This house was bought when my best friend was heartbroken, and I accompanied her to relax.

At that time, I saw her feeling down, unable to muster the energy to go shopping.

Coincidentally, a newly opened real estate development was distributing flyers.

I suddenly had an idea.

"Why don't we buy a house! Let's buy it together so that we can stay together even when we grow old, okay?"

My best friend was taken aback. Obviously, my proposal was very tempting to her.

After all, houses are more reliable than men.

So, the two of us readily agreed and paid the down payment on the spot. Because my best friend is a doctor and needs to work night shifts, fearing that she would be disturbed during the day, we chose two top-floor apartments.

However, this house also became a thorn in the side for Wang Peng and his mother. They insisted that I sell the house and use the money to renovate the property under Wang Peng's name.

Naturally, I didn't agree.

Originally, ever since Wang Peng passed the civil service exam, their entire family's attitude towards me made a 180-degree turn. Adding to that, after buying this house, our relationship reached freezing point.

Wang Peng even said, "If you don't sell the house, we'll break up!"

Then he kicked me out of the house we rented together.

As soon as my best friend found out, she immediately took me in at her place.

Thinking about this, I immediately dialed my best friend's phone number.

The phone rang for a long time before she answered, and her voice was loud, "Do you know that I've been in the emergency room lately?"

I asked her, "Has your hospital received any patients with symptoms similar to rabies recently?"

My best friend hesitated for a moment and said, "We just admitted one, how did you know?"

"That's not rabies; it's a zombie virus. People bitten by it will soon turn into zombies, and there's no cure."

"Zombies? Are you kidding?"

"Yes, believe me. I received insider information. Hurry and take a flight back to your hometown."

My best friend fell silent for a few seconds and said, "Okay, I believe you."

"But my brother just came from our hometown today, and he's probably still on the plane."

"Go to the airport and wait for him. As soon as he lands, both of you should take a flight back home immediately."

My best friend inquired, "What about you? Come with us!"

My best friend's hometown is in the northwest, and she still has her parents there. As for me, my parents passed away a long time ago, and I have no attachments. My college tuition was sponsored by my best friend's parents, and although I paid them back as soon as I started earning money, deep down, I still regard them as my own family.

"I'll stay here for something else."

I won't leave; I want to settle the score from my past life.

After hanging up the phone,

I calculated the money I currently have at my disposal.

Over the years, my savings, combined with the tens of thousands of yuan I received as compensation when I was laid off by the company some time ago, add up to 160,000 yuan.

This money is far from enough, but I can at least buy some essential supplies.

The residential area where we live is a newly developed one, and the surrounding facilities have not yet been fully completed. The nearest large supermarket is five kilometers away from the residential area.
