Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 358 The Last Wish

Wasn't he supposed to be in the Mothman's trial? How did he suddenly appear in the City of Darkness? And why had he only seen Qian Qian and her sister here? Where were the others?

As Alex pondered, footsteps approached from outside.

Alex quickly sat up, his eyes darting around the room in caution.

Creak!

The door opened, and Alex saw Qian Qian walk in.

She turned off the light and climbed into bed after removing her shoes.

Alex was about to say something when Qian Qian's soft hand touched his chest.

Alex gasped sharply and forcefully swatted her hand away.

"My king, I'm Qian Qian. Why are you being so harsh to me?" Qian Qian said, hurt.

"Don't touch me yet. Let me calm down."

Qian Qian was stunned for a moment but quickly regained her composure. She said wistfully, "I know you've lost your memory. You've forgotten me and my sister, and you've forgotten your promise to marry me."

"I lost my memory?" Alex said calmly. His mind was a chaotic mess, unable to make sense of anything.

"It doesn't matter. I don't mind," Qian Qian said gently, hugging Alex and kissing his lips.

Alex's eyes widened. He wanted to resist, but for some reason, he couldn't break free from Qian Qian's embrace. In the end, he could only watch himself become a lamb to the slaughter.

After a long time, their lips parted. Qian Qian's beautiful face was flushed, her eyes filled with spring-like affection, like a blooming rose.

Breathing heavily, Qian Qian lay on Alex's chest, looking like a delicate bird, "My king, do you still like me?"

Alex remained silent.

Qian Qian's face dimmed, her eyes reddening, "My king, am I being too forward?"

Alex stayed silent, only tightening his hold on Qian Qian.

Seeing Alex like this, Qian Qian's cheeks turned rosy again.

"My king, I love you. I will always belong to you," Qian Qian said shyly.

Then, Qian Qian leaned down, her delicate hands moving over Alex's body.

He looked down, and his pupils contracted sharply because he realized his right arm and right leg were missing.

"No wonder I felt like something was missing... It's here," Alex thought, terrified. He trembled as he drew his sword and plunged it into his heart.

Squelch.

...

When Alex awoke again, he found himself back at the beginning.

Seeing the familiar scene in front of him, Alex narrowed his eyes slightly. He had indeed underestimated these Mothmen.

"So that's how it is."

Alex spoke to himself, realizing he had been trapped in the Mothmen's illusion all along, and they had even brought some people from the City of Darkness into it.

"When I get out, I will avenge you."

Alex wasn't sure if Qian Qian was really dead or if it was part of the illusion. Regardless, once he escaped, he was determined to kill every last Mothman.

Just as his words fell, three Mothman warriors appeared in the sky, all of them mutants with supernatural abilities, clearly intent on taking Alex's life.

Seeing this, Alex snorted coldly, showing no fear.

He gripped the long sword at his waist and charged towards them, engaging in combat with the three Mothman warriors.

Though the speed of these three Mothmen was not weak, they were far inferior to Alex. After a few moves, Alex's sword had already slashed the throats of two Mothmen.

The remaining Mothman warrior fled hastily.

Alex didn't pursue; after all, these creatures had strong vitality, and even if injured, they wouldn't die easily. Allowing them to escape would only lead to trouble in the future.

Just as Alex was about to continue searching for an exit, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Because he smelled a strong stench of decay, his gaze instantly locked onto a tree and he swiftly climbed up.

Soon, Alex discovered something unusual.

There was a huge cavity on the trunk of the tree, pitch-black inside. Through the cavity, Alex vaguely saw a corpse.

The corpse was dressed in a black windbreaker, with an arrow piercing its chest, indicating that it had been dead for some time.

Alex reached out and pressed his fingers on the man's neck, then gave a slight squeeze. The corpse instantly turned into a pile of mud.

However, what was eerie was that this mud didn't dissipate; instead, it solidified in place.
