Night fell.
In another building a few hundred meters away from Lu Ming, Chen Yu's expression was exceptionally cold!
"Why has the timeline reset to the eve of the apocalypse?! I clearly killed everyone in this neighborhood, and now I've returned to before the apocalypse."
"What on earth is happening..." Chen Yu sat alone in the dark, with no lights on, perhaps finding that the darkness helped him think more clearly.
"After three days of observation, I've discovered something... The others don't have memories of the previous life; they don't remember me slaughtering them or my safe house in the apocalypse..."
"Only I retain the memories and the spatial abilities. But... why is this?"
"In the previous life, I was the first in this community to awaken superpowers. I ruled here without suspense, and after leaving the neighborhood, I discovered traces of other superpowered individuals and forces..."
"Just when I was about to go further, time rewound..."
Chen Yu was hidden in the darkness, his eyes deep and filled with a hint of cruelty.
"It doesn't make sense... If I consider this as a plot in a novel."
"Obviously, I am the protagonist. But when I was progressing smoothly into the next chapter... I found myself back a month earlier."
"If I'm not the protagonist, then why, after supposedly being reborn, do I retain memories of the previous life while other neighbors don't? Does that make sense?"
"There must be some trick..." Chen Yu could become the warlord of the neighborhood in the previous life not only because he awakened superpowers but also due to his intelligence.
He had been quietly preparing before the apocalypse, building a safe house and stockpiling food without arousing suspicion...
Even his ruthless manipulation of human nature after the apocalypse showed he was a strong individual, albeit cruel.
The strong are strong not only because of their power but also because they think.
At this moment, after continuous contemplation and deduction, Chen Yu reached a conclusion.
"After rebirth, there must be some changes in this community, maybe an item, maybe a person..."
Chen Yu's eyes revealed a cunning and cruel glint, "The most likely possibility is a person who has changed, and this person might pose a threat to me."
"This person's existence might be trying to change the outcome of the previous life..."
"So, who is this person?"
......
Lu Ming woke up in the morning.
After a simple wash-up, he went out.
Out of the neighborhood, the streets were bustling...
Most of the passersby hurried by, striving for their livelihoods.
"How pitiful... These people have no idea the apocalypse is coming and are still full of hope for the future."
Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh, thinking of how he was once the same in the previous life.
As Lu Ming was reminiscing about the past, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.
A tall, slightly gloomy-looking man was not far away...
"Chen Yu!" Seeing Chen Yu, Lu Ming felt a surge of intense emotions!
Thinking of how the other shot him with a submachine gun in the previous life, Lu Ming felt anger, fear, and hatred all at once.
Lu Ming took a deep breath, trying to suppress these emotions.
It's not time yet...
The apocalypse hasn't arrived, and he doesn't have enough confidence to kill Chen Yu!
So, he needed to wait...
At this moment, Chen Yu's gaze also swept over to Lu Ming.
"That guy... the homebody I turned into a sieve with a submachine gun before..."
Chen Yu frowned slightly. For a brief moment, he seemed to sense hostility from Lu Ming.
But as he stared at Lu Ming again, that faint hostility was gone.
Just like that, Lu Ming and Chen Yu passed each other on the street.
Chen Yu hesitated for a moment, then slowly turned his head to look at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming did not look back. Chen Yu's gaze flickered as he watched Lu Ming's retreating figure...
"Was it an illusion? Or..."
After last night's contemplation, Chen Yu decided to stroll around the neighborhood again. He consciously observed every passerby, trying to find something unusual.
But these people seemed no different from before. Only when facing Lu Ming did Chen Yu sense a trace of hostility.
"Is he... the variable..."
Chen Yu wondered whether to eliminate this potential threat?
Or to observe and see.
After all, the apocalypse hasn't arrived yet, and the world still runs by the law. Chen Yu couldn't kill people arbitrarily.
"If this homebody really retains memories of the previous life, he would try to create a safe house to withstand the catastrophe."
"I remember where he lives... If there's construction in his place these days, it means my judgment is correct."
Chen Yu's eyes turned cold, "If so, I'll kill him the moment the apocalypse arrives."
Lu Ming walked a long way before the feeling of being pricked by thorns on his back gradually disappeared.
After awakening superpowers, Lu Ming's senses far exceeded those of ordinary people.
So Lu Ming could feel Chen Yu's gaze just now.
"Such keen senses... But why would Chen Yu notice me now, given it's the eve of the apocalypse?"
Lu Ming recalled the scene just now and fell into deep thought.
"Just now, Chen Yu was constantly observing passersby on the street, as if scrutinizing something..."
"But why?"
A flash of insight hit Lu Ming, "Could it be! Chen Yu also retains memories of the previous life?"
He pondered for a long time and murmured softly, "I can't be sure, but I can't rule it out either."
"To be safe... I need to adjust my plan."
