In the middle of summer, at 6 in the morning, Lin Xin woke up under the influence of the biological clock in her bedroom. After a simple wash up, she changed into the wine-red sportswear she had just bought. As usual, she prepared to go out and jog around the district.

If it was the Lin Xin from three months ago, even if she talked about losing weight with her colleagues every day, she wouldn't move her limbs at all. All of this was because of the incident three months ago.

Lin Xin looked at herself in the mirror with her neat short hair. Originally, she had a head of carefully groomed chestnut hair. Ever since that night when she was on her way home alone after working overtime, a man with the stench of alcohol on her body pulled her hair and knocked her unconscious, dragging her into the green zone … The first thing she did when she regained consciousness was to cut off the hair that had been on her mind for so many years.

Although the policewoman told her when she was checking her body for statements afterwards that nothing had happened, a kind-hearted person just happened to pass by and save her. Lin Xin, on the other hand, had nightmares after that night. In her dreams, she couldn't avoid her big, rough hands and her big, stinky mouth … Having been provoked, she was no longer able to endure the closeness of her male colleagues. Her female colleagues, who were usually on good terms with her in the company, also slowly distanced themselves from her.

There were sneaky glances everywhere and gossip flew everywhere. She was clearly an innocent, innocent victim. Those vulgar gazes, whether intentionally or not, were always directed at her. It was as if she was the one who had willingly (shamelessly) overdressed herself in such a manner when she encountered such a thing.

Soon, she couldn't stay in the company anymore.

Her immediate superior was an unmarried woman in her thirties, who was usually difficult to get along with. Lin Xin had even said bad things about her to her colleagues, but when she sent her resignation letter, she unexpectedly showed an expression of difficult sympathy.

"This is the decision of the higher-ups. I've already tried. There's no other way. This passbook is above the three month salary, this is the best I can do for you, sorry. To go out and relax is not your fault. "

After waking up that night, Lin Xin didn't cry. When she was ridiculed by her colleagues, she didn't cry either. However, the moment she received the envelope, the tears that she failed to shed for a long time uncontrollably fell down one by one. She choked and said thank you. When she went out, the air seemed to freeze up. Under the gaze of her colleagues in the office, she packed her things bit by bit. Director Zero only had a small box. It turned out that two years of life was only this much.

None of the colleagues who usually had a good time together did say a word of farewell. Lin Xin sniffed with her nose, she had a strong spine, at least when she left, she had to show that she had backbone.

On the day she was dismissed, Lin Xin took a taxi back to her rented apartment, only to discover that the door to the house across the street that had been empty for a long time was wide open. She could not help but tremble as if she was being chased by a ferocious beast. Quickly, she opened the anti-theft door and hid inside.

Now that she thought about it, it was from that day onwards that Lin Xin had the feeling that someone was watching her. However, every time Lin Xin turned around, there would be no trace of her line of sight.

And the house across the street, after the chaos from that day's renovation, the door didn't open again, nor did any sound come out. It was as if that day was just Lin Xin's imagination.

For three months, she had been up early every morning, jogging twenty laps around the neighborhood, making her own breakfast or going to the bakery outside the neighborhood to buy some milk or cake, avoiding the office workers at nine-thirty, taking the empty bus downtown to a tug-of-war class for girls only, and generally avoiding the crowds at noon by eating a sandwich or eating a rice ball off a park bench. Then she rested until half past one, and then she went to the shooting club near the park and spent the afternoon alone.

Lin Xin didn't know how other people were able to recover from such an incident. To her, a portion of her body had already died that night. She had lived a peaceful life for more than twenty years, but she had never known that the difference in strength between men and women was so great. The humiliation and despair that she was unable to resist had been deeply etched into every inch of her body.

Perhaps she would never recover from it. Lin Xin wiped away the sweat on her forehead. Her sports vest was completely soaked, and her right hand was aching from the long and intense shooting practice. Looking at the time, it had already been more than half an hour. As usual, Grandpa Huang who was in charge of keeping time did not rush her. When he received the bow, he smiled as usual and bid her farewell. This year, Grandpa Huang was already sixty-eight years old. He could not afford to be idle at home, which was why Lin Xin chose the shooting club.

On the way home, Lin Xin noticed that the sky, which should have been dark, was burning with a bright orange color. When the light shined on a person's face, it gave off a strange color, causing them to feel panicked. After jogging home, Lin Xin subconsciously looked at the person opposite the door. It was still the Iron Army door, not a single movement. She let out a slow breath, calming the inexplicable turmoil in her heart a little. Suddenly, with a creak, the thick steel security door opposite slowly opened. Lin Xin let out a short cry. She didn't know how she moved, but when she realized it, she had already flashed into the room and sat down with her back against the door.

When she came back to her senses, she laughed at herself. The neighbor next door was probably scared of her. She had only opened the door, but she already met someone as crazy as her.

Standing outside the door, Gu Cheng let out a long sigh. Looking at the blood-red sky outside, he thought, As expected, this day has come. The first thing he did when he came back was to sell off all his properties. They rushed to H City, but unfortunately, she didn't mention when and where it happened. Gu Cheng could only deduce the general gist based on the scattered bits and pieces of information she had mentioned back then. It took her more than two weeks to locate her place of work.

When he rushed over, he was still a step too late. After hearing that short exclamation, it took Gu Cheng two minutes to find the half-unconscious Lin Xin in the green belt, as well as the drunkard who had hurriedly pulled down her Lace Inner Cool (having purposely made a mistake). In that instant, he almost went crazy. The Zheng's eyes tore that person down. In his fury, Gu Cheng had actually forgotten to use his superpower. He had broken one of his hands and three of his ribs, almost killing that person. If not for the fact that there were still three months until the apocalypse, Gu Cheng wouldn't have let that person live if he had caused trouble for Lin Xin.

I'll let you live for three more months. Gu Cheng quickly fished out that person's ID card and silently noted down the address and name. Right at this moment, the siren of the police siren sounded out from afar. He gently touched Lin Xin's face and activated his supernatural ability, quickly merging with his background. He silently watched as the police tortured the unconscious prisoner and took Lin Xin away. She then followed the car all the way to the police station, until Lin Xin muddle-headedly came out of the police station and escorted her back to her living quarters.

It was not like Gu Cheng had not thought that a hero saving the beauty would be a better start. However, he did not dare to take the risk of scaring her in the slightest. In his previous life, she had not been able to escape this calamity.

When he first met her, she was the "red tent" of the convoy. Normally, they would hide in the back of the bus, but most of the time, they would become delirious.

When the men in the caravan bullied her, they always came at this time. Because in her rare moments of clarity, even the strongest man in the caravan couldn't hold her down, and a large chunk of meat was suddenly bitten off. Even so, it wouldn't stop the men from loving her. After all, she was so beautiful that there would always be men willing to take the risk and give it a try. When the men were eating until they were full, they would describe what happened to her vividly and vividly. After being exposed to someone else, they lost their wits. When they were awake, they were afraid of men and their teeth were very strong. If it wasn't for the fact that he was afraid of making her lose her teeth, the car boss would have broken her teeth long ago, which made the other brothers happy when she was unconscious.

Gu Cheng could not be considered a good person within his bones. Just half a year after the apocalypse had begun, his hands had already been drenched with a lot of fresh blood. Sometimes it was to survive, sometimes it was simply because he wanted to find an outlet. He didn't know how Lin Xin had ended up in this group of zombies, but he had no interest in it either. Who would care about something that they were used to seeing? But he himself never touched the "red tent" people, for women, because of the early death of the mother, he always had a soft heart. It was laughable to speak of this. The people of the underworld would not believe that the Black Tiger Palace's usually ruthless second in command would have such a heart. The brothers would only think that he was just being dirty. They would even specially tie him up a clean place to let him have a good beating before resting.

However, what he didn't expect was that this person that he had never placed in his eyes would pull his broken leg out of the pile of corpses and escape after being surrounded by zombies. She had hidden him in an abandoned farmhouse, when food was easy to get, and she could always find a way to feed two people.

Gu Cheng had once asked her why she had saved him. At that time, she had already completely woken up. She had only calmly replied that it was because he had never participated in it before and had never taken advantage of her. After being stimulated by the flying flesh slaughter until she returned to her normal state, she had yet to find the courage to continue living, so she wanted to save him as a reason for her to continue living.

Due to the lack of medicine, Gu Cheng's legs had only recovered after half a year. The two of them had not been able to live a peaceful life in the village, having been robbed and bullied before. Even now, Gu Cheng still could not forget how he had been knocked unconscious by those people while dragging his broken leg. As he fell unconscious, he could only watch helplessly as she struggled to get pushed down by those few people. She was no longer afraid to come into contact with her body parts. After that day, she returned to her previous appearance, and even more.

Gu Cheng was unable to describe the feeling he had that instant in detail. Heartache? Blaming yourself? Regret? He had never told her how happy he was to be able to see her alive the moment he woke up. He was afraid that the group of people would kill her or kidnap her. Only then did he realize that he had fallen in love with her, but he did not dare tell her. He could only bury this feeling deep within his heart. On that day, he discovered that he had activated his psychic abilities. It was a pity that in the early apocalypse, other than serving as a radar, psychic abilities were useless. Most of the time, it was she who took care of him.

In the end, when the village's food was almost finished, they were forced to follow the other survivors and wander around a few bases. Her beauty, even when she was not full and malnourished, was still so piercing that they had to suffer several losses in succession. The last time he was cut off his right arm in order to protect her, he was unconscious for three days and three nights. When he woke up, she had already cut off his face … The sturdy man, who was 1.8 meters tall and had never shed a single tear before, broke his leg and arm. Tears started streaming down his face.

The only thing worth celebrating was that she gradually let her guard down ever since. After being together for more than five years, her eyes finally had a different light to them. Gu Cheng had originally planned to propose to her after having one more task filled with two thousand crystals. Unfortunately, he had suddenly encountered a zombie siege that night. The Light Base had lasted less than two hours and had been annihilated by the flood of zombies.

And they, hiding in the tower at the back of the house, beneath the screaming corpses, Lin Xin gave him a piece of gold and they swallowed it together. When her abdominal pain flared up, for the first time, she placed her thin little hand on his palm.

He clearly had an extremely ugly face in front of him, yet Gu Cheng seemed to have seen the most beautiful scenery in the world, smiling as he went to sleep.

He woke up in the blink of an eye. He had been reborn three months before the apocalypse had begun.

After a moment of ecstasy, he discovered that the spiritual power of the sixth step had also followed him. It was true that the Mentor was a loser in the beginning, but the further one progressed the more formidable he became. Stealth, Teleport, Attack, and Hit – all depended on the ability of the Adept to use them to their limits. Around half a month before his death, Gu Cheng had just learned how to use his spiritual force to open up a space of fifty square meters, scattered with some food and nearly two thousand crystal cores. Most of them were at the third grade, with only a dozen or so fourth and fifth grade crystal cores. There were still a few more that were looted – at that time, these were no longer of any use. The zombies mutated too quickly, so normal firearms could no longer harm them. But at the moment, they are quite useful.

He had entrusted his brothers with full authority over his house and car in S city. Before he could stock up on supplies, he had boarded a plane to H city. Unfortunately, he didn't know anyone in H City. It took him a while to find Lin Xin, but he still missed that decisive three minutes. The only fortunate thing was that she wasn't hurt by that person's attack.

Very quickly, his houses and cars in S City were all sold. Gu Cheng first rented a house opposite Lin Xin, then reinforced all the windows and doors with steel bars. He began spending a large amount of money to collect all sorts of supplies. In order to avoid scaring Lin Xin, he purposely missed the time the two were going out. Lin Xin's sixth sense was not mistaken. Gu Cheng had indeed split a part of his spiritual energy and attached it to her body. He had also specially asked a private investigator to follow her daily routine, afraid that he would make a mistake and bring her harm.

As for how he would meet and get along with her in this life, Gu Cheng had no clue at all. Now, he could only take things one step at a time. Since the heavens had given him a second chance, he would never let his treasures suffer even the slightest bit of damage.

At this time, Lin Xin was standing on the balcony, silently staring at the strange red night sky. In the blink of an eye, an orange meteor streaked across the sky. She was surprised that she had seen a meteor for the first time in her life, when suddenly, a burst of sound came from the sky that didn't seem like thunder, followed by more orange meteors piercing through the starry sky. In the beginning, as she lived in the top floor, she could faintly hear the exclamations of the people walking around in the district, but after a few minutes, the night seemed to freeze over, and she couldn't even hear the sound of the wind.

Lin Xin looked down at the green belt. Under the bright street lights, the area was littered with people who had fainted. Her heart skipped a beat, and before she knew whether or not to hit 1010, someone in the group who had fainted slowly stood up. Lin Xin originally thought that they were trying to wake them up by leaning on the unconscious person. After looking for a while, she discovered a pool of blood-red liquid slowly seeping out from the ground. She covered her mouth in disbelief, afraid that she would make a sound out of fear. Back when they were on good terms with Huang Tingting and the rest, they had also seen a movie about biohazard. She had already guessed the worst possible outcome from the scene before her.

Right at that moment, the person who had been chewing on Grandma Liu's stomach suddenly turned around, his face was green with blood, and his mouth was open, but there was still meat hanging from it. Lin Xin saw everything clearly, and her legs went soft, falling onto the ground.

After a long period of blankness, she finally found some strength. Quickly locking all the doors and windows, she began to search the house for food. Half a bag of rice weighed about five catties, which was only enough for half a month. There was also a large bag of food from the supermarket the day before yesterday. The shelf life of the food was very short, so she decided to use the bread as her main dish for the next few days. Two rows of yoghurt, a small bunch of grapes, and quite a few eggs. Having lived alone for so long, he was too lazy to cook, so he didn't have any vegetables in the fridge. There was only a small half bottle of rice mixed with an old woman and a few bags of pickled vegetables. Lin Xin regretted her bad habit now. She looked at the things in front of her, they were too few. In order to survive, she needed to find as much food as possible while most people were still in a daze.

Lin Xin quickly rummaged through her backpack and went to the kitchen to feel the kitchen knife. If the monsters down there really needed to be decapitated and killed like in the movies, then the kitchen knife wasn't too suitable. It was too short. Unfortunately, after wandering around the room for a long time, she was unable to find a more suitable tool, so she could only give up.

She looked through the peephole. There was no one in the hallway. He opened the door and saw a steel pipe that was less than a meter long and had two sharp ends. It was very suitable for making weapons. Lin Xin suspiciously stared at the opposite side of the door for a long time. She tried knocking on the door, stuck her ear close to the door and listened for a while. There really was no one inside. She thought that the steel pipe was probably forgotten by the decorating workers that day. She didn't notice when she went in and out of the house, but it had turned out to be useful by now.

Lin Xin happily picked up the steel pipe and weighed it. She put the kitchen knife back in the kitchen and carefully locked the door. Only then did she carefully open the door to the safe passage and feel her way down the wall. Not only was she afraid of the people in the elevator, she was also afraid that the sound of the elevator would attract those monsters. Compared to the unknown moment when she opened the door, she would rather slow down and walk down the stairs. The residents of this district, other than a few climbing stairs for exercise, rarely took the safe passage. But Lin Xin still didn't dare to relax. A floor only had two flights of stairs and 24 steps. She walked for more than a minute. Stealthily following behind Lin Xin, Gu Cheng had already released his spiritual force to scout the entire safe passage. Only an old lady had been wandering around on the second floor.

The newborn first generation zombies were very easy to kill before they ate. They no longer had a human instinct, and their soybean-sized brain only had a thirst for meat. As a result, he didn't clean her up and left her for Lin Xin to practice with. If she really couldn't, then he would be able to make up for it.

But this time, it really wasn't his turn to act. When she reached the third floor, she heard a sound from the second floor. After observing for a while, she realized that the other person couldn't even make it up the stairs, so she mustered her courage and walked over, and neatly stabbed the steel pipe to the end with the red and white liquid flowing out of the hole in her eye. Lin Xin subconsciously pulled out the steel pipe, and the disgusting liquid stopped flowing into her hand.

When Gu Cheng saw the blank expression on her face, he regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would have done it himself. He didn't think that Lin Xin would quickly return to normal, shake off the blood on the steel pipe and continue on her way. Gu Cheng sighed to himself as he followed behind her, maintaining a distance of about a meter or so. Soon, they arrived at the first floor.

There were more than ten zombies wandering around the green belt. The one close by seemed to have smelled Lin Xin's scent and was about to walk over.

Lin Xin took out a dime tube from her pocket and quickly pushed out two coins. Taking advantage of the moment the zombie was attracted, she quickly slipped out the side door. Since she didn't have a car, her search target was the grocery store and the bakery next to the side door.

Unfortunately, the Goddess of Luck wasn't on her side this time. There were several zombies squeezed into the grocery store on her right. Lin Xin remembered that recently it was the football tournament and the store had been crowded with spectators. She sighed. She could only try her luck at the bakery on her left.

Fortunately, she only saw three zombies through the glass door. Two of them were shop assistants, while the other one was probably an unlucky customer. Lin Xin tightly held onto the steel pipe and lightly knocked on the glass door. As expected, customers close to the door were attracted over. She used her foot to open the door for it, and when it smelled her meat and hissed, wanting to bite her head off, Lin Xin resisted the fear in her heart and fiercely stabbed the steel pipe into its mouth, until it dripped yellow and white liquid … This was the second one he had killed himself. She silently encouraged herself. The commotion just now had alarmed the two shop assistants inside. Lin Xin followed the same method as before, using her foot to block a person's position. Once the zombie filled the gap, she would stab the tube down, kick it open, and give the third one a tube.

In less than two minutes, she had taken care of the zombies in the bakery. Without any time to hesitate, Lin Xin quickly scanned the shelves. She was a regular at the bakery and knew where everything was located. First, she put all the finger biscuits, butter cookies, and nut cookies she had saved for a long shelf life into her backpack, then the hot hand-made chocolates and canned jam. As for the milk, she didn't even consider taking it, just filling the remaining space in her backpack with crushed bread and cake. Just as she was about to pack up, the footsteps of several people came from outside the door. She raised her head and saw a man from the fourth floor walking in with two other men. Lin Xin quickly zipped up her backpack and tightly held the steel pipe that was still dripping blood.

The three men looked at the three zombies lying at the entrance, then looked at the person in her hands.

"Miss Lin, did you take care of all these?"

Lin Xin tensed up and nodded her head. She waited until the three of them went into the store before carefully retreating. Gu Cheng split his spiritual force with her before leaving. Sure enough, he heard the three of them collecting the leftover bread on the shelves while discussing in low voices.

"What a spicy little girl. Her figure is truly tasty, and her face is also quite pretty."

"I heard that she was dragged into a grove earlier. No matter how beautiful she is, isn't she just a broken shoe?"

"First time, second time. Old Wang, do you know which floor she lives on? We'll meet her." "Maybe this girl is still talking about that smell. I will definitely make her satisfied with this thing."

"Let's drop it. Just now, that weakling was scared to the point of almost peeing his pants by a zombie. It's just your piss!"

Other than the one that had been ridiculed, the other two were afraid of attracting the monsters, so they all chuckled softly.

Courting death! Gu Cheng's eyes darkened, and the spiritual force that he had separated immediately turned into three thin needles, piercing through the temples of the three people and bringing out a thin line of blood. The three of them, who were just beating each other up, didn't even have time to stop smiling before they fell to the ground one by one.

On the way back, Lin Xin used the same trick, using a few coins to lure away the nearby zombies, and soon returned home. After putting away the food, she turned on the TV and the computer to see what was going on outside.

There were urgent notifications on the news, warning the citizens not to panic and stay home for help. The zombies outside looked like terrifying movies, but according to the experts' estimates, it was related to the alien virus that the meteor shower had brought. The specific situation was still awaiting further study. Following that, some important figures came out to give a comforting speech. Lin Xin switched to the Battle Network. The gossip forum had already become a family search forum. It was filled with posts from Survivors' Newspaper.

Lin Xin's mother was an orphan. Her father died in a car accident when she was fifteen. Her mother was a weak person. She couldn't live without a man to support her, so she was quickly remarried by her neighbors. The other side was a gentle looking elementary school teacher. When he met with Lin Xin, he was very cordial and repeatedly emphasized to his mother that he didn't mind her bringing an extra daughter over. Of course, Lin Xin's mother agreed. It would be much easier to have one more person to help her pay for her daughter's tuition.

Lin Xin was young, but she had a lot of eyes and mind. Usually he avoided his stepfather and stayed in high school, even though the house was only two stops away from the school. In the end, she still couldn't hide from him. That scoundrel took advantage of her mother's illness to go into the hospital and swindle Lin Xin into returning home for the Mid-Autumn Festival. If she didn't carry a knife with her, she would have been taken by him.

As a result, when she found out from her neighbor which hospital her mother was in and told her stepfather had done something to her with tears all over his face, after a moment of silence, her mother gave her several hundred dollars and told her to go back to school.

From then on, unless she had no living expenses, she would call her mother and arrange a time to go home to collect her money. From then on, unless she had no living expenses, she would call her mother and come back home to collect her money. The Lady Boss was a kind-hearted person. Unfortunately, she was still young, so she often cooked delicacies. After graduating from senior year, she even got a salary of 5,000 yuan.

Lin Xin knew that she didn't have the guts to say no. She thanked the Lady Boss and specifically chose a university with a full scholarship. She had left home for seven years and still hadn't returned home. If you had to say that place was "home."

Sometimes, when she woke up in the middle of the night, Lin Xin would sometimes find her fate laughable. His mother was clearly an orphan, but her personality was like soft mud that couldn't be put back up. On the other hand, he himself, who had been pampered by his father until he turned fifteen, was much stronger.

She turned off the computer and, somewhat distracted, picked up her change of clothes to take a shower. They were already thought to be dead, so why bother asking for trouble!
