My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

"Hey, are we there yet?" The girl sitting in the passenger seat looked listlessly into the boundless distance. All she could see was desolation and bleakness.

"It'll be soon, I estimate it's not far off," the young man driving the car explained calmly, though he himself wasn't entirely sure.

“But you seem to have estimated it many times,” the girl biting her finger pointed out without hesitation, exposing his lie.

"Um, about that question... cough cough, the weather's really nice today!" The embarrassed boy looked up at the sky and said with a smile.

"Hey, it's a cloudy day today! And don't think I don't know you're changing the subject." The girl huffed angrily. How could such a simple lie fool me?

"Woof woof~~" The little dog sitting in the back stretched out its paw and yawned boredly. These two people are so boring, having this kind of pointless conversation every day. I guess I shouldn't have come along in the first place.

"Little White, I think I sense something bad?" The boy turned and stared at the puppy menacingly, guessing that if its answer wasn't satisfactory, he might be in for dog meat hot pot today.

"Woof woof!!" Little White's fur stood on end. It hurriedly shook its head, stuck out its tongue, raised its paws high, and looked at its master with utmost sincerity. Master is the best! Long live Master!

That shameless dead dog

"Hey, why are you always forbidding me from bullying Xiaobai?" Yu Ruoxue stood firmly in front of Xiaobai, saying with great displeasure.

"Phew!" Seeing the figure in front of him, Xiaobai patted his still-shaken heart with relief. It's definitely better to have a female owner.

"Bullying? Did I?" Li Kai looked at Xiaobai, who was breathing a sigh of relief, without changing his expression.

"Waaah!" Little White shook its head decisively.

"See? How could someone as kind as me bully others? Of course, even a dog wouldn't." At this point, Li Kai had already lost the last bit of integrity he had left, since it was all useless anyway.

"Is it really okay to be so shameless?" After a long while, Yu Ruoxue couldn't help but sigh.

"Wait a minute, I feel like you're getting better and better at making sarcastic remarks lately. Could it be that..." Li Kai reached out and pinched Yu Ruoxue's cheek. It was so delicate and smooth that he felt there was nothing wrong with it.

"Snapped!"

Yu Ruoxue slapped away the large hand that was misbehaving on her face, blushing as she said, "Who told you to pinch me like that?!"

"Well, judging from this reaction, they definitely didn't switch drivers." Li Kai drove the car with a calm and serious expression, leaving no room for suspicion. Of course, he wouldn't admit that he was just trying to take advantage of the situation!

Seeing Li Kai's serious expression, Yu Ruoxue was momentarily speechless.

Time flowed by as the car drove on, the surrounding scenery rushing past like ever-changing rise and fall. Groups of zombies roared menacingly, and before anyone knew it, these creatures had taken over various positions, as if humanity's so-called numerical advantage had long since vanished.

The dim, yellowish light gradually descended to near the horizon, and the fiery red sunset seemed to be bursting forth with its last rays; twilight was approaching.

Due to the long drive, the already low gasoline level started to emit a piercing alarm, and the car came to an abrupt stop.

"The timing was perfect; we ran out of gas just before evening." Faced with this absolutely terrible situation, Li Kai remarked with a smile.

"You must have filled several barrels with gasoline back then, right? That should have been more than enough," Yu Ruoxue said nonchalantly.

"Can't you at least be mindful of the atmosphere? You keep interrupting me, it's so disrespectful!" Li Kai said, annoyed, finally able to express his feelings.

"Tch~~" Yu Ruoxue made no attempt to hide her disdain.

"Alright, let's stop here for tonight and set off again tomorrow," Li Kai ordered bluntly.

The bright moonlight spread across the open land, and without the illumination of lights, the countless stars slowly revealed their own light.

"If it were before, we probably wouldn't have had the chance to see such a sky full of stars, right?" Li Kai leaned back in the driver's seat, gazing up at the night sky, and murmured with emotion, "It's really, really dazzling."

Hearing his words, Yu Ruoxue also looked up at the night sky, her eyes revealing an indescribable emotion, "Don't you miss the past?"

"Of course I miss it. I could stay in bed and play computer games without having to think about anything, and I could even vent my frustrations when I had nothing to do," Li Kai replied without thinking.

"No, that's not what you really think!" Yu Ruoxue frowned. Although she didn't know why, she understood that the answer she had just received was definitely not what he wanted.

"Haha, you saw right through me." Seemingly sensing the girl's displeasure, Li Kai reached out and ruffled her hair. "Nostalgia is just nostalgia, after all, the present is what matters most."

"Ugh, stop touching me like that!" Yu Ruoxue complained, enjoying his caresses but unable to refuse, which was really annoying.

"If it weren't for this disaster, I probably would never have met you in my life; if it weren't for this disaster, I probably would have been bound by my own limitations for the rest of my life," Li Kai said sincerely.

"Binding yourself?" Yu Ruoxue blushed and covered her chest. Her heart had been beating so fast just now.

"Because I know that a beast is suppressed within me!" Li Kai gazed at the boundless starry sky, his deep eyes captivating, revealing an aura he had never revealed before.

"!!" Yu Ruoxue's red lips parted slightly, unsure how to respond for a moment.

That night, in the villa that had undergone countless renovations, a lightly dressed girl stared intently at the starry sky, as if she could see something from it.

"Miss, it's time to rest. You've had a long day." The butler knocked lightly on the door but did not enter.

"I understand, Uncle Fu." The girl's lips parted slightly, her intoxicating voice like a bewitching melody, captivating the soul.

The girl lay on the bed, her graceful figure displayed in its entirety, but unfortunately, no one was there to see it.

"You'll be alright, right?" With a soft murmur, the girl slowly closed her tired eyes. The last thing her gaze fell on was a photograph. The girl was hugging the boy without any hesitation, and the boy in the photo, who was smiling bitterly, looked eight-tenths like Li Kai.

In the dead of night, when humans are fast asleep, it is the time when zombies are active. Hundreds of miles around the villa, black dots are slowly moving. Relying on the faint glow of the starry sky, these black dots are clearly the heads of zombies, and the zombies, with their heads swarming together, are constantly gathering.

The zombies, growling softly, moved forward in unison, their target clearly the villa located near the center.
