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

"Hmm... vegetables, meat, potatoes, greens, pork, lamb, beef, chicken, duck, goose, I don't mind any of those."

Jian Hong's smile froze instantly, and his eyes revealed a hint of pity. Captain Zuo's spatial ability must have only awakened after the polar night, which is why he was so short of supplies; his spatial ability was just for show.

How could such a beautiful woman, with her delicate and youthful appearance, lack vegetables and meat?

After thinking for a moment, he took out a sheep, half a cow, two ribs, two pig hind legs, several chickens, ducks and geese, and some vegetables from his spatial storage.

"Here, this is a gift for you. And about what happened earlier, I really didn't expect your team to stay here too. I apologize, I was too forward."

Zuo You waved her hand and put all of them into her spatial storage. Then, with a straight face, she said seriously, "It's okay. As long as you apologize in time, you can be a little more abrupt."

Lin Ling stared wide-eyed at the scene, wondering what was going on.

Is this guy some kind of naive fool, so easily fooled?

She silently walked to the window, looked up at the starry sky, and remained silent.

His shoulders twitched slightly involuntarily, clearly indicating that he couldn't hold back his laughter.

Tang Haoran's skills were lacking, and his expression of collapse was already evident.

He really wanted to hang Jian Hong up and whip him. He was such a stingy person, and he even pretended not to hear when Professor Li's grandson wanted to eat meat.

What, are you just giving away these foods that are more valuable than gold like this?

And it was given to a shady businessman! What were they thinking?

Tang Haoran took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

With a blank expression, he led Jian Hong back downstairs.

.......

Zuo You didn't go back to the office. Instead, she pulled Lin Ling to the rooftop, took out the RV, and took a refreshing cold shower.

Well, after discussing it, the two decided to sleep in the RV that night and enjoy the air conditioning.

After finishing a plate of cherries and a plate of strawberries, Lin Ling felt a little smug. Look, this is a treatment that even Erdan doesn't get.

After rinsing their mouths, the two lay down on their respective beds, but less than two minutes later, Lin Ling ran to the lower bunk and crawled into Zuo You's bed.

"Sister Xiaoyou, why is Jian Hong so easy to fool?"

Lin Ling carefully hugged Zuo You's arm, pressed herself against her, and asked in a soft voice.

Zuo You felt a tickle in her ear. Lin Ling's warm breath brushed against her ear, and the scent of Lin Ling's shower gel filled her nostrils, making her feel hot all over and her mind go blank.

"Sister Xiaoyou, I'm asking you a question." Lin Ling wrapped her arms around Zuo You's waist, her lips getting closer to Zuo You's ear, her voice shy yet slightly absent-minded.

Zuo You swallowed non-existent saliva, staring blankly at the bed. She wanted to turn her head to look at Lin Ling, but the two were too close. If she turned her head, they would probably kiss, and she didn't dare to.

Zuo You took a deep breath and mentally prepared herself. Best friends should all be this close. Maybe it's just that she's not used to being this close to people, which is why she has these inappropriate thoughts. She shouldn't think she's gay!

She tried hard to recall Lin Ling's question from earlier, and after a long while, she calmed herself down and replied:

"He may not lack supplies, or he may want to buy a large quantity of supernatural weapons or have other ideas, so he is trying to show us goodwill or lower our guard. Jian Hong is not that simple. Don't be fooled by his appearance."

"Okay, I understand. I'll be more careful next time I see him."

Lin Ling gritted her teeth, hesitating whether to get a little closer, but afraid of scaring this chuunibyou-like girl. For a moment, she was caught in a dilemma, holding her waist.

After a moment of silence, Lin Ling shook off the romantic notions that had been swirling in her mind and decided to proceed with her strategy slowly. With that in mind, she asked again, "Sister Xiaoyou, do you still want to go to the Eastern Base?"

Zuo You couldn't discern the emotion in her tone, and said calmly, "The zombies are mutating too fast. It would be safer to go to a large base."

However, there's no rush. I'm too weak right now. I'll definitely stay in N City until I reach Tier 4. If you don't want to go to the Eastern Base...

"Then I'll take the dog over there for a visit, and then go back to N City."

Lin Ling pouted, "Are you planning to leave without me?" She had a feeling that this was just a pretext by Zuo You. Would she come back after leaving?

Zuo You: "I won't sneak away."

Lin Ling felt conflicted about going to J City.

Her blood relatives are all in J City.

But those people are merely blood relatives.

However, if Zuo You wants to go to J City, then she doesn't need to hesitate anymore; she can just go with her.

However, Lin Ling felt that Zuo You was right about one thing: they were still too weak, and a long journey would be too dangerous.

"Sister Xiaoyou, I'll go with you then."

"Huh? Didn't you say you didn't want to go?"

"It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I have some concerns, but if you go, I definitely have to go with you."

Zuo You smiled silently and joked, "Go to sleep. It's rare to have such a quiet place in the RV."

Lin Ling chuckled, her laughter clear and melodious.

Yu Shuqin snores and grinds her teeth when she sleeps, so neither of them got a good night's rest last night.

"Then I'll sleep with you. I'm too sleepy, and I can't climb up to the top bunk, okay?"

Hearing the ridiculous reason, Zuo You compromised and said, "Fine... then."

......

The night passed uneventfully, safely, and with a pleasant and peaceful experience.

Lin Ling got up early in the morning and told An Yingying about the order, asking her to make a few more weapons in the next few days.

Of course, An Yingying and Zuo You didn't intend to keep the crystal cores they earned for themselves. As for the favors, they let Zuo You accept them as a commission.

An Yingying patted her chest and promised that she would complete the task on time.

Lin Ling frowned as she looked at her expression and movements. How did this delicate young girl become so rough?

What went wrong? Unable to figure out the reason, she stopped thinking about it.

Zuo You was still asleep. Sun Feiyu searched around but couldn't find her. He found Lin Ling and said with a grin, "Sister Lin, let's have chicken noodle soup for breakfast. If we don't eat now, we don't know if we'll have a chance to eat it when we get to the base. This meat smells so good. We don't want to be coveted by others when we get to the base."

Lin Ling thought what he said made a lot of sense.

I glanced at my watch. The departure time I agreed with Tang Haoran and the others was 7 o'clock. It's only 5 o'clock now. It's feasible!

Lin Ling ran back to the RV, tiptoed to the bedside, and saw Zuo You sleeping soundly with her lips pouting. She squatted by the bed for a while, swooning over her, and then stretched out her slender fingers to poke her cheek, unable to stop smiling.

Lin Ling is absolutely certain that she's gay!

Otherwise, why would he want to stick to Xiaoyou as soon as he sees her, and now he even wants to bully Zuoyou while she's sleeping?

When did she start having feelings for Xiaoyou? I don't know, but she just really liked her.

When Zuo You opened her eyes, she saw Lin Ling staring at her with a lewd expression. She calmly touched her face and asked, "Does it look good?"

"It's so good-looking."

"Yes, you're pretty too."

The two chuunibyou women complimented each other for a while, and Lin Ling mentioned Sun Feiyu's suggestion to make noodles.

Zuo You brushed her teeth, amused as she listened to Lin Ling's endless stream of reasons, but none of them revealed the core reason.

The main reason is that Lin Ling is craving something sweet!

Zuo You didn't expose the little cutie's little trick, and after washing up, she found Yu Shuqin.

He took out condiments, seasonings, stoves, kitchen utensils, rice, flour, and the mutated rooster from yesterday afternoon from his spatial storage.

"Aunt Yu, make more so that everyone can have a full meal."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely feed everyone."

The mutated chicken is much more fragrant than the mutated eagle meat. The pot is full of chicken, and the tempting aroma is simply irresistible.

The fragrance was so strong it could travel for miles. Even though everyone had closed the office doors and windows, the scent still reached the third floor.

On the third floor of the office building, only two reserve members of the Azure Dragon team were guarding the stairwell; the rest of the team members lived on the second floor.

Why? Because there are only 6 offices on the third floor, and all of Professor Li's relatives are leaving.

The second floor is the village's activity room, and the members of the Qinglong team can only set up tents on the second floor.

Li Gaoyang was lying on a cot in an office when he was awakened by the enticing aroma of meat. He thought he was dreaming.

It smells like meat! He hadn't eaten meat for a month, and the aroma made him even hungrier.

He walked out of the office and headed to the fourth floor.

A staff member on duty at the stairwell reached out and stopped him, calmly saying:

"Our captain ordered that no one is allowed to go up to the fourth floor without his permission."

Li Gaoyang scoffed, "Get out of here. Your captain can only restrain you. I'm not his teammate, so why should he restrain me?"

Seeing that the duty officer refused to move, Li Gaoyang pushed hard, but couldn't budge him!

His expression twisted for a moment, then he said with a dark face, "If you don't move aside, I'll have my grandfather file a complaint against you! Know who you are, bodyguards! Don't you understand?"

The duty officer's face darkened, as if he had been stung.

Although he was only a reserve member of the Azure Dragon Squad, this reserve position was formed by selecting from hundreds of thousands of active-duty soldiers.

It's no exaggeration to say he's a chosen one of heaven.

But now, being humiliated like this isn't the first or second time!

When Li Gaoyang saw the man in front of him, he still wouldn't let him pass.

He raised his voice impatiently, "Don't you understand, bodyguards! Get out of the way!"

A teammate who had been silent until now suddenly became angry. He clenched his fists, his chest heaving violently, and pulled his teammate aside. "Qin Fang, don't worry about them."

"Brother Jiang, this is Captain Tang's order." Qin Fang lowered his voice, his anger rising.

Jiang Ge gritted his teeth and said, "Li Gaoyang is right, we can't control him. Go find Captain Tang now."

Qin Fang glared angrily at Li Gaoyang and quickly ran downstairs.
