Apocalypse: The White Moonlight Became a Possessive Mad Dog

Shen Chengyin's fingertips trembled, and the rabbit meat skewered on the bamboo pole fell into the fire, instantly turning the tender meat into a charred black.

The fire suddenly surged upwards due to the addition of new fuel, and the flickering flames reflected on the man's face.

Shen Chengyin didn't speak, and Su Han, feeling a little awkward, added, "Because in the novel, you have quite a few enemies at Dawn Base. I thought you went there this time for revenge."

Shen Chengyin's expression was momentarily dazed.

So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?

He readily admitted it; since Su Han had run away, he would just bring her back.

Only what you hold in your hand will not slip away, and only what is laid bare before you will not betray you.

He only believes in himself.

The man slowly opened his mouth, but hesitated before speaking.

"Yes……"

"It was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. If you don't want to go, then you don't have to."

Shen Chengyin only realized what he had said after he finished speaking, and was the first to freeze in shock.

No... that's not what he meant at all.

He wanted to say that he had a second life.

He had a terrible past life; he was a dog who could never gain anyone's pity no matter what he did.

Even though he had climbed to godhood, in the eyes of his former friends he was still unworthy of his position, a stray dog ​​who couldn't even control his own life.

He was a puppet, a traitor; his sincerity was trampled upon, and his efforts were never reciprocated.

But now it seems like... as long as Su Han doesn't leave, it doesn't matter whether those deep-seated hatreds are avenged or not.

No, that's not what he meant.

this is not.

His second life was for revenge, to crush all those who betrayed him in their infancy, and to make them experience the same agony of being unable to live or die.

It's not about feeling trust and love; those are... things that don't exist.

The man's heart pounded violently. It wasn't until a pair of cold, white hands gripped his wrists that his violent trembling was forcibly calmed down.

"That's not what I meant. Going to Dawn Base is fine. You can do whatever you want."

Su Han pursed her lips, seemingly making up her mind, "Whether you are reborn or not, I will stand by your side."

He was reborn, so he helped the male protagonist take revenge by killing the people who betrayed him in his previous life.

Now that everyone's been killed and all revenge has been taken, the protagonist should have no reason to destroy the world, right?

At least this way, there's still hope for the mission, which is better than dying alone in this world with the system as my only companion.

Shen Chengyin's eyes were red-rimmed as he stared intently at Su Han, his pupils trembling slightly.

The firelight reflected in those black eyes, flickering on and off, finally settling into a long-burning flame when the wind died down.

The man's heart had never been so calm as it was at this moment.

Screw revenge.

He heard himself say it.

Su Han didn't understand what Shen Chengyin wanted to do. He had a feeling that the man should have something to say, so he kept tilting his head and waiting.

The man slowly raised his hand, his calloused thumb stroking Su Han's earlobe, along with the scar behind her ear.

This is the mark he left himself.

It was he who left it behind.

Su Han felt tickled and subconsciously shrugged her shoulders. This action, however, seemed like she was deliberately bringing her face close to the man's palm.

"I want to—" Shen Chengyin only managed to utter half a syllable before being interrupted by the sound of something flying through the air.

A chilling coldness came from behind her. Su Han immediately turned around and saw a sharp arrow hovering in mid-air behind her, its tip pointing directly at her heart.

If he were to stab me, given how relaxed he was just now, he would definitely be pierced through.

The arrow paused only briefly in the air before being stored in Shen Chengyin's spatial storage.

The man stood up expressionlessly, staring straight at a spot in the darkness in the distance, a heavy, oppressive atmosphere surrounding him.

Su Han immediately became alert. That person must be quite far away, otherwise Shen Chengyin would have spotted them long ago.

Just as he was about to move, Shen Chengyin pressed his shoulder, signaling him to wait where he was. Then, the man shot out like an arrow.

A dozen minutes later, Shen Chengyin returned, reeking of blood, carrying a man's head in his hand.

It was hard to tell his age from his head; his face was covered in stubble. Even as he died, his eyes were wide open, as if he'd seen a ghost.

The man tossed the head away, and it rolled to the side of the campfire, its face scorched and blistered by the flames, making a sizzling sound.

Shen Chengyin stomped on the skull, crushing it and sending blood and debris splattering all over the ground.

Su Han had anticipated this, so she deliberately moved a little further away to avoid getting splashed.

This person is likely a survivor scattered across various regions after the apocalypse. He has no superpowers, and even the crossbow in his hand is simply homemade.

These people can't compete with those with superpowers for supplies, are poorly informed, and are unaware of the base's existence. It's understandable that they might try to take advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack and steal supplies.

"Let's go, it's not safe here," Shen Chengyin said.

Su Han nodded, and the two quickly extinguished the campfire, packed their things, and left.

They pitched a tent on a slightly higher spot nearby, rested briefly for the night, and set off the next morning.

Seeing that Shen Chengyin was not in good condition, Su Han did not let the man keep watch at night.

Shen Chengyin initially insisted, but when Su Han suggested they could hug each other for warmth, the man fell silent.

In the middle of the night, the sound of leaves rustling and breaking could be heard outside the tent. Su Han immediately became alert.

Whether the noise comes from an animal or a person, it's not a good omen.

He tried to peek out of the tent, but Shen Chengyin clung tightly to his clothes. The man's brows were furrowed, and his forehead was covered in sweat, as if he were trapped in a nightmare.

Su Han had no time to think about anything else. She raised her hand, used a knife to cut off a large piece of cloth, and swiftly stepped out of the tent.

As soon as I went outside, I saw a figure flash by in the moonlight.

He suspected it was a diversionary tactic, so he carefully checked the traces around the tent and only chased after the person in the direction they had fled, once he was sure there was only one person there.
