Apocalypse: No rebirth! Time to upgrade the sewers!

"When were you reborn?"

Song Qing squatted down and calmly asked the first question.

"One month before the apocalypse! Brother Song! It's one month before the apocalypse begins!"

Ye Chen answered almost instantly.

"The moment I was reborn, I immediately began preparing for the apocalypse!"

Song Qing didn't speak, she just looked at him quietly.

This silence terrified Ye Chen. He dared not hide anything and continued to speak as if pouring out beans from a bamboo tube.

"I emptied out all the supplies from those two Walmart warehouses near our district! Completely emptied them, Brother Song! Then, I even went to Russia and bought a huge arsenal of weapons!"

After saying that, Ye Chen looked at Song Qing with a fawning expression, like a dog waiting for its master's praise.

Two Walmart warehouses?

And weapons?

A ripple stirred in Song Qing's heart.

He knew exactly what that meant. It was a resource that an ordinary person couldn't consume in several lifetimes.

No wonder this guy was so arrogant before.

So that's where their confidence came from.

"Your special ability is spatial?" Song Qing continued to ask calmly.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ye Chen nodded frantically. "My superpower is space! I can manipulate spatial dimensions! All my supplies are in my alternate dimension!"

"Tell me in detail."

"My superpower is very strong, but it consumes a tremendous amount of energy!" Ye Chen hurriedly explained, seemingly trying to downplay his threat. "Besides teleportation and taking things out of other dimensions, I dare not use any other offensive abilities! With my current strength, I would be completely drained after using them once or twice; I simply can't afford the consumption."

Looking at his terrified expression, Song Qing only believed half of what he said.

However, one thing is certain.

Ye Chen before me has completely lost all will to resist.

He's genuinely scared now.

This guy, taking advantage of the information gap from his rebirth, gained superpowers and resources ahead of time, and thought he was the chosen one, the protagonist of the world.

to be honest.

They've just gotten carried away.

Faced with a real life-or-death situation, his inherent cowardice and incompetence were laid bare.

Song Qing thought for a moment and then changed the question.

Tell me about your past life.

"No problem, Brother Song!" Ye Chen replied immediately. "In my previous life, I struggled for several months in the apocalypse, and in the end... I starved to death. Although I awakened my superpowers back then, it was useless because I couldn't find anything to eat."

Starved to death?

Song Qing almost burst out laughing.

A reincarnated individual with spatial abilities, who actually starved to death in his previous life.

This is the biggest joke in the world.

Just then, a clear, cold female voice could no longer help but ask.

"Then why did you kidnap me, Ye Chen?!"

Gu Ya stared intently at Ye Chen on the ground.

"It's all because of you! It's all because you kidnapped me! I couldn't go back to take care of my mother! That's why she starved to death!"

He looked at Gu Ya in horror, his body trembling even more violently.

"I...I..."

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

"I...I didn't mean to...I..."

Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, but under Song Qing's emotionless gaze, he finally spoke.

"In my past life... I knew you! I knew you later became the boss of the West District!"

The boss of Xicheng District?

Song Qing held Gu Ya's hand and clearly felt her body tremble slightly.

He turned to look at Gu Ya, who also looked bewildered and confused.

"I...we were college classmates too..." Ye Chen's voice trembled with tears, completely giving up on thinking. "I know you...so after being reborn, I wanted...I wanted to control you in advance, to have you help me...help me build my power..."

"asshole!"

Song Qing hugged her tightly.

"Xiaoya, calm down."

He could feel the woman in his arms trembling violently, not from fear, but from anger and sorrow.

He gently patted her back.

"Leave it to me."

Gu Ya buried her face in Song Qing's chest and slowly began to sob.

Song Qing held her in his arms, but his thoughts were racing.

The boss of Xicheng District.

He looked down at Gu Ya in his arms.

It turns out that what he unintentionally obtained was not just a stunningly beautiful woman.

He is also... a future powerhouse.

Once Gu Ya in his arms had calmed down a bit.

Song Qingcai slowly released her.

He looked back at Ye Chen on the ground and continued to ask.

"Is the awakening time for superhumans not fixed?"

Ye Chen was stunned; he hadn't expected Song Qing to ask this so suddenly.

He looked at Song Qing and spoke slowly.

"No...no...Brother Song..."

"The time when each person awakens is actually... actually fixed..."

"About half a month after the apocalypse begins, a small number of people will gradually begin to awaken."

Song Qing listened and understood what was going on.

It's pretty much what he guessed before, only now it's been confirmed.

The awakening time is fixed, it just varies from early to late.

"Then in your previous life, you must have known about quite a few powerful forces, right?" Song Qing continued to question.

This is the issue he cares about most.

"I know! I know! Brother Song, I know!" Ye Chen nodded frantically.

"West District...West District is basically Gu Ya's personal fiefdom! She's built a huge survivor base centered around West District Hospital!"

Song Qing glanced subconsciously at Gu Ya beside her.

Gu Ya herself was stunned.

Ye Chen didn't dare to pause and continued speaking.

"Dongcheng District is quite chaotic. I think there are two major factions. One boss is called Zhao Gang, and the other... I can't remember the other one."

"The southern district is full of insignificant small forces that fight amongst themselves; there's not much to say about them."

"North District! North District is the Wang family's territory! They're the most powerful. There's a military base in North District, which was directly taken over by the Wang family after the apocalypse!"

Song Qing kept this information in mind.

In the small city of S, where the apocalypse has only just begun, so many deeply entrenched forces have already emerged.

It seems the days ahead won't be boring.

"What kind of superpower does Zhao Gang from Dongcheng District have?"

"He can control the terrain!" Ye Chen answered without hesitation. "I saw a video about him in my previous life. He could make the ground collapse and make earthen walls rise from the ground."

Controlling the terrain?

It's yet another kind of superpower I've never seen before.

"What about the Wang family?" Song Qing asked again.

Ye Chen shook his head this time.

"The Wang family is too mysterious. I only know that they have many superhumans under their command, but I have no idea who they are, what their names are, or what their abilities are."

Song Qing did not ask any further questions.

It seems that Ye Chen, this reborn individual, also knows only limited things.

In his previous life, he was just a nobody, so knowing these things was already the limit for him.

Just then, Song Qing suddenly remembered someone else.

"By the way, where's Liu Jiajia?"

He spoke slowly, "You really killed her?"

Mentioning this name, a hint of resentment flashed across Ye Chen's face.

"He ran away! While I was sleeping, she stole a lot of my supplies and then ran off! When I woke up, she was gone!"

Song Qing smiled after hearing this.

No wonder we haven't seen Liu Jiajia; it turns out she was involved in a double-cross.

This woman truly knows how to betray and protect herself, just as always.

However, this is for the best.
