Chapter 167: 167
Ming Shu hugged her biscuits and leaned against the steering wheel, watching the guys in front of her fighting over a girl . Xu Shuo suddenly said this to her and she replied, “I am not a man . ”

“Don’t pretend that you don’t understand . ” Xu Shuo glared at her . “We should have been married six years ago . If you hadn’t ran away, our children would be running around now . ”
I can still try my luck . Who knows, she might suddenly be blind?
Apparently, Ming Shu was not blind . “Too bad I ran away . ”
Xu Shuo: “…” You are quite proud of what you did .
What is there to be proud of .
Xu Shuo started talking about major principles . “As survivors of the human race and with the presence of resources, don’t you think that we should make some contributions to humanity?”
“I don’t . ” I am very busy .
Who wants to have children with you .
“Don’t you think our children would be very smart? They might become leaders in the new era . ”
“They might be as stupid as you . ”
“…” How am I stupid?
I’ve sacrificed so much and you’re still looking down on me?
I think it’s better if I just get a knife and kill her .
No matter what Xu Shuo said, Ming Shu firmly rejected him
Ming Shu didn’t stop moving . She continued to drive her car and roamed around, going places which had food .
Although the world was still in tatters, it was full of hope .
Ming Shu went back and looked for Ye Ji’an . However, Ye Ji’an was very busy and after confirming that Ming Shu was okay, he asked her to play by herself .
Ming Shu continued roaming in her car .
One day, Xu Shuo was sitting in the car and asked curiously, “You brought so many zombies with you when you drove around . However, I know that you avoided some cities and left more areas for survivors to live . Ye Miao, I really don’t understand you . ”
He had been thinking about this for a long time .
And never found an answer .
Ming Shu was stunned for a while . She lowered her head and smiled . “You don’t need to understand me . ”

I don’t need anyone to understand me .
She raised her head and looked far away, saying arrogantly, “A king is meant to be lonely . ”
Xu Shuo: “…” Where’s my knife!
Xu Shuo didn’t have the time to find his knife . There was an earthquake .
A sudden earthquake .
The whole world seemed to be shaking fervently . The ground split, forming many crevices .
The car fell into one and could no longer move anymore .
Xu Shuo watched as Ming Shu got out of the car . He saw the smile from her profile . Her smile seemed to have frozen at that moment .
It was beautiful and gorgeous .
The car door closed and her face slowly disappeared .
That moment, Xu Shuo felt something inexplicable .
He quickly opened the shaking door and stepped onto the road . The shaking stopped immediately .
Silence .
Time seemed to have stopped .
It was ten days after the earthquake .
Xu Shuo drove the car and traveled along the cracked roads .
Beside him, on the passenger’s seat, there sat a box with white flowers and some old snacks inside .
Xu Shuo glanced sideways and stared quietly at the box .
Sometimes he wondered, if he got off the car first, would she still be alive?
He should hate her .
But why did he feel so sad when he saw her body covered in blood?
The girl who always carried a slight smile was gone .

The girl who always bickered with him was gone .
What was their last conversation about?
Yes…
“A king is always lonely . ”
However, she was not a king yet .
Xu Shuo recounted the memories he made with her for the past five years . It seemed like just yesterday that her gentle voice sounded through the air, accompanied by her smile .
Xu Shuo blinked and winded down the car window, letting the wind flow through his fingers .
Very cold .
So cold it reached his bones .
He couldn’t tell if it was the wind that was cold or if it was something else .
The car stopped near a hill . The surroundings were filled with nice mountains and clear streams . It didn’t look like it had experienced Doomsday .
Xu Shuo sat in front of a new tomb and set down the fruits one by one, speaking to himself: “It’s hard to find food now . Eat these slowly . ”
“But it’s okay, I have planted fruit trees around you . They will bear fruit soon . ”
“Very soon…”
[Lord Nine, do you love her?] the system asked carefully .
“Love her? How is that possible . ” Xu Shuo immediately denied it . “I remember the rules, how can I love my target?
[But your face says “I fell out of love . ”]
Xu Shuo said, “I spent so much time with her . Even a dog will have some emotions . ”
I don’t like her .
Not cute at all .
Hmph!
[…] Luckily she’s not here . Otherwise, Lord Nine would have been beaten to death .
The system could communicate with Xu Shuo, but it couldn’t know what he was thinking . Thus, the system did not know the answer .
But that was not important . To ensure that the missions were safe and stable, the memories would be cleared once he went back .
No matter how much they loved each other in this world, he would forget everything once they returned .
Xu Shuo stared at the tombstone that didn’t bear many words .
The wind started blowing .
It blew passed the shoots that just sprouted and blew past the trees .
Very soon, he would forget everything .
Like he never experienced any of it at all .
After a long time, he might be able to get back his memories .
He could see the memories then…
It was just a stranger that entered his life .
Xu Shuo lifted his hand and touched the tombstone . He gave a chuckle sometime later .
“Goodbye, Ye Miao . ”
The wind got stronger and blew up a few leaves .
The tombstone remained silent .
When Ming Shu returned to the Cloud Room, her vision was still black, the same as during the earthquake .
She shivered slightly . “Can you inform me before I die? That was so scary . ”
[This is more surprising . ] The Harmony System’s voice was calm as usual .
Surprise your head .
The screen appeared in front of Ming Shu .
The information got listed out .
Name: Ming Shu
Hatred Points: 26000
Additional Task: Incompleted
“So little?”
[Because the additional task was not completed . ] the Harmony System explained kindly .
Ming Shu touched her chin . “Harmony System, do you find Xu Shuo weird?”
[What is weird about him?]
“I pissed him off so much, but he didn’t hate me . Isn’t this weird?”
[There are many different kinds of people in the world . You will meet people with different personalities along the way . Why would that be weird? There is no need to be worried about this . He is just a passing stranger . ]
“Really?”
[Yes . ]
The Harmony System paused . [If you feel that these memories are bothering you, I can help you wipe them away . ]
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows . “You have this ability?”
[Please don’t underestimate me . ] I have a lot of abilities .
“I don’t have a habit of letting people wipe away my memories . Forget about it . ”
The Harmony System didn’t force Ming Shu .
Ming Shu put her hands behind her back and loitered around for a while, thinking about something .
“Can I pick the next world?” She never wanted to go anywhere similar to Doomsday ever again .
[Sorry, you can’t pick for now . ]
“Which means I can in the future?”
[Yes . If your Hatred Points reached one million, you can activate the system store and pick the world you want to go to . ]
Ming Shu silently stared at her 26000 Hatred Points .
She wanted to laugh in the Harmony System’s face .
