CH 29

Lunatic Xia You

Ji Qianhuang, this person is a genius, she deserves to be called a phoenix with outstanding talent.

As Zhu Ai’s future mortal enemy, this woman who has been smiling all the time is undoubtedly not someone to be taken lightly. Even if Shen Qingjia can defeat her now, she will definitely won’t get out in one piece.

Besides… She also needs Ji Qianhuang’s precognitive ability.

The only thing is that the Ji Qianyang in her memory seems to be famous in the north, how come this life she is in this southwest land, is it the butterfly effect caused by her rebirth or is there another reason ……

Clenching the longbow in his hand, Shen Qingjia remained calm and followed behind the group of Peace Base, making the way to the northwest.

Along the way to the City C Peace Base… There are many high-level zombies.

Well…it’s time to hunt!

Five days later when they returned to the Peace Base, the ten level 4 experts looked at Shen Qingjia with changed eyes, like they were looking at a human-sized dinosaur!

After facing a horde of corpses in the past few days, they could say that they had almost no chance to strike after the seemingly soft little girl in front of them had drawn her bow and gathered arrows. The little girl that Ji Qianhuang had invited back was a monster in human skin.

They can’t complain that the deputy head personally invited her to join the Peace Base this time. I am afraid that she is not far from level 5 where they have no idea when they will reach it.

The jeep approached a huge city-state with a shallow outline not far away, and a moment later a loud warning bell rang, signalling that this was the base’s domain and outsiders were forbidden to enter. After the code was given and the identity verified, the jeep roared slowly into the apocalyptic city-state on which hundreds of thousands of humans depend for their survival.

Most of the bases are far more solid than they were a few months ago, more than six months after the end of the world. Hundreds of thousands of ordinary, non-powered humans are living carefully in this caged city, putting in the hard physical work every day to build this humble human colony into an impregnable city-state in just over two months, and then using the little food they get to think about how to distribute it so that their families don’t starve to death.

These are the lucky ones, who now at least have life to worry about for themselves and their families. There are many more humans outside the city-state who are now either zombies, zombie rations or about to become zombie rations!

The world is a tough place, and human life is like weeds.

If it wasn’t for the miracle of being reborn, I’m afraid that this is what would have happened to her, even worse than these people.

Shen Qingjia looked at the people flying backwards outside the car window and thought of her past life. Her mind was a mess and she rubbed her temples a little tiredly.

The workers who were doing the wall reinforcement work at the city wall looked at the jeeps approaching the city gate and quickly lowered their heads. Most of the people who can sit in the cars in the base are powerful power users and they are all someone they can’t provoke.

Those who work hard here may be the CEO before the apocalypse, ordinary people, high-ranking officials or commoners but now they have all become the same kind of people—people with no abilities.

The End Times destroyed all order and rules, then reinvented new ones, everything was turned upside down and everything was permitted. Some are stripped of everything, some rise to the heights of the pyramid. Maybe this is all Heaven’s Will, high in the clouds and unknown, disrupting the chessboard on which all beings are placed, leaving all human beings and creatures on a new starting line.

There is no such thing as fairness, no such thing as morality, no such thing as justice, in the End Times, strength is the new standard to measure everything.

After careful checks from the staff of the Scientific Research Department using instruments, the Peace base came up with a strength measurement of Shen Qingjia at the peak level 4 and the possibility of a breakthrough in the near future was not small.

A smiling Ji Qianhuang handed Shen Qingjia a key and an exquisitely crafted badge, “This is proof of your level 4 and the key to your room. You now can choose any position but of course the leader position is not open.”

Shen Qingjia rolled her eyes at this very unreliable looking fellow, took the item and turned around and left. She asked the research staff for directions, but the Peace base was too big and Shen Qingjia was not good with directions. After some time, the eager female staff member simply led her towards the accommodation area after seeing the new level 4 member who still looked confused.

The Peace Base has a population of hundreds of thousands and tens of thousands of ability users. For Peace Base, their main force is undoubtedly the ability user. According to the level of the ability, different levels of houses have been built for the ability users. In fact there are more than 20 level 4 in the base and each of them has their own villa.

Shen Qingjia listened to the staff introduce the surrounding buildings while observing the environment around her. As expected of a place where the top combatants of the base lived, it looks like a painting landscape.

It was quiet and serene, with green forests. Everywhere the mountain breeze passed by was filled with beautiful flowers and colours, as far as the eye could see.

The green hills and trees, the blooming flowers, were exceptionally soothing, and in this post-apocalyptic world, it was like a fairyland.

Suddenly, Shen Qingjia’s ears twitched as she had excellent hearing and heard what sounded like an argument coming from ahead.

“What do you want ……?! I’m also one of the 24 level 4 in the base, the same as you, who are you to punish me?! I just said a few words about you, if you hurt me the captain will not let you off!”

It was a man’s voice, it sounded distressed and his tone was full of fear.

As soon as she turned a corner, she saw two people confronting each other in front of her. No, in fact, that kind of scene cannot be regarded as a confrontation. It can only be described as one sided struggle.

The face of the man on the ground was ashen. A large knife held against his neck and his legs had abnormal twists in the calf bone area, looks like it is fractured by a violent blow of great force. The man was screaming in pain, and although he had a level 4 badge on his chest, which represented the highest level of strength at the moment, he looked like he was going to be pissing his trousers in a few moments.

The one holding the long knife in one hand was a young girl, probably only 14 or 15 years old, very young, not as tall and powerful as the long knife in her hand, but at the moment she was full of cold killing spirit, and when the female staff member who was leading the way for Shen Qingjia saw her, her face immediately turned pale.

Her face was as white as jade, her eyebrows were sharp and her eyes were light in colour. Such beautiful face will looks like a bright peach blossom when she smiles but murderous when she doesn’t. The way she looks at the man under the knife with her head slightly lowered, as if a crescent moon rises from the mountains in the clear night sky, is so beautiful but also feels sharp and cold.

She was a small, petite girl, but now, under her sword, her face was ruthless, revealing her full killing power!

“I can crush a bunch of scum like you with just one finger, would Yang Mu still blame me for something as wasteful as you?”

“Even though I heard you compliment me on how great I must be in bed, I’m still upset, very upset ……” the young girl smiled brightly as the sharp blade sliced through the man’s skin on the ground, blood flowing quickly. “So unhappy that I want to kill you, oh!” [1]

The man shouted in pain and looked in Shen Qingjia’s direction, “That one over there you go and report to the captain, I’m a level 4, I’ll help you in the future!”

He knew all the level 4 experts in the base. Shen Qingjia’s ability to hide her level was not weak and she didn’t put the level 4 badge on her clothes. This man did not see her true strength. In his opinion, the promise of a level 4 expert is enough for an ordinary person to risk his life.

Shen Qingjia gave this dumb ass a look and, without a word, turned around and walked to her villa. As for the female staff member, she was scared to death and was desperate to get out of here. No one here took his words to heart, except for the stupid man. The unknown girl, however, looked up at Shen Qingjia as if she felt something.

The moment their gazes met in mid-air, there seemed to be a clanging sound, and invisible sparks flew everywhere.

“Fuck! Bastard you dare to leave, do you believe it ……”

When the man saw that Shen Qingjia had no intention of getting help for him, he immediately became anxious and opened his mouth to start threatening, however, there was a sharp pain in his throat, his consciousness faded and he could no longer say any obscene words.

The young girl slashed the entire neck of the man on the ground, the man’s head mixed with the blood that shot out of the carotid artery, rolled and rolled to the side, the young girl wiped the blood stained on the knife on the corpse’s clothes in disgust.

“When you report to King Yan, [2] remember to say that you died of stupidity.”

“It’s so unlucky, I didn’t expect to meet this fiend today!” After walking a good distance away, the staff member patted her chest with the look of someone who had just survived a robbery.

Shen Qingjia appropriately showed a bit of doubt that ordinary people should have, “Who? Is that little girl just now ……”

“Ah I forgot you just joined the base.” The staff member cautiously looked around before whispering, “That person’s name is Xia You. She’s simply a homicidal maniac psychopath!”

“Is that so?”

Shen Qingjia smiled up, not a single excess emotion rose or fell on her face, yet her heart had long been stirred up by this name.

The author has something to say:

Xia Yu (ノ=Д=)ノ┻┻ : I am so witty and cool, why do I have psychopath attribute added on me! It’s totally unnecessary!

Shen Qingjia ╮（╯＿╰）╭：All the guys who are wittier and cooler than me and try to defeat the protagonist will be killed without mercy, are you really sure you want to be cool~

Xia Yu ⊙▽⊙ : …… I will be a silent psychopath.
