My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

"No way, that was done way too fast!" Looking at the corpse that had been cut in half, Li Kai swallowed hard. He suddenly felt a sense of unreality, like he was dreaming. The big boss who had been torturing him to the point of death had been killed by a girl who was completely powerless.

Ahem, are you sure the girl in front of you is as you described? What's that gleaming katana?! Are you blind or am I?!

"It's you again?!" Xueying glared at the guy who had stepped forward to interrupt, her expression unfriendly. This had happened several times already.

Uh, I was just passing by, you guys continue.

"Tsk tsk, looks like it's dead as dead as can be!" Li Kai bent down and poked the Licker's corpse. It was motionless, and the blood was almost dried up.

"What are you doing there?" Xueying asked, puzzled.

"Suddenly I feel like my death was so pointless!" After a long while, Li Kai suddenly sighed. Sure enough, he was too weak, or rather, his opponent was too strong.

"By the way, you still haven't told me what exactly happened before!" As if remembering something, Li Kai suddenly turned his head and asked.

The girl behind him was quiet and didn't make a sound.

"Hey, are you alright?!" Li Kai was about to complain when the girl suddenly swayed and fell straight to the ground.

"You've used up a lot of energy," Xueying said softly, her rosy lips turning pale, her whole appearance sickly, which added to her pitiful charm.

"Energy? Then what do you need to replenish it? Food or..." Li Kai asked incessantly, his whole body tense up, his tone becoming very urgent.

"No, we all replenish our energy through zombies," Xueying said reluctantly.

"Huh? Are we going to eat it?" Li Kai exclaimed in surprise. Eating a zombie alive seemed a bit bizarre!

"You bastard, what are you talking about!" A sickly blush suddenly appeared on Xueying's face, and her drooping fingers angrily pinched the soft flesh on Li Kai's waist.

"Hey, hey, it was you who said it, okay? And patients shouldn't move around!" Li Kai cried out in pain, while simultaneously grabbing her small hand in his own. It was icy cold, and the feeling was quite peculiar. I mean, do you understand what I mean by "this is...***"?

"I didn't!" Xueying said coquettishly, her face flushed. She couldn't muster any strength at all, and she couldn't even break free from the grasp on her hand. Yes, that's exactly it!

"So you mean it's the crystal core inside the zombie?" Li Kai suddenly remembered something and shouted excitedly.

"Crystal cores? Those are the crystalline particles that are the zombies' energy source." Xueying nodded as she listened to Li Kai's description.

"That makes things easier. Wait a minute, I remember I have some more here!" With that, Li Kai quickly rummaged in his pocket and soon pulled out a small bag.

"Do you think this is enough?" Li Kai opened the bag, dumped out all the crystals inside, and tilted his head to ask.

"That's enough. But why do you have so many?" Xueying looked at the enormous number of crystal cores in surprise. After all, a girl would probably never dig out such bloody things unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Oh, I'll eat it as a snack! Sometimes when I'm hungry, I'll have one, it's so crunchy!" Li Kai casually tossed one into his mouth and then slowly chewed it, making a chilling chewing sound.

"No way! You actually treat it as a snack? How is that possible?!" Xueying exclaimed in shock. "This kind of thing is clearly not something humans can use, let alone eat."

"Why? The taste is still pretty good!" Li Kai said nonchalantly.

"Why? Isn't it obvious! The energy contained inside is not something humans can absorb. Even we infected people can't eat it casually. You actually eat it like a snack? My god, are you even human?" Xueying covered her head and rolled her eyes as she shouted.

"I'm telling you, I'm a genuine human being! Don't slander me like that!" Although the girl's eye-rolling was quite beautiful, Li Kai absolutely could not tolerate it when it came to matters of personality and stance.

With a "crunch," Xueying slowly swallowed a few crystal cores. Wisps of white light slowly emerged from her body, and in no time, her lips returned to their previous rosy color.

"Look, this little bit is enough for me to replenish my energy after I finish eating," Xueying, whose injuries had healed, said, still nestled in Li Kai's arms.

"Wow~~ This is truly eye-opening, but I don't feel anything at all! Is it because there's too little energy?" After saying that, Li Kai popped another one into his mouth, what a waste!

"No, you can't eat anymore!" Seeing Li Kai still wanting more, Xueying snatched the bag from him and scolded him with a frown, "Who eats this kind of unknown food so casually!"

"It's alright, we've eaten so much, there shouldn't be any danger." Li Kai waved his hand dismissively, confident that nothing unusual would happen.

"That won't do either. I absolutely won't allow you to eat it until I understand the specifics!" Xueying firmly rejected the idea.

"Honestly, you're so strict!" Li Kai said dejectedly, hanging his head. "You're like a nagging housekeeper, Xueying!"

"Huh? What housekeeper? I don't want to be your housekeeper!" Xueying retorted hastily, her face flushed red, but the rising steam betrayed her, girl!

"I was just saying, it won't happen!" Completely oblivious to the girl's feelings, Li Kai kindly explained, but...

"Bang!" A big red bump swelled up on Li Kai's head. The girl angrily muttered to herself, "You bastard, just go die already!"

"Ahem, now you should tell me about what happened before, right? What is that so-called seal? Why do I feel that my physical condition is much better than before? Hmm, much stronger!" A series of questions came from Li Kai's mouth, his clenched fist filled with powerful force.

"I'm not entirely sure either, but I have a vague memory of signing a contract with someone I trust, and then..." Xueying explained hesitantly, though her explanation was fragmented, but Li Kai generally understood.

"In other words, we're now in a contractual relationship. Through the gifts you've given me, I've indirectly become stronger, and your memories aren't very clear right now," Li Kai said after organizing his thoughts. But how exactly did you manage to do this analysis? Suddenly, I feel like my intelligence has been insulted?

Huh? You've read too many novels and watched too many anime, so you'll understand this kind of thing!

Why do I feel like you're looking at a mentally challenged child? You bastard, I'm going to kill you!!

"Yes, that's roughly the idea!" Xueying nodded in agreement, her memories flickering in and out of her mind, and even she herself wasn't entirely clear about them.

"By the way, what is an infected person? Your strength is extraordinary, unlike what a modern person should have. Does this mean that besides zombies, there are people who have survived infection?"

"From what I understand, that should be it. And the ability I gained is the weapon in my hand, or rather, I am this weapon!" Xueying gripped the pink blade and said softly, "Doesn't that seem strange? I'm not even a human being."

"No, it's quite novel. I vaguely guessed it around that time. Yu Ruoxue simply doesn't possess this kind of combat awareness. The idea of ​​a second personality also doesn't quite make sense. Besides, this knife is always there whenever you appear. Most importantly..."

"What is it?" Xueying asked curiously as she stepped closer.

“I’ve never forgotten that feeling of excitement!” Li Kai whispered into the girl’s ear, and instantly the girl trembled, her flushed face as beautiful as the sunset.

I'm Li Kai, and today is a day to celebrate! Why, you ask? Well, it's no joke—I've successfully broken free from the clutches of fate! Hehe, it looks like I've conquered destiny! (P.S.: Wow, looks like someone's got guts!)
