The ability users present were all stunned by the scene before them.
A shadow of death loomed over Xiao Wei, as she watched Xiao Ye withdraw his hand.
Xiao Ye calmly wiped his bloody hand clean.
Xiao Wei had never imagined she would die in such a manner.
When Chu Fei saw Xiao Wei's body fall, she froze on the spot.
Her lips trembled, "Xiao Wei... Xiao Ye..."
Xiao Ye's grayish-white pupils showed no trace of humanity.
Yet, he seriously gazed at Chu Fei for a moment.
He could still recall the memories of their time together six months prior.
Chu Fei's eyes widened as she cradled Xiao Wei's body.
Her gaze was somewhat vacant, "Why is it like this again? Xiao Ye, you even want to take my friend away."
"Hmph..."
Xiao Ye wanted to say something, but unfortunately, he had lost the ability to speak like a human.
Chu Fei's face was filled with grief, her gaze fixed on Xiao Ye.
The man who had stolen her dearest friend!
Xiao Ye's face still bore a human appearance, but he had long since stood on the opposing side of the ability users.
"Why don't you just kill me then!"
Chu Fei released Xiao Wei and stood up, filled with hatred.
The five abilities she possessed were all condensed, about to be unleashed.
As Chu Fei launched her attack towards Xiao Ye, she carried a desperate resolve.
"Otherwise, I will surely kill you!"
Boom!
Xiao Ye watched Chu Fei unleash her abilities, his grayish-white eyes flickering slightly.
With a hint of complex emotion, Xiao Ye moved to nullify Chu Fei's abilities.
Chu Fei's abilities, which could kill high-level zombies, felt like fists hitting cotton against Xiao Ye.
"Why am I still not strong enough, I'm still not strong enough..."
Unable to harm Xiao Ye, Chu Fei was consumed by extreme hatred.
If only she were a little stronger, she could have taken Xiao Ye's life.
However.
Xiao Ye did not comfort the self-doubting Chu Fei; his gaze was cold.
As a zombie, he could not feel human emotions.
Seeing Chu Fei in danger earlier was merely an instinct to protect her.
Xiao Ye issued a command to the zombies, and the suit zombies surged towards the ability users.
"Roar!"
The ability users panicked, "Captain Chu Fei, please save us, help... Ah!"
The suit zombies captured this group of ability users in one fell swoop.
Chu Fei stood powerlessly in place, watching Xiao Ye take her companions away.
Xiao Ye saw the sorrow filling her eyes.
Her abilities were exhausted, Chu Fei's hatred was fierce and painful!
"Xiao Ye, I will not rest until you are dead!"
As if not hearing Chu Fei's words, Xiao Ye led the zombies away majestically.
...
Xiao Ye killing Xiao Wei saved Chu Fei's life.
The masses on Blue Star quieted down.
They dared not comment, instead turning their attention to Chu Fei's reaction.
The more Chu Fei watched, the more ridiculous she found it.
Although she had already anticipated such a scene, she hadn't expected her own reaction to be so extreme.
"If it wasn't for Xiao Ye, Xiao Wei would have turned me into a zombie..."
Chu Fei, who had always treated those who harmed her as sisters, desperately wanted to scold herself!
She could no longer distinguish whether she had ever done anything right.
"I thought I was a powerhouse, but I can't even tell right from wrong."
Chu Fei clutched her long hair, saying woodenly, "Fortunately, I died early in the apocalypse, so I didn't do anything else to harm you."
Everything was fake!
Everything she believed was fake!
Chu Fei had even stooped to comforting herself with the thought of dying early.
How guilty she felt.
"I've always been a burden, Xiao Ye, what right do I have to treat you like this?"
Chu Fei's gaze turned to the man on the judgment platform, and she closed her eyes in anguish.
If only she could turn back time...
She would have said to Xiao Ye, as she did during the apocalypse,
"Xiao Ye, don't be afraid, your big sister has your back."
But not only did she fail to do so, she pushed Xiao Ye into the abyss.
Being an perpetrator on Blue Star as well, she had caused Xiao Ye to extract desperate memories, leading him to the brink of death.
"In the end, I broke my promise."
She regretted not keeping her word, not choosing Xiao Ye firmly.
"The selfish person in the apocalypse wasn't you, it was me... all me... one wrong step, and every step was wrong."
Chu Fei's heart ached, unsure of what she could do to make amends.
The memories of reincarnation, she dared not look further.
Yet, she also wanted to see Xiao Ye's ending. Whether the apocalypse had ended or not, he, being so powerful, would surely survive, right?
Mu Qinglan came to Chu Fei's side, comforting her with a grand and powerful demeanor, "Why be sad over him? Didn't Xiao Ye attack the entire ability base after becoming a zombie?"
These were words Chu Fei herself had spoken before.
Since Xiao Ye was still going to be a villain, wouldn't it be hypocritical to be sad for him now?
"Even if Xiao Ye ended the apocalypse..."
Chu Fei's eyes were dim and lifeless, and she said with a bitter smile, "It's still my fault towards him first."
Mu Qinglan's eyelids twitched.
Had they all gone crazy for Xiao Ye?
The good female war god had lost all dignity beneath the judgment platform.
Mu Qinglan looked coldly at the judgment platform, realizing she had to kill Xiao Ye sooner.
To quell the current uncontrollable situation!
To maintain the image of the female war gods!
The system watched as Chu Fei's whitewashing value reached 85%. It murmured dejectedly in Xiao Ye's ear, "Host, when will you wake up? You're almost done with your mission and can come out. You're not even willing to open your eyes to chat with me?"
Xiao Ye showed no reaction to the system's murmurs.
He had finished editing Chu Fei's memories!
Xiao Ye blocked out all external sounds.
Just as the system was contemplating singing a song in Xiao Ye's ear to harass the host, some exclamations were heard from below.
"Old Feng, look, how is the sky becoming increasingly abnormal?"
The people of Blue Star noticed that the sky had become overcast, with streaks of lightning.
Huge black smoke swirled, terrifying.
It looked like something ominous was about to happen.
Old Feng and the others wore solemn expressions and hadn't had time to speak.
Hao Duoyu quickly exclaimed in alarm, "It must be an anomaly caused by the infected! Be careful they don't collectively try to rescue Xiao Ye!"
The sky, which had been normal, was now swirling with an evil aura.
Ye Qingrou and the others also suspected the infected!
"No one can take Xiao Ye away, unless they step over my corpse."
A soft voice rang out. The speaker was Gu Xiaosu.
Her pale and delicate face occasionally covered her mouth to cough, presenting the image of a sickly beauty.
Gu Xiaosu was the youngest among the war gods. She had also suffered severe injuries when fighting monsters back then.
Even after being nourished by reincarnation, she remained frail.
Mu Qinglan said calmly, "Xiaosu, you've been here for quite some time. You should go back and rest well."
"No, I want to protect everything on Blue Star."
Gu Xiaosu coughed out tears, her pure eyes fixed on the judgment platform.
"I want to personally wait for Xiao Ye to die before I can feel at ease."
The system watched as the black smoke intensified. It suddenly noticed the man wearing a helmet open his eyes.
Xiao Ye's gaze looked up at the condensed black smoke in the sky, radiating an evil power.
The system was overjoyed, "Host... you're awake?"
"Not awake."
Xiao Ye didn't want to listen to the system's nagging; he closed his eyelids again.
"I'll see you in ten years."
System, "???"
After its shock, it felt a little guilty.
Was the host intentionally retaliating?
...
The scene shifted.
In half a month, the number of mid-tier and above zombies decreased by twenty percent.
The suit zombies traced it back to the A City base.
Their highest authority had captured the zombie horde for unknown reasons.
However, this was not Xiao Ye's immediate concern. He arrived at the research area of the physicians.
"Zombie King, we have successfully developed and extracted the primary serum..."
An old physician held up the reagent with fanaticism, stating excitedly, "This serum was developed from the antibodies of a thousand ability users and can eliminate the zombie virus. However, no one has used it for testing yet."
"Because the zombies being tested would surely suffer immense pain, and most of them would die."
"Theoretically, if they endure it, this serum can revert zombies back into humans, and then we can produce a large quantity of serum from the humans that were once zombies."
If the test was successful, zombies could be turned back into humans.
The apocalypse could be saved!
The test subjects could not be ordinary zombies, as their intelligence was undeveloped and they might commit suicide from the pain.
Even if they transformed into humans, ordinary zombies would likely not survive.
The suit zombies also dared not try the serum, as it might cost them their lives.
This small serum suddenly became a troublesome item.
Xiao Ye knew that there was no one more perfect a test subject than him.
If the Zombie King could be turned back into a human, how could the apocalypse not end?
"Hmph..."
Xiao Ye gazed at the small vial of serum and unhesitatingly snatched it and drank it down.
The entire vial was emptied!
The physicians' eyes widened in shock, exclaiming, "Zombie King, you... you are personally verifying this experiment?"
