Qi Runzhou and Kang Wanying, who had lost their way, were unknowingly drawn towards a mysterious complex, along with Zhang Yu and Xu Qiubai, who were approaching from the same direction. It was as if a hidden realm, once surrounded by thorns and mist, had suddenly opened its doors to grant them entry.
Meanwhile, at H Base, Zhan Yixiao was being cornered by Zombies from other bases. He faced an ultimatum: join the Zombie Alliance or die. This forced him to retaliate in self-defense, leading to a bloody power struggle and massacre within the Zombie Realm.
In the human world, the Huaxia Army led by Qin Wujiao and the Government Army led by Jiang Zhilin had each endured nearly a thousand power struggles, resulting in a trend of dual dominance.
At this moment, the truth behind the Battle of Huiyang was revealed. Years ago, driven by ambition and fear of secrets leaking, Jiang Zhilin had ordered a massacre in Huiyang City. In reality, less than one percent of those killed had turned into Zombies; most were innocent civilians who became victims of political ambition. Only a girl and a boy hiding in their home’s cellar escaped the tragedy.
They were rescued by the Huaxia Army and, grateful for their justice and kindness, revealed the truth about that fateful day, causing significant trouble for Jiang Zhilin.
Although the delayed truth could not bring justice to the souls wrongfully lost, it sparked immense controversy in the human world. However, Jiang Zhilin's carefully crafted positive image over the years led his supporters to denounce the Huaxia Army as despicable, accusing them of slandering their great leader.
Amidst the heated debates, a group emerged to share their harrowing experiences. This group consisted of nearly a hundred individuals, mostly children, and their voices garnered recognition. Leading them was Fengshan from the Yan Tribe. Their testimony dropped like a bombshell; no one expected that the century-old tragedy of this minority group was orchestrated by Squad under S Base. Calls for retribution surged.
Skeptics questioned why the so-called righteous Government Army would establish such a brutal squad and what their true intentions were—whether it was to eliminate dissenters or pursue ulterior motives—demanding clarity from the government.
Supporters argued that everything was hearsay; even if someone came forward claiming injustice, its authenticity remained uncertain. Who knew how ugly politics could be?
There were also neutral parties—rational thinkers without conflicts of interest—who remained observant and proactive. Others were indifferent, unconcerned with how those in power handled matters; in this apocalyptic world, every extra day lived was a bonus. They felt there was no point in worrying about anything else.
Initially, Jiang Zhilin and the Government Army were significantly stronger than Qin Wujiao's Huaxia Army. However, as firearms became scarce, both sides increasingly relied on abilities in combat. This brought attention to Su Ruolan's foundational work for the Huaxia Corps and Fourth Regiment. After returning to H Base occupied by Zhan Yixiao, Kong Xiang and Cheng Xi gathered all surviving civilians capable of activating abilities during battles against Zombies to form Lan Team. They underwent continuous training and became a formidable force under Qin Zhi Han and the Huaxia Army, serving as the mainstay against the Government Army.
Although Su Ruolan did not often make an appearance, all the soldiers in the troops deeply remembered her. They knew that as long as Ruo Lan was around, they had nothing to worry about and could charge forward without hesitation. Now that Ruo Lan had temporarily left, they still maintained a strong sense of responsibility. They were determined to work hard so that when Ruo Lan returned, she would see everyone's growth.
Everything was incredible, yet it all made sense. Although Su Ruolan was not in the mortal realm, she inadvertently influenced the development of the situation.
