Dong Xinxin spent a few seconds staring at Lin Wenwen’s face, then sighed, “You’re pretty! Why didn’t you tell us your full name?”

If they knew who she really was, they would be able to help her after the apocalypse. With their help, her sister wouldn’t be so unprepared for the disaster and end up losing her base and life.

Being reminded by Dong Xinxin, the other three in the room instantly turned to look at Lin Wenwen’s face. Before, they were all thinking about who Wen really was, and then they found her face familiar. As they were all focusing on her identity, none of them paid attention to how pretty she was.

After hearing what Dong Xinxin said, the three started looking at her carefully. They had seen her pictures before, but to their surprise, she looked prettier in person. She looked largely different from the girl in the pictures though. Now, she didn’t look like the Lin Wenwen from Hades Base, but very much like Wen that they knew seven years ago.

Lin Wenwen had also been looking at Dong Xinxin from head to toe. “Hmm, not bad!” she nodded and said, “At least, you didn’t regain the weight that I managed to lose for you!”

After saying that, she walked to the couch and found a place to sit down, then answered Dong Xinxin’s question, “I know what you wanted to say. You wanted to say that if you knew who I really was, you’d be helping me or my sister during the past seven years. But, when I was wearing your skin, I didn’t want to change my current situation. If you helped me before I met you, the lives of my family and me would be different. All Beings Base might not exist now. With your help, my sister might not have died, but it was her death that created my today.”

More importantly, her sister had come back to life. She built a new base, and she was now stronger than before by many times over. Her sister was at least three times stronger than she was a year ago. Also, she was now a zombie emperor who would never die.

If she let Dong Xinxin and her friends change the lives of her and her family, her sister wouldn’t become such a powerful being. In the second explosion of the zombie virus, her mother became a zombie. If her sister weren’t a zombie, and if she didn’t have the space and the lake in it, her mother would be slaughtered right in front of them as a zombie.

Her sister was now living with another identity, but she didn’t abandon her family. That was enough; no change needed to be made.

Lin Wenwen didn’t look sad because of the death of her big sister, so Dong Xinxin felt like she was unable to understand her. With confusion, she looked at her in the eyes and asked, “But, you lost your sister. Don’t you regret it?”

Lin Wenwen knew that Dong Xinxin cared about her sincerely. However, she could not tell the latter the truth. So, she responded to her vaguely, “For some things, changing the past might not deliver the most ideal result. Perhaps, things would turn out for the worse.”

If Lin Qiao didn’t come back to life and become Lu Tianyu, she would certainly do something to try and change that when she went back to seven years ago. However, her sister was still alive now, and her life was even better than before. Hence, the current situation did not need to be changed.

Dong Xinxin and the others looked at each other with confusion. None of them understood Lin Wenwen’s words. However, as she didn’t seem to regret at all, Dong Xinxin decided not to ask further questions.

It was indeed the death of the leader of Hades Base that created the current Lin Wenwen. She was no longer a proud, spoiled girl, but more like a survivor in the post-apocalyptic era. She had cut off her long hair, but she was still pretty.

Dong Xinxin sat down beside her and said, “The day the apocalypse arrived, I woke to find that you were gone. That small space of mine was gone too. I couldn’t sense your vibe, so I guessed that you might have come straight back here. So, during the past seven years, I’ve been waiting all the time. I believed that you’d be looking for us when you came back.”

Lin Wenwen nodded knowingly and said, “No wonder you guys never joined Sea City Base. Have you been waiting for me? Isn’t Sea City Base good? Why didn’t you settle down here?”

She didn’t understand. Dong Xinxin was fully prepared before the apocalypse. The supplies that she had stored were enough to even support a small base for many years. If they offered a part of those supplies to Sea City Base, their status in the base would be completely different. Why were they waiting for her? In the past, she didn’t tell Dong Xinxin and her family much about herself. But still, they spent seven years waiting for her, without making the decision to settle down. Why?

The look on Dong Xinxin’s face grew a little complicated at that moment. She glanced at Dong Lijia, who was narrowing his eyes again, then looked at Lin Wenwen and said, “Em, it does have something to do with you. At first, I was indeed planning to settle down here in Sea City. However, before we made that decision, I suddenly had a feeling that this place is probably not the best place for us to live in the post-apocalyptic era. After that, I spent days considering, then decided to give up on Sea City Base, and to wait for you to show up.”

“No way!” Lin Wenwen looked at her with surprise and said, “Have you triggered the power of predicting the future? Is your current superpower still time traveling?”

It seemed that Dong Xinxin had attained the power of foreseeing the future. But, why did she wait for Lin Wenwen? Would something bad happen in Sea City Base?

Dong Xinxin shook her head and said, “It’s not that kind of superpower. It’s just some kind of keen sensation, like how animals sense danger. I can’t explain. I never felt the same about other things.”

Lin Wenwen had roughly understood her meaning. She nodded, then turned to the other three. After that, she couldn’t help but look at Dong Xinxin again and ask, “Deng Chenfei looks not so different from before, but what has happened to Luo Yuanjun and your brother? The sun can be hot after the apocalypse, but it wouldn’t turn his skin so dark, would it?”

Seeing the confused look on Lin Wenwen’s face, Dong Xinxin smiled and showed a pair of dimples. “Oh, it might have something to do with his superpower,” she said, “Guess, what’s his power?”

Lin Wenwen turned to look at Luo Yuanjun questioningly, “This is the first time I heard that superpower can change the skin color. I thought he got tanned on purpose.”

“I’m not brain-damaged. Why would I want to turn my skin so dark?” Luo Yuanjun immediately disproved Lin Wenwen’s ridiculous guess.

Lin Wenwen looked at him and said straightforwardly, “That’s not impossible. The apocalypse could damage your brain.”

After saying that, she shrugged and looked at Luo Yuanjun, who had no idea how to continue that conversation.
