Chapter 1 The End

Qiancheng Xue took a deep breath, finally slamming her hands on the steering wheel in anger, a hint of barely suppressed rage surfacing on her indifferent face.

She had wasted so much energy and spent so much money developing the Red Coral Bay base, and at the most critical moment, something like this happened, and she ended up returning empty-handed.

Anyone would be furious. This failed development would have a huge impact on her.

After venting, Qiancheng Xue restarted the car and drove forward, soon arriving at a lakeside.

She got out of the car with a can of beer and walked towards the lake. The lakeside scenery at night was very beautiful. The calm lake shone under the moonlight, and a gentle breeze stirred Qiancheng Xue's loose silver hair.

Qiancheng Xue looked at the silent lake, opened the can of beer, took a sip, and quietly gazed at the scenery on the lake, a rare complex look appearing in her cold eyes.

Perhaps only at this moment could she ignore the gazes around her and relax completely.

Born into a large family, the burden and pressure she had carried since childhood were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

The hardships and tears along the way, she had to bear alone.

Sometimes, she even felt that living was so tiring!

Time passed little by little, and the night deepened.

After an unknown amount of time, Qiancheng Xue turned and left, returning to her car.

The car slowly drove away. Compared to before, she was not driving so fast. It could be seen that her heart was probably calmer. But no one knew her true inner thoughts.

Late at night, Qiancheng Xue drove the Silver Fox into a detached manor-style villa.

The huge villa was brightly lit, its exterior and interior decorations extremely luxurious, all decorated with the most extravagant natural stone.

"Good evening, Miss!"

Just as Qiancheng Xue approached the gate, a butler and a maid opened the door and greeted her respectfully.

She nodded slightly and went straight to the stairs of the duplex building, preparing to go upstairs.

At this time, several handsome men and beautiful women with extraordinary temperaments, wearing expensive pajamas, were sitting in the living room, holding coffee and smiling as they looked at Qiancheng Xue.

"Isn't this my dear sister? Why are you back so late today? You don't look so good. Could it be that you encountered setbacks in your development?"

Qiancheng Xue glanced at her sitting brothers and sisters, and without returning their words, went upstairs silently.

-----------------------------------------------

On the northern defense line of Dawn City, swarms of zombies poured into the first line of defense, immediately engulfing the remaining tank group.

"Retreat! Abandon the first and second lines of defense, and retreat to the third line of defense!"

Li Shi, who was in charge of the front line, roared hoarsely.

Immediately, the surviving players abandoned their trenches and ran wildly to the rear.

Some of the slower-running team members were immediately engulfed by swarms of zombies. Before they could even scream, they were torn to pieces.

At this time, Zhao Han, who was overseeing the rear, was looking at the battle situation in front with binoculars. She turned green when she saw that the monsters not only reached their faces but also destroyed two defense lines in a row.

She anxiously said, "He Bing, did you ask the other groups for help, as I told you to do?"

A plump girl standing next to Zhao Han replied uneasily, "Sister Zhao Han, we told them a long time ago, but they told us that they were having a hard time protecting themselves and really couldn't spare any extra manpower to help us."

Zhao Han's face darkened when she heard this. They usually had such a good relationship, but they didn't give her any face at the critical moment.

"Sister Zhao Han, what should we do now? We have a serious shortage of manpower and ammunition, and we can't hold on any longer."

He Bing asked, gritting her teeth.

In fact, under normal circumstances, their group's combat effectiveness would not be so poor.

But their luck was just too bad. First, Su Mo had tricked them before, and nearly five hundred elite team members were killed, which was like a major hemorrhage.

Not to mention that when the development team left, they took a lot of weapons and ammunition with them. Moreover, before Dawn City was attacked, Zhao Han also sent a large number of small teams to different areas to receive supplies.

Even the deputy team leader, Lin Zinuo, had been sent out, and now something had happened to them all.

She was really in a panic now.

Zhao Han's expression changed for a while, and finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Organize all the life players in our group. Except for the very important backbones, pull the rest over."

"Ah? Sister Zhao Han, that's not appropriate, is it? They are life players."

"So what if they are life players? Pick up a weapon, and they are warriors."

"But, we don't have that many weapons to give them!"

"Then use sticks to fight, we have to hold on."

"This...."

"We can't take care of so much now. You have to be clear about one thing. There are a total of six groups staying behind, guarding different areas. Now the other five groups are still holding on, but our defense line has collapsed, allowing monsters to rush into Dawn City. Then we will really become sinners, and the entire group may be severely punished."

Zhao Han really had no choice.

"Understood, I'll do it right away."

He Bing replied quickly.

--------------------

On the other side, on the Helan.

Su Mo and others gathered together and were holding a small celebration party.

Although this celebration party was relatively shabby, without wine or any good food, just some military canned food and other ingredients.

However, it did not affect Su Mo's mood at all.

Zhou Qian took the lead in singing, and the other girls clapped their hands and sang along.

"Your eyes are so bright, my heart..."

Although Su Mo did not participate personally, he listened to it from the side and thought it was very good.

"Su Mo, won't you sing with us?"

Sun Hong, who was sitting next to him, asked curiously.

"Cough cough, I can't."

Su Mo was slightly taken aback and shook his head in reply.

"Then can you dance?"

"I can't either."

"It doesn't matter if you can't, let's play together, I can teach you!"

Sun Hong volunteered.

"Sun Hong, that's too much, how can you eat alone? If you're going to teach, I'll do it!"

Zhou Qian said with a smile.

"We also want to dance with Su Mo..."

"Don't steal him from us, you have a boyfriend."

"It's okay, I can consider him temporarily dead."

"Oh, you're so mean..."

.....

The entire deck was filled with Zhou Qian and the others' laughter, but Su Mo's expression became even more awkward.

"That's enough, joking is joking, don't bully Su Mo."

At this time, Lin Zinuo walked over.

"Sister Zinuo, we didn't bully him, aren't we just playing with him? And we are helping him. Look at how bored he is, and he's not good at socializing. He's so handsome and honest, he's easy to suffer losses. As his companions, we have to teach him well."

Xiao Lu stuck out her tongue playfully.

"Go, go, don't teach him bad things."

Lin Zinuo said with a smile.
