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

Zuo You connected the solar panel, took out the air conditioner fan, stored the ice in the water tank, turned on the fan, and a cool breeze blew out.

She had a small electric fan hanging around her neck and was lying in a rocking chair. She had just fallen asleep when Yu Shuqin woke her up.

She was carrying a bag, her face was flushed from the sun, and she was covered in sweat.

"Xiaoyou, help me freeze these ice packs."

That day, she was busy moving, taking inventory of her belongings, and constantly being contacted by the electrician and the mechanic.

I was running up and down the stairs, and I'm completely exhausted!

Zuo You took the bag, froze more than a dozen ice packs, and handed it over, saying, "Wrap something on the outside, so you don't get frostbite."

I took out another bottle of water, chilled it for her, and handed it to her.

Yu Shuqin nodded and took it, then asked, "Our building can run air conditioning, up to ten units at a time. What are your plans?"

Zuo You thought for a moment and said, "Install an air conditioner in the infirmary, a security door at the third-floor stairwell, two air conditioners on the first floor, and only one air conditioner per family member per apartment."

Yu Shuqin understood what she meant.

This is to clear out the first floor so that everyone in the community can cool off.

But the place is too small to fit so many people.

After thinking about it, she finally voiced her doubts.

Zuo You replied, "The air conditioners were installed for the elderly, children, and patients. Everyone else has to endure the heat. Also, the air conditioners on the first floor are on for six hours every night."

People can die in the heat, but she can only take care of those with weaker constitutions first.

Zuo You wouldn't have turned on the air conditioner if she wasn't worried that they wouldn't be able to endure it.

It's too dangerous; it would attract unwanted attention.

If there's no electricity anywhere, why can your neighborhood have air conditioning on every day?

The biggest problem in Xizi Bay right now is that there are too few awakened individuals, resulting in insufficient combat power.

There are still very few awakened individuals. Among the survivors Zuo You encountered during her outings these past two days, only Wang Zhi possessed fire-type abilities.

However, the possibility of a cluster of awakened individuals cannot be ruled out. If this happens, it will be a tough battle.

Fortunately, there's extreme weather, so most people won't wander around aimlessly. If we can stall until she reaches level three, then there's nothing to be afraid of.

Thinking of this, she continued, "Isn't there an appliance repairman in our community? Tell him to install all the air conditioners inside the community and take all noise reduction measures. If you don't need any materials, have He Heze take people to find them. This is very important."

Yu Shuqin said, "Okay, but if we run the air conditioner so much, the fuel consumption will be very high."

Zuo You said, "It's alright, there's no need to save on diesel."

The diesel fuel in that tanker truck can't be taken away even if it's not used up.

All the oil drums in the community are now full of gasoline.

In three weeks, the army will arrive, and even if we don't finish, they will take everything away.

There's absolutely no need to save money.

Yu Shuqin hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Won't the office have an air conditioner? The logistics team and the search team can take a break and it will be cooler there."

Zuo You remained silent for a long time before shaking her head: "Instead of installing one in the office, let's find a few large fans."

Yu Shuqin wanted to say something more, but in the end she didn't speak. She just nodded and left in a hurry.

Zuo You checked the time; it was already 4:30, and Lin Ling still hadn't returned.

He went downstairs and found Qi Yu, asking, "Hasn't Xiao Ling's group returned yet?"

Qi Yu glanced at the time and asked curiously, "Isn't Sister Xiaoling home? They got back earlier than you."

Zuo You frowned slightly, took out her walkie-talkie to call her, but there was no response.

"Could you go to Group Two and ask around to see if anyone knows where she went?"

Qi Yu asked around the second group, but no one knew where Lin Ling had gone.

Zuo You frowned even more, filled with doubt.

Lin Ling is usually quite reliable, so why did she just disappear without a word?

"Could you ask around for me? I'll go check out the nearby construction sites. Contact me if you have any news."

I only got about a hundred crystal cores at the service area, which is far from enough. I need to keep fighting.

She walked out of the apartment building with her dog.

A wave of heat swept over, and Zuo You felt as if she were in a furnace, her body immediately becoming sticky.

I drove a truck to a nearby construction site, where dozens of zombies were gathered at the entrance.

Zuo You floored the accelerator, and the truck, like a wild beast, charged directly at the dozen or so zombies blocking its path. The force of the impact sent the zombies flying.

Zuo You gripped the steering wheel tightly, braked quickly, and at the same time turned the steering wheel all the way to the left. The truck screeched as it scraped the ground, crushing the corpses. The truck then swerved, throwing more than a dozen zombies off the side of the truck.

"Erdan, get out of the car."

The dog shook her head; she was completely disoriented by the drift.

He opened the car door and jumped out, only to be surrounded and attacked by dozens of zombies at the construction site entrance.

Erdan spat out an energy ball, which blasted a group of zombies, breaking off their arms and legs, but didn't kill a single one.

This skill was stolen by the dog from Zuo You, and it's similar to her ice bullet technique.

One is energy wrapped in ice, and the other is energy wrapped in light, but neither has Zuo You's accuracy.

What's the point of blowing up hands and feet? Zombies don't feel pain.

The dog felt extremely embarrassed after being sneered at by Zuo You.

It pounced forward, grabbed the zombie's head with its two sharp claws, and pressed it in, causing the brain to explode, spraying white and red matter all over the ground.

It's not a newbie anymore; it thinks biting with its teeth is too dirty and low-class.

It doesn't fit her identity as a mutated beast.

The man and his dog killed most of the zombies at the door, and Zuo You didn't do anything more.

She followed the dog, digging for crystal cores. The dog was digging too slowly, and when it found one, it would hide it under its tongue.

If you're not careful, you might even swallow a few, just to steal her crystal cores.

After slaughtering all the zombies and collecting nearly 70 crystal cores, she began to store supplies in her spatial storage.

The scaffolding can be used; if you take it apart and sharpen it, it can be used as a weapon. Also, collect some floor tiles and keep them for now.

The concrete has already cracked and is useless.

"We can collect more bricks," Zuo You picked up a brick and tossed it around; it felt quite easy to handle.

Steel bars and wires can be used to reinforce cars, and cables can be used as ropes. They will be useful in the future, so I'll keep them all.

Finally, they took a few more mobile prefabricated houses and drove off with the dog.

Neither the person nor the dog dared to go to the factory area, much less the city center, as these places were too densely populated with zombies.

Don't assume that immunity to the same type of virus means you can act recklessly.

Even if a dozen zombies attack you at once, you can't withstand it.

If too many viruses enter the body at once, they will overwhelm the immune system.

It's like taking sleeping pills. You can take one and be fine, but try taking dozens or hundreds.

The same principle applies to immunity to viruses of the same level.

Zuo You complained that there weren't enough zombies on the road, so she just charged through them, running over them without even bothering to dig up the crystal cores.

It's taking up too much time, and the sun is still so strong outside.

She could only visit one construction site after another. Fortunately, there were five buildings under construction nearby, enough for her to collect crystal cores.

When she arrived at the second construction site, she was somewhat surprised.

The scene was a mess, with blood and entrails splattered everywhere, and corpses lying all over the place, their brains pried open.

Someone is trying to steal her crystal core!

Without getting out of the car, it released its senses and, finding nothing unusual around it, continued driving to the next construction site.
