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

She was leading a group when they passed by an imported snack store in the morning and thought she'd go in and take a look. To her surprise, they actually had some, and quite a lot of them.

Zuo You smacked her lips. Okay, she admitted it; she had been being petty again.

Lin Ling is the cutest; she really likes this gift.

......

Water supply has become a problem in the community, as the river is teeming with insect eggs, corpses, and zombies.

Some of them had been eaten away by the fish and shrimp in the river, leaving only skeletons, a sight that made one's scalp tingle.

Even if it's for domestic use, many people wouldn't dare use such water because it contains too many bacteria.

Lin Ling could only lead everyone to retrieve the bodies and burn them in a unified manner to prevent the spread of disease and bacteria.

The water that is brought back is first disinfected with water purification tablets, and then purified by a filter.

They also reminded everyone to hang mosquito nets and prepare for heatstroke prevention, disease prevention, and insect prevention.

Zuoyou also contributed a batch of insecticides, sprinkling some in various corners of the park and stairwells.

Outdoor temperatures have reached 65 degrees Celsius in the past few days, so outdoor work has been suspended.

It was too stuffy inside, and the people in Xizi Bay couldn't stand it anymore, so they all ran to the underground parking garage to cool off.

Liang Jingyu, a recently discharged veteran, was assigned by Zuo You to be a training instructor. Every day, he led the search team, the logistics team, and nearly 40 people to train their physical fitness in the underground parking garage.

Some teenagers under the age of 15 are also required by their parents to train alongside them.

Zuo You also pulled her team members to learn some fighting skills from Instructor Liang.

At first, the ordinary survivors could only last for half an hour at most, but after a week of training, they can now generally last for an hour and a half.

When Zuo You first spread the rumor that "adapting to high temperatures can enhance physical fitness," most of the survivors of Xizi Bay did not believe it, thinking it was just an excuse to save diesel fuel, and they were quite critical.

The power supply in Unit 1 of Building 5 can simultaneously power ten air conditioners.

On average, two people share one air conditioner in Zuoyou's team. In addition, there are two air conditioners on the first floor and one in the infirmary, making a total of only eight air conditioners.

They've left two empty units and aren't willing to share them so people can cool off.

To put it bluntly, if all the survivors in the community were crammed together, ten air conditioners would be enough.

This is a classic case of the rich feasting on meat and wine while the poor freeze to death on the streets.

When everyone felt that their physical condition had improved, and the facts were right in front of them, they became even more convinced of Zuo You's abilities.

Zuo You knew all their thoughts and didn't care at all. Whether they believed her or not didn't matter, as long as they didn't cause trouble.

After a week of work stoppage and depletion, every household in the community is experiencing food shortages again.

Zuoyou's team began distributing relief food, one kilogram of rice per person per day, and members who went to the river to fetch water received an additional subsidy.

Before the apocalypse, one pound of rice was enough to feed most people. Now, everyone's physical condition has improved, and their appetite has also increased.

If there are many people in the family, including the elderly and children, they can eat their fill. But if it is a single-family household, they can only eat about 60% full.

Three households that had not participated in labor before ran out of food and approached Yu Shuqin to request relief food, but she refused.

"You won't get any relief food. If you want some, go fetch water from the river."

They have such high hopes. When they need to work hard, they rely on their stored grain to stay home and relax. But when their stored grain is gone, they still want to take advantage of others.

She and Qi Yu had already taken specific measures for the three households; if they wanted food, they could go to work.

This is the core management policy of the community.

Seeing that Qi Yu was tall and strong, the three families had no choice but to obediently fetch water from the river in exchange for rice and flour.

Last time I provoked him, I got beaten up, and the infirmary wouldn't even prescribe any medicine.

This time, I dare not force it again; that would be asking for trouble.

The polar day and extreme heat have lasted for 10 days and are still not over. However, every night, the moon quietly appears, vying with the sun for supremacy.

Even more strangely, the moon turned red.

Every night, when the sun and moon shine brightly, the sky turns fiery red, and everything in sight is shrouded in a layer of red.

At first glance, the scene is beautiful, but after looking at it a few more times, it becomes a bit creepy.

This phenomenon made everyone very uneasy, and they all went to Zuo You, hoping to get some information from her.

Zuo You looked out at the crimson sky and shrugged. "I'm not a god, how would I know what's going on?"

She had never seen this phenomenon before.

In my past life, a red moon would occasionally hang in the night sky, but nothing unusual happened.

Her apocalyptic posts before the end of the world were very different from reality. Hopefully, those big shots won't be misled by her posts.

All she could do was listen to the radio every day, trying to find signals, and then absorb crystal cores to enhance her strength.

All the awakened individuals in the community, including Jiang Xinyu, have successfully advanced to the second-tier awakened individuals.

Apart from Jiang Xinyu's second skill being healing-type, the other characters' skills are still the most basic skills, so there's not much to say about them.

The demand for crystal cores suddenly increased dramatically. Zuo You, Lin Ling, and Gouzi alone had to absorb nearly 260 cores a day, and with the others, it was nearly 340 cores a day.

The small team hasn't gone out to collect crystals and supplies for a week. Every day, besides taking turns escorting the water truck, they are learning to drive trucks, learn to repair cars, or practice fighting with Liang Jingyu.

There was one exception: Lin Ling.

She wasn't afraid of the heat and would go out every day to collect some crystal cores, but going out alone was too lonely, so she wasn't very enthusiastic.

Every time she collected a hundred or so strawberries, she would run home and ask Zuo You for some, saying that she was suffering from the heat and needed to replenish her nutrition.

Is this even human language? A fire-type ability user says he's sweltering from the heat!

What could Zuo You do? She could only spoil her; she was practically a princess.

What if our ancestors are unhappy and don't give us a single crystal core a day?

However, spoiling her was useless. If Zuo You didn't accompany her out, the ancestor would only get 80-100 crystal cores a day, and that depended on her mood.

When I'm not in a good mood, I take 100 pills; when I'm in a bad mood, I only take 80.

They were fed and pampered, yet they were still incredibly arrogant.

This has also led to a critical shortage of crystal cores.

Zuo You thought about it and decided to go out.

He contacted his team members via walkie-talkie: "Qi Yu, Grandpa Sun, and Aunt Yu, stay home. The rest of you, meet in the garage in 10 minutes and head out to collect crystal cores."

Qi Yu's expression shifted between light and dark.

These past few days, he's had two little people in his head, constantly fighting each other.

A little person said, "You're only 21, don't rush, you'll wake up eventually. Your life is more important, besides, your parents haven't been found yet."

One of the little figures said, "If you don't awaken, you won't even be able to leave the neighborhood, let alone find your parents. The zombies outside have already evolved and mutated. What can an ordinary person do?"

Jiang Xinyu looked at Qi Yu with a complicated expression.

He was a very strong-willed guy, and the gap between the two of them was widening, which he found very difficult to adjust to, yet he felt powerless to change it.

I've become a bit gloomy these past few days, and sometimes I don't even want to talk to Jiang Xinyu.
