On a winter morning, the bustling city wakes up bathed in warm sunshine, and begins another day of crowding and busyness.
A soft golden light shone through the edge of the sunscreen curtain into the window, passing through the fine white mist sprayed out by a pink cat humidifier under the window, like a layer of fine gold powder sprinkled in the air, landing on the peaceful and gentle sleeping face of a young woman sleeping soundly on the bed.
Suddenly, her body covered under the thin blanket bounced violently, her beautiful facial features twisted and ferocious, her angry eyes wide open, and the hostility in her eyes slashed like a sharp blade. Three meters away, the cabinet air conditioner that was blowing cold air at her was silently broken in two, and the machine wires inside the body innocently emitted two small sparks and turned into a few strands of black smoke.
The air conditioning vent that was "decapitated" fell to the ground, making a loud "clang clang" sound. After bouncing two more times, it slipped and fell onto a flowerpot next to a tall money tree. The lush green leaves of the money tree shook "brush brush brush" and rubbed against the company's policy chart on the snow-white wall, making a "rustling" sound. Then everything became quiet again, except for the kitten adding moisture and still trying to spray white mist.
Xiao Wanrou knelt on the bed with her legs arched like a agile leopard, watching everything with wide open eyes and realizing that there was really no danger. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
When she saw the environment in front of her clearly, her mind was instantly shaken and she couldn't believe her eyes.
This is clearly her office from ten years ago.
Illusion
She shook her head vigorously, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her mind, like being rubbed by countless blunt bumps, or like a boiling kettle with its lid covered, ready to explode at any moment.
After a while, Xiao Wanrou finally breathed heavily and her shaking mind calmed down.
Her conclusion is that she has been reborn and returned to ten years ago
She still couldn't believe it, got up from the ground, picked up the smartphone that had fallen out of her pillow, and saw that the date displayed was August 9th, 2020.
August 9th, 2020, is such a distant and nostalgic date.
She touched the comfortable and soft silk nightgown on her body, moving her strong hands and feet in surprise, confirming that her body was healthy and intact. Tears of joy streamed down her face.
She has truly been reborn, from the year 2030 back to 2020, from the end of the world where zombies, blood, corruption, and cruelty are everywhere, like a hell on earth, she has been reborn back to this era of pleasant scenery and full of local beauty.
She pulled open the gray blue sunshade curtains, pushed open the dark blue glass window sash, greedily took a deep breath, and the air was filled with a unique urban turbidity, but compared to the decay and stench that could be smelled everywhere in the apocalypse, it was fragrant and charming.
Her office building is located in the bustling city center, facing the CBD commercial district. There is a Jiangnan style old street on the back, and the breakfast shop at the street corner is a century old brand with busy business. You can vaguely hear diners greeting each other with familiar local dialects.
Really, it's been a long time
All of this is so ordinary and beautiful, but after the cruel end of the world comes, this place will become a hell on earth. These familiar and unfamiliar villagers in front of us may all die and become the walking dead or their food.
Her mind was in a daze, her thoughts drifting, and all the memories of her past and present kept passing through her mind like movie images, as if they were far away but still in front of her.
In the past life, the apocalypse came without any warning.
No, it cannot be said that there are no signs. There have been various prophecies before that the end of the world will come, but few people will believe them because they have heard many stories of "wolves coming" in recent years.
At that time, she was completely lost, but had to bravely pick up weapons to fight against the zombies that had turned into familiar or unfamiliar people.
She was about to experience another apocalypse, but there were no waves in her heart, only determination.
At this time, there are still four months left until the end of December 21st.
Yesterday, August 8th, the day of the online business promotion, she worked all night and stayed in the company's office.
She was only 22 years old this year, and her peers had only left university or insisted on not growing up. However, she had already started an online business company, with over 50 people from the beginning.
Two days ago, she was interviewed by a television station as a young entrepreneur, doubling her value and hoping to finally make it through. The end of the world has come, and even thinking about it makes me sigh deeply.
She withdrew her thoughts, put away the simple bed, and placed it in the corner of the wall, recalling her current situation.
When she was two years old, her parents separated. Her father quickly married his stepmother and brought back his younger sister Xiao Wanshu, who was only three months younger than her.
Like many melodramatic plotlines in TV dramas, her stepmother is cruel and vicious, with one person in front and another in the back, often leaving her speechless. Faced with the incomprehension of her relatives and the coldness of her father, she became silent and sensitive, often being bullied by children of the same age.
Yang Xi is half a year older than her, a true childhood sweetheart. She is the only person who treats her well and the only sunshine in her heart. However, these beauties were eventually lost.
In June 2016, after the college entrance examination, it happened to be her 18th birthday. Yang Xi used the money she had worked for half a year to book the best hotel by West Lake to celebrate her birthday and give her a coming of age ceremony. She also knew that Yang Xi secretly bought a couple ring and planned to confess to her on her birthday
She was so excited that she couldn't sleep well for several days. Finally, on her birthday, she dressed up beautifully in a new dress and went to the appointment with a cheerful heart, but was tricked by fate.
Until now, she still didn't understand what had happened. Strangely, someone wanted to catch her. She hid in the crowd dancing in the square and called for help. Unexpectedly, the other party was insane and directly raised their guns to shoot. Passersby lay down their guns one after another, and the crimson blood crawled all over the ground like a winding red snake. That scene has always been her nightmare, a hundred times more terrifying than the zombies of the apocalypse.
The frightened people screamed and trembled, huddled together in the chaos. She ran in panic, but someone knocked her down. She was saved by a young man who, if he hadn't blocked her with his shoulder, would have shot her in the head. She felt the bullet lodged in his shoulder and he insisted on not going to the hospital. Xiao Wanrou, afraid of bad people, took him to hide in the nearby West Lake scenic area. At that time, the man had a fever that made him lose consciousness and knocked her down
Struggling, begging for mercy, and calling for help were all useless. In despair, the man tore apart her youth.
She dare not report to the police, her parents, or Yang Xi. She doesn't want to live anymore and pretends that nothing has happened, temporarily separating from Yang Xi. Then she hid in the small hotel like a mouse, bought a blade to cut her wrist, but she hasn't found her mother yet, hasn't gone to college, and hasn't been with Yang Xi yet
She didn't have the courage to die, so she could only live in a daze. After a month, the hotel owner couldn't bear to see it anymore and sent her to the hospital. However, fate dealt her a heavy blow again
She's pregnant
Xiao Wanrou was bewildered but unexpectedly insisted that she was a child abandoned by her mother and despised by her father, and she could never have her own child aborted.
This news left Yang Xi in excruciating pain. She could only cry and tell the truth. Yang Xi felt painful and self blaming, but still remained by her side and vowed to love her for the rest of her life.
But Yang Xi comes from a traditional family, and both of her parents are traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Knowing that the child in her belly is not her grandson, how could she agree to be together
Yang Xi was sent to study traditional Chinese medicine.
Xiao Wanrou broke ties with her family and gave birth to a son. She worked hard in the wave of online business entrepreneurship for three years and achieved some success. However, fate once again played a trick on her, and the end of the world came
