"Rebirth After the Apocalypse" - No Rebirth (Part Two)...

Wang Tao looked at the jade bracelet he had just received with great excitement.

He endured so much for so many years, all for this day!

Thinking of the humiliation he had endured under Rosie's control in order to survive, Wang Tao gritted his teeth in hatred.

Rosie has a bad temper; when they're dating, he has to do whatever she wants and she throws tantrums at the slightest disagreement.

Wang Tao certainly has a temper, but these days, finding a partner isn't easy. Luo Xi has no parents but has a job, and a pretty good one at that. If they get married, she'll definitely be able to take care of the family.

She only had that temper when she was young; after she gave birth, who would have the patience to take care of her?

He endured his anger and pretended to be the perfect boyfriend, thinking that he could appease Rosie by getting her married, but unexpectedly, the apocalypse arrived!

In the past, when Wang Tao had nothing to do, he also liked to read apocalyptic novels, shouting that in the apocalypse, he should kill the saintly mother first, become king and tyrant in the chaotic world, slaughter everyone, and have a bunch of wives and concubines.

But when the apocalypse came, he became the lowest of the low in the dog-eat-dog world, while Rosie awakened her powers immediately and gained a foothold.

Wang Tao felt a deep resentment. Why was God so unfair to him, giving him nothing while Luo Xi received everything without having to do anything!

But no matter how much he hated her, in this chaotic world he had no choice but to rely on Rosie, otherwise he might become food for zombies, or even food for starving humans.

He carefully tried to please Rosie until he also awakened his powers and discovered Rosie's secret.

Holding the bracelet he'd snatched from Rosie, Wang Tao was incredibly excited. It was a storage space! The ultimate cheat device in the apocalypse—was his glory finally about to begin?

He excitedly tried to put it on his wrist, but bracelets are not easy to put on or take off, and his hands were thicker than Rosie's, so he couldn't get them on.

Wang Tao tried for a long time but couldn't put it on, nor could he fit his hand into the bracelet's space, so he became a little anxious.

On second thought, perhaps it requires a blood oath to be recognized as a master, and then an automatic match is made. Isn't that how it's written in novels?

On TV, the act of binding someone with blood or performing a ritual with blood seems as simple as eating or drinking. But in reality, the psychological pressure of actually drawing blood from yourself can be immense.

Wang Tao gritted his teeth, made a cut on his thumb, endured the pain, and pressed his blood onto the cut.

Just as he was eagerly anticipating a reaction from the bracelet, nothing happened, leaving him momentarily stunned.

Wang Tao was so anxious he jumped up and down. How could this happen!

Suddenly it occurred to me, could it be that Rosie is not dead yet, and we can only do it after Rosie dies?

Upon hearing this, Wang Tao suddenly realized that his men, whom he had sent to dispose of the body, hadn't returned yet!

Anxious and worried, Wang Tao immediately jumped into the car and returned to the original spot to see what his men were doing.

When they arrived at the ground, they found the younger brother lying on top of Rosie, groping for something.

When he realized what was happening, he was furious. "At a time like this, you're still thinking about doing this kind of thing!"

Wang Tao knew his underling's character well and had no doubts. He jumped out of the car, cursing as he pulled him up: "Are you crazy?! Is this the time to do this kind of thing?!"

The younger brother seemed quite alarmed when he was discovered and quickly got up.

But in the instant he turned his head, a knife was plunged into his throat!

Humans can possess superpowers, but human reactions have limits.

When the short blade pierced his throat, Wang Tao finally saw his "little brother's" true identity and his eyes widened in surprise.

The physique of those with superpowers is indeed formidable; even in this condition, Wang Tao still had the strength to reach out and pat Ye Xiqing.

Without thinking twice, Ye Xiqing twisted the dagger violently, then pulled it out with a sudden burst of force, sending it rolling away.

As a water-based ability user, Wang Tao can freeze his blood into ice, slowing down the bleeding from his wounds.

But the neck has more than one fatal point. A large hole was instantly torn in Wang Tao's neck. He roared desperately and tried to grab Ye Xiqing, but he fell to his knees.

He opened his mouth wide, trying to make a final struggle against Ye Xiqing, but in the end he collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide open and motionless.

Ye Xiqing lay on the ground, looking up at the sky, trying to catch her breath. She didn't have the strength to perform a second surgery, so she left everything to fate.

Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily, let alone a person with superpowers.

Ye Xiqing didn't understand the combat system of this world, but with her limited knowledge, she still had to be careful when dealing with things like superpowers that were beyond the scope of human understanding.

Ye Xiqing waited by the side until she was almost unable to hold on any longer and was about to collapse, then she scrambled over.

Such an important thing should be in his arms, right? Ye Xiqing took the dagger she had taken from Wang Tao's henchman, cut open Wang Tao's shirt, and found the bracelet inside.

The moment Ye Xiqing grabbed the bracelet, her face, like a vampire who had just drunk blood, instantly regained its vitality.

Yes, in the world of novels, where there is space, there is often a spiritual spring.

As if saving a life, Ye Xiqing drank a mouthful of life-saving water, slowly sat up, and let out a long breath.

With strength, one can get things done. Ye Xiqing greeted the system warmly, "The cheat system that other small worlds give to their female protagonists is much better than your useless system."

"Hahaha."

The comments section erupted in laughter.

The system mischievously threw Ye Xiqing into the post-apocalyptic world before the female protagonist's rebirth, intending to subject her to some beatings. However, Ye Xiqing simply stayed there and refused to leave.

He opened the system's shopping page and said, "System, I want to shop."

She refused to believe it; the system shop didn't even have a life-extending item.

If you let her go back to her past life, then she won't be reborn!

The system never expected that, without careful attention, Ye Xiqing would cause trouble again.

The comments section immediately erupted with mockery, a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

The system was seething with hatred, but who was it? It was the system.

Ye Xiqing stared at the grayed-out system shop, utterly speechless. She looked at her own AI idiot and said, "Apocalyptic world, you're not opening a system shop for me? Are you planning to save your winter coat for summer?"

The audience burst into laughter.

The audience also noticed the system's targeting of Ye Xiqing.

They used to at least talk about the basic law, but now they don't even bother to put on a show.

Since you're too weak to suppress such a powerful tasker, you're openly trying to trip them up, right?

The system was aware of the audience's sentiments, but having traversed so many worlds, it had long since developed a thick skin, and said without changing its expression:

"Host, the world line you are in now is not a normal world line. As soon as you die, you will be reborn immediately."

"The original world itself never generated this timeline. You are currently in a sandbox called the Past Life. After you die, you will be immediately merged into the main timeline."

"In the sandbox world, the system shop will not be open. Please die as soon as possible and return to the main timeline. If you are afraid of pain, the system can also help you."

"help me?"

Ye Xiqing smiled after hearing this.

Why didn't you help earlier, and now you're helping instead?

With difficulty, he got up and reached for something on the corpse beside him. Sure enough, he found a sharp dagger at the waist.

Ye Xiqing took the dagger, cut several wide strips of cloth from her clothes, and pressed them tightly against the brachial artery in her upper arm to stop the bleeding.

No wonder I couldn't move my right hand when I tried; upon closer inspection, my hand was gone.

Ye Xiqing lay down again, raising her right arm over her heart, wrapping the severed area tightly, praying that her dear heart would be smart and stop offering it here since her right hand was gone, or else she would die.

In order to sever the connection between the original owner and the bracelet, Wang Tao took advantage of the original owner's unpreparedness and directly severed the original owner's palm.

After severing the female protagonist's hand, he instantly used his superpower to shatter her superpower core.

The superpower system in this world has a crystal core setting. Whether it's a zombie, a mutant, or a superpowered individual, they all use their magic power through the crystal core. If the crystal core shatters, the superpower will also disappear.

Wang Tao knew the original owner very well, and the original owner was also unguarded with his bedmate. With a calculated attack on the unsuspecting, he instantly destroyed all of the original owner's ability to retaliate.

The original owner was filled with hatred, but her broken body was no match for Wang Tao, who had awakened superpowers, and she could only die with resentment.

The system's mischievousness unexpectedly gave this body a brief resurgence of vitality.

The extreme state of limb amputation was already challenging Ye Xiqing's limits as a human being, not to mention the addition of a concept never before seen: the dissipation of superpowers.

If she could, she would want to die immediately, refresh herself back to her previous life, and restore her body without any cost.

But the system's malice always challenges her nerves before the physical pain does, and Ye Xiqing revealed a sinister smile.

"If it hasn't been generated yet, let it be generated. I suddenly don't want to die anymore!"

system:……

A situation I've never encountered before.

Although some reborn worlds may have two sets of storylines, one for the past life and the other for the present life, how could a world truly generate a past life that is destined to be overwritten? It is merely a rehearsal of key points.

This is just a preview point, and it can't be considered the real world at all. Now Ye Xiqing is going to stay at this preview point and refuse to leave!

The system finally panicked. This was a question involving the very origin of the world. It immediately tried to persuade Ye Xiqing: "What's the use of the host making such a fearless insistence? Even if you don't die from blood loss now, the vicious male supporting character is right next to you."

"His underlings haven't returned for a long time, and he'll soon notice something's wrong. Do you really think you can escape the male supporting character's pursuit in your current state?"

"Don't struggle in vain. Staying here won't change anything; it will only increase your suffering!"

While resting, Ye Xiqing listened to the system's chatter. She didn't have the energy to think about most of its nonsense, but there was one sentence that really concerned her.

Is the villainous male supporting character still nearby?

ha.

He's leaving, so she really won't have a chance.

If he were still nearby, wouldn't he be waiting to be killed by her?

...

After swallowing a mouthful of life-saving water, Ye Xiqing's life, which was on the verge of ending, was restored.

The original owner's spatial spring was very miraculous. Although it did not have the function of regenerating severed limbs, Ye Xiqing clearly felt that her vitality had been greatly restored.

If you ask her how she felt it, the most noticeable thing is that the blood seeping from the severed limb started to become fresh, and the nerves that had been numb began to feel pain again.

The powerful function of the spatial spring compensated for the bug that Ye Xiqing had no fresh experience of the pain of her severed hand. Ye Xiqing had to press her brachial artery again to prevent her heart from surging again and destroying her.

One thing after another, there were always unexpected things, making Ye Xiqing want to curse.

But they were also afraid of offending the creator of this world, and that she would take away even their breath.

Forget it, just make do and survive, don't worry too much.

But where are her hands?! Where did her hands go?! Surely she can't have lost even her severed hands!

Fortunately, the battlefield was nearby, and the hand hadn't gone too far, so Ye Xiqing found it quickly.

With modern technology, it's possible to reattach a severed limb within six hours, although it's unknown how well post-apocalyptic medical technology has been preserved.

But there are superpowers in the apocalypse! Superpowers are more advanced than those metal machines, so let's put her back!

When the hand is on my body, it looks very natural, but when it's removed, for some reason, it looks somewhat painful.

Ye Xiqing overcame her psychological pressure, roughly wiped the dust off her severed hand, rested her chin on her severed hand, took out a clean piece of cling film from her spatial storage, wrapped it up, and put it in her pocket.

The original owner's space has a preservation function. No matter what you put in it, it can maintain the state it was in at the moment it was put in. Putting it in the space would be even better, but Ye Xiqing dared not put it in.

Her life was extended by the spiritual spring, which she could explain by her past as a wood-type ability user, whose wood-type abilities are compatible with life and have stronger self-healing capabilities.

If her severed limbs undergo unusual changes, a perceptive person might notice something amiss.

If the hand can't be reattached, it's just a disability; if something unusual is discovered, that would be terrible.

In any case, given the limited medical resources in the apocalypse, there's no guarantee they could be brought back, so it's not worth taking such a risk.

Ye Xiqing left her severed hand outside, while Wang Tao's corpse was stored in the bracelet's space.

In the original storyline, the female lead was thrown into a pile of zombies and devoured, so there are still zombies around, and it's not a place to stay for long.

...

Ye Xiqing only had general background information and no memories of the original owner. In fact, she didn't even know where the original owner's base was.

But it doesn't matter, this group came by car. Rosie lived in a large base in her previous life, so there must be a lot of people there.

Ye Xiqing drove quickly in the direction Wang Tao had come from.

It was only then that she began to appreciate some of the benefits of the apocalypse: there was no traffic congestion on the roads, and no one was checking her for driving without a license.

When she drove up to the base outpost and saw people, she immediately knew what to do.

He put one hand in the other and clenched it tightly, opened the car door, and fainted.
