My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

"Ruoxue, are you really alright?" Li Kai looked at Yu Ruoxue, whose face was pale, with concern. Her condition was really bad.

"No, I'm fine." Yu Ruoxue gently shook her head, but her tightly clenched lips betrayed her true state.

"Sigh, I understand how the young lady feels. After all, the boss is a very low-spirited person," Wang Gang sighed softly, his expression unreadable. "It's almost here, and I imagine she's feeling quite down."

"Is that so?" Li Kai glanced ahead casually, and the residential area surrounded by mountains quietly came into view.

"It really is a wonderful place. If it weren't for the apocalypse, I probably would never have seen a place like this in my entire life," Li Kai sighed leisurely.

The gap between wealth and social class is like an insurmountable chasm, impossible to cross, weighing heavily on everyone's chest.

"But does this mean I have the potential to break everything, as long as I can?" Thinking of this, Li Kai's thoughts drifted far away again, completely unaware of the strangeness of the girl in front of him.

"We're here! This is it!" Wang Gang pointed to the entrance and shouted happily.

The gate fence was slightly dilapidated, with dark red bloodstains splattered on it. Despite repeated wiping, the stains could not be completely erased.

On a high platform not far away, a young man lazily yawned, holding an awkwardly made longsword in his hand, which probably only served as a deterrent.

"There are guards here? Has an organization formed here?" Li Kai muttered to himself in confusion. "A spontaneous group formed by survivors?"

As Wang Gang approached the gate, he coughed heavily several times.

"Huh? Who's who?!" The young man jolted awake, nervously looking around before finally fixing his gaze on something directly below. "Old man..."

"Cough cough!!"

"Big brother, you're back." Seeing Wang Gang's blinking eyes, the young man immediately changed his address.

"Big Brother? That's a peculiar way to address him!" Li Kai looked curiously at the young man whose legs were trembling. "That reaction is so strange?"

"Haha, that's just what everyone calls me, don't worry about it, right, Xiao Zhang?" Wang Gang patted the young man who ran down to greet him and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, please come in. I still need to continue my post, so I won't bother you any longer." Xiao Zhang's expression stiffened, and then he said with a smile that was more like a grimace.

"Do you know him?" Li Kai turned to look at Yu Ruoxue.

"No," Yu Ruoxue shook her head slightly, then seemed to be lost in thought again.

"Alright, let's keep going. We can't waste too much time." Wang Gang led the two of them forward.

"What is he afraid of?" Li Kai wondered, looking at the trembling figure behind him.

"Phew, that scared me to death! I almost let it slip. I need to notify them right away. I'm so sorry, but there's nothing I can do!" After everyone left, Xiao Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead with difficulty and then quickly pulled on the long rope behind him.

"Will the food and drink problem be solved here?" Li Kai looked at the scene in the community with curiosity, after all, people from the countryside have not seen much of the world.

"Water is manageable, since we have an unpolluted river here. It was originally just for sightseeing, but it has unexpectedly become a lifesaver. However, for now, we can only search for food outside."

"I see. It looks like you've had a tough time," Li Kai couldn't help but remark. Death isn't scary; what's scary is how you struggle to survive.

"There's nothing we can do, it's what we should do," Wang Gang said modestly, scratching the back of his head.

"Why haven't we seen many people along the way? Judging from the houses, there should be quite a few, right?"

“Right now, everyone has to stay home, afraid of running into zombies.” Wang Gang curled his lip in dissatisfaction, his words full of disdain.

"is it?"

"Big brother, you're back!" Not far from the central villa, two figures stood up respectfully to greet each other, and their words were surprisingly in unison.

"No need to be so polite, just a casual greeting is fine," Wang Gang said with a friendly wave and a smile.

"Do you know everyone? They seem quite afraid of you," Li Kai asked casually.

“After all, I used to be the head of security, so I still have that kind of presence.” Wang Gang not only didn’t refute, but answered without any attempt to hide his true feelings.

“Now that we’re here, Miss should know the exact route, so I won’t disturb you any longer.” After leading the two into the villa, Wang Gang respectfully stepped back.

"Thank you," Yu Ruoxue said casually, then walked straight towards the stairwell.

"This is my home? I've actually come back here again," Yu Ruoxue murmured to herself, seemingly oblivious to her surroundings, occasionally touching the scenery around her as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Li Kai quickly followed, then said apologetically, "I'm really sorry about her attitude."

"It's alright, please go ahead. Oh, and if you get hungry later, I'll bring you some food." Wang Gang smiled憨厚ly, then turned and left, but a creepy smile appeared on his lips the moment he turned his head.

Watching the departing figure, Li Kai shook his head. His experience was far too limited; he couldn't possibly judge the situation. "Could he be a good person? How do I explain everything that happened before?"

"No, something must be wrong. It's definitely not as simple as I thought!" Li Kai, walking slowly, recalled the scene he'd witnessed. The atmosphere was incredibly strange; everyone seemed to have lost their composure, filled with fear and dread.

"Ruoxue, wait a minute, there might be a problem inside!" Li Kai shouted loudly as he watched Yu Ruoxue about to step into the room.

Seemingly ignoring Li Kai's shouts, Yu Ruoxue pushed open her own door.

"Seriously, what's wrong with this girl today? She's acting strangely!" Li Kai muttered to himself, but could only step inside with her.

As soon as Li Kai stepped into the room, he heard the girl's panicked cries, "How come there's nothing here?"

"Nothing? It's completely empty here!" Li Kai looked around at the empty space and suddenly realized.

"Damn it, everything that guy said was a lie!"

"Click!" The door slammed shut abruptly, and at the same time, a pungent smell began to waft from the ventilation vent.

"What the hell is this?!" Li Kai felt his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred, the images in front of him becoming shaky, and finally he fell straight to the ground, his consciousness slowly sinking into darkness.
