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

This is more painful than killing him.

He had secretly prepared the crystal core long ago. If it weren't for Zuo You's ice element that could help him cool down, he wouldn't even have wanted to come to Zuo You.

Success means boundless possibilities, failure...

No, he won't fail, absolutely not!

The living room fell silent for a moment, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. No one spoke, and the silence was eerily profound.

"I want to try!" Qi Yu roared excitedly. He couldn't stand the silence of the crowd. He felt like a clown, waiting for Zuo You's verdict, and every second was agonizing.

Zuo You pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "Then let's try it."

"Let me do it." Jiang Xinyu looked tired and looked at Qi Yu. "Come sit down here. Don't get the sofa dirty later."

Qi Yu sat in the dining chair, his expression of madness only intensifying, his heart filled with excitement.

At this point, he had put all his previous concerns aside.

His mind was filled with nothing but the vast horizons and bright future ahead.

Jiang Xinyu took out a strap and tied Qi Yu's hands behind his back to the chair. She then deftly took out ten crystal cores and fed them to him.

"what--"

Qi Yu let out a hoarse scream.

I felt like my whole body was being burned, my internal organs were being burned, and every inch of my skin was burning hot. Gradually, I lost consciousness.

Everyone watched with complicated expressions as Qi Yu's body changed. Half an hour, an hour...

As his body temperature gradually rose, Zuo You used her special ability to help him cool down.

Jiang Xinyu squatted down beside him and gently told him about their past, hoping to help him.

This method obviously varies from person to person. Two hours later, Qi Yu's skin gradually turned bluish-gray, his pupils turned white, and his teeth became sharp.

No matter how much Jiang Xinyu cursed and roared, she couldn't bring him back to his senses.

"Roar--"

Qi Yu awoke with a roar that was not human, followed by his body twisting and struggling.

Its head twisted into an unbelievable arc, as if it wanted to bite Jiang Xinyu beside it.

Jiang Xinyu expressionlessly pulled out a dagger, pressed it against Qi Yu's head, and without the slightest hesitation, plunged it into his temple. Qi Yu's head lolled to the side, and he died.

“Tick-tock…”

Along with the blood dripping onto the ground, Jiang Xinyu's large tears fell silently.

The living room was quiet.

After a moment, Zuo You sighed and said softly, "Pack up, everyone. We'll continue the meeting in half an hour."

An Yingying helped Jiang Xinyu to the bathroom to clean up the bloodstains, while He Heze carried Qi Yu's body downstairs, and Lin Ling followed to burn it.

Yu Shuqin mopped the living room floor.

After everyone had tidied up and sat back down in the living room, Zuo You noticed that everyone's spirits were not very high.

Although Qi Yu didn't have very deep interactions with everyone, he had spent more than a month with them in the same team, so how could he not have feelings?

Zuo You sighed inwardly. To be honest, she quite admired Qi Yu. Despite his young age, he was more experienced than He Heze in handling matters.

But now was not the time for sentimentality. She pinched the bridge of her nose, her mind racing as she made arrangements.

"Feiyu, go find Master Qian and have him check the vehicles. We need a truck, three larger SUVs, and my G-Class. Have Master Qian check those too."

She has many motorcycles, off-road vehicles, and RVs in her space, all of which she acquired from a nearby 4S shop after the apocalypse. She also has a truck in her space, but she doesn't plan to take it out.

Over the past month, many cars in the community have been reinforced with steel bars and wires.

The new cars in the space are not as crash-resistant as the cars in the neighborhood.

Xizi Bay is more than 50 kilometers away from the T City base. It is absolutely necessary to reinforce the car to take the survivors from the community away. Now is the perfect time to use the car that is readily available.

Sun Feiyu asked in confusion, "Boss, there are 22 of us in total. Aren't 5 cars too crowded?"

Zuo You casually said, "Xiao Ling and I found a campervan before, but we didn't drive it back. We'll drive it back in a bit, that'll be enough."

Lin Ling discreetly covered for them, saying, "Yes, we'll drive it back later."

A smile flashed across Zuo You's eyes, and she continued, "Yingying, you should take some people and pack up all the water early tomorrow morning."

"Aunt Yu, give me all the keys to the warehouse, I'll go take a look."

"He Heze, go and find Qin Rui later."

"..."

As tasks were assigned one by one, everyone gained a sense of direction and stopped feeling lost and unsure of what to do.

Lin Ling asked, "Sister Xiaoyou, which way do we go? How should we plan our retreat?"

Zuo You said, "Let's head north."

There is no need to study the evacuation route.

The sea lies to the east of T City, something Zuo You hadn't even considered.

It's not that we can't go to sea, it's that we can't go to sea. Even if we found a ship, no one would know how to sail it.

There are more mutated creatures in the sea than on land, and they are also more ferocious.

Aside from water-based and ice-based combat having an advantage at sea, other awakened individuals will experience a decline in combat effectiveness if they haven't adapted to life at sea for an extended period. If they also suffer from seasickness, it will only worsen the situation.

Going south won't work either.

The zombie horde in my previous life came from W City in the south. I heard that W City was the first city to become a zombie paradise, completely blocking the passage between the eastern and southern regions.

Wildfires broke out in the west; the only way to leave is to go north.

......

While Zuo You and her group were preparing to leave, Shanshuiju was also discussing whether or not to leave.

After Li Jishen's death, Wang Zhi did not seize power.

There are several other enhanced individuals in the community, so it's not his place to take charge as an ability user. The current leader is a defensive awakened individual named Chen Youdong.

Wang Zhi wasn't afraid of Chen Youdong; he had his own small group, and they were all sitting in his living room discussing things.

The living room was dimly lit, with only a small, old-fashioned light bulb on.

His team consists of 5 awakened individuals and 3 ordinary people, all of whom were homeowners with whom he had a good relationship before the apocalypse.

The eight people were arguing quietly, their faces flushed.

“Let’s go, we must go, we must go too.” A young man stepped forward. He had dark skin, a serious expression, and a burn scar on his arm, making him look particularly ferocious.

"At this rate of spread, without heavy rainfall, T City will become a sea of ​​fire within a week, and no one will be able to escape unless they go east to the sea."

He was a firefighter before the apocalypse and knew the terror of volcanic eruptions.

He strongly advised the team to stick together and not rely on the mercy of the heavens, because if it didn't rain, everyone would be doomed.

Moreover, even without burning it here, the air quality would deteriorate, making it unsuitable for living.

"But where do we go?"

"We can go out, but what about our parents, wife, and children? They can't go out in this weather."

What about all the ordinary people in the community?

"There are many ordinary people, but few of us who have awakened. When we encounter a horde of zombies, we don't even have time to escape."

The living room fell silent again, with only the sound of everyone's rapid breathing.

After a long pause, Wang Zhi said, "Let's go. We'll wait at the entrance of Xizi Bay early tomorrow morning and go with them. Ordinary people at home can't go out, so they'll just stay in their cars with the air conditioning on. As for ordinary people in the community, we can't worry about that now. If we go and notify them one by one, it will cause a conflict with Chen Youdong and his group, and we might not even be able to leave ourselves."
