Apocalypse: The White Moonlight Became a Possessive Mad Dog
Chapter 118 Old Mountain Valley
Su Han clearly remembered that the system had never mentioned anything about his past life in its words to him.
It kept repeating those three words from the original text.
After a long silence, the system spoke: "Since Shen Chengyin has admitted to being reborn, then there's not much difference between the original story and his previous life, right?"
Su Han blinked, barely accepting the system's explanation.
"From now on, you should continue using the original text."
The word "past life" always made him feel uneasy, as if there was an indescribable sense of disconnect between him and the world before him.
The system quickly agreed, dared not say another word, and disappeared without a trace.

After saying goodbye to everyone, the two set off for the mountain village without stopping.
Only Shen Chengyin knew the exact location of the village, so he took on the role of driver. Su Han was happy to have some free time, only responsible for sitting in the car, enjoying the scenery, eating and drinking, and occasionally chatting with the system.
After traveling for several days, we arrived at the foot of the continuous mountains, where we had no choice but to hike over several mountains.
In such deep forests, zombies are not common; what poses a greater threat are the wild animals that have become more ferocious due to drastic environmental changes.
As Su Han climbed the mountain, she cautiously observed her surroundings.
The vegetation here is lush and the terrain is complex. After the apocalypse, the climate became unpredictable, and the plants underwent brutal selection and mutation in a short period of time.
Those that could adapt grew wildly, almost ferociously. Those that couldn't survive died quickly, becoming withered branches and fallen leaves.
The mountain is half barren and half green, which looks eerie.
The two traversed the mountains, with Shen Chengyin leading the way and Su Han following closely behind.
There were indeed some animal sounds along the way, but they all only lingered nearby for a while before leaving without exception.
As evening approached, the two stopped to rest.
The tent was pitched on slightly higher ground, and then dense vines rose up from all around the tent, each one as thick as a person's embrace, weaving a net-like shape to cover the campsite.
Su Han sighed inwardly. Even wild beasts wouldn't be able to get rid of these vines in a short time. In the apocalypse, superpowers are still much more useful.
Shen Chengyin placed a lamp in the center of the camp, crawled into the tent, patted the spot next to the double sleeping bag, and stared intently at Su Han.
Su Han nimbly crawled into her sleeping bag, and the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
After trekking for four days and crossing two mountains, they arrived at the foot of a mountain somewhere in the mountains. Thanks to Shen Chengyin's water-based superpower, the two of them were still clean and spotless after crawling and fighting in the deep mountains for so long.
When they reached a mountain spring, Shen Chengyin suddenly stopped.
Su Han guessed that this was probably the place Shen Chengyin had stayed in his previous life, and suggested, "What if we run into the villagers? Won't they believe us? Let's get ourselves a little dirty."
Who would believe that two people who got lost in the mountains could still be so dignified?
Shen Chengyin nodded, and the two of them smeared the mud from the riverbank on their bodies and then got some chopped leaves on them.
As Su Han had guessed, they soon encountered a young man carrying a basket as they followed the river upstream.
The man looked to be in his early twenties, tanned dark, and muscular.
The young man was filling a plastic bucket with water, his back basket overflowing with dry branches and broken wood. Upon seeing Su Han and her companion, he first gave them a wary look before calling out from a distance:
"What do you two do for a living?"
He spoke with a slight village accent, which sounded very awkward.
"We came to the mountains to seek refuge, but we got lost."
Surrounded by mountains, it's easy for unfamiliar people to get lost and wander around, unable to find their way out. Giving them directions is also difficult.
The young man thought for a moment, and seeing that the two men weren't carrying any weapons, asked, "Are you two injured?"
Su Han understood what he meant.
"Absolutely not. We've been trapped in the mountains for almost half a month. If we were injured, we would have died long ago."
The young man nodded, agreeing that it made sense.
"Then come back with me and have something to eat first."
As the original text says, the villagers in the mountains are simple and honest, still adhering to the living habits of humans before the apocalypse, and will spare no effort to help their fellow human beings.
Su Han and Shen Chengyin followed the young man back to the village. The so-called mountain village was hidden in a valley near the top of the mountain, and what came into view was a thick and neat log wall.
The wood was solid hemlock, as thick as a person's waist, deeply embedded in the earth, interlocked so tightly that there were almost no gaps between them.
The wall wasn't high, and there was a lookout tower with a rain shelter on top of it at the village entrance. A figure stood on the lookout tower, and immediately looked over warily upon seeing them.
Su Han surveyed the village's protective measures from afar. He could easily scale the wall by himself, so it didn't seem to pose much of a threat.
As she got closer, Su Han realized that she had misjudged the situation.
The cracks in the wall were filled with clay specially mixed with broken pottery shards, making it extremely slippery. Upon closer inspection, it was covered in small splinters, making it virtually impossible for someone to climb over it barehanded.
"Brother Shoushan, who are these two people?"
The girl who had just been on guard duty on the lookout tower nimbly climbed down, holding a crudely made long spear in her hand, pointing it at the young man.
"They've gotten lost in the mountains. We'll help them if we can, and at worst we'll just give them a meal and then they can leave." The young man waved his hand. "Didn't Uncle Mancang pick someone up a while ago?"
Upon seeing this, Su Han immediately threw away the knives in her hands. Shen Chengyin also took out his weapon and placed it on the ground.
"We meant no harm, we just haven't had a meal for days..."
Lin Qingya stared at Su Han, whose face was covered in mud dug from the river, making him look dirty. She couldn't tell if he had really been starving for days, so she could only nod helplessly.
"Then let them in. The village chief said we should save as many as we can."
The young man known as the mountain guardian led Su Han and Shen Chengyin into the village.
Shen Chengyin and Su Han exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.
His psychic abilities could only detect nearby areas; at least within that range, there were no abnormalities.
Su Han chased after him and asked Shou Shan:
"Did you find any other people in your village? They might be our companions; we got separated halfway up the mountain."
According to Tang Qiao, the Dawn Base must have found this village. But judging from the current situation, there are no other outsiders in the village besides the person that Uncle Mancang took in.
Wang Shoushan nodded. "A few days ago, a young man got lost and sought refuge in the village. He's staying here now. I'll take you to meet him in a bit."
Wang Shoushan led the two of them to wash off the mud, and then they went home for dinner.
Wang Shoushan built his own house and became independent after he came of age. He didn't get married and lived alone.
Within half an hour, the whole village knew that Wang Shoushan's family had found two very handsome young men, and a large crowd gathered at Wang Shoushan's door.
"Oh my, I saw it through the crack in the door. It's really good-looking. The tall one with broad shoulders and a thick waist looks strong and capable."
"That shorter one is fair-skinned and cute, I wish he were my son."
"I don't know if he has a boyfriend yet, I haven't found one for my daughter."
"Sigh, the world outside is in chaos. Just being alive is a blessing. Who has the mind to talk about love?"
"How come Wang Shoushan is so lucky to have picked up two such handsome men?"
Wang Shoushan, who was originally sitting at the table eating, couldn't stand the grumbling coming from the doorway any longer. He slammed his chopsticks on the table, cursed, and stormed out.
"What are you all chewing on here for! People who have fled here are starving, and you're all watching like it's a show, peeking through the door! Second Aunt, your daughter is only fifteen, what kind of marriage is she planning? And Granny Zhang—last time Uncle Mancang brought someone back, you scolded him for letting a wolf into the house, and today you're praising my good luck?"
He put his hands on his hips, pointed at the huge crowd, and spat as he spoke:
"If you keep loitering around here, your family will be assigned all the patrol shifts tonight!"
The crowd dispersed amidst laughter and chatter, leaving only an old man walking the slowest, limping and muttering, "The mountain guard's kid's got his comeuppance..."
Wang Shoushan turned his head and spat, "Third Master, hurry up! You'll get scolded if you're slow!"
While Wang Shoushan was cursing, Su Han quickly poured the rice from her bowl into Shen Chengyin's bowl.
He had already eaten and drunk his fill along the way, so no matter how much he pretended to be hungry, he couldn't eat that much.
Anyway, Shen Chengyin has spatial abilities, so give them all to him and let him figure out a way.
Shen Chengyin paused, then cast a resentful glance over. Su Han pretended to be blind, looking left and right but refusing to look at Shen Chengyin.
When Wang Shoushan returned after scolding someone, he saw that Su Han's bowl was empty and felt a pang of heartache.
"Look how hungry you are! You must have suffered a lot. Don't worry, you'll never lack food and drink here."
Before Su Han could refuse, Wang Shoushan raised his hand and filled Su Han's bowl to the brim again.
Suhan:…………
Is he destined to die today?
You could tell that Wang Shoushan was really worried that the two of them would starve, so he added rice spoonful by spoonful. In the end, Su Han was so full that she looked like a fish floating belly up and couldn't get out of bed.
Shen Chengyin remained calm as he sat on the bed and massaged Su Han's stomach.
"You eat more than me, how come you're not full?" Su Han said, annoyed and embarrassed.
"I've put it away," Shen Chengyin said truthfully. "I can take it out if you want to eat it."
Su Han waved her hand, "No, I feel like throwing up."
How absurd, it's so suffocating in the apocalypse.
Shen Chengyin curled his lips into a smile.
"What Wang Shoushan said is true. There are no other outsiders in the village besides that person."
"Tang Qiao knew the location of this place long ago, and we can confirm that we were not being followed, so they must have arrived long ago. There should have been a lot of noise."
Su Han firmly stated.
There must be people they haven't discovered lurking in the shadows.
After a satisfying meal, the three men simply exchanged names with Wang Shoushan.
They arrived at the village in the morning, and Wang Shoushan settled them in his home before going out to work. They didn't return until the afternoon.
When he returned, Wang Shoushan was holding a thin piece of paper in his hand.
"Ah Han, I asked when I passed by. The person Uncle Mancang picked up said he wasn't one of your teammates. He even handed me a photo, saying that the person he'd seen before should be one of your teammates."
Su Han, caught off guard, took the photo.
Shen Chengyin's expression changed drastically the moment he saw the photo.
