Reborn zombie boyfriend don't chase me

"Flu outbreaks are on the rise recently. Please take personal precautions, avoid going to public places, refrain from unnecessary gatherings, wear masks when going out, and keep warm..." "Experts predict that the peak period of flu infections has arrived. Many schools, including universities, have suspended classes..." As the striking headlines popped up on her tablet screen, Xia Zhihan shuddered, staring incredulously at everything in front of her. The tidy living room, light blue floral wallpaper, brown bookshelf, marble dining table, and warm sunlight streaming through the white curtains into the room... Every scene, every object, felt so familiar. This was her home... Her home before the apocalypse... Xia Zhihan's heart pounded wildly as she nervously glanced at the time displayed on the tablet... September 27, 2025! Three days before the apocalypse! She vividly remembered that on October 1, overnight, countless people were infected with a virus, turning into mindless, bloodthirsty, and ferocious living dead! The climate underwent drastic changes, natural disasters became frequent, countless plants and animals perished or mutated, and Earth's ecosystem completely collapsed. Torrential rain poured for ten consecutive days. After ten days, the rain finally stopped. Humanity underwent mutations too. Some awakened superpowers, some became zombies, and others, who remained unchanged, were derisively called "wastes." And she was one of those "wastes"! She couldn’t carry anything heavy or handle any real labor. Faced with hordes of zombies, she could only rely on her boyfriend, who had awakened fire abilities. They finally managed to reach the Lincheng Base in S City. But her boyfriend had sold her without hesitation and turned to be with her best friend! Her best friend, Lin Jingyi, had a spatial ring, a treasure highly sought after in the apocalypse! That ring was a gift from her grandmother on her deathbed. The silver ring, inlaid with a pea-sized green jade, was clearly something an elderly lady would wear. Though it was a family heirloom, she had despised it and thrown it into her jewelry box! On October 1, her birthday, Lin Jingyi had noticed the ring by chance and begged her to let her wear it... She hadn’t thought much of it at the time and handed it over casually. Looking back now, the love and care from family were always the most genuine. Her grandmother, even on her deathbed, didn’t want to take that small ring with her, determined to leave something behind for her. But she hadn’t cherished it. Thinking of this, Xia Zhihan suddenly stood up and dashed toward the bedroom upstairs! Holding that small ring in her hand, Xia Zhihan’s heart was a whirlwind of emotions... This time, she was determined to rise from the ashes, to do everything in her power to protect her brother and ensure he lived well! At the thought of her brother, her body instinctively trembled, a sharp pain washing over her—a memory of being gnawed alive by zombies. In the two months she spent at the Lincheng base, she had been trapped in a living hell. As a powerless “waste,” she had no choice but to sell her body in exchange for food. The saddest part was that even in such a wretched state, the food she managed to acquire was often snatched away by that scumbag and Lin Jingyi. Until one day, a man accidentally discovered her… He was a member of her brother’s ability team and told her that her brother had been looking for her all along! But before her brother could reach her, Lin Jingyi and that scumbag, fearing that her brother would find out the despicable things they had done to her, mercilessly pushed her into a horde of zombies... The pain of being devoured, the bitterness of resentment—these feelings were etched into her very bones. Xia Zhihan clenched her fists tightly. “Ding, ding, ding!” Just then, her phone on the bedside table beeped twice. She picked it up and saw a message from that scumbag: “Baby, have you eaten yet? Only three days until your birthday! I’ve prepared a surprise for you!” Xia Zhihan sneered, her eyes cold. That so-called “surprise” was just him bringing a bunch of his loser friends over to her house with a cake, staying the entire night. Looking back now, she felt nothing but disgust and loathing. How could she have been so stupid back then to think this man loved her? She even argued and fought with her brother because of him! Xia Zhihan quickly typed a reply: “Yang Feng, let’s break up.” Then, without hesitation, she blocked Yang Feng on WeChat, blocked his phone number, and deleted all traces of their relationship. After doing all this, she felt a weight lifted off her shoulders and collapsed onto the bed with relief. She never wanted to see that scumbag again in this lifetime! Taking a deep breath, Xia Zhihan suddenly sat up, grabbed her phone, and dialed her brother’s number. But the line was off. It was the same in her previous life—her brother’s phone was always off. It wasn’t until her birthday that he finally called, saying he was stuck at Yangcheng Airport and probably couldn’t make it back to celebrate with her. She had brushed him off and hung up the call. There were still three days left. This time, she planned to go to Yangcheng to find her brother because he was the only family she had in this world! But before that, there was so much to prepare. In the apocalypse, money was useless. Only sufficient supplies could ensure survival. With this thought, Xia Zhihan grabbed her house deed, ID card, bank card, and all the valuable jewelry at home before heading out. The house was a gift from her brother for her 18th birthday. By the afternoon, her bank card balance had increased by 3 million yuan—she had mortgaged the house, maxed out all her credit cards, and even taken out online loans. Excitedly, she headed to the largest supermarket. Instant noodles, self-heating hot pots, flour, rice, pork, beef... She spared no expense on food, loading her shopping cart to the brim. Only then did she realize she didn’t yet have a storage space. Where could she keep all these supplies? The thought made her a bit disheartened. It seemed she first needed to create a safe house to survive the ten days of torrential rain. But she couldn’t take these things with her just yet because her priority was finding her brother! Holding a pack of instant noodles in her hand, Xia Zhihan murmured regretfully, “If only I could store this in a space…” Just then, a mechanical voice echoed in her mind: “Ding—Space activated successfully!” “Space Manager, Xiaobei, at your service. Your current space is one cubic meter. The next upgrade is ten cubic meters.” “Upgrade condition: Store items worth over 1,000 yuan!” “Detected: A pack of instant noodles worth 2.5 yuan…” In her mind, a one-cubic-meter space appeared, roughly the size of a street trash can. That lone pack of instant noodles lay quietly inside. Xia Zhihan froze for a moment before her face lit up with joy! The space was here! She had activated the space, and it could even be upgraded—this was incredible! She also finally understood why Lin Jingyi, despite having a space, still fought for her food. In the apocalyptic world where resources were scarce, gathering supplies worth 1,000 yuan was unimaginably difficult. But now, things were different! Just the items in her shopping cart exceeded 1,000 yuan! Xia Zhihan tried silently calling for the instant noodles, and they instantly returned to her hand from the space. It worked exactly as she had hoped! Elated, Xia Zhihan wanted to stuff everything into the space. But this was a supermarket with surveillance cameras and crowds. She had to act low-key.
