Rebirth in the Apocalypse: My Ex-Girlfriend's Guide to Winning Me Over

"Tsk tsk... that bag of White Rabbit milk candy was a pretty good deal."

Zuo You let out a sigh as soon as she got out of the car.

The villa is a three-story building with a swing chair, a small pond, a set of stone tables, and a well in the courtyard. The decoration has a special Jiangnan style.

When I opened the door, the smell inside wasn't very pleasant; it had a musty smell.

The furnishings inside the house were very simple; apart from the basic fixtures, there was nothing else!

"The staff said that if I needed furniture, I could rent it from the same place I just saw, but I didn't want it."

Lin Ling stood to the side and offered an explanation, but she was also speechless; this bundled sales tactic was quite ingenious.

If you rent a house, we'll give you a house.

Want something else? Sure, just rent some crystal cores.

Zuo You's expression didn't change much; these tactics are probably the same in every base.

The T City base in my previous life was the same.

The subdivided flat she lived in was only 6 or 7 square meters, and it was difficult to even turn around.

There was no bed in the room at the time, and it took a lot of effort to find a 1.5-meter bed.

The 1.5-meter bed was too big; there was no way to walk inside. So, we had to find someone to modify it to 1.2 meters for a fee before we could move it in.

Now look at this three-story villa. Each room is about twenty square meters.

Based on Zuo You's impressions after spending more than an hour at the base, the base seems pretty good.

At least on the surface, the order here seems much better than the T City base where she lived in her previous life.

Zuo You released her mental energy to confirm that the house was safe, and then took out Lin Ling's sofa and placed it in the living room.

The space felt a bit empty, so they brought out a single sofa and coffee table from who-knows-where and placed them in the living room.

A strong mix-and-match style.

Zuo You then took out a dining table and chairs from the space and placed them in the dining room. She also took out a gas stove, gas cylinder, pots and pans, an extra-large bucket, and seasonings such as oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar and placed them in the kitchen.

Then there are basins, rags, curtains, steel bars, and other useful items.

"Egg, why don't you go downstairs and check out the rooms? Since the air conditioning isn't on, there's no need for us to stay together."

Erdan glanced at Zuo You with an arrogant air, then strode forward with his long, graceful legs crossed.

Zuo You's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Where did she learn to walk like a cat???"

Lin Ling shrugged. "Maybe I learned it from TV dramas."

"Should we show her preschool education materials?"

Do you have a learning machine? Take one out.

"It seems so!"

Zuo You remembers receiving a learning machine from the supermarket.

A thought struck her, and an early education learning machine appeared in her hand.

Lin Ling picked up the learning machine, turned it on, and pressed a few buttons randomly. The learning machine then emitted a sound: "p, po-po, little friend, go up the hillside, plant the little flag, ppp."

"Hehe, this is good." Lin Ling smiled slyly. Erdan was busy and didn't have time to disturb my and Xiaoyou's happy life.

Looking at the learning machine in her hand, Lin Ling could even imagine the miserable life that Gouzi would lead in the future.

Erdan wiggled her hips and looked at the rooms on the first floor. She was a little dissatisfied; the rooms were empty and so small. In the end, she said she wanted to sleep in the living room.

Zuo You placed her large, solid wood dog bed next to the TV background wall.

Lin Ling shook the early education machine and coaxed, "Dandan, your sister Zuoyou has found some entertainment for you. If you have nothing to do, take a look at this. It has pinyin and characters. You have to study for 2 hours every day, okay?"

The dog, tongue lolling out, nodded in agreement: "Isn't this just a tablet? Two hours is nothing, I can hold it for 24 hours a day without letting go."

Zuo You patted the dog's head with great satisfaction. What a good dog that loves to learn.

Yingying and Linling both chose to live on the second floor, but Zuoyou rejected their suggestion.

There were only two rooms on the second floor, and it was too hot on the third floor, so Lin Ling was sent to the third floor by Zuo You.

Lin Ling refused, clinging to Zuo You's arm and grumbling, "First of all, I have to be a human being, and only then can I be a fire-type ability user. As a human, I can't stand the high temperature on the third floor. There are only two rooms on the second floor, so I can only barely sleep in the same room as you."

Zuo You's eyes twitched. Hearing this lame excuse, she felt that Lin Ling was treating her like an idiot and trying to fool her.

Lin Ling has been clinging to me a lot these past few days, especially after I got injured; she's practically inseparable from me.

For the first time, Zuo You felt such a warm and affectionate bond with her best friend. Without any complaints, she played along with Lin Ling's feigned innocence and asked, "Aren't you happy sleeping in a 1.8-meter bed all by yourself? Why do you insist on squeezing in with me?"

Lin Ling looked disgusted. "Who wants to squeeze in with you? But there's no other way, it's too hot on the third floor."

"There's an empty room on the first floor. Why don't you go down there?"

Lin Ling jumped up and down, her emotions slightly agitated. "Even a dog would refuse to sleep in this room, and you want me to sleep there? Zuo You, doesn't your heart hurt?"

Dog: "..." Lin Ling, you green tea b*tch, are you being polite?

An Yingying: "..." So this is what Sister Ling is like.

Zuo You: "Okay, okay, that's settled then. Do whatever you want."

We furnished both rooms with double beds and single sofas, and handed over their personal belongings to them.

Lin Ling happily accepted the luggage and asked Zuo You to take out her own luggage as well, saying that she would help Sister Xiao You organize her clothes neatly.

Zuo You handed her luggage to Lin Ling in a daze before she came to her senses. Couldn't she stay on the third floor or the first floor?

It's too hot on the third floor; they can't openly turn on the air conditioning in the base. Even the dogs on the first floor would avoid it, so how could a beauty like her live there?

Zuo You quickly found an excuse for herself, thinking that it would be more reasonable for the two of them to live in the same room.

She went downstairs to the living room and took out her grandfather's rocking chair, which was Zuo You's personal throne.

"Xiaoling, Yingying, you two rest for a while, I'm going to the other side."

"Wait..." An Yingying ran down the stairs. "Sister Xiaoyou, get me some metal."

“Okay.” Zuo You took out a wrecked car from her spatial storage and placed it in the living room. She then took out blackout curtains, solar panels, power strips, and air coolers one by one.

"You and Xiaoling take care of these things, then go take a shower, take a nap, and wait for dinner."

After saying that, Zuo You went to the villa across the street.

To be honest, the decoration of the villa next door is not even in the same league as Zuo You's place.

The interior design here has a very country style.

There was a small, dry field in the yard, and a well next to it.

Although it doesn't have the same artistic atmosphere as the villas on Zuoyou's side, this place is very down-to-earth.

The two villas are the same size. Zuo You's villa has 5 rooms, while He Heze's villa has 6 rooms.

Zuo You took out some tents, several electric fans, and some personal belongings and winter supplies from her space.

These things were brought out from Xizi Bay, and Zuo You put them into her spatial storage yesterday, so she hasn't taken them out since.

There's no need to worry about them not having beds. There are over thirty tents in total, each with over thirty air mattresses. Are you worried about not having enough?

"Xiao You, let's have dinner together tonight." Yu Shuqin wiped her hands and watched with a smile as Zuo You kept taking things out.

"Okay, Aunt Yu, please cook the rabbit meat tonight. We have both mutated and regular rabbit meat. Make two portions."

"Okay, we'll use it as a greenhouse."

Zuo You took out two first-tier mutated wild rabbits, three ordinary wild rabbits, two large pig trotters, five ribbonfish, one sheep, five chickens, potatoes, tomatoes, water spinach, cabbage, eggs, carrots, duck blood, scallions, ginger, garlic, etc. from her spatial storage...

Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the pile of ingredients.

Several women quickly packed their luggage and rushed to the kitchen to help with the work.

After the apocalypse, where have we ever seen such abundant ingredients, let alone eaten them?

Seeing these ingredients gave them even more energy to tidy up their new home.

"Aunt Yu, let's have a farewell dinner tonight. Don't skimp on the food. All these ingredients were provided by Captain Tang, so let's not waste them. Make something delicious tonight."

"What farewell dinner? You kid, why do you put it so rudely? It's a housewarming party."

"Hahaha... Sister Yu is right."

"The boss is very straightforward."

"Don't call me boss anymore, I've already stepped down. Your boss is He Heze."

"So what should we call you from now on?"

"Call me by my name."

"I'm a little scared, I don't dare to call him by name."

"..."

Yu Shuqin was in a great mood and had been smiling broadly ever since moving into her new home.

The others were also in high spirits, overjoyed and feeling like they had escaped a disaster, their faces beaming with smiles.

Instead of dampening the mood, Zuo You chatted with everyone for a while with great interest.

Let them experience the cruelty of the apocalypse and the wickedness of human nature for themselves.
