Ning Su jumped off the wall and ran to them, saying, “President, Sister Ke.”
He looked at them with bright eyes: “I understand now, you didn’t join them in trying to kill the other me.”
He paused and asked, “Aren’t you afraid he’ll bring the zombies to wipe out all of humanity?”
Xia Ke smiled and said, “I’ve met him before. What zombie king destroying all of humanity? He’s just a foodie. He followed us for a box of self-heating hotpot.”
Ning Su: “……”
There’s even self-heating hotpot?
Xia Ke continued, “We brought him into the school’s territory. If he really wanted to kill, all the human faction players in the territory would have been dead that night.”
Shi Tianzhu said, “Knowing our choice, you also know my plan, right?”
Ning Su nodded happily.
He was truly very happy.
He had never experienced this feeling of being completely trusted and supported by his teammates.
He said, “President, you believe in the other me. He definitely won’t destroy the humans here.”
Shi Tianzhu: “Since we made this choice, destruction is acceptable.”
Ning Su was stunned for a moment. While feeling happy, he apologized, “The troublesome part is that I didn’t protect the other you well. She might be temporarily controlled by the Yongming Guild.”
Shi Tianzhu: “It’s okay. Being controlled means they won’t act rashly.”
She looked in the direction where the Black-clothed Azan and his group had left and said, “While I still have time, let’s start our action.”

Outside the human survivors’ base, zombies and humans were already fighting.
Ning Su No. 2 led the zombies to the vicinity. Following their instincts, the zombies started rushing towards the gate, while the humans attacked outward out of hostility.
The zombie faction players also joined in, becoming a major force, making the zombie faction appear very strong.
Zhao Zhihu stood at the city gate of the base, growing more anxious by the moment.
He asked the person beside him, “Base Leader, aren’t you feeling better yet? We need you to stabilize the situation.”
The person beside him, with slightly bent fingers resting on the stone railing, gazed distantly at a certain spot.
He spoke lightly, “My body is still very weak; I can’t use my abilities.”
Zhao Zhihu scrutinized him again.
His posture was upright, his profile features sharp, and even the joints of his bent fingers exuded a sense of power.
He didn’t quite understand. “Where exactly is your body weak? What are the specific symptoms?”
Base Leader: “So weak that I can’t hear my heartbeat.”
That indeed sounded very serious.
Zhao Zhihu couldn’t say anything more. He followed the Base Leader’s gaze and saw a small truck in the distance.
Ning Su No. 2 was still sitting in the truck, with two children and Shi Tianzhu beside him, as well as Jing Dinxuan, who had not left.
Ning Su No. 2 asked her discontentedly, “The zombies are already attacking. Why haven’t you released her yet?”
Jing Dinxuan: “We have to wait until the zombies finish attacking.”
Ning Su No. 2: “But there’s no need for you to watch over here, right?”
Jing Dinxuan didn’t respond.
Ning Su No. 2: “Are you really not leaving?”
Jing Dinxuan still didn’t respond.
The inside of the truck suddenly fell silent.
In this quiet moment, Jing Dingxuan could easily hear the sudden sound of the wind being cut through. Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized that they intended to kill her.
She thought that since the White Cage was her skill weapon, it would be safer for her to stay here and watch them. If Ning Su No. 2 did not cooperate, she could use White Cage to kill Shi Tianzhu at any time.
However, she forgot one thing: once a player died, they could no longer control their skill weapon.
They were going to kill her with a single, lethal blow to prevent her from having time to control the weapon.
This thought flashed through her mind in an instant, and by the time she realized it, her head had already been separated from her body.
In that second, her hand was still moving, instinctively clutching.
White Cage contracted abruptly.
The young Shi Tianzhu squatted inside, hugging her head.
Jing Dingxuan’s body was completely weighed down by skulls.
Gui Sheng pulled hard on the bars of the White Cage.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
After Jing Dingxuan completely died, her weapon, White Cage, disappeared.
Seeing Shi Tianzhu, who was bent over but unharmed, Ning Su No. 2 and the two children breathed a sigh of relief.
The little girl not only loved horseback riding but was also skilled in dancing, with a flexible body. She easily stood up, revealing a calm little face from within the tightly wrapped woven cloak. “I’m fine.”
The cloak and shoes made of lingxiao vine provided a layer of basic protection against sharp knives, arrows, and poison gas.
Unexpectedly, this cage was a spatial weapon that could compress instantly. Fortunately, they moved quickly.
Seeing her standing there safely, Ning Su No. 2, without knowing why, acted before thinking and bent down to hug her.
Young Shi Tianzhu was stunned for a moment. She placed her hand on Ning Su’s shoulder and said softly, “Just now, in that life-and-death moment, my biggest regret was not knowing who you really are.”
“The moment I first saw you, or rather, all of you, I felt a strong sense of familiarity and took a leap of faith to trust you.”
“Why? What is our relationship?”
Ning Su did not speak.
Young Shi Tianzhu continued, “I know, in this world, we won’t live long. Can you tell me?”
Ning Su bit his lip and whispered two words in her ear.
It was the first time Ning Su No. 2 said those two words, and it was also the first time the young Shi Tianzhu heard someone call her that.
Amid the sounds of battle, the two of them quietly gave each other a hug, then withdrew their hands in silence without saying a word.
Ning Su No. 2 turned to look at the human survivors’ base city wall, his eyes darkened.
Even from a great distance, he could see that it was the base commander, the face he hated the most.
The base commander looked back at him.
Following his gaze, something in the ground below the city wall began to spread rapidly.
The ground swelled and cracked, heading straight for him.
Ning Su No. 2 gripped the truck rail tightly, fully alert.
When that thing emerged from the ground in front of Ning Su, black lines appeared on the back of his hand, ready to strike.
A four-petaled blood flower quietly bloomed.
One after another, as if to make up for past losses, they bloomed continuously in the young man’s stunned, clear eyes.
The blood red four-petaled flowers filled the boy’s arms.
The dense red overwhelmed the entire evening sky.
Ning Su held them and looked up at the base commander, slowly tightening his arms.
He smiled in that direction, the sunset reflecting in his eyes like a sunrise.
Two children tugged at his pants, peeking up.
Manman: “Mom, what are you looking at?”
Gui Sheng: “Are you happy?”
Ning Su No. 2 stiffened his face, “Base commander, enemy.”
“I want to fight him.” He put the two children down. “Shi Tianzhu is safe now, so go find him. He’s so weak, don’t let him get killed.”
“......”
Thanks for the update 😏😏😏
