Chapter 1 Rebirth
"Yanzhi, your parents have passed away. What kind of family business is it to hand over the inheritance to an outsider? Can an outsider be as reliable as our relatives? Listen to your aunt and let your uncle manage the company. It will definitely be better than it is now."
"Yes, Yanzhi, don't you know how your uncle and aunt have treated you and Yanlin all these years? Handing the company over to your uncle would definitely be better than it is now. When Yanlin graduates, we'll give the company to him."
"Yanzhi, you should think this over carefully. We women, even after marriage, still need a strong family background to live a good life. I know you and Song Zhao are childhood sweethearts and have a deep bond, but you can't judge a book by its cover. What if he gets any bad intentions? You'll be in deep trouble."
"It's best to put the company in the hands of family members, otherwise you'll end up with nothing. Your uncle and aunt certainly won't cheat you."
Inside the coffee shop, Gu Yanzhi remained silent, his face cold.
Her head was turned toward the window, looking at the bustling traffic outside. Her hands were clenched into fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh. It took a lot of effort to control her shocked expression.
She's still alive! She's actually still alive!
One second she was hearing the deafening sound of explosions, but the next she was back in the pre-apocalyptic world.
Looking at the two people before him, their faces, which had long been blurred in his memory, gradually became clear. Gu Yanzhi clearly remembered the desperate look in their eyes and their ravaged skin before they died.
But what did this have to do with her? They were also among the murderers who killed their parents. Thinking of this, Gu Yanzhi's eyes turned bloodthirsty and cold. She got up and left the coffee shop.
The two hadn't expected Gu Yanzhi to be so disrespectful, and their expressions immediately darkened. However, remembering that they hadn't achieved their goal yet, they put on enthusiastic smiles and called out to Gu Yanzhi's retreating figure, "Yanzhi, think carefully about what we just said. It's all for your own good!"
"Pah, little brat, just wait until I get the company and see how I deal with him!" Gu Li's face darkened again after Gu Yanzhi's figure disappeared from sight, and she said hatefully.
"Little sister, you still have to try to persuade Yanzhi a bit more. After all, you two are related by blood. Your older brother treated you very well when he was alive, so Yanzhi will definitely listen to you," Li Hong quickly comforted Gu Li. "Once the company is acquired, everything your brother owns will be yours, and you'll definitely get a share of the profits."
——————————————
Standing on the side of the road, watching the crowds coming and going and listening to the noise outside, Gu Yanzhi felt a real sense of returning from the apocalypse.
Ten years into the apocalypse, Gu Yanzhi couldn't describe how much suffering she endured. Finally, as the apocalypse was about to end, she avenged herself, her parents, and the person she loved most by sacrificing herself in the process.
After leaving the coffee shop, the first thing Gu Yanzhi did was take out his phone to check the time.
It's July 15th, 2135, three months before the apocalypse. Thankfully, there's still time.
This time, she will definitely work hard with her brother and her lover to survive until the end of the world.
Gu Yanzhi wasn't very good at using a phone, but he found Song Zhao's number and dialed it.
"Zhizhi, what's wrong?" Hearing that familiar voice, Gu Yanzhi couldn't stop her tears from falling. It was the voice she had missed for 10 years.
"Zhizhi, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?" Song Zhao's voice became urgent when she didn't hear a voice.
"Zhizhi, what's wrong? Did they bully you?"
Fortunately, Gu Yanzhi had arranged to meet Gu Li and Li Hong at a shopping mall next to Gu's, which is why Song Zhao saw Gu Yanzhi squatting pitifully by the roadside as soon as he went downstairs.
"Waaah, Zhao Zhao, Zhao Zhao, I missed you so much!" Upon seeing that familiar face from his memory, Gu Yanzhi hugged Song Zhao tightly and cried uncontrollably.
"Sweetie, sweetie, don't cry."
Gu Yanzhi didn't cry for long before her emotions stabilized and her expression hardened. "Zhaozhao, let's go home. Call Yanlin back too; I need to talk to you about something."
On the way back, Gu Yanzhi called Gu Yanlin, holding back her tears, and told him to hurry home and wait for them.
Along the way, although Song Zhao was very worried, seeing Gu Yanzhi's solemn expression, she suppressed the words of comfort she wanted to say and decided to wait until they got home to ask.
After a smooth journey home, Gu Yanlin was already waiting for Gu Yanzhi in the living room, with her favorite milk tea prepared on the table.
"Sister, Brother Zhao, what's wrong? Why did you call me back so mysteriously? Is the family going bankrupt?" Seeing the two walk in side by side, especially Gu Yanzhi's strange expression, Gu Yanlin said worriedly.
Gu Yanzhi gestured for the two to sit opposite him, then pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "I've been reborn, from the apocalypse ten years in the future."
"Listen to me, I'm not joking, and I'm perfectly lucid." Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, especially the younger brother's obvious disbelief, and even his attempt to check if he had a fever, Gu Yanzhi emphasized her words.
Three months later, a sudden flood swept the globe. The internet was affected by an unfamiliar magnetic field, and the network went down just two days after the flood. Then, it rained heavily for two whole months, and later the water and electricity were also gradually cut off.
At that time, Gu Yanlin was studying at a university in the capital. Gu Yanzhi had been unable to contact him.
Years later, after Gu Yanzhi eventually arrived at the capital base, she met Gu Yanlin's classmate and learned that Gu Yanlin had been swept away by the flood and his body had never been found.
After the torrential rain came a nearly two-year-long period of extreme cold, with the lowest temperature reaching below -60 degrees Celsius. Many people were unprepared to freeze to death.
