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

On the contrary, An Yingying remained calm and composed, seemingly unaffected.

Different life experiences lead to different attitudes towards things.

Without saying much, he and An Yingying quietly followed behind Lin Ling.

What Lin Ling didn't know was that everything she was seeing now was not the normal state of the apocalypse.

The apocalypse has only lasted a little over a month, and the H City base has only been established for a few days.

Because the time was short and there were not many survivors in the base, the slums only appeared to be a poor environment, without much crime, and the rules of survival in the slums were not apparent.

Back home, An Yingying went to the basement on her own and started working.

She's been quite busy lately.

Besides the ten knives she traded with Tang Haoran that she needed to forge, Sister Xiaoyou also asked her to forge some weapons to give to the veteran team members, to help them improve their combat effectiveness.

She planned to forge all long-handled sabers for convenience.

When Lin Ling returned, she looked listless, drooping her head and sitting on the sofa without saying a word.

Zuo You clicked her tongue in surprise. How could she have been so easily discouraged?

She frowned slightly, washed a plate of strawberries, and placed it next to Lin Ling. "Cough, little cutie, are you having an episode? If you have too much energy, you'll be the one keeping watch tonight. Why are you worrying about all sorts of things? Do you think you're a savior? Don't give me that nonsense about worrying unnecessarily or having too much sympathy."

Lin Ling raised her eyes and looked at Zuo You, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Sister Xiaoyou, I just feel that people should have some hope."

Zuo You retorted, "Hmm, what an inspiring and kind little cutie. Do you know that there are four kinds of meddlesome people in life: helping the muddy, carving rotten wood, flipping over salted fish, and scalding pigs to death."

"Zuo You, that's not nice of you. When have I ever been nosy? I'm just feeling a bit emotional! As my older sister, it's only right that you give me some advice, isn't it?"

"And what's this? No advice, no comfort, fine, I know what kind of person you are anyway, but what's with this sarcastic tone?"

Lin Ling was very dissatisfied with the sarcastic tone in Zuo You's voice. Her voice, as melodious as a nightingale's, was filled with obvious resentment. She picked up the strawberries with a glare and went upstairs to her room.

"Don't forget to keep watch."

Zuo You watched her retreating figure and chuckled as she offered a reminder.

Lin Ling gave a cold "humph" and took a vicious bite of the strawberry.

"I'm much more reliable than someone else."

Zuo You didn't argue with her. With a smile in her beautiful eyes, she also sent a cantaloupe to An Yingying and Erdan, and told them to rest early. Then she strolled over to a quiet room that had been set up on the third floor.

She casually sat on the carpet, tossed the newly purchased stone waist pendant into her spatial storage, and then used her consciousness to examine it.

With an almost imperceptible speed, Frost Sacrifice flew toward the stone waist pendant, the tip of the blade piercing it with unerring accuracy.

The waist pendant exploded instantly, and the seemingly ordinary gray stone burst open, revealing a cluster of light blue specks.

These tiny stars seemed to come alive, bright and sparkling, dazzling the eye. They fluttered and disappeared into the Frost Sacrifice's blade, as if all their light had been absorbed by it.

At that moment, the blade of Frost Sacrifice changed at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually transforming from light white to pure white.

Zuo You watched all this with an unchanged expression on her face, but her heart was in turmoil.

Why does it feel like it's getting more and more fantastical?

She took Frost Offering out of her spatial storage and examined it carefully. In addition to the change in the color of the blade, the weight of the entire sword had also doubled.

Zuo You stood up, holding the Frost Offering, and swung it around a few times. To her surprise, the weight of the weapon now felt much more comfortable to handle.

"Frost Sacrifice, do you have any manners when it comes to eating? Or should I find you some stones to eat?"

"Little darling, how about I have someone carve this stone into a big bird, and you can eat it?"

"..."

Zuo You tried to communicate with it for more than half an hour, but it was all in vain; the damn knife completely ignored her.

Enraged, she almost blurted out "Mom," but she took a deep breath, restrained herself, and threw the knife back into her spatial storage.

Actually, they were just afraid of being beaten, afraid of the Frost Festival going on strike.

Sigh, no one else is as miserable as her as she is as a master.

Late at night, Zuo You was fast asleep when she felt her blanket being pulled off. Then, someone snuggled into her arms. The person was trembling all over and making deep, resentful noises.

"Why aren't you warm at all? Hug me, I'm cold."

Zuo You didn't even bother to open her eyes, and mocked, "It's so hot, if you're not warm enough, just spontaneously combust, you've got plenty of fire. It's the middle of the night, and you've come all the way to my bed to keep watch, and you still want a hug? How about I carry you to heaven?"

Zuo You was sharp-tongued, but she pulled Lin Ling into her arms.

Lin Ling was furious upon hearing this. She broke free from Zuo You's embrace, wrapped the thin air-conditioning blanket around herself, and said with trembling lips, "It's so hot! Can't you feel the temperature outside?!"

Lin Ling felt terrified by this awful weather.

One second, I was lying on the sofa watching TV with the air conditioner fan blowing.

The next second, without any warning, the temperature plummeted by 80 degrees! From a high temperature of over 40 degrees Celsius, it turned into an extremely cold temperature of over minus 40 degrees Celsius.

When I opened the door just now, the biting cold wind outside was cutting through the air like a knife, chilling me to the bone.

The heavy snowflakes in the night sky, like torn cotton wool, fell directly from the heavens, almost freezing her into an ice sculpture.

Lin Ling couldn't understand how extreme heat and extreme cold could be seamlessly connected.

"Hmm?" Zuo You opened her eyes, sat up abruptly, and felt the extremely refreshing chill. At this temperature, she felt that the wounds deep in her soul were healing faster.

"Hahaha... Hey, welcome to my icy world, I've got your back."

Lin Ling glanced helplessly at Zuo You, who was suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

"Sis, could you get me some winter supplies first, and then go and deliver some down comforters to Yingying and Erdan?"

The air felt like knives; she found it difficult to even speak.

"Oh oh oh..."

Zuo You was momentarily oblivious to the chilling tension, but upon hearing Lin Ling's words, she snapped back to reality.

Take out thermal underwear, cashmere sweater, cashmere pants, down vest, thick cotton coat, fleece-lined socks, electric blanket, and down comforter from the space.

"You wear it first, I'll go and take it to Yingying."

No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a loud knocking on the door.

When the door opened, Gouzi and An Yingying stood trembling at the entrance.

She quickly brought people in and took out various warm clothing items for An Yingying to put on herself.

She dressed the dog in a thermal suit, down jacket, and down boots.

Erdan isn't used to wearing shoes, so she walks like she's on stilts. Coupled with her awkward cat-like gait, it's quite an eyesore.

Zuo You suddenly remembered something, picked up the walkie-talkie, and shouted, "He Heze, He Heze!"

“Yes, achoo…” came a hoarse voice from the walkie-talkie.
