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

She was a little speechless.

In my past life, I saw others subdue their followers, and it seemed so easy. Why is it that it doesn't work for me?

A boy of about 15 or 6 years old weakly retorted, "Have you ever seen a Superman as a leader?"

Zuo You was speechless; before she could even take over, she was rebelled against.

She frowned slightly and said in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "This is the apocalypse; might makes right."

Lin Ling tugged at Zuo You and whispered in her ear, "Sister, you have to solve their problem."

Zuo You tilted her head, remained silent for a moment, and said, "This is the apocalypse. I can't even guarantee my own safety, so how can I guarantee yours? We can work together to create a relatively stable living environment."

As for food, I can lead everyone out to find it. But as I said before, I can't guarantee everyone's safety, but I will try my best to protect everyone.

The only thing I can guarantee is that if there are any bullies or rapists of women and children in the neighborhood...

A dangerous glint flashed in her eyes. "I will kill him."

The crowd remained silent until a woman who appeared to be around 50 years old stepped forward and asked, "Young lady, how should I address you?"

"My name is Zuo You, you can call me Boss Zuo."

Zuo You acted like she was the number three in the world.

Lin Ling tugged at her again and whispered, "Don't be so arrogant, it makes you look unsteady."

Zuo You was speechless and said, "Isn't it you who said that we should despise the enemy strategically but take the enemy seriously tactically?"

Lin Ling's lips twitched. "Sister, they are not enemies."

Zuo You pinched the bridge of her nose and said to the older woman in a serious tone, "You can call me Zuo You."

The middle-aged woman gave an awkward twitch of her lips and said, "Boss Zuo, I agree with you being the boss, but can't we elect a few representatives so we can discuss things together?"

While speaking, he observed Zuo You's expression. Seeing that her face remained normal, he continued:

“If, as you said, we need to go out to find food, then we must spend a lot of time outside. We can’t trouble you with every little thing for these 7 or 80 people, don’t you think?”

Zuo You raised an eyebrow and said impatiently, "Fine, fine, you guys play by yourselves. I'm going back to my quiet life."

His expression hardened, and he scanned the crowd, warning, "I have a bad temper. If I find out that anyone has designs on my people or my things, even the slightest bit, they won't survive. You can try if you don't believe me."

The reason I took over the community was to avoid trouble.

Now it seems that taking over has also brought trouble.

There are only about 70 people in total, and they still have to go through this whole election thing.

Zuo You still went through with this plan, and the next step is to form cliques.

From now on, even the smallest things will require a meeting to discuss.

What a mess! Who has time to play house with them?

Why not just live your own little life with Lin Ling and Erdan?

An elderly man in his sixties blocked her way and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Zuo, can we talk?"

Zuo You sized up the newcomer and nodded.

The two walked together to the corner of the apartment building.

The old man said, "My name is Sun Zhibin, and I'm an old Chinese medicine doctor. I'd like to join you with my grandson. My grandson is also quite talented. What do you think?"

Looking at this uncle who was a few years younger than my maternal grandfather, with the same profession, the same forehead wrinkles, and the same t-shirt and shorts, I felt a pang of sadness.

She paused for a moment, then asked, "How is your grandson so exceptionally gifted?"

Sun Zhibin pointed to a 15- or 16-year-old boy not far away and whispered, "My grandson's name is Sun Feiyu. We are about 8 meters away from him now, and he can hear us talking."

Zuo You looked at the little boy who had just retorted to her. He had thick, black, short hair, a full forehead, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and well-defined features, exuding a youthful charm.

He whispered, "Come here, I won't hit you."

Sun Feiyu shrank his neck, and seeing his grandfather nod, he jogged over to the two of them.

Zuo You asked with a half-smile, "Do you think Superman could be a leader?"

Sun Feiyu touched his nose and said, "Superman can save the world."

Zuo You had a faint smile on her lips as she asked, "Have you ever killed zombies?"

A hint of sadness appeared in Sun Feiyu's eyes, and he nodded: "Killed two."

He killed his own parents.

On the morning of the polar night, he heard screams in the living room. When he opened the door, he found his parents eating his grandmother.

With his grandfather's help, he bound his parents with blankets and smashed their heads with dumbbells.

I still feel terrified when I think about it now.

Zuo You then asked, "When did you discover that your hearing was abnormal?"

Sun Feiyu replied, "Two days ago, I could hear things quite clearly within a 10-meter radius."

Zuo You was silent for a few seconds, then asked Sun Zhibin, "Grandpa, it will be very dangerous for you to follow me, are you sure?"

A flicker of hesitation crossed his eyes, but he nodded firmly: "Where in this world is safe?"

Sun Zhibin experienced war when he was a child.

He knew that the world had changed.

It was undoubtedly more brutal than the war years he had experienced.

To survive, you must become strong.

He's old, but his grandson is still young. He'll teach him for as many years as he can.

He could tell that this Boss Zuo was a man with principles.

Zuo You nodded, "Can you come with me for now, is that alright?"

Sun Zhibin's brows relaxed, and he repeatedly replied, "Yes, yes."

He wasn't afraid of Zuo You testing Sun Feiyu; he was afraid she would reject him outright.

He had raised his grandson by his side since he was a child, and he knew his temperament better than anyone else; there was definitely no problem with him.

Zuo You thought that instead of pushing the eavesdropper away so that he would turn around and eavesdrop on her, she should accept him and let him eavesdrop on others.

Moreover, awakened individuals with enhanced hearing are very useful; let's keep them for now.

Everything was not quite as expected.

Before the apocalypse, he had a perfectly good plan: to travel the world alone with his dog.

Plans can't keep up with changes; how many people have we recruited already?

If you include Yu Shuqin and Gouzi, that makes nine!

It was still a hodgepodge, with the elderly, the weak, women, and children.

What on earth was she thinking?

Oh right, I originally thought Qi Yu and his group were in charge of the community, and were considered peripheral personnel.

The plan failed because there are now too many people.

Looking up at the pitch-black sky, I couldn't see anything, but the temperature kept rising.

I don't understand why it's so hot when the sun is nowhere to be seen.

He raised his hand to beckon He Heze and Qi Yu over, saying, "Help Grandpa Sun move his house to Building 5."

He Heze pointed behind her and asked, "What do we do with all these people?"

"Ok?"

Zuo You turned around and saw a large group of people standing at the entrance of the apartment building, surrounding Yu Shuqin and chattering about something.

She said coldly, "I already said I don't want to be the boss, so what more do you want?"

Qi Yu chuckled twice and said, "They all want you to be their boss."

No one is stupid; those who voiced their opinions were simply trying to gain benefits for themselves.

Seeing that Zuo You was giving up, he immediately became anxious.

Even a dog could easily beat Zuo You's men.

In situations like this, you definitely need to curry favor with powerful figures.

"No, whoever wants to be it can be it." Zuo You's voice was extremely indifferent, carrying an icy aura.

Are they making a fool of her?

She was unhappy just now, but now they're forcing her to be the boss? Who's going to spoil them?

Sun Zhibin whispered, "Boss, it's better to keep them in check than to let them run wild. After all, we still live here. It's always better to have less dirty business."
