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

The burly man observed the group of people—old and young, men and women—with a half-smile.

They were all holding weapons, and covered in blood, probably from killing zombies.

Several people looked uneasy; it seemed they were just ordinary residents banding together.

Counting the number of people, there were three more than them, and three of them were women.

One of them is quite good-looking, I'd give him an 85 out of 100. The other two are just passable in appearance.

This is a good opportunity, and I can even bring back three women.

Thinking of this, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said maliciously, "Since you refuse to leave, then you will all stay."

He raised two fingers and waved them, his face somewhat sinister. "Keep the man, take the woman back."

"Oh, oh, oh..."

Upon seeing their boss's signal, the burly man's henchmen immediately raised their weapons and charged forward, shouting and jeering.

Qi Yu and his group were not to be trifled with; each of them had killed zombies and seen blood this morning.

When it comes to fighting, treat them like zombies.

The two sides instantly became entangled in combat, and the scene became chaotic for a time.

When Lin Ling arrived, both sides already had injured people.

She charged into the center of the fight with her sword drawn, and a thug's machete was about to fall on Jiang Xinyu's chest.

He blocked the thug's attack with his sword and kicked him to the ground.

Jiang Xinyu seized the opportunity to step forward and chopped the man in the chest with an axe.

Lin Ling flicked her sword again, severing the tendons in one of the men's hands, and the man's weapon fell to the ground with a clang.

When Yao Yuan saw the person coming, his eyes lit up and he shouted, "Sister Lin, the tallest one is their boss."

The burly man sneered. What, you want a little girl to deal with you?

This is being underestimated!

He raised his machete and slashed fiercely at the back of the person next to him, before heading towards the delicate beauty who came to his rescue.

"Beautiful lady, come with me, I'll make sure you live a life of luxury, you won't need to carry a knife and kill anyone, I'll take good care of you."

Lin Ling coldly slashed at the burly man with her sword. He blocked the attack with his cleaver, and a nick immediately appeared on his cleaver.

The burly man shook his arm, which had been numb from the impact of her sword strike.

His intuition told him that this woman was no ordinary person, and he had bitten off more than he could chew.

He's not someone who just goes into a mindless rage; a wise person knows when to yield.

He quickly backed away, forcing a fake smile, and begged for forgiveness: "Beautiful ladies, here's the oil. We were wrong this time, we apologize."

"Heh, my sister said we can't leave any threats behind."

Lin Ling sneered, kicked him hard to the ground, and pierced his throat with the tip of her sword.

The burly man clutched his throat, staring at her in terror.

This woman is even more ruthless than those gangsters.

In an instant, he collapsed to the ground, no longer breathing.

Seeing that their leader was dead and two of their companions were lying on the ground, the group of underlings dared not linger any longer and retreated.

The group of people from Xizi Bay, enraged by the fight, were not about to let them go, and they took up their weapons and cut down three more people.

The remaining two drove off as if fleeing.

Lin Ling, with a somber expression, examined the wounds of her own men one by one.

The two were seriously injured; one had been slashed in the back, and the other had been slashed in the arm.

The others all had injuries, more or less.

“The injured people will be sent back to Grandpa Sun. Old Huang will drive the tanker truck back and have someone bring out all the repaired cars to fill up the tanks. The rest of the people will collect some gasoline to take back.”

Lin Ling directed everyone to do their work, while she walked out of the gas station.

The main road leads directly to the city center, and cars are parked haphazardly everywhere.

Besides the 4S stores, there are a few car repair shops, a few furniture stores and some factories on both sides of the road.

Not many zombies were attracted by the fighting. She went forward and killed them one by one, then walked back to the gas station to watch everyone busy at work.

Seeing that Lin Ling was in low spirits, Jiang Xinyu handed her a bottle of water and comforted her, "Sister Lin, getting injured is inevitable. Our losses this time are not heavy, but our gains are very substantial. Just these hundreds of cases of mineral water alone can solve our current troubles. And this tanker truck full of oil will be enough to power the community for a long time."

Lin Ling gave a wry smile: "You're more open-minded than I am."

This wasn't her first time killing someone. Last time, it was to protect herself; this time, it was to seize resources.

The two have different meanings, and for the first time, she experienced the struggle for survival among her own kind, which was cruel and realistic.

Seeing one's own people get injured creates a sense of helplessness.

She thought of Zuo You.

If Sister Xiaoyou were here, she would probably comfort herself by saying, "Not bad, this time the kill was very efficient."

"We are all people struggling on the edge of death. If we can't let go, we will only make things difficult for ourselves."

Jiang Xinyu took a sip of water, her voice filled with bitterness.

She misses her parents and her younger brother; she wants to go home.

However, City T is located in the eastern part of the Dragon Kingdom, while City D is located in the northern part.

I'm nearly 1500 kilometers away from home. How do I get back?

We may never see each other again in this lifetime, but that's okay, at least we'll know in our hearts that they're still alive.

I hope my younger brother is an awakened being, capable of protecting our parents.

......

A group of people returned to the community with a full load of diesel fuel, more than 30 oil drums of gasoline, and all the cars in the community that could be driven were filled with gas.

More than 30 oil drums were seized, some were stolen from the group of thugs, some were found at the gas station, and a few were found from the property management office.

As soon as Lin Ling got out of the car, she saw He Heze unloading goods. She walked up to him and asked, "How was the harvest today?"

He Heze tilted his head and wiped the sweat on his sleeve, proudly saying, "We made two trips and returned fully loaded."

He paused for a moment, then added, "It's just that the team members aren't very good at killing zombies; they're too hesitant and timid."

If there weren't too many zombies near Sanshui, we would have suffered heavy losses today.

Erdan chimed in from the side.

Those people are too difficult to manage; they even dawdle when killing zombies.

If she were a human, she could kill zombies with both hands simultaneously.

Sanshui is where they searched for supplies today.

It's somewhat like an agricultural-rural integration area; as long as you avoid the surrounding factories, there aren't many zombies.

A group of people arrived early in the morning and only encountered one group of people robbing supplies.

On the second visit, we encountered two groups of people. Fortunately, our group of more than ten people from Xiziwan was enough to intimidate our opponents.

Both sides exercised restraint and refrained from making a move out of caution.

Lin Ling said, "It's normal to be scared the first time. Next time, let them clean up zombies in the vicinity and practice."

He Heze nodded and asked, "How's it going on your end?"

Lin Ling gave a brief account of the mutated zombies and what happened at the gas station.

He cursed angrily, "Fighting against the heavens, fighting against zombies, and fighting against other people, this is such a damn miserable life."

After a moment of silence, he said, "We found about 10 walkie-talkies, so we can communicate now."

Lin Ling nodded; she had only prepared two walkie-talkies.

Zuo You had 5, but when we distributed them today, we found it wasn't enough.

The extra 10 or so will just solve the current problem of insufficient communication equipment.

"Is Sister Xiaoyou back?" Lin Ling asked.

He Heze replied, "My mother came over just now, and I asked her. She said she hasn't come back yet."

"Okay, you go ahead with your work, I'll head back first. Erdan, let's go home first."

"Wang-"
