#1 - Chapter 1 Dead and Alive Again
A certain multiverse.
Blue Star.
Hua Country.
Guangnan Province.
Shen City.
Around 7:00 AM.
A certain urban village.
In an inconspicuous five-story rental building.
Suddenly.
In a single room on the 5th floor.
A man suddenly sat up in bed!
After sitting up, he quickly lowered his body.
His eyes filled with deep vigilance, carefully examining the surrounding environment.
As if guarding against something.
Gradually.
He seemed to notice something was wrong.
The vigilance in his eyes slowly turned into surprise and disbelief!
The lights are on here!
Qin Jin.
This man's name.
With an unbelievable look.
He slowly opened his mouth wide, widened his eyes, and muttered to himself: "Where is this? How is this possible! ?"
"Wasn't I blocked by the 'Rammer' and about to be killed! ?"
"How could I appear in this place! ? Did someone save me! ? How is that possible! ?"
Looking at the slightly yellowed and old table and walls in the room, with traces of time left due to the passage of time.
But the environment is not considered dirty or messy.
The lights are on, and the laptop on the table is turned on and has entered screen saver mode!
"Impossible! !"
Qin Jin whispered.
Looking at the lights and the turned-on computer that he hadn't seen for many years.
How many survivors in the apocalypse have such luxurious conditions?
And can still use such high-end electrical appliances?
Countless thoughts flashed through Qin Jin's mind in an instant.
But he couldn't think of any answers.
Five seconds later.
As a "senior" who has survived in the apocalypse for many years.
He knows that in an unfamiliar environment, it is best to first find out whether the surrounding situation is safe.
Otherwise, it would be ridiculous to be unaware of the danger.
Gently get up.
Try not to make a sound.
Looking at the increasingly familiar scene in front of him, the scenes that he had recalled countless times in his consciousness slowly overlapped.
The surprise in his eyes has become stronger and stronger!
"Hiss~!? Could it be a dream! ?"
"Impossible! I'm very awake now! And my body now! ?"
"Why are the injuries gone! ??"
Qin Jin has confirmed that the door is closed tightly, and there seems to be nothing in the room that can hurt him.
He touched the window of the room, carefully leaning against the wall.
By the window, he used the corner of his eye to look at the situation outside the window—
The breakfast shop downstairs selling rice noodle rolls, several small tables are occupied by many people eating freshly steamed breakfast.
Next to them, several men and women riding electric bicycles are passing by in a hurry.
Behind them, a woman is holding a child's hand.
Looking at the school uniform on the child, she should be taking the child to school.
Qin Jin, hiding behind the wall by the window.
His body has begun to tremble slightly.
His mind is like a bomb being stuffed into it and ignited! !!
WTF! ??
What the hell is going on! ?
These survivors! ?
How can they be so relaxed and active outside! ?
He was numb for nearly half a minute.
Qin Jin finally seemed to remember something.
Like a person lost in the desert for many days, about to die of thirst, seeing an oasis appear in front of him, with a clear lake in the middle.
He is afraid that this is a mirage!
Holding a billion points of expectation.
He moved his body to the computer on the table next to him.
He touched the touch pad in the middle of the notebook a little clumsily.
Disable the screen saver.
Look at the small date number in the lower right corner.
2020/4/10
Qin Jin's mind was shocked again!
And quickly realized something—
Immediately ran into the toilet in his memory—
Looking at himself much younger in the mirror.
He finally confirmed!
I TM have been reborn and returned to half a year before the outbreak of the apocalypse!
——————
Sitting back in front of the computer.
It took several minutes to digest this conclusion.
"Reborn!"
"I don't have to stay in that hellish place in the apocalypse anymore!"
Qin Jin waved his hand excitedly.
But he seemed to remember something immediately.
He opened the notebook computer with unfamiliar movements, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar interface and the icons of software files, browsing various news on the web page.
A few minutes later, he slumped back in his chair again, looking at the ceiling.
"I didn't travel to another world or parallel plane, I just went back to the past, and there is a high probability that I will experience the apocalypse again in half a year!"
Fortunately, Qin Jin himself has a strong ability to withstand psychological pressure.
He quickly accepted this fact.
After all, compared to the hellish apocalypse before, it is a big profit for him to come back for half a year.
And maybe he can prepare something in advance.
After the apocalypse comes, let himself and his family live more comfortably.
Thinking of this.
He hurriedly looked for his mobile phone in the room, an electronic product that he had almost forgotten.
Finally found it on the bedside.
After unlocking with his fingerprint, he turned to the address book.
Dialed the mobile phone number written as "Dad" directly.
Beep beep beep—
It rang three times and then the call was connected.
—————————
More than ten minutes later.
Qin Jin hung up the phone with slightly red eyes.
Early in the morning, Qin's father and Qin's mother were having breakfast at their home at the other end of Shen City. They were wondering why their son called so early. After some family chat, they hung up.
After chatting with his parents whom he hadn't seen for "many years" and releasing some of the longing in his heart.
Qin Jin started to return to the table.
Using the mobile phone APP clumsily, he placed an order for two servings of braised pork knuckle rice.
Then he found paper and pen.
He closed his eyes and brainstormed.
At this time, he had just quit his job and hadn't found a new job yet.
There is no need to ask for leave or resign, it is directly free time.
After a while.
Qin Jin started writing on the paper.
Apocalypse.
Survival.
Zombies, monsters, enemies, natural disasters.
If you want to live relatively comfortably with your family in the apocalypse, you need the following three conditions—
1: Food, weapons.
2: Safe shelter
3: People (partners, relatives)
Then the three major conditions must be subdivided into various branches.
In a short while, the paper was filled with information.
Including the names of countless items.
"Hu—"
Qin Jin took a deep breath heavily.
Constantly thinking about various details.
Recalling what that hell needed and what it lacked.
The zombie virus will break out in the apocalypse in half a year, starting from the moment that night was called the Night of Mutation.
Later, the surviving humans made statistics that were not accurate but should not be far off.
At least 95% of humans turned into monsters that frantically tear people apart that night.
They are fearless of pain.
Only by cutting off their heads or smashing their brains can they be stopped.
Humans instantly lost their rule over Blue Star.
Official organizations of various countries disappeared.
The remaining humans formed groups of all sizes to fight against natural disasters and zombie hordes for survival.
If it were just ghouls walking like snails in ordinary zombie movies and TV series, it wouldn't be so difficult to survive.
The problem is that the mutation outbreak is global, instantaneous, and indefensible.
No matter how deep the underground air raid shelter is, it is useless.
An unknown mist emerged from the global surface, and most people directly mutated into zombies.
They run like mad dogs.
Zombie hordes stack up to dozens of meters high.
In the later stages, zombies and some creatures will also evolve and mutate.
Various strange monsters appeared, fleas, bombers, long-tongued monsters, rammers, tanks, two-headed dogs, meat wyverns, etc.
Although some of the remaining survivors were lucky enough to evolve.
But the strongest are just running faster, stronger than ordinary people, better hearing, better sense of smell, and better eyesight.
Compared to those monsters, they can only be said to be ordinary.
They are not even considered superpowers.
At least Qin Jin has been in the apocalypse for five or six years, and he has never heard of any evolvers who can be called a superman.
It is still a big gap from the US captain in the movie.
Therefore, the mainstream of fighting zombies and monsters still relies on thermal weapons.
Unfortunately, that was an era of collapsed social order and industrial stagnation.
Thermal weapons can be said to be one less for each use, and the living space of surviving humans is compressed step by step.
Qin Jin was last in the apocalypse.
It was when he was teamed up with others to find food that he encountered a monster called the Rammer.
Although he struggled hard in the end.
But in the end, he was blocked by the Rammer and "suspected" to have been killed in a corridor.
Then he also "suspected" to have died and traveled through time.
Oh, by the way.
Qin Jin's luck was also good in his previous life.
He is a one-in-a-hundred evolver.
The evolved part is the legs.
After years of training, running like a gust of wind, he has measured that he can run 100 meters in 7 seconds at the fastest.
His endurance is also stronger than that of ordinary people.
Few people can compare with Qin Jin in terms of running away.
This is also one of the reasons why he can live so long in the apocalypse.
In peaceful times, this result is enough to win the world championship and even break the record N streets.
But in the apocalypse, he can only survive.
Even so.
Qin Jin is considered a good survivor.
He is quite famous in the survivor circle.
Others often ask him to cooperate and use his ability to run fast to obtain some supplies and food.
Qin Jin read the contents on the paper again, and he roughly had a framework in his mind.
This half a year is not long or short.
But it is also enough to arrange things so that he has some self-protection power after the apocalypse comes.
In the end, the most important thing in the apocalypse is food!
No one wants to experience that extreme hunger again.
I wish I could gnaw myself alive, a hunger that penetrates into the bones and soul.
Now that he has been reborn, hoarding food is an inevitable option.
Then we must have a strong force sufficient to guard these food, that is, force.
Otherwise, no matter how much food you have, it is just a backup granary for the strong.
You hoard grain and I hoard guns, and your house is my granary.
It's not just talk.
There have been countless examples in front of me.
In a world where order is completely broken, never challenge the bottom line of human beings.
Especially those who have experienced hunger.
And those few names hidden deep in his heart.
If he has the opportunity, he will definitely make these people pay the price!
——————————
Received the two servings of braised pork knuckle rice that were just delivered to the door.
Although it is still morning.
But this classic takeaway style that always exists in this harmonious society does not lack suppliers.
Smelling the long-lost aroma, the steaming rice, the fatty but not greasy pork, and the green and verdant vegetables.
This kind of bento that is often ridiculed by workers who can never finish eating.
But it is a dream that Qin Jin has wanted for many years.
Almost with a pious heart, he ate the entire two servings of takeaway one bite at a time.
Not a grain of rice was wasted, and even the vegetable juice and oil were licked to the point where the merchant was ashamed before reluctantly putting it down.
Qin Jin touched his full belly.
He burped contentedly.
This scene that I had imagined countless times in my previous life has really come true.
When he was bored, he had imagined countless times that he could return to before the apocalypse and eat two servings of greasy braised pork knuckle rice.
Only those who have really been hungry know that when they are extremely hungry, most people will not think of delicacies, abalone, ginseng and shark's fin, but only the simplest and most ordinary food.
Really.
Most of the time in the apocalypse is empty and boring.
Only by keeping the whole body still and retaining basic thinking is the most economical and practical activity method. No one is willing to waste the energy converted from the small amount of food in the body.
Qin Jin has more than once recalled some of the silly operations he had seen before, which were also about traveling back in time in the apocalypse theme.
He actually threw the hot takeaway directly into the trash can, and had to pour a bowl of food out when he went out to eat.
Is this the virtue of a survivor with many years of survival experience in the apocalypse?
Don't be in the same time and space as him, Qin Jin will definitely beat this kind of person to shit.
Pity.
Qin Jin's time travel and rebirth does not seem to have any golden fingers. He has confirmed many times that his body has not awakened any super powers, infinite space, storage rings and other super awesome cheats.
Otherwise, the operability would be much stronger.
Throw this little regret into the corner of his heart, it is already God's blessing to be able to come back to experience normal life and give him half a year to prepare in advance.
Why ask for more.
The key is to live the next half year well.
Coming back to his senses.
Qin Jin counted all the cash on him—88529.3 yuan.
This number is not bad for other peers.
But it is not enough to complete the various ideas in my mind.
Fortunately, when I was struggling in the past, I had no other entertainment activities, and the cheapest pleasure was all kinds of fantasies.
Now that I am reborn, am I still afraid of not being able to make money?
Needless to say.
The money-making plan starts immediately!
