Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 956 Everything I've experienced feels like I've just woken up from a long dream.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Lord? Are you there, Lord?"

"A large number of zombies are attacking the base relentlessly, and we urgently need your decision!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Too noisy! Chu Xin frowned, tossing and turning several times before finally managing to sit up, her mind a jumbled mess, as if she were restarting a computer.

It took me a long time to open my eyes, and I was immediately stunned.

Everything before my eyes looks so familiar.

The room was dimly lit, with an oversized leather sofa and an extravagantly designed coffee table piled high with various items and a dazzling array of wines. Further back, through a transparent glass wall, one could see a large, round bathtub, behind which was a mirror, where her reflection was gazing at her.

This is... her bedroom in the apocalypse?

Chu Xin was startled and jumped off the bed. She blinked several times at the mirror, then raised her hand and waved it. Seeing that the person in the mirror was doing the same thing, she finally realized that she was not dreaming.

Has she traveled back in time again?

Thinking of something, she hurriedly touched her back, but there was nothing there. Then she looked down at her hands. There were thin calluses on her palms and the base of her thumb, her knuckles were protruding, and there were various small scars on the back of her hands. These were her own hands.

So her body had already died in that world, and only then did her soul return?

For a moment, Chu Xin was still reeling. This bizarre experience had an even stronger aftereffect than when she first transmigrated, and she couldn't accept that everything she had experienced was like a dream.

Especially her heart, which felt empty.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Lord? Boss? Are you awake yet?"

The people outside are still calling.

Chu Xin forced herself to stay alert, strode to the door, and yanked it open. "Speak!"

The man, who was about to knock again, froze, then quickly put his hand down and said urgently, "A large group of zombies of unknown origin has suddenly appeared around the base and is currently rioting wildly. You should go and take a look!"

Chu Xin didn't move, but frowned as she glanced at the two fully armed men behind him. "Strangers?"

The man quickly lowered his head, his face full of sincerity, and explained, "They are newly selected guards from below. I'll take them under my wing for a couple of days until they're familiar with the situation before assigning them to your side for personal protection."

"However, the most urgent matter right now is not that, but the crisis at our base. The vice lord has already led people there, so you should hurry too!"

Chu Xin's expression showed a hint of impatience.

Ever since she took the position of lord, her partner Jiang Yi has been trying to place people around her, despite her repeated refusals and clear statements that she didn't need them.

After glancing around again, Chu Xin walked past the three of them and said coldly, "Ahan, you only need to worry about your master. I don't need to, understand?"

Upon hearing this, the person named Ahan immediately lowered his eyes, his tone extremely humble and submissive, "I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds."

Chu Xin neither confirmed nor denied this. This was not the first time he had used the same words and excuses, and it was unlikely to be the last. This Ahan, like the people above him, liked to talk to themselves.

If her team hadn't consisted mostly of elderly people, women, and children, and she hadn't needed to find someone with sufficient strength to cooperate with in order to avoid being swallowed up by a larger power, she would never have had any contact with Jiang Yi.

They also wouldn't need stability after the base was established, and wouldn't tolerate repeated disobedience.

It seems it's time to put her plans from before her time travel into action.

They finally made it outside through layers of security doors.

Chu Xin looked up at the sky, which was a somber, leaden gray, cloudless, and the sun was an eerie red.

I took a shallow breath, and the air was filled with a faint smell of rust and decay, mixed with dry dust. Just one breath made my nasal cavity extremely uncomfortable.

Having grown accustomed to blue skies, white clouds, and bright sunshine, the sudden sight of these things again created a strong sense of dissonance, making her feel even worse.

She raised her hand to cover her face with a veil, pulled up her wide hood, and then walked toward the area where the soldiers were assembled.
