My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

Fourth floor, large supermarket

"Roar!" Groups of zombies lingered around the cashier area, almost blocking the entire aisle. Judging from the unbroken markings on their clothes, the cashiers inside were almost completely infected.

The floor was almost washed with blood, the once smooth walls were now mottled and broken, items on the counter were scattered all over the floor, the marks of being trampled on were evident, and the rolling soda cans sounded particularly jarring here.

"This isn't normal. If it's a supermarket, there must be more infected zombies than this!" Li Kai, hiding to the side, silently surveyed the scene before him, his mind racing. "Even if it was already late at night, there shouldn't be only this many the next day!"

"No, could something have happened here?"

"Hey, what are you doing?" Yu Ruoxue poked his waist from behind, then peeked out. "Seriously, you're being so cautious just to go upstairs!"

"Don't look!" Li Kai tried to stop the girl, but it was too late.

Yu Ruoxue still stuck her head out to look ahead, just as a zombie turned to face her. Dark red flesh dripped from its jagged teeth, and yellowish-green saliva dripped onto the ground. For some reason, its shoulder had become a bloody mess, and milky-white worms were crawling all over its thighs and chest.

Yu Ruoxue, who had never observed a zombie so closely before, witnessed the zombie's magnificence clearly at this moment, well, in high definition!

"Ahhh!!!" Seeing the mouth growing bigger and bigger, Li Kai quickly stopped Yu Ruoxue from screaming.

"Waaah!!" Yu Ruoxue, whose mouth was covered, trembled violently, goosebumps rising uncontrollably all over her body. For a girl, there was probably nothing more terrifying than this.

"Quiet down, or those zombies will pounce on you!" Li Kai whispered a warning. Although he himself didn't feel anything about these zombies, after all, he had done such a heinous thing as dissection.

"These zombies...!" Just as Yu Ruoxue was about to describe it after being released, a strong urge to vomit forced her to bend over and vomit violently.

"It's okay, it's normal to feel a little uncomfortable the first time you see it," Li Kai said, gently patting the girl's back. "Haven't you seen this before?"

"No, she always appears before we encounter zombies, and these zombies have been rotting for so long... ugh!!" Yu Ruoxue started vomiting again before she could say more than a few words.

"Xueying? That girl seems to be getting lazier and lazier. I wanted to meet her." Li Kai rested his chin on his hand. The girl dared to kiss him before leaving. No way, he had to get revenge!

"Here, use this to wipe your mouth." Seeing that Yu Ruoxue had finally calmed down, Li Kai handed her a tissue.

"Thank you, thank you." Yu Ruoxue took the tissue shyly, her face pale and heartbreaking.

"Now that you're all better, let's discuss how you're going to get there!" Li Kai clapped his hands and asked with a smile, though the smile gave off a creepy feeling.

"Huh?" Yu Ruoxue tilted her head, she must have misheard.

"Shouldn't it be us?" Yu Ruoxue asked softly.

"No, no, seeing how strong your resistance is, you need to train a bit. As for me, these zombies are no match for me!" Li Kai said confidently.

"No, absolutely not!!" Yu Ruoxue shook her head vigorously, absolutely not wanting to come into contact with those zombies.

"It's okay, there's bound to be a first time. Just try it out and then hand it over to me," Li Kai coaxed patiently, though his lewd smile resembled that of an old man trying to abduct a young girl.

"But they're so scary," Yu Ruoxue said timidly, glancing outside before whispering.

"Ruoxue! Look into my eyes." Li Kai suddenly pressed down on Yu Ruoxue's shoulder.

"Ah? Ah!" Hearing Li Kai's shout, Yu Ruoxue trembled all over, then looked around helplessly, her flushed face making people want to take a bite.

"You must remember that to survive in this world, you must overcome this most basic difficulty. If you can't even face zombies, how will you survive in the future?!" Li Kai solemnly rebuked. Are you sure you're not just trying to satisfy your perverted desires?

"Isn't there you here?" Yu Ruoxue's gentle words almost choked Li Kai to death.

"Well, that's true, but I can't protect you forever, I..." It's a very ordinary sentence, something anyone would say, but in this context...

"Enough!! What do you think I should do?" Before Li Kai could finish speaking, he heard the girl's cold reply, which felt just like the feeling when they first met.

"Are you alright?" Li Kai looked at the cold and aloof girl in front of him, realizing that he might have said something he shouldn't have.

Ugh, what an idiot! Don't you know what it means when a girl completely relies on someone else?

"I'm sorry, I forgot I had to leave after you." Yu Ruoxue carefully dodged Li Kai's hand and said slowly. Although her expression was very calm, there was a slight tremor in her voice.

"No, that's not what I meant!" Seeing the girl's expression, Li Kai wanted to slap himself twice. Serves you right for being so talkative and causing trouble!

"Okay, I'm fine! It's just getting close to zombies, it's easy if I want to do it!" Yu Ruoxue said easily, and before Li Kai could agree, she took the initiative to walk forward. The crystal beads were particularly dazzling in the sunlight as she turned around.

"Hey you," Li Kai suddenly didn't know what to say. He was destined to leave this city and then part ways with the girl, but was it really appropriate to leave her here alone?

Can she really survive alone in this zombie-infested world?

No, no, someone as beautiful as her will definitely have someone to protect her. Losing me won't make a difference; she's been doing just fine before, hasn't she? Besides, what right do I have to promise to protect her? Someone who can't even protect themselves has no right to make such a promise!

Moreover, she would eventually become a phoenix soaring in the sky, someone he looked up to. The boy's inferiority complex once again took over, and his past experiences seemed like shackles binding his progress.

"Woof woof!" Xiaobai barked worriedly. Judging from the complicated behavior of the two just now, they must have had a fight.

"Let me calm down. What should I do?!" Li Kai leaned palely against the pillar, a bone-chilling cold emanating from his back. His consciousness grew increasingly weak, and the thick darkness seemed to be swallowing him up. Was his thinking really right?

"It's possible, just a little closer." Yu Ruoxue walked forward cautiously, getting closer and closer to the zombies.

"Woof woof!!" Little White hurriedly reminded the dazed Li Kai that now was not the time to think, as his mistress was facing a dangerous situation ahead!

"Phew, almost there, I can make it through even without you!" Yu Ruoxue clenched her sweaty fists and slowly made her way past the zombies' line of sight.

"Roar?" The zombie looked around in confusion, unaware that someone was trying to deceive it.

"Just one step away, that's all it takes!" Yu Ruoxue moved forward cautiously, the beads of sweat on her forehead were so thick she could feel them, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest.

"It doesn't seem too difficult." Looking at the zombies behind her, Yu Ruoxue easily wiped the sweat from her forehead. However, the sweat that fell to the ground happened to hit the soda can, and instantly, a crisp sound accompanied by the rolling of the soda can echoed throughout the entire floor.

"Roar!!" Upon hearing the sound, the previously carefree zombies quickly focused their gaze on what was behind them, their blood-red eyes filled with the intent of a hunter.

"We're doomed!" Yu Ruoxue looked at the zombies rushing towards her and couldn't help but close her eyes in fear. Was her earlier act of spite just right or wrong?

Perhaps there was no answer from the beginning, nor was there any need for an answer.

"Get out of my way, all of you!!!" A terrifying roar suddenly rang in the girl's ears, but the warm and reassuring feeling, along with the familiar voice, was intoxicating.
