My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

"Seeing the silence fall, the old man continued to ask."

"You mean that thing? I kept it in a closed room too, so I burned it to death." Li Kai wanted to slap himself hard. This wasn't him at all! Why did he say such a thing!

"No way! I'm going on strike today! I'm not doing this anymore!" the reckless guy shouted, waving his hand.

"Useless trash, stay put!" A terrifying shout suddenly rang out.

"Uh, I'm not scared at all!" Li Kai said stubbornly, his legs trembling.

Hey, what are these three dialogues? Where did they come from? And stop shaking your legs so much!

Well, we don't need to worry about these details. The important thing is the atmosphere, you know?

"Is it really that simple?" the old man exclaimed in surprise, completely unaware of his own lapse in composure.

"It's that simple? Didn't any of you think of this idea?" Li Kai stared intently into his eyes and asked with a smile.

"To be honest, even if we thought of it, I doubt anyone would dare to do it." The old man gave a wry smile, then pointed to a group of people cheering and jumping in the sunlight behind him. "These people have long been terrified by the zombies; there's no one else we can use!"

Li Kai frowned deeply, lowered his head and remained silent in deep thought.

"Yes, this is the effect I wanted. Now things will be easier!" The old man looked at Li Kai's reaction with satisfaction.

"By the way, isn't my food ready yet?" Just when he was confident of victory, Li Kai suddenly looked up and said, "It's been so long, isn't it ready yet?!"

Holy crap! This kid's got some nerve! The old man almost glared at Li Kai in anger; this guy was completely unpredictable and not to be trifled with!

"Cough cough, it'll be soon, no need to rush," the old man said with an embarrassed smile, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"I don't want to either, but time is of the essence, and I have urgent business!" A hint of frustration appeared on Li Kai's face. This time you actually got it right? How strange!

"Alright, alright, your food is ready!" Just as the old man was at his wits' end, a figure suddenly ran out of the basement, carrying large bags in both hands and shouting happily. I'm so clever! The timing couldn't have been better!

"Hmph!" The old man turned around and glared at him fiercely. "Are you really stupid or just pretending?"

"Ready? That's great!" Li Kai took the initiative, not giving the old man any chance to react, and snatched the two bags of food.

"Hmm, not bad. There are quite a few things I like to eat. It should last for two or three days!" Li Kai looked at the food inside with satisfaction and waved to Xiaobai.

"Hehe, Li Kai! Are you satisfied with the preparations?" The old man finally seized an opportunity to interject, but...

"That sounds a bit awkward! Oh well, there's just a little less meat, but it's alright!" Li Kai pursed his lips and said something that made the old man want to vomit blood.

"Ugh! You brat, this is several days' worth of food for us! And you're complaining it's not enough!"

"Xiaobai, take these to the car, and remember not to eat them!" Li Kai said to Xiaobai, who had already run over, while also threatening him.

Sigh, this dog really lives up to the saying, working itself to the bone like a dog... wait, wait a minute! I'm getting a bit off-topic again!

"So you're leaving now?" The old man felt his worldview collapsing as he watched the tiny dog ​​struggle to carry two bags of food heavier than itself and run out. What kind of breed of dog was that? It was really amazing!

Woof woof (Mongrel dog, that's awesome!)

"Of course, now that I've gathered the food, I should leave," Li Kai said matter-of-factly. That kind of answer makes it hard to continue the conversation! Looks like I'll have to call you the conversation killer from now on!

"Waaah!!" Just as Li Kai turned to leave, the old man suddenly plopped down on the ground and burst into tears without any restraint.

"What are you up to now?" Li Kai looked at the old man wailing, his face full of black lines. "At least shed some tears! You're really letting the audience down."

"If you leave like this, how are we supposed to survive?" the old man finally said, revealing his true feelings.

"Stay here and wait for rescue, didn't you say that?" Li Kai continued to instruct Xiaobai behind him, "Don't leave the spider legs behind! There's enough food for you to eat for several days! Seriously, aren't you being incredibly disrespectful?"

"But we don't know how long the army will need to last, and we don't know if we can hold out until then."

"You're telling me this? I can't help you! I'm just an ordinary otaku, not a savior!" Li Kai waved his hand innocently, unable to offer any assistance.

"No, you can kill this spider, you definitely can!" The old man stood up excitedly. Grandpa, you look like you're involved in a pyramid scheme!

"Can I do it?" Li Kai asked, a look of doubt on his face as he listened to the old man's words.

“That’s right, you’re so strong, you can definitely protect us until the government’s rescue!” the old man exclaimed joyfully.

"Seriously, this guy is still—" A voice suddenly rang out in exasperation.

"Hehe, that's impossible! That's it, I'm leaving now!" Li Kai suddenly said with a smile, his change of heart was astonishing.

"Why?!" The old man looked at Li Kai, who had gotten into the car, with a puzzled expression. Hadn't they just agreed to stay together? Was this the legendary case of friendship capsizing so easily?

"Because I've always believed in the saying, 'The most valuable thing a person can do is to save themselves!' If you've already given up on the possibility of survival, even with me here, are you sure you can survive? So just wait here peacefully!" Li Kai drove off, his words leaving the old man pondering deeply. The old man looked ahead with excitement, seemingly having gained some insight.

Do you think that's possible? Absolutely not! This isn't an educational film.

"Wait a minute! At least give us back a bag of food!" the old man shouted, watching the speeding car.

"I suddenly understand what I felt just now. Was it me?" Li Kai asked with a smile, touching his chest. In the depths of darkness, a figure sat quietly, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

I'm Li Kai. Human interaction is so complicated. It's much more pleasant to interact with zombies... Wait, did I say something wrong? (P.S.: You, a typical otaku, have no right to say things like that!)
