Chapter 1 She Doesn't Want to Be Reborn
The fifth year of the apocalypse.
In the extreme cold, snowflakes slowly fall.
As I looked around, the whole world was white, with no green anywhere.
Gu Luan was frozen stiff and wore a tattered cotton coat.
Her body was covered with wounds, the blood had already coagulated, and in her right hand she held a Tang sword full of gaps.
She stuck the Tang sword into the ice and Gu Luan half-knelt on the ice.
The thin figure seemed like it would be blown away by the wind and buried in the snow in the next moment.
She raised her head and looked at the desolate world with numb and sad eyes.
"It's been five years... and I still can't make it through..."
The hoarse voice dissipated in the wind.
His hands, covered with frostbite, slowly loosened their grip on the Tang sword, and Gu Luan could no longer hold on and fell backwards.
There was an icy lake beneath him, the surface of the ice slowly turning red with blood.
Gu Luan took one last look at this end of the world, and snowflakes fell on her face.
She smiled sadly and slowly closed her eyes unwillingly.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
The alarm clock woke up the person in bed, and a pair of clear and crystal eyes opened instantly.
Gu Luan quickly got up from the bed, his numb and empty eyes filled with vigilance.
Soon his vigilance faded, and Gu Luan's pupils shrank slightly, "Is this... my room?"
A clean and tidy room with fresh wallpaper and off-white bed.
A dressing table filled with cosmetics and light green curtains fluttering in the wind.
I haven't seen such a clean place for a long time!
There was no smoke of apocalypse, as if she had just had a nightmare.
But only she knew that it was not a dream, but a despairing purge!
There are man-eating demons; there are humans struggling to survive.
There are plants that look insignificant but can kill people; there are countless disasters that make people despair...
Not daring to think about it any more, Gu Luan looked around, still not quite believing it.
Until her eyes were fixed on the fitting mirror in the room.
She was wearing clean pajamas in the mirror. She looked young and beautiful, especially her watery and crystal clear eyes.
"I am alive?"
Gu Luan hurriedly ran to the bed to find her cell phone. As she had forgotten the password, she could only use facial recognition to open the phone.
March 25, 2025.
She actually went back to the past? Two months before the end of the world!
"Why? Why do you want me to come back to life?"
Gu Luan sat weakly on the edge of the bed.
Her head began to ache and she grabbed her hair with both hands in pain.
There is no joy after rebirth, only pain and despair.
She didn't want to experience the end of the world again, she really didn't want to!
The pain in her head was getting more and more severe, causing Gu Luan to shed tears unconsciously.
It’s okay to be reborn, but even the headache comes back?
In her previous life, she never had headaches.
Until the fourth year of the apocalypse, when the sky fire came, she accidentally hit a small meteorite and fell into a coma while avoiding the sky fire.
When she woke up again, she found that her forehead was broken and bleeding a lot.
At that time, she was grateful that she was able to survive, but ever since the sky fire, she started suffering from headaches.
Her head ached from time to time, and she always felt like something was expanding in her head, causing her great pain every time.
Gu Luan gently hit her head. In the end times when medicine was scarce, she could only relieve herself from the pain in this way.
In a trance, she seemed to see a foggy space, empty and vast.
The space was very large, so large that it seemed boundless, and there was nothing inside except a well.
The well was filled with clear and transparent water, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance emanating from the water.
The hand that was hitting his head stopped, and Gu Luan opened his eyes, his eyes full of shock.
"What's this?"
She felt it carefully and saw the space again.
"In my head?!"
Gu Luan cried out in surprise and touched his forehead.
She was sure that the space was in her head, and hidden so deep that only she could feel it.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Gu Luan smiled desolately, his eyes became sharp in an instant as he looked at the blue sky outside the window.
"Since you let me come back, I will live well for you to see if you can still take my life."
Gu Luan, who originally had no intention of living, became unwilling after knowing that he had space.
She was unwilling to be defeated by God and unwilling to be at the mercy of the end of the world.
She wants to live and live better than anyone else.
She has lived this life over again, and there are still two months until the end of the world, so she still has time to prepare.
“How should this space be used?”
Gu Luan carefully felt the space in his head, glanced at the mobile phone in his hand, and imagined putting it in.
The cell phone disappeared out of thin air, and the next moment it appeared on a piece of ground in space.
Gu Luan was delighted and thought silently about taking out the phone, which appeared in her palm.
"very good!"
Her eyes fell on the alarm clock one meter away from her, and Gu Luan wanted to try if she could pick up objects through telekinesis.
The alarm clock really appeared in the space just as she thought.
Great, it actually works!!
Gu Luan began to try things two meters away and found that it also worked.
It wasn't until she was five meters away that her head started to hurt again.
"It can only reach five meters, but that's enough. I wonder if it can be increased in the future?"
Murmuring softly, Gu Luan laughed happily.
During the experiment, she also discovered that space can preserve freshness.
This means that everything she puts in will not deteriorate, and whatever she puts in will be the same as what she takes out.
My God, you finally did something!
While complaining, Gu Luan's stomach rumbled and she realized that she was hungry.
When she looked at the time again, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning. She had been studying space alone for more than four hours.
I stood up and walked to the kitchen, and the double-door refrigerator was full of food and drinks.
In her previous life, her parents passed away and she had a withdrawn personality.
I have never been in a relationship, I don’t have any good friends, and my job is writing novels online.
Because of this, she was not so ignorant and surprised about rebirth and space.
Plus I take on some translation work from time to time, so my income is pretty good.
I can support myself, save some money, and travel abroad alone twice a year.
Gu Luan was so hungry that she simply cooked two packets of instant noodles and added two eggs.
The air was filled with the aroma of instant noodles, and Gu Luan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
During the five years of the apocalypse, food could be found except in the first year.
From the second to the fifth year she ate moldy rice.
They have gnawed on tree roots, drunk dirty water, and fought with others for rat meat, even to the point of bloodshed.
In order to survive, she killed people, many people.
When her father was alive, he opened a martial arts school, and she became quite skilled in martial arts under his strict teaching since she was a child.
It was because of this that she was able to survive for five years in that cannibalistic apocalypse.
Unfortunately, in the fourth year of the apocalypse, mutated plants and animals appeared.
Mutations in animals and plants do not cause mutations in humans.
The already difficult survival situation has plunged everyone into even deeper trouble in just one year.
Although she finally escaped from the siege of mutant animals, she collapsed due to her serious injuries.
The gurgling sound in the pot brought Gu Luan back to her senses, and she quickly turned off the fire.
Sitting at the dining table with the bowl in hand, Gu Luan smelled the aroma of the instant noodles and started eating them in big mouthfuls without caring about anything else.
It was just two packets of instant noodles, but she acted as if she were eating delicacies from land and sea, not wanting to waste even a mouthful of soup.
Only after experiencing the end of the world will you know how to cherish!
