The Zombie Empress Builds Infrastructure in the Apocalypse

After Fan Xin was forced to self-destruct, she was reborn back to before the apocalypse descended. Unexpectedly, even after rebirth, she was still a zombie. Unwilling to repeat her previous life...

Chapter 1 Doomsday

The sun was hanging high in the sky, the light was dazzling, and the earth was scorching with heat, like a huge steamer.

Fan Xin reached out, opened the curtains, and looked at the scenery outside that was distorted by the heat.

The neighborhood was deserted, not a single person was around, and the streets were very empty.

Fan Xin lowered the curtains, returned to the room, and sat down in front of the dressing mirror.

Her every move was very slow, her joints seemed as stiff as if they were rusted, and her movements seemed a little strange.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Fan Xin confirmed that she was truly reborn.

Glancing at the date displayed on her phone screen, she realized she was reborn at a very opportune time, just before the apocalypse.

There are still a few hours until the end of the world.

Fan Xin's appearance was reflected in the mirror.

She has fair skin, delicate features, and a rather androgynous appearance. Her eyes are very beautiful, but where the pupils should be black, they are blood-red, which looks a bit weird.

Although she was reborn and returned to the time before the apocalypse, she is still a zombie.

Fan Xin opened the drawer, which was filled with cosmetics and various decorations, all arranged in an orderly manner.

Her slender white fingers slid across the makeup box and she took out a box of contact lenses from the side.

Her fingers were stiff, making it inconvenient for her to put on the contact lenses. It took her ten minutes to put them on properly. The pair of strange scarlet pupils in the mirror were finally covered with black.

Fan Xin is different from other zombies. She has human memories and human emotions. It is impossible for her to hunt humans like other zombies.

Therefore, the identity of a zombie is currently quite dangerous for her.

After putting on colored contact lenses, she looked much more normal in the mirror, but her skin was still pale and looked sickly.

The phone dinged and a message appeared on the screen.

"Baby, get ready first. I'll be done in a while. I'll pick you up after get off work. I've booked a table at your favorite Western restaurant."

Fan Xin took a look, took the phone, clumsily pulled out the SIM card and threw it into the trash can.

She changed into a new black men's tracksuit and put the wardrobe in front of her into space.

Dressing table, bed, bedside table, water dispenser, TV...

Fan Xin did not let go of any of the things in the house and put them all into the space. After a while, the house became empty and there was nothing left.

She carried her backpack, changed into a pair of sneakers at the entrance, opened the door and walked out.

The weather was too hot and there was no one outside. After Fan Xin left the community, he walked for a long way without meeting anyone.

When she arrived at a barber shop, the owner and employees were all dozing off in the shop.

Fan Xin pushed the door open and walked in, then raised his hand and knocked on the bar.

The boss who was sleeping on the bar startled, looked up and saw Fan Xin, then yawned and kicked a boy next to him: "Wake up, a customer is coming."

Fan Xin turned and walked into the shampooing area, sat on the shampooing bed and waited.

The boy who was kicked walked in yawning, put a towel under Fan Xin and asked her to lie down and wash her hair: "Beautiful girl, it's so hot outside, why are you out at this time? Aren't you afraid of getting sunburned?"

Fan Xin said nothing, holding the phone and typing word by word.

Seeing that Fan Xin didn't say anything, the boy shut up and quickly washed Fan Xin.

"Beauty, do you want to blow-dry your hair or cut it?" the boy asked as he helped Fan Xin up.

Fan Xin turned her hand and the phone screen moved in front of the boy, and a line of words appeared on the screen.

"Short cut, men's buzz cut."

The boy stared at the phone screen for a while, still a little confused. He blinked and scratched his head: "Really short? Men's hair? Or a buzz cut?"

Fan Xin nodded.

Seeing that she still didn't speak, the boy had some guesses in his mind. Suddenly, he looked at Fan Xin with some pity. He took her out and sat her on a chair, and called a hairdresser to cut her hair.

Maybe the boy said something, the hairdresser didn't ask any questions when he came to cut my hair.

After a while, the buzz cut was done, and Fan Xin in the mirror looked like a handsome boy, not feminine at all.

The hairstylist couldn't help but doubt her gender and glanced at Fan Xin's chest.

Flat.

Fan Xin paid the money, left the barber shop and went to the vegetable market.

There are many grocery stores in the vegetable market. Fan Xin came here mainly to buy a few machetes. Now the country has strict control over knives, and the only longer knives are machetes.

After buying the machete, Fan Xin went to the fresh food market and rented a warehouse nearby. He bought live fish, shrimps and seafood and kept them in the warehouse. He also bought live chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle, sheep and other poultry and livestock.

Fan Xin also bought a lot of seeds of various crops, and then purchased some processed chickens, ducks, fish, a few pigs, cows and sheep at the vegetable market. He had all the pigs, cows and sheep cleaned and the meat and bones were cut off.

After that, I went to the supermarket and bought a large number of things, which were all sent to the warehouse.

Qin Yu, who had just finished work, heard the notification ringing of his mobile phone one after another. He picked up the phone and saw that it was a series of consumption reminders.

In a short period of time, more than 200,000 yuan was spent.

Qin Yu's eyebrows twitched. This card was with Fan Xin. What had she done? How could she have spent over 200,000 yuan in such a short time?

He quickly dialed Fan Xin's cell phone number.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off..."

Qin Yu dialed the number several times, but the message was always that the phone was turned off.

At this moment, Qin Yu received a message on his mobile phone.

"Go to warehouse No. XX at the vegetable market before 8 o'clock. The key is right below the roller shutter door. You can reach it with your hand. When you get there, wait inside and don't wander around. - Fan Xin."

Qin Yu frowned and dialed the number that sent the text message.

"Hello? Hello, who is this?" A strange woman's voice came from the phone.

Qin Yu pinched her furrowed brows and said, "Excuse me, but is the person who just sent me a message on your phone still with you? I'm looking for her."

The woman suddenly realized: "Oh, you mean that boy? He left. He lent me his phone to send a message and then left."

Young man? After Qin Yu hung up the phone, he stared at his phone, his brows furrowing ever tighter.

It was already half past seven and his work was finished. He took another look at the text message from the unfamiliar number, turned off the computer, stood up and strode out of the company.

Ten minutes later, Qin Yu drove to the vegetable market.

The vegetable market was still noisy, and Qin Yu parked the car in front of the warehouse mentioned in the text message.

He got out of the car, squatted in front of the rolling door, reached into the gap just below the door, and soon found a key.

Qin Yu unlocked the door and pulled up the shutter. The huge warehouse was quiet and there was no one inside.

Qin Yu walked in and looked around. At the innermost part of the warehouse, there was a pile of things, including pots and pans, a gas stove, several large barrels of mineral water, and... about ten pounds of pork, a chicken, a duck, and some fresh vegetables and fruits.

There was a bed next to it, with thick bedding and a quilt covered with cotton...

This bed looks familiar.

Qin Yu walked closer and took a closer look. It would be strange if he didn't find the bed familiar. This was clearly the bed at home!

What on earth is Fan Xin doing?

Qin Yu picked up his phone and looked at it. It was already eight o'clock. He called Fan Xin again, but the phone was still turned off.

However, his phone received another new message, also from an unfamiliar number.

"When we get to the warehouse, pull down the door and lock it first. - Fan Xin."

After receiving the news, Qin Yu called immediately, but the call didn't go through this time. There was a beep on the other end of the line, and then no further response.

Qin Yu took a look at his phone and was shocked to find that the screen showed no signal.

He walked out of the warehouse and looked outside with his cell phone, but there was still no signal.

After eight o'clock, the temperature began to drop.

White fog began to spread all around. Qin Yu turned around and saw that the vegetable market, which was originally clearly visible, was covered with a thin layer of fog and became a little blurry.

"Why is it foggy?" Qin Yu heard an old lady buying vegetables in the market say curiously.

"Why do I feel a little cold all of a sudden? Has the temperature dropped?"

"It's almost dark, so it's normal for the temperature to drop. It's been too hot, it's time to cool down."

"Hiss, that's not right, why is it so cold?"

Qin Yu also felt the change in temperature, and the white mist was still spreading and becoming thicker.

The line of sight was blocked by the white fog, and the visible distance became shorter and shorter.

In just a moment, the vegetable market was completely covered by the white fog.

Qin Yu's heart was filled with alarm and he quickly retreated back to the warehouse. He thought of the message Fan Xin sent him, and finally did as Fan Xin said, pulled down the rolling door and locked it with the key.

The weather was getting colder and colder. Qin Yu, who was dressed in formal attire, was shivering with cold. The temperature almost dropped below zero. He walked quickly into the warehouse, lifted the thick quilt and wrapped himself in it.

The quilt was lifted, revealing a down jacket underneath, and a letter on top of the down jacket.

Qin Yu reached out, picked up the letter and opened it.

"Qin Yu, we're breaking up. - Fan Xin."

The white fog blocked human vision. People standing on the street and looking up could not see anything more than half a meter away.

From time to time, there were sounds of cars braking suddenly, people being hit by cars, and all kinds of screams, one after another, which made people feel cold to the core.

Someone held a cell phone and wanted to call the police, but there was no signal at all.

Fan Xin was in the largest chain supermarket in Pingchang County at this time. When the white fog filled the air, she had already found the location of the supermarket's warehouse.

The supermarket was also covered in white fog at this time, and no one could see each other clearly. Some people walked around in panic, bumping into the shelves, and the goods fell all over the floor.

Fan Xin reached out and crushed the lock of the supermarket warehouse.

The big lock was directly crushed and cracked by Fan Xin. It seems that although she is a first-level zombie, the mutation caused by her rebirth still makes her different from ordinary zombies.

"ah--"

A shrill scream came to Fan Xin's ears.
