    How could my Shanshan die?


    Su Shanshan, you were the one who asked me ifI wanted to marry you. How


    could you go back on your word? You can’t do this. You can’t die without my


    permission.


    “She won’t die”


    “Won’t die”


    “No..”


    Gu Jincheng kept mumbling, his hands digging the ground mechanically. There


    were deep wounds on his fingers, and he seemed to be out of his mind.


    His body suddenly stiffened as blood oozed from his ears. He fell to the ground,


    seemingly dead.


    Awoman walked over from afar and was shocked to see those people on the


    ground. When she saw Gu Jincheng, her eyes shed and she whisked himn


    away


    The seconds ticked by. Gu Zhao was the first to wake up. He recalled everything


    that had just happened and quickly looked around. There was no sign of. Su


    Shanshan and Gu Jincheng. Feeling sorrowful, he woke Gu Ling and Fei Lan up.


    Fortunately, the surrounding zombies had been attracted to City M and were


    destroyed together. Otherwise, they would have been eaten by the zombies.


    They knew that Su Shanshan was dead, but where had Gu Jincheng gone? The


    few of them started to look for Gu jincheng’s whereabouts in the surrounding


    area.


    Underground of City M.


    Su Shanshany on the ground. Blood was flowing out from the wound on her


    chest, soaking her entire body. She could barely breathe.


    She slowly closed her lifeless eyes and dropped her hands on her stomach.


    The moment she closed her eyes, the ck and red rock on her chest glowed


    with a strange blue light as it sucked her blood.


    Even the cinnabar mole on her heart was dominated by the rock. The stream of


    spiritual spring water flowed out of the mole and was absorbed by the rock, but


    a portion of it reached the wound in Su Shanshan’s heart.


    In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.


    The wounds on Su Shanshan’s body were almost healed by the spiritual spring


    water. The rock on her chest had stopped absorbing her blood, leaving only a


    steady stream of spiritual spring water.


    Su Shanshan’s fingers moved suddenly, and her dead eyes quivered. A second


    She was still a little confused when she woke up. Looking at the block of ck


    soil above her head, she blinked and became aware of the situation.


    She reached for her chest. The gaping hole there had disappeared without


    leaving any scar.


    Could I have been rebom again? she wondered.


    The thought had barely crossed her mind when she dismissed it. She stood up.


    There wasa sound of something falling to the ground. She looked down. It was


    the extraterrestrial meteorite she had obtained not long ago.


    She bent down to pick it up and felt a little dizzy, as if she was hungry. She


    touched her empty stomach, which was rumbling, and took out a bag of bread


    from her space. As she ate, she observed her surroundings


    This ce seemed to be a cave, but there was no light around. She was not


    sure. The environment was very humid, as if she was underground.


    Underground?


    She remembered that before she lost consciousness, she didnd in a crack in


    the ground. She had been swallowed up with City M and had recovered from


    her wounds for some reason. That was why she did not die.


    She was mulling over her current situation when she felt as if she had stepped


    on something. The ground here was uneven, and every step she took would


    cause the ground to creak. She used her foot to trace the thing on the ground. It


    hard and long object. It felt thin. What is it? she wondered.


    She moved her feet and felt around with her hands as she walked forward. The


    surrounding stone walls were densely covered with nts that seemed like


    vines. She felt something smooth and sticky under her hand. She ced her


    hand under her nose and sniffed. There was a pungent smell.


    At that moment, she stepped on something. It was round. This feeling, this


    hardness, this shape-Su Shanshan instantly understood what it was. She


    turned pale and recoiled in horror. This ground was filled with bones. What she


    had just stepped on was a human skull.


    The realization made her scalp tingle. This cave was actually formed by bones


    stacked together. She did not dare to walk around casually, but this ce was


    dark, and she could not find an exit even if she wanted to.
