Ch 218 Light of the Apocalypse 8.34 (end).
They quickly arrived at the front of the research lab that XunMi had set up. Inside were the researchers that XunMi had sweet talked as well as forcibly brought over.
Although they hadn’t been too happy about it at first, they changed their minds after seeing Holy Light Base and understanding XunMi’s motives. After two long years, they finally manufactured a vaccine.
They still couldn’t save those that had already been changed into zombies. However, they now had a way to save those that had only been infected for less than a day.
They all agreed that they would be able to completely finish off the apocalypse as long as they worked harder.
XunMi personally watched as a researcher in a white lab coat used a needle to insert the yellow-orange liquid into a zombified body. The cure worked quickly. Within a minute, that rotten face began to restore back to normal. The opaque sharp white nails also slowly reverted to its original shape. Besides an overly pale face, there were no other signs of the previous zombie state.
After a few more minutes, the man slowly began to awaken. His black eyes were still a bit fuzzy but without any signs of madness.
“Where am I? What happened to me?” The man held his head, powerless.
“Ahahah! Success, success!” The researchers in the lab erupted. This was the second person that had successfully regained consciousness.
Everyone that came to watch were also excited. They finally didn’t have to be afraid of being infected and losing their consciousness.
“You guys did great. Keep it up. If you need anything, just ask.” XunMi’s eyes were filled with grat.i.tude. The future was just one step away. They can finally reach out and grab on to it.
Ye MingYe squeezed XunMi’s hand, clasping his fingers with hers, feeling the warmth that they were both emitting.
That night, Holy Light Base partied until daybreak.
The next day, Ye MingYe ordered for the news of the medicine to be spread. He wanted those other bases that needed the medicine to bring over people to record how to replicate the formula. They had direct responsibility over humanity’s survival.
After planning everything, they made sure to pa.s.s their information along, pa.s.sing various checkpoints. Thus, it was only half a month later when the news actually spread out. The other bases were ready to give practically anything in exchange.
But when no news came out afterwards, they became anxious. Were they not planning on telling them? A few couldn’t wait and headed straight to Holy Light base themselves.
Along the way, they met many others who had made the same decision. Together, they walked to Holy Light base. When they saw the atmosphere before them, they all gasped. This was a simple countryside life: quiet, peaceful.
As they were going through inspections, they were given a base manual. Inside was a detailed introduction of the people in charge, as well as a map of where to accept missions and where to exchange and trade items. If anyone wanted to stay, they also included places where they could register for residency.
Those that only came in search of a cure suddenly had an urge to stay.
As time pa.s.sed, the news of a cure spread to other bases. At the same time, the once popular B base faced their final, largest crisis. It didn’t come in the form of zombies or those evolved creatures. Instead, it was from humans!
Ming Liang’s wind abilities had already risen to level four. He should have been able to overpower the level three Xu Yi. But Xu Yi had a G.o.d’s fortunate child in the form of the female lead by his side. At the risk of her own life, she continued to endlessly absorb crystal energy stones. It helped increase her healing abilities. She was able to provide Xu Yi the safety of limitless healing. No matter how severe the injury, she could heal it.
This was why the two men fought head to head for over a year without outcome.
But today, it was finally ending.
“Ming Mei, you b.i.t.c.h. Let’s see how you’re gonna get back up now.” Ming Liang looked at the woman who had her four limbs broken, her face scratched up, and her tongue chopped off. She continued to wriggle with pain. {T/N: Geezus, people.}
A carefree smile formed on his face. After two years of misery, he finally had a way to vent. That dog Xu Yi was just a mutt. How dare he try to fight him? Luckily, the dog had taken the bait. Now, he was probably already zombie food.
Just thinking about it made Ming Liang happy.
Ming Mei’s eyes glazed over. Her dark hair had already turned grey white. She couldn’t do anything anymore. Even if she wanted to glare and Ming Liang with hatred, she couldn’t. Only at this moment did Ming Mei realize how stupid she had been.
If she had woken up that day and used her memories of the future without angering the people that had never been hers, she wouldn’t have ended up like this. But she didn’t want to give up.
Ming XunMi has already killed Ye ge in the last life. Why did the reincarnated Ye ge still fall in love with her?
Meanwhile, she didn’t get anything besides hate and pain. What exactly had she been fighting for for the past few years?
She wanted to laugh out loud. But when she opened her mouth, she realized that she couldn’t even make a sound. This was karma, karma.
Ming Liang, you’ll get what you deserve sooner or later. I’ll be waiting for you in h.e.l.l. She closed her eyes. She no longer had any will to live.
Ming Liang said a few more words to ridicule Ming Mei before leaving her in this bas.e.m.e.nt to die.
On the other hand, Xu Yi had fallen in Ming Liang’s trap. He only realized that he had been lied to when his team arrived at the destination. The price for his naivety was that everyone else in his group becoming zombie food.
He angrily rushed back to the base. In the end, he clutched onto Ming Liang and self-exploded his crystal energy stones.
Xun Mi watched as BaoBao summarized the events, her eyes calm.
Cause and effect. The cycle always granted retribution. Everyone eventually will get what they deserve.
“What are you thinking about?” Ye MingYe pulled XunMi into his arms. They watched the fields below them.
Not far away, men and women worked hard on the farm. In the background, laughter rang out from the houses. Their merry laughter flowed into their ears. Here, it was like there was no apocalypse.
“No. I just think everything now is good. There’s you, there’s me. There’s this peaceful place.” Right now was good.
Ye MingYe places his chin on XunMi’s shoulder, watching this unique area of peaceful happiness with his loved one.
Three years later, through hard work, the answer to the zombie virus was finally successfully manufactured.
September of that same year, the two strongest champions of the apocalypse held their grand wedding.
