nHow could my Shanshan die?
nSu Shanshan, you were the one who asked me ifI wanted to marry you. How
ncould you go back on your word? You can’t do this. You can’t die without my
npermission.
n“She won’t die”
n“Won’t die”
n“No..”
nGu Jincheng kept mumbling, his hands digging the ground mechanically. There
nwere deep wounds on his fingers, and he seemed to be out of his mind.
nHis body suddenly stiffened as blood oozed from his ears. He fell to the ground,
nseemingly dead.
nAwoman walked over from afar and was shocked to see those people on the
nground. When she saw Gu Jincheng, her eyes flashed and she whisked himn
naway
nThe seconds ticked by. Gu Zhao was the first to wake up. He recalled everything
nthat had just happened and quickly looked around. There was no sign of. Su
nShanshan and Gu Jincheng. Feeling sorrowful, he woke Gu Ling and Fei Lan up.
nFortunately, the surrounding zombies had been attracted to City M and were
ndestroyed together. Otherwise, they would have been eaten by the zombies.
nThey knew that Su Shanshan was dead, but where had Gu Jincheng gone? The
nfew of them started to look for Gu jincheng’s whereabouts in the surrounding
narea.
nUnderground of City M.
nSu Shanshan lay on the ground. Blood was flowing out from the wound on her
nchest, soaking her entire body. She could barely breathe.
nShe slowly closed her lifeless eyes and dropped her hands on her stomach.
nThe moment she closed her eyes, the black and red rock on her chest glowed
nwith a strange blue light as it sucked her blood.
nEven the cinnabar mole on her heart was dominated by the rock. The stream of
nspiritual spring water flowed out of the mole and was absorbed by the rock, but
na portion of it reached the wound in Su Shanshan’s heart.
nIn the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
nThe wounds on Su Shanshan’s body were almost healed by the spiritual spring
nwater. The rock on her chest had stopped absorbing her blood, leaving only a
nsteady stream of spiritual spring water.
nSu Shanshan’s fingers moved suddenly, and her dead eyes quivered. A second
nlater they opened.
nShe was still a little confused when she woke up. Looking at the block of black
nsoil above her head, she blinked and became aware of the situation.
nShe reached for her chest. The gaping hole there had disappeared without
nleaving any scar.
nCould I have been rebom again? she wondered.
nThe thought had barely crossed her mind when she dismissed it. She stood up.
nThere wasa sound of something falling to the ground. She looked down. It was
nthe extraterrestrial meteorite she had obtained not long ago.
nShe bent down to pick it up and felt a little dizzy, as if she was hungry. She
ntouched her empty stomach, which was rumbling, and took out a bag of bread
nfrom her space. As she ate, she observed her surroundings
nThis place seemed to be a cave, but there was no light around. She was not
nsure. The environment was very humid, as if she was underground.
nUnderground?
nShe remembered that before she lost consciousness, she did land in a crack in
nthe ground. She had been swallowed up with City M and had recovered from
nher wounds for some reason. That was why she did not die.
nShe was mulling over her current situation when she felt as if she had stepped
non something. The ground here was uneven, and every step she took would
ncause the ground to creak. She used her foot to trace the thing on the ground. It
nhard and long object. It felt thin. What is it? she wondered.
nShe moved her feet and felt around with her hands as she walked forward. The
nsurrounding stone walls were densely covered with plants that seemed like
nvines. She felt something smooth and sticky under her hand. She placed her
nhand under her nose and sniffed. There was a pungent smell.
nAt that moment, she stepped on something. It was round. This feeling, this
nhardness, this shape-Su Shanshan instantly understood what it was. She
nturned pale and recoiled in horror. This ground was filled with bones. What she
nhad just stepped on was a human skull.
nThe realization made her scalp tingle. This cave was actually formed by bones
nstacked together. She did not dare to walk around casually, but this place was
ndark, and she could not find an exit even if she wanted to.
