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

"Let's go eat first." Zuo You quickly interrupted Lin Ling, not wanting her to continue. "I made an appointment with Tang Haoran this afternoon. He will gather all the mutant dogs in the base together to see if Erdan has taken a liking to any of them. We'll go together to take a look. If there are any we like, we'll take them home. We can afford to raise another dog."

The canteen of the city lord's mansion is in another building. The two walked side by side in the mansion's grounds and became the focus of attention.

"These must be our deputy city lord and the Azure Dragon Captain, right?"

"Yes, she must be. She's so beautiful."

"I heard that their relationship is unusual, and they're a couple."

"What's wrong with a pair? Is there a problem?"

"No problem, I just bumped into something!"

"..."

The murmur of the crowd was faint, but it still reached the two of them. Neither of them showed any emotional reaction.

The food in the canteen is very simple. Today's staple food is steamed buns, the soup is pickled vegetable soup, the vegetables are potatoes grown in brick soil, and the meat includes mutated beast meat and ordinary meat, with different prices.

Zuo You took a little of everything, and then took out two salted duck eggs from her spatial storage, giving one to Lin Ling.

"Xiaoyou, Xiaoling." Tang Haoran sat down next to the two, holding a lunchbox.

"Young Master, hello there." Lin Ling greeted him with a smile.

Zuo You nodded at him.

"Xiao Ling, don't call me Young Master, it's too formal. Just call me Brother Haoran." Tang Haoran looked at Lin Ling.

She called out "Brother Haoran" very readily.

Tang Haoran's smile widened as he looked at Zuo You. "Is the food to your liking? If not, I'll call Jian Hong over. I have several fifth-tier mutated beasts in his space."

Tang Haoran was in a particularly good mood at the moment, and his originally serious face was now beaming with smiles.

In Tang Haoran's generation, he was the only one left in the Tang family. How could he not be happy to suddenly have a younger sister? Especially since this sister was very strong.

"Well, I don't lack meat," Zuo You said truthfully after a moment's thought.

Tang Haoran smiled and said, "Then just ask me if you need anything."

"Can we get along like before? You're making me uncomfortable. I still prefer Tang Haoran, the one who called me a shrewd businessman." Zuo You sighed. Their relationship was already pretty good; they were like best friends who teased each other.

She felt incredibly awkward when he suddenly became so gentle with her.

If they end up working in the same place and see each other all the time, she thinks she'll go crazy if it's like this every day.

"You're my sister, how could I call you a profiteer?"

Zuo You spotted Jian Hong's shadow in Tang Haoran's self-righteous tone. She clicked her tongue a few times inwardly, but remained silent.

After quickly finishing her meal, not wanting to talk to Tang Haoran any longer, Zuo You told An Yingying to take Erdan to the training room.

There were more than a dozen mutated dogs, about the same size as Erdan.

The trainer introduced the strengths and weaknesses of each dog one by one. Erdan walked around with cat-like steps, then shook his head in disappointment.

These dogs were all mutant dogs, so they could naturally understand what Erdan meant, and they all barked and shouted.

"Why do you look down on me? I'm the most muscular of all these dogs!"

"What good is being strong! Hey, you grass-yellow black clam, I'm a fire type, super powerful. Follow your dog brother, and I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury!"

"You're just a third-tier fire-type, what's with your dog's bark? Sister Blackie, I'm so handsome, how about it?"

"..."

The training room was filled with howling dogs.

Erdan is 72cm tall and weighs 88kg. She is a robust female dog. She is no longer the short-snouted mixed breed she once was. As her rank has increased, she now looks like a purebred black German Shepherd.

This dog isn't particularly large for a mutant dog, but Erdan's bodybuilder-like physique attracted the admiration of many other dogs.

Hearing these courtship words, she scoffed and said in a dog-like voice, "I'm a sixth-level dad, I don't care about my partner's strength, I only care about looks. Look at how pathetic you all are, do you deserve me?"

The dogs bowed their heads, realizing they couldn't afford to offend the big boss. But not being able to offend him was one thing, and feeling aggrieved was another.

"Although I'm not very strong, I think I'm quite good-looking. I'm a Longmi mixed breed, a Dalmatian. Look how good my fur is, how even and perfect my spots are, blah blah blah..."

Erdan rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. She wrote on the wooden board: They're all too ugly.

The crowd erupted in astonishment. What was going on? This guy was a total sucker for good looks!

"But, but all the mutated male dogs in the base, except for the mutated and enlarged ones, are here." The trainer stared wide-eyed at Erdan in shock.

Zuo You squatted down and patted the unhappy dog. "How about I take you to the mountains to look for wolves?"

The dog tilted its head, pondered for a long time, and wrote: Look at the little female dog!

"Wow! Success!" Tang Haoran exclaimed in surprise when he saw the dog's words. He then instructed the trainers to find all the dogs in the base, regardless of their size or gender, as long as they were good-looking.

Before long, all the mutated dogs gathered together. In the vast sea of ​​dogs, Erdan immediately took a liking to a black and white spotted teddy bear that was about the same size as her.

"Are you serious?" Zuo You pointed at the mutated, enlarged teddy bear, which hid behind its trainer, too afraid to peek out. It was good-looking but useless.

She had the feeling that her own child had been seduced by a seductive and cheap woman.

Erdan had a smile on her face, clearly enjoying the dog's good looks. She circled the poodle twice and then nodded affirmatively.

"Her name is Tai Chi. Her master died from a virus infection in the apocalypse. She was usually timid and very docile and obedient." The trainer squatted down and patted Tai Chi's head, his eyes full of reluctance.

"Come home with me, eat with me, sleep with me, and learn to write. I'll have my human feed you mutated beast meat, and I'll protect you from now on." Erdan reassured Taiji in dog language when he saw that Taiji was a little anxious.

Tai Chi asked timidly, "Is your bed big enough? I don't like sleeping on the floor."

"It's big enough. I'll ask the cat owner to get us a new bed!"

"..."

After the two female puppies chatted for a while, Taiji gradually became less shy and happily followed Erdan around like a little shadow.

"My lovely master, I want a double bed."

Looking at Erdan's handwriting, Zuoyou fell into deep thought. Was the dog's love coming too fast?

"Xiaoyou, I have to go back first." Tang Haoran saw Zuo You in a daze, checked the time, and reminded her, "Don't forget the banquet tonight. Just wear your uniform. Don't wear a formal dress. Your uniform is already the highest symbol of your status."

"Got it!" Zuo You replied, leading her people home.

With the addition of a cute, cuddly dog, Zuo You might have an aura that keeps strangers at bay, which Taiji didn't dare approach, but she quickly became familiar with Lin Ling and An Yingying.

This time, Erdan also refused to stay in the living room and said he wanted to stay in the bedroom.

Zuo You felt a little jealous. She helped the dog make a two-meter-long bed in the bedroom and said, "Roll around as much as you want!" She rolled her eyes at Erdan and went back to her room to absorb the crystal core.
