Ye Xihe lay on the bed.
She looked calm, but in truth, she had already been gone for quite a while.
Yes, she liked reading novels, and she had fantasized about being Transmigrated.
But she absolutely did not want to transmigrate into an Apocalypse novel!!!
Ye Xihe was on the verge of losing her mind, shedding two streams of broad noodle tears in her heart.
She couldn’t carry heavy things, couldn’t fight, her combat power was zero, and she was frail and sickly.
With her physique, if she entered the Apocalypse, she probably wouldn’t even be able to catch people after turning into a zombie.
She wouldn’t even be able to fight for a fresh bite of crap.
Still, she only lay in bed feeling dejected for a short while, because she could hear the Zombies downstairs continuously howling.
Outside the window, the world was shrouded in a gray haze like thick fog, and visibility was extremely poor.
Ye Xihe climbed out of bed and looked around, trying to find some clues about where she was.
After searching around the bedside, she found a diary.
On the first page was written:【Ye Huizhou is a big idiot!】
Ye Xihe’s mind exploded with a bang.
Ye Huizhou?!
Wasn’t Ye Huizhou the male lead from the novel she had read?
Apocalypse Dawn: Judgment of Thunder was a male-oriented novel centered around a powerful protagonist. According to the synopsis, the male lead, Ye Huizhou, would lead his team through the Apocalypse, fighting monsters and growing stronger before ultimately ending the catastrophe and becoming humanity’s guardian.
As for why it was only according to the synopsis, that was because the author had abandoned the story. It stopped right at the point where Ye Huizhou’s younger sister died.
And that younger sister’s name was Ye Xihe.
Because the character shared her exact name, even though she had known long ago that the novel had been dropped, Ye Xihe still sought it out and read it from beginning to end.
Although Apocalypse Dawn was a male-oriented novel, it actually wasn’t very satisfying to read. The protagonist, Ye Huizhou, had endured countless hardships since childhood.
When he was thirteen, his father died in a plane crash. Soon afterward, his mother disappeared, and his younger sister Ye Xihe was only five years old at the time.
Without parents, their relatives swarmed in like leeches and divided up the family’s assets.
Relying on government assistance while working and studying at the same time, Ye Huizhou raised his younger sister. The siblings depended on each other for survival. Though they had little money, he always gave Ye Xihe the very best. Raised like a treasure in the palm of his hand, she was practically the entirety of young Ye Huizhou’s emotional support.
Ye Huizhou was naturally a cold and stern man, but he was different from his Little Sister. All his tenderness was reserved for her.
Later, he joined a special forces unit. Afraid she wouldn’t have enough money to live on, he sent her his entire salary every month. After retiring, he started a company with excellent prospects.
Life was finally getting better.
Then, without warning, the world welcomed the Apocalypse.
On the first day of the Apocalypse, Ye Huizhou was on a business trip in a neighboring city. After a strange fog appeared, countless people transformed into Zombies.
No one had expected the Apocalypse to truly arrive, and the order of the world collapsed overnight.
After narrowly escaping death several times, Ye Huizhou awakened a lightning ability. By the time he finally managed to return home, Ye Xihe had already been missing for many days.
He traveled between various shelters and strongholds searching for clues about his sister. During that time, he met many people and formed his own team. Growing alongside them, the lone wolf-like Ye Huizhou gradually gained warmth and humanity.
While Ye Huizhou was growing stronger, Ye Xihe had been captured and subjected to human experimentation.
As for why it was her, the original novel never explained. By the time Ye Huizhou found her, she had already been tortured beyond recognition.
She died in his arms.
And the novel ended abruptly there.
Ye Xihe continued flipping through the diary.
【Mom said I’m an amazing little girl and that I’ll help lots of people in the future!】
【I want to travel with Big Brother.】
Underneath, she had listed several places.
【Santorini, Provence, Bora Bora】
【But before that, let’s go to the amusement park one more time, Big Brother~】
Behind this page was a photograph.
A little girl around ten years old was lying on a man’s back, holding an ice cream cone in her left hand, her smile bright and radiant. Infectiously affected by her joy, the handsome man also wore a smile in his eyes and at the corners of his lips.
This was the male lead, Ye Huizhou.
Looking at the sharp-featured man in the photo, Ye Xihe reached out for it.
The moment her fingertips touched the picture, a memory suddenly surged into her mind.
“Big Brother! The teacher said my blackboard art was super beautiful today!”
The little Ye Xihe hopped along while holding Ye Huizhou’s hand.
With a pink schoolbag slung over one shoulder and his other hand holding his sister’s, the setting sun cast golden light over his tousled hair.
“Xihe is so amazing. I’ll reward you with cola chicken wings when we get home.”
Ye Xihe shook her head, a wave of bitterness rising in her chest.
These were probably the original owner’s memories.
She stopped thinking about it, put away the diary, and considered what to do next.
According to the original story, she had been taken away by an organization, but when she would be captured and where it would happen remained completely unknown.
Ye Huizhou treasured his sister more than anything and would definitely come back for her.
So, for now, she needed to find a safe place to hide and wait for Ye Huizhou to find her.
She definitely couldn’t stay at home. Those people had a clear objective and undoubtedly knew where she lived.
But where should she go?
Ye Xihe bit her finger and thought for a long time.
She couldn’t go to her art studio either. It was surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows and was probably already a complete mess.
Then what about Ye Huizhou’s company?
Her eyes lit up.
His company wasn’t far from home. It was the first day of the Apocalypse, and since it was Saturday, there probably wouldn’t be many people around.
The company was located in a technology center with roads leading in all directions. Even if someone found her there, escaping would be easy.
I’m a genius!
Ye Xihe struck her palm with a fist and began making preparations.
She tied her long hair into a ponytail, took bandages from the medicine cabinet, and wrapped both her arms and legs before putting on long pants and a windbreaker.
Although it was a little hot, it would reduce the chance of being scratched or bitten.
She cleaned out the refrigerator and hid all the food that could be stored long-term inside a hidden compartment in the wardrobe.
That way, after reuniting with Ye Huizhou, they could come back and retrieve some supplies.
Then she took out a backpack and packed some small but filling food, along with several bottles of water.
Finally, she found a baseball bat on the balcony and tested its weight in her hand.
Walking to the window, Ye Xihe carefully observed the situation downstairs.
It was already afternoon. The gray fog had dispersed somewhat. After the chaos of the morning, the streets remained in disarray, but there were very few living people left, only a handful of Zombies wandering around.
She looked to the left.
There, a Zombie was gnawing on a corpse. The body’s chest and abdomen had been torn open, its organs spilling across the ground, while the Zombie grabbed intestines with both hands and stuffed them into its mouth.
Ugh!
Unable to bear the sight, Ye Xihe quickly looked away.
Ye Huizhou’s company was at the second intersection on the left.
If she went down now, all she had to do was avoid that Zombie feasting on the corpse, and she’d reach the company building!
With the baseball bat in one hand and the other gripping the doorknob, Ye Xihe stood at the entrance.
Beyond this door lay an entirely new and unknown world.
She had to do everything she could to survive.
Taking a deep breath, she turned the knob.
The instant the door opened, a Zombie with half its head sliced off lunged straight at her!
