2: Am I...reborn?

"Ahhh!"

"Help!"

"Run! Run!"

Screams of despair echoed through Plum Blossom Base.

Ability Users and soldiers all looked at Bai Wanning; for her deceased son, she had turned the entire base upside down.

The Research Center was destroyed, and the researchers, regardless of age, were all killed by her.

"Wanning, calm down, we can still talk," Ling Rui, an Ability User, said to Bai Wanning.

He hoped Bai Wanning would calm down and think rationally; the deceased was gone, but if Bai Wanning continued like this, she would also be killed.

The base's high-ranking officials had already ordered all Ability Users to take her down; if this continued, it would only be a pyrrhic victory!

"Talk? These beasts dragged my son here to tear him apart and stitch him back together, yet they didn't talk to me?" Bai Wanning asked, standing on a water cloud suspended in the air.

Her long, dark hair flew behind her, and under the red sky of the Apocalypse, she looked like an immortal descending to earth for revenge.

Bai Wanning clutched the pendant with her son's photo tightly, looking down at the Ability Users below her.

"There's no time!" she said coldly, flipping her hand and pointing to the sky, and instantly, the entire sky was covered by dark clouds.

Soon, water droplets began to fall from the sky, but this water was not cold and refreshing; instead, it was scalding, acidic droplets.

"Wanning!" Ling Rui screamed as he felt the scalding droplets melt on his skin. "You're insane!"

"Insane? Am I insane?" Bai Wanning smiled at the man, looking utterly composed.

"Tell me who those high-ranking officials are and where they're hiding, and perhaps I can come to my senses. Or even better, call them over, and I'll kill them immediately!"

Before her words finished, a thorny vine pierced through her abdomen.

Bai Wanning looked at Li Yaping, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

"Ha! Did you think we were just here for show?" the woman sneered, looking at her.

Bai Wanning knew Li Yaping and knew that this woman had always been jealous of her. She looked down at the woman mocking her and said with a smile, "No, of course not."

Then, several loud bangs came from behind Bai Wanning, and the walls of the entire base, along with the granary and resource depot, collapsed one after another.

Li Yaping's triumphant smile vanished as she watched the destruction Bai Wanning caused.

"You..." Li Yaping looked at the smiling woman before her; although she was at the end of her life, she seemed to be dragging them all down with her.

"See you in hell."

On the eleventh year of the Apocalypse, the entire Plum Blossom Base fell victim to the wrath of a heartbroken mother.

----

"Bai Wanning, are you listening to me?"

Bai Wanning opened her eyes in confusion, looked around the cafe she was sitting in, and then turned her gaze to the man in front of her.

"Jiang Ziming?" What was this scoundrel doing here? Hadn't she killed him in the third year of the Apocalypse? How was he still alive, sitting in front of her?

"Bai Wanning, what are you looking at me for?! Hurry up and sign the documents! What's the point of wasting time like this? Director Peng is not a patient man!" Jiang Ziming frowned and severely reprimanded Bai Wanning; for no apparent reason, it seemed as if Bai Wanning owed this scoundrel something.

Director Peng? Bai Wanning blinked, carefully examining Jiang Ziming.

The next second she froze, because she realized that this was the Jiang Ziming she had taken care of; more precisely, the person in front of her was Jiang Ziming before the Apocalypse.

This man, along with her half-sister and her fiancé, had conspired against her, causing her to be scorned by the entire nation.

Oh, and of course, her father and dear stepmother had also helped them; it was her stepmother who drugged her, and her father who sent her to a man's bed.

As for her half-sister Bai Xue and Su Hu, they were the ones who uploaded the photos to social media!

These scoundrels!

And that contract—if Bai Wanning remembered correctly, it was a termination agreement.

She had felt heartbroken before, thinking her mental state wasn't good and that she had let Su Hu down.

After all, she had been forced into another man's bed by her father, and the internet was full of complaints about her, so she signed the contract without reading it.

She never expected that her good assistant had added a clause to the contract: instead of giving her a termination fee, the role was given to Bai Xue!

Although the movie couldn't be released due to the Apocalypse crisis, Bai Xue received a generous salary for that role and accumulated enough resources for the Apocalypse, as for her—she was left all alone!

But that wasn't the end of it; after waking up, her shameless father brought his mistress and daughter to find her, pleading bitterly and promising he would change his ways.

Bai Wanning was too young and too foolish.

Because she had grown up under the oppression of Bai Xue and her group, her temper was as soft as a persimmon, easily manipulated by anyone.

It was precisely because of her temper that her son was sold! It was because Su Hu and the others thought they could do whatever they wanted, and Bai Wanning wouldn't dare say anything.

Seeing that Bai Wanning wouldn't sign the contract, only staring at it without moving, Jiang Ziming immediately became annoyed.

He raised his voice and said sarcastically, "Bai Wanning, do you still think you're a big star? Your reputation has been ruined these past few days, causing so much negative impact on the company; don't blame me for being harsh on you."

His voice was loud enough for the customers in the cafe to hear, and they all turned to look at Bai Wanning, whispering like angry bees buzzing and echoing.

"Bai Wanning? That shameless woman who slept with an investor despite having a fiancé?"

"I thought she was a good woman, but it turns out she also climbed the ladder through connections, tsk tsk tsk."

"She was my goddess... sigh, you can't trust anyone these days."

"How shameless, doing something like that and still causing trouble for her agent."

"Engaged and still sleeping with investors, what else can you expect from her?"

All sorts of rumors and gossip were directed at Bai Wanning, and Jiang Ziming smiled triumphantly.
