Chapter 12

Zhao Zhuqing held her fair hand and shook his head helplessly.
“You don’t understand. That bitch Lin Qianhuan abandoned me as soon as she got money. It’s been over half a month since she replied to my messages.
She doesn’t answer my calls, doesn’t reply to my messages, and even crippled my right hand. I wish I could kill her right now. How can I lower myself to ask her for money?”
He was a man; how could he bow his head to a woman? Lin Qianhuan should be begging him to give him money!

Chen Tianjing’s smile stiffened upon hearing this. Was Lin Qianhuan really that heartless? Why was she deviating from the storyline so much?
But seeing that the apocalypse was imminent, if they didn’t stockpile supplies, they would truly be buried in a sea of corpses.

With February 26th approaching, the two of them were frantic, while Lin Qianhuan was happily running between her villa and warehouse, making ample preparations for the apocalypse.
“Food, drinking water, fruits, vegetables, instant food, medicine, outdoor equipment, weapons…”
Lin Yixuan and Lin Wansheng sat on the sofa, carefully checking the types and quantities of supplies, while Lin Qianhuan nestled to the side, devouring a basin of washed strawberries.
“Tomorrow is February 25th. According to Qianhuan’s memory, there will be a strange red rain starting at dawn.
The red rain is likely related to the awakening of Superpower, but there is also a risk of mutating into zombies. How we choose is indeed a problem.”
Lin Yixuan looked up at the window. A bright crescent moon hung in the sky, and the outdoors still had the chill of early spring.

Lin Qianhuan placed the strawberries on the coffee table, her heart also extremely tangled.
After contact with the red rain, there were three possibilities: evolving into an Superpower user, mutating into a zombie, or remaining unchanged.
She was reborn, but couldn’t guarantee that she and her two brothers would successfully awaken Superpower.
After all, the world was changing every moment. She had disrupted the original world trajectory, and everything that was about to happen was unknown.
What if one of them accidentally mutated into a zombie after being exposed to the red rain? This would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the three siblings.
But not contacting the red rain was equivalent to choosing a slow path to death.
After all, zombies would evolve, and even Superpower users couldn’t fight those powerful evolved zombies, let alone weak ordinary people.

Steadying her mind, Lin Qianhuan looked up to meet the gazes of her two brothers. Their eyes were firm, and they had an answer in their hearts.
They must not miss this red rain!
“None of us are content with the status quo. If we back down this time, we can only be at the mercy of others in the future, becoming zombie fodder.
Even if we risk mutation, we must take a gamble!”
Lin Yixuan’s voice was hoarse as he spoke the words buried in their hearts.
Even if there was a risk of turning into zombies, they had to bet this time.

Lin Qianhuan nodded in agreement, but her heart was pounding violently, and her fingertips trembled slightly.
She was very scared; she had been reborn but still couldn’t protect her two brothers.
But she also knew that if they chose to back down from this red rain, they would be greeted with a lifetime of regret.

Dark clouds emerged from nowhere, gradually covering the night sky as time passed, dyeing the moonlight behind the clouds blood red.
With a loud bang, lightning burst open, tearing a scarlet crack in the sky, revealing layers of stacked black clouds.
“Let’s go, the rain is coming.”
Lin Qianhuan stood by the window, watching the raindrops, like beads of blood, hitting the glass, and took the lead in heading to the courtyard.

The rainwater had a faint fishy smell, running down her wet hair and instantly soaking her dry clothes.
Contact with the rainwater meant success. They didn’t continue to linger in the courtyard but returned to the villa and locked all the doors and windows.
“Lock yourselves in your rooms. If you successfully awaken Superpower, that’s naturally the best. If it’s the worst outcome…”
Lin Qianhuan forced a smile: “Then no one can be merciful, after all, none of us want to live as a man-eating monster.”

The three hugged each other, and messy footsteps extended to the bedroom, finally separated by a click of the lock.
Lin Qianhuan took a quick shower. The effects of the blood rain wouldn’t appear quickly. She simply turned on her phone and started surfing the internet.
Sure enough, news about the blood-colored red rain had already made the trending searches, drawing widespread attention from people across the country.
Lin Qianhuan carefully read every message, her brow furrowing more and more as she read.
She discovered something she had never realized in her previous life.
The blood rain seemed to have sought out its targets in advance. The cities where it fell seemed to be the provincial capitals, all economically developed and densely populated cities.
She quickly grabbed paper and pen and began to confirm, writing down the cities where the red rain had fallen one by one, which confirmed her guess.
Wasn’t this rain falling a bit too conveniently? It was as if someone was deliberately guiding and controlling it, intentionally spreading the virus as quickly as possible!

Lin Qianhuan’s hand holding the pen trembled slightly, and her fingertips were faintly white from gripping it too hard.
In her previous life, she was just an Superpower user struggling at the bottom, deceived by others.
In this life, because she had made ample preparations in advance, coupled with the experiences of her previous life, she had glimpsed a few of the conspiracies hidden behind the blood rain.
She had originally thought that the emergence and outbreak of the zombie virus were accidental, but now it seemed that everything she knew was just the tip of the iceberg of the truth.
Where did the zombie virus come from? Who was behind the spread of the virus through the red rain? Who was the mastermind behind this disaster?
The riddles Wrapped in Lin Qianhuan’s mind, like a ball of yarn that had been knotted and tightened, preventing her from sorting out any clues.
Ultimately, it was because her status was too low and her ability too weak in her previous life. She had always been struggling to survive at the bottom, and aside from surviving, she had no other thoughts, so she knew very little information.
She lived a painful and confused life in her previous life, and until her death, she thought that the zombie virus was a punishment from heaven for humanity.
So what about this life? Should she be content with the status quo, or should she find the source of her pain in both lives?

Lin Qianhuan felt surrounded by fatigue and pain and fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.
Time passed second by second, the rain continued to fall, making a dull sound as it hit the thick bulletproof glass, and the villa was silent.
The three had long since transitioned from sleep to coma. Their skin was stimulated by excessively high body temperatures and turned red, and large beads of sweat ran down their foreheads and into their pillows. The high temperature was roasting their bodies and even their souls.
Pain spread throughout their limbs, dragging them into the abyss, giving them no chance to breathe.
The bedroom was stocked with ample food and drinking water, and all kinds of medicines were readily available, but they had long fallen into a coma and could not perceive the outside world, and could only struggle in the quagmire of pain.
And this pain, which felt like tearing them apart and sewing them back together, lasted for a full three days.
