I got an S-level talent in the apocalypse, and I will lead Blue Star to rise

Chapter 312 Ending
What do you mean?
Xiao Qichen immediately sent a message, "Where are you? I'm coming to find you."

He didn't have time to think too much, seeing that Ning Yun hadn't replied to his message.

Let's just call it a video call.

Fortunately, Ning Yun accepted this time.

But her condition was clearly not right.

"what happened?"

The first time, it was Xiao Qichen who broke the silence.

But he soon realized that something seemed to be missing from Ning Yun's side.

Ning Yun's face was covered in tears. "Xiao Bai, it's dead."

Her voice trembled slightly, "Xiaobai died protecting me."

Things happened so fast that she didn't even have time to react.

Xiao Qichen didn't know how to comfort her, so he just kept the video call with her until dawn.

In the end, Ning Yun hung up first.

But she left behind one sentence: "Xiao Qichen, are we all going to die?"

He doesn't know the answer.

Previously, he had no feelings about death.

Therefore, he was fearless and would always go to the most dangerous places to fight the most powerful monsters.

He even thought that it wouldn't be bad to die in battle like this.

Ironically, this only made him stronger, and he has lived to this day.

How long has this game been running?
Xiao Qichen couldn't remember anymore.

But suddenly he didn't want to die anymore; at the very least, he couldn't die before Ning Yun.

In the following days, Xiao Qichen took the initiative to message Ning Yun to check on her condition.

Ning Yun was down for several days before she slowly recovered.

But she has also changed a lot; she no longer talks as much, and only gives routine greetings every day.

It's as if I've completely lost faith in this game.

For the first time, Xiao Qichen took the initiative to suggest, "How about we run a dungeon together?"

In the game, even the closest friends won't go into dungeons together.

This is a lesson learned from the past.

Countless people have lost their lives because of this.

Trust between people has almost dropped to zero.

But Ning Yun agreed.

When they appeared in the instance, it was Ning Yun who took the initiative to come over.

"Xiao Qichen, I never imagined you'd grow up to be so handsome."

Xiao Qichen didn't know how to respond to that.

"Haha, just kidding. This is my first time, no, my second time, running a dungeon with someone."

Ning Yun isn't very good at making friends; she's only ever done dungeon runs with other people once.

However, that incident left a less than good impression on her.

Later, she refused anyone who came to her.

It wasn't until Xiao Qichen brought it up this time that Ning Yun felt that, given his personality, he must have thought about it for a long time before bringing it up, which is why she didn't refuse.

If she really fell for it, then she's just unlucky.

This was also the first time Xiao Qichen had seen Ning Yun as an adult, and he had only one thought in his mind.

"you lost weight."

When Ning Yun was little, her face was round and chubby, but she was very cute.

But now, her face is noticeably sunken, which shows that she hasn't been doing well lately.

Ning Yun didn't mind. "It's normal. I've heard of people who have lost 100 pounds since they started playing games. It's nothing to me."

Not having enough to eat or wear, living in constant fear and unable to sleep well—no wonder they lose weight.

"Let me see, this dungeon is pretty easy."

For Xiao Qichen, the difficulty of the two-player dungeon was basically no challenge at all.

But this time he made very few moves, wanting to spend more time with Ning Yun.

The feeling of chatting face-to-face is completely different. They talked a lot, but Ning Yun did most of the talking.

He talked about life after his parents and grandfather passed away, and his experiences after entering the game.

She has met kind people, but she has also encountered many people with ulterior motives.

At first, she added a few friends.

But as one profile picture after another went black, she shut herself off.

Some people were perfectly fine the day before, dreaming about eating barbecue and hot pot when they returned to Earth after the game ended!

But the next day, her profile picture turned completely black.

"You know, there was a time when I found myself unable to speak."

"That's right, I can type and chat normally with people, but I can't say a single word in real life."

She didn't even know if she was depressed.

"Fortunately, I met you and Xiaobai. I've found that I seem to be slowly becoming normal again."

But she never imagined that Xiaobai would leave her so soon.

"I'm wondering, who's next to die—you or me?"

Ning Yun looked into the distance, but there was nothing in her eyes.

"You won't die," Xiao Qichen whispered, as if making some kind of promise.

Ning Yun turned around and looked at him.

"If possible, I hope you can survive to the end, until the day the game ends."

Xiao Qichen still remembers Ning Yun's expression at the time, as if she had made up her mind.

The survival game in the previous life was even more difficult. After several natural disasters, the number of players on Earth was reduced to only tens of millions.

Very few people die directly from natural disasters.

Some died at the hands of monsters, while others died at the hands of their own people.

Until most people were unwilling to contact their compatriots, instead hiding themselves and not wanting to be discovered.

It's like a dark forest; they not only have to face the test of survival, but also have to evade attacks from their own kind.

Until a new natural disaster struck, a mixture of calamities including storms, floods, and hail.

Everyone who witnessed this horrific scene felt they had nowhere to escape.

Ning Yun hid in the house and sent a message to Xiao Qichen.

"My house is about to collapse."

Even a house rated 8 on the Richter scale couldn't withstand such a horrific disaster.

Xiao Qichen sent her a teleportation item, asking her to come to his house.

He didn't say anything, but he believed that Ning Yun would believe him.

Sure enough, Ning Yun used that prop, and her backpack was stuffed full.

As soon as she teleported to Xiao Qichen's house, she heard a system notification that her house had collapsed and she had become a homeless person.

Xiao Qichen gave the entire second floor to Ning Yun, so that she could stay there with peace of mind.

His house stood firm, protected by a protective shield, even in the midst of the raging storm.

Unfortunately, there's only one of these props.

In the past, natural disasters only lasted for a week or half a month.

But this time the situation is different; it has been a whole month and there is no sign of it stopping.

Only a few hundred people survived.

At first, Xiao Qichen and Ning Yun would sit together and chat, not about natural disasters, but about life on Earth.

But as the days went by, with no end in sight to the natural disaster, both of them felt anxious.

Until one day, the protective shield broke, and their house was exposed to the natural disaster.

Just when they were about to be swallowed by the flood

Xiao Qichen paused at this point.

He didn't say how it ended.

Ning Yun interrupted, "It's just a story, let's stop here."

She knew, of course, that this was no ordinary story.

But she didn't want to see Xiao Qichen dwell on his memories. "They were unfortunate, but we still have a chance."
