Chapter 45 A Sword that Runs Rampant in the Apocalypse (45)

The personnel at the government’s base deduced the direction in which the young girl who had wielded the shocking sword had gone, and immediately dispatched an elite team to search for her and bring her back.

Bai Tang’s grandparents had come, and they seemed to have aged another ten years.

They deeply bowed to Bai Tang.

Grandma, with tears in her eyes, said, “Thank you.”

Grandpa also implored, “If it’s possible, when you leave, if the two of us haven’t died yet, please give little Tang’er’s body to us so we can bury her properly.”

Bai Tang smiled and nodded, “Having awakened special abilities is like cultivating immortality, you two at least have a hundred more years of life, I will only stay for ten.”

Having received this exact answer, the elderly couple returned to the car, holding a flower pot. Inside the pot was clean soil, and sprouts were emerging from it.

[Host, what spring dream are you having?] 
[I won’t take you with me. You’ll never escape this world. Ten years, don’t even think about it. You’ll either die here with me, or listen to me and be obedient.] 
Upon hearing Bai Tang’s words, System 168 was unexpectedly trying to pour cold water on her.

Bai Tang: ???
The little system was still lost in dreams? 

Bai Tang smiled mysteriously, “Little system, the day you come to me begging will come.”

Killing the system with a blunt knife, she wondered if it could withstand it?

System 168 didn’t take it to heart at all. It firmly believed in its own test results. Bai Tang was just someone with a slightly strong soul. At most a little bit of cultivation techniques, what could she do to it? The Space-Time Administration was the boss.

System 168 once again warned Bai Tang, [Host, don’t be ungrateful, complete the task well and do as I say. I won’t let you die in this world. After completing the task, I can also fulfill one of your wishes for you. Don’t you want this wish? Endless delicacies, mountains of money, beautiful men all around, power and influence, or even bringing back a person to life, it’s all possible.]

Bai Tang looked like she was thinking seriously, still very conflicted. Finally, Bai Tang wrinkled her forehead and said, “But…what you said, I don’t need any of it. Instead, your appearance broke my peaceful life before, it’s really annoying.”

[Hmph! Don’t be ungrateful, I’m waiting for the host to come beg me.] 

It seemed like after it had communicated with other systems, System 168 now seemed very confident.

Bai Tang smiled mysteriously, cutting off the connection between System 168 and the Space-Time Administration, and with other systems.

At night, when it was time to rest, everyone went to rest, but Bai Tang started to hire “child labor”.

Coward absorbed the spiritual energy and its wounds healed. Even if it was a dog, Bai Tang wouldn’t let it go. 

Everyone rested while Coward guarded the night and cultivated. 

Looking at Coward’s barely propped-up eyelids and pitiful appearance, Tang Manli couldn’t help but feel sorry for it and wished she could take its place in guarding the night.

Shi Minzhi sat in the car, leaning his head on his hand, his gaze fixed on the girl and dog outside. 

The girl was playfully teasing the puppy, her words and laughter full of warmth.

Shi Minzhi’s cultivation base, which had come from absorbing zombies’ crystal cores, was now gone, and he felt a sense of peace in his heart. In the past, when he saw such a scene, he would only feel it was fake and pretentious, and he would turn away.

No matter how this world was, it had almost no effect on Bai Tang. 

After resting, they continued to head towards the government’s base. 

Bai Tang never fought the zombies herself, there were enough people to do it. She even sent Coward to fight the zombies and would occasionally give it a few comments.

After more than ten days, they arrived in Jincheng. 

This city was bustling and had a large population, but also a lot of zombies. When they saw the increasing number of zombies, everyone’s mood became heavy. 

Bai Tang told them to stop the car, she had to go out and investigate the situation, maybe there was something interesting out there.
