Apocalyptic Rebirth

The fire was something that the youth had ordered.

In the process, the youth stood in front of the pile of firewood and looked at the man lying on it. His hands trembled a little, and although he didn't drop the lighter on the ground, he couldn't bring himself to push it and ignite the fire.

Lin Lin did not say anything, and quietly looked at the young lad.

Only when he finally controlled his emotions did he light up the few pieces of paper he had found earlier and throw them on the pile of firewood.

Maybe because the Zombie had clothes on them, it was easy to light them up. In addition to that, the Zombie oil that was already exposed caused the fire to become even hotter and hotter.

As for Lin Lin, when she saw that the youth's face was bright red from the firelight, she couldn't help but ponder once again why she had helped him.

He would stop the car, partly because the other side had blocked his path.

On the other hand, after a few days of trekking and finally meeting a human, he naturally had some inexplicable feelings.

Perhaps it was because of his extremely stubborn gaze that she thought of herself, and how she felt when Lin Yuyan and Qin Rongyue chased her.

However, it was not a moment of pity for him to invite the other party to accompany him. The other party was a little boy that even Liu Huiyi could not match up to, and yet she seemed to be pampered. She did not even know some basic survival skills, and if he was brought along, it would be equivalent to having an additional disciple.

As for the reason why he chose to bring him along because he appreciated the other party's character and behavior, Lin Lin had already committed a sin of stupidity once, so it was naturally impossible for him to commit it again.

To the very end, Lin Lin had actually taken a fancy to the other party... Her superpower.

That's right. This seemingly weak and fragile youth had actually already awakened his Discipline, and it was a wind-type Discipline.

Adepts could actually sense each other. Of course, that was only when you accepted the existence of a Discipline. Otherwise, why would you associate this with a feeling like this? And a superpower like the Wind Element wasn't like any fire or ice element, which could cause fire or ice to appear out of thin air and be easily discovered by others.

Wind element, even if you use it, at the beginning, you probably would have thought that a wave of wind came from somewhere and didn't even think about your own body.

While Lin Lin was covering the youth's eyes, she could feel the energy fluctuations that would only appear on her body when he was an ability user. In addition, perhaps it was because of her sudden appearance that caused the young man's emotions to fluctuate, leading to her ability to protect her master. At that moment, the flow of air around him changed. However, Lin Lin was a level 1 Adept, so the young man's elementary ability could not hurt her. But accordingly, she also knew that this youth's superpower was the Wind element.

Power was definitely not something that could be found everywhere like cabbages. If not, humans would not be living such a difficult life. In the end, only a tenth of the humans survived.

The timing of the awakening ability was also very critical. The earlier someone ranked with the awakening ability, the better it would be for them to level up in the future. For most people, it would take a month or even two months to rise from the early level to the first level. The first batch of awakened Disciplines, however, would be able to stabilize at the first level within ten days. And the later the level, the more difficult it was to level up the awakening ability.

It was only the eighth day since the apocalypse, but she had run into someone holding a awakening ability. She had awakened even before Lin Lin had met a Leader at a small base later on.

No matter what, if this youth managed to survive, the results would be extraordinary.

Lin Lin then had the thought of recruiting him into her hunting group. If he was taught by her, who could be called a "teacher in the apocalypse", he would definitely be able to unleash the potential of this youth to the maximum, becoming a strong warrior.

Of course, being extremely strong was not the only requirement for Lin Lin to choose teammates. Also, she had to test the other party's character and whether they had the qualifications to be her teammates.

First, honesty and reliability.

Presumably, he felt that this world wasn't that complicated, but Lin Lin had helped him during his most difficult time, so it wasn't that easy to forget this relationship.

Second, be brave and fearless.

An expert, one that could be relied on, if he was timid, then what was the use of it. It was better to be the one at the front brandishing the saber, even if the opponent didn't have a superpower.

Third, the overall quality is enough.

The main point was that Lin Lin only needed to observe that the other party was not a cruel and merciless person, but she was not a person who was kind enough to think of saving everyone. In other words, Lin Lin only needed to take notice of him.

From the looks of it from the front, this young man still fit Lin Lin's requirements a little, but their time together was too short, and he couldn't completely see through some of Lin Lin's personality, so Lin Lin needed a period of time to observe, which was why she would put the young man down after saying this. If the middle young man did not satisfy her conditions, then her words should follow them and not make any mistakes.

If Lin Lin was very satisfied with the youth, she could at least urge him to stay for a while.

The fire crackled, and the Zombie that was lying on top of it made a series of sounds as it was close to being burnt.

Lin Lin sat down, took out the water and rations from her backpack, gave a portion to the youth and said: "Eat it, then you will have the strength to beat up Zombie s and be able to live."

The young man regained his senses and looked dazedly at the faint expression on Lin Lin's face. Although she had not smiled from the start and did not say a single word of consolation, her actions had already warmed his ice-cold heart.

He took the bowl, lowered his eyes, and thanked her again. "Thank you."

Lin Lin nodded and did not say anything else. Instead, she looked at the Zombie that was burnt to a crisp and gnawed on her compressed biscuit.

It was a good thing that although the Zombie's body smelled bad, with the fire, a faint smell of meat wafted out.

Lin Lin took a whiff, and suddenly thought of the steak she ate before the apocalypse, and couldn't help but have a tinge of nostalgia.

She had always thought that her sense of taste had no effect on her, or perhaps she did not care anymore to eat what was in her stomach. After all, to eat something that could only fill one's stomach up for a long period of time after the apocalypse.

However, after her rebirth, the five months of delicious food had allowed her to experience the same feelings she had before. Although she could eat the compressed biscuits now, she could not help but reminisce about her past.

Just as Lin Lin was considering whether she should go and collect some meat, or perhaps feed some fowl, duck, fish, sheep, cattle or something similar to that, she heard a small voice.

"Xi Shiyu."

When Xi Shiyu saw Lin Lin looking at her, she thought that she said it too suddenly, making Lin Lin a little confused. She explained again, and said: "Xi Shiyu, my name is."

Lin Lin replied politely, "Lin Lin."

Xi Shiyu nodded in understanding. After that, the two of them ended their self-introductions.

The food is almost ready, there's no entertainment, and you don't dare to have any. Lin Lin could also feel that the youth was tired. Her spirit was running out, and she could no longer hold on. Her eyes started to squint, but before every time she was about to fall asleep, she secretly pinched her thigh. Then she'll wake up for a while.

Xi Shiyu should have fled here with the butler far away from the apocalypse. However, for some reason, his butler turned into a Zombie, and Xi Shiyu was forced into a helpless situation and killed her butler, Zombie.

Extending his body, perhaps the butler was turned into a Zombie by the Zombie in order to protect Xi Shiyu. This could be seen from the few Zombie on the ground.

Seeing Xi Shiyu, who had once again almost fallen asleep and pinched himself awake, Lin Lin spoke out.

"You can lie down and sleep. I don't think you'll catch a cold if there's a fire here. I'll keep watch."

Xi Shiyu quickly shook her head, "I will stay up for half the night, you can stay up for half the night."

Lin Lin frowned slightly, and said: "Do you think you can hold on, or should I say, do you think that I will be able to sleep soundly while you keep vigil?"

Xi Shiyu was speechless, because what Lin Lin said was too right, and he could not object to it.

"Sleep in the first half of the night, I'll wake you up in the second half."

Xi Shiyu wanted to say something but eventually nodded her head in agreement. She turned around and moved slightly away from the pile of firewood, closing her eyes to sleep.

But Lin Lin did not open his eyes wide to look around to see if there were any Zombie s. Instead, she closed his eyes, as if she was dozing on a balcony. Actually, most of the people at the beginning of the apocalypse had to focus their minds, because they felt that the Zombie had appeared out of nowhere. If they were not careful in the dark, they might be surrounded and attacked by the Zombie.

However, many people discovered that this type of vigil was too tiring and would easily cause the night watchmen to feel mentally exhausted. This would not be good for them.

As a result, everyone kept trying to get into a state of half asleep and half dreaming. This way, they would have a relatively long period of rest and be able to pay attention to their surroundings and react to what was happening at the fastest speed possible.

In the end, he didn't get into a deep sleep to rest well, but after the apocalypse, who dared to sleep too well? Was he not afraid of a dark hand slowly reaching for him and making him die in his sleep? The apocalypse had changed too much. Even if they were at a safe base, accidents could happen.

However, even if they were just taking a light nap, the amount of physical energy they gained from resting was far greater than that of an average person.

Perhaps it was because she was too tired, or perhaps it was because she believed in Lin Lin, but it was better for her to sleep well the entire night. When she woke up, it was already the second day. The sky was bright and Lin Lin was sitting in her SUV, looking in his direction.

Without any hesitation, Xi Shiyu stood up and looked at the firewood and Zombie s that had been burnt to ashes at some point in time. He did not turn back as he walked straight towards Lin Lin's direction.

"Why didn't you call me?" asked Xi Shiyu, his eyes shining as he walked forward.

Lin Lin jumped out of the car, "You slept very well."

Actually, she didn't call him Xi Shiyu at all, and Xi Shiyu wasn't too familiar with him either. She seemed to have a nightmare, constantly calling him "housekeeper, housekeeper," but she didn't mention a word like "father" or "mother".

He was still a child, even as an adult, he would subconsciously call her mother in such a situation, while Xi Shiyu just called her "housekeeper." On one hand, it could be said that he had a very good relationship with his housekeeper, but it was also obvious from the side that he was like many rich people.

Xi Shiyu's face turned slightly red. She pursed her lips and said with a bit of shame, "I'll stay in the front half of the night."

Lin Lin nodded and asked: "Do you have any supplies?"

Xi Shiyu froze for a second, then nodded and said, "Yes, there's still some food and drinks left."

"Go and pack those things. Consider them your rations. I can't possibly raise you. After taking them, we'll leave."

Xi Shiyu did not feel that Lin Lin was heartless, because he had seen too many of the heartless relationships between relatives. It was already good enough for a stranger to help him like this.

"Alright."
