In a frigid apocalypse, she fed her boyfriend until he became a zombie king.

Wenren Lei buried her face in Fu Yan's arms and whispered, "What is he going to do?"

Fu Yan led him at full speed towards the foot of the mountain: "Self-destruct ability, an S-level mental ability user's self-destruction, the energy wave is enough to shatter the crystal core hidden deep in the mountain."

"They can't..." Wenren Lei swallowed her words halfway through.

He was trying to say, couldn't they atone for their sins by living?

He quickly changed his mind and dismissed the idea. Kong Weiyan wouldn't let him off the hook, nor would he let Kong Weian off the hook.

Fu Yan silently rubbed his chin against the top of Leilei's head: "Leilei, they are very happy now."

Wenren asked tearfully, "Did you hear that?"

Fu Yan said, "I heard it, they're singing a nursery rhyme."

Wenren nestled back into Fu Yan's arms with tears in her eyes: "Okay."

A surge of energy swept over.

Fu Yan immediately used his shielding ability to protect Wenren Lei.

Wenren Lei's mind went blank for a moment, and when she looked up, she found that the earthquake in the mountains had stopped.

No more puppets emerged from the tree trunks, and the birch trees covering the mountain lost all their leaves in an instant, turning into withered trees in the snow and ice.

This is what normal trees should look like in extremely cold environments.

Wenren Lei glanced back at the giant standing there and gave up the idea of ​​going back to collect their corpses.

The two brothers are sleeping well now, so there's no need to disturb them.

Wenren Lei suddenly remembered what Kong Weiyan had said when he got up early on their first morning at the manor—"He actually fell asleep."

Before Fu Yan used his paralyzing ability to intervene in Kong Weiyan's life, no student in the manor had ever been able to wake up in the middle of the night. Was he able to consistently release his ability because he had never slept?

Fu Yan also glanced back briefly at the lifeless giant. Before leaving, Kong Weiyan said to him: Thank you for letting me sleep well for a few days.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Wenren Lei and Fu Yan immediately joined the group to eliminate the puppet instructors.

The endless stream of puppets in the mountains has stopped, and the clearing operation was completed in half a day.

Wenren Lei wiped the sweat from her brow and spotted that spotless figure in the crowd at a glance.

Everyone was covered in dust and dirt after the battle, but Wenren Yu, who had clearly killed quite a few puppets, was completely clean.

Wenren Lei walked over with her head down: "Brother."

Wenren Yu was arranging for her subordinates to evacuate to the resettlement point when she turned to look at Wenren Lei and asked, "Are you unhappy?"

"You're busy." Wenren Lei turned and left.

"Gu Zhengming." Wenren Yu called softly, and Gu Zhengming immediately came over to take over Wenren Yu's work.

Wenren Yu watched Wenren Lei's annoyed figure, then chased after her, wiped the dust off her face, and scooped her up on his back: "What's wrong?"

Wenren Lei sniffed as she leaned against his back: "You promised me you'd stay in District 11."

Wenren Yu tilted her head and chuckled lightly: "I didn't use any special abilities just now."

"That won't do either." Wenren Lei buried her face in his back.

"Then I apologize to you."

"You always do this, just brushing me off with an apology."

Wenren Yu thought for a moment and then earnestly promised, "Then I promise you, once this matter is resolved, I will stay in District 11 and never run around again."

Wenren Lei pursed her lips: "Wenren Yu, did you come out because you were worried about me?"

"This manor is so dangerous, of course I'm worried about you." Wenren Yu weighed him in her hand. "However, the main reason I came out this time is for the Alliance to clear out District 6, and the base commanders of all the major bases have to be present."

"Why are you clearing out District 6? Weren't you supposed to be eliminating the Legion?"

Wenren Yu sighed softly: "The headquarters of the Crystal Core Ability User Legion is in District 6. Apart from the combat personnel, even the residents there are Crystal Core Ability Users."

Wenren Lei did not feel the relief that comes with knowing the truth. On the contrary, he felt heavy-hearted, firstly for Liao Xingwei, and secondly for the ordinary residents who had been unknowingly transformed into crystal core ability users.

No one can comprehend the struggles of these ordinary residents, from resistance to succumbing to despair.

"Should we kill everyone?" Wenren Lei asked.

This question is too emotional. Wenren Yu thought for a moment before saying, "Kill those who resist."

Wenren Lei, arms hanging limply, swayed back and forth with Wenren Yu's steps: "Whatever, I'm so tired."

"Go to sleep, I'll carry you on my back."

Wenren Lei woke up to a series of soft sobs.

He opened his eyes and found himself still on Wenren Yu's back, with Wanzi curled up on Wenren Yu's shoulder, sleeping against his cheek.

The outdoor lights at the resettlement camp were on, and Wenren Yu was carrying him on her back as she slowly inspected the camp.

"You really carried it on your back?" Wenren Lei hugged Wanzi into her arms and gently patted Wenren Yu's shoulder.

Wenren Yu turned her head to look at him: "Did you sleep well?"

Wenren Lei quickly jumped off his back: "Aren't you tired?"

Wenren Yu ruffled his hair: "You're not heavy."

Fu Yan had already told Wenren Yu about the Kong Weiyan brothers, and he finally understood where Wenren Lei's depression came from.

So let alone sleeping with Wenren Lei on your back, you could even run all day with him on your back.

The whimpering continued, and even grew louder.

Wenren Lei spun around on the spot: "What was that sound?"

Wenren Yu gestured with her chin towards a makeshift tent: "The baby rescued from the manor."

Wenrenlei suddenly realized: "This is the time for them to replenish their blood."

"These trainees are also enduring it. If we don't give them that glass of red wine, it might cause unrest," Wenren Yu said worriedly.

Wenren Lei, whose throat was slightly parched by Fu Yan, felt an unbearable thirst, not to mention the red wine that the students were drinking, which was laced with addictive ingredients.

He said, "Let's go to the estate and get some red wine to cure their addiction before they undergo purification."

"Okay, this is the only solution for now."

Wenren Lei said, "Brother, all the purification ability users in the base need to contribute this time. After they purify these trainees for the first time, they should be handed over to Brother Yan for deep purification. Otherwise, I'm afraid Brother Yan's body won't be able to handle it."

Wenren Yu looked at Wenren Lei with deep satisfaction, realizing he was becoming more and more like a captain. He said, "Okay, I've got it all figured out."

"1000." A childish voice rang out.

Wenren Lei looked down and saw 886.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he asked, "Where's your mother?"

886 took out a metal tag from his pocket, which was engraved with 0885: "Mom's here."

Wenren Lei fell silent. This metal badge was a mark of the dark time the student spent in the manor.

But now, it has become the only memory of loved ones that many people can keep.

"The adults put all the relics from the brewery at the claim area." 886's eyes reddened. "I couldn't find Dad's tag. Was it destroyed?"

Wenren Lei's throat was dry, and she couldn't utter a single word.
