In the middle of the night, suddenly, the sound of a rapid phone ringing startled me, causing me to sit up in bed.

It was a call from Wang Peng.

Now that we had just entered the apocalypse, the internet connection was still working.

I calmed myself down and answered the phone.

"Li Yue, why is your building's entrance locked? Come down and open the door for me."

Listening to this voice, countless feelings of resentment filled my chest, as if I was reliving the pain from my previous life before dying.

I took a deep breath, trying to suppress my emotions, and asked, "Didn't we break up? Why are you here?"

Wang Peng lowered his voice and said, "Those were just angry words. How could you take them seriously?"

"My mom and I have no food left. The supermarket has been emptied. Isn't your best friend a doctor? She should have received the news in advance and stocked up on food, right!"

Since he had seen the door we hid in the hallway, he probably guessed that I had food here. His voice, even when low, was filled with excitement.

"Li Yue, it was my mom's fault before. I asked her to apologize to you. Please open the door and let us come up."

I took my phone and looked down from the window. I found that there weren't many zombies in our hallway. A large group of zombies was concentrated in a corner of the building across from us, as if tearing something apart.

Looking through the telescope, I couldn't see the person's face clearly anymore as the zombies had torn it to shreds. I could vaguely see that he was wearing a smoke-gray short-sleeved shirt, the same shirt I bought and gave to Wang Peng's stepfather.

They were actually using the same method to distract the zombies, just like me in my previous life.

At that moment, I felt like I was looking at myself.

The overwhelming hatred made my whole body tremble uncontrollably. I tightly gripped the phone in my hand but couldn't hear the voice coming from the other end. It felt like my ears were filled with a deafening roar.

I picked up a flower pot from the windowsill and threw it down. The sound of the porcelain breaking attracted the attention of the zombies. They swarmed over, quickly blocking the hallway.

After doing all this, I heard curses coming from the phone. "Open the door, you bitch! Ahhh... the zombies are coming." It was Wang Peng's mother's voice, piercing and anguished.

"Li Yue, you bitch, just wait. I'll feed you to the zombies."

I laughed in anger, "I'm afraid it's you who will be fed to the zombies first."

After saying that, I hung up the phone and prepared to go back to my room.

But when I turned around, my best friend and Xing Feng were standing in the living room, looking at me.

The atmosphere became heavy for a moment.

I fell silent for a moment and asked my best friend, "Do you think I'm too cruel and frightening?"

After looking at me for a while, my best friend shook her head.

"I know what kind of person you are, and I don't find you scary."

She walked up to me and hugged me.

"Something must have happened for you to treat them like this. Can you tell me?"

Looking at the trusting eyes of my best friend and Xing Feng, my heartbeat slowly calmed down, and the agonizing pain that felt like it was tearing me apart finally subsided.

I told them about my rebirth.
