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

Zuo You walked around the room, nodded, and paid immediately.

This apartment was recently renovated, and the complex is also a new one, having been completed only three years ago, so the occupancy rate isn't very high.

Located in the suburbs, it's a great place, and most importantly... there might be a surprise here.

After the real estate agent left, Zuo You replaced the bed in the master bedroom with her own.

She squatted down, petted the dog, and said, "Erdan, I'll take you to the pet store for the night and pick you up tomorrow."

"Wang Wang-"

Erdan bared his teeth, barked twice, and reluctantly backed away.

For the past month, it has almost lived and slept with its owner. Now that it's being sent elsewhere, it refuses!

Zuo You pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Why don't you wait for me here? I'll be back tomorrow."

Erdan tilted its head, stared at its owner for a long time, then went up to her and snuggled into her arms, letting out two pitiful "woof woof" sounds.

"You say you're ugly, so why do you like to act cute?"

Zuo You couldn't help but chuckle, ruffled the dog's head, and asked with her palms outstretched:

"Stay at home or go to the pet store, home on the left, pet store on the right."

Erdan hesitated for a moment, then extended his left front paw and placed it in Zuoyou's right palm.

Zuo You nodded, prepared dinner for Erdan, put it aside, then took it downstairs to take care of its "life's important matter." Upon returning, she gave it some instructions:

"I'll be back tomorrow at noon, so you're not allowed to poop in the house."

Seeing the dog nod, she checked the doors and windows to make sure everything was alright, then left a bunch of toys for the dog and headed straight for the high-speed rail station.

......

She's going to Wandao Lake, and she'll be taking her dog and driving herself, which is... troublesome.

The dog needs to sleep in the car at night anyway, so there's no need to go through the hassle of moving it back and forth.

T City is not far from Wandao Lake; it only takes a little over two hours by high-speed rail.

After exiting the high-speed rail station, Zuo You hailed a taxi and went to Wandao Lake Scenic Area.

The water quality of Wandao Lake is excellent.

According to measurements, the water quality of Wandao Lake ranks first among all rivers and lakes in China.

It is the only Class I freshwater resource reservoir among key reservoirs.

Although the claim of "seeing the bottom from a thousand feet" is an exaggeration, the lake water is sweet and rich in beneficial elements such as potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium, and is considered high-quality, low-alkaline drinking water.

Zuo You chartered a bamboo raft, sat on it, chewed gum, blew bubbles, closed her eyes contentedly, and felt the gentle breeze on her face and the soon-to-be-gone tranquility and beauty.

For five years after the apocalypse, she never left T City. Lacking the necessary skills, she could only scavenge for scraps near the base.

This time, if she has the strength, she wants to go out and see the sights of the apocalypse...

Good times are always short-lived.

After the lake tour, Zuo You went to the reservoir.

She dipped her hand into the water, and the clear lake water quickly flowed into the spatial pool...

......

That evening, Zuo You disguised herself, crossed a mountain, and quietly arrived at a village.

I randomly found a Wi-Fi network to use and, using an unregistered phone number, published a post about the apocalypse on various major portal BBS forums and social media platforms.

This involves some basic information, including the timing of the apocalypse, four natural phenomena, mutations in plants and animals, the failure of firearms, zombies, awakening, natural disasters, etc.

The several hundred words were edited by Zuo You beforehand.

Hopefully, this will draw the attention of relevant departments. In its previous life, the Dragon Kingdom did take some rescue measures.

A month after the apocalypse, an army came to rescue T City, and Zuo You followed the main force to the T City base.

Although the base was chaotic in its previous life, the refuge it provided cannot be denied.

It's impossible to restore order in such a short time.

Moreover, everyone has selfish desires, and in the last five years of the apocalypse, there would be no such thing as a country anymore.

She also had her own desires; she didn't explain how her superpowers could be upgraded.

Everyone knows how to advance in rank, and how to get ahead of others in the early stages.

If you're not better than others, how can you guarantee your own and Erdan's safety?

The human heart in the end times is the most terrifying thing.

Moreover, according to his memories from his previous life, the military should have discovered the existence of the crystal cores not long after the zombies gradually evolved them.

Why is posting a message so troublesome?

Zuo You didn't want to deal with the authorities; she was lazy and disliked trouble.

Those officials who play power games are too cunning.

Why didn't you post this earlier?

Posting too early, with too much time in between, will only make netizens laugh.

With the apocalypse approaching, some skeptical netizens might still make some preparations.

Moreover, releasing it too early could easily attract official attention and lead to scrutiny.

If such a kind act would cause her trouble, she would rather not do it.

She forwarded the published article to her WeChat account and then sent it to her three college roommates.

Whether they value it or not is up to them. The relationship is what it is, and besides, five years have passed. How much of their previous university life do they still remember?

After removing the SIM card and throwing it into the puddle, Zuo You put the phone back in her storage space and jogged back to the hotel.

The next morning, Zuo You returned to T City.

She didn't pay attention to what was happening online, whether it was being discussed or received attention—these were not things she could control.

I went to the hair salon and got a super short haircut, and they bleached and dyed my hair pink.

Looking at herself in the mirror, looking both cool and beautiful, she smiled, casually ran her fingers through her hair, bought dozens of tubes of hair dye from the shop owner, left the salon, and went home.

......

Zuo You sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, casually chewing gum, while the dog lay on its back beside her.

A rare moment of relaxation and rest for the man and his dog.

"Erdan, isn't your sister cool?"

Touching the dog's belly, she took out a small mirror from her spatial storage and asked rather narcissistically.

Erdan turned its head away in disgust, feeling that its owner wasn't as good-looking as before.

......

Over the next few days, Zuo You drove around T City with her dog.

She needs to find a suitable place to do zero-dollar purchases.

After deciding on the location and route, I went to the wholesale market for non-staple foods.

They exchanged all their money for bottled water and bought out the entire inventory of two brand distributors.

On the last day, she didn't go out or exercise; she spent the whole day organizing the space.

The supplies, valued at tens of millions, consisted primarily of vegetables, fruits, water, and oil.

Secondly, there's dog food, dog shampoo, and medication.

She hardly ever buys her own daily necessities.

......

As her consciousness entered the space, it swept over the unopened packages, and Zuo You sighed.

She used her mind to open the package, and after opening it for a short while, she exited the space.

He lay on the bed, resigned to his fate, covered his head with the blanket, and fell fast asleep.

After waking up, Zuo You stretched lazily, took out a piece of chewing gum and chewed it before going downstairs for dinner.

The end times will come silently in the early hours of tonight.

No, there are unusual phenomena, but most people haven't seen them.

If you cannot resist the zombie virus, you will gradually turn into a zombie from midnight to noon the next day, depending on your individual physical condition.

80% of humanity did not survive this wave, especially the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled.

A small percentage of those who survive the unknown virus will awaken to self-awareness and become enhanced individuals or those with special abilities.
