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

There are three ways to awaken:

The first type is self-awakening;

The second type is those whose emotions fluctuate too much, who may also have the opportunity to awaken.

Zuo You's enhanced speed from her past life's awakening falls into the second category.

The third method involves swallowing 10 Tier 1 crystal cores at once. If you survive, you awaken; if you don't, you become a zombie.

This is generally a way for ordinary people infected with the zombie virus to survive by putting themselves in a life-or-death situation, with a success rate of only 10%.

Zuo You doesn't know which type of awakening her ice-type ability is, but the second type is not replicable.

When Erdan died, it felt like her world had collapsed.

No family, no friends, no companions, only zombies behind him.

They ran recklessly forward until they encountered a large army migrating.

It was there that I ran into my high school classmate, He Heze.

He Heze was already an awakened being at that time, while Zuo You had just awakened and didn't dare to kill zombies at all; all she knew was to run.

If it weren't for his protection along the way, we might not have been able to reach the temporary shelter safely.

"Zuo You?" A man's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Hey, speak of the devil and he appears."

Zuo You muttered something under her breath, looking at He Heze who was walking closer.

It must be said that he is indeed good-looking, with well-defined facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a slender figure. He is a typical handsome man from China, sunny and dashing.

In their previous life, He Heze and Zuo You confirmed their romantic relationship three months after the apocalypse.

She was disfigured less than a month after they got together, and the two broke up.

He Heze's eyes lit up when he saw Zuo You; he was somewhat surprised to run into her here.

They never saw each other again after graduating from high school.

Zuo You has a very withdrawn personality. She never attends class reunions and has never been heard to contact any of her high school classmates.

If you do the math, it's been four and a half years since we last met.

Do you live in this neighborhood too?

Zuo You gave a faint "hmm," knowing that He Heze lived here.

He Heze had told her more than once that on the night the apocalypse came, a beam of light shone down from the roof of their building.

Even though he didn't know what it was at the time, he still told Zuo You about it several times with great curiosity.

Three years after the apocalypse, the base began to have communication, and some news naturally reached the T City base.

Zuo You only realized this afterward.

When the end times come, ten beams of strange light will shine from the sky onto all parts of the blue planet.

Some say that bathing in unusual light will cause different changes in the body.

The capacity value of the superpower will be abnormally high.

It's equivalent to having deep internal strength, making it more enduring in a fight.

The combat power rankings provided by the five official bases.

Of the top ten on the list, eight are said to have been baptized by an extraordinary light.

Zuo You guessed at the time that the light He Heze was talking about was very likely one of the ten strange lights.

On the rooftop of Building No. 5 in Xizi Bay.

He Heze died less than six months later, not even making it three years later.

Otherwise, hearing this news would probably break my heart.

Zuo You wasn't sure if the news was true or false.

But all she knew was the suspicious location of this beam of light, and she always had to try it out.

"Zuo You, Zuo You, what are you thinking about?"

He Heze waved his hand in front of her eyes; she hadn't reacted when he spoke to her earlier.

"Hmm?" Zuo You snapped out of her daze and said coldly, "I'm leaving first."

He Heze said with a grin, "No, have you eaten yet? I'll treat you to dinner."

"I have money to eat."

Zuo You frowned and replied impatiently.

He turned and walked out of the residential area.

He Heze quickly followed, "Hey, Zuo You, I haven't eaten either, let's eat together."

Zuo You ignored him.

I went into the small stir-fry restaurant at the entrance of the residential area and ordered a few dishes.

He Heze, who was annoyingly sitting opposite her, also ordered a few dishes and asked, "What are you doing right now?"

"tui."

Zuo You spat the chewing gum into the trash can, looking as cold as ice.

He Heze, lacking any tact, asked again, "When did you move to Xizi Bay?"

Zuo You lifted her eyelids, glanced at him with sharp eyes, and said in an icy tone, "Don't bother me."

He Heze swallowed hard, startled by her gaze, feeling a little bewildered.

Looking at her, her eyebrows and eyes were cool and aloof, her oval face was small and full, her expression was like ice, and her eyes were like a galaxy.

I didn't understand why she had such a strong aura, but seeing that she seemed to dislike me, I didn't say anything more.

Zuo You instantly felt a sense of peace and quiet.

She had no feelings for He Heze, and whether he lived or died was none of her business, as long as he didn't wander around in front of her.

As the food was served, she savored her last meal before the apocalypse.

The taste is just average, but the portion is large.

Zuo You's appetite surprised He Heze; she ate twice as much as he did.

His probing gaze kept darting towards his high school classmate's tall and slender figure.

He Heze found it very interesting, a charming contrast.

The two sat facing each other, quietly eating their meals.

He Heze tried several times to get closer to Zuo You, but Zuo You always managed to cut him off with a sharp look before he could speak.

Feeling dejected after finishing his meal, He Heze offered to pay the bill.

Zuo You took out 200 yuan and put it on the table.

He paused for a moment, then took out the last 100 yuan he had and placed it on the table.

"This is for my meal, the rest is your tip."

Get up and leave.

He Heze glanced at the money on the table, paused, and seeing that she had walked away, he grabbed the money on the table and ran a few steps to catch up.

"Hey, Zuoyou, wait for me."

He's a sucker for good looks, and Zuo You is exactly what he considers beautiful. He pursued her back in high school, but she rejected him.

Now that they are neighbors, what a great opportunity, He Heze didn't want to miss it.

Zuo You felt a hand reach out from behind her, and her body reacted naturally.

He turned and delivered a side kick, sending the man flying.

Seeing the person kicked several meters away and land on their bottom, groaning in pain, she didn't stop. She went straight into the elevator and muttered to herself, "I've held back."

......

"Pop." The big, round bubble burst.

With a "plop," the chewing gum landed precisely in the trash can.

Zuo You stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the city in the night sky, as if she saw a cold, giant beast lying on the ground, ready to drag people into its shadow and devour them at any moment.

"Tomorrow, the sun will no longer rise."

She poured herself a glass of red wine, staring at the blood-red hue in the glass with a bloodthirsty look in her eyes and a playful smirk on her lips.

Tomorrow marks the start of a week of polar night. There will be electricity for the first two days, but power will be cut off in City T starting on the third day.

Panic gripped the city; zombies and darkness were the most terrifying combination in people's minds.

Looking down at her watch, which read 11:30, Zuo You lightly licked her lips, a hint of excitement gleaming in her cold eyes.

He took out Frost Offering and a chain lock from his spatial storage, walked up to Erdan, and scratched the sleeping dog a few times with his foot.

"Egg, wake up, let's go out and have some fun."

"Wang-"

Erdan jumped off his bed, put his front paws on the ground, stretched, wagged his tail, and walked towards the door.

A man and his dog went up to the rooftop.

Zuo You glanced at the half-closed rooftop door, frowned slightly, and pushed it open before walking out.

She closed the door and secured it with a chain lock, wrapping it around several times.

To avoid any unknown events that might occur.

After doing all this, she turned and looked at the empty rooftop.

I saw a girl leaning against a low wall on the edge of the rooftop, quietly looking up at the night sky.

Zuo You looked up, following the girl's gaze.

Apart from the half-moon, not a single star was visible.
