Chapter 3

Ten minutes later, Ling Yichen walked out of the shop with a big bag of equipment on his back.

He had chosen all of them. There was even a small knife that Old Jin had used before, as well as cold weapons like a mountain ax. It could be said that he had emptied Old Jin’s collection.

Old Jin was really a weapon fanatic. He would probably regret not killing Ling Yichen on the spot back then when the apocalypse started.

After that, Ling Yichen got into the car and returned home.

Ling Yichen pulled out his phone and dialed the number that he would never forget.

He dialed Ling Zixing’s number and the call connected after five seconds.

“Zixing, hurry home. I’ll get someone to pick you up.”

Ling Yichen’s tone became gentle. This was the person he had been thinking about.

Ling Yichen naturally would not reveal the cold and cruel aura he had cultivated in the past hundred years of the apocalypse.

In his previous life, he had failed to protect her. Now that he was reborn, he would protect her well and give her the best!

Unfortunately, it would have been better if he had been reborn half a year earlier. That way, he could have saved his parents’ lives.

Ling Zixing asked curiously, “Brother, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“It’s my birthday today. Do you remember?”

“I remember, but there’s no need to rush on your birthday, right?”

“I want to bring you home for a good meal today. Your next class in the fourth period should be physical education, right?”

As if she had been convinced by Ling Yichen, Ling Zixing hesitated for a moment and said, “Hmm… In that case, should I take leave?”

“Yes, I’ll let your form teacher know.”

After his parents passed away, Ling Yichen entered the group for parents and naturally added Ling Zixing’s homeroom teacher on WeChat.

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Ling Yichen felt melancholic for a while.

The voice that he had not heard for a long time seemed to nourish his heart.

Then, Ling Yichen contacted Ling Zixing’s form teacher and said that he had been in a car accident.

Yes, there was a reason why he was a little ruthless to himself.

Before Ling Zixing returned, Ling Yichen seemed to have thought of something. He went to the supermarket and bought some daily necessities, including various brands of sanitary pads.

He had almost forgotten that Ling Zixing was a girl. It was very troublesome for her to have her period in the apocalypse.

By 11.10am, the amount of organic matter had finally reached 100 units!

This consumed a lot of his vegetables and meat, but he had bought quite a lot. It was not a loss to hatch this unknown insect as soon as possible.

Thus, Ling Yichen immediately ordered, “Build the [Incubation Yard].”

Soon, Ling Yichen’s reserves of organic matter returned to zero.

In the Insect Nest Demiplane, an Incubation Yard was being built.

“[Incubation Yard] Remaining Construction Time: 9 minutes 59 seconds.”

The construction of any kind of Insect Clan building required a certain amount of time.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and an Incubation Yard for the Insect Clan appeared in the Insect Nest Demiplane.

The Rank-1 Incubation Yard was not very big. It only covered an area of one square meter-large nest. It was oval in shape and a portion of the bottom was buried in the soil. It was like a huge egg, but there were five cracks around it. It was obvious that it could be opened. Moreover, there were five sharp claws around the cracks. They followed the shape of the egg but did not stick to the egg. They only enveloped it.

After Ling Yichen gave the order in his mind, the huge egg in the middle of the Incubation Yard opened and divided into five petals. The palm-sized unknown insect egg moved into the Rank-1 Incubation Yard and closed again.

Soon, the inner wall of the Hatchery secreted a liquid similar to sap that gradually enveloped the unknown eggs.

Ling Yichen sensed this for a while. Only then did he know the incubation time from the information given by the Hatchery.

“[Unknown Insect Egg] Remaining hatching time: 59 minutes 59 seconds.”

It actually needed an hour to hatch, and there were still 40 minutes before the apocalypse began.

It was not a big problem. Ling Yichen was well-prepared. He could even kill more zombies in the remaining 20 minutes to convert them into organic matter.

Currently, Ling Yichen could produce a total of five types of insects. They were worker bees, golden-backed mantises, black iron insects, sawtooth ants, and single-tailed scorpions. Each of them had their own uses. When he had an abundant supply of organic matter, they could be slowly produced.

At this moment, Ling Yichen’s sister, Ling Zixing, also returned home.

Ling Zixing came back on a bicycle. Calculating the time she took to travel, she took about one class period to go home.

Since young, Ling Zixing had been very obedient and thrifty. Ling Yichen knew that he could not persuade Ling Zixing to take a taxi home, so he did not persuade her from the beginning.

Ling Zixing was a little girl with twin ponytails. At 1.65 meters, she was considered quite tall. Although her figure had yet to grow, her exquisite appearance was very popular among her peers.

As soon as he saw Ling Zixing, Ling Yichen could not help but go forward and hug her.

“I miss you so much.”

He had never thought that he would see his sister again. Instead, they often met in his dreams. Now that the dream was real, he could not hold it in anymore.

This time, after being reborn, he swore that he would not let the tragedy repeat itself!

Ling Zixing’s face instantly turned red, but she did not push him away. Instead, she hugged Ling Yichen’s waist and comforted him.

After a long time, Ling Yichen finally let go of Ling Zixing.

“Here, try my cooking.”

This was the last meal before the apocalypse. After eating, the apocalypse would begin!

…

When the three hands of the clock that represented the changes of the times moved towards the twelve o’clock position at the same time, everything was changing.

All the creatures on Earth were undergoing a fundamental transformation. Animals and even plants were evolving in a way that biologists could not imagine.

At this moment of global evolution, humans had also changed greatly.

This scene was playing out in all the human cities around the world.

Countless people around them suddenly felt uncomfortable and found it difficult to breathe. In the end, they began to bite others like zombies!

These monsters were called zombies because they looked like zombies in movies.

The people who had been bitten also joined the ranks of the zombies. Their movements were slow, but they would bite at any time.

“Help!”

“F*ck! Is this a big movie? Where are the cameras?”

“Daughter, run! Don’t worry about me!”

“Where did the biochemical virus leak out from?!”

Such a scene was happening in all the cities around the world. Even those who stayed at home had to be prepared to be bitten and infected by their families.

The entire world fell into endless chaos when the clock struck twelve.

Other than zombies, there were also mutated creatures!

All the creatures in the world had evolved inexplicably. Half of the humans had become zombies, while the animals had stronger physiques and were even more ferocious!

Plants were also growing densely. The greenery on the streets of many cities seemed to have become towering ancient trees in a primitive forest!

Chaos and disorder had already begun to ferment in this world.

Faced with the sudden change of family members and the slaughter from their pets, the only overlord on Earth, the humans, suffered heavy casualties!

At the same time, some lucky people awakened their talents in the apocalypse!

Awakened ones began to appear in this world!

There were also some lucky ones who found the specialty of the apocalypse, the Origin Crystal!

However, the lucky ones were still the minority. Most people still had to face the tragedy of the apocalypse.
