My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

"That's strange. Have you been here before?" Yu Ruoxue asked, puzzled, as she watched Li Kai's skillful driving.

"No, I already told you, this is my first time here!" Li Kai replied casually, focused on looking ahead.

"Then how do you remember the roads here? There are some places where I don't even need to point them out to you." Yu Ruoxue pointed out the strange things in the road directly.

"Haha~~ I dreamt about it last night. Didn't I say I'm omnipotent?" Li Kai laughed and tried to cover it up.

"Stop lying to me, I'm not a child!" Yu Ruoxue shouted angrily at the perfunctory answer.

"I'll poke it!" Looking at the puffed-up cheeks, Li Kai playfully reached out his finger and pressed on them.

"Ah~~ Pervert!" Startled, Yu Ruoxue covered her cheek, her face full of grief, as if she had just been treated cruelly.

"Seriously? It was just a touch, why the expression? It's like I've committed a terrible crime." Li Kai ignored those watery eyes and innocently exclaimed.

"Aaaaah~~ You actually poked my face! I can't stand it! I'll fight you!" Little Yu Ruoxue, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws, angrily stretched out her pink fists at Li Kai.

"Alright, stop fooling around. I'm driving. You don't want three lives lost in this car, do you?" Li Kai said seriously, clenching his fist as it was about to punch him. Wait, why three lives? It's just two people, isn't it?

Oh, Little White is still sleeping in the back. Come to think of it, that guy hasn't appeared in a long time.

Uh, okay, I forgot to include the dog.

"Let go of me, I know," Yu Ruoxue whispered, perhaps because of Li Kai's words or because her hand was being grabbed.

"Ahead," Li Kai said, no longer paying attention to the girl's words. The familiar ruins ahead appeared before him once again, with collapsed buildings blocking the road.

"If I say we should go around this road, which way should we go?" Li Kai gripped Yu Ruoxue's wrist tightly, his whole body involuntarily breaking out in a cold sweat.

"It hurts so much! There's clearly a passage over there, why don't we just go through it?" Yu Ruoxue frowned as she looked at the passage entrance in the distance, her fair wrist already turning red.

"Absolutely not! We absolutely cannot go there!!" Li Kai roared uncontrollably, the scene from before suddenly flashing before his eyes. He absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen again!

"I know, I was just saying it. Why are you so angry?" Yu Ruoxue pouted and said aggrievedly, her red and swollen eyes filled with tears of grievance.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" Hearing the girl's words, Li Kai was suddenly pulled back from his memories.

"Don't cry. I was just worried there might be some traps in that passage, so my tone became more forceful without my realizing it," Li Kai said, turning to the girl who was about to cry and trying to appease her.

"Then let go of my wrist first," Yu Ruoxue said after sobbing a few times.

"Okay, does it hurt a lot?" Li Kai quickly released her wrist, revealing a sudden purplish-red ring on her fair skin.

"If you don't want to go, you don't have to be so mean?" Yu Ruoxue muttered, rubbing her wrist. As a rich young lady, she had never been treated like this before.

"Phew, that's good—damn it!!" Before Li Kai could even catch his breath, a scarlet figure suddenly leaped out from in front of him, a figure he would never forget.

"Screech!!" The car's rear tires suddenly tightened, and the entire car sped along the road. The two people inside felt dizzy and nauseous.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why are you like this all of a sudden—ugh!" Yu Ruoxue cried out, clutching her head in pain.

"Shh~~ Keep your voice down!" Li Kai interrupted her without any politeness. This time of day was clearly abnormal. Shouldn't the monster outside be on the other side? Why did it suddenly appear here? Could it be that his arrival changed everything? A butterfly only needs to flap its wings slightly to affect the environment on the other side. This is the so-called butterfly effect.

But why have I never encountered this before? Is it because I am a butterfly?

However, there was no time for Li Kai to daydream at this point, because

"Boom!" A strong tremor suddenly came from the roof of the car, followed by a cracking sound. In a short while, cracks appeared on the roof.

"What is this thing?" Yu Ruoxue looked at the strange thing above her head in horror, and terrifying hissing sounds kept reaching her ears.

"Damn it, it still happened!" Li Kai cursed under his breath, then turned his gaze to Yu Ruoxue. "It's come to this point, and you still won't come out?"

"Huh? You mean the other me?" Yu Ruoxue pointed at herself in surprise, but unfortunately, she felt nothing at all.

"Tell me, are you still not planning to come out?" Li Kai asked again, his tone extremely serious.

“That…” Yu Ruoxue said softly.

"Alright, I understand what you mean. From now on, I hope you can protect her." Li Kai sighed softly, then opened the car door. Just as he was about to get out, he turned back and said, "Take care of yourself. I'll go lure it away!"

"Is this really okay?" Yu Ruoxue said softly, unsure whether she was speaking to herself or to someone else.

The suddenly appearing, snow-white blade hummed in resistance.

"Then let's give it our all. If we can regain our previous feeling, it's not like we have no chance!" Li Kai nervously looked at the scarlet figure on the roof of the car, constantly trying to uncover the power hidden deep within his soul.

"What a ridiculous idiot!" The shadow hidden in the darkness sneered, its tone utterly pathetic.

"Roar!!" The monster with its long tongue lolling out pushed off with its legs and charged towards Li Kai.

"Then come on!" Li Kai stared intently at the figure rushing towards him, his muscles tensed to the extreme. At this moment, all his functions had reached the pinnacle of what humans could achieve. However, what stood before him was a monster that far surpassed humans.

"Bang!" With the first strike, the licker-like monster easily broke his arm.

"Pfft!" With the second strike, the sharp claws easily severed Li Kai's arm, and bright red blood splattered in mid-air.

"Boom!" With the third strike, the monster's body suddenly pressed inward, and its remaining claw pierced straight through Li Kai's heart.

After three blows, Li Kai was completely defeated! And what awaited him was death.

"Cough cough, I was so naive!" Li Kai looked at the blood slowly oozing out with a bitter smile, and finally fixed his gaze on the girl who staggered out.

"No, no!!" Yu Ruoxue cried as she ran out of the car, crystal tears slowly dripping down her face.

"I need to come up with a good idea, but I'm leaving this to you from now on!" Li Kai looked at the girl holding him in his arms, and that familiar cold expression finally appeared.

"I'm sorry," Li Kai's hands fell limply to the ground. It's just a pity that I didn't get to tell you my feelings for you in the end.

"Ahhh!!" the girl screamed in pain.

I'm Li Kai. What exactly is the butterfly effect? ​​If I were that butterfly, would each of my resurrections stir up a storm? (P.S.: This doesn't seem like a science mystery, does it? Damn it, give us a refund right now!!)
