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

"Roar!" The short, ugly zombie roared angrily. He was impatient with this bug's provocation. His whole body was covered in raging flames, and he kept smashing fireballs with his hands. With scorching power and rage, he rushed towards Zuo You.

Zuo You nimbly dodged, her figure constantly weaving through the air like a dancing elf. Just as the short, ugly zombie was about to get close to her, she instantly conjured an ice shield and blocked it in front of her.

With two loud "bangs," the short, ugly zombie's fiery fists struck the ice shield, shattering it and sending countless ice blades flying in all directions. Two of these ice blades pierced straight into the right eyeball.

Sensing the threat, the fire-type zombie roared and quickly conjured a fire shield.

Every fighting cell in Zuo You's body was screaming, and her adrenaline was surging.

The supernatural power continuously emanated from his palms, sending ice blades hurtling towards the fire shield. The zombies were overwhelmed and could only continuously condense new fire shields to defend themselves.

Zuo You's lips curled up slightly, a sly glint flashing in her eyes.

She had tested it enough; the combat power of a second-tier mutated zombie was nothing special.

She fearlessly charged forward, deftly dodging the short, stunted zombie's fiery palm strikes. With a sliding tackle, she quickly moved behind the zombie, turned around, and delivered a powerful back kick to its shoulder.

At Zuo You's incredible speed, the short, ugly zombie didn't even have time to turn around and could only endure a heavy kick.

Immediately afterwards, Zuo You raised the blade in her hand and slashed it hard across the neck of the short, ugly zombie. With a "crack" sound, the sound of bones breaking rang out, and the short, ugly zombie's head was severed by the blade and rolled to the ground.

Zuo You retreated rapidly, avoiding the dust kicked up as the zombies fell.

The survivors hiding in the dormitory building were shocked; since the apocalypse, they hadn't even dared to leave their rooms.

There are actually people downstairs who can deal with such terrifying zombies.

"Hey...beautiful lady...hero, help me..."

On the fifth floor, a survivor was leaning out of the window, waving a white cloth with "SOS" drawn on it.

Then two more heads popped out and whispered.

"Hey beautiful, what's the situation outside?"

"Could you help us clear out those monsters in the corridor?"

"Could you send me some food? I'll pay you."

Zuo You scoffed, too lazy to pay attention, and casually killed a few first-level zombies that had been attracted by the sound.

I glanced at Lin Ling and saw her give an awkward smile.

A ruthless glint flashed in Zuo You's eyes.

He dug out a cherry-sized red crystal core from the zombie's brain and put it in his pocket.

He put his hands behind his back and slowly walked towards her.

I never imagined that the Cold Flame Demoness from my past life would die by my hand in this life.

Zuo You asked herself honestly if she had treated Lin Ling badly, and couldn't understand why Lin Ling would go looking for crystal cores behind her back.

The supplies are all in her spatial storage; even if Lin Ling kills her, the supplies won't be dropped.

Why would such a smart woman do this?

"Little Yuzu—"

"Wang-"

The dog led Sun Feiyu and An Yingying over.

Sun Feiyu was so excited he was almost incoherent: "Boss, you're amazing! I love you so much! You have the makings of an emperor!"

Zuo You stopped and looked at the two of them in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

An Yingying whispered, "We came out with Sister Xiaoling to find crystal cores."

Lin Ling returned from searching for supplies in the morning and approached Sun Feiyu and An Yingying, saying that they should go and collect some crystal cores together.

Originally, after dealing with four construction sites and collecting nearly 300 crystal cores, we should have gone back.

Lin Ling also said that the weather was too hot and it would be inconvenient to go out later, so she should collect more in case of emergency.

The three of them arrived at the factory area together. There weren't many zombies inside, only about a hundred.

The cleanup was almost complete when a survivor on the dormitory building shouted, "Help!"

As a result, it attracted a fire-breathing zombie!

To cover their escape, Lin Ling lured the zombies away.

If Zuo You hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

After hearing An Yingying's account of the whole story, Zuo You's expression froze.

He glanced at Lin Ling, who was walking towards him with her eyes downcast, and asked dryly, "What are you collecting crystal cores for?"

Sun Feiyu said, "Sister Xiaoling said that you need a lot of crystal cores, so we came out to collect some."

Zuo You's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. She was so angry that her chest hurt. She didn't know whether she was angry at her own petty mind or at Lin Ling for taking matters into her own hands.

At the same time, I felt a mix of emotions and contradictions.

She had only mentioned casually that she needed a lot of crystal cores.

Lin Ling risked her life to help her collect them.

If I hadn't arrived in time, it's hard to say whether the other two would have survived.

Lin Ling is definitely doomed. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!

This is the apocalypse, even Zuo You doesn't dare to wander around recklessly, these guys are so stubborn!

Lin Ling stepped forward, tugged at her sleeve, and said softly, "Sister, it's good that you came."

Zuo You glanced at her with a sullen face. She had two scratches on her body, and her small face was completely bloodless.

A breath caught in my chest, I couldn't let it out, it was suffocating.

"Heh." He sneered, pulled at his clothes, and asked, "Have the crystal cores been collected here?"

Sun Feiyu said, "The dormitory building hasn't been cleaned yet."

Zuo You glanced back at the dormitory building, her gaze dark and tinged with a hint of danger.

"Help me."

Please save us!

"Let's help each other, ladies... ladies..."

"Holy crap, can't you just say something?"

"..."

The survivors in the dormitory continued to shout recklessly, while the loud banging on the door silenced them.

Zuo You walked into the dormitory building without saying a word and swiftly killed all the zombies.

There were three survivors in the building, two men and one woman, all of whom looked to be around 25 or 6 years old.

She burst through the door, gathered the three of them in one room, her gaze darkening, and asked, "Do you know that sound attracts zombies' attention?"

The man smiled ingratiatingly: "We can't help it. If we don't call out to you, you won't see us."

The man was a workshop worker in the factory. The factory usually operated on three shifts, but when the apocalypse came, he happened to be on leave, and he was all alone in the dormitory.

I survived until now thanks to some food stored up by my roommates, but I've run out of food.

Seeing a lifeline, he was determined to hold on tight. He whispered to Lin Ling and her group, but they either didn't hear him or not, and completely ignored him.

The only thing you can do is shout out loud, call out a couple of times, and the zombies will come and knock on the door. If you stay quiet for a while, the zombies will leave.

He kept calling for help intermittently, and now the door was shaking from being pounded on by the zombies.

Zuo You nodded, looked at the other two, and asked, "You also know that sound will attract the attention of zombies."

The two nodded cautiously in agreement.

Zuo You smiled mockingly and was about to make a move when a sword pierced the first man's throat. The man fell to the ground dead before he could even scream.

"what--"

A man and a woman were so frightened that they crouched down, covering their heads, and screamed in terror.

"Sister Xiaoyou, these two people didn't shout. The zombies were attracted by this person." Lin Ling drew her sword and pointed the tip at the fallen man.

Zuo You didn't even glance at her before leaving the room to collect crystal cores.

Sun Feiyu was stunned and couldn't come to his senses. How could he have killed someone?

An Yingying tugged at him and pulled him out of the room to collect crystal cores.

The man squatting on the ground cautiously looked up and found that only Lin Ling was left in the room.

He whispered, "Boss, can you take us with you? I'm strong and can do the work."
