Reborn in this life, I finally avenged myself from my past life.

In the previous life, I died early in the mouths of zombies. I didn't know when this virus would end.

But I believe that the day of light will eventually come.

In this world now, there's nothing for me to cling to. I took out the wooden plaque around my neck, preparing to hide in the spatial realm of the plaque for a while.

Suddenly, a noisy sound of footsteps came from outside the elevator entrance. "Thump!" Something seemed to have fallen at the doorway.

"Is anyone there? Save me! There are zombies chasing me!"

In the surveillance footage, there was a girl lying on the ground, desperately knocking on my door. She seemed to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, innocent and lovely.

She wore a white spaghetti strap dress, with fair and tender skin exposed. It was delicate and could be broken with a gentle touch. Her long hair scattered, and her fair cheeks turned rosy due to running, making her look incredibly charming.

"Is there anyone who can save me? The zombies are about to catch up! I don't want to die!" She pleaded with a sob, and crystal-clear tears fell from her eyes.

The stiff footsteps and low howls of the zombies could already be heard in the stairwell.

My heart softened. Should I save her or not?

If I saved her, what if she repaid me with enmity?

If I didn't save her, such a young girl would die in the mouths of zombies!

Human nature is inherently good. The lives of Zhao Yue and Li Chi are debts they owe me, but now there is a living person in front of my door.

A group of zombies with purplish-blue faces and rotting flesh appeared in the surveillance footage.

"Ah..." She despaired and cried.

In the critical moment, I pulled her into the house, and just then, a pale, rotten hand reached in and got stuck in the door crack. The door couldn't be closed no matter what.

Through the crack, I saw the decayed face that threatened me that day—it was the supermarket manager.

"It's him!"

I decisively grabbed a machete from the shoe rack and cut off that hand with a heavy "thud," slamming the door shut.

"Wuwuwu..." The girl sobbed in my arms.

"It's okay, the zombies are gone." I patted her back, comforting her.

She slowly lifted her head from my embrace, her big round eyes vigilantly surveying her surroundings. After seeing the severed hand on the ground, she let out another "Ah" and hid in my arms.

From this angle, I happened to catch a glimpse of the waves beneath her spaghetti strap dress, and my nose instantly started bleeding.

I forcefully suppressed the heat in my lower abdomen and kicked the severed hand of the zombie away. "It's safe here. Don't worry," I reassured her.

Only then did she come out from my embrace, her innocent eyes blinking. "Thank you for saving me, big brother."

"It's nothing," I replied.

"Are you hungry? Nobody has been giving us food lately. This is the food I just managed to find. Have it." She slowly took out a bucket of instant noodles from her embrace, holding it tightly.

Her eyes were fixed on the noodles, and she swallowed her saliva.

A warmth surged in my heart. Zhao Yue deceived Li Chi for a bag of compressed biscuits, but this innocent girl risked her life to bring me the instant noodles she found.

I smiled and looked at her with a bit more fondness. "You're so hungry yourself, yet you give your food to me."

I guided her to sit on the couch and learned that her name was Qingqing. She also lived in this residential area. She came out to find food but was targeted by the zombies. I took out some food for her as well, watching her devour it greedily.
