Chapter 128: Chapter 21: Queen’s Return

In this world, zombies are growing in numbers, and they are also evolving, slowly gaining intelligence. The siege events are becoming more frequent.

With Li Shuning overseeing, the Baijing Base has always remained strong and has never been breached.

Gradually, the reputation of Baijing Base spread, and more and more superpower users migrated to Baijing Base.

The number of superpower users at the base increased, and there were strong ones too. However, there was a betrayal once, and the original members have a deeply ingrained belief that following Li Shuning is the safest way and ensures they have meat to eat.

Li Shuning was generous with her old team, and their abilities improved faster than others.

With their help, Li Shuning had strong control over the base.

In general, unless it was very urgent, Li Shuning mainly focused on cultivation in the hotel.

After several years, Baijing Base was clearly too small, so Li Shuning led the superpower users to migrate to Song City.

The female zombie that originally occupied Song City had become even more formidable by then, but in the entire Song City, it was the only zombie.

However, Li Shuning didn’t let others take action, as she had a deep grudge with it.

Li Shuning’s superpower rank was higher than that of the female zombie, and with her spiritual power, she didn’t even use the hovercar, taking down the zombie directly, thereby naturally taking over Song City as well.

After killing the zombie, Li Shuning found a relatively secluded place in Song City to bury her parents’ ashes, offering the zombie’s head as a tribute to console the spirits of her parents in heaven.

As for the people who were originally kept in captivity in Song City, Li Shuning didn’t interfere and kept the old rule: however others fared, so did they. If they couldn’t abide by it, they had to leave Song City.

By the eighth year after the world changed, Li Shuning had already become a Tenth Rank Superpower User, and her ability was the strongest.

Most superpower users from the north flocked to Song City.

When Li Shuning saw Xue Han and Li Shuyan again, there was not a hint of warmth in her eyes; she had them directly driven out.

By then, Xue Han was already a Sixth Rank Superpower User, while Li Shuyan remained stuck at Fourth Rank, seemingly unable to break through.

As for the others who had originally followed them, they had all disappeared.

In the chaos of the world, they likely had all died.

After being chased out of Song City, Xue Han was filled with frost, unable to stop recalling the past.

If, back when Li Shuyan attacked Li Shuning, he had firmly stood by Li Shuning’s side; if he had not married Li Shuyan; if he had not listened to Li Shuyan’s instigation to take over Baijing Base—would things not have ended up so tragically?

He couldn’t help but recalled each quarrel, where Li Shuyan would always say she changed for his sake. She originally had a bright future and was advancing her skills quickly, but because she got pregnant, she took a zombie’s punch for everyone, harming her body and hindering her ability advancement today, always reminding him of her sacrifices for him.

Xue Han found Li Shuyan’s nagging increasingly unbearable.

Thinking of Li Shuning in Song City, originally she would have been his wife, beautiful and strong. Had he never left her, today’s glory would have included him too. Glancing at the disheveled Li Shuyan, not knowing how long she hadn’t bathed, exuding an odor, he didn’t even want to get close. Without comparison, there’s no harm.

Li Shuyan was once a tomboy, and Li Shuning was the princess; why did he marry someone like her back then?

He never considered that no matter what, Li Shuyan had never wronged him, and even saved their family many times.

Leaving Song City, they planned to go south to another base, as they almost had no place in the north anymore.

On the way south, when Xue Han and Li Shuyan encountered a Seventh Rank zombie, Xue Han, watching the zombie reaching for him, couldn’t help but grab Li Shuyan and throw her forward to shield himself, then quickly ran away.

Li Shuyan never expected Xue Han would treat her like this.

The former great hero in her eyes, how could he become like this, using her as a scapegoat?

Why did Xue Han protect her sister even when she had no superpower, but when it was her turn, she ended up like this?

A tear rolled down the corner of Li Shuyan’s eye: did she make a mistake? If she had returned that day and improved her abilities with the family, wouldn’t it be different now?

Would her sister have protected her too?

Yeah, she was wrong. Mom and Dad, sorry. Sister, I’m sorry.

She was too stubborn, the betrayal and suffering from the past made her extreme, always wanting the best, using any means if she couldn’t get it.

I’m sorry.

At the moment her tear hit the ground, the zombie’s hand went through Li Shuyan’s chest, grabbing her heart and stuffing it into its mouth.

Until death, Li Shuyan’s eyes remained open.

Li Shuyan died, at the hands of the person she loved the most.

Although Xue Han escaped, his fate wasn’t much better. In this world, encountering Seventh or Eighth Rank zombies frequently, as a Sixth Rank Superpower User, going south was nearing impossibility.

In the end, Xue Han also died at the hands of zombies.

Li Shuning learned about these events when she completed the mission and returned to the real world, as 006 told her.

Li Shuning only sighed and said nothing more; one wrong step leads to many. One must not harbor ill intentions; with malicious intent, don’t blame others for treating you harshly.

She had a clear conscience.

This time, Li Shuning requested a crystal from a Tenth Rank zombie.

She could go to the mission small world and look for things to counteract the virus within the crystal. The crystal contains immense energy, which can be absorbed if someday she goes to a more dangerous world.

This time, she gained twelve Space-Time Energy Points. Li Shuning returned home and slept soundly.

In that world, every day was tense.

Even during the days in Song City, she didn’t dare relax for a moment.

Who knows if the next moment wouldn’t be facing a siege by high-rank zombies?

Or being stabbed in the back by her own kind.

She never dared to let her guard down.

After sleeping a whole day, Li Shuning woke up and saw the warm sunlight outside, a smile appearing on her face.

It’s good to be back in her own world.

She arranged her things and went to her parents’ place.

After taking her elixir pills, her parents were in good health. Seeing Li Shuning return home, they were very happy, preparing a table full of dishes for her.

Seeing the gentle glow in her parents’ eyes, Li Shuning’s heart slowly settled.

All negative emotions from the zombie world were also completely settled.
