My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

"What happened to me before?" After an unknown amount of time, Li Kai, clutching his throbbing head, slowly propped himself up. His whole body felt like it was falling apart, and his head felt swollen, as if it were blocked.

The side effects of forcibly not fully liberating oneself? The price is really too high! In no time, Li Kai understood the reason for his current physical condition.

But where is this? Li Kai stared at the blanket covering him, as if he had been carried here after losing consciousness. The others...

"Huh? You're awake?!" A joyful shout suddenly interrupted his thoughts, and he could vaguely make out the girl's appearance.

"Ruoxue?" Li Kai managed to utter, his hoarse voice making him doubt whether it was really him.

"Thank goodness you're finally awake!" Yu Ruoxue murmured as she saw Li Kai sit up, her red eyes still glistening with tears.

"What's wrong? Hey, don't cry!" Li Kai shouted in a panic as he saw the girl suddenly start sobbing softly.

"You bastard, you're such a bastard!" Yu Ruoxue threw herself into his arms, her pink fists pounding his chest.

"Okay, okay, I am a jerk, but can you tell me why?" Li Kai gently patted the girl's back and comforted her softly.

"You...you've been unconscious for three days," Yu Ruoxue said haltingly.

"Three days? You were unconscious for that long?!" Li Kai exclaimed in surprise. He had thought it was only one night, but he hadn't expected the aftereffects to be so severe.

"Otherwise what? How could you be so careless with your body?" Yu Ruoxue couldn't help but pinch the soft flesh on his waist in anger.

"No, it's all good after all," Li Kai explained with a laugh, but couldn't the little hand on his waist loosen its grip a bit?

"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you did. Even though you're unconscious, you still..." Just as Yu Ruoxue, whose anger was at its peak, was about to vent her frustration, she was pulled into a hug.

"I'm so sorry to have made you worry," Li Kai said sincerely, holding the girl's soft, boneless body.

"I know, I definitely won't allow it next time," Yu Ruoxue whispered, her face burning.

"Of course!" Li Kai answered without hesitation, unless he encountered...

"Then let me go quickly!" After a long while, Yu Ruoxue twisted her body and said very uncomfortably.

"Huh? It's warmer this way," Li Kai said with a shameless smile, his face displaying an extremely lewd expression.

"You...you're being a scoundrel!" Yu Ruoxue angrily denounced his shameless behavior, but she couldn't think of a good word to describe it.

"No, I'm a patient, please be understanding," Li Kai said, his face pale, his trembling body on the verge of collapse.

"Really?" Yu Ruoxue asked worriedly, hearing the trembling voice.

"Ugh, my head still hurts so much," Li Kai said weakly, shaking his head.

"Wait a minute, where are you putting your hands?!" Yu Ruoxue was just about to give in when a strange sensation from her back made her suddenly realize something.

"They just don't obey orders," Li Kai said, unceremoniously shifting the blame.

"You shameless person!!" Yu Ruoxue angrily pushed him away, realizing she had actually believed him!

"You're just going to fend for yourself here!!"

"Really, it's not good for a girl to have such a bad temper, cough cough!!" Looking at Yu Ruoxue who ran away in a huff and puff, Li Kai suddenly covered his lips and coughed.

"The current situation is not good. I don't know how long it will take to recover. I hope nothing else will happen." Li Kai shook his head and then picked up a piece of paper to wipe his palm, but the bright red blood clot was particularly glaring.

"The midday sun is really blinding," Li Kai said, squinting as he walked slowly. The blazing sun overhead made it hard to open his eyes.

"I have to say, the air quality in the apocalypse is so much better, but I also miss the exhaust fumes. It's such a dilemma!" Li Kai rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on. Both options were pretty good.

"Hey, buddy, you're finally awake!" Just as Li Kai was filled with emotion, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Huh? You guys haven't left yet?" Li Kai asked in confusion, having thought that Yu Ruoxue was the only one there.

"Alala, you saved our lives, how could you leave so easily at a time like that?" Furong smoothed her hair and said with a smile.

"Even so, I still want to thank you all for these past two days," Li Kai said sincerely. During the three days he was unconscious, without their help, it would probably have been even worse if Yu Ruoxue had taken care of him alone.

"No, no, the person you should thank the most is that girl. She stayed by your side every step of the way." Furong said with a wink.

"Really? That girl is really stubborn." Thinking of Yu Ruoxue's expression earlier, Li Kai sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, so young man, cherish every moment," Furong patted his shoulder meaningfully, then turned and left.

"Huh? Huh! What are you talking about?!" After being stunned for several seconds, Li Kai rolled his eyes, his face full of black lines. What on earth are you thinking?!

"Hmm," Yu Ruoxue stared at herself, her resentful gaze heartbreaking.

"I mean, is it really necessary to hate me this much?" Li Kai, feeling uneasy under his gaze, finally couldn't help but ask.

"Hmph!" Yu Ruoxue tilted her head and completely ignored his question.

"Looks like something interesting has happened," Hibiscus said, watching the two locked in a cold war with great interest. This was just too amusing!

"Brother Li, where do you plan to go next?" Li Jing asked kindly. "Your health hasn't fully recovered yet, has it?"

"It's all fine now. Next, we should prepare to leave the city," Li Kai said slowly, resting his head on his hand.

"In that case, our plan to go deeper into the city will probably be a reverse journey."

"Huh? Are we going to separate from you, little brother? I still want to cling to your leg!" Furong cried out sweetly, clinging to Li Jing's arm.

"It's okay, we'll meet again someday, no need to be too sad." Li Kai scratched his cheek awkwardly. Did he really have to be so blunt?

"What a pair of weirdos! I wonder if we'll ever see each other again. I guess we'd better not!" Li Kai, walking down the street, wrapped himself up tightly in fear. If this went on for too long, things might get weird!

"It seems like something's there," Yu Ruoxue frowned, looking at the distance. Could this feeling be...?

"Huh? What's wrong?" Li Kai asked kindly.

"No, let's hurry up and leave." Yu Ruoxue shook her head and walked quickly forward.

"At least wait for me a moment!"

In the deserted, abandoned street, a cold breeze blew across the dried bloodstains. As the sound gradually faded into the air, a strange figure suddenly appeared at the intersection.

"Hmm? The source should be this place. There's something interesting ahead, really interesting!" The man frowned as he looked at the dissipating aura, then excitedly licked his lips as he gazed ahead.

"Ugh, so boring, Brother Jing," Furong said, walking along the empty road, feeling utterly bored. It was just too quiet around her.

"There's nothing I can do about it. It would be troublesome if I weren't bored," Li Jing explained frankly.

"Ugh, you're such a blockhead!" Hibiscus retorted angrily.

"Huh? What am I? Wait, who is it?!" Li Jing suddenly turned his head towards the telephone pole behind him, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"Oh? You've spotted me too. Looks like I might want to consider this." The man's figure slowly appeared in front of them.

"When?" Li Jing looked at the man who had suddenly appeared in front of him. Wasn't he just there a moment ago?

"So, question one: where is the guy who killed my pet?"

"what are you talking about?"

Question two: Was there a pretty girl with him?

"Hey, at least give me some time!"

"Since you won't answer, then I'll have to find it myself." The man shook his head and walked straight ahead.

"This is clearly an attempt to avoid answering our questions!"

"This guy seems to be looking for trouble."

"Oh? Looks like you're planning to resist?" The man looked at the two tense figures with interest, a chilling smile playing on his lips.

"Drive liberation!"

"Not bad weapon, perfect as a temporary substitute!" the man muttered arrogantly to himself, his eyes, hidden by his black hair, flashing with a bloodthirsty light.
