My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

"Tell me everything you know right now!" Yongye suddenly grabbed Li Kai's throat and questioned him coldly.

"I...I...uh!!" As the force in his hand gradually increased, Li Kai felt his breathing become difficult, his struggling body became weaker and weaker, and then his consciousness fell into darkness.

"Huh? I think I went a bit too far! I thought I could get some useful information, but what a disappointment." Yongye looked at the lifeless Li Kai and felt bored. He casually tossed him aside, and the black flames slowly burned him away.

"Damn, this was way too much! I overdid it." Li Kai, who had just woken up, rubbed his hair in frustration. He should have known better than to act mysterious. He had died such a pathetic death. He was truly pathetic!

"No, this time I have to get to the point quickly and not repeat the same mistakes as before." Li Kai patted his cheeks and embarked on his journey once again.

In the same place, under the same circumstances, Li Kai stood before the charred blood cocoon, quietly waiting for it to break open and for the king inside to emerge. But wasn't it taking a little too long? How much time had passed and he still hadn't come out!

"Cough cough, now that you're awake, why don't you come out quickly?" Li Kai couldn't help but call out as he looked at the blood cocoon that hadn't moved for a long time.

"Hmm?" As Li Kai finished speaking, the blood cocoon finally stirred, and the king, who had been silent there, finally spoke, "How exactly did you, a mere human, discover me?"

"Tch, it's happened so many times already, do you think I wouldn't notice?" Li Kai curled his lip in disdain, but still spoke up, "Based on my intuition, on human perception! The fact that the blood cocoon didn't turn to ash under such a raging fire already says a lot."

"I sense that you know a lot of things, and I'm very curious to know!" Yongye shed his disguise and reappeared before Li Kai.

"Is this how you ask others for advice, King of Eternal Night?" Li Kai met the golden eyes before him without fear.

"Hahaha!! Not bad, really not bad! It's rare to meet such an interesting person on my birthday. It's worth it for me to come out here!" Hearing Li Kai's double entendre, Yongye covered his face and laughed excitedly. "As a reward for my happiness, I will forgive your rudeness for now! I'll grant you a chance. What do you want to know?"

"I actually want to know how to kill you? If I say that, I'll definitely be killed, right?" Li Kaiqiang suppressed his inner turmoil and finally asked.

"What exactly are you?! What is your identity, the one we call zombies? An alien virus? Or a new race? What is the purpose of your existence?"

"That's not really a problem, but since I'm in a good mood, I'll grant your wish!"

"As you wish, we are the Corpse Clan, beings from time immemorial! The zombies you speak of are merely the lowest of species, beings born from infection. Even if they evolve, they can never compare to us. But those like me are the noblest royalty!"

"Humble? Evolution? The current zombies are just the beginning?" Li Kai felt his brain was overwhelmed; it was so complicated! This kind of thing was definitely not for him.

"That's right. The zombies nowadays are nothing but low-level trash, appendages of us. They evolve by devouring others and do not belong to our zombie race."

"As for the purpose of our existence, it is of course to survive! To live for the sake of living! Ironically, after struggling through countless cycles of reincarnation, we still have to return to this starting point, this starting point that has been repeated countless times!" A trace of sadness suddenly appeared on Yongye's face, but it was only fleeting.

"Countless starting points? Who exactly are you—"

"Heh, I might as well tell you. It's rare to be able to confide in a human being. When the world stagnates or even regresses, that's when we are born! A new opportunity must be born from destruction!"

"Impossible. If that's the case, then all those fragmented memories from before..." A terrifying hypothesis suddenly occurred to Li Kai. Every century is accompanied by a great catastrophe. If what he said is true, then...

“That’s right, our mission is to purify the world for survival! As the price of revival, we must eliminate all life in the world!” Yongye directly confirmed Li Kai’s conjecture.

"it is as expected!"

I am Li Kai, and a scroll filled with intrigue is slowly unfolding before me. Perhaps this is the true meaning of the apocalypse! This is the real apocalypse! If possible, I would rather know nothing and simply struggle in this world. Unfortunately, this is reality, and there are no "ifs" here! (P.S.: I just want to be a quiet homebody!)
