Apocalypse: I'm the Landlady of the Refuge

The man saw through her silence and smiled, his eyes curving like peach blossoms, "You don’t want to lose the life you have now, do you? As long as you don’t oppose me, I can guarantee you can always have this kind of life."

Ji Wanwan looked at Baize expressionlessly, like a lifeless robot, "So, what exactly do you want to do?"

Baize’s eyes narrowed slightly, his voice lazy as he spoke the cruelest words, "Turn this rotten world into a zombie paradise..."

He paused, then looking out the window he slowly said, "Actually, I’m almost there. If you hadn’t gone to save those survivors, if you hadn’t built the Liancheng Base, this world would have already become a zombie paradise."

Ji Wanwan picked up on a clue from the man’s words.

According to Baize, he seemed to be unaware that she had the System.

If her rebirth was because of Baize, then how could the System explain it?

She twisted her fingertips, "Baize, tell me, how did you manage to make me come back to life?"

Baize turned his gaze toward her, "It’s simple, just a reversal of space-time."

Ji Wanwan understood instantly, "You also have the Time-Space superpower!"

Hearing the confirmation rather than a question in her tone, Baize curved his lips, "You really are, as smart as ever."

Ji Wanwan felt no joy from being praised, "Apart from the Time-Space superpower, how many other powers do you have?"

Baize lowered his gaze and thought for a moment, "Quite a few, I guess. Apart from the basic Five Elements superpower, there’s also the Time-Space System, the Space System, the Healing System, the Support System, the Attack System, the Spiritual System, the Physical System, the Transformation System, and the Energy System."

Ji Wanwan was shocked internally, but thanks to the previous cushioning, she managed to keep her composure very well.

It seemed that all the superpowers she had awakened were based on the foundation understood by Baize.

So, her tricks were completely exposed in front of Baize.

In other words, the chances of her defeating Baize were very small.

Seeing her silent, Baize bent his lips in a smile that was not quite a smile, "Thinking about whether you can beat me?"

Ji Wanwan choked up in her throat, immediately stopping her thoughts.

That’s right, Baize also had the Spiritual superpower; he might be able to read minds. She couldn’t think too much, lest Baize find out her thoughts.

If Baize really could read minds, then any excuse she made at this moment would be meaningless.

Ji Wanwan smiled openly, "Yeah, so, do you think I can beat you?"

Baize was also very frank, "I think it’s unlikely."

He paused, then with the crafty smile of a little fox, he said, "However, I won’t kill you. I will just give you a little punishment, whereas you are only thinking about killing me. In this regard, you truly have won."

Ji Wanwan sighed in disappointment, "That really is quite unfair."

Baize’s fingertips intertwined, lazily resting on his stomach, "Then how about this, you don’t oppose me, hand over the people in the base to me, and in exchange, I won’t touch you, nor your family and friends. The manor will still be yours. I can guarantee that no zombies will approach the manor. How about it?"

Ji Wanwan’s eyes grew colder, "What if I don’t agree?"

Baize shrugged innocently, "Then I can only give you a little punishment."

Ji Wanwan’s fingertips twitched, already on guard, "What kind of punishment?"

"Whoosh—"

The sound of cutting through the air rang out, and Ji Wanwan and Baize vanished simultaneously, reappearing in Ji Xing’s room the next moment.

At that time, Ji Xing and Ming Jing were nestled on the couch watching movies they had hoarded earlier.

Even though they knew Baize had reappeared and a new struggle was imminent, it didn’t affect their love of life or their ability to find joy amidst hardship.

Seeing his sister and a white-haired man suddenly appear, Ji Xing was stunned for a moment.

Ming Jing held the chips in his hand, so shocked that he forgot to put them in his mouth, "Sister Ji? Wang, Wang Youde??"

But Ji Xing squinted his eyes in disdain and glanced at Ming Jing, "Idiot, look carefully. This is Baize, not Wang Youde!"

The man in front of them was very similar to Wang Youde, but his demeanor was different and was immediately distinguishable.

Ming Jing sheepishly pursed his lips.

The next second, she reacted, "Who?!"

Baize simply appeared here so blatantly, wouldn’t she be killed immediately?

Wait, that’s not right!

Why would Sister Ji appear together with Baize?

Before she could figure it out, Baize’s lips curled into a teasing smile.

In an instant, Ji Xing and Ming Jing both felt an overwhelming sense of oppression, as if their bodies would explode the next moment.

Ji Wanwan was terrified, "Baize!!"

Her body acted faster than her brain, instinctively striking at Baize, hoping to save her brother. But the energy she emitted disappeared like a drop in the ocean, effortlessly neutralized by Baize. Her attack was to Baize as a mayfly shaking a tree.

At that moment, Ji Wanwan realized how terrifying Baize was.

Of course, how could the Zombie King be so easily killed, a weakling?

All the previous actions must have been Baize toying with her.

If he wished, he could crush them all to death at any moment!

Watching her increasingly pained brother, now bleeding from the nose and mouth, bound by Baize, Ji Wanwan truly became frightened, "Baize! Let my brother go, I’ll agree to whatever you say!"

No sooner had she spoken than Ji Xing felt himself released.

He clutched his chest, gasping for air, looking at Baize with horror, filled with fear.

He had almost died just now.

Right, what had Sister just shouted?

Suddenly, Ji Xing jerked his head up, ignoring his own aches, his face filled with urgency, "Sister! What did you promise him?"

Baize clearly didn’t want to hear Ji Xing’s nonsense.

Before Ji Xing could finish speaking, Baize teleported again, taking Ji Wanwan back to the place they had just left.

And he did all this without even needing to touch Ji Wanwan’s body, as though they were in completely different dimensions.

So-called dimensional suppression, it was nothing more than this.

Baize’s attractive peach blossom eyes brimmed with amusement, "Now that you’ve promised, you can’t back out."

As he spoke, he lifted his hand, in the palm was an explosive wave of energy, and Ji Wanwan could clearly feel the strength of this energy.

Baize’s smile deepened, "The people in the base, they now belong to me!"

Along with his words, the energy burst forth.

Inside the manor was calm, outside the manor the world was turned upside down.

Everything happened so fast that Ji Wanwan had no time to react.

She had never imagined that the day she found the murderer, the killer would choose to step out of the shadows and brazenly bring a calamitous disaster to the base.

"Buzz—"

A buzzing sound rang in her ears, the familiar tinnitus once again appeared.

Watching the base she had built bit by bit be destroyed in an instant, Ji Wanwan’s eyes turned red.

It’s as if the short few months in this life were only a dream of a fleeting mirror and water moon. Now that the dream was over, everything should come to an end.

Under the immense shock, darkness fell before Ji Wanwan’s eyes, and she fainted from the burden.

Her consciousness plunged into chaos, the headache-inducing tinnitus finally stopped.

Ji Wanwan felt as if she were floating in a vast ocean, drifting with the waves, lost.

She floated like this for so long, so long that she had almost forgotten everything. Suddenly, a familiar voice appeared by her ear—
