Apocalypse: The White Moonlight Became a Possessive Mad Dog

Cheng Yibin's detached villa, basement.

Zhao Yue had been here for who knows how long, so long that she even felt there was nothing wrong with being here.

The basement is spacious and has a large bed. Meals are delivered three times a day, and there are no worries about showering or using the toilet.

On lucky days, there might even be two pieces of meat in the meal.

Compared to the turbulent life I had before arriving here, living in a basement couldn't be better.

During this time, Zhao Yue cried less, but after a good meal, she would shed tears whenever she thought of her brother.

Even though no one explicitly said they saw Zhao Guang's body after the base was destroyed, she could guess that Zhao Guang was probably dead.

Without her brother's protection in the apocalypse, and being an ordinary woman without any superpowers, her life was incredibly difficult.

So when Zhao Yue arrived at the Fuxing Base and heard that there was a superhuman named Shen Chengyin there, she was almost driven crazy with excitement.

Brother Shen was her brother's good friend, and also her good brother. Although they weren't related by blood, their bond was stronger than that of siblings. If she could find Brother Shen to rely on, she wouldn't have to worry about anyone bullying her anymore.

She had no connections and had been recruited by another team. In order to contact Shen Chengyin, Zhao Yue could only act like a madwoman, telling everyone she met that she was Shen Chengyin's sister and begging passersby on the street to take her to her older brother Shen.

Unexpectedly, Shen Chengyin didn't get what he was waiting for; instead, a beautiful woman appeared before him.

The woman said she would help her, but then she locked her up here and ignored her completely.

Zhao Yue was lying in bed when she suddenly heard the sound of a lock being opened coming from the direction of the basement door.

She thought the food delivery had arrived, so she sat up abruptly, but didn't see any food at the door.

The door opened, and a somewhat familiar woman walked in wearing a leather jacket and capri pants. A leather belt accentuated her slender waist, making her look both stylish and capable.

This was completely different from Cheng Ruoyan's usual style of dress. If Zhao Yue hadn't hated Cheng Ruoyan's face so much, she probably wouldn't have recognized that the person in front of her was the culprit who had locked her up here.

Zhao Yue immediately became alert and curled up in a corner of the bed.

"You don't need to be so scared. I'm here today to explain things to you and apologize."

Cheng Ruoyan's voice was very soft, her tone almost coaxing, making you want to listen a little longer.

"Thank you for staying here for so long. I am Cheng Ruoyan, the daughter of the leader of the Fuxing Base. Like you, I am an ordinary person without any superpowers."

Upon hearing that the other party was also an ordinary person without superpowers, Zhao Yue subconsciously relaxed her guard.

"If I'm not mistaken, you were brought in by a group of superhumans who entered the Fuxing Base, right? The day I first saw you, you were running around the streets with such a beautiful face, and everyone in the city noticed you," Cheng Ruoyan chuckled.

Zhao Yue remained wary and silent, but the hostility in her eyes as she looked at Cheng Ruoyan lessened.

"Don't worry, I just want to help you. I know that group of people aren't good people. Although I have a higher status, I can't openly snatch someone from other ability users. This is the only way I can get you out of their clutches."

I've dealt with those superhumans now. From now on, you'll stay by my side, and no one will dare bully you anymore, okay?

Cheng Ruoyan frowned slightly, her eyes glistening with moisture, looking like a gentle older sister shedding tears of heartache.

The other person not only spoke gently, but also expressed their pain so accurately.

A wave of sourness welled up in Zhao Yue's nose; the grievances she had suffered over the past few months erupted like a flood bursting its banks.

She curled up in a corner of the bed, her eyes red.

Seeing Zhao Yue's trembling shoulders, Cheng Ruoyan's smile deepened. She knelt on the bed, took a few steps forward, and pulled Zhao Yue into her arms.

"Don't be scared, sweetie. I've just been too busy lately and haven't had a chance to explain."

She comforted Zhao Yue while patting her back intermittently.

Zhao Yue finally let her tears, which she had been holding back, fall.

She buried her face in Cheng Ruoyan's chest and sobbed uncontrollably, tears and snot streaming down her face.

She felt so wronged; finally, someone understood her!

She finally has someone to rely on again!

After Shen Chengyin returned, Li Tianqian's main task was to find a way to rescue Zhao Yue from Cheng Ruoyan.

However, Cheng Ruoyan was under strict security. She had bodyguards with her wherever she went, and she didn't even know where she kept the key to the basement.

Li Tiangan spent several days circling around Cheng Yibin's villa, but couldn't find a breakthrough.

Just as he was about to give up on the plan, he suddenly heard the other superhumans he was having dinner with mention that a beautiful girl had recently arrived at the base.

Upon hearing that there was a woman, the other ability users immediately gathered around. Based on the description of the woman's appearance, Li Tiangan guessed that the girl was Zhao Yue.

Strange, wasn't Zhao Yue locked in the basement of the villa by Cheng Ruoyan? How could she have been seen by other people?

"Just listen to what I'm saying, but don't get any funny ideas. We can't mess with this girl."

"How so?" a bearded man asked.

"When I saw her, she was wearing a beautiful princess dress. I can't think of anyone else in our base who has a dress like that besides Miss Cheng."

In the apocalypse, survival is a problem for everyone. Most women dress smartly and simply. Only a privileged woman like Cheng Ruoyan, who has the backing of a leader, would wear long skirts and small leather shoes every day.

When everyone heard that the girl was related to Cheng Ruoyan, they all sighed with regret.

Cheng Ruoyan gave her own skirt to that girl, so she must have valued her a lot. These rough guys probably wouldn't even dream of doing that.

Li Tiangan sat to the side, silently listening to the conversations of those around him.

He packed his things and left, intending to tell Su Han and Shen Chengyin about it.

However, when he arrived at their dormitory, he learned that Su Han had accepted a mission and had just left the base that morning. Shen Chengyin was also nowhere to be found.

Li Tiangan couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses.

This guy just pried two thousand crystal cores out of Cheng Ruoyan's mouth, why is he still accepting missions!

Looking for trouble!

At the same time, in the wilderness a dozen kilometers away from the Fuxing Base, Su Han sneezed.

"Who insulted me?" Su Han sniffed, racking her brains for people she had a grudge against.

After thinking it over, haven't all the people who had a grudge against me died?

Could it be Cheng Ruoyan? Or her father?

"Don't go too far. We need to keep going after we refuel the car," shouted one of the superhumans traveling with us.

"Just wandering around here, after sitting in the car for hours, my butt is about to split open." Someone cursed a few times and lit a cigarette.

Su Han stared at the dilapidated city in the distance, overwhelmed with emotion.

At this moment, the six of them in the car are stopped in the middle of a once bustling city's main road, refueling their vehicle.

The base's search teams have traversed this road many times, and the wrecked cars piled up in the middle of the road have been mostly cleared away, allowing for normal traffic flow.

Their purpose in going there was to search for supplies at an abandoned mental hospital.

In the apocalypse, medical supplies are difficult to regenerate, making them extremely precious. Consequently, mission rewards have also increased significantly.

Su Han has been waiting for this mission for a long time.

As soon as the mission hall appeared today, he couldn't wait to accept it.

The original text mentioned that a team from the Fuxing Base once accepted a commission to search for medicines in an abandoned hospital.

However, despite this seemingly simple task, none of the six people in the team survived.

Among these six people were a lightning-type ability user and a fire-type ability user with extremely strong combat abilities, and their supplies were sufficient for a round trip, so they should not have been wiped out.

So Cheng Yibin later sent another team. This team had a full twenty superhumans, and their combat power was even stronger, but in the end only five people returned, all badly injured. One of them died as soon as he entered the city gate because his injuries were too severe.

Cheng Yibin learned from those people that there was more than one intermediate-level zombie in the abandoned mental hospital. They discovered a huge space resembling a warehouse in the basement of the mental hospital, but before they could search it, they were attacked by zombies and nearly lost their lives.

That was a carefree time for Shen Chengyin at the Fuxing Base. There were no intermediate-level ability users in the entire base yet, and they were powerless to fight against intermediate-level zombies.

Cheng Yibin had no choice but to give up and temporarily abandon his plan to continue the search.

"Is there really something good in that mental hospital?" Su Han couldn't help but confirm with the system again in her mind.

"Of course, it's mentioned quite late in the original text. The mental hospital has a secret human laboratory underground, specifically researching how to turn people into human weapons," System 111 stated confidently.

If I remember correctly, there's a potion in there that can unleash astonishing physical strength within ten minutes, but the price is quite high.

"Are the human experiments here related to the zombie virus?" Su Han asked.

[It's completely unrelated. The zombie virus is a natural disaster; 80% of humanity was infected at the same time. No small laboratory could have accomplished that.]

The system spoke eloquently, and Su Han unconsciously became somewhat lost in thought.

He didn't come to his senses until someone called him, and then he got into the car with the man.

This mission is too risky. He wouldn't have taken the risk if the system hadn't insisted.

Fine, let's wait until we get there and take a look from a distance. If there's any real danger, he'll just run away.

If he can't beat him, he can't outrun him.

I cycled all the way out of the city and struggled along the rugged mountain roads.

After another six hours of driving, it was completely dark. The driver wanted to continue driving into the mountains, but Su Han stopped him.

"It's too dark. Let's rest here for the night and continue our journey when it gets light tomorrow."

The mobility of intermediate-level zombies is no joke; if they get too close, their necks might be snapped tonight.

"Just walk a little further ahead, and it would be great to set up camp right next to the hospital," someone countered.

"Yeah, my butt's about to crack from sitting so long. The thought of having to ride around again tomorrow is driving me crazy."

"I'm worried there might be zombies inside," Su Han said, expressing her concerns.

"What zombies? It's an abandoned mental hospital, where would there be so many zombies?"

"Yeah, and it's deep in the mountains. How many could there be?"

"Ah Han, not that I'm criticizing you, but are you chickening out?"

"Haha, come here, call me 'brother,' and I'll protect you, okay? Don't be afraid!"

A group of people were loudly joking and teasing each other.

Su Han didn't argue with anyone, tilted her head slightly, and simply admitted it.

"I'm definitely chickening out. You guys go ahead. I'm getting off."
