Apocalypse: The White Moonlight Became a Possessive Mad Dog

Cheng Ruoyan, wrapped in a coat, walked quickly toward them.

When Cheng Ruoyan first heard the news, her heart sank. The only person living in the basement of the research institute was her good-for-nothing uncle.

"Miss Cheng."

Cheng Ruoyan nodded. "How is it?"

"...Mr. Cheng is probably already..." The man didn't dare to finish his sentence.

The fire intensified instead of subsiding, and starting just now, large amounts of charred debris began to emerge from the stairwell leading from the basement to the second floor, which was impossible to contain.

This means that Cheng Gaolang's space has shattered, supplies have exploded all over the place, and there is only one way out: death.

Upon hearing the news, Cheng Ruoyan took a deep breath, her eyes reddening.

"...Fight the fire! What are you standing there for? Go put out the fire!"

The superhumans formed a small team to handle the quarantine and firefighting efforts.

The team includes three novice water-based ability users who are usually responsible for supplying the base with drinking water. If the three of them work together, they might have a chance to extinguish the fire. But if they do, half of the base will be without water tomorrow.

After weighing the pros and cons, they had no choice but to give up.

"Miss Cheng, Mr. Cheng Gaolang has too many supplies in his space. There are too many uncertainties in extinguishing the fire, and we don't know how much water we will need."

The leader of the water-based ability users did not want to take this risk.

The people are already dead, what's the point of them putting out the fire?

"Are you deaf? I told you to put out the fire! Now you're not even listening to me?!" Cheng Ruoyan's usual gentle demeanor vanished. "My uncle is inside!"

Shen Chengyin stood aside, quietly watching Cheng Ruoyan cause trouble.

To others, the woman's erratic behavior appeared as one of utter grief after losing a loved one. But he clearly saw that Cheng Ruoyan wanted to know what was in Cheng Gaolang's spatial dimension.

If it's all burned completely, it will be too late.

At Cheng Ruoyan's insistence, the three water-based ability users reluctantly stepped forward and began to extinguish the fire.

Shen Chengyin was not in a hurry to leave, and quietly stood in the crowd to wait for the result.

Su Han went home and fell asleep immediately.

He even plotted in his dreams how to kill Cheng Yibin.

In the original story, the male protagonist also awakened his psychic abilities after enduring all kinds of torture. He escaped the revival base only by relying on his powerful burst of strength, and was constantly pursued by Cheng Yibin's men. Finally, he managed to hide in a secluded mountain village and get a chance to catch his breath.

He wouldn't let Shen Chengyin suffer the same torment as in the original story; otherwise, if the male lead accidentally turned evil again, who would he cry to?

"If all else fails, just run away with the male lead. You can come back for revenge after he awakens his psychic abilities." The system whispered in Su Han's ear.

Anyway, Shen Chengyin is destined to be the male protagonist. Sooner or later, he will awaken six superpowers and become a god in the new world.

Revenge is not something that can be rushed.

Su Han didn't think so, but he was too tired to argue with the system, so he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Perhaps because she kept talking about Shen Chengyin before going to sleep, Su Han saw Shen Chengyin in her dream.

In the dream, there was a wasteland, and a man covered in blood was kneeling among the broken rubble.

There were many people around, their blurry faces bearing sinister smiles. Su Han saw Wang Jiafu, Cheng Yibin, Cheng Gaolang, and many other unfamiliar faces.

They were all people who betrayed Shen Chengyin in the book.

The sky was overcast, as if it had just rained heavily.

Su Han stumbled and ran toward Shen Chengyin, but couldn't get close no matter what she did.

He shouted Shen Chengyin's name in his dream, when suddenly he was pushed on the shoulder by a force and fell to the ground.

It doesn't hurt at all.

He felt no pain and couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or in reality.

He struggled against that force, and finally woke up from his dream with a start, his eyes wide open and his heart pounding.

"What's wrong? Did you have another nightmare?" the system asked with concern.

"I saw Shen Chengyin in my dream." Su Han said with lingering fear.

The sense of powerlessness he felt in his dream was so unlike him.

[...] The system was silent for a few seconds, [He came while you were asleep.]

Shen Chengyin arrived shortly after Su Han fell asleep, like a customer picking out radishes in a supermarket, carefully pushing Su Han's shoulders and turning her over a few times.

It seems they are checking if Su Han is injured.

Seeing that Shen Chengyin meant no harm, the system remained silent.

After the man finished his examination, he had no intention of waking Su Han, and climbed out the window and left.

Su Han was still in shock, staring blankly out the window.

It was early morning, just as the sky was beginning to brighten.

"The fire is probably still burning, and Cheng Yibin won't release them. Why is Shen Chengyin back at this time?" Su Han murmured.

The system muttered to itself: [It probably sneaked back; it couldn't have come back specifically to bring you breakfast.]

The next second, it saw Su Han pull two hot meat buns out of the quilt.

system:【………】

When did that thing shove it in? How come it didn't see it?

Meat buns—in a post-apocalyptic world, no normal person would even dare to dream of such a thing. Let alone hot ones.

It's estimated that even someone like Cheng Yibin hasn't had a single meal since the start of the apocalypse.

Su Han held two meat buns in his hands, not eating them, just staring at them. The system, fearing he might be inexplicably moved again, quickly urged him:

Hurry up and eat, my goodness, it'll get cold soon!

Su Han hummed in agreement, then took two big bites, stuffing her mouth full.

Firefighting efforts are still ongoing.

The fire was too intense, and the supplies continuously pouring out of Cheng Gaolang's space contained too many flammable materials. The difficulty of fighting this fire far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Later, Cheng Ruoyan found several firefighters who had firefighting experience before the apocalypse. The group worked together and it took them two full days to extinguish the fire.

During this time, Cheng Ruoyan stayed at the fire site without leaving, eating and sleeping in the tent. Cheng Yibin came to check on her a few times, said a few words to Cheng Ruoyan, and then quietly left.

The entire Fuxing Base was shrouded in an inexplicable low pressure. Even Cheng Yibin's subordinates could clearly feel that their boss's expression had been very unpleasant these past few days.

After the fire was extinguished, Cheng Ruoyan ignored everyone's attempts to stop her and immediately stepped into the burning building in her little leather shoes.

When she saw the mess of charred grain scraps and ashes scattered all over the ground, her heart sank.

Prior to this, dozens of superhumans who were helping to put out the fire and clean up the scene had entered the site in advance, and everyone saw that among the burned supplies were the food bags that had been lost from the Revival Base.

Most of these superhumans are free agents, and Cheng Ruoyan can't shut them up.

"There's a body there!" A scream erupted from the crowd searching through the wreckage.

Immediately, people with superpowers rushed over, but unfortunately the corpse was charred beyond recognition, and only a human shape could be barely made out. It was impossible to tell whether it was male or female.

The crowd couldn't bear to look. Some glanced at Cheng Ruoyan, and seeing her pale face, they couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

Seeing the corpse of a loved one is truly a terrible feeling...

"There's...there's another body here!"

Another voice rang out, and the entire room fell silent for a few seconds.
