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

"Captain Zuo, what are you doing? Can't you talk things out instead of picking up weapons? Isn't this hurting our feelings?"

Jian Hong quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "The masses don't understand the truth. We are people who present facts and reason things out. How could we possibly take action? First, take the ice off his feet. If there's any misunderstanding, let's clear it up."

Zuo You's eyes were icy cold, and her words were still sarcastic, "I just want to see how you'll handle this."

Su Ning, his face cold and grim, stepped forward and demanded, "Are you provoking us?"

Zuo You scoffed, "Provocation? No, I have no interest in provoking you. I'm just curious how the strongest ace of the Eastern Military Region became this fat guy's henchman?"

“If I don’t give this fat guy meat, he’ll call you guys to beat me to death.”

"You guys are pretty successful."

"sharp."

After Zuo You finished speaking, she didn't forget to give a sarcastic thumbs up; she was just unhappy!

I'm inexplicably annoyed, inexplicably annoyed, annoyed that Lin Ling's Azure Dragon team has been ruined by these people!

The members of the Azure Dragon team all looked grim, including Li Derun's relatives.

Calling them thugs wouldn't be wrong; these soldiers were there to protect them.

However, these words sounded particularly unpleasant coming from Zuo You's mouth.

Tang Haoran glanced at Li Gaoyang, who was lying on the ground crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, and felt a bit of a headache.

To be honest, if it weren't for Li Gaoyang's special status, he wouldn't have wanted to give him a second glance.

His mission was to safely escort Li Derun and his family to the Eastern Military Region.

This Li Gaoyang is a giant baby; he's useless at everything except yelling while eating.

Tang Haoran wanted to slap him to death.

However, a mission is a mission. Li Gaoyang is Li Derun's only grandson and one of the targets of Tang Haoran's rescue mission.

Tang Haoran cannot let Li Derun down; the country needs him.

Perhaps he has the ability to end the chaos, then his importance is self-evident.

It's unacceptable for the country to need him on one hand, but neglect his grandson on the other. No one could accept that.

Li Gaoyang cried and sobbed, "Grandpa, save me! I won't eat meat anymore!"

Seeing that everyone's faces looked like a palette of colors, Li Derun walked out from behind Tang Haoran with steady steps, his voice old but full of energy.

“Young lady, I am Li Derun, and the fat man on the ground is my grandson, Li Gaoyang. Please remove the ice from my grandson’s feet first, otherwise they will freeze and he will be frostbitten. If you have any requests, you can tell me.”

Li Derun was actually quite helpless about this grandson.

His son died young, and his daughter-in-law remarried.

At that time, Li Gaoyang was only 7 years old.

Li Derun is always very busy with work, and his wife takes care of the children.

When he retired and returned home, he discovered that his grandson had gone astray, and before he had a chance to properly teach him, the end of the world had arrived.

He only has one grandson. If he doesn't protect him, who will?

Zuo You, never one to mince words, looked at Li Derun and said sarcastically, "My demands? My demands are to live. Your grandson said he'd kill me. Don't you think I should nip the threat in the bud?"

"You, a world-renowned godfather of biology, don't you understand that indulging a child is tantamount to killing him? Do you think we live in a peaceful era?"

Zuo You pointed at Tang Haoran and Jian Hong, then looked at Li Derun and continued, "Tell me, without their protection, how many days could your mentally challenged grandson have survived in the base?"

"To put it simply, everyone here, except you and your family, has the ability to kill your grandson, oh, except for our four-year-old."

“He provoked me today, so it’s perfectly reasonable for me to break both his legs. There’s no law binding me now.”

"Professor Li, do you think it's unreasonable for an ordinary citizen like me to want to seek justice for myself? You've dedicated your life to the country, and now that you're old, I'm afraid your reputation will be ruined by your stupid grandson."

Zuo You's words became increasingly impolite.

This time, everyone realized that Zuo You was standing up for the Azure Dragon team!

Li Derun's face immediately turned extremely ugly. He really hadn't thought that much about it. On the third day of the apocalypse, the country's rescue team found them.

Except for yesterday, when he and his family walked a part of the way while evacuating from the highway, they have not suffered or gone hungry in this apocalypse.

Li Derun discovered that his understanding of the end times was not deep enough!

He took many things for granted!

"Enough!" Tang Haoran said coldly with a stern face, "Captain Zuo, there's no need to confuse the issue. Li Gaoyang has no ability to kill you, and we are not his henchmen. Li Gaoyang is someone I protect. What happened between you is just a verbal dispute. There's no need to escalate it. You can make your demands, and we will try our best to meet them."

Zuo You just looked at Tang Haoran and sneered.

The argument started because she struck first; Li Gaoyang was powerless to fight, so all he could do was talk.

If it were anyone else, Zuo You would have solved the problem with a single ice blade.

But he has powerful connections, and those connections are actually quite influential.

This is not a good thing; it is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

Even if Zuo You acts recklessly, she will still weigh the pros and cons.

If she were to kill this fat man now, not to mention how many of her own people would die or be injured in the current battle.

They probably have nowhere to go in either the N City base or the eastern base.

Unless she kills everyone on Tang Haoran's side, which is unrealistic.

Even if she is an egoist, she cannot extinguish the hope of humanity. Moreover, apart from Li Gaoyang, no one else would warrant her going on a killing spree.

Zuo You had been spewing words like a machine gun, shooting at anyone she could get her hands on, and now that she'd vented, she felt much better.

Li Gaoyang cannot be killed now, since someone is willing to pay the price for his actions...

Zuo You smiled slyly, "Captain Tang, since you've put it that way, I'm not an unreasonable person. Let's go next door and discuss it."

Tang Haoran followed Zuo You to the next office. Zuo You went straight to the point, "Captain Tang, for the sake of your military, compensate me with 1 ton of gasoline, and I can let this matter go."

Tang Haoran was shocked by what he heard, and then laughed in anger.

"Captain Zuo, aren't you being a bit too greedy? It was just a little argument, and you want a ton of gasoline?"

"A verbal argument? You think letting him go would be risk-free for me and my team? Can you guarantee he won't be able to threaten me in the future?"

Tang Haoran remained silent upon hearing this, just as Zuo You had said before, she wanted to nip the threat in the bud.

In this chaotic apocalypse, this idea isn't wrong, it's just a bit vicious.

After thinking for a moment, he hesitated and said, "Li Gaoyang's foot..."

"Two tons of gasoline, and I'll heal his foot."

Zuo You waved her hand to interrupt him. Since they had already decided to let Li Gaoyang go, there was no point in crippling that fat man's legs.
