Listening to Xuan Mo's words, Liu You'er’s expression darkened slightly.
"Sending?"
Various guesses flashed through her mind, but she still fixed her gaze on Xuan Mo's eyes, as if trying to see through him.
"Heh~ How much longer do you plan to stay on me?"
"..."
Liu You'er frowned, stood up from Xuan Mo, and said, "I will take very good care of the base! I hope you can fulfill your promise then!"
"I definitely will~"
As soon as Xuan Mo finished speaking, Liu You'er disappeared from the spot, and the pressure vanished along with her. At the same time, the restless Zombies rushed into the Haunted House, charging towards Xuan Mo.
"Another one gone!"
He shook his head helplessly, watching the surging Zombies as he rushed forward...
Ten days later
"Lord of the City? You're back?"
Liu You'er glanced at Nanye and then looked at the sky before lazily saying, "The weather is just average today."
Hearing these words, Nanye's eyes lit up. He took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Liu You'er before stepping back and calling a few people to move the Broadcast Transmitter and food from Liu You'er's vehicle to the storage room.
Liu You'er received the letter but didn't even look at it. She stuffed it into her pocket and only took it out to read once she returned to her room. A smile crept onto her face as she read, and she burned the letter until it turned to ash, scattering in the wind before she left the room.
The weather had warmed up, and temperatures were rising. Floral Shirt stood on high ground, supervising others as they built the city wall, sweating profusely and feeling utterly drained. He worked during the day and had to guide those monsters at night... It was a double torment for both body and mind; no one was suffering more than he was!
He looked at his now significantly reduced beer belly and sighed helplessly, feeling a pang in his heart. In the past, his son loved to sit on his big belly, happily bouncing around. Now...
"Zhuangzhuang, what's wrong? Don't scare your mother!"
"Wife, what's wrong with our son?"
Memories suddenly flooded his mind. Floral Shirt closed his eyes in pain, recalling how he rushed to his son's side only to see him bite into his wife's neck. The warm sensation of blood was still vivid in his memory...
"Hey!"
A faint female voice suddenly sounded behind him, startling him. He turned around in fear, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
Seeing his expression, Liu You'er felt puzzled but said nothing further. She simply threw the picture frame in her hand at him and stood there watching the workers.
Floral Shirt clumsily caught it, looking at Liu You'er with confusion. But as he got a good look at the frame, his hands began to tremble involuntarily. He glanced uncertainly at Liu You'er before turning the frame around.
In the photo was a man about 178 cm tall with a large beer belly wearing a suit, standing next to a woman in a gown who looked blissfully happy. Between them stood a small child who appeared to be two or three years old, with round eyes and a bright smile that was quite endearing.
"This..."
Floral Shirt His eyes were blurred with tears, and his hands trembled as he repeatedly stroked the photograph, looking both incredibly happy and painfully distressed.
“Thank you... really, thank you so much! Wuwu~ wuwuwu~ you actually helped me find it,”
Liu You'er looked at Floral Shirt's contradictory expression, feeling a stir in her heart, but her tone remained calm as she said, “I killed them.”
“Huh?”
Floral Shirt stared blankly at Liu You'er, seemingly unable to process her words.
“I killed your wife and son!”
It seemed that Floral Shirt finally understood Liu You'er's words; his lips moved slightly, and he lowered his head in despair. After a long time, Liu You'er finally heard his barely audible whisper.
“They... have been dead for a long time...”
Upon hearing this, Liu You'er fell silent and turned to leave. Floral Shirt looked so pitiful that it reminded her of her own past...
Two years later
As the virus evolved, more and more people began to evolve and gain Ability, but mutated creatures, Evolved Creatures, also emerged endlessly. Searching for supplies in the city had become nearly impossible.
Among the major bases, three factions appeared. One was like L Base, ruled by “Ying Lei,” where the way of life resembled that before the apocalypse. Although the evolved individuals were considered more noble, they did not exploit ordinary people and even provided free learning opportunities for children, making it relatively humane.
Another faction was like A City Base, ruled by “Underworld Water,” which revered the strong and practiced slavery. Ordinary people were treated like weeds, having no rights whatsoever, living under constant oppression, and were even used as bait for searching for supplies.
Of course, there are also government bases led by B City Base, equipped with the best gear, abundant supplies, and the most powerful Evolvers.
Especially within B City Base, the Five Elements: Diviner, Flame, Zhuge, Rose, and Spirit Guardian are stationed, making it an unattainable goal for other bases.
What they do not know is that there is also the research institute of W Doctor secretly operating beneath the major City Centers.
However, Zombies are not falling behind. After evolution, not only have intelligent psychic control Zombies emerged, but there are also suspected appearances of a Zombie King. The Zombie King has absolute command over Zombies and can control them across levels. Only B City Base has captured a glimpse of him through satellite monitoring, but since then, he has not been seen again.
In the image, he is accompanied by a female Zombie, leading researchers to suspect whether Zombies could evolve emotions similar to humans and even reproduce. If that were the case...
Human survival would be in jeopardy.
Therefore, under such circumstances, if the bases continue to act independently, humanity can only await extinction.
L Base
"Haah..."
Liu You'er returned to the base covered in blood, followed by a team of more than ten people. Everyone in the team looked at Liu You'er with admiration; although they were all bloodied like her, half of the blood on their bodies was their own while hers was from others.
Everyone had grown accustomed to this scene and busied themselves with their tasks.
Previously, Liu You'er would often go into the forest to fight. At that time, she would return covered in wounds, frightening them greatly. However, as time passed, her injuries became fewer until they disappeared entirely.
Since half a year ago when the base expanded and successfully incorporated the forest several miles away into its territory, Liu You'er has spent even longer periods in the forest fighting. The frequency of her excursions has increased as well; sometimes she would stay inside for over ten days at a time.
So, most of the base's minor affairs were handled by Nanye. At first, Nanye would offer some advice, but later, he simply went to train with Liu You'er, though he would return in no more than three days. The army was also required to survive independently in the monster-infested forest for 15 days to pass.
"City Lord, we just detected an electromagnetic signal from B City Base."
"What did it say?"
Nanye lowered his head and replied, "It hopes that all major bases will unite to combat the Zombies and meet in May at B City Base."
"Hah~ Combat the Zombies or fight for dominance?"
Liu You'er scoffed lightly, sitting in her chair as she said warmly, "Got it, you've worked hard. I'll give you a day off tomorrow; go on a date~"
"......"
Nanye felt a suspicious blush creeping up behind his ears and quietly withdrew.
"Liu You'er~ Long time no see, I've missed you~"
A seductive and deep voice echoed from behind. Liu You'er remained expressionless, sitting quietly until Xuan Mo walked in front of her. Only then did she raise an eyebrow and disdainfully say, "If you have something to say, say it. If not, get lost."
Xuan Mo smiled wickedly and turned to leave. Liu You'er was initially surprised by his unusual obedience today, but as soon as Xuan Mo reached the door, he casually said, "The doctor wants to see you~"
