Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Post-Apocalyptic Light Queen VS Space Female Supporting Character (Part 2) Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Post-Apocalyptic Light Queen VS Space Female Supporting Character (Part 2) The system acted swiftly as Gu Shengyin closed her eyes to feel the abundant Light Magic Power within her body.
This way, at least, she had some means to protect herself in the apocalypse.
At that moment, the car shuddered and came to a stop.
“Time to eat?” a voice clearly addressed Gu Shengyin.
She opened her eyes and glanced at the man who spoke.
She knew him; his name was Qiao Cheng. He was one of the three people sent by Zhong Lingyu to kidnap Li Shengxi, and the only one who treated her somewhat kindly.
The other two did not look at Gu Shengyin with friendly eyes.
Seeing that Gu Shengyin didn’t speak, Qiao Cheng thought the miss was throwing a tantrum and unwilling to cooperate, he sighed, “It’s no use acting . We have already taken you out of the Imperial Capital’s base. You, being an ordinary person, even if you manage to escape, in the current world order, you couldn’t possibly survive the journey back, right?”
Gu Shengyin remained silent for a while before speaking, “Untie the ropes for me.”
Qiao Cheng hesitated. Gu Shengyin scoffed, “What, are you worried that I, a frail ordinary person, could escape under the watch of three Special Ability Users?”
At that moment, a chubby man in the driver’s seat spoke up, “You sure have a temper, little lady. But, I must say, your face is quite fetching!”
He laughed slyly twice, casting a not-so-kind glance at Gu Shengyin.
Qiao Cheng untied the ropes binding Gu Shengyin’s hands and feet while warning the chubby man, “Leper, don’t forget that she is meant for the boss of Frost Base.”
The chubby man pursed his lips nonchalantly, “Got it, just making small talk.”
Another individual, always seen with a straw hat covering half of his face, sat in the passenger seat. Gu Shengyin had never seen his face or heard him speak.
However, from the attitudes of Leper and Qiao Cheng, she guessed this man must be ruthless.
The food Qiao Cheng gave her consisted only of a cup of water and a small packet of compressed biscuits, which did not taste good but were barely enough to stave off hunger.
Even so, Leper still complained bitterly, “Damn, this food could have gotten me a fiery romp with a hot chick back at the base!”
Gu Shengyin, who had always been accustomed to luxury, truly found it hard to swallow.
At this moment, the Li family must be frantically searching for her, Gu Shengyin thought distractedly.
She looked out the car window.
The sky was a dull, heavy gray, as if someone had forcibly draped a thick curtain over it, blocking out the sunlight.
The car remained idle on a highway, the ground riddled with potholes, occasionally marked by overturned vehicles and scattered bloodstains and limbs.
The air was thick with a stench of blood, so overpowering it was suffocating.
It reminded her inexplicably of the Land of Inauspicious from her last world.
In the distance, a shaky figure moved slowly. At this time, in this pose, Gu Shengyin knew it couldn’t be a living human.
This was the most terrifying thing in the apocalypse—Zombies.
No one knew why Zombies appeared, just as no one knew why, from merely waking up one morning, the whole world had transformed dramatically.
It happened overnight. Upon awakening, people discovered that the sun had not risen again; the sky was covered by a cloud of haze, and the ground began to collapse significantly.
Some people manifested the legendary Superpowers, while many more became monsters.
