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

The air became thick and pungent with the appearance of the fire dragon; it was a complex smell that mixed smoke, burnt smell, and the scent of grass and trees.

The smell is terrifying.

Zuo You took out four SUVs from her storage space. "Get in quickly."

"Sister Xiaoyou, let me open it." Lin Ling pressed Zuo You's hand on the car door, her eyes full of worry.

Little Sister You is so good at enduring pain. Lin Ling didn't know how badly she was injured, but right now Zuo You's face was as white as Sadako's. She added seriously, "You sit in the passenger seat, I'll drive!"

"The mountain road is difficult to drive, so I'll drive to get everyone through faster. You can drive after we get down the mountain." Zuo You couldn't help but pat her head to comfort her, "I know my own limitations, I'm not trying to be brave, trust me, okay?"

Lin Ling met her gaze directly and felt that whatever Sister Xiaoyou said was right, and Sister Xiaoyou was the best!

She lowered her eyes awkwardly, sat in the passenger seat, and turned to look out the window to hide the flutter in her heart.

Seeing Lin Ling's adorable appearance, Zuo You suddenly smiled, lightly patted her face, quickly regained her composure, and drove at high speed on the mountain road.

Even though she was injured, Zuo You's senses far surpassed those of others. With unclear road conditions and thick smoke billowing in from afar, her advantage in clearing the way was greater than anyone else's.

If possible, Zuo You didn't want to walk at night; the nights in the apocalypse were very dangerous.

Although zombies' vision is not as acute as their sense of smell and hearing, they are not blind and still have some visual perception ability.

Within a certain range, they will instinctively gather towards the light source, coupled with their keen sense of smell and hearing.

In other words, the zombies are stronger at night.

But I can't worry about that now. If I don't leave soon, I'll turn into charcoal.

A line of four vehicles weaved through the mountains and forests, the mountain range outlined exceptionally clearly by the wildfire.

The group seemed to be racing against time, speeding along a mysterious passage leading to the door of survival.

The roadside vegetation swayed gently in the dim moonlight, making a rustling sound. If it were before the apocalypse, Zuo You would definitely feel that it was peaceful and natural.

Right now, this wind is a death knell.

The Lizishan mountain road is over 70 kilometers long. Zuo You and his group were driving at the front. Looking down the mountainside, they could vaguely see many other vehicles speeding behind them.

The mountain road was difficult to drive on, and Zuo You was on edge. After driving for two hours, she finally left the mountains and arrived in Hai County, N City.

"call--"

Everyone looked at the distant, twinkling lights of the mountains and forests, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zuo You: "Park and rest for five minutes."

Everyone: "Got it."

Zuo You got out of the driver's seat and gave it to Lin Ling.

"Xinyu, help Xiaoyou with her treatment." Lin Ling got into the driver's seat and reminded Jiang Xinyu in the back seat.

"Ok."

Jiang Xinyu released a blue light from her hand, which brushed against Zuo You, causing her to murmur softly in comfort.

After being nourished by the superpower, Zuo You instructed the vehicles to continue their journey.

"Sister Xiaoyou, do you think the fire won't spread over here?" Lin Ling asked, sitting in the driver's seat, her mind relaxed and her tone becoming much lighter.

Zuo You lazily stretched her limbs and thought for a moment, "It shouldn't be. T City and N City are geographically different. T City is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side. If a forest fire breaks out, it will be like a trapped beast. If it doesn't escape, it will be affected."

N City is different; there are fewer mountains here, and very few mountain ranges that are connected. At most, the inner mountain would be burned down.

What Zuo You didn't say was that if the extreme heat doesn't end and there's no rainfall, the consequences for N City will be unpredictable. The environment is so badly damaged that it's impossible to stay there.

So what if they are awakened? Can awakened beings not need oxygen?

"Boss, are we going to the N City base tonight?"

He Heze's voice came through the walkie-talkie, and Zuo You casually instructed, "Instructor Liang, lead the way. Let's find a place to rest for the night in Hai County. Tomorrow, we'll ask someone for directions to the base before making any further plans."

Liang Jingyu: "Okay, boss."

As soon as he finished speaking, the second car slammed on the gas pedal, and the SUV shot off.

The morning radio broadcast only informed them that there was an official base in N City, but did not tell them the address of the base.

It's late at night now, so it's not convenient to ask around or find out what's going on.

After a day of arduous escape, everyone is exhausted and needs a good rest.

Instructor Liang led the team to a small courtyard facing the street, which was a four-story village office building.

The office building had been ransacked. Instructor Liang led Erdan on a tour but found nothing wrong. Apart from a few pools of blood and some tables and chairs, there was nothing else inside.

Everyone parked the car in the yard, and Zuo You waved her hand, putting them all into her spatial storage.

Since everyone assumes she's a dual-elemental awakener, combining ice and space elements, she can use her space abilities openly, which will solve many problems.

Everyone went up to the fourth floor of the office building; some went to take care of their bodily needs, while others set up tents.

The offices on the fourth floor are all very large, each room is nearly 50 square meters.

An office with four two-person tents is quite spacious.

He Heze, along with Sun Feiyu, moved some tables, chairs, and benches to block the stairwell as a defensive fortification.

It's really just a warning.

Zuo You was unusually generous and gave everyone a bowl of self-heating rice, a bowl of self-heating wontons, and a bucket of instant noodles.

This amount of food is definitely not enough to satisfy an awakened being.

Zuo You didn't care. If she wasn't full, she'd just eat compressed biscuits. She didn't have anything else!

She felt a pang of heartache just taking these things out.

Although there were plenty of supplies in the space, Zuo You always had the illusion that there wasn't enough to eat, and she was incredibly stingy.

After all, she still has Lin Ling and the dog to take care of, and oh right, An Yingying will most likely be with them too.

As for the mutated beast meat, the current environment is not safe, so Zuo You did not take it out.

This thing won't spoil if it's kept in the space. We can take it out and eat it when the time is right.

Sure enough, after everyone finished the food that Zuo You distributed, they all said they were still not full.

Sun Feiyu leaned closer with a smug grin and shamelessly said, "Boss, I think I need to eat another watermelon to feel full..."

He Heze: "Boss, I also feel like I'm missing a watermelon, it has to be ice-cold."

Sun Zhibin, shameless as ever, looked at Zuo You with a smile and said, "Little You, it's so hot, eating some watermelon will help you cool down."

Zuo You's cheek twitched. She turned her face away to look at the moonlight outside the window. It wasn't very bright, just like the look in her eyes now—a little dull and lifeless, and she felt a pang of heartache.

Now that these people have gotten to know her well, they've started to act shamelessly!

After a long while, she calmly told a lie.

"I only awakened my spatial abilities a week ago. Where can I find any fruit? I also have a few bottles of soda. Do you want them?"

Everyone: "Yes, yes!"

Just as Zuo You handed out the chilled soda to everyone, a subtle fluctuation suddenly appeared in the air behind her.

Zuo You instantly felt a strong sense of crisis, and her eyes quickly became sharp.

Her hands moved with lightning speed, quickly conjuring several ice blades, which she thrust with astonishing speed and accuracy into the air three meters behind her.

Her movements were swift and powerful, like those of an elegant and strong ice dancer.

At the same time, a muffled "groan" sound came from beside my ear.

The sound pierced Zuo You's nerves like a cold arrow, and then a drop of blood fell to the ground, breaking the brief silence.

However, Zuo You did not stop her actions. She suddenly released her senses and scanned her surroundings warily, preparing to deal with the upcoming attack.

Her gaze was cold and sharp as she looked towards the door, like a hunter in the darkness. She uttered a harsh threat in a chilling tone, "Either get out, or get out, or I'll wear you down."

Zuo You felt a wave of fear. If it weren't for her senses being more acute than those of ordinary awakened beings...

Even without actively releasing mental perception, one can sense the situation within five meters of oneself; tonight, one is about to suffer a setback.
