    Chapter 155: The End of the Show

    Without the support of the crystal core energy, these dream bubbles dissipated immediately after displaying the recorded scenes for the last time. After a fleeting glimpse of Li Meng’s life, the room fell into a deathly silence.

    The zombie hearts of Luo WuShang and Li Shi were unmoved. Li Shi even secretly thought Li Meng was a fool. With the talent skill Li Meng had evolved, if she had chosen to create nightmares in this world full of blood and pain, she would definitely be more than just her current level.

    Moreover, compared to the gentle and illusory beautiful dream realms, the painful and murderous nightmares would not only create illusions but also kill people invisibly. She wouldn’t need to painstakingly kill and take cores every day to replenish the energy needed to maintain the stability of the illusion.

    Luo WuShang merely had a sarcastic smile on his lips, sneering inwardly. How pathetic, there are actually people who still maintain beautiful expectations after suffering so much. Even the zombie virus, which infinitely excavates and stimulates evil thoughts, failed to break through that trace of beautiful hope in her.

    Xie YunChuan couldn’t say whether it was regret or sympathy, perhaps just somegǎnkǎi – sighs. So, the reason why the little zombie Li Meng was seen as a normal, beautiful young woman in everyone’s eyes was that Li Meng had rewritten her never-growing-up ending in the illusion.

    In her childhood imagination, she should have grown into such a graceful and moving adult!

    A sob broke the solidified atmosphere. Gu Tangyue wiped the tears from her face and cried, “Wuu~ wuu~ wuu! Li Meng is so pitiful.”

    Although she couldn’t deny the evil deeds of circling territory, killing, and eating meat after becoming a zombie, her life before becoming a zombie was really too miserable, wuu wuu!

    Xu Yuzhe and the others just sighed. There were many people who were miserable after the end of the world, and many who were miserable before the end of the world… she was indeed a pitiful person.

    With feelings of eitherwǎnxī – regret or pain, the others went back to their rooms to rest. Only Luo WuShang remained, guarding Xie YunChuan as he absorbed the crystal core to level up.

    With the ice spirit Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core, as long as the crystal core’s level was high enough, Xie YunChuan’s level up wouldn’t be difficult. Luo WuShang silently watched Xie YunChuan, whose body was surging with energy.

    It had been a long time since he had properly looked at this face. Themónàn – tribulation of the end of the world had not erased the unruly and noble air from his face. He, Xie YunChuan, was still that Xie YunChuan, only he restrained his sharp edges in front of his brother-in-law.

    Brother… heh! Luo Luo, you’re restless. You never used to be like this. Do you miss him?

    Don’t worry, brother will clear away the obstacles for you, and you will always be that… happy child.

    The aura around Xie YunChuan calmed down. Luo WuShang approached. With Luo WuShang’s strength, he could easily see that he had successfully leveled up and casually asked, “How do you feel?”

    Xie YunChuan stretched his muscles and felt the vigorous ice spirit aura within his body, replying, “Not bad.”

    As soon as Xie YunChuan finished speaking, Luo WuShang passed straight by him and walked towards the bedroom. Xie YunChuan stopped him, “Luo WuShang, let Shuyou come out. This body was originally his.”

    Time was passing, years were increasing, a lifetime was not long, and this end of the world had no end in sight. They couldn’t hide forever.

    Luo WuShang laughed, his eyes filled with complex emotions. “Heh, this body was originally his…?”

    This sentence seemed to be asking Xie YunChuan, but without waiting for Xie YunChuan to answer, he continued, “After the new year, it’s only a few days away.”

    It was already a new year, but Luo WuShang was referring to after the Spring Festival. The end of the world had too many twists and turns. If Luo WuShang hadn’t mentioned it, Xie YunChuan would have forgotten the time. It was almost the new year. Unfortunately, judging by Luo WuShang’s appearance, he wouldn’t be able to spend this new year with Shuyou. Xie YunChuan silently calculated the time, “Okay, there are ten days until New Year’s Eve. I’ll wait for you.”

    Luo WuShang scoffed and casually said a place name, “In ten days, I’ll be waiting for you in Muxi City.”

    Xie YunChuan was so shocked that he took a big step forward. “What! You’re leaving?”

    Luo WuShang coldly retorted, “You’ve already absorbed all the crystal cores. What, is this body just an ordinary person?”

    Xie YunChuan eagerly explained, “No, I wasn’t sure before whether absorbing these crystal cores would affect Shuyou, and…”

    Before Xie YunChuan could finish speaking, Luo WuShang interrupted him, “I don’t care what your reasons are, and I don’t need your crystal cores. I don’t even look at your low-level crystal cores.”

    Xie YunChuan was choked by his words, remained silent for a moment, and then said, “Then wait until Shen Ye leaves tomorrow morning before you go. He doesn’t know about your situation.”

    In Shen Ye’s mind, it was absolutely impossible for Luo Shuyou to leave Xie YunChuan, especially in the end of the world.

    Luo WuShang said, “Okay.”

    Watching Luo WuShang’s disappearing figure at the doorway, Xie YunChuan stood alone for a long time. After a long while, he silently added in his heart: Moreover, I need to improve myself as soon as possible to protect Shuyou…

    In the end, it was still because he was too weak.

    The next morning, Shen Ye found Xie YunChuan to say goodbye. Xie YunChuan asked, “What are you going to do next?”

    Shen Ye sighed, “What else can I do? Continue to work for your old mother!”

    Xie YunChuan coldly said, “No one is forcing you.”

    Shen Ye lazily put his arm on Xie YunChuan’s shoulder, “Okay, no one is forcing me. As for what to do, it’s a secret. How can I tell you? Take care, my dear brother, we’ll have a day to meet again.”

    Xie YunChuan shrugged his shoulder to slide off his arm and scolded, “Get lost!”

    “Heartless.” Shen Ye waved his hand, “I’m leaving.”

    Watching Shen Ye follow the other two team members as they walked away, Xie YunChuan murmured, “The end of the world is full of crises, I hope you and I can both wait for the day we meet again.”

    Luo WuShang appeared out of nowhere, following Xie YunChuan’s gaze, “Full of affection, seeing you off for eighteen li, unwilling to part ah, unwilling to part then follow him, no one is tying your feet down.”

    Xie YunChuan deliberately followed his words, “I am unwilling to part, a cold-blooded animal like you wouldn’t understand.”

    Luo WuShang scoffed, “I’m cold-blooded, as I should be. Do you want to ask yourself, how warm is your blood?” He, a zombie, should be cold-blooded, but he hadn’t seen Xie YunChuan, a human, be any more warm-blooded.

    Xie YunChuan looked at him and didn’t speak. Luo WuShang was right, this human’s blood wasn’t much warmer than his, a zombie.
