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

Besides, no one had any extra grain.

The person on the 11th floor disagreed, believing that Yu Shuqin was just making excuses, and started arguing with her, trying to enter the house to seize the food.

He swung the baton at them a few times, scaring them away.

Now, who knows where these monsters and demons have come to our door again.

Seeing his mother carrying a kitchen knife and about to open the door, He Heze hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, saying, "I'll open it for you."

Yu Shuqin cried out in pain as her son pinched her: "Be gentle, won't you?"

He looked at his palm in confusion; he hadn't used any force.

He picked up a baton and a flashlight, walked warily to the door, and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

"Zuo You," the person outside replied.

He Heze's pupils dilated slightly. After thinking for a moment, he reached out to open the door, but Yu Shuqin grabbed his hand and reassured him, "It's alright."

The two were high school classmates and had no grudges against each other.

Zuo You is highly skilled in combat. If she were to come and steal food, she shouldn't have targeted their house first, unless she wanted to silence them.

He Heze thought it was unlikely, mainly because he wanted to form an alliance.

In this situation, it's difficult to stand alone. Others have allies, and if you don't find someone to form an alliance, you'll be completely taken advantage of.

Upon opening the door, my high school classmate still had fair skin and a beautiful face, showing no signs of having spent six days in the apocalypse.

His ears instantly burned, but seeing that she wasn't holding a weapon, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, cleared his throat, and asked, "What do you need me for?"

Zuo You looked him up and down and hummed in response.

He Heze stepped aside and said, "Come in and let's talk."

A candle was burning on the coffee table; it was almost finished. The apartment layout was the same as Lin Ling's.

Zuo You sat down on the sofa without ceremony, nodded to Yu Shuqin, ignoring the threatening kitchen knife in her hand and her wary gaze, and asked He Heze:

Have you noticed any changes in yourself?

He Heze pursed his lips, somewhat puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Zuo You said, "For example, you become stronger, faster, have better eyesight, more sensitive hearing, and have a bigger appetite."

He Heze frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly opened his mouth, looking as if he had just realized something.

"How did you know? I'm starving today, and my mom still hasn't fed me enough. And I feel like I've gotten stronger, and..."

Moreover, his tailbone didn't hurt today either. He added half of that to himself.

"We've run out of food at home, what are we going to give you to eat?"

Yu Shuqin glared fiercely at her son, but her gaze drifted towards Zuo You.

I don't know if this son is stupid or not, he has no sense of self-preservation.

Ignoring the wariness in her words, Zuo You fell into deep thought...

As zombies evolve at an accelerated pace, humanity awakens ahead of schedule.

Wherever there are people, there is a social hierarchy. She had no intention of building her own power base, but she had to control this neighborhood herself to prevent others from setting their sights on her.

She had more important things to do, so she couldn't just go out and come back, and she also had to worry about the backstabbing and scheming among her neighbors.

Thinking this, she looked at Yu Shuqin and said:

"Auntie, I've killed all the zombies in Unit 1 and Unit 2. Could you and He Heze help organize people to clean up the corpses in the building?"

Just transport the body to the entrance of the residential area. I will try my best to ensure everyone's safety on the way from the apartment building to the entrance, but I cannot guarantee that everything will be foolproof.

After you finish your work, each of you can come to me and collect half a jin of rice and a bucket of water. You don't need to do any work, just help supervise, and I'll give you the same amount per person, how about that?

She wasn't afraid of people knowing she had food.

She looted all the supplies from the two apartment buildings where zombies lived.

Zuo You has been so high-profile in killing zombies from the very beginning. Nobody's stupid. They can figure out with their toes that all the supplies are with her.

Rather than being targeted by others, it's better to spread your influence and win people's hearts to achieve your goals.

In any case, this amount of supplies is of no use to her.

Yu Shuqin hesitated and asked, "What if we encounter those monsters? Will we get infected?"

Zuo You said, "No, infection only occurs from bites or scratches."

Yu Shuqin frowned and said, "But it's so dark outside, I'm afraid no one will be willing."

Zuo You said, "That's easy to solve. Just have a few cars drive out of the parking lot and use their high beams. This is entirely up to individual will, and there are risks involved. But some neighbors are also out of food, don't you think?"

In her past life, the polar night was only two days away from ending, so she had no idea what the current polar night situation was like.

The zombie already has a crystal core, so she needs to hurry and try to resolve the issues in the neighborhood within the next couple of days.

He Heze spoke before Yu Shuqin could, saying, "Okay, we'll go and talk to them about it. We can't guarantee the outcome, but you have to come with us. I'm afraid some people are so hungry they've lost their minds."

“I’ll have my dog ​​go with you.” Zuo You stood up, glanced at He Heze, and continued, “You should awaken by now.”

He Heze stared wide-eyed and asked, "Awakening??? Is that the laser your dog fires? How do you tell if you've awakened or not?"

"Test your own strength. It might not be the same as my dog's. You might be enhanced."

He Heze glanced around the room, then punched the bedroom door, smashing a hole in it. He was thrilled, staring intently at Zuo You, and asked, "Have you awakened yet?"

Zuo You nodded, and suddenly three ice blades appeared and hovered around her. A moment later, the ice blades dissipated in the air.

She killed zombies in the neighborhood with a knife, so it's normal that they didn't know.

He Heze and Yu Shuqin stared at Zuo You in disbelief.

"Go find someone to clean the stairwell. I'm going upstairs to let the dog out."

Ignoring the stunned mother and son, Zuo You returned to the 18th floor.

She noticed that Lin Ling had returned earlier than her and was currently practicing swordsmanship in room 1802, so she didn't disturb her.

He brought the dog to the 9th floor and instructed, "Egg, go with them to protect them."

"Wang-"

The dog barked unhappily, "Why should I protect them? Who do they think they are? I don't even know them."

It still has packages to unpack; it's busy.

Zuo You rubbed its head and said in a serious tone, "Don't be temperamental. They're helping me with something. They'll give you extra food when they get back."

Erdan sighed and nodded.

Zuo You handed He Heze and his mother a walkie-talkie and said, "The channel is set. You can contact us if anything happens. If you encounter a homeowner who comes to you for help because there are zombies in their house, tell them: I can help them get rid of the zombies after I finish the job, but there will be no pay."

He Heze and his mother nodded and left with Erdan.

......

Zuo You picked up the walkie-talkie and switched it to an encrypted channel. "Xiao Ling, come down. We're going to clear out the zombies in the other buildings."

Lin Ling stopped what she was doing and answered "Okay" into the walkie-talkie.

After putting on our gear, we met up on the 9th floor.

Zuo You told her about her plan to become the king of the neighborhood.

Lin Ling nodded and smiled, "Then I'll have to call you Boss Zuo from now on."
