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

This time, they did as Lin Ling wished, cutting down about a hundred trees, which exhausted Zuo You. After returning home, she ate some hot food, washed up, and went straight to sleep.

Late at night, Zuo You suddenly sat up in her sleep, her eyes sharply fixed on the surging figures outside the courtyard, this time numbering nearly ten.

Lin Ling opened her eyes and noticed the commotion. She cautiously walked to Zuo You's side, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked down at the commotion.

This wasn't the first time their villa had been visited; someone had secretly visited on the fifth night after they checked in.

These people's target was Erdan, a big piece of meat. Unsurprisingly, he was frozen into an ice sculpture by Zuo You. Zuo You threw him into her space, and no one could find him. But slowly, something was wrong.

More and more people came to patronize Zuoyou's house; in one night, two groups of people even came.

Zuo You knew she couldn't hide the fact that she had a dog, but she didn't expect these people to be so brazen.

It's extremely cold now, and those awakened ones clearly feel that stealing dogs from Zuo You's house is safer than searching for supplies outside the base.

Zuo You didn't care whether those people's target was Gouzi or the three women. As long as they stepped into the yard in the middle of the night, she would deal with them without even seeing them.

However, she no longer handled it secretly, but openly handed the ice sculpture over to the guard team.

Those ice sculptures were broken into at night, and Zuo You and the others were only forced to defend themselves, which is reasonable and in line with the base's regulations. When the guards came to inspect, they had no excuse to cause trouble for Zuo You.

Those ice sculptures that Zuo You threw into the space before are dead and that's it. They don't communicate with each other and don't know that Zuo You is a devil. Wave after wave of people come to deliver their heads. Zuo You gets no benefit except for being disturbed while sleeping. It's just endless!

It's troublesome and not worth it!

But things were different when the guards found out. With so many people and so much gossip, the news quickly spread throughout the base.

There are three beautiful women in Block B, accompanied by a dog. They are extremely fierce, and anyone who tries to take advantage of them never comes back.

Some people didn't believe it. Beautiful women and dog meat have endless temptations. And so, two more groups of people died. Each time, Zuo You would make a big show of finding the guard team.

Those with ulterior motives, upon seeing this situation, exclaimed that the rumors were true and quieted down for a while. Zuo You and her group also had a peaceful half-month.

Unexpectedly, someone foolishly climbed over the wall and broke in again that night.

An Yingying and Gouzi both woke up immediately, but they did not make any rash moves.

As soon as the group entered the courtyard, a surge of icy energy erupted from Zuo You's body. Neither the enhanced nor the awakened were able to resist. Before they could even scream, they were instantly turned into ice sculptures.

The group thought that this time it would be the same as last time, with the guards just coming to make a formality. However, they did not expect that the guards came with ill intentions this time.

The guard captain's surname was Jiang. He was a dark-skinned young man who looked to be around thirty years old. He had an upright appearance, but his shifty eyes made Lin Ling wary.

The team leader, surnamed Jiang, arrived with a dozen or so members, looking menacing. He pointed at the ice sculpture in the yard, feigning righteous indignation and deep sorrow.

“Ms. Lin, these people are from our official night patrol team. They were just on routine patrol. Why did you drag them into the yard to silence them?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Ling realized something was wrong. She explained, "Captain Jiang, we have absolutely no reason to drag them into the yard to silence them. There are footprints on the wall where these people climbed over. We can find out by checking."

Captain Jiang sneered inwardly, but maintained a serious expression, "Your family gets into trouble like this every other day. Why don't other families ever have this happen? And..."

He pointed to the messy footprints on the wall. "There are so many footprints here, who knows whose they are? Our investigation will take time. You'll have to come with us first, and this dog will have to come too."

Lin Ling: "Captain Jiang, since that's the case, can't we cooperate with your investigation from home?"

Captain Jiang's face suddenly darkened. "You are suspects. You need to go back and cooperate with our investigation!"

Lin Ling's gaze darkened. Zuo You wasn't home; she had gone out early that morning to collect crystal cores. She was worried that things might backfire.

She suddenly smiled, casually spread her fingers, and raised her left hand. "In that case, I'll go. My younger sister is too young to know anything, so she doesn't need to go!"

"I've already said everyone, including the dog, needs to be investigated! And where is your ice-type dog?" Captain Jiang suddenly turned sullen, his tone dark.

"I'm going out. Call me if you need anything!" Lin Ling's tone turned displeased. Did she think she was an idiot? Could she not see through such a low-level situation?

She just doesn't know whether the person behind the trouble they're causing is this guard captain or someone else entirely.

At the same time, He Heze, who was standing at the opposite door, saw Lin Ling's gesture and immediately understood what it meant.

This is a gesture they used to jokingly develop. This gesture means that their boss, Zuo You, is being instructed by Lin Ling to inform Zuo You about the matter.

He nodded slightly, turned and walked into the villa. "Feiyu, listen to what's going on outside, and relay it to me later."

“Okay, bro,” Sun Feiyu replied, sitting on the sofa and openly eavesdropping.

He usually didn't dare to eavesdrop on Zuo You's conversations, because once, despite his usual success in doing so, he was discovered by Zuo You and warned him not to eavesdrop on the sounds inside the house.

In fact, as long as Zuo You is there, she will use a mental barrier to block out the sounds inside the house.

After Zuo You reached the fourth level, her mental power could sense the minute energy fluctuations in the space when Chen Feiyu eavesdropped, so Sun Feiyu's abilities were useless against Zuo You.

"How is it? What's the situation now?" Liang Jingyu pulled He Heze aside and asked in a very fast voice.

The guards knocked on the door across the hall, and they noticed it immediately. They've been observing the situation from behind the window ever since.

Zuo You's place is frequently visited, and they know that too. After all, Sun Feiyu has exceptional hearing; even if he doesn't actively eavesdrop, the noises outside the courtyard won't escape his ears.

“They’re up to no good; this is probably a premeditated scheme,” He Heze whispered. “It’s a very simple setup; you can tell at a glance. The guards are barely disguised. Let’s see how things go.”

The two walked to the window together, lifted the curtain a little, and looked across.

"Alright, I'm looking for you!" Captain Jiang's eyes were filled with lewdness. "You're all coming with me, hurry up! Weapons are not allowed. If you bring weapons into the guard unit, people who don't know the situation will think that Ms. Lin is provoking our guard unit."

Seeing that Lin Ling and An Yingying were holding weapons, Captain Jiang waved his hand behind him, ordering his team to confiscate their weapons.

Lin Ling had no intention of handing over her weapon to the guards. She kicked one of the officers who stepped forward and sneered, "What? You're treating me like a prisoner?"
