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

Li Derun's complexion began to change, gradually transforming from a grayish-purple color to a glaring white, and then from white to a healthy red.

This change wasn't just happening on his face; his entire body radiated new life under the glow of the golden orb.

Before long, Li Derun slowly opened his cloudy eyes, revealing a pair of intelligent ones.

His eyes lit up immediately when he saw the dog, and he looked incredulous.

In fact, for internal medicine treatment, Erdan's treatment of the ball is not as effective as Jiang Xinyu's wood-based treatment.

Erdan's saliva and healing balls are quite effective in treating external injuries.

However, the difference in rank has been leveled up, as Jiang Xinyu is only at rank two after all.

Besides, she and Zuo You aren't on the same team now, so there's no need to bother others with things she can handle herself.

After Erdan finished his treatment, ignoring Li Derun's burning gaze, he jumped off the bed and rubbed his head against his master's leg, begging for praise.

Zuo You squatted down and patted her head.

"Captain Zuo, thank you for saving the old man. I'll remember this kindness! But could I borrow your dog to observe it?"

Li Derun sat up in bed, feeling very comfortable all over, his aged voice carrying a hint of joy.

"You're overthinking it. You shouldn't hold this favor against me. I'm just doing this for money."

As for observing my dog, forget it.

I'm afraid my dog ​​might tear your family apart.

"Ah, what did Gao Yang do to you again?" Li Derun looked at the people in the room, his old face flushed red, somewhat annoyed.

Throughout the journey, Li Gaoyang caused them no peace of mind.

"I thought it was already quite an achievement for your family to produce one exceptional individual like Li Gaoyang, but it turns out that every Professor Li is exceptional! Tsk tsk tsk..."

After rebuking Li Derun, Zuo You looked at the two people opposite her and narrowed her eyes.

"Gentlemen, I've given you face, but there won't be a next time."

She paused, her gaze sweeping across the room, "Also, don't teleport in front of me."

Zuo You could sense spatial fluctuations and was not afraid of Jian Hong.

But the feeling of being rudely entered is awful.

If you really piss her off, she'll be ready to fight anyone who dares to challenge you!

At worst, I'll be wanted by the military.

Tang Haoran and Jian Hong suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being stared at by a venomous snake.

This sense of danger was something I had never experienced, even when carrying out the most dangerous missions abroad.

Alarm bells rang in both of their minds: Zuo You was an extremely dangerous woman!

Her warning wasn't just directed at Jian Hong, but more so at Tang Haoran, reminding him to keep Li Derun's family quiet.

At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zuo You's warning also indicated that the matter was over.

Tang Haoran saw the confusion and worry in Li Derun's cloudy eyes and sighed. It seemed that Professor Li did not understand his family at all.

After thinking for a moment, he suggested, "Captain Zuo, let's go to the conference room to talk."

After all, we had to find a place to give her the promised grain.

The group walked into the conference room. Tang Haoran instructed Su Ning to take care of Professor Li and asked his comrades to bring in a pot of charcoal.

"Captain Zuo, you don't need to be so hostile towards us. You know very well that we are not enemies."

Zuo You replied perfunctorily, "Yeah, I know. Hurry up and give us the food; it's already past midnight."

Tang Haoran and Jian Hong, as it stands, aside from being a bit naive, are quite reliable, at least they have a bottom line.

At this point, the only people willing to spend so much on supplies to appease the situation are probably those two idiots.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with her.

In less than half an hour, I made 9.5 tons of rice and flour – a huge profit!

Zuo You knew she was asking for an exorbitant price, and it was a rare occurrence that both parties were willing to pay.

The three people and the dog got home very late, didn't chat much, and went to their respective rooms to sleep.

Meanwhile, Li Derun, beaming with pride, was seething with anger and went to Tang Haoran to ask what had just happened.

Tang Haoran didn't help cover it up; he opened his mouth and told Li Derun everything, whether he should or shouldn't have.

After what happened that night, he realized that his way of handling things was not a viable way to lead the team.

Previously, since they hadn't encountered any fellow travelers along the way, Li Derun's family could only cause trouble within the team. Today, even after meeting someone traveling with them, they still made mindless noises.

He can't keep cleaning up their messes; Professor Li has to take care of his descendants himself.

Li Derun felt a little dizzy when he heard Tang Haoran's words. He had no idea that his daughter and grandson were so ill-mannered!

It's his fault! He dedicated his whole life to the country and neglected his family!

"Captain Tang, could you take me to see Captain Zuo tomorrow? I want to apologize to her in person."

"Professor Li, it's too cold outside, and it's not convenient for ordinary people to go out. I can help you contact someone through the walkie-talkie."

"No, no, I should bring my family to apologize in person." Li Derun wasn't stupid. Respect is mutual. You can tell from Tang Haoran's attitude towards Zuo You that Zuo You is a very capable person.

Since the trouble was caused by his own family, Li Derun felt that as an elder, he should make the trip.

......

Zuo You is really exhausted. Her injury hasn't healed in the past few days, and her body has been working overtime.

I fell asleep instantly upon touching the bed, and slept very comfortably.

She dreamt that she was frozen inside an oval ice ball, and inside the ice ball was a mist that had materialized.

The threads seeped into Zuo You's body, and she didn't feel cold at all; on the contrary, she felt very warm.

It's like returning to the most primal state, floating and sinking in warmth.

A warm current flowed through her body, which she found extremely tantalizing.

After an unknown amount of time, the mist on the ice puck seemed to have completely merged into its body, and the surface of the ice slowly cracked...

Zuo You felt like someone was licking her face repeatedly, until the skin was almost rubbed raw.

I lazily opened my eyes; the surrounding light was dim.

Her cool, clear eyes met a pair of watery, dark pupils, and Er Gou's short muzzle rested against her neck.

Seeing Zuo You wake up, Er Gou immediately grabbed her shoulders and frantically washed her face with his tongue.

Zuo You instantly sobered up, reached out and covered the dog's mouth, saying helplessly, "Egg, I've told you so many times, don't lick my face. If you don't listen again, I'll let you go out and experience what it feels like to lick ice!"

Erdan: Who told you to sleep for so long? I can't wake you up no matter what I do!

Hearing the noise, Lin Ling ran in from outside the door. When she saw Zuo You was awake, she ignored the dog saliva all over her face, rushed over and hugged her, tears streaming down her face.

"Zuo You, you're finally awake! Do you know you've been asleep for three days!"

"Three days?" Zuo You looked bewildered. "I slept for three days?"

“Yes, the problem is still that I can’t wake you up! I called Grandpa Sun and Jiang Xinyu over, and together with Erdan, we had a three-way consultation about you, but they all said that you’re just asleep, asleep for three whole days.”

Lin Ling held up three fingers and made a vivid and dramatic accusation.

If the two people and the dog hadn't repeatedly assured her that Zuo You would be fine, Lin Ling would have almost gone crazy.

Zuo You slept peacefully for three days, while Lin Ling didn't dare close her eyes for those three days, fearing that something might happen to her, in addition to taking advantage of the Sleeping Beauty.

Zuo You was completely unaware that she had been taken advantage of. She yawned and said lazily, "So what if I slept for three days?"

She guessed that for some unknown reason, her mental energy automatically shut off the outside world and began to repair itself.

How are you feeling now? How are your injuries?

Zuo You assessed her own condition and was surprised to find that the wound in her soul had actually healed.

Not only that, her mind is now crystal clear, and her five senses have more than doubled compared to before.

Hmm? Her ice-type abilities have also improved; she's hit a bottleneck!

She, who originally needed more than a month to advance to the fourth rank, has actually hit a bottleneck!

The consciousness entered the space and examined it carefully, but the space remained unchanged.

She couldn't understand what was happening to her; it was a bit strange!

That dream, it definitely wasn't a dream!

If it were just a dream, she couldn't have woken up to find her injuries healed and her powers enhanced.

So, what is that ice hockey puck?

Where did it come from?

Zuo You frowned, completely baffled.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with your health?" Lin Ling asked anxiously when she saw Zuo You looking worried.

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm all healed."

Zuo You snapped out of her reverie and stopped thinking about her special ability, mainly because she had no clue what to do.

She noticed that Erdan and Lin Ling both had very mournful looks in their eyes, and she was quite puzzled.

"What happened? Why are you all acting so strangely?"

"We've been without food for three days!!!"
