Chapter 1, Rebirth

Looking at myself in the mirror, my frail body lacks the strength I once had

Wen Yu lives on the third floor. After opening the door, he discovered that the door opposite was slightly ajar, and strange sounds of puffing were coming from inside

May 25, 2017, this is when the apocalypse began, it was a year ago, could it be that I have been reborn? I have been reborn, haha, hahahaha, hahahahahaha ... ...

Wen Yu immediately straightened his body and stood directly beside the mirror at the edge of his bed

Instant noodles are quite abundant, and in addition, there is a small jar of fermented bean curd

In the community, the source of the screams was suddenly revealed: a newlywed couple, who had just gotten married, began to display their affection in the square of the community.

Helplessly, I picked up the fruit knife on the table and gently scraped the tip of the knife with my hand. "Having something is better than having nothing, isn't it? Even if it's a fruit knife that struggles to cut an apple."

When the cannon fodder team led by Wen Yu made contact with the target organism, they simultaneously faced as many as 30 third-level mutated organisms

Suddenly, a piercing scream shattered the tranquility of the community

The man tightly embraced his wife, passionately kissing his "beloved" on the cheek. This was originally a beautiful act, provided there were no bits of flesh and blood in the man's mouth

For Wen Yu, who has survived for a year in the apocalypse, such lowly creatures completely fail to evoke any sense of fear in him

As for Wenyu himself, he was a hundred meters away from the trap when his head was smashed by that fifth-level mutated beast and the *book*.

As long as humanity can overcome the fear mentality and possesses a weapon strong enough to penetrate a zombie's skull, even a single woman can kill several zombies in succession

When Wenyu understood the situation and turned to flee, one third of the entire cannon fodder squad had already been torn apart

Then, after three seconds, Wenyu felt disappointed

The more Wenyu looked at his own body, the more familiar it felt, as if he were in the same state he was before his job change

Shouldering his backpack and lifting his spear, Wenyu slowly opened a crack in the door, ensuring that there was no danger in the corridor, and then gradually opened the door.

Wen Yu let out a sigh, looking at the zombie lying on the ground. He drew out his spear, and a spray of filthy blood flowed out from the wound.

Having looked at the food I have stored, as a lifelong single person, an orphan without parents, and a homebody who spends all day with a computer

The so-called hunting team is merely a third-rate squad in a third-rate gathering place, and the strongest member of the team, Wen Yu himself, is just a newly promoted level 2 warrior

Wen Yu's laughter grew louder and more frenzied. As she recalled the tragic fate of her past life as a cannon fodder, she laughed and laughed, until tears slowly began to flow.

In the previous life, I relied on two boxes of instant noodles in the house to successfully survive for a month

The rental unit is inherently small, and there is naturally no space to accommodate another kitchen, so Wen Yu would not find items such as a vegetable knife or a meat cleaver in the house

This scene, Wen Yu had seen in his previous life as it was the first image he encountered when the apocalypse arrived

Then, lure it into the trap set by the main battle team. The enormous rewards and sharp blades left Wen Yu unable to refuse this deadly mission

Wen Yu quietly opened the door to the opposite room and saw the originally kind old man with his back to him, fiercely biting into his old companion.

Wen Yu let out a deep sigh

Help, someone has been killed

The sound of the door opening may have disturbed the zombies who were dining. The elderly zombie slowly turned his head, his pale pupils fixated intently on the fully armed Wen Yu

"Damn it, that sounds so creepy."

Ding, one level 0 zombie has been killed, earning one point.

Wen Yu meticulously packed his belongings, placing several packets of instant noodles into his backpack, along with a few bottles of mineral water and several sausages

Could it be? Wen Yu seemed to have thought of something, suddenly darting to the computer and carefully examining the date displayed on the screen

Before I starved to death, I waited for the survivor team that came to search for supplies, and thus began my year-long journey as cannon fodder

Ah ... ...

If I could live my life over again, would I still become a weak pawn? Would I still accept the exploitation and disdain of the strong? Would I once again endure such a wretched existence?

Just now, Wenyu and his hunting team were carrying out a mission

The widely accepted view in later generations is that with the opening of the demon realm passage and the leakage of demonic energy, some humans who lack antibodies in their bodies have mutated into these decayed and filthy monsters

This, this is ... ...

"Absolutely not, absolutely not, absolutely not!" Wen Yu shouted frantically, believing this to be the heavens' favor and a blessing bestowed upon him

These are the basic supplies that I will take with me. Then I found a mop, kicked off its head a few times, and tightly bound the handle with a fruit knife, resulting in a makeshift spear freshly crafted, though its actual combat effectiveness remains to be verified

Wen Yu naturally understood the principle that the first move is crucial, and with a sudden flying kick, he knocked down the zombie, forcefully stepping on its body

Heaven, are you playing with me again? What happened to the promised benefits for the reincarnators? There are no benefits; even a usable weapon would suffice. No matter how much Wen Yu complains, the current situation is just like this

A rather good elderly couple. It is better to help you find relief. Wen Yu has already understood that a tragedy has befallen the kind old couple next door

Taking five minutes to acknowledge and accept the fact of one's rebirth already indicates a strong psychological resilience

Wen Yu paid no attention to the cries of the zombies, adjusted his angle, and thrust the spear forcefully into the eye socket of the zombie. The zombie on the ground twitched a couple of times and then lay still.

At this point, Wenyu can only find some solace in a fruit knife

What the hell is wrong with you

The zombie struggled incessantly, yet was unable to overturn Wen Yu's strength, its bloodied mouth continuously emitting roars

Putting on my autumn clothes and pants, I also found some discarded books and magazines, which I wrapped around my wrists; these became my armor

And now, the body before me appears delicate and weak, resembling an ordinary older brother from the neighbor's house

Then, when Wenyu thought he should prepare some supplies and weapons, the apocalypse had already kissed his smooth forehead

Then, when Wenyu opened his eyes again, what he witnessed was the small rental apartment where he had lived for three years

However, it is only a matter of mental preparation; I have just been reborn for five minutes, is that acceptable

Unfortunately, cannon fodder can never change its essence as cannon fodder

For a team of this level, in the apocalypse, everyone knows that this is an entire squad of cannon fodder

It is important to note that in the past, although I was merely a cannon fodder, I still possessed the strength of a second-rate warrior, with a physical power of at least around 1 ton, and my entire body was muscular and robust.

What is going on here

Zombies, the harbingers of the apocalypse

Countless shouts of abuse emanated from within the building, and many expressed strong protests against the sudden cries of anguish that were heard.

Although they appear terrifying and disgusting, in reality, these zombies are among the weakest creatures in the early days of the apocalypse. Corrupted by demonic energy, their bodies suffer from the softening and collapse of muscle tissue, rendering these zombies significantly inferior to humans in both strength and speed

What is going on, is there no consideration for people's rest

Husband, what is wrong? Husband, don't bite me, ah, ah...

And the aunt stared wide-eyed, gazing blankly at the ceiling

Looking at the familiar rental apartment before him and feeling his intact body, Wenyu's thoughts inevitably returned to just a moment ago

Ding ding ding, ding ding ding

At that moment, Wen Yu looked at the blood and eyeballs splattering everywhere and vomited on the ground. In this life, Wen Yu could only silently mutter to himself: "Damn it"

Wen Yu suddenly had a bad premonition, quickly locked the door of his house, found a table and swiftly barricaded it at the entrance, then hurried to the window to look down.

Wen Yu is aware that the apocalypse is approaching and has made ample psychological preparations for its arrival

The so-called task is, of course, a task of cannon fodder level... to attract the attention of a level 5 mutated beast

Wen Yu carefully examined his small rental apartment, trying to find an object that could be considered a weapon

However, the cries of anguish not only did not cease, but instead grew increasingly intense, echoing not only from downstairs in the community but also from the hallways and within the residences, where various screams and roars could be heard

Wen Yu slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness returning to his body with the sound of the alarm clock by the bedside

Less than ten minutes after the mutation, the blood within the zombie had already noticeably darkened. Wen Yu silently mourned for a moment in his heart, then approached the unsightly corpse and thrust a spear into the head of the dead body
