Reborn In The Apocalypse: It Had Always Been You

Chapter 48: Crisis

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This was a level-five mental-powered zombie, the most terrifying opponent they had ever encountered. It had absolute power over its domain. Gu Jincheng shielded them from its attack, but he could not be outside the range of City M, or they would fall into this zombie’s absolute domain.

Gu Jincheng’s expression was calm as he narrowed his eyes. At the zombie’s attack, he moved slightly. The zombie’s hands pierced through his shoulder instead of his heart.

The zombie paused for a moment. It seemed that it did not expect anyone to be able to move within its absolute domain. This made it observe this man.

Mental superpower was special. Level-five mental-powered zombies had regained some consciousness and were as smart as five-year-olds.

The zombie attacked him again. Gu Jincheng, who was using all his power to fend off its attacks, had cracks in his exposed skin because of the chaotic airflow in his body.

Su Shanshan shouted at Gu Zhao, who was restraining her, “Let go of me! I want to save him!”

Gu Zhao did not feel good either, but he could not watch Su Shanshan die, whether it was because of his master’s orders or his own feelings for her.

“Gu Jincheng!” Su Shanshan’s eyes became fearful. The zombie’s hand reached for his brain. When an ice wall suddenly appeared, it stopped the zombie’s movement. It frowned in a human-like manner and glared at Su Shanshan with its white eyes.

Gu Jincheng grunted and struck with the accumulated lightning in his hand. This bit of lightning was not a threat to the zombie in its absolute domain, but Gu Jincheng’s goal was to attract its attention.

Gu Jincheng and the zombie were in a deadlock. Neither of them could subdue the other.

But those outside City M were not having it easy either. They looked more frightened than ever. The cracks in the ground had already reached Gu Jincheng. It looked like he would be buried in the next second

“Boss!”

“Master!”

“Gu Jincheng!”

They cried out in surprise at the same time as a figure charged out. The moment she entered the absolute domain, Su Shanshan felt as if all the bones in her body were about to be crushed. Is this the pain he is enduring? she thought.

Su Shanshan had always wanted to make it up to him, but it seemed that she was owing him more and more. “I’m sorry, Gu Jincheng.”

She shouted loudly, and her ice-type ability completely erupted. At the cost of burning up her life, the cinnabar mole on her chest heated up. The warm spiritual spring flowed from her fingertips and transformed into an ice saber. She suddenly found that she could move. She quickly used the ice saber to cut through the barrier of the absolute domain, rushed to Gu Jincheng’s side, grabbed him, and pushed him outside the city.

This time, she could not watch him die in front of her.

The absolute domain returned to normal once again. The furious zombie punctured Su Shanshan’s chest with one hand. She had exhausted her superpower and was powerless to resist the blow.

Su Shanshan looked at Gu Jincheng outside the city and smiled. She wanted to say something, but the blood that kept flowing from her mouth prevented her. If I die, Gu Jincheng would be very sad, she

thought.

She hoped that he would find a girl worthy of his love. Then she would not bother him anymore in this lifetime.

Su Shanshan felt no indignation, no resentment, only a hint of reluctance. She could not bear to leave this man.

Even if her rebirth was just to change the outcome of Gu Jincheng dying for her, she felt that it was worth it. Gu Jincheng, you must live well. You can definitely live well in the apocalypse. I hope you’ll be happy.

She closed her eyes and fell back, along with the zombie. The moment they fell, calmness in the land was restored. However, the formerly prosperous City M was no longer there. It was now in complete

ruins.

“Ah,”

Gu Jincheng held his head and roared angrily. The backlash from over exerting his superpower ability caused his body to become fragmented internally. He seemed to have snapped mentally. Su Shanshan’s death was unbearable for him, and his superpower kept erupting. Those around him were all knocked unconscious by his sheer force.

Gu Jincheng staggered towards the spot where Su Shanshan had disappeared. The veins on his body were bulging and he looked exceptionally terrifying. He kept hitting the ground with his hands, wanting to dig Su Shanshan out. His hands were bleeding from the friction.
