In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.

So that's what it was.

It feels like I just saved him yesterday, and I've already forgotten to ask him for anything in return.

I have to save him again today.

What kind of fate is this?

Using her mental senses, she determined that Xue Li hadn't been bitten by the python, only suffered minor external skin abrasions. She was also suffering from hypothermia due to being in the snow for too long and urgently needed medical attention.

They're pretty lucky; they finally got to see themselves.

While using her wood energy healing abilities to treat him, Hongtang observed the surrounding situation.

The Mercedes SUV was overturned on the side, with signs of bumps and minor dents on the body, but it appeared to still be drivable.

The driver's side door was half open, and some odds and ends of supplies were scattered out from the back seat.

Hongtang guessed that Xue Li's tires might have slipped while driving, and given his serious injuries, he was momentarily disoriented, causing the car to overturn. Since he was still conscious at that time, he opened the car door and got out to save himself.

But then he was ambushed by a mutated python. Just then, Ha Ge and the wolf pack arrived and helped him kill the mutated python. However, he was exhausted and fainted.

Then the wolf pack wanted to eat him and the python, but HaGe disagreed, so they started arguing.

"Meow!" Ha Ge came closer, his barbed tongue curling around Xue Li's face.

Seeing that the treatment was almost complete, Hongtang withdrew her hand and pulled Ha Ge over. "Ha Ge, stop fooling around. His face is covered, only his eyes are showing. If you keep licking his eyelids, you'll suck them off completely." That would only make things worse.

After putting the wolves back into her spatial dimension, Hongtang put Xue Li's Mercedes-Benz back into her space and then put it out again, turning the overturned car right itself.

Confirming that Xue Li was unconscious, Hong Tang quickly put him into her spatial storage and placed him on the back seat of the car. However, he was too tall to lie down comfortably, so she could only let him curl up. Si Si volunteered to secure him to the seat to prevent him from being thrown off when the car started moving.

She tidied up the supplies on the ground; there weren't many, just enough for the back of the truck. Then she and Brother Ha got into the truck.

It was cold in the car. She and Ha Ge weren't bothered, but Xue Li was sick and couldn't stand the cold. She had no choice but to turn on the heater.

Even if Xue Li wakes up and notices the difference in the heater, there's no need to worry about him suspecting anything. After all, humans have already migrated to other planets, so these kinds of high-tech gadgets aren't too surprising.

The fact that the heater needs to be "lit" with crystal cores is hard to explain. After all, the apocalypse has only lasted a few months, and the uses of crystal cores are not yet widely known.

But why bother explaining? We could just shut them up.

He was saved twice, but only killed once; he still came out ahead.

"The first joint operation between Yangcheng's First and Second Bases has been a complete success..."

"Yangcheng's No. 1 Base is officially recruiting individuals with special abilities, offering high salaries, meals and accommodation, and five social insurances and one housing fund..."

"The total number of survivors at Yangcheng Second Base has surpassed 80. A quota-based and access-limited system will be implemented starting today..."

"Mission issued: Zombie clearing at Biyue Manor, reward 1 points, registration location: Service hall of Yangcheng First Base and Second Base..."

"Good news! Good news! Yangcheng Agricultural Research Institute has developed seeds for extremely cold-weather crops, priced between 1 and 5 points. Available for purchase at..."

"Based on the military's current understanding of the zombies, their fatal weakness lies in their brains. Destroying the brain will kill the zombies. We urge all survivors to bravely take up arms and actively confront this threat..."

A black Mercedes SUV sped across the snow, gradually growing from a small black dot into a moving black box as it approached.

Inside the car, a high-tech radio shaped like a cell phone sits on the dashboard, constantly broadcasting various information.

Zizzi~zizi~

Hongtang stretched out her finger and pressed a button on the top of the radio to switch channels.

"Hi fellow survivors, this is Haicheng Xinghai Base. I'm Hai Chenghui, the base commander. Survivors from all cities are welcome to join our base..."

Hongtang raised an eyebrow slightly. This Starsea Base didn't sound like an official base. Chi Ye had said that the radio could only receive messages from official bases. Now it seemed that the official base had already connected with various private bases.

"This is Ancheng Starfire Base. We have just been attacked by a zombie horde and are requesting backup from nearby bases. Ancheng Starfire Base is under attack by a zombie horde and requests backup! Ah! ... Roar! ...

Hongtang didn't know where Ancheng was, but it was probably a small city. Just from the screams of the person broadcasting, she knew he was likely dead. And the deafening roars of the zombies—even through the airwaves, Hongtang could imagine how ferocious they were.

Sigh, zombie horde, a new term.

Hongtang sighed. How many zombies would constitute a zombie horde? And how many survivors would be able to escape unscathed?

When zombies were mentioned, surprisingly, she didn't immediately think of crystal cores.

Unable to bear listening any longer, Hongtang decisively changed the frequency.

Zizzi~zizi~

"This is the Longxing Base in Beijing. I am Commander Dai Jianyu, Number 3. On behalf of the Chinese military, I will now announce the research findings regarding superpowers and zombies, as follows: 1. Human supernatural abilities are officially named 'Superpowers'; 2. Currently discovered types of superpowers include metal, wood, water, fire, earth, lightning, ice, etc... If you have other special types of superpowers, please report to your respective city's official base immediately; 3. Zombie crystal cores can enhance human superpower levels; 4. A zombie virus inhibitor is under development and has achieved initial success... *sizzle* This disaster is a global catastrophe, but the Chinese military will not abandon any survivor. We hope that all survivors will unite and overcome this difficult time together..."

Oh, this is the first time official research findings have been shared. It seems that the military and government of the Dragon Kingdom acted swiftly and successfully in response to this disaster. Hongtang gave a big thumbs up in her heart.

"A breaking news announcement: China officially announced today its withdrawal from international spaceflight and will independently launch a manned spacecraft to land on Planet Blue. All citizens of China are advised to adjust their plans accordingly..."

Hmm? What caused this falling out?

It's not uncommon for countries to be kicked out of international spaceflight before, but I never expected it to be China this time.

But then I realized that it must be those powerful nations trying to take advantage of this planetary crisis to sanction China.

They truly harbor undying ambitions to destroy our Dragon Kingdom.

hateful!

But how could the mighty dragon kingdom, with its 7000-year history, be outmaneuvered by such treacherous schemes!

International Space Technology should just wait for the day they are proven wrong.

However, at the beginning of this apocalyptic world where zombies roam the earth, it would be a miracle if humanity didn't unite to overcome the difficulties and instead engaged in infighting.

Hongtang sighed a few more times and turned off the radio.

I can't listen to it anymore; it's annoying and makes me feel uneasy.

Seeing that no one was around, Hongtang stored the car in her spatial storage and used her mental power to create a mental barrier around it. Even if Xue Li woke up, she wasn't afraid he would discover that something was amiss.

Seeing that he was in good condition and had fallen into a deep sleep, Hongtang fed him some glucose water before returning to her own bedroom.

After having dinner with Ha Ge and the others, Hong Tang couldn't wait to take the Longevity Pill. This was a miraculous elixir that could add 500 years to her lifespan!

With an excited heart and trembling hands, after taking the pill, she only felt a warm energy surging through her body, eventually gathering in her lower abdomen. Apart from that, there was nothing unusual.

Then drowsiness came over her, and Hongtang's vision blurred for a moment before she quickly drifted off to sleep.

In her dream, she found herself swimming freely in a golden ocean. Soon, the seawater began to change into various shapes, including fish, shrimp, seaweed, birds, and beasts. Finally, they transformed into liquid golden armor, enveloping her entire body and constantly moving, changing, and conforming to her form.

Then, the golden armor began to shrink and solidify, eventually turning into a lifeless golden figure.

"Phew, that scared me to death!" A strong feeling of palpitation made Hongtang sit up with a start from her dream. She grabbed the folding aluminum mirror on the bedside table and looked at herself in it.

"Good heavens, what on earth happened?!" The person in the mirror clearly looked like himself when he was fifteen or sixteen years old.

Could it be that the pill I took last night wasn't an elixir of immortality that could prolong life, but rather a pill that could reverse aging?
