My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

"It's still this familiar place!" Li Kai rubbed his throbbing head, looking at the familiar place with a frustrated expression. It was still the same as always, but the result was different each time.

"Damn it, how could there be such a weird place there! Aren't they afraid of starving to death with so many zombies gathered together?" Li Kai couldn't help but complain, recalling the dark mass of zombies he had seen before.

"What other options are there? Running away isn't an option, and staying isn't an option either. It's so difficult!" Li Kai replayed his previous escape attempts over and over again, only to come to the conclusion that he was doomed.

"No way! We're surrounded by wolves in front and tigers behind, no matter how we try to escape, we're doomed! This is hellish difficulty, leaving no way out!" Li Kai cried out, rolling around on the ground without any restraint. His brain cells were completely dead. "Come on, come out already! Here's a solution!"

Hey, isn't this just too shameless? A grown man shouldn't be acting cute like this; it's an eyesore!

Anyway, no one saw it, so it doesn't matter!

"What a hopeless future! There's not a shred of hope in sight." Li Kaisheng murmured dejectedly as he looked up at the sky. Even if he could rewind and start over indefinitely, it would just be a vicious cycle, utterly worthless.

A sudden whimper interrupted Li Kai's worries. He saw the girl on the other side comfortably nestled on a soft cushion, her body curled up, her small, delicate nose twitching, while she made soft, contented sounds.

"I'm so worried I'm going gray, and you're sleeping so comfortably, it's so unfair!" Li Kai looked at Yu Ruoxue, who was fast asleep, with amusement, and suddenly felt a sense of healing.

"Is there no hope? Perhaps for myself, there really is no hope, but with your future, even if there is no hope, I will create that sliver of hope!" Li Kai gently stroked his disheveled hair, the light in his eyes growing ever more resolute.

"Everything I'm doing now, and the reason I can keep going, is all because of your company!" The girl arched her head in enjoyment, seemingly appreciating Li Kai's caresses.

Yes, from the very beginning, when you chose to commit suicide without hesitation, you were destined to change this hopeless ending! A bright future belongs to you!

"Actually, it's not that there's no hope. Since there's no hope of escaping, why not fight to the death?" Looking at the girl's face, Li Kai suddenly had a strange thought.

"Your strength is definitely enough to defeat it! It's just a pity you're unwilling," Li Kai shook his head self-deprecatingly. She was indeed very strong, but because of him...

"Well, there are countless chances anyway. At worst, I'll just accumulate combat experience through countless deaths, just like before. I'll eventually find its weakness!" Li Kai patted his cheeks, constantly comforting himself.

"If I have the chance, I owe you an answer," he suddenly said solemnly to the sleeping girl as he bowed his head, perhaps speaking to her who was hiding somewhere.

"Hehe, what am I doing! Hmm, get a good night's sleep, girl!" Suddenly realizing his mistake, Li Kai quickly changed his tone and spoke softly to the girl before turning around to prepare breakfast.

The moment Li Kai struck the brick, Yu Ruoxue abruptly opened her eyes, watching his departing figure with complex emotions she couldn't quite describe.

"Lazy pig, get up and eat!" Yu Ruoxue, still half asleep, was suddenly startled by a loud shout beside her.

"Ah? Ah! What happened?!" Yu Ruoxue jumped up in a panic, shouting anxiously.

"Nothing serious, just time for breakfast." Li Kai looked at the nervous girl with a black line on his forehead. If zombies attacked at night, this girl probably wouldn't survive. Wait, a night attack? Cough cough, it can't be what I'm thinking.

"What? You're yelling like that just for breakfast?" Yu Ruoxue glared at the culprit with resentment. It was barely dawn, was it really necessary to be so early?

"Of course! The early bird catches the worm, so you have to eat a good breakfast!" Li Kai said matter-of-factly, which made perfect sense!

"Don't you know that sleep deprivation is a woman's greatest enemy?" Yu Ruoxue asked through gritted teeth, clenching her fists.

"Oh, I see!" Li Kai nodded indifferently, completely unconcerned about the girl's anger.

"You bastard! I'll beat you to death!!" Yu Ruoxue raised her little pink fists and punched Li Kai in the chest.

"Bang bang bang!" Li Kai remained motionless as she pounded his chest. It didn't hurt much anyway. But this scene was a bit strange! Are you guys abusing your love?

"Ouch, that hurts!" Because the force is mutual, although Li Kai did not feel any pain, Yu Ruoxue covered her fist and was in so much pain that she was about to cry.

"Who told you to do it? Don't blame me!" Li Kai unceremoniously shifted all the blame onto her.

"I'll bite you to death!!" Seeing this stubborn guy who wouldn't listen to reason, Yu Ruoxue, at her wits' end, suddenly revealed a pair of small tiger teeth, which gleamed coldly!

"What the hell are you doing now? Hey, are you really going to bite me?!" Li Kai thought it was just a joke, but he didn't expect this guy to actually pounce on him.

"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of!" Yu Ruoxue shouted proudly, as if it wasn't something to be proud of at all.

"Let's get going early today," Li Kai said, looking at the faintly brightening sky. But something about his words felt ambiguous. I'm not going to my death!

"Huh? You know the roads here better than I do?!" Yu Ruoxue exclaimed in surprise as she watched the car speeding along the road without any obstruction.

"There's no need to bring up such trivial topics again. You wouldn't understand even if I explained it more!" Li Kai replied absentmindedly, after all, this topic had been discussed far too many times.

"Don't be so perfunctory!" Yu Ruoxue turned her attention to the window with dissatisfaction. Talking to the person next to her might drive her crazy one day.

In the silence, the car slowly drove forward, and before they knew it, the two had returned to this familiar place—at least for Li Kai himself.

"We've come to this place again. How many times has this happened?" Li Kai stopped the car, glanced at the fuel gauge, and stared at the blocked road ahead. Would the outcome be different this time? Or would it be another desperate struggle?

"Hey, I was wondering if this is the way to go!" Yu Ruoxue kindly reminded her, while constantly looking around as if searching for another way.

"No need to look anymore. Even if we find it, it's not for living people!" Li Kai understood the girl's intention without even looking. He stepped out of the car and sighed softly.

"Huh? I feel like something's off about you today!" Yu Ruoxue looked at the boy's back with a puzzled expression, feeling a sense of desolation.

"So where are you?" Li Kai carefully scanned his surroundings, trying to find the predator lurking in the shadows.

"Hey, did you even hear me?!" Yu Ruoxue shouted angrily, feeling completely ignored.

"Shh, don't make a sound!" A scarlet shadow flashed past Li Kai's eyes, and a rustling sound began to echo in the silent world.

"As expected, it's been staying here all along!" Feeling this familiar, chaotic aura, Li Kai's lips curled into a smile that was hard to tell whether it was excitement or helplessness.

"What exactly are you?"

"Wait for me here!" Li Kai gestured to stop the girl, then paused before saying very seriously, "I don't know if you're listening, but after I'm gone, the guys outside will be yours to deal with!"

"What do you mean?! Who are you talking to?" Yu Ruoxue felt completely bewildered, not understanding a word he was saying.

"Roar!!" A terrifying roar came from the distant building, and in the blink of an eye, the Licker with its tongue sticking out leaped in front of Li Kai.

"Looks like this isn't going to be a pleasant death!" Li Kai turned his head and looked at its sharp claws with a wry smile. He would die if it touched them even lightly.

"Whoosh!" The Licker moved and disappeared from Li Kai's sight in an instant. He then felt a gust of wind blow past his ear, and a pale, sharp claw suddenly stabbed towards his heart.

"The gap is too big!" In that instant, Li Kai realized that the difference between his own weakness and the other's was like heaven and earth. Was it a bit irrational to give up the chance to continue for her sake?

I will absolutely not regret it!! At the very last moment, the girl's smile reappeared before Li Kai's eyes; the answer had already been decided long ago.

"How pathetic I am," Li Kai thought, closing his eyes and awaiting death. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew past his ear, and a faint fragrance filled his nostrils.

"Did I ever say I was entrusting his life to you?!" A cold voice suddenly rang out. Opening his eyes, Li Kai found the girl in front of him to be as beautiful as a fairy!
