Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

No, I can't just sit there and do nothing. Yu Xiaowei turned over and sat up: Where is my phone? Where did I put it?

She searched for her cell phone from her bag and dialed Ran Zechen's name and number directly from the address book.

To Yu Xiaowei's surprise, it wasn't him who called her. Ran Zechen was on his way to the security checkpoint when her call interrupted his progress.

The moment I answered the phone, You Xiaowei's anxious voice rang in my ears: "Ran Zechen, you have to take care of yourself. If it is convenient, remember to prepare more food and drinks in the next week, prepare some defensive weapons, and remember to avoid going to the hospital as much as possible."

After saying these words of advice, You Xiaowei hung up the phone, but she began to repeatedly ask herself in her heart, was her choice correct? When the world is coming to an end, Ran Zechen, who may be favored by fate, will wonder why she knew the omen earlier. But she has already set off and can no longer change her words.

Whether they can meet again in the future is still unknown, but she has done her best. At least her heart is at peace - no regrets. On the other side, Ran Zechen was listening to the echo of the phone in surprise - the "beep" kept coming, wondering why You Xiaowei was so anxious to tell him all this at that moment.

But in any case, the warning about going to the hospital occupied an important position in his mind. Looking at his watch, he had sorted out his mood and re-checked security to prepare for boarding.

After she hung up the phone, You Xiaowei finally fell into a light sleep, in her dream, all kinds of scenes about the end of the world were in chaos. She suddenly opened her eyes, this was the right time, because she had another extremely important thing to complete.

Looking back at her only sincere and friendly friend in her previous life, Gong Yuqing, who was also her best friend for many years, they had many close exchanges and contacts in life and studies as neighbors and alumni.

In the second year of junior high school, the family moved to Haijin City because of Mr. Gong's job transfer, and the two people's interactions gradually decreased. In the second half of the first year of high school, You Xiaowei learned that her parents had been in a car accident. At that time, Gong Yuqing tried to contact her and asked her to move to Haijin City, but she did not accept the invitation. She was full of gratitude to Gong Yuqing for caring about her every day and sharing news.

When the end came, she went through numerous hardships and arrived at "Ping An Ji", where she met Gong Yuqing and her family. Although the environment was equally harsh and difficult at that time, they still showed her excellent care.

But that day, she got separated from the team while searching for supplies and unfortunately parted ways with them. When Gong Yuqing and her father returned, they were surrounded by zombies, and in the end, she could not escape the fate of being killed by the beasts. However, in the last moments, Gong Yuqing gave her encouragement and advice: "You Xiaowei, don't be sad, you must stay strong and live. Also, please remember to treat my mother well after this."

This decision hidden deep in her heart made her want to truly take care of Gong Mama and treat her as the last relative in her life, but Gong Mama's extreme sadness triggered her healing superpowers. This turn of events is something she will never forget, recalling and sighing in the dead of night, and this power has become an inseparable bridge of memory between Gong mother and daughter.

This kind of pure healing ability is very rare. It can not only alleviate the damage caused by fighting, but can even eliminate some zombie viruses. Therefore, many people have a strong desire for a person with such a pure healing ability. However, Ms. Gong was not very clear-headed at the time and often thought that she was Gong Youqing. In order to protect her, she did not publicize her treatment method.

Her mistake originated from her previous life, when she believed the words of a scumbag. Because she didn't want him to turn into an inhuman monster after being attacked, she took Gong Mama to treat Yang. However, this secret was still known by others. When Gong Mama left home, Xiaowei kept asking for his help, but got the answer: "I did this to protect my mother." He thought that Xiaowei could not properly protect such an important person with abilities, and it would be safer to have the assistance of the team. This made Xiaowei choose to believe, but eventually heard the news of Gong's death within a month. She died due to excessive punishment from the team commander due to emotional out-of-control.

Assuming that among the people who want someone to die the most in this life, the first one is Cha Yang, followed by the team leader, and the people she wants to protect must include Gong Youqing and her family. When she was reborn, she had foreseen that if she rashly contacted the other party, how much trust would she get? Especially when this world is about to face the end, even if she trusted her at the beginning, this trust may gradually diminish over time.

But now there are only a dozen days left until the end. No matter what, she must do her best to make Gong Youqing trust her during this critical period. Looking up to check the current time, Xiaowei took a deep breath and dialed Gong Youqing's phone number.

Dialogue section:

From the other side, came a voice mixed with joy and familiarity: "Xiaowei, wow! I miss you so much. We haven't seen each other for so long, and you haven't called me or replied to my message during this period? What have you been busy with?"

"Again, I've been busy with some things lately and don't have much time to surf the Internet." When Xiaowei heard the long-lost voice, tears welled up in her eyes.

For Gong Youqing, they had only temporarily stopped contacting each other for about two months, but in Xiaowei's memory, it had been a full four years since they last heard each other's voice.

"I know, I know. I haven't even congratulated you yet after seeing that you won the Young Gourmet Chef of the Year award. Xiaowei, you're awesome! I'm so proud of you. Hehe, when we meet in the future, I'll count on you to take care of and create all the good things."

Although they have been friends for many years, she still retains her original lively and cheerful image, and deep in her heart Xiaowei has silently vowed: this time she will protect this good friend well.

"Again, I'm calling today because I have something important to tell you."

"You are saying this so seriously. Did something happen to you? It doesn't matter. I will be with you no matter what happens. Don't be afraid." Youqing replied firmly.

"Youqing, maybe you think my words are not credible, but I will do my best to make sure you believe my words..."

When talking about his medal, Xiaowei accidentally heard an important piece of information from others - the fact that the end of the world is coming. He was skeptical at first, but under the influence of some very real dreams recently, he began to doubt this matter.

【Imitation】

Li Minghao suggested: "After the rain stops tomorrow, you may think that I am just imagining the beautiful scenery, but this is indeed a dream that is real to the bone. And it has become clearer recently, as if some kind of intuition is guiding me. I don't ask for much, but I hope to ask you to help. Ask your father to strengthen the car and store some long-lasting food at home for use. Even if you don't need it, you can enjoy it gradually."

At first, Minghao heard Ziqi's suggestion in a joking tone. But as her tone gradually became closer to pleading, Minghao couldn't help but be slightly startled.

"Ziqi, even though you think I'm being overly dramatic, there is no such thing as 'certain things' in reality. I will ask my parents to prepare some long-lasting food. Just like you think, even if we are not facing danger, there is always a day to be prepared."

Hearing her friend's reply, Ziqi finally felt relieved. "Minghao, thank you for your trust. I have indeed felt this way recently, and I am very grateful that you can understand me."

Ziqi replied gratefully. "Look, such polite words. We have grown up together since childhood. Even if this is just your dream, you have thought about it carefully for us. We will make some preparations to prevent risks that have not yet occurred."

Finally, the two talked about their dynamics during this period, and Ziqi ended the call with a hint of reluctance.

After she regained her composure, she changed her clothes and entered the martial arts hall. Her original dissatisfaction with Chang Yuchen occupying her training ground had faded. With his departure, she felt an inexplicable emptiness in her heart.

In between self-training, she realized that the world was gradually moving towards a countdown state and needed to work harder to adapt. At the end of the fifth day, Ma Boyan made an unexpected call.

"Master, where have you been all this time? I don't care whether you manage your apprentice or not, but I really hope you care about the martial arts school."

Unexpectedly, Ma Boyan did not ask about her martial arts progress these days. Instead, he asked softly, "Girl, prepare some food and necessary items these days, don't show up at the martial arts hall, and don't go out casually. Maybe in a few days, something unexpected will happen."

Chapter 14 The mysterious conspiracy of the family

When Ziqi heard Ma Boyan's words, she was stunned: How did the master know that something would happen? As a person who had reborn, she had foreseen everything six days ago - including the horrible end of the world six days later.

Six days later, in the early morning, although it was autumn, it snowed unexpectedly, and the whole world was covered in snow. The news station fully reported the information about the heavy snow, but shockingly, such pure snow that symbolized peace was not a blessing, but brought an unprecedented crisis - the outbreak of a deadly plague virus. On this day, the virus ruthlessly infected many innocent people. After a night of infection and ravage, the virus spread rapidly.
