.

Enveloped in flames, Miao Yin walked through two streets, leaving behind a pile of ashes.

She was on her way to their agreed meeting place.

She made a deal with Peng Si, who promised to gouge out Li Kangping's eyes and take them to the vicinity of the City Flower sculpture in Yecheng.

There is an antique-style inn for travelers to rest, with vending machines and restrooms. On the next floor, there are shops selling local specialties.

She had been to this inn in her previous life. It seemed that it was under renovation before the apocalypse, and there was no one inside. The doors and windows were all sealed off, so there were no mutants there.

The facilities are located relatively late at night, making them suitable for settling down and hiding, which is perfect for the handover.

According to the information brought by Jian Zhou, Peng Si should have set off two days ago and arrived in Yecheng today.

Upon arriving at the location of the City Flower, Miao Yin saw the corpse of a mutated human, whose head had been severed and whose body was riddled with bullet holes.

She arrived at the entrance of the inn, where a sign that read "[Under Repair]" lay on the ground, and a faint light shone through the crack in the door.

Pushing open the door, there was no one on the first floor of the inn, and the doors to several toilet stalls were all open, so Miao Yin went up to the second floor.

Near the closed window on the second floor, Peng Si sat quietly on a wooden bench, holding a flashlight in his hand and a silver box at his feet.

He didn't show any surprise when he saw her arrive.

"You said back then that I could find you on time without needing to communicate, and it turns out it was true," he said calmly.

"What reason did you give for coming out?" Miao Yin asked.

"There are many rescue missions at the base. I chose one in Yecheng, and the rest was easy."

He is in charge of his team, and as long as the arrangements are made properly, no one will stop him from coming out alone.

Miao Yin held out her hands to him: "This is what I want."

Peng Si stood up, picked up the silver box, and walked up to her.

"First, remove the superpowers from Qiu Jing and me."

"Huh? Why should I help you?" Miao Yin asked knowingly.

Peng Si frowned: "You want to back out?"

"What are you going back on? Our deal was just that I would save your teammate and you would give me your eyes. There was never any mention of removing my powers."

Peng Si looked at her coldly, his face showing only a stern expression.

Miao Yin met his gaze without flinching.

After a while, Peng Si raised his hand and handed the box to her.

"Smart move."

Miao Yin took the box, opened the two clasps, and inspected the goods on the spot.

The box felt cold to the touch. It wasn't just a simple container of items inside; it contained a blue and white instrument that covered the box, with four legs extending out to the center to hold two transparent circular boxes in place.

Inside the box were two bloodshot eyes.

There is a bracket directly below, which is also connected to the round box. There is a button below it, which can be opened to remove the bracket separately.

"I've applied anti-corrosion treatment, so this machine can also maintain the eye's activity for a short period of time," Peng Si explained, a deep emotion flashing across his face before quickly disappearing.

"Is this enough for you?"

Miao Yin closed the box, looked up at Peng Si, and said, "That's enough, more than enough, Captain Peng. I'm very satisfied with this deal."

Peng Si said, "Then, may I ask a few more questions?"

"Tell me."

Are you a person with multiple superpowers?

"No," Miao Yin answered crisply.

Peng Si paused for a moment, then asked again.

"Then how did you know that Li Kangping had influence in Yecheng?"

The entire space fell silent upon hearing this. Peng Si stared intently at Miao Yin's expression, observing her every move.

Under the dim light of the flashlight, Miao Yin's expression was inscrutable.

"It seems you found out quite a bit before killing him. Why don't you tell me what you know first, Captain Peng?"

"You want to get something for nothing?" Peng Si asked.

"Maybe we're checking answers in the exam room?"

Peng Si did not refute much.

He was well aware of their situation and his current predicament.

No matter how great his abilities are, he can't overcome the person in front of him unless that supernatural power is eliminated.

So Peng Si said, "Back then, when you made a deal with me to get one of Li Kangping's eyes, my first thought was, do you two have a grudge against each other? Otherwise, why would one of you want to find someone and the other want to gouge out an eye?"

"Oh? So it was him looking for me."

That explains it. No wonder the military personnel recognized her immediately, and Peng Si looked so shocked when she proposed the deal.

The person being sought after wants to kill the person who sought her out. As an unsuspecting middleman, one can't help but be shocked.

It's a truly vivid example of the butterfly effect; this kind of thing never happened in my past life.

“Li Kangping wields considerable power at the base. I wasn’t originally qualified to know much about him, but thanks to you, I was promoted and gained more power after returning to the base based on my contributions to the rescue. So I began to investigate some of Li Kangping’s affairs.”

"It was then that I learned that on the day the apocalypse came, Li Kangping's only son turned into a mutant, bit his mother who was eating with him to death on the spot, and was then shot dead by the military."

“Li Kangping was at the scene and witnessed everything. He himself had cancer, was in its late stage, and did not have long to live.”

"That sounds like a truly tragic life. Captain Peng is so righteous, how could he do such a thing?" Miao Yin curled her lips, feigning sarcasm before praising.

Peng Si paused for a moment: "You should know what happened next before I do, right?"

Miao Yin's expression was inscrutable, but she finally revealed a little information about herself: "—He did something he shouldn't have done in Yecheng."

“Since the base was established, people have frequently reported that people around them have gone missing. At first, we all thought that these people had run away or died from the mutant population, and we didn’t think too much about it until the police officers in charge discovered that most of the missing people were people with superpowers.”

Peng Si continued.

"Those with superpowers are different from ordinary people. In the base, as long as they are willing to work, they will receive better treatment. They are also stronger and won't be easily ambushed and killed by mutants. It's unacceptable for them to disappear without a trace like this—"

“It’s man-made.”

His tone became serious.

“And Li Kangping happens to be one of those people who has the ability to do this.”
