“Ah!”

Ye Zhongming couldn’t help but cry out the moment the sharp ice cold tentacles of the Lurker pierced through his body,

The place he touched felt wet and there was also the feeling of something spurting out.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A familiar sound of breathing spread into his ears. A pair of huge hips pressed against his neck and it was mixed with the smell of sweat.

Ye Zhongming’s vision started to focus and he saw a face that he was once very familiar with.

Her?

Didn’t she die a long time ago?

Like he wanted to confirm something, Ye Zhongming wanted to get up from this familiar body but she locked him down with her limbs.

“Don’t, don’t go, stay for a while.”

A gentle voice that was still a little unstable could be heard, it was like she was about to lose her senses.

Ye Zhongming stopped his movement. When he looked around, he understood everything.

A cup with a cartoon on it, the electronic clock at night, the lace undergarments on the lamp, the durex that was still in the open packaging and also the familiar sense of touch of the woman in his arms, it brought Ye Zhongming back to something that he had experienced before.

2020, September 10th afternoon.

An hour before that apocalypse occurred.

Wasn’t I on a mission? Then, he was sneak attacked by those damn bugs and when he charged out, the Lurker attacked. Its tentacles from underground pierced through the body. With his past experience, that injury should be fatal.

But now… This memory felt very real, it was as if he had returned back to ten years ago, that beautiful afternoon before that apocalypse had arrived.

Ye Zhongming was trained to be calm so he quickly processed all this. He used just ten seconds and he confirmed that it wasn’t like he was back to ten years ago but he really was back!

He looked at the time. 2020 September 10th, 15:35. It was still an hour and five minutes till that memorable time.

2020 September 10th 14:40, a terrifying thing would occur. After which, the earth would end up in an ice cold apocalypse.

Ye Zhongming was stunned and only had one thought-- Was the heavens taking good care of him was this another punishment?

Ye Zhongming rested on the naked woman’s body and slowly raised his hands. It was white and smooth and the lines on his palm were clear to see. His skin was healthy and this was totally different from ten years later. Ten years later, his hands were left with calluses from holding guns and also wounds from numerous battles.

Rebirth? Ye Zhongming was stunned. Not everyone would think that rebirth was a good thing. Like Ye Zhongming, after ten years of nightmares, to relive it again was tough to say that it was lucky.

To relive those ten years of killing where one couldn’t feel any warmth or hope? Ye Zhongming smiled bitterly. He really didn’t know whether or not he could be resilient again after feeling all that despair.

As for the girl who was still hugging him like an octopus, Ye Zhongming didn’t feel as warm as ten years ago. Instead, he felt repulsed by her. He knew that in the next moment, this girlfriend would ask him to break up.

Bai Sisi, Ye Zhongming’s girlfriend, the person who visited this little house that he rented the most. They had been dating since the second year of university and it was two years already.

To Ye Zhongming who had already lost his parents, this relationship was very important to him. Any normal kind person who was not a player would care about relationships. Moreover, he was dating a beauty like Bai Sisi.

But when someone couldn’t continue with a relationship that was so important to them, they would be hurt even more.

In his last life, Ye Zhongming hated her as he felt like she betrayed him. But in this life, he didn’t hate her. Maybe she was cruel for cheating but he knew that until last night when she agreed to be with that guy, until now, at least on her body, she was still loyal to Ye Zhongming.

“Actually, I thank you for taking care of me these two years. I am a careless person and many times didn’t care about your feelings so I would like to apologise.” Ye Zhongming tried to force himself up from Bai Sisi’s perfect body. He started to quickly think about some things.

For the guy whom she was having sex with suddenly leaving like that, Bai Sisi felt a sense of emptiness. This made her guilt even thicker. She was doing this to make up for her guilt and it did not make her feel any better. But when she heard his words, her eyes opened wide. This was something that surprised her.

“I also want to thank you. Such a good student didn’t go to class and came back to do this with me, it is just to make up for the guilt you feel of leaving. To me, it is no use.”

“Zhongming you…”

Ye Zhongming waved and interrupted her words. He came to the window and looked towards the school field that was not far away. A few energetic guys were playing football and on the balcony was a white shirt girl with a bottle. Looking gently at the guy she loved.

“You said that love might be a part of life that can’t be missing but it wasn’t all to do with life. I agree, I hope you can remember that, now… Maybe everything is good but if things change, this world is filled with danger. When life means nothing, I hope you can give up on love because that love, might… It won’t be as perfect and loyal as you think.”

“What do you mean?” Bai Sisi couldn’t understand this person she had been with for two years. Was he hinting at something?

“If things continue like this, I don’t disagree that Qin Jun is a good guy, maybe he would be a great lover and husband, but he…” Ye Zhongming suddenly didn’t know what to say. Should he tell Bai Sisi that this guy would abandon her in danger and give her away for a few pieces of bread? That he would push her out as bait so that he could get some time to flee? Would she believe him? Things that he had seen during the apocalypse hadn’t happened before so if he said it, he would be treated as a joke.

When Ye Zhongming was deep in thought, Bai Sisi was totally shocked. He knew that Ye Zhongming would find out about Qin Jun and her very soon but after just one night, it felt as if he knew everything. She had kept it a secret. He, did he notice it long ago?

Thinking about that, her face was ashen white like something shameless she had done was found out.

In truth, it was shameless.

“You… You know… You know him?”

Ye Zhongming nodded, “Each night someone placed 99 roses in front of your dorm. On your birthday he used a thousand candles to make a heart. Each day he would send you caring texts, concert tickets, art convention tickets, coffee membership, Oxford University lecture videos. Even as a guy, I have to admit that not only is he handsome and his family is rich, he does everything well. He understands your likes so no wonder you will be touched. As compared to him, I indeed do not understand girls well.”

A loud bell rang from the school and it should be break time. When I turned back, I saw the shocked and even terrified Bai Sisi. Ye Zhongming had a look of glee because that expression was similar to what she looked like the first time he entered her.

“Finally, no matter what you think, I would tell you to be careful of Qin Jun. He is someone you can spend good times with but not bad times. When you face something important to him, he will abandon everything including love. That includes you.”

After saying that, Ye Zhongming tapped the shoulder of the stunned Bai Sisi. The softness on his hand made him recall everything they did and also of their bodies wrapped together. After which, he just disappeared.

You have to give up on things you had to give up. Bai Sisi made her choice so he won’t try to change it like ten years ago. That is because Ye Zhongming didn’t know how long he could live so what rights did he have to care about others? Moreover, apart from his cold personality from those ten years, things might change because of the Butterfly effect too. Maybe Qin Jun might live on well with Bai Sisi.

Ye Zhongming wore his clothes. While talking to her, he accepted many things. Ten years of life had made it easy for him to calm himself down and accept this magical thing. Ye Zhongming made a choice between killing himself to escape and living again. The former was shelved by him.

Since he was living again then he shall live well.

Opening his drawer, there was his credit card. Inside it was the compensation after his parents died in the car accident. This was what they left him using their lives. Ye Zhongming didn’t use any of it after so many years. He believed in earning his own money to live. This money was seen as a memory but things were different now. He knew that if his parents were watching, they would agree that he use the money to live.

“What are you doing?”

Bai Sisi pulled the blanket and blocked her body before looking in terror at Ye Zhongming who was about to leave.

She knew that she loved this guy, but they were about to graduate and a guy without parents who didn’t know what he wanted to do in the future couldn’t give her a bright future. That was why she chose to leave. But this suddenly became something that wasn’t under her control so she couldn’t help but feel unwilling. Maybe to her, even if they broke up, this guy should belong to her. At least for a short time.

After wearing his clothes, Ye Zhongming looked at the time. 15:50, 50 minutes to the apocalypse. After thinking about what he had to do, the time wasn’t enough. He kept silent for a second before doing something that was the most important to him. Facing her questions, he felt a little annoyed.

“Out to do some things. Before I come back, you should leave and find Qin Jun. Since you made your choice then be firm. Hasn’t that always been your personality?” Ye Zhongming frowned and said while walking out. But when he thought about this girl who spent two years with him, he felt a little pity and reminded, “Be quick, his area should be safe. If anything happens, the government would think about saving that place first. At that place, maybe… You can live well.”

After saying that, Ye Zhongming wore his shoes and left, leaving Bai Sisi stunned on the bed.

Ye Zhongming had to do two things, one was to buy medicine and then two was to buy tools to fight with.
