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

Zuo You withdrew from the battlefield and watched the chaotic scene.

The ordinary members of the Xiziwan search team have retreated to the safe area of ​​the community.

The other awakened ones easily crushed their opponents, it was a complete rout, a crushing defeat. The opposing team only had 6 second-tier members, their strength was far inferior.

When Wang Zhi saw Li Jishen's head, he broke out in a cold sweat and retreated repeatedly, shouting, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Li Jishen is dead! We surrender! We can become your subordinates!"

"Stop." Zuo You's cold voice rang out, and the two sides quickly retreated, clearly separating themselves.

In just two minutes, eight people were lying on the ground, all of them awakened beings from Shanshui Residence, and six of them were already dead.

“Boss, Li Jishen forced us to come here today. His personal actions do not represent us. Most of us do not want to have a conflict with Xiziwan. Shanshuiju is willing to become an appendage of Xiziwan. Please give us a chance. There are so many ordinary people in the community. If we all die, they will not be able to survive.”

Wang Zhi bowed slightly, his face covered in cold sweat, and spoke earnestly.

He had already backed down when he saw that the boss of Xizi Bay was Zuo You.

The sight of mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the underground parking garage is still vivid in our minds; who would dare to confront them head-on?

Even if all 25 awakened individuals in their community worked together, it would still take them a considerable amount of effort to deal with thousands of Tier 1 zombies.

Moreover, it had only been a week since the end times began.

Who would have thought that Li Jishen, that irritable and brainless idiot, wouldn't even give him a chance to speak.

Ever since Li Jishen awakened his power type, he has become invincible in the neighborhood, and has become arrogant and domineering.

They bully women and children, are irritable and easily angered, and will abuse or even kill ordinary people. They act entirely according to their mood and treat ordinary survivors as ants.

They often mocked and disdained Wang Zhi, their former leader.

Wang Zhi doesn't consider himself a good person. He wants to live, he wants to be strong, and he wants to protect his family. He's willing to do anything for that.

But at least he wouldn't torture and kill ordinary people without reason; that's his bottom line.

His wife and children are ordinary people too. Don't they have the right to live?

Now that Li Jishen is dead, Wang Zhi doesn't feel any regret at all; in fact, he feels great satisfaction.

As for becoming an appendage of Xizi Bay, he had no objection; if one's skills are inferior, one must accept it.

At most, we can hand over some supplies and crystal cores, and everyone can still survive.

When we become stronger, we can always get our revenge. As long as we're alive, we can always rebuild.

Zuo You's fingertips tapped the hilt of the knife rhythmically as she squinted at the billowing smoke in the distance, somewhat absentmindedly.

The weather was too dry, and the fire became increasingly fierce, spreading faster than expected. There was no other way but to run away.

Seeing that Zuo You remained silent for a long time, Wang Zhi's heart trembled. He tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand and said nervously, "Boss, if there's anything wrong, just say so. We'll try our best to satisfy you. Please show us a way out."

She didn't intend to kill these people in front of her. Just like Wang Zhi said, if they died, the ordinary people in Shanshui Residence wouldn't be able to survive.

"I will be leaving here tomorrow. Survivors of Xizi Bay, please treat them kindly if possible," Zuo You said in a cool, unhurried voice.

She knew that as soon as she left, Shanshui Residence would find out.

The two sides are too close; a single telescope is enough to see the vehicles entering and leaving the community.

Since that's the case, there's no point in hiding the itinerary.

Her statement was based entirely on Wang Zhi's reputation in the base during his previous life.

Wang Zhi was shocked and asked, "Wh...what? You're leaving? Where are you going?"

This place is relatively safe now. If Zuo You wants to leave, is there a better place to go? Could there be some information he doesn't know?

Zuo You shook her head, tilted her chin to the west, and said, "I'm so angry, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if I don't."

Everyone looked up at the horizon, but many didn't think much of it.

Zuo You didn't say anything more, and with a solemn expression, led everyone back to the residential area.

In fact, she had no confidence either. The long journey would kill at least half of the people, and if things went any worse, she might die on the way.

......

Zuo You returned home and quickly arranged a few things via walkie-talkie.

"Qi Yu, Jiang Xinyu, take some men to compile a list of those who came with us. I need the list in two hours. Remember to tell them that coming with me could very well mean death."

"He Heze, Sun Feiyu, arrange for people to fetch water from the river and collect all the filtered water by tomorrow morning."

"Aunt Yu, An Yingying, please arrange for people to distribute all the winter supplies. Let the people who are leaving with us pack up and take them with them."

"After you finish these tasks and have your meal, come to room 801 for a meeting."

Zuo You is leaving! The neighborhood was in an uproar, with some people happy and others sad.

Those who were happy felt that with Zuo You gone, they were finally free.

Zuo You is usually too domineering in the community; she's a one-woman show.

She demands that everyone go out and kill zombies. Except for children under 10, even teenagers and the elderly cannot escape her clutches!

Many people can't stand killing a zombie; they can even vomit up their leftovers.

Some survivors discussed with Zuo You that they would rather do more work than go out to kill zombies.

This domineering woman only said one thing: "Whoever's turn it is, they have to go out and kill zombies. If they don't, they won't get any relief food."

What else can people say?

Go kill zombies in the surrounding area, and you'll usually be back in an hour. The weather's hot, so just wait it out.

If the relief food supplies run out, and people have to go out to find food, they can't stand the scorching sun.

Not only that, Zuo You also required everyone to learn how to drive a truck, take turns fetching water every day, and participate in daily training sessions.

She would cut off food if people didn't obey, and kick them out if they still didn't obey. She acted like a local tyrant. Many people didn't actually believe in her or pledge allegiance to her; they just dared not speak out against her.

Now that people hear she's leaving, many want to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Of course, not everyone thinks this way; a small number of people believe that the neighborhood is no longer safe now that Zuo You is gone.

Without Zuo You's combination of kindness and severity, they would still be ordinary people with no power to even kill a chicken, and they would never voluntarily take up a knife to kill zombies.

Objectively speaking, Zuo You deserves a significant share of credit for their current strength to resist and their robust physique.

If it weren't for Zuo You, everyone can imagine what the consequences would have been if Shanshuiju had caused trouble today.

They looted supplies, water, women, and oil.

People had different thoughts, and most of them found it difficult to decide whether to leave or stay.

Leaving means facing scorching heat and zombies, while staying might mean facing a fire.

No one can say for sure whether leaving or staying will give you a better chance of survival.

"Sister Xiaoyou, how many people do you think will come with us?" Lin Ling asked, biting her chopsticks.
