He also promised Su Xiaoli, "After we sell the goods, I'll take you and your daughter to the city for a few days. We'll stay in a five-star hotel, buy new clothes, and have a big meal."
Su Xiaoli is twelve years old this year, still a teenager. She happily counts down the days, waiting for the truck to arrive.
But the trucks didn't come; the apocalypse came first.
Suddenly, television was filled with reports of mutations.
"Dear viewers, if anyone around you has a fever, sore throat, bloodshot eyes, or stiff limbs..."
Everyone should take precautions; this could be a sign of mutation.
The person on TV had stiff limbs, increased strength, sharpened nails and teeth, was bloodthirsty, and ate people; he was simply a terrifying monster.
The Su family of three stayed in the house all day and dared not go out.
Fortunately, their house was newly built last year, and to prevent thieves, Su's father specially raised the courtyard wall, which has now increased the safety factor.
The night before last, both Mr. and Mrs. Su developed fevers, bluish complexions, and stiff limbs, which worried them greatly.
Fearing that they would harm their daughter after their mutation, they tied themselves to the bed in the room with ropes, making a tight knot.
To prevent escape, they even made several nooses with rope, and put two around each person's neck.
The next morning, the two of them indeed mutated, losing their human consciousness and turning into bloodthirsty monsters.
When Su Xiaoli woke up, she saw that her parents had turned into monsters. She was so scared that she cried incessantly and didn't know what to do.
But she remembered her parents' instructions and stayed at home, surviving on well water in the backyard and food in the warehouse, while waiting for rescue.
She locked her parents' room and went on living alone.
Three months later, a small team arrived. They had set up a base in Beijing and were using the radio to call on everyone to go there.
The team leader was a girl in her early twenties named Ningxia. She was surprised when she saw Su Xiaoli, and later she gently invited Su Xiaoli to join them.
Su Xiaoli hadn't seen a human in a long time, and now that such a gentle young lady had invited her, she agreed without hesitation.
Before setting off, the team rested at the Su family's house for a whole year, consuming all of the Su family's food supplies before setting off again.
During this year, Su Xiaoli awakened her water-based superpowers, and Ningxia relied on her even more, not only teaching her martial arts but also how to use her superpowers.
Su Xiaoli's superpower was very popular in the early stages, but as more and more people awakened their superpowers, the weak and non-aggressive water-based ability became insufficient.
As more and more powerful people surrounded Ningxia, Su Xiaoli gradually became an outsider, but she always remembered the gentle older sister from back then.
While out searching for resources, a level 3 zombie ambushed Ningxia. Just as it was about to succeed, Su Xiaoli rushed over without hesitation.
Ningxia was saved, but Su Xiaoli died under the claws of zombies.
Su Xiaoli did not disappear after her death. No one knew that she had awakened more than one superpower, including water-based abilities and mental power, which is why she was able to retain some consciousness after death.
She discovered that she was actually a major cannon fodder character in a book.
Ningxia is the female protagonist of this world. In her previous life, she was just an ordinary person who struggled in the apocalypse until she died in a zombie horde ten years later.
But fate was kind to her, giving her a chance to be reborn.
After her rebirth, she fell out with her scheming roommate, led her roommates to the base in City B, recruited followers along the way, seized opportunities, and reached the pinnacle of her life.
She met Su Xiaoli and discovered that the famous top-tier dual-elemental ability user of water and space in her previous life was still just a teenager.
She cleverly won people's hearts and gained Su Xiaoli's favor, even finding spatial equipment in Su's parents' room.
She knew that Su Xiaoli's achievements in her previous life were only due to the spatial equipment she possessed.
She took Su Xiaoli under her wing, making her serve her and become her subordinate.
Later, she also gained many followers, most of whom were famous figures in their previous lives. Because of Ningxia's kindness, they stayed by her side and became her capable assistants.
Ningxia awakened fire-type superpowers by relying on the spiritual spring in the space. By absorbing crystal cores, he continuously upgraded and eventually became the leader of one of the three major forces in China.

When Xiao Li arrived, she saw the horrific sight of Su's father and mother having their necks broken from struggling.
The two had been dead for a long time. Xiao Li dug a pit in the backyard and gave them a proper burial.
Next, they examined the belongings. Su's mother had a wooden ring she found at a street stall; it was simple and elegant, and she liked it very much.
Because it wasn't worth much, she hadn't given it to her daughter before the accident; instead, she had left it on her dressing table.
Su Xiaoli locked her room after her parents died and never went in again.
When Ningxia went for a checkup, she immediately noticed the ring. She liked it very much, and after successfully getting it from Su Xiaoli, she put it on her hand.
She cut her hand while cutting fruit with a knife, and the blood dripped onto the ring, which is how she came to own it.
Xiao Li looked at the wooden ring. Because Su's mother often wiped and wore it, the surface had been polished very smoothly, and the whole ring was very simple and unadorned.
Xiao Li put it into her spatial storage. Instantly, the spiritual spring evolved once again. This time, the spiritual spring and the spiritual river merged into one, exuding a powerful spiritual aura.
There was only one spiritual spring in the ring space. After merging, Xiao Li's spiritual spring became even more perfect.
Xiao Li went to the warehouse and put most of the grain into her spatial storage, leaving only a small amount outside so as not to leave any for Ningxia.
She inspected the entire house, reinforcing what needed to be reinforced and locking what needed to be locked, making sure nothing was missed before returning to her room.
Next, she plans to build her own farm in the apocalypse.
Viruses don't just target humans; plants and animals have also mutated, but most of them have died because they couldn't adapt to the environment.
Only the mutated ones survived, and those that survived became even greener and more vibrant in color.
What might be a terrifying mountain forest for others, Xiaoli loved. The environment was beautiful, the scenery delightful, and it was a perfect place to live.
She possesses a mutated sacred fire from the heart of wood, which allows her to subdue most plants and animals.
She also has an interstellar laboratory where she can conduct experiments, modifying mutated plants and animals to suit her needs.
Xiao Li was focused on her grand renovation plan when Ning Xia woke up in her dormitory.
She had just had her neck bitten off by a zombie, and the blood spurting from the wound had turned her eyes red. She felt a chill on her neck and could hear the sound of blood dripping onto the ground.
That's terrifying!
Looking around, she was lying in her school dormitory, with a group of people sitting around the desk next to her—her roommates.
Has she been reborn?!
They returned to the beginning of the apocalypse.
"Xiaxia, you're awake? We've been stuck in the dorm for days, and everyone's trying to figure out what to do, but you're sleeping soundly."
