The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

Ji Chen is busy taking control of D City and building a post-apocalyptic shelter.

Ye Xiao hasn't been idle these past two days either.

After renting a car and storing all his supplies in a similarly rented warehouse, he began his journey to find teammates.

Ye Xiao had spent two years surviving the apocalypse and had made one or two reliable friends in D City.

In the apocalypse, besides the most important supplies...

Reliable teammates and a strong team are equally indispensable.

At the very least, it can serve as his military support before his superpowers awaken, reducing the risk of him being robbed by other survivors.

"Senior, you rest here for a bit. I have something to take care of."

Liu Yan's eyes were obscure, with a hint of something unusual that was hard to detect. After responding, she quietly watched Ye Xiao leave.

She remembered that phone call from before.

"Liu Yan, I need your help."

"Junhui? Weren't you wanted by the authorities? What happened...?"

. . . . . .

In short, after being persuaded by a series of evidence, she once again took the initiative to gravitate towards Ji Chen, willingly acting as Ji Chen's eyes and ears and pawn.

So, after seeing Ye Xiao leave, she decisively revealed Ye Xiao's whereabouts, and then drove to Ji Chen's location, intending to tell him about his recent situation in person and deepen their understanding of each other.

As soon as Ye Xiao stepped out the door, he suddenly felt a sense of panic, as if something extremely unfavorable to him was about to happen.

He forced himself to take a few steps in the intended direction, but then he broke out in a cold sweat and panic gripped him.

"What's going on? Is it not the right time yet? Is Brother Chen going to harm me?"

Chen Ci was a retired soldier whom Ye Xiao knew in his previous life. He was highly skilled and loyal, making him a target that Ye Xiao had to win over.

But with this incident, he naturally started to back down.

At the same time, he looked around and noticed that the atmosphere in the city was a bit strange.

Unlike in his previous life when everyone stayed indoors with their doors closed and wearing masks, the citizens of D City were now sparsely populated on the streets. Although everyone looked unwell and lacked energy, the city was still bustling with a different kind of liveliness than in his previous life.

Moreover, there were now guards in front of the grain shops he had marked in the city, guards that he had never seen in his previous life.

"Something's not right, something's not right."

Ye Xiao felt increasingly uneasy, so he put on his hat and started walking back.

As Ye Xiao passed by a park, he saw uniformed security guards setting up a cordon and using flamethrowers to clear out stray cats and dogs.

This is a scene that never existed in my previous life.

He remembered clearly that at this time in his previous life, the D City Public Security Bureau had inexplicably become paralyzed and could only take care of the situation around the garrison, while the public security bureaus in other areas no longer cared about them.

"Senior, something's wrong, we..."

Ye Xiao was suddenly stunned; his senior, Liu Yan, had vanished.

He searched frantically, only to find that Liu Yan had left behind nothing but a note; she hadn't left any of her personal belongings.

Ye Xiao dejectedly opened the note, and the contents made his pupils shrink to pinpoints.

"I'm sorry, Ye Xiao, you're a good person..."

The first sentence alone made Ye Xiao's vision go black.

Then what followed pierced his heart like needles.

"After careful consideration, I realized that although we've known each other for a long time, I still see you as a younger brother. Seeing your mature older sister makes me feel quite gratified. Your senior, Junhui, has contacted me; he really needs my help right now. I'm sorry, but please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye."

"Chu-Jun-Hui!"

Ye Xiao suddenly tore the note to shreds, feeling like a complete clown.

After venting for a while, the sense of crisis returned.

Ye Xiao didn't have time to complain about Liu Yan or curse Chu Junhui. He quickly packed his bags, closed the warehouse door, and turned to flee in the direction that would put his mind at ease.

After half an hour.

A team of fully armed security guards arrived at the location, but found nothing except for searching a warehouse full of supplies.

Although Ji Chen showed that he valued Ye Xiao and sent a team of armed personnel to capture him, he still did not expect that Ye Xiao's vigilance had reached the level of precognition.

. . . . . .

Ji Chen hung up the phone with a cold face.

He had received information that the operation to capture Ye Xiao had failed, and that subsequent tracking had also failed for various reasons.

"This Ye Xiao has some luck on him."

Even so, Ji Chen did not waste any time and went to make the arrest himself.

He's just a guy with personality flaws and whose daily behavior is basically unremarkable; he's not worth his time.

Unless this guy is the chosen one, or awakens a system on the spot, Ji Chen really doesn't know what kind of trouble he can cause.

ding dong~

ding dong~

The announcement outside the door had barely finished when the crisp sound of high heels approached from afar, the footsteps clicking slowly and deliberately.

The crisp, rhythmic sound of the shoes evokes an image of elegance and confidence in their owner.

Ji Chen did not turn around.

He patted his leg, and Liu Yan, who was posing and preparing to show off her charm in front of Ji Chen, could only snort slightly in dissatisfaction, and then obediently sat in Ji Chen's lap.

"Junhui~"

Liu Yan called out sweetly, leaning against Ji Chen's chest and hooking her arms around his neck.

This was the first time Ji Chen had seriously looked at Liu Yan.

After all, the last scene was all pixelated, which could easily cause psychological discomfort, and I wasn't in the right state of mind at the time.

Liu Yan has an oval face with exquisite features. She wears a black dress with long, wavy hair, and her looks and temperament are quite striking.

As for her figure, a quick glance from Ji Chen's perspective reveals her undeniably voluptuous figure, milky white and tender.

The host seemed to notice the guests' gaze and deliberately lifted the fruit plate upwards, as if trying to entice the guests to taste it.

Ji Chen laughed, lifted her thigh, and with a couple of tumbles, she changed her position and sat back on Ji Chen's lap.

"Ah~"

Liu Yan let out a soft cry and fell into Ji Chen's arms, her face slightly flushed and her breath sweet as orchids.

Unfortunately, Ji Chen ignored the somewhat romantic atmosphere, simply holding the voluptuous Liu Yan on his lap, and then asked:

"You said he taught you some strange things, could you tell me in detail?"

"Why are you bringing him up, Junhui? I am..."

"Um?"

Ji Chen raised his voice slightly, and Liu Yan's heart skipped a beat. She dared not play any more tricks and confessed the truth:

"Ye Xiao said it was a secret martial art, I don't know its origin, but I've been practicing it for the past two days and it's definitely been somewhat effective..."

Ji Chen listened quietly, not particularly surprised that Ye Xiao was able to obtain the secret weapon.

After all, the fact that Ye Xiao forced his way into his room last time and that he managed to evade the police this time proved that Ye Xiao was no ordinary person, and the existence of the secret martial arts team only proved this point.

"He also said that he dreamed of the end of humanity, and that the events that have happened in the past few days are basically the same as what he said, including the virus infection that caused nearly half of the deaths in D City, and wild beasts going wild and injuring people everywhere... ...I even have a feeling that the secret weapon he took out is related to his dream."

I dreamt of the end of humanity and also predicted recent major events.

Ji Chen was startled. His years of experience with online novels in his previous life led him to a rather unreliable guess.

Could this Ye Xiao really be destined to be a protagonist?

Her surname is Ye, and she was dumped by the goddess who had been dating a rich second-generation heir...

hiss!

This is terrible; this child must not be allowed to live.

Ji Chen looked at Liu Yan's face, which was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

While protagonists who are overly devoted to their lover are indeed rare, it's a common trope in post-apocalyptic novels where the protagonist starts out being a devoted follower only to be hurt and then rebuild their life.
