Yang Qian ordered his men to escort as many people away as possible. He killed zombies all along the way to clear up the streets, leaving the places he passed by full of zombie corpses! Finally, he came before Huo Yi, a cold killing intent emanating from his eyes, while he seemed to be speaking through gritted teeth, “It’s you.”
Huo Yi raised an eyebrow and smiled, “It’s me.”
After he escaped the last time, he realized that he couldn’t win against Yang Qian, especially when almost all of his subordinates had been killed or wounded. With only a few people left, it was absolutely impossible for him to reclaim his territory! Since he couldn’t get it back, then he might as well destroy it, ba! No one could snatch anything out of his hands!
“But, the one who’ll die today is you,” Huo Yi chuckled, turned his head to the side, and said, “Zuo He, help me kill him. Half of the things in this base will belong to you.”
A man walked out from the shadows. It was exactly the ability-user who’d tried to snach resources from Yang Qian the last time, and plotted against him. He smiled at Yang Qian, and said, “You’re very powerful, but today we have two people, while you’re by yourself.”
You’re the only one who’ll die today!
In an instant, both of these formidable ability-users brought out their trump cards, putting their all into launching attacks at Yang Qian!
The space around Yang Qian seemed to be distorting, and the rays of light from the clashing of their abilities illuminated the heavens and earth!
Many of the fleeing people couldn’t help but look back in that direction, but they couldn’t see anything too clearly. They could only vaguely see one man fighting with two others. That person… had to be Yang Qia, ba. He was obstructing the enemy for them, one versus two, trying to buy some time for them.
………………
This gloomy night was destined to be dark and terrible…
Many people had been quietly submerged and swallowed, not even leaving bones behind, while fewer people had managed to make their way out through a passage in the back under the protection of ability-users.

Ye Ming and Xu Xiaoyue went against the current. Xu Xiaoyue’s ability was very powerful. No zombies could get close to them, but even so, they still had a rough time.

Yang Qian said slowly, “Yes, almost.”
Yang Qian finished Huo Yi with a single blow. There was a look of unparalleled grief in his eyes. So what if he’d killed this person? None of this could be fixed. The base had already been destroyed.
The home he wanted to give Ye Ming was gone. And Ye Ming and Xu Xiaoyue had no abilities, so things were probably very dangerous for them right now…
Yang Qian coughed up a mouthful of blood. His entire body was covered in injuries, and his strength had been exhausted. He couldn’t summon even a sliver of his ability anymore. He turned around, wanting to leave this place to go find Ye Ming… but, there were too many zombies.
Yang Qian ran desperately. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. A zombie had chased after him from behind, and bit hard at his shoulder, tearing off a chunk of bloody flesh. Yang Qian unsheathed the knife at his leg, and killed the zombie with a single slash. At this moment, he saw a gate in front of him.
This was the villa he’d been living in, with a thick iron gate. Right now, the iron gate had been left wide open, while the people inside had already fled, leaving the place completely deserted.
Yang Qian abruptly rushed in, and locked the gate from the inside, blocking out the zombies. When the zombies wandering inside the villa heard the sounds and moved towards him, Yang Qian cleared them out one by one. Finally, he made it to the living room and closed the door, before weakly sinking to the ground.
There were many wounds on his body, but the most fatal one was the injury to his shoulder, where he’d been bitten by a zombie.
He just sat alone like this on the ground, leaning against the wall, before shutting his eyes wearily. He couldn’t walk anymore. He was going to die, and wouldn’t be able to go find Ye Ming again.
But, Shi Yang and them would probably try their best to protect them…
As long as they escaped from here, there’d still be hope.
Yang Qian could feel that his body was gradually turning cold. After being bitten by a zombie, most people wouldn’t be able to hold on for more than a few hours before changing, but because he was an ability-user, he’d be able to last longer, likely one or two days at most.
But, no matter how long it took, the result would be no different in the end. No one could escape this d*mning outcome. He’d also become the same as those zombies outside, losing his rationality, craving flesh and blood.
The locked iron gate made this place seem very quiet for once, but also made it seem especially desolate. The outside should’ve been surrounded by zombies. There were no more living people here. Soon… he’d no longer be a living person either.
Yang Qian didn’t know how long he’d been sitting there. He struggled to stand up, then went up to a nearby drawer, and took out a gun.
He didn’t want to stay here alone, and become one of the living dead roaming around in the dark, with no one knowing of his existence, no one knowing his identity, forever wandering here alone, until the day came for a stranger to get rid of him.. at least before then, he could still end his life with his own hands.
Slowly, Yang Qian loaded a bullet, then gently stroked the cold, black barrel of the gun.
This time, there would be no more miracles.
Not anymore.
Looking at the gun in his hand, Yang Qian smiled a little absent-mindedly, before raising it to his temple. But right at the moment he was about to pull the trigger, he suddenly seemed to be able to hear someone calling him from the outside.
That voice was anxious, panicked, and familiar…
It was Ye Ming’s voice.
“Are you in there? Are you there? Yang Qian?” Ye Ming yelled, and pounded on the iron door. He’d followed a trail of blood and made his way here, but perhaps Yang Qian wasn’t here, and had fled to another spot. In this kind of chaos, it really was too difficult to find someone.
Xu Xiaoyue burned up the zombies nearby, then said restlessly, “Ge, we should just go, ba! Maybe Yang Qian has already escaped, and we’ll be able to meet up with him outside. Doing this isn’t the solution.”
Ye Ming said worriedly, “No, if he were doing okay, then he definitely would’ve come to find me!”
When he said this, his incomparably bright eyes glowed with determination in the dark night. He firmly believed that if Yang Qian were doing okay, then he absolutely would’ve come to find him! If he hadn’t come looking for him yet, then something must’ve gone wrong…
The rims of Ye Ming’s eyes turned red, and he continued to shout, “Are you in there?”
But the villa appeared to be deserted, and there were no sounds.
Ye Ming finally revealed a disappointed look, and turned around to go search elsewhere, when he heard Xu Xiaoyue call out, “Ge, look!”
When he looked back, he saw a man walk out of the house, looking at him from a distance through the iron gate. When he met his gaze, It felt as though an entire lifetime had passed by.
A look of wild joy appeared in Ye Ming’s eyes. He and Xu Xiaoyue flipped over the iron gate! Then, they rushed over to Yang Qian! Alarmed, he asked, “What happened to you, why’s there so much blood on your body!”
Yang Qian looked at Ye Ming, a little distracted. Blood trailed down his hand that was holding onto the gun, dripping onto the ground, but he couldn’t feel any of the pain in his body… seeing Ye Ming’s panicked and worried appearance, he suddenly let out a gentle smile, but also seemed a bit regretful and sad.
He was very happy that he could still see Ye Ming appear in front of him before his death. In this lonely and forsaken night… the person he loved seemed to have descended from the sky, appearing in front of him like a dream… he hadn’t given up on him.
But he was also filled with regret. He’d prefer to die alone in a place no one knew about, rather than let Ye Ming watch as he died with his own eyes. He was even more unwilling to let Ye Ming encounter any dangers because of him.
Ye Ming shouldn’t have come.
Ye Ming examined Yang Qian very carefully, then pulled him inside the house. He swiftly found the first aid kit, helping Yang Qian clean out his wounds while complaining, “Don’t you know how to treat your wounds and stop the bleeding first? You’ll die if you bleed out like this!”
Yang Qian let Ye Ming do as he liked, sitting there with a smile, before he sighed softly, “There’s no need, it’s unnecessary.”
“What’re you saying—” what kind of nonsense— Ye Ming’s gaze had fallen on Yang Qian’s shoulder, and the remaining half of his sentence was stuck in his throat, and he was unable to continue.
The wound he’d cleaned up revealed its shape, and Xu Xiaoyue let out a scream, “He was bitten!”
Ye Ming blinked, and a single tear fell down uncontrollably without him even realizing it. He stared at the wound blankly, then looked at Yang Qian, his gaze appearing a little lost, mixed with some despair.
Yang Qian said, “So I said, there’s no need…” His voice was very soft, and there seemed to be a touch of helplessness.
He’d lost a lot of blood, and exhausted all of his strength. No matter how powerful an ability-user he was, to the world, he was merely an ant in the end. This day probably would’ve come sooner or later… it was just a pity that he’d no longer be able to protect Ye Ming, and wouldn’t be able to give him the world that he wanted.
He hadn’t accomplished any of the things he’d promised him yet, but already had to leave first ahead of him.
“I’m sorry,” Yang Qian said.
Ye Ming gradually raised his head, then looked at him with red eyes, and said, “What’re you sorry for?”
Yang Qian said slowly, “I won’t be able to accompany you anymore.”
It’s so sad…I don’t want Yangqian to just die like this!
Thank you for the chapter
Gee, this is the second to last world and it’s pretty gruesome because of the ML. Now that we’re moving onto the last world, I have a feeling the ML might be worse than Yang Qian 0_0
Thanks for the chapter! 😘
I’m not crying for YQ, I’m crying for Xu Xiaofei dammit!
Yes that’s what I’m telling myself too lmao
Sighs even if the worlds aren’t real, the charas inside feel human, so YM using them as chess pieces to manipulate the situation around makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable and not become he’s just sly and crooked with no bottom line other than certain things which touches his sore spots. Can’t wait for the main plot to come in waves~
*because
Yuzsss this is the dog blood I came forrr. This is good. Good. Muhahaha. Goood.
