“Relax, host. Have you not noticed that there was only one opportunity to use this option?” The system swept its tail across its host’s hand, smiling widely as it said, “Lord host has no need to worry. This time, I’ve already helped you select a time point that is after he has reversed time. Very soon you will meet the rescuers that the protagonist shou has brought to help you. You might as well look at the rest of the plot. Believe me, that system is fricken’ useless.”
Xue Ling calmed himself down and continued to read the plot.
Reading on, it was no longer as simple as f**cking a single dog.
This world’s apocalypse had been caused by meteorites from space attacking the earth, enveloping the earth in radiation. The radiation changed the people on Earth in two ways: into zombies and into ability users.
Although there were still ordinary people left, those people were unable to survive for long under the radiation. Over time, the two types of changed humans were the only kinds of people left in the world. The protagonist gong and shou belonged to the ‘ability users’ category.
The beginning of this story was also very strange. At this point in time, the zombies all over the world were currently regaining consciousness and the ability to think like human beings. The strongest amongst them has already evolved into the king of zombies. Zombies with awareness began to spontaneously gather together, taking over a portion of the cities, similar to the way the bases were ruled by ability users.
There were more zombies than ability users, and they did not need food or water to survive. After they developed, they became a great threat to the ability users.

The protagonist shou showed up at this time. The system that he had with him was an absolute anti-zombie system. Following the tasks that the system gave him, the protagonist shou thoroughly messed up the plans between the human ability users and zombies to sign a peace treaty and made it so that the contradictions between the two sides intensified, finally reaching a state where they would not give up unless the other party was dead.
The protagonist shou insisted on his long-standing belief that he wanted to rebuild a peaceful world without zombies. He persisted in wanting to kill all the zombies, but the zombie emperor was too powerful, and he had no way to resist by himself.
Chu Han was the person he had chosen to help him fight against the zombie emperor. But Chu Han’s ideas were totally different from the protagonist shou’s.
He believed that genuine human beings had already completely disappeared from the world. From a certain perspective, the zombies and ability users of today could no longer be considered as humans to some extent. They were the chosen survivors of the new world, and should not fight each other.
Chu Han advocated for a peace treaty and a cessation in hostilities between the ability users and zombies.
In the latter part of the plot, because his views were completely different from those of He Yan, the original feelings between the two were slowly eroded away, and they became totally unable to get along with each other. This matter became very big, and even split the ability users into two factions. It was only when the enmity between the two reached a point where there was no way to clear it up that the author seemed to remember that these two were supposed to be a pair. It was impossible to have them mutually destroy each other if they weren’t mutually in love, so the author forcefully designed a confrontation between Chu Han and the zombie emperor. Both sides sustained injuries, and Chu Han magically ‘lost his memory’.
For He Yan, this was truly a case of luck arriving after hardship. He could absolutely recreate a ‘Chu Han’ whose views were the same as his. So, he could not wait to begin, and slowly modified some of Chu Han’s perceptions, isolating him from his old subordinates and encouraging him to rely on him, ultimately becoming completely inseparable from him.
At the end of the story, the Earth became heavily damaged because of the battle between ability users and zombies, and both sides suffered heavy losses. In the last battle, in order to protect He Yan, Chu Han and the zombie emperor died together. He Yan’s system absorbed both of their powers at the time of the explosion and used it to restore the planet, giving them a ‘new’ lease on life. The few remaining ability users lived happily ever after on the new Earth, shouldering the task of revitalizing and redeveloping society for human beings. As for He Yan, he brought his ‘love’ for Chu Yan with him and retreated to fulfil his dream of living a life in seclusion.
It seemed to be a perfectly satisfactory life, but in fact, hidden behind was a very weird and distorted truth.
“In fact, if the zombies here had not been wiped out, they would gradually continue to evolve and become a new type of human beings. They did not become like this because of death. They were just going along a different path of evolution as the ability users, which was why they would look different. At the end of the day, this was all because of the radiation. The system slowly explained the cause and effect behind this to Xue Ling. “Originally, humans still had hope for survival, because zombies and ability users together could allow the human race to continue on. As long as they signed the peace treaty, everything would be different. But He Yan insisted on doing it his way, and he had no idea that ability users could not proliferate by themselves. After he went into seclusion, the number of humans left on Earth slowly decreased, and decades later, there were absolutely no traces of humans left on the planet.”
Xue Ling truly did not even know where to start showing his contempt regarding such a strange plot.
“Is there any kind of meaning to this arrangement…? Although it’s very convenient for me to make a move like this, since I have become ‘Chu Han’, then I can make all the decisions regarding my own actions. As long as I’m not willing, won’t He Yan be unable to successfully do anything?”
“That’s what I was thinking.” The system laughed cheekily and said, “Because host’s strength has increased, it is not a problem for you to enter protagonists’ bodies. The key point is that Chu Han also feels that he has been too wronged in this life. As the most powerful ability user, he was constantly exploited by He Yan, and even his feelings for him were caused by his loss of memory. He was particularly dissatisfied after his death, which was why the will of the world asked us to fix up the plot properly, so that at the very least, humans won’t all die off.”
Xue Ling rubbed his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

“Oh, I forget, there are also those so-called plot defenders in this world. I don’t know where he will appear, but it’s better if host is more careful.”
“Okay.”
The system saw that its host had sunk into contemplation, and padded around in a circle on his legs in satisfaction. It chose an excellent position and sat down, very content with this feeling that its host was taking his tasks to heart.
But after a while, it heard Xue Ling open his mouth to ask, “What do you think is the likelihood that he is the zombie emperor?”
System: “…” It had thought that its host was thinking about how to dealt with the protagonist shou, but it turned out that after such a long time, he was still thinking about his own lover…
Was it that he couldn’t properly accomplish his task or something if he didn’t know where the man was? If its host threw the tasks to the back of his mind one day, then it would absolutely become a typical example of dropping everything for love!
Although it really wanted to gnash its teeth, once it thought of the momentum that man exuded, the system was unconsciously terrified…

A good system did not fight against the powerful. It pulled on its ears, and aggrievedly answered, “I also don’t know. I can’t help you judge if he doesn’t come near.”
Xue Ling made an ‘oh’ sound, and then he heard a cry of surprise coming from the fatty driving beside him. “Ah! He Yan brought reinforcements! Excellent! I thought he had run away and left us behind.”
XueLing raised his eyebrows and looked at the cars approaching them from up ahead, as well as the protagonist shou who had leaned out of the window to wave at him. The smile that appeared in the corner of his mouth turned thoughtful.
How should he kill off the protagonist this time?
