Mo You had a brief moment of clarity. With a look of “everyone is drunk but me alone” on his face, he mocked:
“We’re all going to die sooner or later, so what’s the point of fighting over it? The base, humanity—all of it will cease to exist. Hahahaha—”
Wu Cheng’s face went cold.
“Madman, I can’t be bogged down with you.”
“Since you can make prophecies, why don’t you tell me: when exactly will this apocalypse end?”
Mo You’s eyes went blank again, and he fell into a daze as if he hadn’t heard a word.
Deng Qing muttered curses.
“Brother Wu, why do you insist on keeping this brain-dead madman? He can’t help with anything at all.”
Wu Cheng shook his head.
“He can still be useful occasionally. Let’s keep him for now. Besides, it’s not like we have to feed him.”
Frowning, he thought to himself that in his previous life, Mo You hadn’t been like this.
Half a year after Chu Muhuan left the Central Base, Mo You had suddenly begun to stand out. Not only did he rely on his prophecies to help the base avoid several zombie hordes, but he also weeded out many variants, quickly rising to fame in the base.
Why had he turned into a crazy fool in this lifetime?
Thinking of this, Wu Cheng discussed it with Deng Qing.
“Say, should the two of us go and get in touch with Wen Yue?”
Deng Qing was surprised.
“Wen Yue? She is Chu Muhuan’s cousin. She probably won’t side with us, even though her space ability is indeed quite good.”
Wu Cheng smiled mysteriously.
“That’s not necessarily true. After Chu Chengshan died, didn’t she take her family to another base?”
“In my previous life, I heard a piece of gossip. They said that after Chu Muhuan left the base, he somehow found out that his younger sister Chu Chaoxun’s death was related to Wen Yue, and he started hunting Wen Yue down everywhere.”
“However, before I was reborn, Wen Yue had already become the mistress of the Eastern Base’s commander-in-chief. I don’t know if Chu Muhuan ever succeeded in killing her in the end.”
Deng Qing was somewhat astonished.
“Chu Muhuan was injured so badly and never recovered, yet he managed to live that long.”
Wu Cheng sneered mockingly, “Who knows? After all, he had a deep bond with that useless sister of his. Maybe he was holding on all this time just to avenge her.”
“I don’t think Wen Yue cares that much about the Chu family anyway. Why don’t we try to approach her? It would be great if we could lay our hands on the supplies in her space.”
He heard that the reason she was favored by the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Base in her previous life was precisely because her space held an abundance of supplies.
Wu Cheng was incredibly envious.
Hearing this, Deng Qing’s eyes lit up as well.
“Alright, let’s find an opportunity and see if we can corner her. Wen Yue, that woman, holds her head high just because she’s a relative of the Chu family. Her eyes are basically on her forehead.”
Decisive in his actions, Wu Cheng immediately went to find Wen Yue.
Wen Yue lived in Villa C1. Seeing Wu Cheng and recognizing his Level 6 ability, her attitude was acceptable.
“Do you need something from me?”
Wu Cheng: “Miss Wen, there is indeed something. Why don’t we find a quieter place to speak in detail?”
Wen Yue looked slightly repulsed.
“No need. If you have anything to say, just say it here at the door.”
He shouldn’t think that just because he was a Level 6 ability user, he could try to cozy up to her.
Wu Cheng’s expression remained unchanged.
“Right now, the situation inside the base is tense. The invaders are just outside, and who knows when they will make a comeback. Colonel Chu is seriously injured, so we have to plan ahead.”
Wen Yue raised her eyebrows.
“Just say whatever you want to say. Don’t beat around the bush with me; I don’t have that much patience.”
Wu Cheng’s eyes turned cold.
“If the invaders occupy the Central Base, none of us will have a good ending. Miss Wen, you have space, and I have strength. Why don’t we cooperate for a win-win situation? When the time comes, all the supplies in the base will be in our hands. Whether we stay at the Central Base or go elsewhere, we will have the leverage.”
Wen Yue curled her lips into a smile.
“No, the Chu family and I are relatives, so of course we must stand together through thick and thin. Besides, I believe the Central Base will win.”
With that, she drove Wu Cheng away.
“I don’t want to hear such things again. You had better not harbor any designs on the base’s supplies.”
Because those things could only belong to her!
Wen Yue shut the door and lay down on the sofa.
Recalling the events of her previous life, she thought to himself that she couldn’t leave yet while the Central Base hadn’t reached a complete dead end.
She had to wait until Chu Chengshan passed away, Chu Muhuan’s severe injuries became incurable, and the base fell into deeper chaos before she could make her move.
She currently couldn’t get her hands on the access permissions and keys to the base’s granary.
But by then, it might be a different story.
Once she stored all the grain from the Central Base into her space bracelet, she would take her parents and leave this place for the Eastern Base. Then, the good days belonging to her, Wen Yue, would truly arrive.
Wen Yue was also reborn.
In her previous life, Chu Chaoxun had lived a spectacular and prosperous life in the apocalypse relying on the space bracelet.
Even when her grandfather passed away and her older brother was severely injured later on, she still had a powerful fiancé, Lou Lihan.
Although Lou Lihan’s affection for Chu Chaoxun was not romantic love between a man and a woman, he was still willing to honor the engagement, marry her, and protect her all along.
Even after Lou Lihan was surrounded and killed by variants later on, Chu Chaoxun met the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Base. That man fell in love with her at first sight and took her back to the Eastern Base to marry her.
It could be said that Chu Chaoxun had never suffered a single day of hardship. Even in the apocalypse, she was still pampered like a high-born young lady.
Wen Yue did not have such good fortune.
Her parents had died in a zombie horde, and she possessed no special abilities. Even though she was taken care of by the Chu family initially, the Chu family eventually fell from power. The base became a chaotic mess devoid of order, and the evils of the apocalypse began to truly manifest.
For the sake of a single bite of food, she had bowed and scraped, sold her body, and suffered endless hardships, only to be dragged into a bizarre domain in the end, dying silently.
After her rebirth, Wen Yue swore that she would snatch away Chu Chaoxun’s space bracelet. She wanted countless supplies; she never wanted to experience the taste of starvation ever again!
Therefore, when she realized she had returned to the moment when she and Chu Chaoxun were relocating to the Central Base together, she knew her opportunity had come.
Knowing Chu Chaoxun’s spoiled and arrogant personality, she had deliberately provoked her into an argument. Then, she purposely pushed her to the ground, causing her to scrape herself, and used the wound as an opportunity to poison her.
After that, Chu Chaoxun fell into the zombie horde.
Wen Yue had seen it with her own eyes.
Although after returning to the base, Chu Chengshan and his associate had questioned her repeatedly about the details of Chu Chaoxun falling behind—to the point where she almost thought she was going to expose herself—she was still living comfortably in the villa now, wasn’t she?
When she heard that Lou Lihan was leading a team to bring Chu Chaoxun back to the base, she couldn’t even help but laugh out loud.
Chu Chaoxun was definitely dead long ago; why waste the base’s resources?
Lou Lihan’s rescue team was destined to make a futile trip.
It would be for the best if Lou Lihan died out there this time as well, so he could become a zombie couple with Chu Chaoxun.
