When Qin Shuang found Yin Mei's body, he refused to come out of his room for months. Only when they held her funeral did he come out for the first time to attend.
All the kids were sad, some sobbing, some not. But they all got over it in the end. Death was all too common in the apocalypse, and all of them here had experienced the loss of their loved ones before.
The world moved on.
After many years, Ming Wei completed both the cure and the replacement evolution materials. The name of zombies were changed to "mutants", and the world began to repair itself and coexist with the mutants.
Ming Wei was lauded in history books as the humanity's savior, along with the Dark Saint and Ming Yu, who had both made contributions toward completing the cure. He died at the ripe age of 170 years old, lamented by everyone in the entire world. But till the end, he had never taken a wife and had died without leaving behind any descendants.
As for Lu Mei, her position in history was highly debated.
In classrooms, she was a major historical figure, but what people thought of her was extremely controversial and she was the topic of many essays and tests.
They called her the "Zombie Queen".
She had contributed to the development of the cure, she was the first to attempt coexistence with mutants, and she had gathered young orphaned children in a world where children had been abandoned as "burdens". Those children had gone on to form the world's strongest special forces unit, the Black Cross Brigade.
But, she had also invaded one of humanity's strongest bases, massacred B City's army almost single handedly, and had cooperated with mutants to kill other humans.
In the end, many people said that what she contributed toward humanity was more than the harm that she had caused to humans. After all, during the apocalypse, things like killing others had become perfectly normal. There was no one who was completely innocent of crimes during that time.
Many movies were made, telling her story.
It was often theorized that the Zombie Queen's partner, who controlled the zombies, the so called "zombie emperor", had formerly been lovers with Lu Mei when he was still human. Because of this, Lu Mei, after encountering him again, had made the decision to attempt to unite the world and cooperate with zombies. In the end, the zombie emperor was thought to have died during the battle between H City and B City, which was the cause of Lu Mei's massacre of the B City army.
This love story drew many hot tears and emotions around the world and they sympathized with Lu Mei. Her lover had become a zombie, but after she had finally got together with him again, he had actually been killed by the B City army!
But, this was all merely speculation based on records of the original founding members of the Black Cross Brigade and prominent Ri family, and it was unknown whether it was true or not.
In the white space, Yin Mei was lying on the ground with a blank expression.
"Host, please choose a skill. Since host has succeeded in the mission, you may choose between three random worlds to enter." System 097 spoke.
When it showed her the skill options, there was only Cleaning and Etiquette. It seemed that she had been unable to unlock any new skills yet. In the end, she decided on cleaning. After experiencing such a dirty apocalypse, she wanted the ability to clean anyplace, anywhere.
Then it showed her the three options for her next world.
It was only a title with the briefest of summaries.
Campus Romance: A romance story between kids attending a school for the rich and talented.
Vampire Fantasy: An epic romance between a vampire and a vampire hunter spanning over a thousand years.
Death Game: People wake up in a death game, required to kill and compete with each other and survive until the end to obtain their prize.
Yin Mei glanced at them, and immediately chose campus romance. She was already so, so tired. At least in a campus romance, she would be able to rest a little, right?
