Chapter 1: Rebirth (This chapter is free)

“Crack!”

Ye Chen felt a sharp pain in his chest. He opened his eyes with great effort and saw that the world in front of him was blood red. In his ears, besides the low roar of the beast with a bit of excitement, there was also the sound of chewing bones, which was creepy.

Are you going to die?

Ye Chen felt a little bitter in his heart. He had struggled in the apocalypse for ten years. He was cautious every day and even slept with a weapon in his arms so that he would be startled by the slightest movement. However, today, due to a small negligence, he failed to erase the scent left behind when he hunted the three-headed dog and was tracked down by the blood-horned beast.

Feeling my body being chewed up bit by bit, maybe this is a good way to die?

When this strange thought emerged in Ye Chen's mind, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. When he knew that he was powerless and had no hope of survival, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

When he was in high school, his parents died in a car accident, leaving him with only a younger sister to depend on. However, when the apocalypse happened, his younger sister eventually died at the fangs of zombies.

He doesn't even know why he is alive?

Maybe just like most people, just living for the sake of living...

Over the past ten years, due to his fear of death and his desire for life, he has been wandering on the edge of life and death, struggling and gasping like a dog. Sometimes he even doubts whether he is still a human being.

Death may be a kind of relief!

Perhaps he had figured it out, Ye Chen felt relieved and relaxed all over.

Sister, here I come.

His consciousness gradually dimmed and he fell into a deep sleep.

"Brother, wake up."

A clear and pleasant voice rang in his ears, and then Ye Chen felt a cold little hand pinching his nose. He woke up from his sleep and jumped up. His body subconsciously retreated backwards, but when he was halfway through the action, he suddenly felt a wall behind him and his back hurt.

What's going on?

His consciousness gradually became clear, and Ye Chen realized that he was no longer under the bloody mouth of the blood-horned beast, but on a soft bed.

He looked up, and that look was eternity!

Beside the bed, under the light, there was a pretty girl with long eyelashes, curved lips and smiling eyes. She was very beautiful. When she smiled, her eyes curved into a pair of crescents and there were two shallow dimples on her delicate cheeks. The air around her seemed to hold its breath, and even time stood still at this moment.

"Brother, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get up. Today is your college graduation day. It won't be good if you are late." The girl blinked her big eyes and said with a pout.

This familiar look, this familiar voice, were like raindrops, dripping into Ye Chen's heart. For a moment, he felt as if he was dreaming, and could hardly believe that his sister, who had been killed by zombies at the beginning of the apocalypse, could now stand in front of him alive!

etc!

Graduated from college?

Ye Chen's heart was shocked. So today is July 1, 2013, the day when the apocalyptic disaster happened. Could it be that he was reborn ten years ago?

Ye Chen looked up at the room. It was dim and not spacious. An old-fashioned lantern was hung on the wall, making a "dong dong" sound like a soul-calling alarm. On the yellowed wall, there were several outdated posters and two old photos. They were of a young couple with benevolent smiles and were very kind. In the distance, there was a desk with many books piled on it.

This is exactly the room I lived in when I was in college.

Ye Chen was stunned for a long time, and finally confirmed that he was not dreaming, but really went back to ten years ago! This bizarre thing did not panic him, but he was at a loss for a while, then quickly calmed down, and after a moment of silence, he got off the bed and said to his sister Ye Zhu seriously: "Sister, take our bank card and withdraw all the deposits!"

Ye Zhu was startled and asked in confusion: "Take them all out? What are you going to do with them?"

Ye Chen touched her head, with a hint of doting in his eyes, and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid."

Ye Zhu looked at him suspiciously and said nothing more. Ever since her parents had a car accident, she had been brought up by Ye Chen. Both her tuition and accommodation fees were earned by Ye Chen while working while studying. She also remembered that when she was in the third year of junior high school, she envied a classmate who had a nice wallet. When Ye Chen found out, he secretly went to a construction site without telling her and worked as a laborer for a week. He was so tired that he bought her an identical one.

Taking into consideration that she is a girl and is more concerned about her reputation, Ye Chen would rather wear and eat worse himself, but he is never stingy with her. Whether it is clothes or jewelry, he always chooses the better-looking ones, just to prevent her from losing face in front of her classmates.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhu's nose felt a little sour. He nodded lightly, turned around and walked to the bed. Under a dusty wooden board under the bed, he took out a rag and slowly opened it. There was a white bank card wrapped inside. No matter which thief broke in, he would never have thought that Ye Chen would keep his wallet so secretly.

"I'll go." Ye Zhu took the bank card, carefully put it in the pocket of his jeans, and then smiled.

Ye Chen nodded, "Be careful on the road."

Ye Zhu smiled playfully, her laughter sounding like a yellow warbler singing out of a valley, and then she turned around and walked out.

After Ye Zhu left, Ye Chen put away the smile on his face, returned to his usual indifference, walked to the old clock, and checked the time. It was 6 o'clock in the morning. If he remembered correctly, the doomsday disaster should occur around 7 o'clock in the evening, so there was still about 12 hours of preparation time!

Ye Chen thought calmly about what to do next. Now that he was reborn, he would never let the tragedy happen again!

In his previous life, it was because he went to attend the graduation ceremony and left his sister alone at home that she was killed by the zombies.

On the desk, under the lamp, there is an old photo frame. In the family photo inside, a young couple stands in the middle, with a boy of fifteen or sixteen and a little girl of eleven or twelve on either side.

"Dad, Mom." Ye Chen looked at the photo, his eyes moistened, and he said silently: "I will definitely take good care of Xiao Zhu, for sure!"

He turned and walked to the bedside and put away the useful luggage. After the end of the world, 70% of the world's population would turn into zombies. This cheap rental house would not be able to stop the zombies' attack. He had to find an absolutely safe place to live first.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After a while, Ye Chen finished packing. The two of them had only one suitcase with their luggage together, and they only brought a few sets of clothes. As for the other things, most of them were useless, such as quilts, textbooks, etc., which were not needed.

Ye Chen walked to the desk, stared at the photo frame for a while, then picked it up and put it into the suitcase. Then he sat on the bed, quietly thinking about what to do next.

This doomsday is of great magnitude. At seven o'clock in the evening, a scientific laboratory in North America will explode. All the viruses inside will be released at a speed comparable to that of light, instantly covering the entire earth without any warning.

Under this virus, people with weak constitutions and those infected with serious diseases were instantly transformed into horrible zombies. These zombies were not as fragile as those in the movies. Instead, they were incredibly powerful, comparable to the strength of three adults. The iron door of a rental house like this could be torn open in an instant!

In addition to zombies, animals all over the world will mutate in an instant and turn into ferocious beasts that are even more terrifying than zombies!

While he was lost in thought, Ye Zhu came back from outside not long after. She bent down and rolled up her jeans. There was an inner pocket sewn inside, which was now bulging with full of banknotes.

"Brother, where are you going?" Ye Zhu saw the suitcase in the middle of the room at a glance.

Ye Chen took the money from her hand without counting it carefully. If he remembered correctly, there should be twelve thousand here, which was enough for him to prepare some food.

"Come with me and don't ask anything. I will tell you then." Ye Chen said seriously.

Ye Zhu was stunned. Looking at Ye Chen's solemn expression, she had a vague ominous feeling in her heart. She did not ask any more questions. She completely trusted Ye Chen from the bottom of her heart.

No matter what he does, he is always his brother!

That's enough!

Ye Chen carried the suitcase and led the way out. It was still morning and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Ye Chen walked straight to the place where he usually took the bus to school and waited quietly.

Ye Zhu just followed him silently. Although his eyes were full of questions, he did not ask.

Not long after, the bus arrived. Ye Chen estimated that it would take about four hours to take the bus from here to the bus station, and then from the bus station to the city center. In other words, he only had eight hours left to prepare.

After getting on the bus, Ye Chen paid the fare for two people, found a seat and sat down, leaning against the window looking outside, and began to ponder.

The city center of Hangzhou is like a steel jungle with towering skyscrapers, busy streets with pedestrians and vehicles, and a bustling atmosphere.

Ye Chen took Ye Zhu to a five-star hotel and asked for a room on the top floor with four bedrooms and a living room. After putting the luggage in, he had lunch first, then left Ye Zhu in the hotel and went to the supermarket alone.

Ye Chen did not buy anything in the meat and vegetable area, but went straight to the snack area, took a look, and immediately found two bags and filled them with candies and chocolates.

Sugar is rich in calories and has a long shelf life, making it the best supplement.

Ye Chen still remembered that in the late apocalypse, one candy could buy a low-level leather armor, which shows how precious candy was.

In addition to candies and chocolates, Ye Chen also bought a lot of eggs, about 500 in total. This amount of money attracted the astonishment of shoppers around him, and the supermarket waiters were also dumbfounded.
