Chapter 1 Rebirth 100 Days Before the End of the World

April 20, 5X4

The fifth year of the end of the world

It hurts, it really hurts...

Li Luo had never felt such pain in her life. At this moment, her body was being torn apart and eaten by a group of hideous zombies.

“So this is how my mother felt at that time…”

Li Luo's heart was filled with waves of pain, and the pain gradually made her numb.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Uncle Tang... No! Dad... I still failed to live up to your expectations. I'm sorry..."

He slowly closed his eyes, and a crystal clear tear slid down from the corner of Li Luo's eye.

Her gnawed and shattered face showed a sad expression, which looked extremely scary.

If there is an afterlife, she will definitely not live in such a selfish and cowardly way again. She thought so and then completely lost her last consciousness...

Not far away, the Jinling Base in City N

There were several figures standing on the city wall, and the one leading them was Mu Yan, who was clinging to the wall and looking down.

She widened her eyes, looked in the direction where Li Luo jumped, and then shouted angrily with a look of unwillingness on her face:

"What a pity! We were so close to catching her, and we could have exchanged her for 8 red crystals."

Then, in order to express her dissatisfaction, she said disdainfully:

"You've been a burden for so long, and you'd rather die than contribute anything. You're such a selfish jerk!"

Yes, Mu Yan was right. Li Luo was indeed a complete burden, a waste, and a selfish person...

The end of the world comes suddenly, and the world is in chaos. Zombies, mutated plants, and mutated animals are running all over the place, and all kinds of natural disasters follow one after another.

If it weren't for the protection of his mother Li Qing, who had awakened water-related abilities, and his stepfather Tang Mingcheng, who had awakened lightning-related abilities, Li Luo would not have survived until now.

Facts have also proved that without Li Qing and Tang Mingcheng, Li Luo lost his life in less than half a year, and died at the hands of his teammates who he had been with day and night for three years.

From the moment she met Li Luo, Mu Yan began to be jealous of Li Luo. She was jealous of her bright eyes and white teeth, and she was jealous of her family who loved her.

It is obvious that Mu Yan is the one who has always contributed to the team.

Li Luo could only do things that ordinary people could do. Not only was her ability useless, but she was also like a money-eating beast. She consumed a large amount of the team's crystal cores but failed to make any difference.

But Tang Mingcheng and Li Qing still treated her like a treasure, holding her in their hands and giving her the best things.

Gradually, Mu Yan's mentality became more and more distorted until the death of her two elders.

Deep down, she always hoped that she was their daughter.

This waste Li Luo is a jinx and doesn't deserve to be loved!

Because of Li Luo's stupidity, in the fourth year of the apocalypse, Li Qing lost her life to save her. Less than a year later, Tang Mingcheng also followed in Li Qing's footsteps and died after her.

So in Mu Yan's heart, Li Luo doesn't deserve their love at all!

Half a year after the deaths of Li Qing and Tang Mingcheng, Mu Yan secretly wanted to sell Li Luo to an underground organization outside the base that specialized in human trafficking without telling her other two teammates.

Unfortunately, I failed to catch her, so she ran to the wall of the base and jumped down from it...

By the way, are the other two teammates, Wu Junzhe and Qi Hui, really kept in the dark by Mu Yan?

Not necessarily...

Wu Junzhe and Qi Hui, because they had both been protected by Li Luo's family before.

Therefore, after the death of the two elders, the team continued to live with Li Luo for another half a year.

Although they brought Li Luo with them, they only provided him with shelter.

What's funny is that this residence was originally purchased by Li Qing and Tang Mingcheng at a huge cost.

As for the supplies needed for survival, Li Luo still needs to find them by himself.

In fact, if life continues like this, Li Luo will become stronger sooner or later.

Unfortunately, their team's strength was greatly reduced after losing Li Qing and Tang Mingcheng.

Although, Li Luo also tried hard to do what she could for their team.

For example, go to the base to take on some tasks that ordinary survivors can complete, or be responsible for the team's logistics work.

But no matter how much she does, it is not as useful as being strong.

Over time, Wu Junzhe and Qi Hui began to feel resentful.

They completely forgot that it was Li Luo who insisted that Li Qing and Tang Mingcheng take them in.

The two of them actually knew about Mu Yan's plan a long time ago, but they did not intend to stop her. Instead, they pretended to be unaware and let the situation develop.

Li Luo knew all of this before he died.

She hated their ruthlessness, but she hated herself even more...

Hate your own ignorance, hate your own weakness, hate your own incompetence!

She was deeply immersed in this ocean of regret...

“Ding~~~~~~Ding~~~~~~”

The deadly ringtone of the fruit phone alarm rang.

Li Luo woke up suddenly, sat up with a somersault, his body soaked with sweat and his eyes slightly confused.

Looking around, a familiar yet unfamiliar scene appeared before my eyes.

The room is clean and tidy, with sunlight shining into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Is this the apartment I lived in before the end of the world?

Brainstorming...

The alarm clock was still ringing wildly. Li Luo picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and, relying on his memory, turned off the soul-stirring ringtone.

I looked down at the time on my phone - April 20, 0X4.

Li Luo pinched his thigh hard and tears came out of his eyes due to the pain.

"Not a dream?"

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes due to pain, Li Luo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"April Fool's Day? Am I reborn? Reborn on April Fool's Day?"

As a veteran homebody and avid novel fan before the apocalypse, Li Luo can be 90% sure that she has been reborn.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Luo, who had accepted the fact of his rebirth, slowly recovered.

Then, he burst into tears, covered himself with the quilt, and cried inconsolably.

"Mom and Dad are so good, so good! You are both still here! So good... woo... woo..."

The "dad" that Li Luo called was Tang Mingcheng, who was not Li Luo's biological father.

Li Luo's biological father, Ji Hongmao, abandoned her and her daughter before she was born, and ran away with his mistress.

Li Qing raised Li Luo alone, and the bitterness of it all is self-evident...

Li Qing is a very capable woman, and the sudden change did not defeat her.

After she gave birth to a child alone, she began to feed the baby and support the family at the same time.

She did not return to her parents' home. In that era, if a woman returned to her hometown with her children, her family would look down on her.

Li Qing was a proud woman. She didn't want her family to be talked about behind their backs because of her, so she took it all on herself.

Li Qing is a kind woman. She has never mentioned the mistakes made by Ji Hongmao in front of her daughter.

She didn't want her daughter to feel abandoned.

Just tell Li Luo that her father couldn't be with them due to special reasons.

Little Li Luo accepted this fact silently.

She has been a well-behaved person since she was young because she realized at a very young age that her home is different from other people's homes.

She only has a mother and has never seen a father. Her father only exists in her mother's mouth and in her own fantasy.

Perhaps because of this, Li Luo has always had an imaginary father in her heart.

Tang Mingcheng entered the world of Li Luo and her daughter when she was 5 years old.

He was deeply attracted to Li Qing. Her strength, her kindness, her pride, her grievances...

Tang Mingcheng saw it all and took it to heart.

He knew that if he asked to be together directly, Li Qing would definitely refuse.

So, he stayed with her until Li Qing untied her knot and let go of her troubles and obsessions.

This companionship lasted until the year Li Luo graduated from university.

Now that her daughter has grown up, Li Qing can finally take care of her own feelings.

So, on May 20, 0X5, Tang Mingcheng married Li Qing as he wished.

Li Luo was also happy for her mother, but since childhood, the position of father in her heart has always been reserved for her biological father Ji Hongmao.

Therefore, Li Luo always called Tang Mingcheng Uncle Tang, but Tang Mingcheng didn't care about the address.

Although he longed for Li Luo's approval in his heart, he did not want to force the child and treated Li Luo as his own.

Since she was five years old, Tang Mingcheng has silently assumed the role of father.

However, the so-called biological father wanted to use Li Luo's life to exchange for the life of his daughter with his mistress Chen Yaqin, who was also Li Luo's half-sister, Ji Wanrou.

In the third year of the apocalypse, Ji Hongmao, who had disappeared for 25 years, found Li Luo.

The apparent purpose was to reunite and take Li Luo to see her sister, but in reality it was because she needed Li Luo's heart to save Ji Wanrou.

Li Luo, who didn't know the truth, just foolishly followed Ji Hongmao to the neighboring city D.

Maybe he had always longed for fatherly love, or maybe he wanted to see his half-sister whom he had never met.

Li Luo completely forgot about the evil nature of people’s hearts in the last days!

Li Luo actually believed such a poor excuse. In his previous life, Li Luo was indeed a damn fool.

When Li Qing learned about this, he went there immediately.

Because she was in a hurry, she did not travel with Tang Mingcheng and went alone.

Ji Hongmao set up an ambush on the road and deliberately attracted a small wave of zombies.

In this way, Li Qing was trapped by the tide of zombies and died, and not even a trace of his body was left.

Before dying, Li Qing used the intercom to beg Tang Mingcheng to save Li Luo.

At that moment, Tang Mingcheng's heart died along with Li Qing.

From now on, the meaning of his survival is Li Luo and to avenge Li Qing!

Tang Mingcheng went through great pains to save Li Luo before the heart transplant surgery.

Li Luo also saw the true ugly faces of her biological father's family, but since they were on someone else's territory, she had to leave in shame with Tang Mingcheng.

After returning, Li Luo learned about Li Qing's situation. Li Luo, who was not a talkative person to begin with, now completely shut himself off.

After that, Tang Mingcheng never stopped for a moment. While becoming stronger, he was also making plans for Li Luo's future.

He wanted to avenge Li Qing and kill the man who had brought endless harm to Li Qing and her daughter.

Revenge was taken. Tang Mingcheng went alone and came back with only his last breath left, just to take one last look at Li Luo.

It’s a pity that he never got to hear Li Luo call him “Dad” until his death.

The events of his previous life kept replaying in Li Luo's mind like a kaleidoscope.

A deep regret appeared in her eyes, followed by endless hatred.

"Ji Hongmao, I will definitely settle this account with you."

There was a gleam of cruelty in Li Luo's eyes, and he secretly swore in his heart.

As for the remaining few people, Li Luo also took note of them one by one in his mind.

Now that she has the chance to start over, she must change the fate of her family.
