Chapter 152

Lin Qianhuan pulled He Lu behind her, giving her a pudding to soothe her emotions.

“Okay, leave the rest to him, just eat yours. Don’t watch here, it’ll probably be very bloody, go inside and play.”

He Lu nodded obediently, eating her pudding while admiring Gu Liansheng’s collection, occasionally letting out a gasp of surprise.

Gu Liansheng’s cheeks were swollen from the beating, and he’d lost several teeth, the pain rendering him speechless.

Liang Zhaoxi carefully placed Liang Anyu’s hand on the ground, taking a sharp boning knife from Lin Qianhuan.

Slice by slice, he cut bloody pieces of flesh from Gu Liansheng’s body.

The excruciating pain kept Gu Liansheng conscious, denying him even the chance to faint.

“How does it feel? Those you devoured only felt more pain than this.”

Liang Zhaoxi threw his flesh into the cage, where the zombies eagerly snapped at it.

Gu Liansheng was trembling all over, but a smile remained on his face.

“Yes, they should be in more pain than me. My life was full of suffering, those who lived better than me all deserve to die. They all deserve to be buried with me!”

Liang Zhaoxi didn’t want to continue communicating with this demon, simply focusing on his task, ignoring Gu Liansheng’s deliberate attempts to provoke him.

Time passed slowly, yet felt incredibly long to Gu Liansheng.

His flesh was being dismembered, his spirit crushed, and his vision began to blur.

The beatings from his parents, the streets swept by bitter winter winds, his sister’s frostbitten hands and feet and thin coat all made him feel lost.

Why, from the moment he was born, had there been no joy in his life?

Why did his innocent little sister have to suffer as well, when he alone was enough to bear the pain?

He hated it, yet he was powerless to resist.

Before the apocalypse, Gu Liansheng dreamed of others smiling at him, offering him a helping hand.

He longed for a warm embrace in the winter, even a ray of sunlight would do.

But throughout his long 18 years, he never received any of these things.

When the apocalypse arrived, he unexpectedly awakened his power, gaining the ability to control others.

But his sister was dead…

Gu Liansheng frantically controlled others to smile at him, but how could he deceive himself?

It was all fake. From beginning to end, his life was a tragedy.

Since that was the case, then he would drag others into hell with him.

…

The farce ended, the ground covered in rusty-smelling blood, and Gu Liansheng had been reduced to a skeleton.

Lin Qianhuan raised her hand to eliminate the three zombies in the cage, then climbed down the ladder to the ground.

After storing all the supplies from the warehouse into her Space, she turned to look at the distraught Liang Zhaoxi.

He had taken his revenge, but his face was filled with sorrow.

“What do you plan to do now?”

Lin Qianhuan turned to look at Liang Zhaoxi, her gaze falling on the glass jar in his arms.

“I plan to stay in the Freedom Base and build it into a home for humanity.”

He looked up at Lin Qianhuan, his expression firm.

“This was my brother’s dream, and I want to help him realize it.”

Lin Qianhuan raised her eyebrows slightly: “You need to think this through. The current Freedom Base is a complete mess. Those with Superpower are unrestrained, and ordinary people suffer humiliation and exploitation. Are you sure you can restore the relationship between them and rebuild this crumbling safe haven?”

Liang Zhaoxi gave a bitter smile: “I want to try, at least I won’t regret it.”

Holding up the glass jar in his hand, his expression softened.

“Once the Freedom Base is back on track, I’ll go and reunite with my brother. I’ve worked hard to save so many people, perhaps he knows in the afterlife and will be proud of me? That way, I’ll have the face to meet him.”

Lin Qianhuan was silent for a long time, but said nothing more, simply taking out a third of the supplies she had stored in her Space.

“Consider this as your starting capital, I’ll buy a share. If I ever need the Freedom Base’s help in the future, you can’t refuse me.”

Liang Zhaoxi nodded to her: “Thank you, Miss Lin, that’s only natural.”

“Okay, then you can handle the things in the basement yourself, we’re going back to rest.”

Lin Qianhuan turned to leave, but was stopped by Liang Zhaoxi.

“Miss Lin, are you planning to leave the Freedom Base tomorrow?”

“Yes.”

“Could you not leave? With your help, perhaps I could complete my mission sooner. I can be your assistant.”

Lin Qianhuan shook her head in refusal: “No need, I don’t have that intention. I’m not interested in the position of base leader, you should take it. The Freedom Base is just a stopover for me, I won’t stay here.”

Liang Zhaoxi didn’t insist: “Alright, I wish you a safe journey.”

Lin Qianhuan nodded and returned to the hotel with her group.

Lin Wansheng had been feeling incredulous all the way.

“That’s it? I thought you were going to fight with that base leader. A chaotic, earth-shattering battle, so that your brother could lend you a hand. Who would have thought, we were just standing guard outside the warehouse.”

Lin Qianhuan chuckled: “He just has a more peculiar Superpower, but he doesn’t have much attack power himself. And my Spirit Spring System is very strong and can keep me safe.”

Lin Yixuan was also in a good mood: “I really didn’t expect that the Freedom Base would have so many supplies stockpiled. We really hit the jackpot this time. Medicine, food, daily necessities, everything. Enough to open a large supermarket.”
