After paying a price in injuries, they seized the opportunity to take down Li Jie. As for Ling Xue, the woman had survived for a reason; she was sharp. At first, she fought fiercely alongside them, but upon Yun Zhi Yue's appearance, she abandoned Li Jie and fled without a word. Li Jie became the scapegoat, while Ling Xue reacted quickly and escaped disaster.
Yun Zhi Yue raised an eyebrow; it seemed that she would not be able to deal with Ling Xue before her death. With her rare psychic abilities akin to Ye Yao's and a deep-seated grudge, Ling Xue would inevitably become entangled with Ye Yao in the future. That was another story she would not live to see.
After killing Li Jie, the team returned to Ning An. By the time they reached the supermarket, she had less than four months left. Within the team, aside from Shen Xingchuan being the sharp blade, it was usually Wen Yu who devised strategies. Everyone anticipated Wen Yu's upgrade.
Although she had already reached level ten, which was considered the ceiling, it was unlikely that this world would see another level ten Ability; overly advanced powers could once again disrupt the stabilized order. The World Will would never allow that.
On the day Wen Yu upgraded, the higher-ups of Ning An were all waiting for her to produce a level ten Ability and secure their position as one of the Three Major Bases. However, when Wen Yu successfully upgraded, Yin Liangchen—who had been struggling in the experience chamber—also achieved his goal. With his level ten mutated ice Ability unleashed, Wen Yu found herself overshadowed.
The people from Peach Blossom Base were ecstatic. Watching as snow and ice enveloped Yun's Supermarket in an instant, Yun Zhi Yue sighed against Shen Xingchuan's shoulder: "I wanted to lend a hand to Ning An, but it seems that's not going to happen."
Yin Liangchen was chosen as the world’s protagonist after the restoration of the World Will; no one could overshadow him with such preferential treatment.
Shen Xingchuan shrugged it off: "Everyone has their own path to walk. If you can't help them, just focus on ourselves."
Yun Zhi Yue huffed: "I feel like I've gone through a tribulation and come out heartless, but compared to you, I'm still far behind. You don't have those memories; these teammates have weathered many storms with you—doesn't that count for anything?"
"Of course it does," he replied. "But I can only care about what I have strength for at this moment. Right now, all I think about is you and me; in my heart, you're the most important."
Yun Zhi Yue giggled: "Among all reincarnations, you're the best at sweet-talking; it's truly charming."
"What is it about you that attracts others?" Shen Xingchuan asked suddenly.
Yun Zhi Yue's eyelid twitched—this was not good; jealousy was brewing. She took off running into the distance as Shen Xingchuan let out a cold laugh and chased after her. She looked even more beautiful when she was unconscious on his bed.
The last few months passed in the blink of an eye, and the number of zombies gradually decreased. However, the conflicts among the three races began to increase, an inevitability in these turbulent times.
Among the humans, Yin Liangchen emerged as the strongest. In order to fend off the Blood Clan and the Werewolves, he sought to leave the Peach Blossom Base and establish the Hunter Association, dedicated to hunting down both Blood Clan members and Werewolves.
On the side of the Blood Clan, Ye Zhi was also busy forming a power of his own, while the Werewolf leader, Ling Xue, was doing the same. Although there were no major confrontations at present, the war among these three factions was only just beginning as the apocalypse drew to a close.
