When the dirt settled, a stream of water suddenly emerged from the youth’s hands. He stood in the middle of the bodies, washing his hands clean. The water slowly disappeared, and Qing Yun turned around and skipped past the dumbfounded crowd toward the car.

The child’s innocence is gone, and his clear appearance seems to glow in the darkness. An indescribable arrogance crept up Qing Yun’s eyebrows, making the hearts of the people watching him walk closer slowly tremble.

At the end of the world, the ability users who have lived until now are sensitive to death. Now, their whole body is shrouded by an overwhelming killing intent, but they do not even dare to lift the weapon in their hands.

Standing behind Qing Yun, Sheng Feng felt that the youth in front of him was unfamiliar. It was as if the child who had been staying by Sheng Feng’s side these days had suddenly turned into a powerful and indifferent stranger.

But this strangeness also seems to carry a sense of familiarity imprinted in Sheng Feng’s soul. These two feelings intertwined and made Sheng Feng unable to distinguish which he was most familiar with.

“Who are you?”

Sheng Feng’s hoarse voice rang out behind Qing Yun, who turned his head to look at him. The corner of his mouth pulled out an icy and mocking curve: “No comment.”

The cold words made Sheng Feng instantly clench his fists. He looked into the young man’s eyes, which were incomparably empty with only a morbid killing intent and endless dead silence. The attachment and adoration that once filled his eyes seemed to be nothing more than a bubble in Sheng Feng’s dream.

Sheng Feng’s heart suddenly felt like someone had slashed an opening. Something unseen and untouchable flowed out clean, leaving his heart empty and unsettled.

Now, the youth’s eyes are finally colored with what is most needed in the last days.

He no longer has to worry about his Qing Yun being bullied.

""

But in his heart, there was a vague suspicion emerging. He felt that the youth should not look at him with such cold eyes and that they should not have such a hostile relationship.

Qing Yun did not say anything all the way and just walked straight into the car. Behind him, Ding Shiang and the others did not move. They looked up at Sheng Feng, with hesitation and doubt in their eyes.

Qing Yun’s current state indeed gives them the chills. Previously, when he was only five years old mentally, they dared to take him back to the base, but now?

The murderous aura that emerged from this man was not fake. Ding Shiang felt bitter in his heart. He felt that Qing Yun must have retained his previous memories. Otherwise, he could not have been so hostile to the entire team.

A feeling of regret suddenly rose in the hearts of these ability users present. If they had helped Qing Yun when he was being ostracized and bullied, they would have gotten a powerful accomplice now.

Sheng Feng could tell at a glance whether Qing Yun was angry, making a scene, or simply silent. Now, although the young man’s aura is unfathomable and his face remains icy cold, Sheng Feng can still keenly feel his inner emotions.

Sheng Feng knew that Qing Yun had a little habit of pinching his index finger with the nail of his thumb whenever he was unhappy or angry. And now, the nails of the youth sitting in the passenger seat were almost sunk into the flesh. So he knew that the young man sitting quietly in the passenger seat right now must have a lot of anger in his heart.

That’s right, Qing Yun is now furious.

He did not expect that he was living in such a state these days. When he first came to this world, Qing Yun was furious because of what happened to this body. He was in a bad mood and then found that there was something wrong with this body. He had a mental ability, and Qing Yun’s soul raised this ability even higher.

But this is where the accident happened. This body’s ability was not awakened on its own but was a product of human experimentation. Therefore, this artificially stimulated ability itself was extremely damaging to the body. Qing Yun’s soul directly boosted this body’s power, but the physical body’s enhancement was slow. This directly led to a near-collapse of this body’s brain field, which could not withstand Qing Yun’s powerful soul.

Qing Yun’s soul nearly left his body. To avoid attracting the Heavenly Dao’s attention, Qing Yun could only conform to the state of this body and seal a part of his soul, leaving only the parts that this body’s fragile mind could withstand.

But Qing Yun did not expect that his memory would stay when he was five years old. Five years old was just a false age, to be precise, the other day, his mind was only over three years old, and that was the time Qing Yun……least wanted to touch.

His soul slowly transformed this body so that Qing Yun could fully recover his memory. However, this body’s abilities are too overpowered. Every time he uses it, it causes significant damage to his brain field. So he cannot maintain this state of adulthood for a long time.

Although the state of five years old made Qing Yun’s heart stuffed, this was not the thing that angered him the most.

What made him even angrier was that this world’s protagonist was not Lu Changfeng, who had provoked him much, but Sheng Feng.

However, the five-year-old Qing Yun was close to Sheng Feng and had an attachment to him. This emotion was buried in his five-year-old memory, which spanned close to ten thousand years and passed intact to the present Qing Yun’s mind.

The Sheng Feng in the memories was even warmer and more nostalgic because of the passage of time and the contrast between Qing Yun’s past cold memories.

This nostalgia simply makes Qing Yun want to crush the person to death. Simultaneously, the man’s identity makes the storm in Qing Yun’s heart roll over even more.

In the last world, he almost became the protagonist’s lover. In this world, he became the protagonist. What is the origin of this man?

Seeing that the index finger of the young man beside him almost oozed blood, Sheng Feng couldn’t help but hiss out, “Don’t pinch any more, if you are angry, come at me.”

As soon as Sheng Feng’s words fell, he saw the youth beside him suddenly close his eyes. Then, his surrounding aura abruptly transformed, and the childishness that he greatly missed appeared in these eyes again.

“Pigeon!” Qing Yun opened his eyes and immediately turned his head to look for his pigeon.

Hearing his call, the sound of wings flapping outside the car window rang out, and a gray pigeon with a rope falling from its feet flew over.

He tilted his head to grab the pigeon that flew in but suddenly felt his waist hugged by someone fiercely, and then was brought into a warm embrace.

""

The car faltered and stopped at the side of the road. Inside the vehicle, Qing Yun held his pigeon and turned his head to look blankly at the man who buried his head into his neck.

Feeling Qing Yun’s vaguely concerned gaze, the panic in Sheng Feng’s heart caused by the youth’s cold rejection finally subsided a little. He quietly embraced the child in his arms, reaching out to gently stroke his soft hair. An inexplicable heartache once again rushed to Sheng Feng’s heart.

This heartache seeped out from Sheng Feng’s soul, and it was so profound that it made his body tremble. The proud and lonely youth, who appeared for only a brief moment, was deeply rooted in Sheng Feng’s heart.

He wondered what had happened to make such a soft Qing Yun eventually turn into such a powerful and cold figure?

No one could answer Sheng Feng’s question.

Sheng Feng quickly caught up with the team in front of him, and in less than half a day, the group returned to H base.

“Slow down.” Sheng Feng helped Qing Yun get off the car. The child sat in the car for a long time, and his feet were a little numb.

Those who followed Sheng Feng back have long avoided Qing Yun, and Lu Changfeng even ran out of sight. Although they did not join the battle, they also did not go far. What happened last night, even if they did not see everything, they also have a little understanding of it. Not to mention that there is a team of ability users with them to clarify the situation.

Qing Yun pulled the pigeon out of the car and received many glances. To be precise, these glances were not projected on him but instead focused on the pigeon flying above his head.

Greedy gazes were instantly cast over, and a few of the homeless people sitting disheveled in the corner even stood up and trembled as they walked over to Qing Yun.

“Get lost!” Sheng Feng’s cold and strong gaze swept over like a sharp sword, and his powers were released without hesitation. Several people who moved towards this side instantly tumbled to the ground, curled up, and wailed.

The rest of the people who were watching intently also narrowed their eyes. They knew Sheng Feng because although he had been at H base for only a few days, his strength was much higher than the base’s leader, so many people had heard of him.

“Captain, I……” A space ability user in the team came over and released Sheng Feng’s share of supplies, “Can I follow you to B City? I can help you with the supplies.”

They were only a temporary team, but seeing Sheng Feng and Qing Yun’s strength, these people can’t help but be moved. In the last days, the strongest are the most important. It would be much better to follow Sheng Feng and Qing Yun than to stay in H base.

This is the result of these people secretly thinking last night. Of course, not everyone has decided, but many people were still moved because the H base situation is not good.

It can be seen by the faces of those new ordinary people in the team that their joy last night has gradually disappeared. The dead silence that is characteristic of the people’s faces of the end days has crept up again.

The entire H base is devastated. There are people on the side of the road paralyzed, unknown whether they are dead or alive. Even the faces of the ability users stationed on the base’s outskirts do not look good; they are yellow and thin. This is not only because of hunger but also because of the toxins’ erosion that the end times spread in the land and water.

The base can only shelter them from zombie attacks. However, it cannot give them a better living environment because the unbridled competition between their kind still exists here.

Each base was established with its own set of laws, but in less than a month, these laws collapsed due to the extreme lack of supplies, and even the upper levels of the base could not restrain their greedy mouths. Under the threat of death, everyone subconsciously seizes supplies. Who is there to uphold such laws?

“Let’s talk later.” Sheng Feng, who has always been good at talking, answered ambiguously this time. He picked up the supplies and carried them on his shoulders, but then said to the space user, “I have other plans for the team going to B City. I will inform you when I leave.”

Speaking of this, Sheng Feng felt funny. He came here to take Lu Changfeng, but now Lu Changfeng is not the most important matter to him.

There was a flash of those cold and arrogant eyes in his mind, and Sheng Feng’s breathing faltered.

Shaking off the emotions swirling in his mind, Sheng Feng turned his head, took Qing Yun’s hand, and walked towards the base’s interior. As he walked, he instructed Qing Yun: “Don’t run around here, okay? Stay by my side.”

Qing Yun nodded while quietly glancing at the roadside. He saw a man in uniform with a shovel taking the motionless baby in the corner and throwing it outside the fence.

“Don’t look.” Sheng Feng reached out to cover his eyes and turn his head back.

The zombie virus keeps spreading, and now even ordinary people who have not been touched by zombies have a certain chance of turning into one. And the bodies that died accidentally are unavoidable, so the city will clean up these bodies regularly.

Qing Yun’s head did not turn around but stubbornly looked in that direction.

Sheng Feng could feel the child’s curly eyelashes sweeping across his palm, then Qing Yun lightly tugged his sleeve, and his tender voice rang out with doubts: “Why are they taking him away? Because he won’t move?”

Sheng Feng froze for a moment before it occurred to him that he asked about the motionless baby. Sheng Feng opened his mouth but couldn’t make a sound. How was he going to explain to Qing Yun?

The child’s low voice rang out again, “I used to be like that. I wouldn’t move.”

Qing Yun has never talked about his past. Now, these words appeared rashly like a sharp thorn spinning into Sheng Feng’s body, stimulating the nerves throughout his body and making him shiver with pain. Sheng Feng reached out and wrapped his arms tightly around the person. He kissed the child’s hair and explained in a soft voice: “That uncle took him outside the wall to play, and there was someone outside to catch him.”

“Really?” Qing Yun’s voice instantly took on a hopeful tone.

“Yes.” Sheng Feng gently held the back of the child’s head, not allowing him to look up and see his reddened eyes. This was not the first time Sheng Feng had lied, but it was the most difficult one for him.

Sadness emerged in his heart. Why was it in such an era, why did this five-year-old child appear in this devastated era? If it had been a little earlier, Sheng Feng could have shown him all the beautiful mountains and rivers of the world. He could have given him the most privileged and perfect life, instead of the cruelty that can only be adorned with lies like now.

After slowly calming down, Sheng Feng then led Qing Yun to walk forward.

The foreign population registration office was already insight. A clean and neatly dressed man saw Sheng Feng and immediately greeted him with a smile: “Mr. Sheng! I heard that you brought a water and fire system ability user from outside. That is a great contribution to the base!”

Sheng Feng subconsciously blocked Qing Yun, and coldly rejected the man’s words: “He’s coming back to B City with me.”

He turned his head to Qing Yun and asked in a low voice, “Would you like to go with me?”

Qing Yun immediately grabbed Sheng Feng’s sleeve and nodded. Seeing the child’s well-behaved appearance, a smile appeared in Sheng Feng’s eyes, but then there was a bitterness that could not be suppressed. The child had agreed, but what about the youth who suddenly appeared last night?

It seems that the person doesn’t want to be in contact with him.

The man was embarrassed by Sheng Feng’s refusal, but in the end, he could only nod and smile because Sheng Feng’s strength was too great. If he wanted to, he could end the whole H base, and then the privileges of them, the top levels of the base, would be gone.

Sheng Feng did not want to keep Qing Yun in the H base. He brought Qing Yun over to check whether there were relatives of the child there. After checking, he did not find anyone related to Qing Yun, but Sheng Feng was relieved. He really could not imagine how he would face them if Qing Yun’s relatives were really there.

Give Qing Yun to them? Impossible.

Although they only had a few days together, Sheng Feng no longer saw the child as a burden like he did at first. Qing Yun is now more like a pillar of Sheng Feng’s life, and taking tender care of the child every day is the best time Sheng Feng has ever experienced in the last days.

He took him back to the room assigned to him by the base, which is the top floor of a small building with just the right amount of sunlight, and was even clean. Sheng Feng initially did not care much about it, but now he feels fortunate that it is on the top floor. If it were on the first or second floor, Qing Yun would have been disgusted by the dirty environment.

Watching the child holding the pigeon in the sunlight, Sheng Feng’s nerves that had been tense today, relaxed. He put the supplies away and instructed Qing Yun: “Be careful on the balcony, don’t put your body out.”

Qing Yun ran around the room and then back to Sheng Feng with beads of sweat on the tip of his nose. He pulled the clothes on his body and frowned, “Want to shower.”

Qing Yun said the rain was coming and stood in the living room immediately to undress. Sheng Feng hurriedly stopped him: “Wait, I remember there is a bathroom here.”

He found that the child has no concept of these matters. When they first met, he was naked in public and did not feel shy at all. If the young man from last night knew about it, he might be furious.

Thinking of this, Sheng Feng’s hand cleaning the bathtub stopped. Last night, the youth was so angry, it would not be……because of this, right?

Qing Yun stood on the side, looking at the bathtub in the bathroom, and did not say anything as he made the tub bubble up.

Seeing this, Sheng Feng couldn’t help but smile. He knows that Qing Yun loves cleanliness very much. It has been days without a bath, so he probably couldn’t wait. If it weren’t for the fact that Sheng Feng told him a few days ago that he couldn’t just take off his clothes in front of others, he would have already washed himself a few times on the way.

After touching the temperature of the water in the bathtub, Sheng Feng frowned. The water was not too cold, but it was still quite chilly in this weather. Thinking of this, Sheng Feng put his hand on the water surface and operated his ability.

He does not have fire ability, but now he is just controlling the force between the water molecules, colliding with each other to produce heat. In a short while, the water temperature went up, but Sheng Feng was sweating profusely. It was the first time he tried to use his powers in such a detailed way.

A slightly cool palm settled on Sheng Feng’s forehead, wiping away the sweat. Sheng Feng looked up and saw Qing Yun frowning at the sweat stains in his palm, his face still showing a look of disgust.

Sheng Feng laughed loudly. He swept the child into his arms and rubbed against him: “It’s you who wipes my sweat, and it’s also you who dislikes it. Why are you so cute?”

“Let go. I want to take a bath!” Qing Yun wrinkled his face and flung himself out of his arms.

“Okay, I won’t mess with you anymore.” The new use of his powers opened a door for Sheng Feng. He didn’t expect that he could also use his ability like a microwave oven, so it would be easier to take care of someone in the future.

“Can you wash yourself?”

When the child nodded and took off his clothes, Sheng Feng turned his head and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a “thump”. Qing Yun slipped into the bathtub.

Sheng Feng laughed and cried as he walked over and reached out to fish the person out. His palm had just gripped the waist of the youth in the bathtub when a tremendous force came towards Sheng Feng. A grip like an iron clamped on Sheng Feng’s throat and pressed him hard against the bathroom wall.

“Where are you touching?”

The cold voice came into Sheng Feng’s ears, and he looked at the drenched youth surfacing from the bathtub. Underneath the dripping black hair was a pair of ice-cold and tyrannical eyes.

“It’s you? No, you’re also Qing Yun.” Sheng Feng’s throat was squeezed, and he could barely spit out the words. It was clear that the youth from last night had come out again. He could not help but smile bitterly, he was just wondering why this youth was angry, and now he stepped on the mine again.

Noticing the additional memories in his mind, Qing Yun fiercely gritted his teeth. What is this “taking the child out to play”, is this person treating him as a child to be coaxed?

His moist thin lips moved inch by inch closer to the man he had pinned to the wall. The accusing words from his mouth were cold and slightly angry: “Who gave you permission to tamper with my memories at will?”

Hearing this, Sheng Feng laughed in a low voice: “Sure enough, you are Qing Yun. He is the five-year-old version of you, and you are the grown-up version of him.”

As he said this, a bit of tenderness emerged in Sheng Feng’s eyes again.

Looking at the elder-like gentleness in the man’s eyes, the anger in Qing Yun’s heart was almost like a volcanic eruption. He raised his hand to pinch on a particular acupuncture point on the man’s waist.

Sheng Feng, who was about to break free from Qing Yun’s confinement, instantly felt that something was wrong. The youth touched him somewhere, and he immediately felt a wave of heat running through his body. Then, a certain object that had not been “aroused” without permission since Sheng Feng’s puberty slowly raised.

Sheng Feng’s expression was like being struck by lightning. He did not expect that in front of the young man, who he had treated as a son, and in this life-threatening and dangerous position, he actually got hard?

The youth in front of him did not retreat. Sheng Feng watched him gently come over, and the tip of his upturned nose almost brushed his chin.

The youth narrowed his eyes, like a cheetah patrolling his territory, and gently sniffed at the side of Sheng Feng’s neck. The exquisite face was proud and sexy, making the heat on Sheng Feng’s body soar. His breathing became heavy, and this reaction made Sheng Feng’s face turn red.

He, how can he be such a bastard, even to Qing Yun, the child……

But under this emotion is the raging and surging strong desire and possessiveness, Sheng Feng’s mind even tumbled through some vague and ambiguous images. These images were almost about to break through some confinement in his soul and be presented in its entirety……

“Bang!”

Qing Yun gritted his teeth and smashed his fist on the man’s face, breaking certain memories that had just sprouted in Sheng Feng’s mind to pieces.

Raising the man’s neck and standing up after confirming something, Qing Yun simply wanted to ignore everything and directly crush the man to death. A hint of killing intent against the man flashed genuinely in his eyes.

Not to mention that the man became the main character this time, even if he appeared as usual, Qing Yun could not stand it.

He is indeed very interested in this man who has been following him. Nie Chenyuan’s obedience, Zou Chen’s domineering tolerance, Chris’s pain and remorse, and Ning Qianyuan’s foolishness. The man presented these changing patterns just right to maintain Qing Yun’s interest in him so that Qing Yun will stop by every world for this.

However, this does not mean that Qing Yun has allowed him to enter his heart completely. Just four worlds are not enough for Qing Yun, an old demon who has lived for tens of thousands of years, to really fall in love with this man.

At most, Qing Yun just treats him as an interesting existence and includes him in the scope of his possessions.

But five-year-old Qing Yun is different. In those poor and cruel life experiences, Sheng Feng is the most gentle and accommodating one to him. So, five-year-old Qing Xiaoyun really likes Sheng Feng very much.

This affection even withstood the impact of Qing Yun’s memory of the last ten thousand years. It was clear that the kind of pleasant and childish mood was transmitted to the present Qing Yun.

After all, this is the only warm presence in Qing Yun’s childhood.

This man now has truly touched Qing Yun’s heart.

The hot lava was churning in Qing Yun’s heart.

Kill him.

Catch this moth that is crawling into your heart so that you are still you.

This will cover up all the pain and vulnerability you were born with.

Qing Yun heard his own voice seemingly ringing out like this, and his soul began to stir, a hint of powerful aura revealed through this body. This was the first time since the crossing that Qing Yun was truly angry. The heavier the anger, the more calm his eyes became.

Qing Yun was even thinking about how he could kill this man’s body while stirring up his soul together, ultimately to end the problem later. And there is another crucial issue, the man this time appeared as the protagonist, so he also has to avoid being discovered by the Heavenly Dao.

The fingers on the neck tightened, but Sheng Feng, who was initially distressed by his body’s reaction, calmed down and looked deeply into Qing Yun’s eyes. Perhaps Qing Yun himself did not notice, but as a bystander, Sheng Feng could clearly see the struggle in these eyes.

This pair of beautiful eyes are already bloodshot, and they looked ruthless but with a kind of sadness.

Sheng Feng could feel the youth’s killing intent, but he suddenly felt that this killing intent was not directed at himself but was the youth’s own self-harm. He seemed to have gone through a painful struggle and finally decided to extinguish the only remaining softness in his heart with his own hands.

The air in his lungs was gradually lost, but Sheng Feng did not struggle. He felt that he had suddenly lost the strength to fight.

His consciousness gradually faded, and a tugging force seemed to pull Sheng Feng’s soul away from his body.

Suddenly, the sound of Qing Yun’s cries seemed to ring in Sheng Feng’s ears, and he heard the five-year-old child crying in sorrow. Sheng Feng was startled, and he subconsciously moved his arm. He lifted his rough hand palm and gently stroked the top of the youth’s wet hair in front of him. The soft movement was exactly the same as Qing Yun remembered.

“What’s wrong? What are you crying about?”

As soon as the words came out of his throat, Sheng Feng suddenly felt himself being thrown, and he hit the wall heavily. He came to his senses with a jolt, and the various sensations that appeared in his mind when he was on the verge of death lay dormant in his soul once again.

Sheng Feng coughed while covering his neck and got up. All he could see was the naked back of the youth walking out of the bathroom, which was strongly concealing his fragility.

Sheng Feng subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but after the intense pain in the neck disappeared, the body’s reaction that had not yet subsided once again caught Sheng Feng’s attention.

His face turned red again. Sheng Feng raised his hand and slapped himself twice.

Damn, beast! Bastard!
