Chapter 1-Chapter 2 I Woke Up and Traveled Through Time/The End of the World
6.
…
The girl in her nightgown sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
Last night, she stayed up late in bed reading the apocalypse novel she was following recently, just like usual.
How come she was dressed when she woke up? And she
was still dressed!
She only brought her StellaLou pajamas
with her! She has a different name from the heroine, supporting actress, villain, and cannon fodder in the novel I watched last night!
Can she wear this? !
Is she dressed as a nameless passerby?

6 turned over.
——————
Time went back to half an hour ago.
The girl was awakened by the dazzling sunlight in the early morning. When she opened her eyes, she found that the bedroom she was in was very unfamiliar. She lost all sleepiness in an instant and immediately sat up from the unfamiliar bed.
Looking down, she saw that she was still wearing the StellaLou pajamas she had worn before going to bed last night, and she didn't feel any discomfort. She breathed a sigh of relief. She
glanced at the bedside table, lifted the quilt and pillow, but couldn't find her phone.
She could only suppress her panic, calm down temporarily, sit on the bed, and look at the bedroom again. It
was a very girly bedroom, with pink and lace everywhere. The bedroom was not big, with only a dressing table and a princess bed. There were no photos on the bedside table or the wall.
She got up from the bed and quietly looked through the drawers of the dressing table, but didn't find anything with identity information. She
walked to the bedroom door, put her ear to the crack of the door, and listened carefully to the sounds outside. After waiting for five minutes, it was still quiet. She
took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and gently opened the door.
She stuck her head out and found that outside was a living room with a balcony, connected to an open kitchen. The doors of the study, cloakroom, and bathroom were also open, and there was no one else as far as she could see. She
breathed a sigh of relief.
She still didn't understand what was going on.
If she met the original owner or roommate of this house, she wouldn't be able to explain herself!
The girl came out of the bedroom and went straight to the bathroom.
She turned on the ceiling light.
The bright warm yellow light illuminated her fair and delicate face, which was slightly wet with cold sweat.
Huh -
another sigh of relief.
This is her own face.
The eyebrows, nose, lips, every mole, the position of the ear holes, and the pajamas she wore were all original!
But who could tell her?
What was going on!!!
"Ah!!!!"
Just when she was puzzled, a terrified scream came from outside the balcony.
!!!
???
She quickly came out of the bathroom and ran to the balcony.
The balcony had floor-to-ceiling windows, not an open terrace, but she lay on the glass and could clearly see the situation downstairs.
This one glance immediately frightened her legs and she sat on the floor.
The girl withdrew her gaze in horror.
What is that!!!
She clenched her palms tightly and felt the stinging pain of her nails against her palms.
This made her even more panicked.
Being able to feel pain means that everything she is experiencing now is not a dream, but reality!!!
What is that monster that is eating people downstairs!!!
Is it... a zombie? ? ? ? ? ! !
The girl hugged her trembling arms tightly and buried her head in her arms.
Tears fell uncontrollably and soon wet the sleeves of her pajamas.
From the time she woke up to now, too many unexpected things happened in a short period of time.
She couldn't help feeling scared and panicked.
Her name is Bai Zhi. She
is only 18 years old and just graduated from high school.
She grew up in a happy family and was loved and spoiled by her parents and brother.
In the eyes of others, she is a good student with a happy family and excellent grades, a simple, quiet, introverted good girl.
Except for her love of watching the Internet, she usually has no bad habits.
The most rebellious thing she did during her adolescence was to hide in the quilt at night and stay up late to watch without her parents' knowledge.
She is an old bookworm who has been reading for 8 years. Her favorite theme is apocalyptic literature.
There are male-oriented apocalyptic literature with cool superpowers and killing people everywhere, beautiful, strong and tragic zombie apocalyptic literature that depicts the tug-of-war between human nature and reality, apocalyptic literature about the revenge of a top-level boss, apocalyptic literature about a female supporting character with a powerful golden finger who counterattacks and travels through a book, apocalyptic literature about a system that runs a store or hotel with a quick-travel mission, apocalyptic literature about a leisurely and Buddhist farming style living in a corner...
She has read all kinds of apocalyptic literature.
But she never thought that one day, she would travel into an apocalyptic literature herself!!!
Zombies!!! She
could still tolerate it in the movie, but now it is the real version, right in front of her, who can stand it!!!
Bai Zhi's heart was broken.
She didn't even have the courage to look at the bloody scene downstairs.
When her legs were no longer weak, she stood up in a daze and sat down on the sofa. Then she fell into a trance of what was going on and what she should do.
————————
After half an hour of psychological preparation, Bai Zhi gradually calmed down from the initial panic and her mood became much calmer.
Even though she was still afraid and very worried about her future.
But she had never been a person who gave up her life easily or gave up easily in the face of difficulties and setbacks.
So she forced herself to face reality and accept it in a short time.
If she couldn't find a way to go back, she would have to find a way to survive in this world.
Obviously, from the quick glance at the cannibalism scene downstairs, it was just like what she had read, this should be a zombie apocalypse world.
But the light in the bathroom could still be turned on, which meant there was still electricity, so the apocalypse might have just begun.
Thinking of this, the girl immediately got up from the sofa, walked to the bathroom, turned on the faucet of the bathtub, and found that there was still water, and there was no visual change in color or turbidity.
She immediately blocked the bathtub and started to collect water.
At the same time, she filled the buckets and washbasins in the bathroom, all the pots and pans in the kitchen, the plastic storage boxes for clothes and quilts in the closet, and all the containers that could hold water with water. She boiled
drinking water in kettles, cups, rice bowls, and noodle bowls and let them cool down first.
Then she began to organize and count the existing supplies in the house, while looking for anything that could reveal the owner's identity information.
Unfortunately, she did not find any documents, books, or letters with identity information such as her name.
The books in the study were also very mixed and had no direction. There were no annotations or signatures on the pages of the books.
There were no photos in the entire house.
No personal electronic products such as mobile phones, tablets, and computers were found.
Oh, right! There is a TV in the living room!
The power is still on, maybe there will be some news!
Bai Zhi immediately turned on the TV, and the international news channel was playing, replaying international current affairs.
"Recently, an asteroid with a diameter of 60 meters exploded over a local area, destroying more than 2,000 square kilometers of ancient forests and injuring 12,000 people.
Subsequently, "meteor showers" occurred in many countries, sparking heated discussions and concerns among the public.
In many regions of various countries, people claimed to have observed meteors suddenly appearing in the sky, scattering hot fragments in all directions. , first a thunderous sound was heard, and then stones were seen falling like raindrops. The grass beside the meteorite was burnt and yellowed, and it was easy to get burned when picking up the meteorite.
Scientists analyzed some meteorites with molten surfaces and found metals such as radium, cobalt, nickel, copper, iridium, and germanium. Among
them, the most radioactive metal element is radium, which accounts for percent in meteorites... "
Meteorite rain?
It sounded like the news a few days ago.
Bai Zhi didn't care too much at the moment. She wanted to find out if there was any official announcement about zombies, but she changed several channels and they were all broadcasting TV dramas and variety shows.
Finally, she stopped at the CCTV News Channel, which was repeating a notice.
"Recently, vicious injury incidents have occurred in many parts of the world. Many people suddenly attacked and bit passers-by. Some of the bitten people showed the same behavior, and some had a fever and fell into a coma. The cause of the incident is currently under investigation. Please reduce going out as much as possible and stay away from those who suddenly attack and hurt others. If you find any abnormalities, please call the police immediately. For specific circumstances, please wait patiently for official follow-up notifications..."
It seems that the authorities have not officially announced the zombies.
But Bai Zhi has a strong sixth sense.
This must be the end of the world! What
she just saw, someone pounced on another person and bit him madly, and the scene of blood and flesh all over the ground must be zombies!
In order to find out the situation as soon as possible, she walked to the floor-to-ceiling window again.
Both the biter and the bitten were no longer there, leaving only a pool of blood.
Observing the surrounding environment, she was in an upscale residential area with a wide distance between buildings. Facing the garden and swimming pool downstairs.
There was a gym and a convenience supermarket on the other side of the swimming pool.
The high-rise buildings in the same residential area blocked the view further away.
Perhaps because there had just been a vicious assault downstairs, the lights in the supermarket were on, but no one was seen entering or leaving the door.
Bai Zhi returned to the living room and continued to sort out her supplies while listening to the repeated announcements on the news channel on TV to avoid missing out on new news.
The original owner of the house may have just made a large purchase, and there were two boxes of mineral water and a bottle of milk in the utility room.
There is plenty of oil, rice, and noodles in the kitchen cabinets, and a lot of vegetables, meat, eggs, and fruits in the refrigerator. There is also ice cream in the freezer.
There are also several large bags of instant snacks, nuts, and cereals in the drawers
of the coffee table. There are candles, matches, lighters, and a home medical kit in the drawers of the TV cabinet. There are daily medicines for treating colds, diarrhea, burns, etc., as well as medical supplies for disinfection and bandaging.
There are hammers and wrenches in the utility room, stainless steel clothes drying rods on the balcony, kitchen knives in the kitchen, and the bed frame of the princess bed is also made of metal, which can be disassembled and used as a weapon when necessary.
There are clothes for all seasons in the closet, and Bai Zhi didn't care whether anyone has worn them before. She changed into a long sports suit that is convenient for running and fits her well. She also tied her hair up on top of her head.
She didn't have to worry about her food and clothing in the short term, so she walked to the video doorbell next to the door and checked the real-time surveillance outside the door.
According to the surveillance, this should be the sixth floor, with two households per elevator and a pedestrian safety passage next to the elevator.
Seeing that the elevator stopped on the 20th floor and did not move, and the door of the opposite resident was closed, Bai Zhi prepared to muster up the courage to go out and try whether the door of the safety passage could be opened and how to open it.
According to her experience, it is crucial to plan possible escape routes in advance in critical moments.
Baizhi took out a surgical mask from the shoe cabinet, put it on, changed into sneakers and tied her shoelaces. She
gently opened the door and took a look at the door lock first. It was a smart password lock that could be unlocked by fingerprint.
She tried her own fingerprint. Although she didn't know why, she was relieved to find that she could open the door.
She opened the door and went out, and walked quietly to the door of the security passage. The iron door was closed and could not be pushed. She put her ear against the door, and there was no sound coming from inside.
There was a white "PUSH" button on the wall next to the door. Baizhi tried to press it, and the iron door made a slight unlocking sound, and then pushed the door again to move.
Gently pushing a crack, Baizhi was alert and quickly looked at the situation behind the door.
The safety passage is just an ordinary stairwell. You can only see a section of stairs leading to the upper and lower floors respectively, and you can't see anything after turning the corner.
After closing the door to the passage, Bai Zhi looked at the door opposite again before returning to the house. The neighbor's house was also very quiet, and she was not sure if anyone was home.
She did not intend to knock on the door to get to know them.
If this was really the end of the world, then she, a weak woman who was alone at home and might have supplies, would be like a fat sheep on the chopping board, being coveted and coveted.
So it would not be a wise move to expose her situation proactively.
Back in the house, while there was still water and electricity, Bai Zhi made a bowl of tomato and egg noodles to fill her stomach. After resting for a while, she took a hot shower, blew her hair dry, took out some fruit from the refrigerator, and sat on the sofa.
While eating grapes, she slowly digested the reality in her heart.
The situation reflected in these few hours was already very clear.
She estimated that she could not go back.
This should be the zombie apocalypse.
This house may not have had an original owner. It is just the "birth house" where she started her life in the apocalypse after she came here.
Since zombies have already appeared, what about superpowers?
Are there superpowers in this world?
She did not find any abnormalities or changes in her body. Does this mean that she has not yet possessed superpowers?
How can superpowers be obtained? Do you
need to be scratched by zombies like in the story, then have a fever and coma, and then wake up to get it?
In the TV news just now, it was mentioned that some of the people who were bitten also suddenly injured others, while others fell into a state of fever and coma.
Will these people who have fever and coma become superpowers when they wake up?
How should the zombies be attacked to disable them? Is it as written, by knocking on the head?
Are there really crystal cores in the brains of those zombies?
Bai Zhi's mind was full of questions.
And most of the questions cannot be answered now.
Perhaps she will know the answers to these questions when the official announcement is made, or when she has the ability to go out and find out.
What she can do now is to seize the time and exercise her physical fitness in this relatively safe "birth house".
When she encounters danger, she can run faster and attack the zombies with greater force.
She also needs to exercise her courage so that when facing the zombies, she can look them bravely and no longer be afraid.

(The following does not count towards the update’s text count)
Hello~
dear friends, long time no see, I’m here with another topic I want to write about – apocalypse writing~ (′ω`)
I originally wanted to finish writing all of it before updating, but I’m a person who only has a three-minute interest.
To be honest, I’ve also started two other plots, with a lot of ideas and a lot of things I want to write about, but none of them have been completed (covering my face).
I’ve been writing here and there, and each of them has 80,000 to 90,000 words.
Although I’m sure I won’t fail, I don’t know when I’ll finish them all. It’s too lonely to write alone, and I need readers’ comments to motivate me┭┮﹏┭┮Alas
… So I decided to post as much as I write first~
Thank you for your support from everyone who clicked on the new article!
As the old saying goes, everyone's comments and my words are free~
I also hope that everyone will leave more comments when reading the article, whether it is encouragement, complaints, criticism and correction~
I will seriously read everyone's feedback~ It feels like watching a drama with bullet screens, it's quite interesting~ヾ≧≦)o
This time I want to write about an ordinary person, such as you, me and her, who does not have an IQ of 180, does not have a mind denser than a beehive, and does not have the physique and skills comparable to special forces.
Just a little bit of luck, got a supernatural power that can save life, so he can eat melons and live in the end times. ()
Not a strong female article, not a saint, not a male protagonist delivering goods to a warehouse. SC.
I hope you all like it～()
[PS: Due to Baozi’s carelessness, there was a bug when publishing chapters 3, 4, and 5 on schedule. Later, I found that I couldn’t change the order of the chapters, nor could I delete the erroneous chapters, so I could only modify chapters 1 and 2, and move chapters 3, 4, and 5 to the position of chapter 2. Alas… I’m so stupid, I’m crying (灬灬). When you see the erroneous chapters, just skip them and cover your face… 】
