“Are you willing to return to the past and start over?”
His voice reached her ears once again.
The voice came from the void, filled with compassionate love and divine majesty.
Su Su came back to her senses and nodded blankly.
She looked at the Time-Space Mirror before her. Inside it was a world where countless lives had been destroyed.
Corpses were everywhere. The glow of the flames stained the blood scarlet, while cries of agony seemed to echo endlessly.
“How did it become like this…?”
Su Su murmured softly.
She waited for a while but received no answer.
Perhaps because she was already dead, Su Su felt that her thoughts had become extremely sluggish.
But she still remembered Xie Anzhou, the man who had devoted his entire life to protecting the base.
Su Su thought that if he knew the world after his death had become like this, with countless lives lost, the earth covered in darkness, and not a single living creature left to be seen, he would probably be heartbroken.
“I’m willing.”
She shouted toward the void.
After hearing her confirmation, His voice came from the void once again.
“To maintain the order of the world, after you are reborn, you cannot reveal anything about your previous life. If this is the case, are you still willing?”
“Mm! I’m willing.”
“Good.”
His voice spread outward like ripples on water.
At the very end, while Su Su’s consciousness was still immersed in chaos, she heard Him say:
“You are a special child. Let me give you one more gift.”
What gift?
However, Su Su did not have time to ask.
When she woke up again, it seemed that a very, very long time had already passed…
Light was like a sword at dawn, piercing through the thick clouds.
The damp scent of moss mixed with the earthy smell of soil filled the depths of the forest.
Su Su kept stretching and contracting her leaves.
As her confused thoughts gradually returned, she knew that she had been reborn.
When the Apocalypse had just broken out, she had descended into the darkness and possessed a small, inconspicuous “weed.”
Su Su remembered that humans called this kind of “weed” Selaginella, an ancient organism that had already become extinct in the long river of history.
It seemed to have another name too: Resurrection Grass.
“Buzz, buzz…”
A mutated insect landed on a fallen tree in front of Su Su.
The insect seemed to have sensed something. It twisted its four mutated compound eyes.
Its serrated forelegs cautiously moved forward a few steps, while its wings trembled with a rustling sound.
Su Su nervously stared at the mutated insect that was eyeing her hungrily.
Come to think of it, it could be considered half of her kind.
Su Su was an alien species that had descended from a black hole and possessed this Selaginella.
(Alien species: Tiny particles invisible to the naked eye.)
This insect, meanwhile, was a mutated organism that had been parasitized and infected by an alien species.
“Buzz!”
Perhaps the slight trembling of Su Su’s leaves had accidentally exposed her.
The mutated insect suddenly flapped its wings and charged toward her, launching an attack.
Su Su could not help contracting all her leaves, wrapping herself into a ball.
Radiating strands of black liquid spread rapidly like a spiderweb.
They clung to the tree trunk and surrounding vegetation, occupying the entire area around her.
Before the mutated insect flying through the air could sense the danger, it was trapped and devoured by the rapidly spreading strands of liquid, disappearing without a trace.
Su Su stared at her liquid strands in surprise.
“So powerful…”
She remembered that she had never possessed such a powerful ability before…
Su Su slowly unfolded her contracted leaves.
A gentle breeze brushed past her, and the power within her gradually became surging and overwhelming.
All the black liquid strands around her withdrew completely. The Selaginella growing between the cracks of the rocks emitted a faint, eerie green glow.
In the next instant, a young girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Sunlight pierced through the canopy and bathed the girl’s delicate, jade-like skin.
She looked like a celestial maiden who had descended from the heavens into the mortal world, carrying a pure and sacred aura untouched by worldly dust.
Su Su opened her moist, sparkling eyes, and her curled eyelashes trembled gently.
She had become human!!!
So this was the “gift” He had mentioned.
The power within Su Su had been completely awakened.
She knew that she had become stronger and was no longer as weak as she had been in her previous life.
Then could she protect Xie Anzhou too?
Would Xie Anzhou no longer die?
An indescribable emotion filled every inch of her body.
Without giving it much thought, Su Su decided that she was going to find him…
Su Su walked for a very long time.
She was currently in a place humans called a forbidden zone, the State of Despair, Shangzhou.
After the Apocalypse broke out, various ancient organisms awakened, unknown black holes appeared, and alien species descended upon Blue Star.
Humans, animals, and plants were all parasitized, infected, and mutated.
Based on the number of black holes appearing in different regions of Blue Star and the severity of the infections, humans divided the areas into lightly infected zones, moderately infected zones, heavily infected zones, and forbidden zones that were separate from these three types of infected areas.
Among the three major forbidden zones known to humanity, Shangzhou could be called the forbidden zone among forbidden zones.
There were no human settlements here. Mutated animals and plants that had been infected could be found everywhere. Even humans who had mutated into zombie variants were rarely seen.
Most of the zombie variants in Shangzhou had already ended up in the stomachs of mutated animals and plants.
Day turned into night and night into day. Su Su walked for nearly two days and three nights before finally reaching the outskirts of the Shangzhou forbidden zone.
She crouched beside the water and stared blankly at the reflection of her face in the rippling surface.
After a while, she finally moved again. She took a clean set of clothes from the backpack beside her and changed.
She had no clothes before. For the past two days, she had used the leaves of some kind of plant to cover herself.
Fortunately, on her way out, she had encountered a human who had died only recently.
Before the corpse could mutate, Su Su had cut off her head and buried her, preventing her from becoming a zombie variant. She had then taken the backpack the woman had been carrying.
There was a calendar inside the backpack with a date circled in red ink.
Su Su now knew which period she was in.
She had been reborn seven years in the past. At this point, less than a year had passed since the Apocalypse had broken out.
In her previous life, Su Su had only been able to transform into human form two years later. It was also two years later that she had met Xie Anzhou.
Before she could transform, Su Su’s consciousness had always been chaotic.
It was His “gift” that had freed Su Su’s consciousness from that chaos, allowing her to transform early while retaining the memories of her previous life.
As for why she had transformed into a human form, it was probably a kind of survival instinct.
That instinct told her that she would be much safer this way.
Su Su wanted to find Xie Anzhou, but where should she look?
She crouched beside the river, drawing circles on the ground as she fell into a dilemma.
After hesitating for a long time, Su Su used water to wipe the dirt from her face.
She was going to Dongshan Base!
She would definitely be able to find Xie Anzhou there.
