Chapter 1, Immortal for the Second Time

What is there to say? They deserve to be beaten, they should be hit, hit hard!

Zhang Mu returned to his rented room, which consisted of a living room and a bedroom. The space was small but clean and tidy, with nothing of significant value aside from the computer he used for his daily writing. Zhang Mu was originally from Yancheng, majoring in Chinese at Jiangcheng University. At 21 years old, he was in his fourth year and currently interning at a magazine in Jiangcheng

Zhang Mu's gaze became as sharp and piercing as a blade, "Do you think Huang Kai is stronger than me?"

No need, you may speak freely

Sun Lin stood under the streetlight, wearing a beige T-shirt and cropped jeans, with her golden curls cascading over her shoulders. She carried an expensive handbag, exuding youthful beauty and radiance, drawing the attention of passersby. However, upon seeing Zhang Mu approaching, her beautiful face was overshadowed by a layer of frost.

Sun Lin cried out in panic, attracting several passersby nearby, who gathered not far away and began to discuss among themselves

"Do you think of me as a softie? Are you proud of your father, the director?" Zhang Mu pressed the bruised Huang Kai to the ground, gripping his arm from behind, and said in his usual calm tone: "Come on, call me 'dad,' and I will let you go immediately"

Cold, so cold, life is slipping away, and consciousness is gradually becoming blurred

Change into a different outfit, put on a baseball cap, and head out immediately

Where is this

Zhang Mu sighed softly and said, "You are right; everyone has the right to pursue a better life, and this is beyond reproach. However, you should not treat my dignity as a stepping stone to climb to greater heights"

How can this be considered a fight

Huang Kai exclaimed in shock, "What are you doing, are you out of your mind!" He was half a head taller than Zhang Mu and had a strong physique. At that moment, he was yanked out of the car like a punching bag and fell heavily to the ground

The familiar face that once haunted my dreams reappears before my eyes. There is a feeling akin to being separated by a lifetime; although time can dilute emotions and blood can render one numb, encountering the same scene inevitably stirs a few threads of sorrow and desolation, especially knowing what is about to happen with hetushucomcom. If memory serves me right, I have recently been writing a horror novel, as the atmosphere of the night more easily inspires creativity, which is why I work through the night and sleep during the day.

Why would the deceased be reborn in the past

Zhang Mu lifted Huang Kai, pressed his head against the car, and then raised his hand to deliver a left hook, knocking out two of Huang Kai's teeth. Following that, with a powerful right punch, he nearly broke Huang Kai's prominent nose.

Once a thriving metropolis, it has now become a paradise for monsters

A female voice came from the phone: "Where are you?"

Zhang Mu will not tolerate a second insult, nor does he wish to die a second time

Zhang Mu kicked the unconscious Huang Kai and said, "Good son!"

Let us break up

"Do you understand? This is for the best; I don't want to hide it anymore." Sun Lin seemed to deliberately raise her voice, attracting strange glances from many passersby. "You are diligent and ambitious, and you are also steady and cautious, but you lack passion. While you may provide a sense of security, this era does not lack safety. Today's girls seek passion and romance. I feel that you do not understand life, nor do you understand love, so I am not prepared to continue this!" While you may provide a sense of security, this era does not lack safety. Today's girls seek passion and romance. I feel that you do not understand life, nor do you understand love, so I am not prepared to continue this!"

***

Those who only wish to rely on others to live will always be mere accessories. It is better to take fate into one's own hands than to leave it to others. Sun Lin, this is my final advice to you; from now on, we shall have no further relations. " Zhang Mu raised his head to gaze at the night sky and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "This sky is about to change, take care of yourself.

Zhang Mu looked around and finally his gaze fell on the mirror across from him. The mirror reflected a young face, with thick and disheveled black hair. The appearance could not be described as handsome, but the features were well-defined, with a very delicate expression. The complexion was somewhat pale, and the face was covered in cold sweat, resembling someone who had just awoken from a nightmare.

The night envelops the vast land, and the moonlight illuminates the lingering death, presenting a grim scene of mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. The remnants of magic still flicker, pulsating with despair. On the blood-soaked battlefield, there are no human figures left, yet monsters number in the thousands.

A streak of snow white appears in the eastern sky, heralding the approach of dawn, and the break of day signifies an end

Zhang Mu grabbed Huang Kai's other hand and said, "You still have one arm and two legs. I will give you three seconds."

The great writer slept for a day

Sun Lin is waiting downstairs; the matters that need to be faced must always be confronted

Sun Lin screamed, "Stop!"

Like a fleeting moment, yet akin to enduring a long century. The silent consciousness was suddenly pulled back from the abyss, all sensations returned to the body, and abruptly, I sat up from the bed.

Huang Kai secretly pursued Sun Lin for half a month without anyone knowing. Today, he successfully confessed his feelings and, with a mindset of watching a good show, came to see Sun Lin break up with Zhang Mu. He then drove his new car to publicly pick up the woman, eager to appreciate her look of despair. Sun Lin was also happy to treat this as a token of loyalty, which is why she actively catered to Huang Kai's intentions.

The security guard found him downstairs, inquiring about Zhang Mu's residence. He passed by the guard nonchalantly, turned into a dark corner, and climbed over the wall to leave the community. As he walked along the bustling and noisy street, his mind remained unsettled. This was because he still had not grasped the situation.

Zhang Mushi took a deep breath and asked calmly, "Is it because of Huang Kai?"

Zhang Mu contemplated briefly before dressing and going downstairs

Zhang Mu displayed little expression, his dark eyes resembling a bottomless cold pool, calm yet profound. His demeanor was truly unexpected, perhaps excessively calm, to the point of being somewhat frightening. Those deep-set eyes seemed capable of seeing into the hearts of others, instilling in Sun Lin a sense of foreboding.

Sun Lin, with a blank expression, glanced to the side and said in a neutral tone, "Some words have been hidden in my heart for a long time. Shall we find a place to sit down and talk?"

Huang Kai wept bitterly, cried out three times, and fainted from the pain

Zhang Mu was half-buried in a pile of corpses, his entire body drenched and resembling someone just pulled from a pool of blood. A fatal wound extended from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, nearly cleaving him in two

Zhang Muxin is sinking, "at home"

Sun Lin hung up the phone abruptly, and Zhang Mu listened to the dead air, his thoughts beginning to spiral into confusion. The identical situation made Zhang Mu realize a serious issue: those may not be dreams; everything could happen, everything could repeat.

My rental house? Zhang Mu touched his intact body, revealing an expression of disbelief. "Am I not already dead?"

July 16, 2015

Indeed! Sun Lin locked eyes with the cold gaze, feeling as if she were plunging into an ice cave. She had never encountered such a terrifying look before, and hurriedly said: "You need to understand, I don't owe you anything. If I find a better life, as a man, you should graciously wish me well!"

A total of four million humans have perished completely

If there was still a glimmer of hope just a moment ago, then now one can be certain of the reality of everything

It was likely the sound of breathing that attracted the monster's attention, as a heavy footfall approached. Soon, a hulking figure stood before me, blocking the light of dawn. The monster was three meters tall, with dark greenish skin, menacing fangs, large eyes like brass bells, and wielded a spiked club stained with red and white substances.

I am downstairs

Or, it is not what is referred to as rebirth

It was merely due to a special opportunity that Zhang Mu was fortunate enough to foresee the future. He is akin to a player who has participated in the internal testing of the game; two months of intense combat served as a special training. This has equipped him with a wealth of valuable intelligence, and his psychological resilience has been honed, placing him at a starting line that is ahead of any other player

Sun Lin understands him very well. His unfortunate childhood experiences have shaped his unique personality. Zhang Mu is not good with words; he enjoys reading and writing. Since high school, he has been a somewhat well-known writer, specializing in suspense and horror novels. His writing fees cover all his university expenses, satisfy Sun Lin's extravagant spending, replace old appliances at home, and even buy a new computer for his younger sister who just started college. In the eyes of others at mhetushucomcom, he is an introverted yet gentle person. He does not show his emotions, and his thinking is meticulous and nuanced. When faced with difficulties, he may appear calm on the surface, but he is often brewing a good response plan in his mind.

Huang Kai shouted angrily: "Bastard, do you know who I am? My father is the director. If you dare to harm a single hair on my head, I will immediately kill your entire family..."

Why not come up

At zero o'clock, the game will start on time

Father! Father! Father!

Zhang Mu lost consciousness

Is everything just a nightmare

The ogre found the barely surviving survivor and could not help but reveal a cruel grin, raising the spiked club and bringing it down heavily.

The night air is slightly cool, shrouded in a thin mist, with a hint of crimson emanating from the streetlights. The world seems to be immersed in a fog of blood, permeated by a strange atmosphere

Sun Lin was completely stunned, "You... you are really crazy!"

In just over seventy days, the entire population of Jiangcheng was completely exterminated

It is undeniable that Zhang Mu is a very outstanding man, but in terms of conditions, he is far inferior to Huang Kai. The Huang family holds considerable prestige in Jiangcheng, with a lineage of high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants, possessing both financial power and a solid family background. Sun Lin is a girl with an inherently vain nature, unwilling to miss the opportunity to rise to prominence, which is why she wants to make Zhang Mu completely give up hope

Approximately one hundred meters away, a black BMW is parked by the roadside

Sun Lin felt a bit flustered: "What... what are you talking about..."

Huang Kai was furious: "I curse you... ah!" The last words barely left his mouth when a sharp "crack" was heard as his left arm was cleanly and decisively broken. This brutal act frightened the onlookers, and someone had already called the police.

Huang Kai lay on the ground like a dead dog, not moving at all, while Sun Lin stared blankly at Zhang Mu's departing figure. This man, who was usually gentle and introverted, surprisingly had such a strong and domineering side, leaving Sun Lin's heart in turmoil, her emotions becoming exceptionally complex, as if she had lost something precious forever

Huang Kai was stunned and had not yet made any attempt to resist. Zhang Mu forcefully raised his knee and struck Huang Kai in the abdomen, nearly causing him to vomit his dinner. Zhang Mu then raised his hand and delivered several slaps, leaving Huang Kai disoriented and unable to distinguish between directions. His cheeks burned painfully, swollen like a pig's head.

I cannot, come down, I have something to say to you, I will hang up first

The wealthy second-generation individual stole someone else's girlfriend and got beaten up

Zhang Mu rushed up like a gust of wind, yanked open the car door, and pulled out a fashionable young man wearing silver earrings

Take a few deep breaths and calm down first. The electronic clock on the wall shows the time as 21:30. If my memory serves me right, there are only two and a half hours left until the game starts. Of course, it could just be a coincidence. At this moment, a familiar ringing sound echoes in my ears.

Zhang Mu's speech was always measured and unhurried. "As for whether you think a man who instructs a woman to speak while he himself shrinks back is stronger than I am, then from a man's perspective, I indeed have a responsibility to take some actions"

Zhang Mu's heart suddenly felt a chill, and the once vague memories became clear again... He realized that this was exactly the same as he remembered. The call was made by Sun Lin, who was Zhang Mu's university girlfriend, at least for now? If he guessed correctly, Sun Lin's first question after the call connected should be: Where are you?

She felt a bit flustered and, without waiting for the other person to speak, said: "Indeed, I used to like you, but after we dated, I realized you are not my type. Huang Kai is generous and cheerful; he can provide me with everything I want, unlike you, who only knows how to stay in your room and type on the keyboard! Feelings cannot be forced; I hope you understand!"

A few onlookers not only did not intervene but instead cheered with delight. People often harbor a resentment towards the wealthy and tend to sympathize with the disadvantaged in life. Upon understanding the course of events, they chose to watch with indifference

Who would have thought that Zhang Mu could recognize Huang Kai's new car, and who would have imagined that the usually mild-mannered Zhang Mu, who remains calm and composed in the face of challenges, would actually do something so reckless in public
