Chapter 173
173 3.20.78 – Last battle – Downfall of Humanity
Bing Shi didn’t let go, “How are you going to explain that you only have memories of our lifetime, but not others? Xuan Mu, for how long are you going to fight yourself?”
Ren Han gnashed his teeth, “Then hug me. Kiss me. Love me. Love me, like you love him. Only then will I believe you.” Shutting his eyes tight, his tone full of ridicule, “Don’t make me laugh. If I’m him, why are you reacting like you’re holding a piece of shit?”
Bing Shi started to bawl, sitting on his tights, she hugged him close, “No! You are not! Ugh...”
Ren Han gripped the fabric of the couch; each of her repulsed reaction was like a knife stabbing at his heart repeatedly. But he couldn’t ignore the warmth of her body, her tears sliding down his bare torso, her soft whimpers, and the great pounding within his chest, “Can I hug you?”
“Please do...ugh...” Bing Shi clutched his chest tightly.
Feeling her nod, holding back his strength, Ziek held her in his arms. After almost three years, he could finally touch the love of his life.
“...” After a while, when Bing Shi sobbing quelled, Ren Han looked down at the woman, whose face could be described as a splash of muddy water thrown over an expensive piece of modern art. His chest was smeared with her tears and snot. Not forgetting about a few smudges of her mascara and foundation here and there. Unable to utter a word, he hugged her again, “...”
“I’m such a crybaby,” Bing Shi rubbed her puffy eyes, smearing her mascara more. It wouldn’t be her if she didn’t kill the mood with her words, “I need to rinse my mouth. It smells like puke.”
“...” Ren Han took a deep, deep breath, and let go of the ugly panda. The desire to kiss her a moment ago disappeared, “...Pfft...”
.....
Bing Shi’s regular routine. After crying her heart out, she would instantly switch back to the happy go lucky girl. Grinning, she slid down his body, grabbing her bag, she went to the bathroom to clean up, leaving behind the flabbergasted Ren Han.
Ren Han looked at the ceiling dazedly, hearing a ringtone, he reached towards the coffee table to pick up his phone.
One of his male subordinates abroad called out in panic, “BOSS! There are some irregularities among the zombies. They suddenly started to attack nearby cities! Aaaaargh!” The flying man attempted to run away from a tide of flying zombies, but before he could finish, the call disconnected.
A high ranked zombie teleported towards him and scratched his neck with its sharp nails. That zombie was none other than the public’s enemy number two, Ma Jie, who should be dead inside of the prison with the highest security.
Ren Han gripped his phone. Phone call after a phone call all around the world described a similar situation.
“Evacuate to the Central city,” he ordered. Calling Yi Zen, he moved his gaze towards the bathroom, “There should be a high ranked zombie with an ability to control all the zombies in the world. We need to locate it, or else this world is fucked.”
“Does she know?” Yi Zen asked while going out of his tent to summon his men.
“Not yet,” Ren Han answered.
When Bing Shi got to know the news, a new bawling session began. While crying, she put on her gas mask and immediately flew out of the hotel room to warn the citizens.
‘Is this the reason why I was tasked to protect Fu Lian for exactly four years?’
‘No wonder I got a bonus quest to kill all the zombies!’
‘This is impossible!’
[“Kuro, change into your biggest form.”]
[Yes.]

A loud, alarming sound resonated throughout the cities, bringing fear to all the people. Every person grabbed their equipment and rushed to their assigned meeting point. According to the sound, they moved towards the Central city. Looking up the skies, they saw a humongous white snake floating above them.
Atop of Kuro sat Bing Shi in a cross-legged position, waiting for the rest to appear.
While Ren Han flew towards his ship, to gain as much information as possible.
Everyone looked at Bing Shi with a questioning gaze. They never saw her with Kuro in real life. Usually, it would be five guards surrounding her. Still, nobody dared to get close. The sight of Kuro and Bing Shi together was too intimidating!
In this world, nobody felt completely safe. They couldn’t tell when another apocalypse would emerge. People had no choice but to be always prepared for the worst. They didn’t dare provoke another citizen mindlessly. Despite looking weak, who knew what power that person was hiding? What if that person would get stronger and take revenge on them one day? Rather than going against each other, they focused on the same enemy.
A few million against billions? How was that possible?! Citizens felt utterly hopeless. In a month, a never-ending wave of zombies would appear near the central cities. To prevent the city from being destroyed, four Bing Shi bases were built in the open field.
It took two days for Yi Zen’s army to appear. Children and those incapable of fighting were sent inside Fu Lian’s space.
When other bases received the message, they hurriedly moved towards Bing Shi’s direction.
The reason why Bing Shi received a mission to protect Fei Lan had to be this. To prevent the downfall of humanity, Fei Lan’s space dimension was the solution for humans, from going extinct.

Inside Bing Shi’s tent, Ren Han, sitting on the armchair, stretched out his arms for Bing Shi to sit on his lap. “During my absence, go and hide in Fu Lian’s base,” he requested softly while hugging her from behind. The more both of them accepted that he was Xuan Mu, the more memories of Bing Shi flooded into his mind.
“No way. Locked with so many shrimps? Do you want me to go insane?” Bing Shi immediately refused, getting used to his touches.
