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

He Heze's face fell. After all, what was he again? Oh, an Awakened One.

It's one thing to stop being the boss, but why did he become the underling?

However, being the goddess's little brother isn't necessarily a bad thing; being close to the water gives you an advantage, right?

Thinking of this, his eyes burned with fervor, and he laughed, "Sure, I'll go with you tomorrow to clear out the zombies in the other buildings."

He killed three zombies today, which boosted his confidence and increased his strength; he could kill one with a kitchen knife.

I chopped three, and the knife got dull. I'll have to get a new one tomorrow.

"Okay, don't leave yet, let's play something exciting."

Zuo You readily agreed.

Aside from being a sucker for good looks, He Heze is actually quite capable.

She doesn't have enough manpower right now, and the cleanup is too slow. If He Heze were added, they could split into two teams to handle the problem.

As for the crystal core, isn't it normal for the younger brother to hand over his crystal core to the older brother?

I only have 16 crystal cores in my possession right now, which is far too few.

"Exciting???" He Heze's eyes widened like saucers, and he rubbed his hands together excitedly.

Zuo You lifted her eyelids and glanced at him indifferently: "Change your kitchen knife first, otherwise you might not be able to cut down the zombies."

He Heze paused for a moment, then gave an awkward smile: "Ah, okay, I'll get the cleaver from home."

Zuo You then asked, "How many people came today? How many didn't come? What's the situation regarding the number of people? Do you know?"

He Heze's expression was somewhat grave: "A total of 19 people came today. There are only 18 survivors in Building 5, and Qi Yu just counted 15 people in Building 6. The other buildings definitely have even fewer people."

西子湾小区7幢楼，5-7号楼有19层，1-4号楼只有12层。

If people from other units also come out to clear out the zombies, the survival rate might be even higher.

At this moment, Qi Yu, along with his girlfriend Jiang Xinyu, came to find Zuo You.

Zuo You looked at He Heze and said, "You go ahead and get busy. I'll look for you later."

He Heze was unhappy. "Give me a piece of chewing gum before I leave."

Zuo You was speechless. She put her hands in her pockets, took out a piece of chewing gum from her spatial storage, and tossed it to him. "Hurry up, I've switched to xylitol now. You can help me with this."

He Heze waved to her with a smile in his eyes and left.

Zuo You's eye twitched as she looked at Qi Yu and the other person.

Qi Yu hesitated for a long time before speaking.

Jiang Xinyu asked, "Boss, can the two of us work for you?"

Zuo You tilted her head, stretched her neck, and sighed.

She had asked He Heze the same question in her past life: "Can I come with you?"

Clinging to the strong is all instinctive.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, sizing up the man and woman in front of her.

The man was a little over 1.8 meters tall, about the same height as He Heze. He had dark skin, a straight nose, and thin lips; he was quite handsome.

The woman was about 1.65 meters tall, slightly shorter than Lin Ling. She had fair skin, dark brown eyes, and soft facial features; she was a pretty girl.

Seeing that Zuo You remained silent, Qi Yu became anxious and said, "We have the ability to protect ourselves, and there are quite a few residents in the community. You need manpower to help with things."

Zuo You's proactive approach to distributing wages and handling affairs was easy to guess, and she didn't hide her motives.

As for the manpower issue Qi Yu mentioned, it is indeed something she needs to address right now.

Both she and Lin Ling are superpowered individuals, so they won't waste time on trivial matters in the neighborhood; otherwise, they would be putting the cart before the horse.

After a brief moment of thought, she began, "Tell me about your situation first."

Qi Yu is a local; his hometown is in the countryside north of the city.

He didn't live here before the apocalypse. His parents bought this house for him to use as his future wedding home. It was just renovated and he hasn't moved in yet.

The night of the apocalypse happened to be a weekend. He brought his girlfriend Jiang Xinyu to their new home for a date, but they ended up getting stuck there.

Jiang Xinyu is from D City in northern China, and both of them are students.

The reason I spoke harshly to Zuo You last night was because I was afraid they would be bullied by He Chao.

The two of them didn't initially intend to follow Zuo You.

Seeing her beat up He Chao's group, Jiang Xinyu had a feeling that following Zuo You might be a good choice.

At least they seem to have a conscience, and they're quite capable.

After discussing it with my boyfriend, we decided to ask if we needed any henchmen.

Zuo You glanced at Qi Yu and asked, "Aren't you going back to the north of the city?"

Qi Yu's eyes dimmed, and he shook his head: "My parents went on a group tour, and no one is home."

Zuo You nodded and said, "You can follow me for now and help Yu Shuqin maintain security in the community tomorrow."

The community does need maintenance, so she needs to hire more people; they're subordinates, not teammates.

Remembering something, she asked again, "How are those two women in your building doing?"

Jiang Xinyu sighed deeply, "One committed suicide, and the other is still somewhat mentally unstable."

"Well, you go and do your work."

Zuo You remained calm, without displaying excessive emotion.

In reality, she should have become numb to these behaviors long ago.

The community was busy until 11 p.m. before the garbage in buildings 5 ​​and 6 and the park was finally cleaned up.

Lin Ling set fire to the body and all the garbage washed down by the flood.

A flash of red light appeared in the sky, and flames shot into the heavens.

After distributing the food and ice to everyone, Huang Jian from Building 6 asked, "Is there any work to do tomorrow?"

Because he lives on the 10th floor, he can't see the situation in the park.

After talking with Zuoyou yesterday, I went to exchange information with the neighbors.

Only then did I realize that the zombies in the neighborhood were all taken care of by this seemingly cold-hearted girl.

Moreover, they were given rice and water for their work.

He felt that this girl was practically a saint reincarnated.

Zuo You replied, "Yes, I will go to the underground parking lot at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

After everyone had left, the three people and the dog went to the underground parking garage.

The three men chained and locked all the security doors of buildings 1-4.

Iron chains are valuable; Zuo You prepared more than 40 of them before the apocalypse.

"Are you all ready?" A smile crept into her eyes.

He Heze gripped the fire axe that the goddess boss had just given him, swallowed hard, and nodded.

Lin Ling and Gouzi were slightly better, but their bodies were a bit stiff.

Zuo You took out her Bluetooth speaker and played music, turning the volume up to the maximum.

The group arrived at Building 7 and opened the stairwell safety door.

"Ah...ah...ah...ah..."

The music coming from the speakers echoed through the underground parking lot.

The zombies in Building 7 immediately let out a low growl.

Following the sound, it instinctively went down the stairs to hunt its prey.

The three people and the dog split into two groups, guarding their respective security gates and carrying out decapitation operations against the zombies.

He Heze's enhanced power made him like a bug in the early stages, easily taking down heads with a single axe strike.

The dog is so bored that it's licking its paws.

Lin Ling and Zuo You were not to be outdone; the two rhythmically took turns poking each other's eyes and shaving off each other's skulls.

In just twenty minutes, the zombies in the building were cleared out.

As for the zombies locked inside, they can only be dealt with one by one tomorrow.

Following the same method, buildings 1-4 were cleaned up, yielding a total of 42 crystal cores.

He Heze asked curiously, "Zuo You, what's this thing used for?"

Zuo You glanced at him indifferently: "Call me boss."

"Boss, what's this thing for?" He Heze changed his mind and asked again.

"Don't ask so many questions if you're just a lackey, the boss won't like it. Have someone clean this place up tomorrow, it's a lot of work, but the pay will be doubled."

He Heze stared in disbelief: "..."

The two people and their dog returned home and enjoyed a delicious chilled fruit feast.

It's so hot! The indoor temperature was still 30 degrees Celsius at 2 a.m.

Even if you live in a residential complex, you can't take the generator out to use.
