Back to before the villain destroyed the world [End Times]

Tuesday, June 2025, 6.

Countdown to the end of the world: 5 days.

Lu Zhenghan's awakening fever lasted for seven days and ended.

Early on Tuesday morning, Jian Xing and he packed up their things and called a car to go to Lu Zhenghan's family's holiday villa on the mountain.

Two days ago, Xu Shi, the class teacher, called and asked Jian Xing when to go to school for class, but Jian Xing found an excuse to prevaricate it.

The latent virus is about to break out, and it has been a few days to live a stable life. Jian Xing doesn't want to waste time in school, and can't take the college entrance examination after studying.

There was some traffic jam in the morning, the car Lu Zhenghan called didn't arrive late, and the two waited at the gate of the community.

Lu Zhenghan took his mobile phone and checked the driver's real-time distance.

Jian Xing looked at Ma Lu boredly.

A red private car slowed down and drove over, stopped at the gate of the community, followed by a young woman in business attire, she walked two meters quickly, then turned back suddenly, took out an identity tag from the car, put it on Then I walked quickly to the community.

When she passed by Jian Xing, Jian Xing caught a glimpse of the prefix on the identity card—Chongcheng No. [-] Middle School.

This woman turned out to be a teacher. She came to the community in such a hurry and put on her ID card on purpose. Maybe something happened to the students.

Jane Xing thought.

"The car is coming." Lu Zhenghan suddenly said.

"Oh, good." Jian Xing picked up the luggage bag on the ground.

Lu Zhenghan put away his phone, there was no reaction on his face, but his consciousness slowly spread, and he was precisely located on the seventh floor of the ninth building in the community, the home of the young man who killed his wife and daughter successively.

The man dismembered his wife and daughter separately, stored them in the refrigerator, and devoured the last piece of his wife and daughter's bones last night.

This female teacher will become the third one, Lu Zhenghan thought indifferently.

At the same moment when Jian Xing and Lu Zhenghan got into the car and left the gate of the complex, they were on the seventh floor of Building Nine.

The female teacher rang the doorbell and waited for a while, but no one came to open the door. She just took out her mobile phone and was about to call the parents of the students again, when the door clicked and opened a crack.

There was a strong smell of perfume in the room, mixed with some strange stink.

The female teacher clutched the phone nervously, and said politely, "Are you Lin Ling's parents?"

There was no echo in the room, only an open, dark door.

The female teacher's scalp tensed up, and she wanted to leave immediately, but she was really worried when she thought of the students who had lost contact for several days.

I stood at the door and opened the door to take a look—she said to herself in her heart, if you don’t go in, just take a look outside the door.

The female teacher carefully raised her hand and pushed open the half-hidden door.

The lights in the room were not turned on, the curtains were closed tightly, and it was dark, only the dim light from the corridor came in, illuminating the entrance.

There was no one in the hallway, and a pair of women's shoes that the female teacher was familiar with were randomly placed on the floor of the hallway. She recognized that they were her students' favorite sneakers.

"Lin Ling?" The female teacher called out to the inside, looking into the depths of the living room.

There was no one in the living room, and the floor was dark, as if it had been splashed with a large amount of stains.

The female teacher's heart was beating fast, and she wanted to call the police immediately. Just after pressing two numbers, the door panel was suddenly pulled open by something, and a dark hand stretched out quickly, grabbed the female teacher's arm, and dragged her into the room.

"Ah—" The female teacher's scream was covered by the loud closing sound, and there were only a few muffled sounds in the room, and then there was complete silence.

Next door, the neighbor vaguely heard a scream. She opened the door and took a look.

The corridor was quiet and unoccupied, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

Probably some couple was quarreling again, and the neighbors closed the door as usual.

The vacation villa that Lu Zhenghan mentioned is not a villa, but a manor, and there is a plaque on the gate, the name is Yuxi Manor.

The location is in a private mountain forest, there are only three manors in total, Yuxi Manor is in the middle of the three manors, and the hilltop manor is bigger and more expensive. It is said that the owner is a big man.

The environment here is pleasant, the location is remote, few people come here, and it is located on a high place. It is a very suitable dwelling place in the last days, but it is a pity that Jian Xing and Lu Zhenghan cannot settle here.

The virus is just the first wave. After three months, the alien warship will arrive. By then, the flames of war will spread to every place, and only the official base can compete with it.

So he and Lu Zhenghan had to follow the large force into the resettlement camp when the virus first broke out, while the authorities still had the power to search and rescue a large area.

The manor is regularly maintained, and a fruit basket has been placed in the living room in advance, but there are no other biological items, so Jian Xing and Lu Zhenghan have to buy them by themselves.

The scenery here is good, but it is inconvenient to travel, you need a car.

Jian Xing can drive, but he doesn't have a driver's license and cannot go on the road.

Lu Zhenghan called the car up, and the two of them went to the membership supermarket, and bought half a truckload of things, plus two bicycles. Because of the large volume of goods, the supermarket directly arranged a car for Lu Zhenghan to deliver to the gate of the manor.

The delivery man was only responsible for moving the things down, not for moving them into the house. The things piled up half the doorway. Jian Xing and Lu Zhenghan worked hard to carry them for a long time, and finally packed up all the things.

Jian Xing made dinner by himself. Liu Yuping asked him to cook the rice when he was very young, so he basically knew home-cooked dishes.

Jian Xing made two dishes and one soup, the taste was the best that Lu Zhenghan had ever tasted.

After the high fever subsided, Lu Zhenghan's diet returned to normal on the surface. He would no longer be unable to eat ordinary food, nor would he be extremely craving for raw meat.

It's just that I occasionally think of the disgusting taste of raw meat.

Thursday, June 2025, 6.

Countdown to outbreak, 3 days.

After staying in the manor house for a day, Jian Xing still decided to take Lu Zhenghan out for a stroll before the end of the world, as the last date between him and Lu Zhenghan before the end of the world.Although the two are still just classmates.

Jian Xing decided to go to a century-old temple called Lingshan Temple.

The straight-line distance from the villa is seven kilometers.

seven in the morning.

Jian Xing and Lu Zhenghan packed up and went out, they were going to cycle to the temple.

The bicycle was parked under the pomegranate tree in the yard of the manor. When Jian Xing went to push the cart, he saw a green grass field beside the tree, and couldn't help but said: "This place feels like it can be used to grow vegetables."

He and Lu Zhenghan chatted casually: "When the apocalypse breaks out, we will turn all these lawns into vegetable fields, grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and green leafy vegetables, and then realize the freedom to eat vegetables in the apocalypse."

Lu Zhenghan glanced at the neatly planned yard, nodded and said, "Okay."

Jian Xing laughed: "I'll just talk casually."

Lu Zhenghan glanced at Jian Xing, with a very calm expression on his face, wondering if he understood Jian Xing's casual joke.

The journey to the temple was farther than Jian Xing expected, and the two of them rode for a long time before arriving at the foot of the temple mountain.

Jian Xing was tired and thirsty, so she found a small restaurant nearby to eat.

It happened to be meal time, and the restaurant was full of diners. Jian Xing and Lu Zhenghan were lucky enough to find a newly vacated table.

Two aunts and two children sat at the table opposite them. One of the little girls had crippled arms, no palms, only round, bald wrists.

The little girl was wearing a pink princess dress, with a pink Peppa balloon tied to her wrist. She was sitting in her grandmother's arms, playing with the balloon string with her other bald wrist.

When Jian Xing looked at her, she tilted her head to glance at Jian Xing, and then showed a curious and innocent smile.

But her grandmother had a sad face, and she was chatting with her aunt opposite about worshiping Buddha.

It was also from the mouths of these two aunts that Jian Xing learned that the temple was temporarily closed, saying that it was under repair, and it would not open until three days later.

The little girl was still looking at Jian Xing and smiling at him.

Jian Xing made a funny face to tease her.

The little girl leaned against her grandmother's arms and giggled loudly.

Lu Zhenghan glanced at Jian Xing, then turned back to look at the little girl, his face was cold, his eyes were also cold, the little girl shrank into her grandmother's arms in fright, turned her head away and stopped smiling at Jian Xing.

Jian Xing said: "Don't scare people."

Lu Zhenghan: "...what do you eat?"

He pushed the menu to Jian Xing and asked him to order.

"Did you hear the conversation between the two mothers-in-law just now?" Jian Xing said while flipping through the menu, "The temple is closed and you can't get in."

Lu Zhenghan conveniently arranged the pepper jars and salt jars on the table in a straight line.

"Then what are we doing this afternoon?"

Jian Xing thought for a while: "There is an ancient town near here, you can go and have a look, although the reviews say it is a fake ancient town."

After ordering, wait for the meal.

Jian Xing started flipping through today's news.

Sure enough, a certain district of a certain city began to blockade today. The official reason given was the outbreak of a new type of epidemic, but there are different opinions on the Internet. Some people worry that the epidemic will spread to the whole country and even the world. Not because of a pandemic, but because a lot of people are turning into cannibals.

Jian Xing also saw a video, which was shot against the curtains, and the background sound was full of gunshots. It was not until the last two seconds of the video that the camera was moved outside the window.

Outside, there are heavily armed armed police.

While Jian Xing was looking at his mobile phone, Lu Zhenghan suddenly turned his head and looked at a room on the third floor of the neighborhood across the street.

The curtains of that room were tightly closed, and from the outside, it was just an ordinary building with curtains drawn.

But Lu Zhenghan could see in the room through his consciousness that there was a man with a swollen body, his face was raised high, his facial features were completely deformed, his eyeballs were so protruding that they almost fell out, his nose was turned up, revealing huge nostrils, like a pig's nose , and underneath is a mouth full of fangs.

A stainless steel collar was tied around his neck, and the iron chain on the collar was tied to the security window and stretched into a straight iron wire.

In front of the man, there was a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe, waving a mahogany sword in his hand, and was muttering a spell to the man.

In the other corner of the room, stood a middle-aged woman covering her face and crying.

The Taoist brandished a wooden sword and poked the man on the forehead. He stomped his feet repeatedly and was about to recite a spell when the man who was tied up suddenly ran away and jumped up with an angry shout. The window post creaked and bent instantly, causing the entire window to shake.

"Jane Xing." Lu Zhenghan said suddenly, "We have to go back."

He stood up, and after a moment of silence, he said a classic excuse in TV dramas.

"I forgot to lock the door."
