world of ruin

It was hot July, and global warming became more and more serious due to the mutation of plants in the last days.

Harbin City is located in the northernmost part of China, and it is rare to be cool in this hot summer.

The alliance meeting was held as scheduled, and Qi Ran, Ning Xuan, and Xing Yi went to Harbin City.

Gu Hao stayed at the base because of identity issues, and Grans—he was never within Qi Ran's control.

The post-apocalyptic regime has been subverted, and seniority, family background, and age are no longer important to control the base. In this era when only the strong can have the right to speak, young talents have become the rulers of the major bases.

Sun Shao, the person in charge of the Harbin Base, is a sixth-order ice-type power user. The ice-type power is a water-type variant, which is more powerful and more aggressive.

Harbin City was the official base where the leaders of Huaguo gathered before the end of the world. Sun Shao was able to walk to the center of power as a commoner. While possessing abilities, he also had means and opportunities.

Suzaku, Qinglong (Harbin City), Southwest, and Baize are known as the four major bases after the end of the world.

With the leaders and representatives of the four major bases as the center, people from many small bases came to seek attention with flattering smiles, hoping to ally with the big base and get help.

When Qi Ran and his party arrived at the scene, it was no surprise that there was a commotion.

The first is Glance's extremely eye-catching blond blue eyes, and the second is the mysterious strength that they can't see through at all.

Among the four major bases, the Baize base was established the latest, but developed the fastest.

As the initiator and host of this meeting, Sun Shao personally greeted their team.

"I've heard Mo'er mention you a long time ago, you really deserve your reputation!"

The girl Sun Shao was holding was wearing a blue lace/silk skirt, her snow-white neck was embellished with a small water crystal nucleus, her face was beautiful and pure, and she was looking at Qi Ran with her bright black eyes blinking.

Lin Mo was excited when he saw his brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and when he heard Sun Shao's words, his cheeks turned red instantly.

Watching their interaction, Qi Ran twitched his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Xiaomo is getting more and more beautiful."

Lin Mo is Aunt Qi Ran's only daughter. As the only daughter of three generations of the Qi family, she is naturally pampered.

Regardless of her identity or appearance, Lin Mo has attracted many covetous people, but the Qi family has protected her so well that she has never experienced setbacks and failures, and is pure and ignorant.

The young girl met a young man who descended like a god in a time of crisis, and she fell in love at first sight ever since.

Qi Ran heard his aunt mention this matter on the way to Harbin, so he kept his composure and observed Sun Shao silently.

He will not hinder his sister's love affair, but he must put an end to exploitation and deception.

Sun Shao led them into the magnificent hall, and the people inside all stopped what they were doing and bowed their heads slightly to show their welcome.

Sun Shao still had to meet other teams, exchanged greetings with Qi Ran and left first.

What followed was various compliments, temptations, exchanges and confrontations between politics.

When all the bases are in place, the alliance meeting officially begins.

In terms of the survival and development of human beings, the name of this alliance meeting is determined:

--Huaxia Alliance meeting.

Among Huaxia's 21 bases, except for the four major bases that have five places, only three representatives from the other bases can participate in the meeting.

In the first three days of the meeting, representatives from small bases mainly spoke. The four major bases only needed to express their views and provide material or human assistance.

The representative of the Xuzhou base had been speaking for nearly two hours. Qi Ran leaned back in his chair, watching the man's mouth spitting, and was a little distracted.

"So the defense system is the most important thing. I think it is necessary for Baize Base to inform the alliance meeting of the defense system so that we can jointly resist the invasion of zombies."

Hearing him mentioning the Baize base, Qi Ran's drifting eyes gradually focused and fixed on the face of the middle-aged representative.

The defense of Baize base was built by Qi Ran under the guidance of Glance, and the defense system far surpassing the earth unexpectedly aroused the coveted eyes of other bases.

It's just that I didn't expect it to be mentioned by such a little-known small base.

Qi Ran glanced at the representatives present, paused at Sun Shao, and smiled knowingly.

Among the four bases, because of Lu Chuan, Suzaku Base has already established a friendly alliance with Bai Ze.The Southwest base is unique because of its ethnic origin, and it is a bit odd.

Sun Shao mentioned the defense system of the Baize base before, but Qi Ran didn't respond directly at that time, and he didn't expect him to directly cooperate with the small base to put pressure on the meeting.

Ning Xuan and Qi Ran looked at each other, then called up part of the configuration of the defense system from the notebook, and put it on the big screen.

The energy of this defense system is the crystal nucleus of the zombie king in the DA base. To run the whole system, it must have energy support beyond the seventh level.

Therefore, they only provide partial configurations, and crystal nuclei above the third order can support their operation, but the defense is definitely not as good as the complete system.

Qi Ran looked at Ning Xuan talking eloquently, attracting everyone's attention, with a smile on his lips

Glance was drowsy during the boring meeting. He listened to Ning Xuan's explanation on the stage, and seeing Qi Ran's focused gaze, he suddenly felt displeased.

With the help of the table, the pale golden tentacles turned into a light and shadow, and quietly came to Qi Ran's feet.

The faint golden light was like sunlight shining on the ground, and the light patterns swayed without attracting anyone's attention.

The tentacles nimbly penetrated into the clothes, rubbing against the soft skin.

Suddenly being teased, Qi Ran's body trembled, feeling that the pores of his whole body were trembling.

-- Grans!

All of you present here are at least fifth-level supernatural power users, and he will attract the attention of the audience as long as he makes a slight change.

When Ning Xuan finished explaining and stepped down, Qi Ran's forehead was already dripping with sweat.

Glass withdrew his tentacles before his tolerance broke out, and sat upright without looking sideways.

The matter of the defense system was finalized, and they started the next topic.

After the meeting, the delegates returned to their residences, Qi Ran greeted Ning Xuan, and dragged Glance into the space.

Glance looked up at the blue sky, his heart trembling.

Well, he admitted that he was jealous just now, but he shouldn't be angry...

--Unfortunately, Qi Ran is indeed angry.

It annoyed him that he almost lost face in front of everyone, but he didn't know how to vent it to Grans.

What a headache...

Qi Ran can only remind him to be honest, not to reveal his identity.

Humans always have the idea that people who are not our race must have different ideas, not to mention that this alien is the indirect murderer that caused the end of the world.

Grans complied obediently, expressing his absolute low-key behavior.

Sun Shao arranged rooms for the representatives of the various bases, and Qi Ran asked Grans to stay in the room, and went to visit his aunt Qi Ling with Ning Xuan.

Qi Ling's husband is the principal of a famous university, R University. He comes from a scholarly family and is a full-fledged literati.

But Qi Ling is a bold and strong woman, and the two of them complement each other.

"Uncle." Qi Ran called out to Lin Guo'an who opened the door.

"Xiaoran?! Come in!" Father Lin said excitedly, and shouted into the room: "Lingling, Xiaoran is here!"

Qi Ling rushed out excitedly when she heard the movement, "Boy! You didn't come to me directly in City B, you ran back to City C by yourself, worrying us to death!" Thinking of the worries about these two children after the end of the world broke out, Getting angry.

Qi Ran said that he can't blame himself.

In "Salvation at the End of the World", he just gave up on his aunt in City B and returned home after thousands of miles. He just followed the plot.

"The situation was urgent at the time, so we didn't react well." Qi Ran said, "Later, the Shishi base was destroyed and Ah Xuan was injured. We had no choice but to leave the army."

Qi Ling's position in ZF is not to mention very important, but she also has a place. Shi Shi was directly picked up by helicopter that night, so she failed to meet Qi Ran.

She patted Qi Ran's shoulder and said, "It's fine."

The apocalypse came too suddenly, and she was in a hurry at that time, and there was no time to contact Qi Ran.

Fortunately, they're all fine.

"I heard that Dad... passed away?" Qi Ling trembled as she held Qi Ran's hand.

Qi Ran's eyelashes drooped, and his tone was low: "I'm sorry, I didn't protect Grandpa well."

He couldn't let go of Qi Bin's death. If it wasn't for his carelessness, grandpa wouldn't have died at all.

"It's not your fault, why apologize." Qi Linghong's eyes trembled slightly, "How did Dad teach you? You can't be resurrected after death. You have to carry his hope and live a more wonderful life."

No matter how sad or painful it is, it will not help. It is better to live better with the heart of the dead.

It's just hard to let go.

Thinking that she was not around when her father died, Qi Ling couldn't help crying anymore.

Looking at the crying aunt, Qi Ran felt a heavy chest.

As long as he recalled the scene of his grandfather turning into blood mist, he would suffocate in pain.

There is nothing more painful than watching a loved one die and being helpless.

Ning Xuan and Father Lin, who were beside them, looked at the two people who were in grief, and reached out their hands to hold their lover in their arms at the same time.

The sad mood only lasted for a while, and the two quickly recovered their mood.

Qi Ling wiped away her tears, saw the undisguised affection in Ning Xuan's eyes, and exchanged glances with Father Lin.

That kind of heartache and love that overflows is definitely not as simple as brotherly love.

While in doubt, the door was suddenly opened, and Lin Mo ran into the room, crying, ignoring the people in the living room.

Father Lin looked at the closed door and asked his wife worriedly, "What's wrong with Momo?"

Qi Ling frowned, she had some guesses in her heart.

Not surprisingly, it should be Sun Shao.

There was someone with supernatural powers teasing/playing with Lin Mo before, but it was Sun Shao who saved him, and the two have been in close contact since then.

Even though Qi Ling was worried that her daughter would be deceived and wanted to stop her, Lin Mo, who had just tasted love, couldn't listen to anything.

Qi Ran said to her aunt and uncle, "I'll go and have a look."

Lin Mo has always been well-behaved and obedient, this time he lost his composure and ran home and shrank himself into the room, he must have suffered some kind of grievance.

He walked to Lin Mo's door and knocked lightly.

There was no movement in the room, Qi Ran frowned worriedly.

He turned the handle, found that the door was unlocked, and went straight in.

Lin Mo was lying on her bed, sobbing softly.

"Xiaomo, what's the matter?" Qi Ran walked to her side and knelt down, and asked softly.

Lin Mo shook his head, but did not speak.

Qi Ran saw the bright red finger marks on her half-exposed face, and anger flashed in his eyes.

--The princess of their Qi family, the beloved/favored/appearing jewel of the whole family, someone dares to hurt her!

Although he was angry, he spoke softly to Lin Mo, "Xiao Mo, tell brother, what's wrong?"

"Woooo..." Lin Mo cried and fell into Qi Ran's arms, "Brother..."

After crying for a while, Lin Mo calmed down and told Qi Ran intermittently what happened just now.

After the alliance meeting, she went to look for Sun Shao, but unexpectedly met a woman.

The woman named Zhu Zimo claimed to be Sun Shao's wife. She not only satirized Lin Mo as a third party, but also slapped her.

"Wife?" Qi Ran asked, "Did Sun Shao tell you before that he was married?"

Lin Mo shook his head, heartbroken.

Unexpectedly, the so-called feelings were all her wishful thinking. Sun Shao didn't like her at all, and even had a wife.

Her first heartbeat, her first love, turned out to be a scam.

Lin Mo wiped away tears, and said to Qi Ran, "Brother, don't tell my parents about this."

Qi Ran patted her on the head lightly, "Understood, but I can't guarantee that they didn't notice."

My aunt reminded him to pay attention to Sun Shao before he came to Harbin, so he must have been alerted.

After Lin Mo regained his composure, Qi Ran and Ning Xuan bid farewell to Qi Ling and returned to their residence.

"What happened to Xiaomo?" Ning Xuan asked.

"Sun Shao didn't say that he was married, and his wife came to him." Qi Ran said.

"This bastard!" Ning Xuan scolded in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"

Qi Ran handed over the invitation in his hand.

prom--

Ning Xuan looked at the gorgeous and exquisite invitation card, and looked at Qi Ran.

"Sun Shao invited the representatives of all the bases to stay and attend the dance after the alliance meeting." Qi Ran leaned on the back of the sofa and clasped his hands, "I will let him know the consequences of deceiving Xiaomo's feelings."

The corners of his lips curled up, and his eyes were full of coldness.

Of China's four major bases, the Harbin base is the most competitive.

Besides him, there are many people who want to take that seat...

In the following meeting, Qi Ran remained calm, but he had already started to make arrangements in private.

Lin Chengan was born in a red family in the capital. He survived with difficulty in the apocalypse and escaped countless times from zombies. Now he is the captain of the strongest team in the Harbin base.

The pride of the descendants of the aristocratic family made him unwilling to submit to Sun Shao, so he secretly accumulated strength to overthrow Sun Shao.

But he didn't expect to be approached by Qi Ran in advance.

The Lin family and the Qi family have been friends for a long time, and he and Qi Ran often meet at some gatherings.

"You want to replace Sun Shao for me? Why?" Lin Chengan asked in surprise.

He had heard about the fact that Miss Qi's family Lin Mo fell in love with Sun Shao, why did Qi Ran support him instead?

Qi Ran was silent for a moment, then opened his thin lips and uttered four words:

"Personal matters."

……

Lin Chengan felt that if he hadn't known about his temperament, he would definitely suspect that he was here to tease him.

"With your help, I'm [-]% sure." Lin Chengan mused, "Sun Shao is nothing to be afraid of, but the small bases he united with are a threat."

Including the Qilin base that Qi Ran is familiar with, Sun Shao united with more than a dozen small bases to form a mutual aid alliance.

Although the scale of those bases is not large, and the rank of the leader is not very high, they are potential enemies after all, and they must be taken into account.

"Leave it to me." Qi Ran said.

No alliance is invincible, as long as there are enough interests.

On July 21, the ball was held in Shen Bing Building.

The Shenbing Building is jointly built by ice-type abilities and gold-type abilities. The whole body is crystal clear and shining. It is one of the landmark buildings of the Harbin base.

Lights, champagne, fluttering music--

This beautiful night is like a high-class party before the end of the world. It is gorgeous and relaxed, making people temporarily forget the crisis and troubles and indulge in pleasure.

Qi Ran was wearing a smoky gray suit, with a delicate and handsome face, and his thin and straight figure attracted a lot of attention.

However, compared to Glance next to him, he was extremely low-key.

Glance remained in the space for three days before finally being allowed out until the end of a league meeting.He pitifully begged Qi Ran to take him to the ball with the excuse of being imprisoned for three days, and after getting his consent, he dressed up elaborately in order to impress the audience.

The dazzling blond hair became more and more eye-catching against the crystal ice lamp, and a few mischievous strands of hair swayed gently as he walked, showing a bit of chic and unruly.

He was wearing a silver dress, and the fabric only available on higher planets perfectly set off his golden ratio figure.

Needless to say... his handsome face recognized by the universe.

Ning Xuan snorted coldly, looked at the stunningly coquettish person, put his arms around Qi Ran's shoulders, and walked aside.

Let the attracted men and women surround Glance.

--served it.

As a romantic prince, Glance did not change his color in the face of the crowd's siege, and his evil smile made the heart beat wildly like it was going to burst.

He seemed to be talking to the beauty seriously, but his mental strength was harassing Qi Ran.

"Her chest looks like it was padded, but she has the nerve to stick it on me!"

"Looking at it, it's still the best looking!"

"But what do you think of my hairstyle today?"

……

Qi Ran glanced at the figure that everyone was looking at, and reminded: "Don't go too far, there is still business."

He didn't want this great gift for Sun Shao to become a one-man show for Glance.

Glance's mental power poked at the brand in Qi Ran's sea of ​​consciousness, which attracted his stare.

"Don't worry, I won't steal classmate Lin's limelight."

The lighting of Shen Bing Building is completely supplied by the crystal core energy system, and the color changes with the properties of the crystal core, making it colorful and dreamy.

Under the gaze of everyone, Sun Shao stepped onto the rostrum and began to deliver a speech before the ball.

"Thank you for coming to this dance, and may we have a pleasant evening together."

After Sun Shao finished speaking triumphantly, the end sound fell, the light above his head suddenly dimmed, and before everyone realized what happened, a dagger was already lying across his neck.

"Who are you?" Sun Shao's tone was calm, but a trace of panic flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Who was able to come quietly behind him without being noticed by the people he arranged to protect secretly.

A low smile came from behind.

The dagger at the neck moved, and a thread of blood flowed down the neck.

Sun Shao shut his mouth, carefully looked at the person holding him hostage from the corner of his eye.

Silver docile cloth--

It was the person Qi Ran brought!

Sun Shao looked at Qi Ran's position, there was already no one there.

Some people panicked in the arena, and were quickly appeased by Lin Chengan's men, while those who resisted were also firmly suppressed, unable to move.

"It's from the Lin family. What does he want to do?"

"Isn't that the handsome guy just now? Didn't Shao Qi bring him?"

"what happened?"

People in the hall whispered and discussed in low voices.

Lin Chengan ignored Sun Shao's icy gaze and walked to his side.

"The position of the leader of the base is for those who can, everyone, I should have no objections."

The dispute over the leader of the Harbin base was too intense, so everyone reached a consensus that whoever is powerful enough to protect the entire base is the leader.

"Lin Chengan? What are you doing?" someone from Sun Shao asked.

Lin Chengan smiled contemptuously.

"Sun Shao came to power because he formed an alliance with more than a dozen bases like Qilin and Hurricane, right?"

Seeing everyone nodding, he continued: "I am honored to have the approval of Master Qi from Baize Base and Master Lu from Suzaku Base to form the Northern Alliance to help each other and defend against the enemy together."

"Really?!" Someone below exclaimed in disbelief.

Suzaku base is famous for its flexible defense and quick attack.The Baize base is admirable because of its powerful defense system and powerful abilities at the top.

These two bases are willing to form an alliance with them?

The people at the Harbin base in the field couldn't help but be moved.

Among the four major bases, Harbin base has the weakest defense, only its weapons are more advanced than other bases, if they can form an alliance with Bai Ze Suzaku, their safety will be more guaranteed.

With the backing of Qi Ran and Lu Chuan, Lin Chengan easily dealt with the people who were impetuous due to the change of power, leaving only Sun Shao's subordinates.

"What do you want?" Lin Chengan asked Qi Ran in a low voice.

Qi Ran looked at Sun Shao whose neck was firmly held by Grans, and said, "I only want him, and you can figure out the rest."

His purpose is not power, but to teach Sun Shao a lesson.

--Although this lesson is a bit harsh.

It was only when Sun Shao was locked in the room that he understood why Qi Ran partnered with Lin Chengan to overthrow him. Thinking of that stupid woman Zhu Zimo, he suddenly became angry.

Originally, he wanted to use Lin Mo to stabilize his position, but he didn't expect to lose everything because of it.

Because of his ordinary background, his foundation is not deep, and although his followers are obedient, few are sincere.

Lin Chengan did not hesitate to eradicate those who swore against him to the death.

He was born in a family, and he knew better than Sun Shao how to show both kindness and power, and to kill chickens to scare monkeys.

The change of rights has no effect on the civilians in the base. They just need a shelter. No matter who they are, as long as they can give them stability, they are willing to support them.

Sun Shao's lonely family was detained by Qi Ran, and he was extremely annoyed.

When Lin Mo came to see him, his eyes were red because he hadn't slept all night, and his clothes were messy, which was very different from his neat and handsome appearance before.

Lin Mo looked at him with mixed feelings.

She didn't expect that because of her grievance, her brother would directly subvert Sun Shao's power, just to vent her anger.

"Xiaomo!" Seeing her, Sun Shao shouted excitedly, "Xiaomo! I love you! Don't believe what that woman Zhu Zimo said!"

He stretched out his handcuffed hands towards Lin Mo, who backed away slightly, with a cold expression on his face.

Although she is simple, she is not ignorant.

Of course, she didn't believe everything Zhu Zimo said, so she investigated it herself.

But the fact... She couldn't accept it.

In order to get help from the Qi family, Sun Shao not only used her feelings, but also abandoned his wife and son, causing the poor child who was less than two years old to almost die in City B.

She can tolerate concealment, but not deception.

Lin Mo tried hard to suppress the tears that were about to overflow his eyes, told him to do it for himself, and left the room.

"Xiaomo! Xiaomo!"

Sun Shao shouted at the top of his lungs, Lin Mo paused, and finally did not look back.

Qi Ran looked at the tears streaming down her cheeks, walked over and wiped them away with his hands.

"Let's go home."

The author has something to say:

The plot development of the extra episode is relatively fast, so it is not counted in the main text.
