The plot was transmitted into her mind all at once, and Xiang Wan fainted before she could see her surroundings clearly.

This time, she transmigrated into a book called "Rebirth in the Apocalypse: The Rise of the Empress." The story originally began when the protagonist, Peng Liuliu, unexpectedly obtained a spiritual spring space during the apocalypse. Nourishing her body daily with the spring water, she awakened water and ice-based superpowers. Time flowed ten times faster in this space than outside, making Peng Liuliu the person with the highest superpower level in the apocalypse. From then on, she embarked on a life of killing zombies, collecting handsome men, recruiting subordinates, and building a base. Fifteen years after the apocalypse, she became a powerful ruler, established a vast human base, and was elected Empress by the people.

Years later, another powerful figure, Ma Wen, fell for Peng Liuliu and became the Empress's first husband. Cannon fodder Xue Xiangwan, lacking strength after the apocalypse, was sold to Ma Wen's base. He rescued her by chance, and from then on, her heart belonged to him. After Peng Liuliu and Ma Wen got together, she couldn't bear to see him with other women, so she found an excuse to abandon the original owner of this body in a horde of zombies, leaving her to be torn apart and killed.

The turning point came when, as Xue Xiangwan lay dying, the jade pendant she always wore on her chest emitted a flash of light, transporting her back to before the apocalypse began. Taking advantage of her rebirth, Xue Xiangwan schemed to seize Peng Liuliu's spiritual spring space, always one step ahead of Peng Liuliu, ultimately declaring herself empress, replacing Peng Liuliu, taking Ma Wen as her husband, and enjoying the company of various handsome men. Peng Liuliu, however, suffered the same fate as Xue Xiangwan, being pushed into a horde of zombies.

Here comes the exciting part: Peng Liuliu also gains a fortuitous opportunity and is reborn. She vows to reclaim everything that belongs to her and grind Xue Xiangwan to dust. The book ends with Peng Liuliu capturing the reborn Xue Xiangwan, throwing her into a laboratory, and subjecting her to endless torture.

From beginning to end, it seems to be just these two people being reborn, seeking revenge, being reborn, seeking revenge, and finally Peng Liuliu achieving final victory. Xiang Wan's misfortune was that she entered at the wrong time; she had already been captured by the reborn heroine Peng Liuliu and locked in a cell next to howling zombies.

The iron bars of the cell could keep zombies out, but they couldn't stop hands from reaching in. The black fingernails were still covered in bloody flesh, and the stench of blood was overwhelming, utterly repulsive.

"Xiao Qi, what's going on? The original owner is almost dead, why did you let me in?"

Xiang Wan sat silently in the corner. The body she had taken over was badly injured, likely from the attacks she suffered during her capture. Indeed, she had transmigrated into the body of the unfortunate Xue Xiang Wan, and under extremely dire circumstances.

The system remained unresponsive, which made Xiang Wan anxious: "System, have you lost your mind? A reborn woman who's about to be cannon fodder, you want me to come here and wait to be dissected?"

"Hey, host, don't worry, there's still a glimmer of hope."

Tears streamed down 007's face. Could it tell its host that it was forced to bring her here because it was threatened? Absolutely not! That would ruin its image of being wise and mighty. Besides, even if it told its host, what good would it do? Since it was already here, saving its life was the priority!

"Someone will come by soon. Ask him for help! If he helps you, you'll definitely be able to escape!"

When did the system become so kind? Xiang Wan was full of suspicion. Could it be that it had something to hide? This damn system usually takes forever to get directions. Could it be...?

"This system kindly offered you guidance, and not only are you ungrateful, you even have doubts. If I had known, I wouldn't have said a word! Humph!"

This exasperated tone only fueled Xiang Wan's suspicions. Before she could delve deeper, she saw someone pass by outside the cell—a man in a white lab coat and mask, who looked like one of the researchers. Ask him for help? Ask him to dissect her quickly? Are you crazy?!

"Quickly, host, just trust me this time, I definitely won't harm you."

The system grew anxious and urged Xiang Wan to call for help immediately. Since things couldn't get any worse, she might as well take a gamble.

"Researcher, please help me!"

A hoarse voice rang out, and Xiang Wan's lips split open, bleeding profusely, causing the zombie in the next cell to frantically bang on the bars.

The man glanced at Xiang Wan, then walked on without looking back, showing no intention of paying her any attention.

Just as the man was about to walk past, Xiang Wan lunged at the railing in the passageway, grabbed his shirt, and pulled back with all her might, tearing a strip from the hem of his white coat. The tearing sound rang out, and Xiang Wan froze. The man turned and stood in front of her, reaching out to grab her by the neck, lifting her from the ground and into the air.

"Damn, that's brutal!" Xiang Wan desperately tried to pry his hands off, but they were like cast iron, impossible to pry open. She gave up struggling, quickly tapped his arm, and instantly gained her freedom, collapsing to the cell floor, panting heavily.

"Fine, very well, you dare to tear my clothes!"

The man stared at Xiang Wan with icy eyes, as if she were already dead.

"You two, take her to my lab."

Two soldiers appeared behind him without him noticing. They exchanged a glance, and one of them said nervously, "This, this isn't good. She's someone the Empress specifically ordered to be arrested. If the Empress finds out, it will be difficult to explain!"

“If you can replace her as an experimental subject, then there is naturally no need for her.”

The two soldiers shook their heads repeatedly, their faces showing terror. They immediately opened the cell door and dragged Xiang Wan towards the laboratory.

"Damn system, are you trying to make me perish so I can be reincarnated again?"

"Nonsense, this system never cheats people. Although he looks very fierce, you, host, are no pushovers either. If you can take him down, you'll be a winner in life!"

That's giving her way too much credit. How can someone covered in wounds and completely exhausted possibly handle someone who's clearly not someone to mess with? She's practically asking for death.

Xiang Wan didn't even have the energy to argue with the system; she fainted before even reaching the so-called laboratory. Therefore, she didn't notice the burning sensation in her chest, after which her body spontaneously began to repair itself.

After being dragged to the lab, the two soldiers threw her to the ground and immediately made an excuse to run away. They didn't want to stay in a lab full of zombie heads and severed limbs for even a second longer. Luckily, Xiang Wan had fainted, otherwise she would have been terrified by the grotesque sight.

Once inside the lab, the man didn't glance at Xiang Wan again, focusing intently on handling his surgical instruments, as if studying where to begin.

The tragic Xiang Wan woke up to find herself in a terrible state, wishing she could tear the system to pieces a thousand times!
