~8 min read 1,484 words

Xia Nuan held back her tears, helped the sobbing Lin Chen walk into the villa. Lin Chen's shoulders kept trembling,

his mouth still muttering: "I couldn't protect A Kai, I'm just a piece of trash..." Xia Nuan helped him sit on the sofa, handed him a tissue,

and comforted him softly: "Lin Chen, don't be like this, A Kai wouldn't want to see you like this.

We still have to keep going, we can't keep wallowing in sorrow."

Lin Chen took the tissue, wiped his tears, but couldn't stop crying. Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang: 【Host, please stop crying. The current situation is grim, excessive sorrow will affect judgment and is not conducive to subsequent actions】. Lin Chen didn't respond, still immersed in self-blame.

The blackened form in his body couldn't help but speak, its tone full of mockery: "Have you cried enough?

Can crying bring A Kai back? You're just a useless thing, only knowing how to use tears to solve problems!"

"What else can you do besides cry? Encountering trouble and breaking down, like a woman!"

"If A Kai knew you were like this now, he'd definitely regret coming with you!"

"You're just a coward, a coward!" "You can't even control your own emotions, and you still want to stop He Shao? Keep dreaming!"

"I didn't!

" Lin Chen finally couldn't help but retort, "I'm just sad, is it wrong to be sad?" "Sadness isn't wrong,

but you keep crying is wrong!" The blackened form continued to scold, "If you were a little useful,

you should pull yourself together and avenge A Kai, instead of crying here!" "You're just a piece of trash,

trash!" "If you still have some backbone, stop crying and stand up and do something!" "You think crying will get you sympathy? No one will sympathize with you, they'll just think you're useless!"

Lin Chen was left speechless by these words, his emotions gradually calming down. He took a deep breath,

and said to Xia Nuan: "I want to go back to my room and sleep, I'm a little tired." Xia Nuan nodded,

helped him stand up: "Okay, get some good rest, if you need anything, call me." Lin Chen said "hmm," turned, and walked toward his room, closing the door.

Lying on the bed, Lin Chen soon fell asleep. In his dream, he returned to the world without the apocalypse.

He and Xia Nuan were wearing wedding dresses and suits, standing in a church, exchanging rings, and becoming husband and wife.

Later, they had two children, a boy and a girl, both very cute. On weekends,

the family of four went to the movies, went to the supermarket to buy things, went to the street to shop and buy milk tea,

living a very happy life. Returning home at night,

his parents had already cooked dinner, and after eating, his parents played with the children, while he and Xia Nuan sat on the side watching, their faces full of smiles.

The next morning,

Lin Chen woke up from the dream, feeling much better. He wanted to go out and exercise his body,

and just as he walked out of the room, he saw Xia Nuan was also up. "Do you want to go out and exercise?"

Xia Nuan asked. Lin Chen nodded: "Yeah, do you want to come along?" Xia Nuan smiled and said: "Sure, I was just thinking about moving around too."

The two walked out of the villa and started jogging slowly along the road. After running for about half an hour,

a lot of people suddenly appeared in front, densely packed, with no end in sight. Lin Chen stopped,

and asked the system: "System, how many people are in front?" 【Detected about 20,000 people ahead, all survivors】 the system replied.

The two walked toward the crowd, and when they reached them, a middle-aged man walked up,

and said to them: "Hello, can you give us some food? We haven't eaten for two days, and we're about to starve to death." Lin Chen frowned,

looking at the people around—they were all wearing thin clothes, but didn't seem to feel cold,

which was very strange. He asked: "Don't you feel cold? The temperature outside is very low now, you're wearing so little, why aren't you afraid of freezing?"

The middle-aged man was stunned, then said: "We felt cold before, but a few days ago,

someone distributed a needle to the whole world, saying it could resist the cold, and after we injected it,

we didn't feel cold anymore." Lin Chen was shocked, and asked the system: "System, what's going on? Is there a problem with that needle?" 【Detected the needle contains anti-freeze ingredients, but also contains a highly toxic substance, the highly toxic substance will slowly consume the human lifespan, eventually leading to death】 the system replied.

"Then can you find out who distributed the needle?

" Lin Chen pursued. 【Insufficient permissions, unable to find information on the distributor】 the system replied. Lin Chen felt even more puzzled, and asked: "Then will these people really die slowly?" The system didn't answer, but instead made a "bang" sound, as if it had a malfunction, and then there was no sound.

Just then, an old lady walked over with a cane and said to Lin Chen: "Young man, can you give me some food? I'm old, I really can't walk anymore, I'm about to starve to death." Lin Chen said subconsciously: "Why should I give it to you?" After saying that, he mobilized his Absolute Zero ability, accidentally freezing the old lady. The people around saw this scene and all backed away in fear.

"Is it that hard to give some food?" a young man couldn't help but shout, "We just want something to eat,

we don't want your life!" "Who do you think you are, why should I give it to you?" Lin Chen retorted.

"We're all survivors, isn't it right to help each other?" the young man said.

"Yeah, if you have food, why don't you take it out and share it?" "Do you want to watch us starve to death?" "You're too selfish!"

The two sides argued more and more fiercely, Lin Chen was impatient with the noise, mobilized his Absolute Zero ability,

and waved a wave of cold air at the crowd. Dozens of people were hit by the cold air and instantly frozen into ice sculptures,

falling to the ground. "You're too much!" the remaining people shouted angrily, "What's the difference between you and a beast now? Killing people at will!"

"I have superpowers, can you beat me?

" Lin Chen retorted.

"Weren't you an ordinary person before?" someone shouted, "If you didn't have superpowers, could you have lived until now?"

"Yeah, you were an ordinary person before, why have you become so cruel now?

" "You're too selfish!" "People like you will get retribution sooner or later!"

"Do you think superpowers can protect you for a lifetime?" "If you didn't have superpowers, you'd be nothing!"

"You're too cold-blooded!" "People like you don't deserve to have superpowers at all!" "You were an ordinary person before, why have you become so heartless now?"

"If you didn't have superpowers, could you stand here and talk to us?" "You're just an ungrateful person!"

Lin Chen was stumped by these questions, and he thought about it carefully, finding that what they said was also right.

He was an ordinary person before, and if he hadn't met the system, hadn't had luck, and hadn't made his own efforts,

he wouldn't have become who he was now. His heart gradually softened,

and he shouted at the system: "System, can you give me some food? I want to share it with them."

The system's voice rang again, returning to normal: 【300,000 loaves of bread and 300,000 bottles of water have been issued to the host, already stored in the Infinite Space】. Lin Chen immediately opened the Infinite Space, took out the bread and water,

and threw them to the people around: "Eat slowly, drink slowly, this should be enough for you to eat for a while."

The people around saw the bread and water, and all rushed over, wolfing them down.

Lin Chen looked at them, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief. "We'll meet again if fate allows," Lin Chen said to the crowd,

"I'll keep your words in mind." Someone gave Lin Chen a thumbs up and said: "Thank you, young man, you're a good person."

Lin Chen smiled, turned around with Xia Nuan, and walked toward the villa. Returning to the villa,

Lin Chen felt a little tired, and he said to Xia Nuan: "I want to go back to my room and sleep,

you should rest early too." Xia Nuan nodded: "Okay, you go." Lin Chen said "hmm," walked into the room, lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep. ===== CHAPTER 95 =====
