Rebirth: I went back to the day of the zombie outbreak

As soon as this thought came to my mind, I felt like a stream of cold water was poured over my head, and I instantly became much more sober.

Indeed, this is an extremely selfish choice, but I must admit that it also has its rationale.

I am alone and don't need to worry about the life and death of others, let alone whether they are in a team or not, or whether their attributes have any value.

I could quickly and quietly leave this city that was about to turn to ashes, find a safe place, and start a new life.

But can I feel at ease if I do this?

Can I forget the comrades who once fought alongside me?

Can I ignore their desperate eyes?

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to find some clarity in my chaotic thoughts.

I think back to the days we spent together, the laughter, the sweat, the battles...

These memories, like an invisible chain, tightly connect me to them.

I opened my eyes and looked at Hirono Hiroaki.

His eyes were filled with despair and pain.

I turned to look at Wang Defa. Although his eyes were filled with fear and anxiety, they were more of dependence and trust in me.

But with so many people scattered all over the place, it's not easy.

This is not like in school, where one is in the cafeteria, one is in the library, and one is in the teaching building.

You can get there in minutes by driving an Iveco.

Now I even meet Duan Kai and Kong Zheng in person.

Not to mention Zhang Tanyan’s villa, which is so far away from the prison.

I rubbed my eyes, trying to clear my mind of thoughts.

Suddenly, there was a person at the door of the cell.

The cell was not big to begin with, and there was a person standing there, but the three of us didn’t even notice him.

The dim light prevented me from seeing the man's appearance for a moment.

But it looks a bit like——

"Officer Yan?"

I screamed in fright.

The sound echoed in the small cell.

Wang Defa and Hideno Hongming were both stunned and looked in the direction I was looking at blankly.

"Officer Yan? Where did Officer Yan come from?" Wang Defa looked at the cell door and asked fearfully, "Brother, are you exhausted?"

I didn't answer and rushed to the cell door.

Officer Yan disappeared as if by teleportation and appeared in the cell next door.

He just stood there blankly, motionless, looked at me, and then walked into the cell.

That was my cell.

I stood at the door, not knowing what to do.

Wang Defa came over, patted me on the shoulder, said a few words of comfort, and then left.

At this time, Hiroaki Hideno was also lying on the bed shivering.

I plucked up my courage and walked towards my cell, observing inside for a while from the door.

There was no one inside, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

I suddenly met Officer Yan last night. Could it be that there is really something in my mind?

I entered the cell and was about to lie down when I noticed something behind me.

I quickly turned around and delivered a punch.

No matter what monsters are behind you, take my punch first.

But this punch hit the wall hard, and there was a pain in the fist.

Still empty.

"Officer Yan, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't play tricks here."

I said to the wall.

After a few seconds, there was no response.

I could only turn around and sit back on the bed.

But at this moment, Officer Yan was already sitting on the bed.

In the dim light outside the cell, I could see a hint of sarcasm on Officer Yan's pale face.

I couldn't help but breathe faster.

"You're already dead, why are you still bothering me!"

I growled in a low voice.

As I said that, I rushed forward and reached out to grab Officer Yan's collar.

I want to see whether the Officer Yan in front of me is real or just an illusion.

But Officer Yan on the bed disappeared again.

My movements froze and my eyes narrowed.

Officer Yan has appeared beside me, his pale face pressed against my ear.

"Why didn't you save me—"

The words were like a cold knife, silently stabbing into my body.

The tragic scene of Officer Yan’s death kept appearing in my mind.

"It's not me who killed you, why are you always pestering me? Go find Xiong Wei!"

I was thinking angrily, and my forehead hit the bed board of the upper bunk with a bang.

Ignoring the pain, I reached out and grabbed Officer Yan's collar.

But there was nothing where his hand reached, and he actually grabbed nothing.

I fell weakly and lay on the bed.

Officer Yan was now standing at the cell door, still staring at me with a scrutinizing look.

Mr. Chen is right. I am really affected by something.

I don’t know if I will die if I continue like this.

"You promised to save my wife and daughter—"

Officer Yan’s hollow words made my heart tighten.

Indeed, I promised.

That is just a consolation for a dying person.

Now I can’t even save myself, how can I save others?

Officer Yan never showed up again until the next morning.

Everyone got up one after another, had breakfast, and returned to their cells to wait.

Today, the people in Building A went out to look for supplies.

Wang Defa and I were lying on the iron net a few meters apart, watching a large group of people in orange prison uniforms board the bus.

"Did you see them?" I asked.

"It's hard to say. These people are all wearing the same clothes and have the same shaved hair." Wang Defa said, tilting his neck.

After thinking about it all night last night, I decided that I couldn't lose any of them.

Even if it's the stupidest decision.

The first step now is to find Duan Kai and Kong Zheng.

He took Hideno Hongming and Lu Xiaochan out of the prison, then went to Zhang Tanyan's villa, and took everyone to the underground defense base.

As for what happens next, let’s leave it to fate.

Only after the bus sped away from the prison did the crowd slowly disperse.

Among a group of people in orange prison uniforms, I sharply spotted the dark-skinned, short figure.

I quickly patted Wang Defa and showed it to him.

"Isn't that Duan Kai? Hey! Duan Kai——" Wang Defa shouted excitedly, but I quickly stopped him.

"We have to pretend that we don't know each other, including you and me." I glanced uneasily at the third floor of the office building and warned.

I don’t know if the warden noticed.

His agility is much higher than mine, and no movement can escape his eyes.

However, as it was too far away, Duan Kai and Kong Zheng looked left and right while walking towards Building A.

In the morning, Wang Defa, Lao Bu, Hideno Hongming and I went to Building D to clean up the zombie corpses.

Dai Yuheng was still like a robot, repeating yesterday's actions.

He said nothing today and didn't even look at me.

Maybe there are more people around.

"Old Bu, where does this guy stay at night?" I asked casually while working.

"He lives in a dungeon," said Old Bull. "That place is not for human beings to live in. It's ten times more disgusting than this."

After saying this, Lao Bu threw away the net bag and left with the cart full of corpses.

The workload is still the same, but it's much easier for the four of us.

But it’s still only 10 work points.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and we took a shower as usual and went to the cafeteria to eat.

As a result, the remaining work points seemed not enough even for dinner.

Wang Defa and I kept staring at the entrance.

Soon, more and more people came into the cafeteria, and the orange and gray colors naturally split into two groups.

I found Duan Kai in the crowd.

Who told that kid to be so strange?

I nodded to Wang Defa, and he understood and left with the plate.

Came behind a man whose muscles were about to burst his orange clothes.

Then he pretended to stumble and poured the rest of the food on the man's head.

Wang Defa did not apologize either. He just twisted his mouth and looked like he was asking, "What can you do to me?"

"What? You dare to touch the people in Building B! The people in Building B are not easy to bully - ah -"

Before he could finish his words, Wang Defa's screams were heard.

People in the cafeteria stood up to watch the fun, and soon Wang Defa's situation turned into a group fight.

I took the opportunity to run to Duan Kai and stuffed the prepared note into his hand.
