All the women in the apocalypse are mine

The spiders had only completed half of their ferocious pounce when their stomachs suddenly began to rumble and churn.

Then, the terrifying spider with a fierce expression covered its belly with the spider legs that grew from its abdomen, and collapsed to the ground with its face contorted.

My strange knowledge has increased...

A strange smile appeared on Ye Xingluo's face... Could this be considered an unexpected success?

Even though the newly mutated spider suddenly faltered, Ye Xingluo still came to Anna without hesitation, took out the axe tucked behind her back, and chopped directly at the spider's neck.

The saying goes, "Take advantage of its weakened state and kill it when it's done for." If you don't act now, when will you?

However... something that Ye Xinglu had anticipated happened.

Anna suddenly grabbed Ye Xinglu's clothes. Although her strength was negligible in front of Ye Xinglu, Ye Xinglu stopped abruptly and turned to look at Anna, who looked pained.

Then, just as a pleading look appeared on Anna's face, Night Star smiled gently.

"Hey!"

With a swift movement, the axe fell, and the bloodied head rolled to Anna's feet.

Anna's eyes widened in shock as she stared in horror at the man's face, a face she recognized all too well.

Just a few minutes ago, she had spoken to this boy in front of her.

The reason why spiders are called spiders is because although their bodies have become spider-like structures, they still retain their human faces.

However, this change doesn't feel welcoming; instead, it evokes a chilling and eerie feeling that runs deep in one's bones.

If a normal human were to encounter this creature in real life, they would probably be terrified.

For Anna, the sight of her former students transformed into human heads rolling on the ground undoubtedly dealt a severe blow to her already sensitive heart.

Anna, who had been forced to watch helplessly as those around her were brutally killed by Void creatures since the beginning of the apocalypse, was filled with a deep sense of oppression. She felt a profound guilt for being able to witness this cruel scene, but as an ordinary person, there was nothing she could do but pray in her heart.

Finally... she found something she could do: take care of these sick students and soothe their wounded hearts. This was one of the few things that made her happy in the apocalypse.

But... seeing the bloodied heads of the students she had cared for, Anna's world suddenly turned gloomy.

She knew perfectly well in her heart that... they had become monsters, monsters that would threaten the lives of others if they weren't killed.

But looking at that familiar face, Anna couldn't accept this cruel reality.

There must be... there must be other ways...

Anna thought this subconsciously.

So... she subconsciously chose to stop Ye Xingluo.

However, having anticipated this outcome, Ye Xingluo feigned an attack, and just as a glimmer of hope began to appear in Anna's heart, he ruthlessly struck her down.

No one knows... what kind of trauma that moment truly inflicted on Anna...

I estimate she's only a hair's breadth away from a complete breakdown.

...

Chapter 109 The murderer is actually you, Anna!

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Anna... these mutated creatures have to be killed..." Ye Xingluo said softly, looking at Ms. Anna's lifeless eyes, "Otherwise... more innocent people will be killed by them."

After Ye Xinglu finished speaking, he raised his knife and beheaded the monster that had mutated into a spider in front of Anna once again.

Meanwhile, a commotion broke out outside.

It's clear that among the survivors from the North District that Ye Xingluo rescued, there were also people who had been parasitized, but with Xu tide outside, they should be dealt with quickly.

Ye Xinglu looked around at the remaining students, who were also in a daze, completely bewildered as to why they had changed so drastically from being perfectly fine just moments before.

After a moment's thought, Ye Xinglu put away his axe.

Although they are all parasites of the Void Spider larvae, the timing of their mutations varies due to the different times they were infected... However, according to Nightfall's estimate, their mutations should occur soon.

Let's kill them one by one after they mutate... or, I'll talk to Aunt Xu tide later and see what choice she makes.

After all, it's quite troublesome to deal with them once they mutate, so it's easier to eliminate them before they mutate.

It's better to conduct large-scale purges like this after everyone has consulted before taking action.

The reason he has allowed these parasites to survive until now is for this reason: only by witnessing the harm caused by these infected people can others truly take it seriously.

If he had eliminated the threat beforehand, he would only have been branded as a traitor for slaughtering his own kind.

"Why...?"

Anna suddenly raised her pale face, her body looking as if she were about to collapse.

"Because... Teacher Anna is just too weak."

Night Star turned around and told Anna without any attempt to hide the fact that she was in this predicament.

"Weak...weak?"

Anna spoke in a trembling voice, slowly raising her head, her eyes dim and lifeless.

“That’s right, in the apocalypse… weakness can’t change anything, and those without power can’t do anything.” Ye Xinglu glanced at the bloodied head at Anna’s feet. “If Teacher Anna had power… maybe she could find a way to save these people who have become monsters, but… besides talking about protecting others, Teacher Anna can’t actually do anything.”

Hearing Ye Xingluo directly reveal the essence of this world, Anna was struck dumb, her body trembling as she collapsed to the ground.

She wanted to refute Ye Xingluo's words, but... at this moment, she couldn't say anything.

Because from the apocalypse until now... she hasn't protected anything, and Ye Xingluo, whom she hates, seems indifferent to human life, but many survivors were able to live because of Ye Xingluo... including herself.

Without the falling stars, Anna couldn't even imagine what she would be like now.

"And in a way... the mastermind behind their tragic deaths was actually Teacher Anna," Night Star said maliciously. "Teacher Anna actually possessed the power to save them... but she didn't use it properly..."

"I...the mastermind? I'm not!" Anna suddenly became agitated. She didn't know why Ye Xingluo would slander her like this, but she was clearly more concerned about Ye Xingluo's words, "Power...?"

"Hmm, Anna's power... isn't it me?" Ye Xinglu patted her chest, looking very sad, and said, "Your boyfriend who loves you the most is right in front of you. Anna, you could have gotten my help if you had just done something a girlfriend would do to please me, but... you didn't do anything. Actually, Anna, you're just an incredibly selfish woman."

"I... am selfish?"

“That’s right, it’s selfishness.” Ye Xingluo said contemptuously, “On the surface, Teacher Anna, who kindly says she wants to save others, knows in her heart that she could save many people by paying just a tiny price, but you subconsciously rejected it all, didn’t you?”

Night Star's words echoed in Anna's ears like the whispers of a demon. Anna, already bewildered by the immense shock to her soul, fell into deep self-doubt.

The defamatory words swirled and lingered in her mind... and were gradually becoming a fact in her heart.

She is the murderer...

She is a selfish person!

"No, I'm not!"

Anna suddenly cried out to Ye Xinglu in an extremely shrill voice.

She's not that kind of person!

She couldn't imagine herself being that kind of person!

"So...how do you plan to prove it?"

Ye Xinglu spoke meaningfully, passing by the stunned Anna, and then came to Xu tide, who was walking towards him with a solemn expression.

Clearly, she was also aware of the seriousness of the spider-human problem.

Xu tide glanced at the gruesome corpse in front of Anna, whose head had been separated from its body, and knew that the same thing had happened here.

“Aunt Xu tide... I suspect that people with the same symptoms may have mutated.”

"Night Starfall said softly."

Anna's body trembled as well, and Ye Xingluo's words made her belatedly realize the extremely cruel possibility.

"So... what should we do?" Ye Xingluo continued, throwing all the thorny questions to Xu tide. "Should we kill them all to prevent future troubles, or... wait for them to mutate and then eliminate them one by one?"

Xu tide frowned slightly upon hearing this. Ye Xingluo's suspicions were quite reasonable... because that was also her guess.

There is a significant problem with this group of students who fell ill for no apparent reason in the apocalypse.

But... just because of a few guesses, they were all...

That seems a bit too much.

"Let's wait and see..."

Xu tide quickly made a decision... In any case, with her strength, she could easily suppress the mutated spiders; the only problem was that watching them all the time would be exhausting.

She looked at Anna, who was slumped to one side, walked over, gently patted her shoulder, and then sighed.

This scene... must have dealt a huge psychological blow to Anna...

Xu tide looked at the students in front of her, whose faces were filled with fear. There were nearly a hundred of them, which seemed like quite a lot.

If her suspicions are true... could she really kill so many students without batting an eye?

Xu tide couldn't help but clench her fists.

No normal person would remain unmoved at this moment... except for a certain Summoner.

There's really no way...

Is it possible to save these people?

Xu tide thought slowly, then subconsciously looked at Ye Xingluo.

Her intuition told her that this mysterious and annoying guy...

Perhaps there is a solution.

"Aunt Xu tide, even if you look at me like that, it won't do any good..." Ye Xingluo casually shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do in this situation either~"

Xu tide withdrew her gaze and gently shook her head... It seemed that she had indeed been overthinking things.

Even though Ye Xingluo gave her the illusion that she could solve any problem, given the current situation and the lack of medical equipment, they were unable to discern the source of these students' mutations.
