Chapter 295: Five Years Later
"Thinking of escaping?"
Watching several helicopters and fighter jets taking off from the central area of the military region, Su Xian'er's eyes flashed with coldness, and a surge of death energy emanated from her body.
Previously, the military region hesitated to send fighter jets into the air, fearing an attack from the zombie birds. However, now that the zombie tide had breached the defense lines, they had no choice but to take a gamble.
As the aircraft quickly ascended, not encountering a siege from the zombie birds, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he thought he had escaped unscathed, several soldiers nearby began shouting in terror.
"Colonel, look..."
"What is it?"
Confused, Liu Yu turned his head and saw a man and a woman floating in the air, expressionless, staring at them.
This eerie scene filled everyone in the cabin with fear. They had just escaped the zombie onslaught, only to encounter this mysterious sight, sparking wild speculations.
Liu Yu, with a panicked look, couldn't help but think of something. Unlike the ordinary soldiers, he had some knowledge about the Zombie King and Order.
Although Liu Yuanbing had kept Liu Yu in solitary confinement these days, Liu Yu had still managed to glean some information from the soldiers.
"Xian'er, it's your turn to take action!"
Derick smiled faintly. Seeing Liu Yu's terrified expression inside the cabin, this could be considered revenge for Xian'er's mother's death, which was inexorably linked to Liu Yu.
Su Xian'er nodded, and her claws quickly extended to half a meter. Stepping on a blood-red glow, she rushed towards the departing aircraft.
Although the aircraft sensed Derick and Su Xian'er, anticipating trouble, they accelerated. However, there was no way they could catch up with Su Xian'er's terrifying, almost teleportation-like speed.
Although there was no specific comparison, Derick estimated that Xian'er's top speed might even surpass his own when flying with lightning control.
Boom, boom, boom...
Successive explosions of fighter jets echoed through the air, each aircraft turning into a fiery spectacle before plummeting to the ground.
The figure of the white-clad girl would pause momentarily next to each burning aircraft, and the next moment, a burst of sparks would explode.
"Hurry, deploy your parachutes..."
Liu Yu shouted in terror, taking the backpack from a soldier's hands, then opening the cabin and jumping out.
In the next moment, Su Xian'er's figure flashed by, her sharp claws piercing directly into Liu Yu's throat. The man's body fell rapidly, eyes filled with fear, struggling desperately as he clutched his neck, but to no avail.
Bang...
A crisp sound resonated as the parachute's cord automatically snapped open, slowly lowering Liu Yu's lifeless body to the ground.
By this point, all the fighter jets flying in the sky had been shot down by Su Xian'er, turning into fireballs dropping onto the earth.
Su Xian'er looked at the distant zombie tide, a dark and endless swarm, overwhelming the entire military camp. Explosions and cries echoed everywhere. Just a few minutes later, the military region had completely fallen, with only the zombie tide feasting on the remains.
Except for a few lucky soldiers who managed to escape, the vast majority of the soldiers had perished, devoured by the zombie tide.
The white-clad girl stood still in the air, her jade-like hands hanging on either side. Despite experiencing a fierce battle, she still looked like a ethereal fairy, though the blood-dripping sharp claws were a stark contrast.
The vendetta had been avenged, but Su Xian'er seemed to be in a state of confusion. Since emerging, she had only spent a short month, and her thoughts revolved around seeking revenge for her mother and finding Derick.
Now that Dad has also been found, and Mom's vengeance has been avenged, the zombie queen, who was once pure and fairy-like, suddenly seemed at a loss, as if losing her direction. Her gaze, dazed, stared at the distant battlefield, and a line of tears silently streamed down her face.
"Farewell... Mom!"
Derick silently flew to the girl's side and held her hands. Su Xian'er's jade-like hands trembled slightly, as if she didn't want her father to see her like this, but Derick's grip was strong, and she didn't struggle.
Derick embraced his daughter, gently soothing her restless heart. As a zombie queen, she naturally had a different temperament, with a wild and cruel personality. Although she was extremely obedient in front of Derick, it was a completely different story when facing others.
Su Xian'er's body trembled gently, and she silently leaned her little head on her father's shoulder. The extended claws quietly retracted.
Gently wiping the tears from the corner of the girl's eyes, Derick's gentle actions warmed Su Xian'er's heart, making her feel less lost.
A faint smile appeared on the calm face of the girl, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up as she silently buried her small head in Derick's embrace.
"Xian'er, let's go home!"
"Okay..."
The girl raised her head, and her gaze at Derick seemed to carry a hint of amusement. Her little face also showed a hint of happiness.
Derick patted Su Xian'er's small head, then held her hand and flew directly towards the direction of Grizzly.
...
Time flew, and it was already five years later.
Tianhai Province, Anqing City.
This place was not heavily affected after the apocalypse, mainly because of the smaller population. After the apocalypse, the military and police formed a joint command center, gathering a large number of survivors.
Relying on the massive underground nuclear engineering structures in Anqing City, survivors hid underground for three long years, barely sustaining their existence. However, this way of life was completely shattered two years ago. A group of incredibly powerful female warriors, dressed in the same attire, took control of the underground facilities. They forcefully seized the management of the largest base in Anqing City and integrated several survivor bases into one.
With the arrival of these female warriors, the lives of Anqing City survivors were completely transformed. Not only did their safety receive significant protection, but all zombies within the city were also driven away, and tall walls were erected.
The only remaining base in Anqing City underwent a revolutionary change that surprised all survivors.
"An Rushui, you've passed the inspection and have a chance to qualify for entry into the Order's main base."
In a small house, a female warrior dressed in a moon-white short robe and a blue skirt held a document and spoke to a young girl.
"Really?"
An Rushui stood still, feeling like she had just been hit by a pie falling from the sky. She felt dizzy all over.
Several girls gathered around to watch, hearing the words of the female warrior, and their hearts were filled with envy. Just with this one order, they might have a chance that could be elusive for their entire lives.
The other girls, seeing An Rushui still in a daze, quickly nudged her, reminding her not to forget to respond to the words of the female warrior. Offending them wouldn't be a good idea, considering those in charge of the base were those formidable, decisive female warriors.
"Thank you for the promotion, my lady. Rushui is deeply grateful..."
An Rushui's tone was excited as she was about to kneel down and bow.
The female warrior promptly stopped her.
Although An Rushui was currently just an ordinary girl, her performance in various assessments was outstanding, and her appearance could be described as breathtaking. Now, she had the qualification to enter the Order's main base. Even if she ended up as an ordinary female warrior, they would be colleagues, and there was no need to be overly polite.
If, by some stroke of luck, An Rushui caught the eye of the divine figure in charge, she could ascend to greater heights. With the favor of her mentor, she might even get closer to the supreme leader.
However, the female warrior was realistic. She held this thought as more of a trial, acknowledging that while An Rushui was indeed enviable in terms of looks, she still fell slightly short compared to the main ladies of the Order. Not to mention the leader's daughter, who was truly celestial.
