Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
How could my Shanshan die?
Su Shanshan, you were the one who asked me ifI wanted to marry you. How
could you go back on your word? You can’t do this. You can’t die without my
permission.
“She won’t die”
“Won’t die”
“No..”
Gu Jincheng kept mumbling, his hands digging the ground mechanically. There
were deep wounds on his fingers, and he seemed to be out of his mind.
His body suddenly stiffened as blood oozed from his ears. He fell to the ground,
seemingly dead.
Awoman walked over from afar and was shocked to see those people on the
ground. When she saw Gu Jincheng, her eyes flashed and she whisked himn
away
The seconds ticked by. Gu Zhao was the first to wake up. He recalled everything
that had just happened and quickly looked around. There was no sign of. Su
Shanshan and Gu Jincheng. Feeling sorrowful, he woke Gu Ling and Fei Lan up.
Fortunately, the surrounding zombies had been attracted to City M and were
destroyed together. Otherwise, they would have been eaten by the zombies.
They knew that Su Shanshan was dead, but where had Gu Jincheng gone? The
few of them started to look for Gu jincheng’s whereabouts in the surrounding
area.
Underground of City M.
Su Shanshan lay on the ground. Blood was flowing out from the wound on her
chest, soaking her entire body. She could barely breathe.
She slowly closed her lifeless eyes and dropped her hands on her stomach.
The moment she closed her eyes, the black and red rock on her chest glowed
with a strange blue light as it sucked her blood.
Even the cinnabar mole on her heart was dominated by the rock. The stream of
spiritual spring water flowed out of the mole and was absorbed by the rock, but
a portion of it reached the wound in Su Shanshan’s heart.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
The wounds on Su Shanshan’s body were almost healed by the spiritual spring
water. The rock on her chest had stopped absorbing her blood, leaving only a
steady stream of spiritual spring water.
Su Shanshan’s fingers moved suddenly, and her dead eyes quivered. A second
later they opened.
She was still a little confused when she woke up. Looking at the block of black
soil above her head, she blinked and became aware of the situation.
She reached for her chest. The gaping hole there had disappeared without
leaving any scar.
Could I have been rebom again? she wondered.
The thought had barely crossed her mind when she dismissed it. She stood up.
There wasa sound of something falling to the ground. She looked down. It was
the extraterrestrial meteorite she had obtained not long ago.
She bent down to pick it up and felt a little dizzy, as if she was hungry. She
touched her empty stomach, which was rumbling, and took out a bag of bread
from her space. As she ate, she observed her surroundings
This place seemed to be a cave, but there was no light around. She was not
sure. The environment was very humid, as if she was underground.
Underground?
She remembered that before she lost consciousness, she did land in a crack in
the ground. She had been swallowed up with City M and had recovered from
her wounds for some reason. That was why she did not die.
She was mulling over her current situation when she felt as if she had stepped
on something. The ground here was uneven, and every step she took would
cause the ground to creak. She used her foot to trace the thing on the ground. It
hard and long object. It felt thin. What is it? she wondered.
She moved her feet and felt around with her hands as she walked forward. The
surrounding stone walls were densely covered with plants that seemed like
vines. She felt something smooth and sticky under her hand. She placed her
hand under her nose and sniffed. There was a pungent smell.
At that moment, she stepped on something. It was round. This feeling, this
hardness, this shape-Su Shanshan instantly understood what it was. She
turned pale and recoiled in horror. This ground was filled with bones. What she
had just stepped on was a human skull.
The realization made her scalp tingle. This cave was actually formed by bones
stacked together. She did not dare to walk around casually, but this place was
dark, and she could not find an exit even if she wanted to.
