Chapter 1 Transcending the Apocalypse

At noon, the sun hung high in the sky, its scorching rays baking the earth. The once bustling street had become a desolate wasteland, exuding a suffocating stench of decay.

City H.

The Longting residential complex, which sold for 50,000 yuan per square meter before the apocalypse, was completely ruined within a few months after the apocalypse. There was no sign of human habitation, and only some stupid zombies wandered around, trying to find food.

Suddenly, two black SUVs drove into the residential area, attracting the attention of the zombies.

In the lead car, there was a man in the driver's seat and a man in the passenger seat.

The man in the driver's seat had clean, short hair. After slamming the zombie into the ground, he glanced at the man in the passenger seat and said, "Brother Pei, there aren't many zombies in this neighborhood. I think your half-sister has probably run away."

"Um."

The man responded softly. His profile was handsome, and he exuded a calm and composed demeanor. He rested his elbow on the edge of the car window, his sleeves rolled up to reveal his strong and powerful forearms.

Pei Yi looked out the car window, then pointed diagonally ahead and said, "Chen Le, the building on the right."

"Okay."

Chen Le responded, and the car quickly drove to the entrance of the apartment building Pei Yi had mentioned and stopped. The cars following behind also stopped.

Meanwhile, on the eighth floor of this building.

This is a three-bedroom, two-living-room house. With its expensive furniture and excellent decoration, it's easy to see that it was once a very beautiful house.

Now, however, it is covered with all kinds of garbage and reeks of stench.

After receiving the original owner's memories, Ling Ran opened her eyes.

The original owner shared the same name as her and was a food review streamer before the apocalypse. When the apocalypse first started and there was still internet, the government told everyone to stock up on supplies, stay home, and wait for government assistance.

Three months passed, the number of zombies increased, social order collapsed, and the outside world became a living hell.

The original owner didn't dare to go out at all. Fortunately, she was a food streamer, and her house didn't have much else, but it had the most food. However, even with so much food, it could only last for three months.

Just a few hours ago, the original owner of the body starved to death, and Ling Ran, who felt she had been tricked, happened to enter her body.

As she gradually adapted to the original owner's body, a feeling of powerlessness from hunger and pain instantly swept over her entire body.

Ling Ran cursed under her breath, then parted her thin lips slightly: "God said I need a bowl of white rice."

The next second, nothing happened, and an awkward atmosphere seemed to permeate the air.

Ling Ran clutched her stomach, annoyed, and said, "I forgot this body has no spiritual power."

Just as she was thinking about how to solve her current predicament, she heard the sound of a door being broken down outside. Ling Ran propped herself up and got up. Her door was still closed, but the original owner had blocked it with a table and a cabinet.

With the sound of the door being broken down, hurried footsteps echoed outside.

Ling Ran searched through her memories and roughly understood what had happened.

The original owner lived in a building with one apartment per floor, where each resident could enter their own floor using a card or fingerprint.

The noise outside must mean someone forced open the building door that Ling Ran had locked through the fire escape.

Sure enough, there were indistinct voices and knocking sounds coming from outside.

The cabinet and table completely blocked the door, so Ling Ran couldn't see who it was through the peephole. However, the knocking outside confirmed to Ling Ran that it was a person, not a zombie.

Ling Ran, holding onto the cabinet, shouted loudly, "There's someone inside!"

He said he shouted with all his might, but he wasn't actually that loud.

Fortunately, the people outside heard it, and Ling Ran even heard a particularly clear voice: "Holy crap, Brother Pei, your sister is still alive?!"
