Chapter 421: Chapter 2: Best Friend (Part 2)

My best friend became my stepmother, which made the original owner feel a bit awkward. However, the woman always thought for the original owner in their interactions, and gradually, the original owner became much more natural.

But what she didn’t know was that her father never had a relationship with the woman again.

The woman was actually very annoyed in her heart.

Mr. Li, who was influenced by spiked drinks, was naturally robust due to his strong combat power. Although it was the woman’s first time, the near-death experience lingered in her heart.

Originally, she thought everything was going well, but she found things were not what she expected.

Her best friend remained her best friend, but the once good uncle, now her husband, could not become a good husband.

The man, who was nominally her husband, started leaving early and coming back late, often staying in the study.

The resentment in the woman’s heart grew deeper and deeper.

She didn’t know that the original owner’s father was genuinely busy. The world was constantly changing, and recent changes were exhausting for the man.

However, the woman didn’t know that. She thought the man was deliberately avoiding her.

In the book she read, it only mentioned the man losing his wife and always taking care of the original owner, being obedient to her.

Moreover, the book clearly marked her best friend as the protagonist.

While the original owner’s father was in a state of chaos, the apocalypse arrived without warning.

A red light covered the entire planet; there was no longer day and night, just an expanse of red glow.

This went on for three days and nights.

During these three days and nights, the original owner and the woman stayed at home.

But the original owner’s father was busy outside, not at home.

The original owner developed a high fever on the first night and became delirious.

The woman was terrified. Their place always had servants coming in the day and leaving at night. The apocalypse hit exactly during the night.

When morning came, the servants didn’t show up, and with the original owner having a fever, she didn’t dare take her to the hospital.

Their place was very safe, but from the second floor, she saw someone being bitten to death, so how could she dare go out?

Seeing the original owner burning up so fiercely, she filled the bathtub with cold water and threw the original owner in.

She had always been jealous of the original owner, thinking if the original owner died from the fever, no one would blame her.

Maybe without the original owner, she could get the man’s attention.

After all, she was the transcender; logically, she should have been the protagonist.

But this fever wasn’t an illness. If they survived it, their bodies would develop antibodies to resist the virus’s invasion.

The woman’s actions, if it were a real fever, would have cost the original owner half her life, even if she survived.

The original owner got through it.

She woke up to find herself lying in her room.

The woman had found the fever gradually subsiding, so she dragged the original owner back to the room. She was even a bit regretful, realizing now that she shouldn’t have dumped her in cold water.

After waking up, the original owner found that her body seemed different. Growing up in the military, her physical fitness was already better than the average person.

Now, it seemed there was endless power in her body, along with a mysterious force she couldn’t describe.

Even though she had been feverish and unclear, she noticed something was off. It was winter, and the sudden cold still caught her attention, but because her best friend was also her stepmother, she didn’t suspect her.

She only began to doubt the world, which had suddenly mutated.

When the woman saw that the original owner had somehow recovered unharmed, she couldn’t help but silently sigh at her great fortune.

After three days, the original owner’s father came to pick them up.

Only then did the woman learn that the world outside had undergone an earth-shaking change.

The red glow dissipated, leaving a blanket of white. Although there were days and nights now, even during the day, it seemed shrouded in a mist, obscuring visibility.

The woman was a normal person, while the original owner and her father had awakened superpowers.

Under her father’s guidance, the original owner began to train her superpowers.

The woman was once again filled with jealousy.

With the apocalypse descending, the man shouldered many responsibilities and naturally harbored no romantic thoughts.

In the woman’s heart, discontent grew.

The original owner’s father was constantly aiding people in the city. When they reached the woman’s house, her parents had already turned into zombies, but they weren’t her parents. She had transcended into this world, so she wasn’t saddened.

Seeing the woman’s indifference, the original owner’s father felt some inexplicable doubts about her sincerity towards the original owner.

The state of the apocalypse was very pessimistic. Along the way, everyone was quite distressed, especially the woman who, being a normal human, was in worse shape.

Fortunately, the original owner’s father held a high position, was knowledgeable, and had a clear goal he was heading towards.

On the road, they encountered another group.

The leader of that group was a charmingly wicked man.

The man always looked at the original owner with a longing gaze.

However, the man was also a Superpower User, and his teammates were strong, so the original owner couldn’t just have her father expel this group due to her personal feelings.

Before they reached their destination, the woman had already hooked up with that man and soon used zombies to kill the original owner’s father, and even controlled the original owner.

Subsequently, the original owner became the captive of those men.

Many thought the man liked the original owner, but what they didn’t know was that he was siphoning off her superpower.

The man’s superpower was peculiar; it could absorb other people’s powers.

But after absorbing a few times, he found that his body couldn’t accommodate too many powers.

He slowly realized that his own powers would react to particularly strong superpowers. So he stopped absorbing aimlessly and began looking for powerful targets.

The woman, without doubt, had greatly helped him.

For the obedient woman, he didn’t mind keeping her, and her behavior reinforced his manhood, boosting his confidence.

His previous intense focus on the original owner was due to his superpower reacting.

Not long after, the original owner, having been drained of her powers, became an ordinary person and died a few days later.

Thankfully, she died with her honor intact.

Before she died, she clearly saw the woman flirting with that man.

She even heard the woman with loathing, listing all her alleged crimes.

The original owner puzzled, had she asked the woman to be her friend?

Initially, the original owner didn’t care much. After all, her father was dead, and if she died, so be it.

However, when she heard the woman say that it was she who pushed the original owner’s father into the zombie horde and even shot him in the leg, she felt different.

The woman claimed she had watched as the zombies ripped the original owner’s father apart.

She even gloatingly said, “How pitiful, he was supposed to be the big boss. I went out of my way to please him, not knowing he was a weakling. If I’d known earlier, I wouldn’t have put in so much effort climbing into bed.”

Finally understanding the truth, the original owner felt a bit desperate. Had she invited a wolf into her house?

But unfortunately, she couldn’t take revenge; her body couldn’t hold on much longer.

As expected, she died soon after, filled with intense hatred.
