Time could go by very quickly. Soon, the meeting was looming over their heads. A large number of ability users gathered at Yanhan base along with a whole pile of base leaders.

The pattern for this world’s governance had basically been decided. Three large bases and four medium-sized bases were invited to the conference this time, and it was said that the boss of Yanshan base would also be holding a wedding…

Originally, it was only a conference, but now they also needed prepare wedding gifts. Time had already been tight and during this period, many people were so busy they were turning around in circles, all because Xue Ling accidentally proposed in bed with a casual sentence.

Although there were rumours that the leader of the Snow Fox Mercenary Corps in Yanshan base and their external aid had been stuck together for many years, neither of them had ever made an announcement. Chu Han never brought Xun Yu with him when he went out, so nobody dared to randomly discuss what the truth of the matter was.

After all, those two were now nominally the strongest powerhouses in the end of the world, even if this was something the ability users only speculated about. Because most people had never seen the zombie emperor before, they were not sure if these two were stronger or weaker than him.

Now that the ability users and the zombies were working together, many people felt that they would now have the privilege of meeting that top level zombie emperor, and the conference this time would probably bring about a radical change in the world’s pattern.

Of course, not everyone was optimistic about the cooperation between the zombies and ability users. Quite a few had experienced the killing of fellow comrades, and even if things seemed to be better now, most of them were still unwilling to do things like sleeping with tigers.

After all, those were the zombies that had once fed on the energy core of ability users…

The entire Yanshan base was in a surprisingly good state. They were busy preparing for the wedding, and because of Xue Ling’s nurture and influence, there was even an area in the city where the zombies and ability users could get along and interact.

At first, many people protested against it, but everything was good now.

Compared to the convention, they were more concerned about Xue Ling and Xun Yu’s wedding. After all, the two of them were Yanshan base’s greatest guardians. As their subordinates, they had the clearest understanding that if they really wanted to, it would be no problem if they wanted to crown themselves emperors. Now that they had thrown out an olive branch and suggested cooperation, what reason did these people have to refuse?

He Yan was lying low in the city during this period. With his current ability, there was no way for him to mingle his way into the upper levels of Show Fox Mercenary Corps, and it was even more impossible for him to get close to Xue Ling, so he had constantly been waiting for an opportunity.

Xue Ling preferred to label this kind of laying low as cowardice.

Given that he had a system that had nothing else to do other than broadcasting what He Yan did and thought about all day long, Xue Ling knew about every intention He Yan held. He wanted to risk his life to kill him, but was still carefully deliberating, worried that his own death would be too ugly.

Was he kidding? He was already in such a terrible state, how could he possibly look good when he died?

With regards to Xue Ling’s question, the system gave this reply: “He probably wants to rush out and shout at the guests during your wedding~ and say something like ‘I told you all long ago that this was the zombie emperor, and Chu Han has been collaborating with him for a long time. All the benefits he has obtained for you all is fake, he clearly wants to dedicate the entire ability users’ society to the zombie emperor, and make all the ability users’ life no better than death’?”

Xue Ling fell into deep thought and finally had to admit that if he really came out like this, a great war would probably break out during his wedding.

“Does he really plan to do that?” After such a long period of dullness, it was rare for Xue Ling to find something that caught his interest. He wanted to experience what it felt like to be hated by everyone.

Although he knew without a doubt that even if He Yan said those words in front of everyone, he would still be able to remain invincible by relying on his absolute strength. The only person who wanted to destroy the whole world from beginning to end, was only that lord ‘world savior’, and no one else.

“No, I just imagined it in my head.” The system was also idle and bored. Because this world had experienced the apocalypse, there was no entertainment industry here at all. In previous worlds, the system could still follow TV series and read some books and such to idle away time. Everyone in this world was busy building their new home, and the development of spiritual civilization had not yet begun, so it could only watch the protagonist shou’s daily life and harass its host.

“Oh…” He was bored once again. Xue Ling stretched out and stood up, saying, “Since you can think of it, so can he. In order not to make my family’s baby unhappy, we’d better get rid of the protagonist first.”

System: “… Host, how come you’re so enthusiastic about verbally taking advantage of him recently?”

“What, I can’t take advantage of him in bed, and you won’t even let me get some verbal satisfaction?”

System: “… It’s all fine as long as you’re happy…”

It was also the first time that Xue Ling had ever seen anyone who was as tenacious as He Yan, who continued to make trouble as long as he was still alive… The key point was that he was surprisingly still alive today despite his personality and tendency to make trouble. It was amazing.

Xun Yu had been busy refining the details of the wedding these past two days. Perhaps because he had been stifled for too long, he was more concerned about this wedding than anyone could imagine. Even Xue Ling was shocked by his grand gesture, and in order not to destroy Xun Yu’s good intentions, he felt that he should probably deal with this little bug that was the protagonist shou beforehand.

He Yan had lived in Yanshan base for many years, and his handicapped leg made it very easy for others to feel sympathy for him. It had been a simple thing for him to settle down here and get along with the people around him. His tragic life over the recent years taught him not to talk about his own greatness all the time.

Because there was a lot to do for the wedding and Snow Fox Mercenary Corps was short on hands, he had been pretending to be pitiful recently and had asked others to help him mix in with the crowd of helpers. His neighbour was a kitchen helper for the wedding, and seeing how pitiful he was, had agreed yesterday to help him find a position as an assistant in the kitchen.

Perhaps he would even be able to get a free meal during the wedding banquet in a couple days.

He had been at home waiting for news, so when Xue Ling knocked at his door, he opened it without any hesitation.

When he saw Xue Ling, his face changed, though only for a few seconds. Then, he changed his expression to one of ignorance and asked, “Hello, can I help you with something?”

Xue Ling curved his lips and answered his ridiculous remarks. “What makes you think that if your hair turns white, I won’t remember your face?”

He Yan’s face suddenly turned pale.
