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

He wasn't from this factory; the woman next to him was his girlfriend. He happened to be delivering a late-night snack to his girlfriend after her night shift when the zombie virus broke out.

The factory was in chaos, with cannibalistic zombies everywhere. Luckily, he unleashed his potential, ran fast, and hid in his girlfriend's dormitory, escaping unscathed.

Lin Ling glanced at the man; his eyes were full of expectation.

The woman then raised her head, looking at her with teary eyes.

A sense of helplessness washed over Lin Ling. After a long silence, she asked, "Have you ever killed a zombie?"

The two lowered their heads and shook their heads.

They still had food in their house, enough to last a few more days. Until they were completely out of supplies, who would want to go out and face those ugly and ferocious monsters?

Lin Ling asked again, "Do you dare to kill zombies?"

The woman shook her head again. The man remained silent for a few seconds, then looked up and met her gaze, nodding.

Lin Ling handed over the axe from her waist, "Go find a room and kill a zombie."

The woman grabbed the man's arm, saying in terror, "Wu Yong, don't go, you'll be eaten."

Wu Yong hesitated for a moment, then took the axe and looked at the woman: "Zhang Li, there are zombies everywhere. If we don't kill them, we'll die anyway."

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the next room.

Zhang Li covered her mouth tightly, slowly stood up, and followed behind him.

The dormitory room doors are old-fashioned wooden doors.

Wu Yong inserted the axe blade into the crack in the door and pulled it outwards, thus breaking the lock.

Two rotting zombies rushed out. Lin Ling stabbed one of the zombies in the eye with her sword, twisted it around, and the zombie instantly collapsed.

She stepped back a few paces to make room, saying, "The zombie's weakness is its head."

Wu Yong tightened his grip on the axe, veins bulging on his forehead, and with a loud shout, swung the axe and smashed it hard against the zombie's head.

"Ah ah ah..."

They kept smashing it, one blow after another, until the zombie's head was quickly smashed into a bloody mess.

Seeing this, Lin Ling turned around and went to find Zuo You.

"Sister, I want to take them both back. They won't survive if we leave them here. I can teach them how to survive, and they can go out and find their own supplies," Lin Ling said softly, her eyes lowered, not daring to look at her.

"Find it yourselves? How are you going to find it? The weather is getting hotter every day. If they can't find food, are you just going to watch them starve to death?"

Zuo You didn't stop what she was doing, and her tone remained calm.

Human nature cannot withstand the test. If you take them back and treat them differently, they will not be grateful, but only resentful.

If bringing it back would get it into the search team, then bringing it back wouldn't be a problem.

But now, no one knows when this extreme weather will end.

Xizi Bay is not short of food now; these supplies were obtained by everyone risking their lives. She was unwilling to feed two more people for nothing.

Lin Ling didn't say anything, and quietly followed behind her.

After Zuo You finished collecting the crystal cores, Lin Ling remained standing behind her without saying a word.

Looking at Lin Ling's pitiful eyes, she felt a sudden pang of tenderness. "Since you've made up your mind, then take her back. There's no need to treat her differently; just put her in the search team."

After saying that, she went downstairs alone.

An Yingying and Sun Feiyu looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Their intuition told them that their boss was angry!

A look of disappointment crossed Lin Ling's face. She knew she had been willful and that Xiao You was unhappy!

But... Lin Ling secretly vowed, just this once, really!

Thinking this, she said to the others, "Clean up the zombies in the dormitory and find something useful to take back."

Zuo You didn't go straight back to the residential area. Instead, she told An Yingying where she was going and took the dog to a nearby machinery factory.

The dog was still leading the zombies around, while Zuoyou followed behind to clean them up.

They worked until midnight, visiting three small factories with their dog and collecting over 400 crystal cores, including two mutated crystal cores, before finally heading home with their dog.

Back in the residential area, everyone had already rested, except for the officers on duty sitting in the guard post at the entrance, where a fan was blowing.

Zuo You parked the van in the underground garage and, dragging her tired body, went back to the 8th floor.

If the outdoor temperature is 50 degrees Celsius, the tires of a car parked outdoors will be damaged by the sun in just a few days.

Her sleep schedule has been very irregular these past few days, and she slept for less than 3 hours last night. She really needs to get some rest.

Otherwise, one might die suddenly from involution, becoming the first person to die suddenly from involution in the apocalypse.

She laughed to herself.

......

Hearing the door open, Lin Ling immediately stood up straight, looked at Zuo You pitifully, and said in a very sincere tone, "Sister, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

She was too tired to say another word, so she waved her hand and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

After washing away her fatigue, Zuo You felt the temperature in the bedroom; it was still too hot.

The air conditioner was on in the living room, and the doors to the master bedroom and the second bedroom were open. The room was too large, and the outside temperature was too high, so the room temperature didn't drop much and it wasn't very cool.

The air conditioner is like an old ox pulling a cart, panting and whirring, but it can't go more than a few steps.

She simply moved her bed to the living room, closed the bedroom door, and lay down on the bed with her eyes half-closed.

Lin Ling took a small basin out of the bedroom and closed the bedroom door.

Before long, the temperature in the living room dropped to 26 degrees Celsius, a comfortable and relaxing place to sleep.

"Sister Xiaoyou, this is for you." Lin Ling handed the basin to Zuo You.

She sat up, took it, and looked at it.

A small basin of crystal nuclei, containing less than 400, including one first-order mutated crystal nucleus.

Zuo You's eyes flickered, and she tentatively said, "You almost lost your life for these crystal cores. Keep them for yourself; you need them too."

Lin Ling chuckled, "I collected these for you anyway. I can just look for them when I need them."

She paused for a moment, then said in a slightly coquettish tone, "It was wrong of me not to tell you I was going out today. I'll definitely let you know next time, Sister Xiaoyou, please don't be angry, okay?"

She had actually informed Yu Shuqin before leaving today, but Yu Shuqin forgot to tell Zuo You in the afternoon.

Zuo You lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long time before smiling gently, her eyes and brows radiating amusement. "Take off your clothes."

Lin Ling's face flushed instantly, and she stammered, "Ah?! Isn't this... too fast? Isn't it bad? Um... um, I like it..."

"I'll treat your wounds." Zuo You's cheek twitched, and she interrupted in a deep voice.

Lin Ling's face stiffened for a moment, then she said in a soft voice, "Oh, treating the wound? Please explain clearly, it's kind of embarrassing."

Zuo You gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hostility.

Lin Ling chuckled awkwardly and obediently took off her top.

She had two wounds, one on her stomach and one on her arm.

I got injured in the afternoon at the construction site; the wound is quite deep.

Zuo You took out the first-aid kit and carefully treated her wound, asking, "Did you absorb the crystal core tonight?"

Lin Ling's eyes curved slightly, as if she were smiling, "Not yet, waiting for the boss's arrangement."
