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

Jian Hong was speechless. The closer you get to Lin Ling, the more you'll discover how stingy she is—she's really stingy! Like a mythical beast, she only eats and doesn't excrete! She's even stingier than Zuo You; the couple is stingy to the extreme.

Tang Haoran pushed Jian Hong aside and walked into the living room. Finding no place to sit, he simply stood and talked.

"Zuo You, have you felt the change in temperature?" Tang Haoran spoke in the style that Zuo You greatly admired, without any beating around the bush.

Zuo You took out two chairs from her spatial storage and nodded slightly to him.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Tang Haoran asked, sitting across from her.

Zuo You pondered for a moment, "I suggest we set off as soon as possible. The current temperature doesn't affect our travel, so the sooner we leave, the sooner we'll get to the base. Nobody knows what the situation will be like tomorrow or the day after. If things don't go well, we can find another place to stay temporarily."

What's strange about the apocalypse is the uncertainty. You don't know if it will suddenly become extremely hot again tomorrow, or if the temperature will just rise by five degrees like today. If it becomes extremely hot again, the ice will melt rapidly, and the water level in low-lying areas will rise wildly.

Tang Haoran was concerned that if they were in a low-lying area, they wouldn't have time to run.

Zuo You's thinking was rather simple: since the extreme cold had changed, there were only two possible outcomes: safely reaching the base or being stranded outside.

While we can still walk, let's leave as soon as possible. Even if we have to stay outside, at least we'll be closer to the base.

The two explained their considerations, and Lin Ling asked, "Can't we take a route through higher ground with taller buildings? There's ice everywhere now, so it doesn't matter which way we go, right? If we choose a route, we'll have plenty of time to deal with extreme heat."

And so, the group continued their journey to the eastern base, until nightfall, when they found an office building to rest temporarily.

As soon as Zuo You got out of the car, she noticed something was wrong. There was a zombie in the building, and judging from its energy fluctuations, it was a seventh-level mutated zombie.

She shouted sternly, "Everyone back in your cars, away from the office building!"

Upon hearing this, everyone knew there was danger nearby and hurriedly got back into the car.

Jian Hong was surprised! He had roughly inspected the office building and found no problems.

How did Zuo You know there were zombies in the building?

Just as Jian Hong was about to go back for a second check, he felt a sinister gaze fixed on him, and a chill ran from his limbs straight to his head.

He breathed softly and stood still. The next instant, a scorching heat wave rushed towards his face. He teleported behind Tang Haoran, and the cold wave missed its target, falling to the ground and burning a hole a meter in diameter in the ice.

"I'll do it!" Lin Ling stared at the zombies in the office building and spoke first, her voice revealing undisguised excitement.

This zombie is rather ugly, with only its eyes and mouth remaining as facial features, and its body is covered with red and black cracks, somewhat resembling a lava beast.

"Okay." Zuo You took ten meters back and waved behind her.

Taking advantage of the moment when Lin Ling was locked in combat with the fire-type zombie, the members of the Azure Dragon team also moved away from the battlefield.

A seventh-tier mutated fire-type zombie, who was waiting by the window, saw this scene and roared angrily. It smashed straight through the wall blocking its way, jumped onto the ice, and released a rain of fire. Lin Ling spread her five fingers and two fire phoenixes appeared in her palms. They grew rapidly in the air, and then suddenly flapped her wings, and the rain of fire disappeared without a trace.

Tang Haoran and Jian Hong were getting a toothache watching this skill; they were truly exasperated with the two of them! They even developed the same skill, as if they were afraid everyone wouldn't know they were a couple? It's sickeningly sweet!

Lin Ling's Fire Phoenix and Zuo You's Ice Phoenix look exactly alike, but Lin Ling's Fire Phoenix is ​​smaller than Zuo You's Ice Phoenix. It doesn't have any mental abilities to control it and looks rather dull. Nevertheless, the power of this move is still extremely terrifying.

"Roar!" The fire-type zombie roared as it saw its skill interrupted by the ugly woman on the other side. It opened its mouth wide and fired fireballs at Lin Ling.

"Wow, a Peashooter!" Lin Ling exclaimed, her eyes gleaming. Every time she fought against fellow zombies or mutated beasts, she was able to develop new ideas.

She bent her legs, and heat from her supernatural powers surged from the soles of her feet. Suddenly, her figure swayed, and she was launched forward. At the same time, the two fire phoenixes hovering above her head also spewed out pillars of fire, covering the fireball.

Immediately afterward, Lin Ling, who was close to the fire-type zombie, rushed forward and slashed with her sword before it could react. The fire-type zombie hurriedly blocked with its fire shield, but it was useless. In battles between the same type, one can only rely on combat experience and the strength of one's ability, and it was clear that it was no match for Lin Ling in both aspects.

Besides fighting outside the base, Lin Ling also fights with Zuo You, so her combat experience is quite extensive.

The zombie was brought close by Lin Ling, but after only managing to withstand three moves, it was too late to escape, and her head was chopped off in no time.

Zuo You dug out the zombie's crystal core, a blue crystal core. Another day of living off a woman.

She stepped forward, smiled at Lin Ling, and glanced at the two people behind her. "Let's go in. There's no danger inside anymore. Let's rest a bit. It's getting dark, and I'm hungry."

Jian Hong's teeth ached so much he didn't want to speak, so Tang Haoran notified his teammates to bring the car back.

The office building was still covered in dust, and the footprints of the zombie remained on the ground.

Occasionally, one can see the remains of animals and humans that have wandered into this building and been eaten.

Tang Haoran chose an office at a technology company and asked Su Ning to tidy it up. She then activated her supernatural power, and a gust of wind blew everything in the office, including dust, out the window.

Zuo You took out a mobile prefabricated house directly from her spatial storage and walked inside amidst everyone's astonished gazes.

The prefab house was fairly clean, but the beds and bedding inside had all been slept in. Zuo You waved her hand, putting all the old supplies back into her space, and took out a new bunk bed to place inside.

Erdan needs to spend a lot of time and energy every day, otherwise she won't be able to sleep. So she said goodbye to Zuoyou and ran wildly on the ice until she disappeared from sight.

Tang Haoran and Jian Hong discussed tomorrow's route. While discussing, Jian Hong opened a can of yellow peaches, forked out a large piece, and fed it to Tang Haoran. Tang Haoran naturally lowered his head and ate it.

Lin Ling caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye, raised her eyebrows, and curved her lips in a meaningful smile.

The further they went into the eastern base, the more obvious the temperature changes became. Zuo You sensed that the temperature was rising irregularly, and the biting wind was no longer so piercing.

After traveling for four days, the group was only half a day's journey from the eastern base. The temperature had risen above 0 degrees Celsius, forcing Zuo You and her group to seek shelter indoors as the temperature was rapidly increasing.

In just two hours, the temperature rose from 0 degrees to 10 degrees, the ice on the ground began to melt, and the sound of flowing water could be heard in the surrounding gullies.
