In a frigid apocalypse, I went on a shopping spree with the reborn.

Jiang Qingyue was shaken so badly that she was swaying from side to side, and she didn't know the specifics of Zhao Mingyue's situation, so she didn't know how to explain it to her.

Dragon Nine Star, inside the gem, shouted anxiously, "Let go! You're hurting her!"

Long Jiuxing from her past life glanced at her sideways. Was she really that nervous about her in her later life?

She looked up at Jiang Qingyue; he had eyes, nose, ears, mouth...

A complete person.

Aside from that, there's nothing particularly special about it.

It's hard to imagine that in my next life I would be so nervous about this person, so nervous that I couldn't stand even the slightest frown from her.

However, she will still be herself in the next life. Since she wants to protect this woman so much, she can't let her worry about it.

She acted with lightning speed, grabbing Zhao Mingyue's hand: "Let go of her."

Zhao Mingyue's eyes were as cold as ice: "Who do you think you are? Get out of my way."

He then raised his leg and kicked.

Long Jiuxing and her movements were almost perfectly synchronized; if they were holding hands, they would use their legs.

Caught in the middle, Jiang Qingyue didn't get a chance to say a word. The two exchanged several kicks, making the small mud house shake violently, like an earthquake.

The two old men huddled in the corner, trembling.

The girl with twin ponytails seized the opportunity to lecture them: "See? I told you to stay away from them. They're all tough girls. If you accidentally kill them, you'll have no one to complain to."

The burst of powerful energy made Wang Defa, in his previous life, feel an urge to run away.

At this moment, his mind was in a complete mess. He knew that Long Jiuxing was very strong, but he only thought that he was slightly stronger than himself.

Now it seems that it's clearly a tiny fraction.

I'd never even heard of that woman who was on par with Long Jiuxing; she was incredibly strong.

Are they even giving people a way to survive?

"I've made up my mind. From now on, I won't marry a woman. Women are too scary."

"Right, right, right, not looking for a woman..." The girl with pigtails suddenly realized, "What the hell are you talking about, you idiot? If you're not looking for a woman to be your wife, what are you looking for?"

"Alright." Jiang Qingyue reached out and forcibly separated the two of them: "Can you two be a little more rational? Are you trying to destroy the house?"

In his past life, Wang Defa nodded hurriedly, saying this was his home, but he dared not say it. He was afraid that if he uttered a word, these two old ladies would tear him apart.

Jiang Qingyue pressed Long Jiuxing down onto the sofa, then turned and pressed Zhao Mingyue down onto the sofa as well.

She pulled up a wooden stool and sat down opposite the two of them: "My name is Jiang Qingyue. You don't know me, but after my rebirth, the eight strongest individuals and the rest of the human race quickly united as one."

"We are a very united and excellent team. You two are in the team too, and I know you very well."

"I have to tell you, the situation in our Eighth District is very critical right now. It's a critical moment for the survival of our race, and everything else has to take a backseat."

After saying that, seeing that the two people's expressions did not change, Jiang Qingyue sighed deeply. It was obvious that they didn't care.

Yeah, those two don't even care about their own lives.

She found it strange. Given their personalities, how could these two have become her protectors in their past lives, willingly fighting for their race?

She really wanted to seek guidance from her past life.

Unfortunately, that guy is currently in the zombie city, and he doesn't even know Long Jiuxing and the others yet.

Hey ~

Zhao Mingyue leaned back and crossed her legs: "If you're trying to use moral blackmail, then there's no need to say anything more. This girl won't fall for that."

"Give me that pendant, and from now on, we'll go our separate ways."

Long Jiuxing from his previous life also said, "Me too."

Wang Defa from his past life immediately followed up, "Me too..."

Jiang Qingyue shot Wang Defa a glare that made him immediately shut up and shrink back into the corner.

Jiang Qingyue took a deep breath and stood up: "If you don't like listening, I won't talk about those grand principles. Let's talk about something practical."

"You should also know very well that if everyone in the encirclement dies, you will be the only survivors remaining in the entire Eighth District."

"All the experimental zones will be after you. Without people from within the circle to draw their fire, do you think you can still be lone wolves?"

Without a second thought, Long Jiuxing blurted out, "Then die."

"What about the baby?" Jiang Qingyue asked. Long Jiuxing sensed that she had his own treasure on her, and Jiang Qingyue guessed that it was most likely the baby.

When Long Jiuxing arrived, he was alone. Zhang Meng and the others couldn't find any information about Zai Zai either. In their previous lives, Zai Zai, like Yan Bao, seemed to have never existed.

At least not in this timeframe.

In other words, Long Jiuxing was able to leave the hospital in her previous life through other means, or even by her own efforts, rather than with Zai Zai's help.

It will definitely be more difficult.

With her arrangement in this life, Zaizai and Long Jiuxing met earlier. With Zaizai's help, it should be much easier for Long Jiuxing to leave the hospital than in the previous life, and he also met her earlier.

As for how she sensed things that hadn't happened yet, Jiang Qingyue didn't quite understand. Perhaps, like Zhao Mingyue, she had some other means that she couldn't explain.

But since they can sense it, they can be manipulated.

"What baby?" Long Jiuxing, from his past life, frowned slightly, puzzled. "Isn't the treasure I sensed my reborn self?"

Jiang Qingyue: "No, it's a small snake."

Yan Bao quickly added, "She's my little sister, a very cute little snake. She doesn't have a physical body anymore, she's your little snake."

Within the gem, the little one was quite clever, weakly calling out, "Master."

Long Jiuxing, from her past life, felt a tremor in her heart. Although it was the first time she had heard it, it warmed her icy heart for the first time.

Now she is certain that this baby is the precious one she had sensed before.

She looked at Ruby, somewhat flustered, and asked, "Are you... alright?"

The little one is so clever! He could tell from the look that the master was worried about him, so he immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Oh no, waaaah~ Master, I'm not okay at all."

"That wicked Lord God of Eternal Winter set up an intergalactic arena to kill us; everyone died. We were constantly being overwhelmed."

"My master took my older sister and me to ingest purified zombie virus, and after turning into zombies, he self-destructed."

"The physical body I painstakingly nurtured, which was almost at maturity, has now exploded and is gone."

"We don't know when it will be ready to recover."

Before she could finish speaking, she burst into tears.

In his past life, Long Jiuxing was at a loss when faced with her grievances.

She rarely speaks, so I really don't know how to comfort a little snake.

Long Jiuxing inside the gem wanted to offer comfort, but she had no physical form.

Taking the opportunity, Jiang Qingyue said, "Neither you, after your rebirth, nor the snake cub currently have a physical form. Restoring them will require a lot of resources."

"I can't do this alone, I hope you can help me."

Long Jiuxing from his previous life hesitated.

She didn't want to team up with anyone.

But the sound of her baby crying made her heart ache.

Seeing her hesitation, Zhao Mingyue sneered, "Fool. You don't even recognize this snake; maybe she's lying to you."

"Even if it is a mythical beast that truly belongs to you, you will only encounter it in the future. Since you will meet your own little snake in the future, it means you still have a future. Just wait."

"This snake without a body, like the you in your next life without a body, is not the real you."

"This snake belongs to her; your snake is waiting for you in the future."

Long Jiuxing ignored her.

She always acts solely according to her own thoughts and feelings; anything else is just noise to her.

Jiang Qingyue couldn't let her refuse, so she quickly said, "Zhao Mingyue is right. The dragon Jiuxing and Zaizai in my gemstone hair chain are both reborn. You should also meet your own Zaizai in this life."

"But have you ever thought about it? So many people from the Eighth District have come back from the future to change their fate."

"Such a large-scale operation requires an amount of effort and resources that we cannot fathom at present."

"It is highly likely that this is the only lifetime. If so many people come back and still can't save humanity, then there won't be a next time."

"You have no future either; we will all die."

Upon hearing this, Long Jiuxing, from his previous life, remained expressionless, but his fingertips trembled almost imperceptibly.

"If you could have dominated the universe in your previous life, there wouldn't be us reborn as we are now," Jiang Qingyue said. "There's only one possibility: you died. In other words, in this life, you died along with your little snake."

"After being reborn, the little snake went to the hospital. At that time, she was still a cub, a tiny snake as thick as a chopstick. She went everywhere to find food and medicine for you and helped you fight off bad guys."

"I dragged you from the city to the mountains in the suburbs to find me, and that's how I saved your life."

Long Jiuxing's lips trembled slightly in her past life; her experience in the hospital was a nightmare for her.

Even today, decades later, the memory still wakes her up in fright.

She remained silent for a long time before asking, "How long did it take you to escape from the hospital in this life?"

Long Jiuxing in the gem was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was asking about herself: "I can't remember, not long ago. Not long after the apocalypse broke out, my combat power was only a little over a thousand, and then Zaizai brought me to the vicinity of Sister Xiaoyue's shelter."

"When I woke up, I was in the soft, big bed in the shelter."

"So early?" Long Jiuxing from his past life murmured to himself, "I... I took five... years."

Long Jiuxing, recalling those five years of living worse than pigs and dogs, trembled uncontrollably.

Jiang Qingyue hadn't expected such a strong reaction from her. Feeling a pang of sadness, she quickly went over and hugged her, patting her back: "Take a deep breath."

"It's alright, everything's alright now. I'm sorry, I didn't know you were still..."

Within the jeweled hair chain, Long Jiuxing saw his past self, covered in cold sweat and with a ferocious expression, nestled in Xiao Yue's arms, unsure of what to say.

Even though I don't have a physical body, I still feel like my heart is being torn apart, and I feel a piercing pain.

She has no memories of her previous life, but she has memories of this one.

She couldn't imagine how difficult it was for her even with Zai Zai around. In her previous life, she hadn't met Sister Xiao Yue or Zai Zai even after 35 years into the apocalypse.

How did someone manage to get to this point?

Even Zhao Mingyue, who usually doesn't get along with Long Jiuxing, didn't say anything sarcastic when she saw this scene; she just silently turned her head away.

She knew a little about Long Jiuxing's past, not much, but she knew that she used to be unable to move her legs.

Over the years of fighting and killing, she had said many things to Long Jiuxing, but she had never attacked her legs.

Although she disapproved of her arch-enemy's actions, she still admired him.

Countless healthy people couldn't survive in this apocalypse, yet Long Jiuxing not only survived such a desperate situation but also became so strong.

It would be a lie to say she didn't admire him, but admiration didn't stop her from disliking Long Jiuxing.

"I'm telling you, you'll be fine after crying for a while..." Zhao Mingyue said, turning her head to find that Long Jiuxing had actually fallen asleep in Jiang Qingyue's arms, his hands still tightly wrapped around her waist.

"Ha." Zhao Mingyue was almost laughing out of anger.

She was glad she had softened her heart for a moment. If she had known this guy was so good at taking advantage of her, she should have cursed him a few more times to vent her anger.

Wait a minute, Zhao Mingyue's face suddenly stiffened. He wasn't taking advantage of her, and he wasn't even holding her waist, so why was she angry?

Looking at Jiang Qingyue and Long Jiuxing again, he felt even more annoyed and immediately reached out: "Give me that pendant, I'm leaving."

"No." Jiang Qingyue picked up Long Jiuxing and gently placed him on the sofa.

Little Grey kindly helped take off his shoes.

Zhao Mingyue suppressed her temper: "You said it yourself, that was something I gave you after my rebirth. I am still me after my rebirth, and I have the right to take back what I gave away."

"I don't want to give it to you anymore, give it back to me."

Jiang Qingyue's lips twitched: "You just told Long Jiuxing that this life is this life, and the next life is the next life."

"So what? I'm just a hypocrite, what can you do about it?" Zhao Mingyue's expression was arrogant.

She pointed at Zhang Meng: "I know she's strong. Do you want her to kill me? Come on, I'm not afraid of death."

Her attitude nearly made Jiang Qingyue's head explode.

She was puzzled. In her previous life, Zhao Mingyue was almost forty years old at this point in time, so why was she acting like a rebellious child?

Do middle-aged people also have a rebellious phase?

"Take what?" Gemstone Dragon Nine Star retorted, "Didn't you see the character '越' (yue) on that pendant?"

Zhao Mingyue frowned, even angrier: "I also want to know why your name is on the pendant that I cherish as my life."

Jiang Qingyue coughed lightly, her expression turning serious in an instant: "That's because we'll become sworn sisters in the future."

The entire room fell silent.

Those who knew and those who didn't remained silent at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingyue's expression was indescribable, and she looked at Jiang Qingyue with utter disdain: "You're obviously no good, you're not on my side, why would I become sworn brothers with you?"

"People change, you know," Jiang Qingyue said shamelessly. "In the future, we'll be sworn sisters and best friends."

She then took out the pendant: "Look, this moon represents you, and this character 'Yue' represents me."

"If our relationship were really that bad, why would you personally make such a meaningful pendant and give it to me, right?"

Zhao Mingyue looked at her with suspicion: "Really?"

"Of course. I came to this time and space from the future, and I wish I could make room for every inch of space to store supplies, but I still kept this little box on me, which took up some space."

"If I didn't cherish this pendant so much, I would have thrown it away long ago, right?"

Zhao Mingyue remained silent, but she still felt that something was amiss.

Jiang Qingyue pressed on: "The reason we lost in the last life was because everything developed too slowly. The eight powerful figures were scattered and it took too long for them to join forces."

"I've returned in this life to help everyone join forces sooner. Everything needs to be accelerated, including our sworn brotherhood."

Zhao Mingyue reached out again: "Since this is the token of our sworn sisterhood, give it back to me."

"No, I won't give it to you." Jiang Qingyue said without batting an eye, "This is a gift from you, and I'm keeping it safe. I also gave you one, so you can keep that one."

Zhao Mingyue's face fell: "Then where is my Jiang Qingyue in this life? I'll go find her right now and become sworn sisters with her."

"The King's City," Jiang Qingyue said with a grin, "Go ahead."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingyue's expression changed: "The King's City, that's not the original First City. It's full of zombies, and the city lord is a giant zombie king."

"You're not going to tell me that I became sworn sisters with a zombie king in this life?"

"Most likely."

"I……"

Zhao Mingyue's face changed color from blue to white to red, like a palette of colors.
