Chapter 1: Never Let the Gods Know You Have Been Reborn
Daxia Empire.
Year 80 of the Daxia Era.
“Never let the gods know you have been reborn!”
“Never let the gods know you have been reborn!”
In a daze, Lin Yu opened his eyes, filled with confusion.
Faint voices echoed in his mind, gradually fading away.
“Where am I?”
Still bewildered, he glanced around.
It seemed he was in a hospital.
Suddenly, a sharp pain surged through his head.
Lin Yu touched it with his hand—it was bandaged.
Suddenly,
his pupils dilated, and his right hand, which was touching his head, froze in midair. “Am I not already dead? My soul was devoured by Xie Haoran, my talents stolen, and I perished!”
“What is going on now?”
As he pondered, another wave of intense pain struck his mind.
“Never let the gods know you have been reborn!”
That voice echoed again in his head, accompanied by a blurry vision.
In the vision, a silver-white coffin was bound by countless silver chains, sinking to the bottom of an unknown river.
But in that river, it wasn’t water that flowed—it was silver streams of light.
The image quickly dimmed, and the pain in Lin Yu’s mind faded away.
“What are the gods?”
“Have I really been reborn?”
After more than ten minutes, Lin Yu finally understood his situation.
He had indeed been reborn—after six years in the apocalypse, he had returned.
“Where’s my phone?”
“What time is it now?”
He hurriedly searched around and quickly found his phone in his pocket.
Unlocking the screen,
a familiar face appeared.
The phone’s wallpaper showed a radiant girl, like a sunny day. Her chin rested atop his head, her hands gently pinching his cheeks as she laughed heartily.
Comforting and warm.
“Xiao You, this time, your brother will find you and protect you. I promise!”
Lin Yu’s gaze swept to the top of the phone screen.
Daxia Era, Year 80, June 14.
His pupils contracted sharply upon seeing the date.
“Tomorrow is the 15th, and at midnight, the apocalypse will begin!”
A terrifying tide of undead, countless mutants, would bring fear, slaughter, and darkness to this world.
*Bang, bang—*
Lin Yu pounded his head hard, trying to clear the chaotic thoughts.
“That’s right, I fought that guy and got my head busted.”
He finally remembered.
Because of his girlfriend, he had gotten into a fight and both had ended up injured, lying in the hospital.
“No, it’s too late now. Only four hours remain until the apocalypse begins.”
“I must seize this chance of rebirth to rewrite the future and ascend to the peak of strength.”
Glancing at the phone’s time, a chill ran through him as he hurried to put on his shoes.
Suddenly,
he recalled the scoundrel from the fight.
Duan Yang, the class monitor from college, had schemed to break up Lin Yu and his girlfriend Su Yu.
He had plotted a shameless play.
He colluded with Su Yu’s cousin, Su Yan, using Su Yu’s plan to discuss marriage as a ruse to lure Lin Yu to a hotel.
Then they drugged him and seduced him, waiting for him to lose control and make a move on Su Yan, at which point Duan Yang would burst in to catch them red-handed.
Their goal was to destroy him completely with a “rape attempt” accusation.
“Such a pity…”
Lin Yu recalled what happened next with a bitter smile.
Later, as Su Yan led him to the hotel, Duan Yang, who was following behind, was involved in an accident—their car was hit.
The rest was obvious.
Under the powerful effect of the drugs, Lin Yu lost control and tormented Su Yan thoroughly, though the details were blurred by the drug’s strength.
In the end, their plot failed.
Su Yan refused to report the incident; she wouldn’t expose such ugliness.
But this vile woman, naked, embraced the sleeping Lin Yu and took a photo, sending it to Su Yu.
This caused Lin Yu and Su Yu to break up completely.
Furious, Lin Yu found the culprit Duan Yang yesterday and beat him badly.
As a result, both had ended up in the hospital.
“That bastard should be lying in the room next to mine now.”
Lin Yu’s eyes darkened unpredictably.
As the saying goes: A gentleman’s revenge is from dawn till dusk.
He was no longer who he used to be; now, having experienced six years of the apocalypse and returned through rebirth,
unfinished grudges from the past life must be settled in this one.
After a brief hesitation, Lin Yu made up his mind.
Just then, the hospital room door was pushed open.
A nurse entered carrying an IV drip and said, “Hey handsome, where are you going? Lie down, it’s time for your injection.”
Hearing this, Lin Yu’s expression changed.
As the nurse approached, he suddenly struck.
With a hand chop, he slammed hard on the back of her neck.
“Ouch! What are you doing?”
The nurse cried out in pain and turned to glare at Lin Yu.
“Uh…”
Lin Yu felt awkward; his pre-apocalypse body strength was weak, and he hadn’t knocked the nurse out.
“Sorry, I’ll try again, just a moment.”
“What did you say?”
The nurse’s eyes widened, still not reacting when another heavy strike landed on the back of her neck.
This time, no suspense—she immediately fainted.
Lin Yu hurriedly closed the door and laid the nurse on the bed, then began removing her clothes...
Soon, he stripped off the nurse’s uniform, revealing a slender and graceful figure.
Lin Yu couldn’t help but steal a glance.
He quickly muttered to himself, “With a clear heart, even if the sky falls, I remain unshaken.”
Then, averting his gaze, he removed her cap and mask.
He quickly changed into the nurse’s outfit.
“Luckily, this uniform is loose; otherwise, I wouldn’t fit into it,” Lin Yu muttered, hastily covering the unconscious nurse with a blanket before stepping out.
It was just past 7 p.m. The hospital wasn’t too crowded, and no one paid him much attention.
Lin Yu glanced outside the neighboring room.
Seeing the caregiver was absent, a smile flickered in his heart.
“Good opportunity!”
He quickly opened the door and stepped inside.
Looking at the man lying on the bed, also unconscious and wrapped like a mummy, Lin Yu gritted his teeth.
“The apocalypse is about to start. Maybe I should just kill him now.”
“No, I can’t. The midnight at 12 a.m. is crucial for seizing the apocalypse’s blessing. If I go too far now, the police will catch me. I must wait until noon tomorrow whenI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
