Su Han slowly opened her eyes. Sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains; it was past noon.

I slept so soundly that I felt lazy to the core.

In the post-apocalyptic world, such restful sleep is rare.

He reached out and touched the bed next to him. Shen Chengyin was sleeping beside him. He pulled him into his arms.

This position kept them pressed tightly together, their body heat passing through the thin fabric, making it hard for them not to sleep soundly.

"Shen Chengyin." Su Han closed her eyes and reached out to touch Shen Chengyin's face.

The other person was breathing evenly and did not react.

"...Shen Chengyin?" Su Han's hand reached upwards, her fingertips sliding from the other's chin to his ear.

He gently pinched the other man's earlobe, but the man remained fast asleep, not even blinking.

Su Han realized something was wrong and sat up abruptly from Shen Chengyin's arms.

"Shen Chengyin! Wake up!"

This man is usually very alert and will wake up at the slightest noise, so why hasn't he reacted today?

Su Han swayed Shen Chengyin's shoulders a couple of times, and the system's weary reminder came through her ears:

He was faking it.

Before he could finish speaking, an arm suddenly wrapped around Su Han's waist and pulled him heavily back onto the bed.

A warm kiss silenced all his words.

"woke up."

Shen Cheng stared at Su Han's lips with satisfaction, wanting to kiss her again, but Su Han slapped him across the face.

With fingers spread out and palm pressed against the nose, he couldn't control his strength and it looked painful.

"If you're so good at pretending, why don't you stop?"

Su Han snorted and rolled out of bed.

Shen Chengyin sat up, covering his face, his palm glowing. The pain was so intense that he even had to use his life-saving abilities.

Su Han ignored him, quickly changed her clothes, and planned to go out to check on the situation at the base.

Before he could even leave the house, Shen Chengyin pulled him back.

"etc."

Shen Chengyin looked serious.

A gentle force slowly spread along the skin of the two people who were touching, like warm water seeping into their bodies.

Although Su Han didn't understand, she still stood quietly.

Ten minutes later, the force gradually subsided. Shen Chengyin released Su Han and whispered his congratulations, "You won't need to take medicine anymore."

"...What medicine?" Su Han was a little confused.

"Antidote."

Shen Chengyin released his grip, took out a white medicine bottle from his pocket, poured out the last few pills, and a flame rose from his fingertips, burning them to ashes.

A poison that penetrates to the bone will soak a person through once ingested, leaving them helpless before their superpowers are broken through.

Fortunately, they never separated.

Su Han's eyes lit up. He remembered Shen Chengyin saying that only those whose life abilities reached the level of the God-like could cure this poison.

"You've leveled up?"

He excitedly pinched Shen Chengyin's arm, forearm, waist, and abs...

Shen Chengyin pressed down on his mischievous hand. "Yes."

"The 'worship of gods' level is simply related to the word 'god,' and it's the only level distinction that can be seen from the outside," the system explained.

[Take Shen Chengyin for example. When he uses his superpowers, you can clearly see golden light in his eyes.]

Su Han nodded. "Then the range of superpowers should be expanded, right? It'll be a good opportunity to help the base screen for advanced zombies."

The two went out and ran into Jiang Yurou, who looked exhausted, at a road intersection not far away.

Behind Jiang Yurou were several other superhumans chained up. They were the same people who had let the high-level zombies in at the base entrance.

They all looked dejected, not daring to look up at Su Han.

"These idiots have killed so many people again." Jiang Yurou rubbed her temples. "If the base weren't short-handed, they would have been killed long ago. Let's send them to patrol the outer perimeter first, and see how long they can live."

Going out to patrol the outer perimeter is practically suicide, given the frequent appearances of advanced zombies these days.

But at least this left a sliver of possibility for redemption through meritorious service, which could be considered a small margin within Jiang Yurou's forceful methods.

After briefly recounting the news of the theft of weapons from General Su Han's factory and the high-strength concrete, Jiang Yurou's already unpleasant expression turned even more sour.

"Those bastards from Dawn Base actually took advantage of the situation and sneaked in. I knew they weren't good people."

Jiang Yurou said angrily, "There weren't many weapons left, so I didn't arrange for anyone to watch them. I didn't expect them to be snatched away by a dog."

Su Han didn't say much. He wasn't worried; given Jiang Yurou's vengeful nature, she would get her revenge tenfold or a hundredfold from the Dawn Base in the future.

It's just a matter of time.

After explaining the base's defense arrangements, Jiang Yurou couldn't hold on any longer, waved her hand, and went back to sleep.

Shen Chengyin placed the concrete from the space into the warehouse, and the two slowly inspected the area along the main road.

Order has been restored to the base, with the wounded concentrated in the medical area and patrols increasing their shifts. At least within Shen Chengyin's ability range, no high-level zombies have been detected.

After going around in circles, they returned to the intersection they had just been at.

Just then, another group of people rushed over, led by Li Tiangan.

Li Tianqian's expression was solemn. After the team guarding the goal made a mistake, Jiang Yurou temporarily handed over the goalkeeping task to him.

Where is Jiang Yurou?

"She went to rest. What happened?" Su Han asked.

"The people from Dawn Base are here again." Li Tiangan frowned.

"Kill him." Shen Chengyin uttered two cold words.

Su Han stared at Li Tiangan, puzzled, waiting for him to continue.

Li Tiangan isn't stupid. They've already gone to such extremes before, with everyone from the Dawn Base being chopped into mincemeat. Li Tiangan should know what the right thing to do is to act accordingly.

"It's strange... Ah Han." Li Tiangan said slowly, his face full of resentment, "Tang Qiao is among them, and he's still alive."

They clearly witnessed Tang Qiao being pierced by Shen Chengyin's vines at the military factory, but now he's standing alive outside the city gate.

If Tang Qiao hadn't used his lightning-based superpower right in front of him, even he wouldn't have believed it.

"Tang Qiao said they've discovered a real Shangri-La. Since the Fuxing Base isn't open, they're going to go check it out."

Li Tiangan hesitated whether to tell Su Han about the threatening tone Tang Qiao used when he said those words.

No one knew what Peach Blossom Spring was, so Li Tiangan thought of asking Jiang Yurou.

Upon hearing the words "Peach Blossom Spring," Su Han's expression instantly turned cold.
