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

Unleashing his extraordinary senses, he effortlessly dispatched the zombies blocking his path in Unit 2, heading straight for the 15th floor.

The mutated zombie was holding a young man in its hand and had just started eating when it suddenly smelled an even sweeter scent of a living person, and the food in its hand suddenly didn't taste as good.

It shook off the person it was holding and pounced on the delicious food that made its mouth water.

That speed was even faster than the dog before the apocalypse.

Although level one zombies are stronger than ordinary people and have a significantly enhanced sense of smell and hearing, they are still not as fast as ordinary people.

Ordinary people can be killed, after all, humans have weapons and brains.

Unlike ordinary zombies, first-tier mutated zombies are superior in all aspects and often have localized enhancements, such as strength, speed, or defense.

Even a top soldier might not be able to beat him in a one-on-one fight.

Zuo You's eyes were bloodthirsty, subtly revealing a sense of fanaticism.

Without dodging or avoiding, he slashed horizontally at the outstretched claw with the sharp blade in his hand, instantly severing the black, sharp hand full of rotten flesh, and then leaped up and kicked it back to the stairwell.

The zombie roared, staggered to its feet, and fearlessly brandished its claws as it charged toward its prey once more.

Zuo You launched an ice bullet from her palm, which flew toward the zombie's head. Instantly, the zombie's scalp was blown off. Using her toes as leverage, she pushed off the wall and flew toward the zombie. She then plunged Frost Sacrifice into the zombie's forehead, stirred it a few times, and pulled it out.

The zombie collapsed instantly.

Zuo You kicked the corpse, but the skin was too tough, and she was injured in the process.

He gasped in pain; it was a defensive mutated zombie.

Unfortunately, it encountered Frost Sacrifice, which broke through its defenses in one go.

Zuo You doesn't know the limits of this knife, but it's good enough for now.

Aside from conveying emotions to her twice, Frost Sacrifice didn't react at all, which was quite aloof.

He used the tip of his knife to pull out the crystal core, smiled with satisfaction. The crystal core was about the size of two thumbprints, and he put it into his spatial storage.

The energy in the crystal core of a first-tier mutated zombie can be greater than that in a regular second-tier crystal core.

Upon going up to the 15th floor to check, I found two men and one woman lying in a pool of blood in room 1501.

The woman's lower body had been gnawed away, leaving only her bloody intestines hanging below her, along with a few pieces of flesh.

Another middle-aged man had half his brain eaten away, and his brain matter dripped onto the ground, making a "drip-drip" sound.

The last young man, with half his hand severed, lay on the ground, barely alive. With all his remaining strength, he stammered, "Kill...kill me, kill me...Mom and Dad, please."

Zuo You met his gaze with her cold eyes, responded with a "Okay," and swung her sword to sever three heads.

In return, they looted the house, taking two 20-pound bags of rice, one 20-pound bag of flour, some noodles, cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, undamaged furniture, shower gel, shampoo, and so on...

Upon entering room 1502, the door had been torn open from the inside, suggesting it was the home of a mutated zombie. Judging from the furnishings, it belonged to a solitary male.

Following the principle that thieves never leave empty-handed, they ransacked the house again.

The man who found a bunch of oversized women's items such as wigs, skirts, and stockings in the room must have a particular fetish.

Zuo You selected a few wigs and put them into her storage space.

The sounds of fighting earlier attracted more than a dozen zombies that were wandering in the corridors of various floors.

Following the sound, they went up the stairs to the 15th floor, which conveniently saved Zuo You some trouble. They instantly unleashed more than a dozen ice blades, taking care of everything, and half of the supernatural power in their bodies was instantly depleted.

Instead of rushing home, she used her senses to clear out the zombies in Unit 2 and looted some supplies—her spoils of war.

If someone else is capable, they can do the same.

"Hey little girl, can you tell me what's going on outside?"

A middle-aged man mustered his courage and slowly opened the door, revealing one eye.

Huang Jian is a resident of Unit 2, 1001, Building 5. He just saw through the peephole that Zuo You had dealt with the zombie at his door as easily as chopping melons.

Zuo You turned to look at him: "There are no zombies in this building anymore. You can go visit other buildings and find out for yourself if you're careful."

When she got home, she found seven more crystal cores and one first-order mutated crystal core in her space.

......

"Sister Xiaoyou, what happened just now?"

When Lin Ling saw Zuo You return, she went up to her and asked if she had heard the screams earlier.

"It's alright, there was one mutated zombie, but we've taken care of it. Have you made lunch? I'm starving."

Zuo You glanced at the time; it was already 2 PM.

During the polar night, you lose all sense of time.

Lin Ling stuck out her tongue and said with an awkward smile, "I'll go make it now, you bring out some vegetables."

I was worried about Zuo You and for a moment forgot about cooking.

Zuo You waved her hand: "I'm going to take a shower first, then we'll eat what's ready later."

After taking a shower, I took out pickled bullfrog, braised pork trotters, dry-pot cauliflower, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried rice cakes with crab, sizzling beef, and several servings of rice from my storage space.

Next, I took out the boiled beef and mixed it with dog food for the dog.

Remembering something, he asked again, "Has the female homeowner in apartment 802 contacted you?"

A few days ago, 802 said he wanted to follow Zuo You and was tricked by her into killing zombies. Several days have passed, and we still don't know what's going on.

Lin Ling opened the dishes and replied, "No, we've been busy these past few days and haven't checked. I'll go downstairs and take a look later."

"I'll go down with you in a bit."

The zombies have evolved ahead of schedule. I wonder if humans have also awakened ahead of schedule. Zuo You needs to go find He Heze to check on the situation.

In my past life, I heard him mention that it was the power that awakened at the end of the polar night.

After dinner, Gouzi stayed home to unpack the packages, while Lin Ling and Zuo You went downstairs together, one going to the 9th floor and the other to the 8th floor.

......

He Heze looked somewhat listless, lying blankly on the sofa staring at the ceiling.

He was starving. He had a bowl of porridge at noon, but his mother, Yu Shuqin, refused to give him any more.

They said we should conserve food, as long as we can survive.

We experienced six days of polar night, five days of power outages, three days of water outages, and yesterday the natural gas was also cut off.

If it weren't for the rain a few days ago that allowed us to store water, we'd be dying of thirst right now.

Fortunately, Yu Shuqin has a habit of stocking up, so there is no shortage of food at home for the time being.

In fact, middle-aged and elderly people in China have a habit of hoarding goods.

"With food in hand, one has no fear in one's heart." This is a teaching ingrained in the Chinese people for thousands of years.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock at the door, and his expression immediately tensed up.

Early this morning, the resident of 1102 came knocking on his door to borrow grain.

They said their house was burgled last night, and when they woke up this morning, they found nothing, but the little bit of food they had left was gone.

Whether it's true or false, only 1102 knows.

It's understandable that they went to He Heze's house.

Yu Shuqin is a member of the homeowners' committee and can chat with anyone.

When people encounter difficulties, they think of his family first.

But at times like this, with zombies everywhere outside, it's impossible to go out in the dark.

After six days of polar night, even the most resilient person would know this is the end of the world.

Who would lend grain? Who would dare to lend grain?
