Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland: The Female Protagonist Has Become a God

Chapter 161 Hate, Love, Fear

Liu Yu walked to the steps and sat down. She looked melancholy, then gave a self-deprecating laugh: "So your name is Chi Feiyan. You really fooled me so badly."

Seven months ago, she rescued a woman who was on the verge of death outside the base and took her back to treat and care for her for more than half a month.

When she woke up, the woman told her that her name was Yan Feifei.

Because she had not officially joined the base, he had been living in her house as a friend.

After spending a lot of time together, they seemed to become like real friends.

But one day she suddenly disappeared, followed by news that someone had challenged the base commander.

Then the original base chief was defeated and killed, and the challenger successfully took over as the new base chief.

Because she didn't see that battle, and because the base leaders all lived in the superhuman zone, which was beyond her reach as an ordinary person, she had no chance to see what the new base leader looked like.

She had wondered if she might be the challenger, because everything seemed too coincidental, but without concrete evidence, she had to suppress the speculation.

Today, the answer that had troubled her for so long was finally revealed, confirming her suspicions. She instantly felt like a joke, filled with regret and remorse for letting the wolf into her home!

"Chi Feiyan, Chi Feiyan... Chi Feiyan!" Her eyes were bloodshot, and she repeated Chi Feiyan's name over and over with hatred.

"I hate you!"

Suddenly, a rush of blood surged up her throat, and she felt a metallic sweetness enter her throat, causing her to cough violently until she finally spat out a mouthful of blood.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, stood up expressionlessly, and walked in one direction.

Liu Yu bypassed the crowd and entered a secluded path. There was only one path, narrow enough for only one person to pass at a time. Perhaps because no one had used it for a long time, the surrounding weeds had gradually taken over the path, almost completely erasing any trace of it.

Liu Yu walked slowly, her expression growing increasingly sorrowful.

This place is filled with her memories of her lover. She had walked this path countless times, and every time she passed through it, she would see her beloved. But this time, she would never see him again.

Her steps grew slower and slower, as if each step had exhausted all her strength. Finally, she collapsed to her knees, clutching her heart and breathing rapidly.

It hurts, it really hurts.

Her heart felt as if it were being scraped by fingernails, a mixture of pain and itchiness. The unspeakable longing and bitterness were so intense that she could hardly breathe.

Liu Yu parted the weeds with her hands and began to mutter to herself.

"Ling Mu...you're gone, and all traces of our past are fading away. What should I do...how can I keep you, keep our past..."

She was filled with remorse, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't brought her back, would you have been spared from being killed by her?"

"Ling Mu, am I useless? I only cause you trouble."

“I want to avenge you, and I want to come here to search for your traces in my memories… But now I don’t even have the right to set foot here.”

The words spoken by the man who doted on her seem like they were spoken just yesterday.

You are not my trouble, you are my luck.

As long as I am here, I will never allow anyone to look down on you or humiliate you.

Hey, I'm the boss of this base, you know. Do you think I'm qualified to be your leader?

Don't worry, silly girl, I'll be back safely.

You are my strongest source of energy, because you are my love.

If I win, will you marry me when I come back? I knew I wanted to marry you from the very first moment I saw you.

Silly girl, I'm sorry, it seems I can't marry you. I really didn't mean to break my promise...

"Ling Mu, I miss you so much, so much, I'm going crazy with longing..."

After suppressing her emotions for so long, Liu Yu finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

After a long time, so long that it got dark, Liu Yu finally stood up, supporting herself with her hands on the ground.

Ling Mu, please wait for me. We'll be able to meet soon.

Liu Yu arrived at a building that was taller than the other houses; it was the residence of the previous base commander.

Looking at the house, which was so familiar, I felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

Suppressing her sadness, Liu Yu quietly went around to a small storeroom at the back of the house. She climbed through the window and went inside, looking around by the moonlight. Finally, her gaze fell on the dagger on the shelf.

She walked over and put the dagger into her pocket.

After taking five steps to the right, I bent down and pried open a floor tile. The mechanism was triggered, and the wall in front of me slid to one side, revealing a staircase.

As Liu Yu walked down the stairs, the automatic door closed, and the motion-sensor lights turned on one by one as she passed by.

This is an underground passage, built by Ling Mu so that she could easily find him.

Because she often sneaked away to see him, one time she happened to catch him sleeping and couldn't get into the room. But at that time, she had obtained something interesting and really wanted to share it with him, and at the same time, she really wanted to see him.

So she found a ladder and climbed up to his second-floor balcony, intending to leave her things with him, peek at him again, and then leave.

But to her surprise, the ladder was fine when she went up, but it suddenly broke when she went down, leaving her stranded on the balcony in the cold wind all night. In the morning, she was mistaken for a thief and almost beaten to death and thrown out of the base.

Because at that time she lived in the ordinary people's area, almost no one in the superhuman area knew her.

To prevent such a thing from happening again, Ling Mu built a secret passage that was exclusively for her, leading directly to his study.

She once asked Ling Mu why it was so complicated and why he couldn't just give her a key.

Ling Mu said that keys can break, be lost, or be forgotten, and there are times when they can't open the lock, but the road built for her will always be there.

At the end of the passage was a staircase leading upwards. Liu Yu went up the staircase but did not rush to open the door. Instead, she leaned against the door and listened carefully to the sounds outside.

Screams and cries for mercy reached her ears through the door.

"Spare me, Commander! Please, spare me, spare me..."

The man knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy, the heart-wrenching screams echoing in his ears, making his whole body tremble uncontrollably.

The woman sitting high above had a cold indifference in her eyes, like a stagnant pool, which did not ripple even when he begged for mercy.

"Playing games requires following the rules, and you've broken the rules, which puts me in a difficult position..."

Chi Feiyan casually tapped the armrest with her fingers, resting her chin on her hand and making a troubled expression.

As soon as she finished speaking, the person who was suffering in agony collapsed to the ground with a thud and died.

The man, kowtowing and begging for mercy, kept his head on the ground, not daring to raise his head. His gaze secretly fell on the person lying beside him, whose unseeing eyes were staring at him.

He was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and could only sob and cry.

"One, two, three... seven."

Chi Feiyan stretched out her fingers and counted the corpses on the ground. When she counted to seven, she pointed to the person who had just fallen.

Then her finger moved slightly to the side, pointing at the man kneeling on the ground, and she slowly uttered an eight from her lips.

"It's your turn now~"

"Base Commander, please spare my life. I really know I was wrong. Our superpowers have all been crippled by the Deputy Base Commander, so there will be no possibility of making mistakes again."

"Furthermore, I promise to get out of the base immediately and never come back, and I will not say a word about what happened here."

"Please, please spare me..."

At this moment, Chi Feiyan's face was as cold as it could possibly be. "It's so noisy."

She glanced at Xing Wuxiu, who was watching the scene unfold, and coldly ordered, "Make him quiet."

Xing Wuxiu raised an eyebrow and stood up leisurely. He casually picked up a piece of broken vase from the ground. The long piece was shaped like a cone. He tossed it lightly in his hand a couple of times and said with satisfaction, "This is not bad."

He slowly walked towards the man, and with each step he got closer, the man's fear increased, and he trembled even more violently.

Xing Wuxiu bent down, reached out and pulled his hair to make him tilt his head back.

"Good boy/girl, open your mouth." He smiled playfully, his tone gentle as if he were coaxing a naughty child to eat.

The man shook his head in terror, and finally fainted.

Xing Wuxiu's smile vanished, and he clicked his tongue impatiently, "What a spoilsport."

One scream after another rang out, until the last scream was followed by only whimpers from the throat and the screeching sound of fingernails scratching the floor.

Liu Yu was terrified by these sounds, and cold sweat broke out on her back.

She turned away, wanting to escape; she didn't want to hear those chilling sounds anymore.

Because she was feeling unsettled, she missed a step while walking down the stairs. Although she quickly regained her balance, she ended up stepping rather heavily, making a loud noise.

At that moment, all sound in the study went silent.

Soon, the sound of knocking on the wall came one after another.

"Heh~ It seems like there are some naughty little mice hiding inside eavesdropping."

"Will you come out on your own, or should I blow you out?"
