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

Especially their noses. Zuo You's nose looks exactly like Tang Jingshan's, while Tang Haoran's nose also resembles Tang Jingshan's in some ways. The more you look at them, the more alike they seem!

Not only Lin Ling was shocked, but Tang Jingshan's secretary and other senior executives were also somewhat surprised. On the contrary, Tang Haoran and Jian Hong, who often came into contact with Zuo You, had not noticed this situation.

"Ling Ling, Ling Ling."

Lin Ling was still in a daze and didn't react until Zuo You called her twice. Only then did she regain her composure and shake hands with Tang Jingshan in a friendly manner.

After greeting them, Tang Jingshan went to meet Li Derun, who was undergoing an entry inspection.

Meanwhile, Tang Haoran's secretary, with a tree growing out of his head, was giving a serious introduction to the base to Zuo You, whose head was covered by an ice flower.

He gave Zuo You four gleaming silver badges, four communication wristwatches, and a points card.

"Hello Captain Zuo, I am Qin Hao, Secretary General of the Eastern Base. These four badges are badges for mid-level ability users. They can help you avoid being disturbed by others when you walk around the base. Your points card can be automatically recharged to one or more accounts after activating your communication wristwatch. Let me show you your accommodations first. This way, please."

Facing Zuo You, the first seventh-tier ability user in the eastern base, Qin Hao adopted a very humble attitude, which could even be described as respectful.

"Okay, thank you, Secretary Qin." Zuo You put everything into her spatial storage, nodded to Tang Haoran and the others, and then followed Qin Hao onto the sightseeing tram in the base.

The tram's roof had been reinforced by a metal-type ability user, and although it was dented and uneven from being smashed, it still steadfastly carried out its mission.

The eastern base has four gates: east, south, west, and north, corresponding to areas B, C, D, and E respectively.

Area A, surrounded at the very center, is a symbol of the base's power and status.

Zuo You and her group entered through the city gate in area B. It took the sightseeing tram an hour to pass through the city gate in area A.

"Secretary Qin, this city wall must be at least 50 meters high, right?" An Yingying raised her head high, her little face full of shock.

"Yes, it's a full 55 meters tall! Area A has experimental fields and various research institutes, so we can't afford to lose anything." Qin Hao smiled modestly, but his tone was full of pride.

That's right, such a base is indeed something to be proud of. In just one year, it has become like an impregnable fortress.

The three people and the dog looked around like a country bumpkin visiting the city.

"Secretary Qin, these buildings are all new!" Lin Ling looked at the solemn and dignified buildings, which resembled Qin and Han dynasty architecture.

"Yes, these are all buildings constructed using both metal and earth elements. They are more sturdy than buildings from before the apocalypse, and their heat and cold resistance is also better. Your villa was also rebuilt, but it's not furnished yet. If you need anything, you can redeem it with points," Secretary Qin explained patiently.

It's truly a case of "the rich feasting while the poor freeze to death on the streets."

While most people are still thinking about how to survive in the apocalypse, these privileged people are already improving their living conditions.

A short while later, the car entered a high-end villa area.

Zuo You glanced around and saw that there were only about 30 villas in the entire community. Each villa looked the same, but the facades were quite different, with some having various colors of latex paint and others having various types of stone facades.

Clearly, the entire community was planned and built after the apocalypse; one could only describe it as somewhat orderly amidst its chaotic state.

Following the requirements that Zuo You had agreed upon beforehand, Qin Hao found her a relatively quiet villa, which was larger than the one Tang Jingshan had promised, and was still located on the edge of the residential area.

It's a detached villa with three floors above ground and one floor below ground. The exterior looks like a typical garden-style building, but the large floor-to-ceiling windows and the unpainted, earthy yellow walls make it look a bit out of place.

"Secretary Qin, how come the windows in this house are of such good quality?" Lin Ling noticed that many of the houses had cracked or even broken windows as she walked in, but the windows in the house that the base had provided for them were perfectly intact.

"I just replaced the glass with double-layered bulletproof glass this morning, so it should be able to handle this hailstorm," Qin Hao said with a warm smile.

Lin Ling smiled, clearly indicating that the base valued them quite a bit. "Thank you for your trouble."

Qin Hao: "No trouble at all, this is what you deserve. You can download the base map from your communication wristband." Qin Hao adjusted his glasses and added, "Would you like to activate your communication wristbands first? Let's exchange contact information. If you need anything, you can contact me directly."

Zuo You gave Lin Ling a deep look, and seeing that she didn't intend to speak, she said, "No rush, leave me your contact information, I'll contact you if I need anything."

Qin Hao nodded, clearly still worried about the communicator he had brought. "Okay, then I'll go back to work now."

After seeing Qin Hao off, Zuo You nodded to her friends, indicating that the villa was safe, and then the three of them carefully explored their new home.

The villa had its own garden, but now the garden is still overgrown and deserted, with no trace of grass or trees, only a patch of black soil pitted and scarred by hail.

The wall surrounding the garden was a brick wall over a meter high, which served only a decorative purpose for them. Mu Yingying skillfully added a ring of iron thorns to the top of the wall. Inside the villa, there was a bare, earthen-yellow house.

An Yingying: "This house wasn't built on the spot, was it?"

Lin Ling: "Yes, we need to find someone to do the renovation."

Zuo You: "Let's go out and buy a few communication watches first. Let's not use the watch that the secretary brought. We're unfamiliar with this place, so let's be careful."

An Yingying: "You can't activate points without a wristwatch."

Lin Ling: "I'll go find Da Hong. We're so familiar with him, we can trust him."

Zuo You: "No need, I'll use crystal cores to buy them. You can ask Jian Hong to help us find some renovation workers."

Zuo You has all the building materials in her space, so she can start decorating slowly. She glanced at the bathroom drainpipe and thought that she had wasted her money on cat litter, which she would never use! She could trade it in the market later, as ordinary survivors would really need it.

When she was reborn and started selling cat litter, she had the mindset of an ordinary person from the bottom of society. Little did she know that what awaited her after her rebirth was a wife, a luxury car, and a big villa!

"Sister Xiaoyou, Sister Lingling, I want to discuss something with you." Zuo You was about to disguise herself to buy a communication watch when An Yingying's words made her stop in her tracks.

Zuo You looked at him questioningly: What's wrong?

An Yingying's eyes flickered, feeling a little uncertain. "Sister Xiaoyou, I want to move out. On my way here, I saw some apartment buildings in the next neighborhood, and I'd like to live there."

The living room fell silent instantly; even the dog dared not breathe too loudly.

Lin Ling tugged at Zuo You's sleeve anxiously. She didn't know why An Yingying wanted to leave, but they had been together for a year and were already like family.
