Chapter 61 Lin Xi went out

Two days after the moment of silence, Lin Xi did not leave her house.

Anyway, we have no worries about food and drink at home.

The zombie apocalypse ended, the city resumed normal operations, businesses and factories reopened, and students returned to school.

Lin Xi submitted her resume to several nearby companies online and waited for interview notifications while simultaneously opening her social media accounts and online store accounts.

I haven't logged in for a long time, and both of my accounts are overflowing with messages.

Especially online store accounts.

A month before the zombie outbreak, her online store removed all fashion items and replaced them with various fast food and compressed biscuits.

At one point, I lost all my followers and was even suspected of having my account hacked.

Later, when the zombie outbreak occurred, everyone began to stockpile supplies in advance, and instant food and compressed biscuits suddenly became popular items.

Her online store quickly became popular again, but by then Lin Xi no longer logged into the account, and naturally, she no longer shipped products.

But her online store was not punished or condemned, and her credit score was not even deducted.

At that time, fast food and other supplies were extremely scarce, and major stores were out of stock. Meanwhile, the authorities urged everyone not to panic or inflate prices and to stay home in isolation, which led to the suspension of most logistics operations.

During this period, almost all online stores ceased operations.

Now that the zombie outbreak has passed, some people are still feeling uneasy and have decided to stock up on supplies at home to prepare for any unexpected emergencies.

The number of orders on the links in Lin Xi's online store surged. She spent two days processing the orders, and the online store made a fortune from the order fulfillment commission.

Lin Xi felt much more at ease.

Another online celebrity account that cooks for workers also had a lot of messages. When Lin Xi clicked on it, she found that everyone was urging her to develop her career in Nanhua.

Nanhua was in dire need of reconstruction, and the government summoned laborers from all over the country to help restore the buildings damaged in the riots, and then to restore the population and economy.

For a time, migrant workers from Nanhua gathered there, and it was indeed a gimmick to have them make boxed lunches there.

But Lin Xi has already made plans for herself. She will probably develop in Yunxiang for a while, and then decide whether to go back to Nanhua depending on the situation there.

If we go back to South China, this rural "birdcage" house will be almost impossible to sell. No one will buy such a remote house, and no one needs a house with a "pure prison vibe".

Lin Xi has invested too much in this house and cannot sell it at a low price, so she cannot cash out.

Without the old house in District D that her parents left her, she needs to rent a place, which increases her cost of living.

It was unclear how long it would take for Nanhua to recover after the riots, so Lin Xi decided to wait and see.

We can only listen to the comments and appeals from netizens.

There was something else, though it had nothing to do with Lin Xi, but Lin Xi noticed it—

Yu Shiyun's studio has become incredibly popular.

When the zombie outbreak occurred, many people's homes were attacked by zombies or persecuted by neighbors because of poor home security. As a result, people realized the importance of home security.

Yu Shiyun's design concept, which is specifically designed to ensure the safety of women living alone, is very applicable in a zombie environment, and Lin Xi has benefited greatly from it.

The studio became incredibly popular, receiving dozens of orders as soon as it reopened. Yu Shiyun was overwhelmed and kept posting job openings on WeChat Moments and Weibo.

Gu Yixuan also helped her share it.

Lin Xi watched as these two familiar South Asians returned to their normal lives and felt happy for them.

Although Gu Yixuan, this little drama queen, hadn't suffered much hardship and was still posting about Versailles on social media even when the apocalypse came, these two people were, to Lin Xi, close to her after her parents' death and people who meant her no harm.

There is another person who has disappeared without a trace.

A week has passed since the official announcement that Nanhua had been unsealed and the zombies were gone, and Lu Wei still hasn't replied to WeChat messages.

Almost everyone who was alive posted on social media or replied to messages to let others know they were safe, except for Lu Wei.

Lin Xi couldn't resist sending a message to Yu Shiyun to inquire about the situation.

Yu Shiyun replied to her: I tried sending messages and calling Lu Wei, but he didn't answer.

Even amidst her busy schedule, Yu Shiyun jokingly asked her: "You've only met Lawyer Lu once, why are you so concerned about him?"

Lin Xi thought that this person was probably too special; to her, he had both kindness and enmity, though the enmity outweighed the kindness.

He killed her three times, directly and indirectly, and then helped her win a lawsuit in this life that she could have won anyway.

Lin Xi hadn't figured out how to respond to Yu Shiyun's joke when Yu Shiyun sent her a voice message:

“I told you last time that Attorney Lu’s firm is very close to Hongwen Hospital. When the zombie outbreak occurred, it was not yet 5 o’clock, and he had not yet left work. It is very likely that he was… killed when the zombie outbreak occurred.”

Will they die in the disaster...?

In her previous life, Lin Xi lived until August. Before her house was blown up, she saw Lu Wei's green bubble display saying "typing".

Will Lu Wei, who survived the fall of Zone B, perish in this life?

There were too many suspicious things about him. Lin Xi once had the idea of ​​finding out if he was a reborn person like herself, but the idea was cut off as soon as it came up.

But now that the zombie outbreak is over, if Lu Wei is still alive, she wants to know some information.

Yu Shiyun's new voice interrupted Lin Xi's thoughts:

“I renovated a safe house for Attorney Lu. He would definitely survive if he were home. If you’re really worried, I’ll visit Attorney Lu’s house for you when I have some free time…”

For Yu Shiyun, Linxi was her studio's first project, and the house in Linxi was her pioneering work.

Lin Xi was both a client and a mentor to her, so she treated Lin Xi with both politeness and closeness.

Lin Xi declined Yu Shiyun's offer.

Lu Wei...

Even if there were entanglements for her, they were from past lives; this person was still a stranger who had never entered her life.

-

On June 19, 2025, Lin Xi tidied herself up and prepared to go out.

I have two things to do today.

First, I went to a company 7 kilometers away from home for an interview, and then I found a courier station to send my entire truckload of packages away.

All items in the online store can be shipped directly by contacting the partner merchants.

This batch of supplies were all her stockpiled goods at home, which she had listed on her sweetfish shop, and someone bought them at half price.

Lin Xi packed them into boxes and loaded them onto the truck, then personally shipped the goods.

If the apocalypse ends early, many things are useless to hoard, so it's better to sell them off quickly while they're still fresh to recoup some money.

Lin Xi hung a lot of things on the sweetfish, including food, sun protection clothing, down jackets, windbreakers, baseball bats, and puzzle toys.

We need to ship the goods several times.

The villagers were all surprised to see Lin Xi's car and stopped to discuss it.

After all, Lin Xi hadn't left the house since May 20th, and almost a month had passed. A person who had disappeared for a month suddenly reappeared.

Someone cricketed: "I knew Lin Lao Er's daughter was crazy. Not only did she decorate the house like this, but she also stayed at home for a month without coming out."

Someone chimed in, "That's right, that's right, it's really unbelievable."

Lin Xi rolled her eyes and automatically blocked out those sounds.

As the car drove along the path toward the main road at the village entrance, a huge, gray-blue shadow suddenly drifted over with a sudden stop, crashing into a tree before coming to a halt.

"Bang!!"

A bus overturned and emitted white smoke.

The villagers, some wanting to watch the excitement and others wanting to help, all gathered around.

With the intersection blocked, Lin Xi had no choice but to stop her car and silently watch from the sidelines.

Someone knocked on the bus window from the outside, trying to rescue the people.

Seeing this, others rushed over to help, when suddenly a scream came from the smoke-shrouded crowd, causing a commotion.

Lin Xi caught a glimpse of a person climbing out of the bus window amidst the chaotic figures; the person's eyes were grayish-white and their mouth was full of blood.

Then, these "people" emerged from the carriage like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, breaking through the glass.
