Xu Bai woke up.
What caught my eye was a dirty, blood-stained dormitory.
I could faintly hear the sound of binding being done.
Her limbs ached, her body felt hot, and her head felt dizzy and heavy. She caught a glimpse of a zombie passing by the door.
She thought that she would become one of them.
No, wasn’t she pushed down by Bai Louyue into the zombie crowd a long time ago? How could she be here?
Xu Bai tried to struggle to get up, but eventually fainted.
…
Xu Bai woke up again.
She didn't know how long she had been unconscious, but looking at the familiar dormitory, Xu Bai frowned. In the mirror of the dormitory, she saw herself at this moment, with a young face and a little baby fat. This was what she looked like when she was about 18 years old!
She searched the dormitory and found a cell phone that had run out of battery and was turned off. However, from some books she found, she learned that she was reborn, and was reborn ten years ago, when she was a freshman in college and the end of the world had just arrived.
The memories of ten years ago were too distant, and Xu Bai couldn't remember why she was the only one in the dormitory and the other three were not there.
The food she found in the dormitory gave off a foul stench.
Xu Bai suppressed his nausea and took a bite, but in the end he couldn't swallow it and vomited.
The already hungry stomach could only vomit out a few mouthfuls of sour water.
Xu Bai touched his belly and subconsciously reached for his heart...
One second.
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
Her heart...stopped beating?
So she is dead now?
Or is this all just a dream?
Xu Bai was full of confusion and looked towards the door with his eyes slightly narrowed. Zombies with hideous faces and missing limbs walked slowly past the door, but none of them went into the dormitory.
This is what zombies looked like in the early days of the apocalypse.
Xu Bai clenched his fists and searched every corner of the dormitory to see if there was anything he could use to defend himself.
She deliberately knocked on the bed, but after waiting for a long time, no one came in to attack her or bite her.
This moment.
Xu Bai understood!
She vaguely remembered that before she was reborn, every part of her body was painful, as if it had been bitten by someone.
She thought that she was reborn in this life, bitten by a zombie, and became a zombie.
Although she didn't know where the zombie that bit her had gone, Xu Bai suddenly felt relieved when she saw herself in the mirror with an intact body. In the late apocalypse, the zombies that originally had slow limbs and ugly skin evolved into high-level zombies with special powers and flexible limbs.
Perhaps the zombie that bit her was a powerful one, which caused her to become a mutated zombie.
Zombies are good. In the end times, the most terrifying thing is not zombies, but human nature.
Xu Bai closed her eyes and thought of her ex-boyfriend, Bai Louyue.
Bai Louyue is her boyfriend whom she met and started dating in the fifth year of the apocalypse. He is gentle and considerate, and fights side by side with her. During the five years, the base they created has grown bigger and bigger, but their feelings remain the same. Their relationship has become widely known in the apocalypse - the love between the two Bais.
Xu Bai once thought that Bai Louyue would be a ray of light in her ten-year-long apocalyptic life.
Until he pushed her into the zombie horde in order to escape.
Xu Bai was furious. She didn't understand why a person could change so quickly. They were discussing the wedding the day before, and the next day, he had her...
[Ding... The host is detected to be too excited. Please keep a cheerful mood.]
Who is it?!
[This system is the greatest rescue system of this century. The host is still alive as a human being, thanks to the greatest rescue system of this century overdrawing its energy to keep the host alive. Now that its energy is depleted, the host is heavily in debt. Please find a suitable location as soon as possible and plant the first field. The time limit is three days. If the task is not completed within three days, the host will run out of energy and die completely.]
Like a human?
That's right, she is a zombie. As a zombie, she has her own consciousness, gets hungry, and has flexible limbs. Isn't that living like a human?
[The host is not yet a zombie.] The system sensed Xu Bai's thoughts and spoke.
A mechanical voice without a trace of emotion reached Xu Bai's ears, and Xu Bai was shocked.
After the end of the world, zombies and humans are incompatible. If she wants to survive, she must go to the opposite camp of humans, but Xu Bai doesn't want to do that.
But as a zombie, she is destined not to stand in the human camp. She wants to conquer a group of zombies as her subordinates and form a zombie army to protect herself.
She had already made plans, but now she is told that she is not actually a zombie.
Then why couldn't she feel her own heartbeat?
[This great being is a higher plane creature, accidentally falling into a lower plane. I detected the host's strong desire to survive, so I bound myself to you and consumed a large amount of energy to activate the art of rebirth. Heaven has always emphasized fairness. Human life is precious and only comes once. The art of rebirth is rare, so it naturally comes at a price. Your price is your heart.]
In just a few words, Xu Bai understood what the system meant.
The system consumed its energy in exchange for her rebirth, but in return, she had to pay a certain price.
Although this price made Xu Bai shudder, she still gained something by being reborn!
"What's the reward after completing the mission?"
Xu Bai did not continue to listen to the system's endless chatter about how great it was and how owning it was equivalent to owning the entire bright future. Instead, he asked another question.
"After completing all the tasks, collecting a certain amount of energy can help the host repair his heart."
The cold mechanical sound made Xu Bai feel confused.
But at the same time, there was a sharp pain in the chest.
"Host, please remain calm. A host without a heartbeat must avoid emotional fluctuations."
Xu Bai closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.
She saw a faint red light flickering in a corner of her mind.
Xu Bai couldn't help but feel a little excited when he thought that she could be like a normal person later.
But every time the brightness of that layer of light deepened, the pain in my chest became more and more severe.
Only then did Xu Bai calm down.
The energy she consumes per day is 100, and the energy value attached to each field is 1, which means that she has to diligently plant 100 fields every day to barely survive.
If there are large emotional fluctuations, energy will be deducted.
After selling the food grown, the money earned can be exchanged for energy points.
Xu Bai glanced at the energy value that appeared in front of her eyes. It was as long as a palm, and the red line was the size of a thumb. There were three big red exclamation marks on the corners, shaking, clearly warning her that her life was in danger and her energy value was about to be exhausted.
Inner peace brings safety!
After Xu Bai understood this truth, he took out his schoolbag from the closet, packed one or two pieces of clothes, picked up a wooden stick for self-defense, and walked out of the dormitory.
