[No saintly heroine + decisive and ruthless + siscon + actor brother + mutual devotion]
“Big brother! Hang in there! Wait for me to save you!”
That was all she managed to say before the connection cut out.
Jiang Chen didn’t wait for Jiang Zhi to save him.
He made a base at the school, hunted down every monster along the way in three months, and cleared the thousand-mile wasteland three times over.
Every beast’s nest was razed, and the character “Zhi” was carved at every dangerous spot.
Jiang Zhi thought Jiang Chen was struggling to survive in the isolated city.
She ruined three maps, wore through ten rolls of bandages, and risked everything to cross the deadlands. At last, she reached Jiangcheng.
He stood there, slender and quiet, as if he had been waiting for her a long time.
From then on, she charged ahead while he followed behind. She planned their route, and he obediently did as he was told.
She thought she was protecting the weakest brother in the world.
Yet every time they were on the brink of disaster, they were rescued by chance, and every enemy met a mysterious death.
And another thing!
Why do these skeletons look so familiar?!
Only when the sky split open and the beings from beyond descended did the truth begin to emerge.
Every stretch of smooth road she had traveled was a path home that Jiang Chen had paved for her three times over, using billions of dead souls.
And yet she thought she had been the one saving him all along.
In truth, Jiang Chen had already laid the entire road at her feet.
