Apocalypse: The White Moonlight Became a Possessive Mad Dog

The two separated as quickly as possible, coughing desperately to spit out the ash from their mouths.

Wei Zhenmeng coughed for a while before finally remembering to ask Sun Liang, "How come you're not dead?"

Sun Liang rolled his eyes. "Look at what you're saying. You're alive and well too."

The two looked at each other, then suddenly realized what was happening and quickly began to grope their own bodies.

My arms are still there, my legs are still there, and my head isn't missing a single piece... At most, I have some scratches and bruises on my body.

"How is that possible? Aren't we at the epicenter of the explosion?" Wei Zhenmeng murmured.

The situation was critical; she and Sun Liang were already trapped. Logically, they should be nothing but ashes by now—this doesn't make sense!

...Forget it, this is the apocalypse, what does it matter if it's scientific or not? Just being alive is enough.

Wei Zhenmeng quickly came to her senses and stopped worrying about it.

Sun Liang helped Wei Zhenmeng to her feet. Looking around, the area within several miles of them was a scene of utter ruins. The smell of burnt flesh was nauseating.

The missile razed a quarter of the revival base to the ground. Most of the high-level zombies were also blown to pieces, leaving only a pile of glittering crystal cores.

The explosions continued, seemingly originating outside the city. Fearing another missile might hit them if they didn't leave soon, the two rushed towards the city gate, one after the other.

They encountered several high-level zombies along the way. Sun Liang dared not linger in the fight. He desperately used his fire-based abilities to block the zombies' movements while fleeing with Wei Zhenmeng.

During this time, his superpower also reached the intermediate level. Although he was not as good as Li Tiangan, he could still barely hold off Li Tiangan and was good enough to escape.

The two finally arrived at the city gate of the revival base, and were filled with despair when they saw the mountain of corpses piled up.

Just then, someone called their names. Sun Liang looked up and saw Su Han waving to them from the city wall.

Without hesitation, he immediately led Wei Zhenmeng toward the city wall.

Li Tiangan shook his head, finally regaining some of his hearing. He asked Su Han beside him, "Who were you greeting?"

"Sun Liang."

"Where did Sun Liang come from? Isn't that a black man?" Li Tiangan didn't believe it and looked down again.

"It's probably... burnt black?" Su Han hesitated, a rare occurrence.

Sun Liang couldn't really make out any human form, but who else could Wei Zhenmeng be with?

"By the way, what did you say when the explosion happened? I didn't hear a word you said."

Su Han deliberately adopted a profound and inscrutable demeanor, and slowly said, "I said, everyone will survive."

Li Tiangan sighed, assuming that Su Han was making a wish.

With such a weapon of mass destruction being used, how could it not result in several deaths?

Putting everything else aside, those two people who just detonated the armory were people Ahan knew, right? They're definitely dead beyond any doubt.

Explosions rang out one after another, mingling with the howls of zombies. The one-sided massacre outside the city gates continued.

From the moment the first missile landed, Jiang Yurou seemed to have some hidden switch flipped, frantically harvesting zombies outside the city.

Under her command, the armored vehicle convoy she led neatly split into three groups, advancing steadily in a fan shape into the Fuxing base.

Explosions and gunshots rang out continuously. After Shen Chengyin and Sun Liang reunited, they also climbed down the city wall and began to gradually clear out the surrounding zombies.

The pile of corpses could only be burned, and the fire would likely burn for several days and nights before it stopped.

Advanced zombies still posed a significant threat to Li Tianqian and his group, so they did not scatter. Sun Liang protected Wei Zhenmeng, who lacked superpowers, while the other three led the charge, advancing steadily and cautiously.

"Stay behind me, don't rush in."

Li Tiangan knew that Su Han's ability was not offensive, and no matter how skilled she was, she wouldn't last a single blow against a high-level zombie. So he protected Su Han behind him the whole way.

Unexpectedly, after Su Han said that she thought she could fight, she rushed up and chopped several high-level zombies into mincemeat.

Li Tiangan:………

Something's not right, is it? This is definitely not right!

Amidst the roar of artillery fire, a strange tremor suddenly broke the silence. Su Han and Shen Chengyin looked up simultaneously and saw several helicopters taking off one after another from the rooftops of a few tall buildings in the distance of the Fuxing Base, hastily fleeing the battlefield.

"Is it a high-ranking official from the Fuxing Base?" Su Han asked.

Sun Liang scoffed, "A bunch of beasts, they're the first to run away at a time like this."

Helicopters are extremely fuel-guzzling, and the base used to be reluctant to use them for dangerous missions. It's unbelievable that these bastards would each have one, using them to escape in emergencies.

The entire operation took three days, during which Su Han and her group found many survivors in the city.

Even some ordinary survivors without superpowers miraculously survived, huddled in the cracks between buildings, trembling with fear.

One of the older survivors, upon seeing Li Tiangan behind Su Han, trembled, took two steps forward, and knelt directly in front of Li Tiangan.

"You've saved us time and time again, how can we ever repay you?!"

He was a survivor from Hope Base. If Li Tiangan hadn't told the ordinary people to hide in the warehouse, they would have died long ago.

Now it's Li Tiangan leading his men to rescue them again.

Li Tiangan waved his hand and pointed at Shen Chengyin, "Don't look for me, this is your leader. I can't survive without him."

The man immediately turned around and banged his head twice in the direction of Shen Chengyin.

"Chief Shen, we who came from Hope Base all remember your kindness. We ordinary people without superpowers can probably never repay your immense kindness in our entire lives!"

Su Han smiled slightly. He turned his head to see Shen Chengyin's reaction, and his eyes met the man's.

The man showed no awareness of being caught, continuing to stare intently at Su Han's profile, completely ignoring what the person kneeling and kowtowing was saying.

At least give us a response.

Su Han blinked.

Shen Chengyin blinked, his eyes clearly saying: I don't understand.

Su Han was helpless; his eye contact was completely ineffective. He stepped forward, helped the man up, and offered a few words of comfort, "You don't need to repay him. Just remember his kindness."

He was happy to give these people a way out as long as they wouldn't harm the male protagonist.

The survivors gathered together, and the surviving superhumans spontaneously formed a protection team. It took Jiang Yurou's convoy half a day to blast its way to the gate, and by the time she finally stood in front of Su Han, a full day and night had passed.

Conservative estimates suggest that more than half of the people at the revival base perished in the accident. The base, which originally had a population of 100,000, was drastically reduced, with less than 40% surviving.

Jiang Yurou was covered in sweat. She shook her head, pointed at Shen Chengyin's nose, and arrogantly said, "You've almost emptied my military factory this time. Tell me, how are you going to repay me?"

There were others around; the survivors, Sun Liang, Li Tianqian, and others were not far away. Jiang Yurou's voice was not quiet, making people wonder about the woman's background.

"The revival base is yours," Shen Chengyin said calmly.

Su Han, who was drinking water next to him, suddenly spat it out. Li Tiangan twitched his lips, feeling like he hadn't woken up properly.

Just kidding... This is an entire base. Even if Cheng Yibin is dead, there are countless connections above him. The relationships among the higher-ups of the Fuxing Base are intricate and complex. It's not something Shen Chengyin can just give away.

Everyone thought Shen Chengyin was joking, but Jiang Yurou took it seriously.

Her eyes lit up instantly, staring intently at Shen Chengyin. "Are you serious? Seriously? You can't take it back, okay?"

Shen Chengyin hummed in agreement, and Jiang Yurou's smile stretched almost to the back of her ears.

This is big territory!

She wiped her drool with her hand, and when she looked around again, she felt a sense of satisfaction looking at what she owned.

Now we'll have to work even harder to clear out the zombies. After all, it's our own territory, and it would be so embarrassing if even one or two escaped and hurt our people.

Those superhumans who came with Jiang Yurou from the military factory felt a chill run down their spines when they saw the look in their sister Rou Rou's eyes.

What heinous thing has this ancestor done now...?

*

It took several people, along with the survivors from the revival base and the ability users who were willing to stay, nearly a week to clean up the corpses in the city.

Advanced zombies possess rudimentary intelligence. When the situation becomes overwhelmingly one-sided, some advanced zombies choose to revert to humanoid form and hide among the survivors.

However, they generally won't attack unless someone is alone. Jiang Yurou directed everyone to gather together, preparing to clear out the zombies on the outskirts and the corpses inside the city before dealing with these high-level zombies.

She had just finished doing all this and had the city gates closed again when she received news that the high-ranking officials who had fled in panic when the Fuxing Base fell had returned.

They not only returned, but they also returned with the team that was originally sent by the Fuxing Base to the Shuguang Base to establish diplomatic relations.

The group, led by the bespectacled man, stormed through the city gates, and the sight before them nearly scared them to death.

What's going on? They went to another base, and when they came back, their home was robbed?

Before he could process what he was seeing, Jiang Yurou delivered a devastating blow.

What's going on with this well-equipped, heavily armed force?

The high-ranking officers at the Revival Base are usually impeccably dressed in suits and surrounded by bodyguards. This time, however, half of their team consisted of intermediate-level ability users, a formidable force that gave the bespectacled man considerable confidence…

...His confidence vanished completely when he saw Jiang Yurou's armored forces.

So far, even the strongest superhuman can't withstand that shot.

They could only admit defeat in front of Jiang Yurou.

It was only when he saw this group of politicians that Shen Chengyin remembered Cheng Yibin, whom he had casually imprisoned with his wood-type supernatural ability during the zombie outbreak.

After being left there for a long time, the rattan cage that imprisoned Cheng Yibin had dried out, and the hard wooden layers had become even more solid. Cheng Yibin could not escape. He spent seven whole days inside, ignored by everyone, dizzy from hunger, and barely survived by drinking his own urine.

Without a second thought, Shen Chengyin pulled Cheng Yibin out of the cage and threw him in front of the bespectacled man.

The moment the bespectacled man saw Cheng Yibin, he couldn't contain his anger any longer. He grabbed Cheng Yibin's collar and demanded, "Cheng Yibin, tell me, why are the thousands of kilograms of grain that Fuxing Base lost found in the granary of Shuguang Base, huh??"

Cheng Yibin looked up blankly, not knowing what the bespectacled man was asking.

These words caused an uproar among the top management of the entire Fuxing Base.

"What?!"

"Misappropriating strategic reserves from the base to aid the enemy? That's an act of treason!"

"Cheng Yibin, you've really gone too far!"

"I suspected there was something wrong with the supply accounts! So you're using the lives of the entire city to satisfy your ambition!"

Even before the base's high command was blocked at the city gate, the remaining survivors of the Revival Base surrounded them, including many superhumans who had almost lost their lives in the zombie horde.

Upon hearing the bespectacled man's words, these people almost killed Cheng Yibin.

"What the hell?! What is this?! Is this how you act as a leader?!"

"Transport our base's food supplies to the grain depot at the opposite base? Is that something a human being could do?"

"He also concealed the fact that Cheng Ruoyan was infected, causing the entire base to perish because of her!"

Cheng Yibin was both hungry and thirsty, and his speech was intermittent:

"I don't know what kind of food it was... Shen Chengyin took it; he's a space-age ability user..."

Shen Chengyin? A space-age ability user?

The bespectacled man immediately turned around and stared intently at Shen Chengyin.

Prior to this, there had been many speculations about the base, but without evidence, they could not be confirmed.

The bespectacled man hadn't understood why Cheng Yibin was always targeting Shen Chengyin, a life-powered individual. But now, he almost instantly understood what Cheng Yibin wanted.

Cheng Yibin wants Shen Chengyin's spatial ability.

The method for transferring supernatural abilities researched by the research institute requires the participation of individuals with life-related supernatural abilities, and Shen Chengyin happens to fit the bill.

That's why Cheng Yibin killed Cheng Gaolang and targeted Shen Chengyin, all in order to truly grasp the spatial ability in his own hands.

That's absolute power, and you'll never be betrayed.

...That makes sense.

Jiang Yurou stepped forward, blocking Shen Chengyin's path, and coldly looked at the bespectacled man: "What, you have a problem with him?"

The bespectacled man was taken aback by the armed forces behind her. His Adam's apple bobbed as he forcibly suppressed the greed in his eyes and turned his fire back on Cheng Yibin.

Since they couldn't touch Shen Chengyin, they needed a scapegoat of sufficient weight to quell public anger and shift the focus.

"Cheng Yibin," the bespectacled man straightened his back, his voice rising, carrying a tone of heartbroken officialdom, "Look at this ruin! Look at these dead compatriots! Where does the root of today's disaster at the Fuxing Base lie?"

He surveyed the survivors who were gradually gathering around him, his tone becoming heavy and inflammatory:

"You not only failed to fulfill your duties, but also abused your power to embezzle base resources and colluded with internal and external forces; to satisfy your own greed, you disregarded human ethics and concealed the truth. Furthermore, you made poor decisions and failed to respond effectively during the crisis, ultimately leading to this tragedy!"

With each word he spoke, the other high-ranking officials behind him either shook their heads and sighed, or echoed his indignation.

"You must take full responsibility for your serious negligence and wrongdoing!"

Cheng Yibin collapsed to the ground, his lips moving, but he could no longer utter a coherent rebuttal.

He's a politician; in the past, he could have easily verbally berated the bespectacled man.

But now, his throat is so dry he can't utter a single word.

This group spoke with conviction, appearing righteous and self-righteous. But Jiang Yurou had no time to play along with their act.

Shen Chengyin said that since the base was given to her, it was hers.

These people can die after they finish saying their last words.
