Chapter 422: Chapter 3: Best Friend (Part 3)

Li Shuning absorbed the entire plot, naturally aware of everything within the story.

The man the woman was with was a special existence; such a superpower probably only existed in this world.

In the plot, the original protagonist and that man had also encountered each other. That man once had designs on the original protagonist, but the original protagonist was powerful and her father even more so. That man couldn’t get his way and instead was taught a harsh lesson.

In the novel’s world, the heroine was always saving humanity and eliminating zombies.

She and her father went to a secret base on the Alliance’s side. Her father was already a high-ranking member of the Alliance, coupled with possessing a superpower, and he was trusted by the upper echelons who unanimously wanted the original protagonist’s father to lead. So he began to direct the base.

Through the efforts of the father and daughter, many survivors were saved, and the heroine’s strength continued to grow as the zombies continued to strengthen.

Only more powerful individuals could ensure humanity’s survival.

It’s said that the man absorbed others’ superpowers and finally one day hit a wall and was killed.

With the advent of the Transcender’s plot, some things changed drastically because of the deaths of the original protagonist and her father.

The base leadership changed, and an outsider took control, naturally unwilling for ordinary Alliance officials to dominate them.

In their view, in chaotic times, only the power of arms mattered.

Those ordinary people ended up miserably.

However, they were utterly unaware that although the upper echelons hadn’t awakened superpowers, they were extremely gifted in management.

The outsider was powerful but had no talent for management, and the base soon fell into chaos.

Soon after, due to a zombie siege, many people died.

And the man who brought the woman arrived at the base; with his strong power, he took control of the base and started to dominate.

He also absorbed some of the more excellent superpowers within the base.

What he did was merely killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.

Like his predecessor, when zombies attacked, many more died.

And the woman, immersed in the lust the man provided, wouldn’t care about that.

She thought she was already the leader’s woman of the base, above others, so why care about anything else?

What she didn’t know was that she was merely a common person; aside from being a source of superpower for the man, she held no more value to him, oh, except as a tool for pleasure.

When he grew bored, the man perversely sliced the woman’s flesh, piece by piece, while she was clean one day, and roasted it to eat.

The woman wept in agony, while the man laughed, saying it had been a long time without eating meat, and he wanted to taste human flesh.

At that moment, the woman felt regret for choosing to walk with a wolf.

It’s a pity there’s no medicine for regrets in this world.

Additionally, without the heroine and her father, the surviving populace shrank.

In effect, the woman was harming everyone because of the pure Transcender’s superiority, vanity, and desire.

That man, even though he devoured many superpowers, couldn’t save the base. Moreover, due to absorbing too many, he eventually exploded and died.

Ultimately, the world became a realm of zombies, with no humans left.

Li Shuning took a sharp breath; was this really the ending?

She arrived in this world, still a normal world.

The original protagonist had met the woman several times, already regarding her as a friend.

It seemed they had arranged to hang out today.

Sure enough, soon after, a servant brought her in.

Li Shuning didn’t move, continuing to watch TV.

As if she hadn’t noticed anyone coming.

Zhang Yuanyuan looked at Li Shuning nestled on the sofa, watching TV joyously, feeling vexed inside.

She was already here, yet ignored; it was a kind of humiliation to her.

Yet she couldn’t get angry; otherwise, what would become of her efforts?

Zhang Yuanyuan waited a long time; Li Shuning seemed not to notice her at all and continued watching TV.

Zhang Yuanyuan grew tired of standing. After contemplating, she sat next to Li Shuning: “Shuning, I’ve been here for so long; why aren’t you acknowledging me? I’ve been standing for ages; my legs are sore.”

Li Shuning then seemed to awaken, happily grabbing Zhang Yuanyuan’s hand: “Yuanyuan, you’re here! Why didn’t you call me? I was on the base, unaware of this entertaining TV drama.”

Li Shuning was watching a popular drama of this world, indeed very funny.

Zhang Yuanyuan’s smile appeared stiff.

She felt somewhat distraught inside; how did it become her fault when Li Shuning ignored her?

Nevertheless, Zhang Yuanyuan still managed a smile.

“Shuning, there’s more fun stuff around! You’re just fond of staying home alone. When there’s time, I’ll accompany you somewhere.”

Li Shuning observed Zhang Yuanyuan, visibly irate yet forcing herself to smile, feeling secretly pleased.

At that moment, the original protagonist’s mother was still there and knew Zhang Yuanyuan had arrived. She came out to greet her.

That day, Zhang Yuanyuan sensed something amiss.

Originally, Li Shuning wasn’t this annoying, yet today she seemed odd, frequently inciting anger for no reason.

Once Zhang Yuanyuan left, Li Shuning sneered, prioritizing preventing her mother’s mishap.

In a month’s time, her mother would be in trouble.

Li Shuning continually cultivated over the days, and soon her body and Qi Refinement Second Level cultivation merged.

Of course, for survival, Li Shuning commenced practicing martial arts.

She aimed to strengthen herself.

Her current spiritual power should be considered quite potent.

However, it’s still insufficient, for this world’s apocalypse is distinct from those she had experienced; it’s even more brutal.

Li Shuning’s martial training didn’t arouse others’ suspicion since she used to exercise in the yard.

Besides martial training, Li Shuning made several outings, acquiring plentiful supplies.

Inside her Qiankun Ring, despite holding numerous items, it was enormous and not fully packed.

Yet these supplies were insufficient.

After filling her Qiankun Ring during outings, she brought things back home.

The house had a large villa and a massive basement, needing to be filled at least.

The basement was usually unattended and had a fingerprint lock.

Previously, Li Yang used the basement for training, stocking weapons and equipment inside.

However, Li Shuning knew that until the apocalypse arrived, her father never utilized the basement again.
