Epilogue:
After humanity faced the great apocalypse, the first year of the new era began.
In the sixth year of the apocalypse, the Lighthouse, which had previously defected, returned.
Resources were shared.
The upper echelon who harbored ill intentions and attempted to control the Lighthouse were executed, branded as traitors to humanity's survivors.
Qin Chuan, the enforcement captain of the Lighthouse, made a great contribution by exposing Xia Jin, who had been continuously spreading the zombie mutation virus, successfully capturing him.
In the same year, the zombie vaccine was successfully developed and began systematic nationwide inoculation.
The child, Yueyue, who possessed initial antibodies, was adopted by a middle-aged female entrepreneur named Xu Yan.
It was rumored that this Xu Yan was no ordinary person; she was a renowned entrepreneur before the apocalypse, and after its onset, she leveraged her network and intelligence to establish her own enterprise within the Lighthouse.
The sole special operations captain within the Lighthouse was a female captain named Zhou Haimei, who led a special patrol team composed entirely of women.
Amidst the gradually recovering social order, they protected the safety of the remaining female survivors.
The era where women were treated as commodities for exchange during the apocalypse was gone forever.
Women were independent individuals, not playthings, even in the face of the apocalypse.
Later, after the Lighthouse submitted to the Southern Base, it made significant contributions to the economic development of the new society.
Captain Chu Yu, having gone undercover in the Lighthouse, worked with Qin Chuan from the inside and outside, eliminating all counter-revolutionary elements within the Lighthouse and earning great merit. She later became the commander of the Southern Base.
Everyone found a bright future.
Xu Yan seemed to have forgotten she once had a daughter. After bringing Yueyue back, she renamed her Xu Yue.
However, that is another story...
After receiving the vaccine, as the zombies were gradually eradicated, human society gradually began to restore order.
Although current human society seemed to have regressed by five thousand years, everyone had returned to a primitive societal state of men farming and women weaving.
But we believe that as long as we live, human civilization will surely usher in a brand new tomorrow.
Whether it is the last five thousand years or the next five thousand years, humanity will undoubtedly recover its prosperity.
It is worth mentioning that in the following year, after six years without a single newborn in the entire human world, the news of the first newborn's birth arrived.
That clear cry represented the rebirth and hope of humanity.
Endless life, passed down through generations.
This marks the grand finale of this story. To all the readers who have reached this point, I, Shisan, truly want to say thank you. I know I have many shortcomings, and this story contains many loopholes, but for those who have persevered to read this far, you are truly my dearest fans. I've been contemplating what kind of ending would be fitting for this story, but it seems no ending can fully express my reluctance to part. This book has been written intermittently for about half a year, and now it's truly time to say goodbye. I'm truly at a loss for words. Despite its many flaws, I will continue to write, hoping to present myself in a better light in my next work. Finally, I sincerely thank you all for accompanying me these past six months. This journey with Xu An comes to an end, and I hope we meet again.
Goodbye, Xu An!
Goodbye, dear readers!
