Gold Coast, Australia.
Bai Yaoyao abruptly sat up from the lounge chair, staring blankly at the long-legged blondes in bikinis and the muscular men showing off their physiques on the beach. It took her a long while to realize—had she been reborn?
Her mind kept replaying the fight with the Space-Type Royal Zombie. Her entire ten-person squad had been wiped out by it.
In the end, it was only because Fatty and the others sacrificed their lives to hold it off that she had the chance to deliver a full-force strike. Watching as the zombie slowly sliced off every pound of Fatty’s 200-plus-pound body, Bai Yaoyao mustered all her strength and fought desperately, taking the space zombie down with her in a mutual destruction.
Just before she died, the crystal core of the Royal Space Zombie landed right in front of her. Using every last bit of her strength, she barely managed to touch it with her fingertip before she breathed her last.
Picking up the phone from the lounge chair, she checked the date—she had actually been reborn three months before the apocalypse!
In her previous life, Bai Yaoyao had not only survived ten years in the apocalypse but had also formed the Night Squad with a few brothers she could trust with her life, killing countless zombies and mutated beasts.
The arrival of the apocalypse had been anticipated by almost everyone, but no one expected it to happen so suddenly.
It started with a virus from abroad. China had managed to contain it for ten years, but it eventually spread beyond control.
Without any warning, it rained simultaneously across the globe. Instead of a rainbow after the rain, about sixty percent of humanity turned into zombies, completely losing their consciousness and uncontrollably attacking humans.
Coupled with the continuous emergence of mutated animals, humanity’s survival became increasingly precarious. However, there were still those with extraordinary abilities. By the time Bai Yaoyao died, humanity had already produced Level 9 ability users.
Bai Yaoyao was among them, having awakened a space ability. Initially, the space ability was only useful for storing supplies, making it extremely underwhelming. Relying on her exceptional combat skills, Bai Yaoyao fought zombies head-on and managed to level up her ability to Level 3.
It was only then that she discovered the space ability was not just for storage—it could also unleash skills like the space blade, space severing, projectile attacks, and teleportation.
Paired with her combat skills, it was a perfect match, propelling her to sixth place on China’s Top Ten Combat Power Rankings.
Yet, even that was not enough to defeat a Royal Zombie.
The Beijing Base in China issued a statement: if ten different types of Royal Zombie crystal cores could be obtained, a zombie vaccine could be developed, effectively ending the apocalypse.
However, as humans grew stronger, so did the zombies. They even developed intelligence. Three years later, it became rare to encounter a lone zombie.
Without teamwork, it was nearly impossible for an individual to take on a zombie horde. The zombies had even learned to attack human bases with purpose and strategy.
Obtaining ten different types of Royal Zombie crystal cores was an incredibly difficult task. The most formidable of them all, the Time Zombie—forget killing it, everyone who had seen it had died. Its very existence was only inferred from the aged corpses left behind.
Bai Yaoyao closed her eyes silently, clenched her fists, and thought of the brothers who had left her one by one in her previous life. A wave of excitement surged within her—they were all still alive!
This was the true meaning of her rebirth. This time, I will lead you all to clear this apocalypse!
Bai Yaoyao glanced at the calm sea surface and quickly returned to the beachside villa. Having worked as an assassin for so many years, she had accumulated a “modest” fortune. Though accustomed to a life of fighting and killing, she occasionally allowed herself a break to enjoy a few leisurely days.
Bai Yaoyao felt she had many things to do. The first task was to calm her mind, recall the important timelines and events from the ten years of the apocalypse, and record them.
Out of habit, she retrieved pen and paper from her space, but after writing just one character, she suddenly realized—holy crap, the apocalypse hasn’t even started yet, so how do I already have an ability?
She quickly checked and discovered that not only was her space ability still present, but it had also upgraded!
When her space ability first awakened in her previous life, it was only the size of a 20-square-meter bedroom. It didn’t reach the size of a football field until after reaching level 9.
But now…
She couldn’t even detect its boundaries!
It seemed to expand as large as she needed it to be.
Strangely, a house had appeared inside the space. Bai Yaoyao was eager to know what was inside, but the moment she had that thought, she felt a wave of dizziness and found herself inside the house.
Bai Yaoyao was stunned. This space ability had mutated way too powerfully—she could actually enter it herself! In her previous life, the space couldn’t hold living beings. If she could enter, did that mean other living creatures with life energy could enter too?
Unfortunately, there were no small animals nearby to experiment with.
Bai Yaoyao wandered around the house. The main room contained nothing but a bed, and there were two adjacent rooms—a kitchen and a bathroom—both with the most basic furnishings.
The most surprising part was outside the house: there was soil! It could be used for planting! No matter how many supplies she stockpiled, they would eventually run out. Renewable resources were the true guarantee of survival.
Bai Yaoyao suddenly remembered the crystal core of the Emperor-level Space Zombie and guessed that it was the cause of her space ability’s mutation.
But why had she been reborn?
…
Since she couldn’t figure it out, she decided not to dwell on it. There were too many things she needed to do, and she couldn’t afford to waste even a single moment!
She took out her phone and called Fatty.
“Sis Yaoyao, what’s up?”
Hearing Fatty’s voice, Bai Yaoyao’s tears instantly streamed down. Before he died, Fatty had been shouting for her to run.
But she had chosen to fight back.
“Fatty, where are you?”
“I’m eating lobster! Their lobster is so good!”Fatty’s silly voice came through.”
“Come find me. I’ll send you my location.”
“Sure thing! I’ll bring you some lobster to try—it’s seriously delicious!” After hanging up, he packed a large portion of lobster and quickly drove to Bai Yaoyao’s location.
Fatty’s real name was Chen Xiaopang. He was a year older than Bai Yaoyao, and they had been picked up by their master on the same day. The master taught them skills and gave them the means to make a living.
The organization gradually grew, but the old master couldn’t hold on and passed away, leaving the organization to Bai Yaoyao before his death.
By now, they had earned enough money to live comfortably, and Bai Yaoyao wanted everyone to retire from this life. She had no other ambitions—she just wanted everyone to be safe, find partners, get married, and live ordinary lives.
After all, everyone had suffered so much in their childhood…
Bai Yaoyao’s personality contrasted sharply with her appearance. She had fair skin, large, doll-like eyes that fluttered like a Barbie’s, a small and delicate nose, and a sweet smile adorned with two small dimples.
With her harmless appearance, she had successfully completed countless S-rank missions. Many targets refused to believe until their dying breath that this charming and eloquent young girl before them was actually the top-ranked assassin on the kill list.
