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

"You'll find out next time if you look for it yourselves." Lin Ling's tone was extremely calm, yet she remained subtly wary.

You can't compete with her for the crystal core.

Seeing that the two were unwilling to answer, Wang Zhi continued to ask, "Which building are you from? I've never seen you before."

Lin Ling said, "We are not residents of Shanshui, we are here to do good deeds."

"Pshaw, who would believe that? They must be here for personal gain." A voice of doubt rang out from behind Wang Zhi.

"Li Jishen, shut up." Wang Zhi's expression changed, and he scolded.

Zuo You's expression changed instantly. Several ice needles hovered in front of the three of them as she said indifferently, "Either leave, or stay with these corpses."

There is only one residential area near Xizi Bay, and the surrounding area is full of buildings under construction.

As resources become increasingly scarce, conflict between the two neighborhoods is inevitable.

There are more residents in the mountain and water area, so there will be more survivors than in Xizi Bay.

Rather than hiding it, it's better to show some teeth so they won't dare to easily make a move on Xizi Bay.

"Don't be impulsive, let's go now."

Wang Zhi raised both hands, speaking as gently as possible, his gaze sweeping over An Yingying and the others, before leading the two behind him slowly back down the stairs. They began to ascend.

However, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, which did not escape Zuo You's notice.

"Brother Wang, are we going back now? They're obviously looking for something, it must be something good," Li Jishen asked indignantly.

They act so arrogantly at Shanshui Residence, do they think they have no one to rely on?

All the good stuff should belong to them; it's not up to outsiders to take advantage of it!

Before the apocalypse, Li Jishen was just an ordinary office worker.

In the apocalypse, he followed Wang Zhi to kill zombies, saw blood, and performed surgery, gradually developing a violent streak.

"Xiao Li, if we don't retreat, can we win?" Wang Zhi's eyes flashed, and he continued, "Our most important task right now is to clear out the zombies in the neighborhood and gather everyone together, do you understand?"

Li Jishen stiffened his neck and repeated, "But what they're looking for is definitely something good."

Wang Zhi knew they were looking for something good, but what could he do if he didn't have the ability?

Unless the residents of the building gather together and go downstairs to deal with them.

But this group of people can kill thousands of zombies!

Even if we call for reinforcements, they might not be able to win.

Even if we could win, our side would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Moreover, who knows if they have any helpers?

It is not advisable to have a conflict before we have a clear understanding of those people's background.

He just saw it; that group of people were digging out zombie heads. He'll find out tomorrow when he goes to Building 17.

"Let's go back first, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Wang Zhi led the two upstairs.

......

"Sister Xiaoyou, what do you think?"

Lin Ling cleaned Zuo You's wound while asking questions.

She realized that the leader, Brother Wang, was a very cunning person.

After that, bloodshed was inevitable.

However, the proportion of elderly, children, women and children in the community is too large, so there are not many people who are capable of fighting.

"We'll deal with whatever comes our way; we can't just wipe them all out now," Zuo You said casually.

The number of survivors in this community is at least ten times that of Xiziwan. Even if Wang Zhi and his group are dealt with now, Shanshuiju will still have other leaders, and conflict may still occur.

Could Zuo You really eliminate all the awakened individuals in this community ahead of time to avoid unknown dangers? She couldn't do it, nor was she capable of doing so.

She was speechless. She had already said she would clean the wound when they got back, but Lin Ling insisted on treating it now in the dark.

Even if I go back and take a shower, won't I still have to deal with it all over again?

Too much trouble!

After quickly bandaging their wounds, the two joined the crystal core mining team.

Working until midnight, the seven people and one dog finally finished collecting the crystal cores.

There might be omissions, but we can't worry about that now. Everyone is bowing their backs, even Zuo You.

She handed the G-Class car keys to Lin Ling, and in front of everyone, pointed to the modified car and said, "I found the keys to that G-Class by the car. Drive it back."

The group walked out of the underground parking garage.

"what's the situation???"

He Heze walked to the vehicle entrance and exit. The sun was still high in the sky. He glanced at the time: 12:10.

He turned to the others in surprise and asked, "We've been working all night???"

Everyone looked at each other, somewhat bewildered!

"Let's go back first. We've already experienced the polar night, so what's so surprising about the polar day?"

Zuo You casually said something and got into the passenger seat of the G-Wagon.

Back in the neighborhood, the group handed over all the crystal cores they had collected that day to Zuo You.

The zombies are evolving quite quickly today; basically, one out of every three zombies has evolved a crystal core.

He Heze led the team out and harvested 10 crystal cores.

Qi Yu led the team out and harvested 21 crystal cores.

Lin Ling obtained 1 mutated crystal core and 15 ordinary first-order crystal cores.

In addition to the more than 320 first-order crystal cores and three mutated crystal cores that Zuo You collected at Shanshui Residence.

She felt like she had suddenly become rich overnight.

Sun Feiyu handed her the three crystal cores in his hand, "Boss, these are the crystal cores you gave me this morning. I didn't use them, so I'm returning them to you."

"No need, you can keep them for yourselves."

Zuo You also gave He Heze, Sun Feiyu, and An Yingying ten crystal cores each.

I mentioned some points to note and told them to absorb them on their own.

As for Qi Yu and Jiang Xinyu, she didn't say anything; comforting people was something she wasn't good at.

They need to adjust to the sense of loss; this apocalypse is inherently unfair.

......

Yu Shuqin had been waiting for the children in her office on the second floor. When she saw them return, she hurriedly went to greet them.

Seeing the bandaged wound on Zuo You's arm, he paused slightly and asked in a low voice, "Xiao You, how did you get hurt? Is it serious? Should we call Grandpa Sun to take a look?"

He Heze quickly replied, "Mom, the eldest is fine, just a small wound. Is there anything to eat? We're starving."

"Yes, you guys go take a shower quickly. I'll heat up your food for you. Come to room 901 for dinner later."

Seeing that they were covered in dirt and looked exhausted, Yu Shuqin felt a pang of pity in her eyes.

Hurry up and go upstairs to heat up food for the group of children.

Everyone asked Zuo You for some ice before going home to take a shower.

After taking a bath, the dog vigorously shook its body on the balcony to dry its fur.

It was too hot, so after taking a shower, she didn't want to use the hairdryer.

After Zuo You finished showering, Lin Ling was applying medicine to her again, constantly complaining:

“Sister Xiaoyou, you have to admit that you were wrong. You asked us to be back before noon, and then you disappeared without a sound as soon as you left. If I hadn’t come looking for you, were you planning to work all night with Yingying? You’re the boss, you have to have team spirit. Besides, Yingying is still a child and she’s still growing.”

"Oh yes, yes, yes...you're right." Zuo You lay lazily on the sofa and casually replied.

Lin Ling's face flushed red with anger, and she remained silent.

It felt like punching cotton. I took a few deep breaths, quickly treated my wound, and took Erdan downstairs for dinner.

"Wait, take this downstairs." Zuo You handed over a bag containing ten small neck fans.

Lin Ling gave a cold "humph," took the bag, and walked downstairs.

Zuo You, chewing gum, carrying two dozen bottles of iced cola, and with a small fan hanging around her neck, followed behind her and said casually, "Little girl, why are you so angry? It's not a big deal. I'll correct myself next time."

A faint smile finally appeared on Lin Ling's face.
