After the apocalypse descended, the Earth was left with nothing but endless winter and perpetual night.

One by one, humans fell to the infection, and the undead roamed freely. In such a harsh environment, the survivors resorted to the law of the jungle, doing whatever it took to stay alive.

Bo Ziyuan and his team ruled this world like kings. Only the strong had the right to set the rules and claim the best resources.

Li Wei had clung to life until now with one burning desire: to kill Bo Ziyuan and avenge her beloved sister. She was willing to pay any price, even her own life.

So when her body was torn apart in a final, desperate act to take Bo Ziyuan down with her, she felt no regret. In this life, the person she had wronged the most was her sister, and the person she missed the most was her sister.

With Bo Ziyuan dead, she could die in peace. At last, she would be reunited with her sister. As death approached, a serene smile spread across Li Wei’s face.

Her world grew quiet, and a pure white scene unfolded before her eyes. Then, in her dazed state, she heard a gentle woman’s voice from above.

"Xiao Wei, can’t you stop being so stubborn?"

It was her sister, Li Ya!

How was this possible?!

Li Wei's eyes snapped open, and she instinctively tried to sit up, but the excruciating pain from her shattered body before death still lingered, making her face pale and her forehead drenched in cold sweat.

Gasping for breath, she forced herself to look up despite the pain. When she saw the familiar, gentle face in front of her, her body froze.

"Sis?!" she exclaimed in disbelief, her entire body trembling uncontrollably.

Was it really her sister?

How could Li Ya, who had been dead for seven years, suddenly appear before her?

She was too stunned to speak, her eyes scrutinizing the woman in front of her. Even the beauty mark under her right eye was exactly the same.

Could this really be the sister she had been longing for day and night?

Li Ya sighed, her voice tinged with helplessness as she chided, "Wei, you really went too far this time. Mu Jia almost lost his life. Even the captain said that if there's another mission, it's either you or him..."

Caught between family and the team, she was truly in a difficult position.

Mu Jia? The captain?

The names felt familiar to Li Wei, but she wasn't entirely sure. Meeting her sister's gentle yet firm gaze, she asked in confusion, "Am I in heaven after dying?"

It was said that in heaven, one would be reunited with those they missed. Wasn't her sister here waiting for her?

Li Ya gripped her hand tightly, her expression serious. "What heaven? Wei, don't change the subject. I'm talking about something important here."

At that moment, Li Wei noticed that her sister's hand was warm and soft, which meant she wasn't in any danger.

"Sis," Li Wei's eyes brimmed with tears, her voice quivering as she pleaded, "Can I hug you?"

Li Ya looked at her suddenly sobbing sister, a hint of confusion in her heart. Had her words been too harsh earlier?

Without waiting for a response, Li Wei tightly embraced her sister, breaking into uncontrollable sobs.

"Don't cry," Li Ya softly comforted her, "I know you're still not used to life in this post-apocalyptic world, but what's done is done. We sisters have no choice in the matter. Even if we want to leave this group, we need to wait until we can protect ourselves."

"Leaving now would be like walking to our deaths, wouldn't it?"

"I know," Li Wei clung to her sister, who she had thought lost forever, unwilling to let go. "I'll be good from now on, I promise I won't cause any more trouble."

Hearing this, Li Ya was taken aback. Since when had her sister become so compliant? Ever since the apocalypse began, her sister had been acting strangely...

"You're grown up now," Li Ya said earnestly, "It's time to think seriously about our future. If you still insist that you're right about Mu Jia, then I'll take you and we'll leave this place together."

This time, her sister's tone was firm. After delivering her ultimatum, Li Ya left the room without another word.

Left alone on the bed, Li Wei's initial excitement gradually cooled. She looked down at herself—no scars, clean clothes, and hands free of calluses. This was a far cry from her previous life of hardship and vengeance.

So, had she been reborn?

It was the first month of the apocalypse, and there was still a chance to set things right.

In her previous life, she had been influenced by a mysterious force, her body acting against her will, committing despicable acts that gradually turned her into a woman everyone loathed. She was fully aware of the control exerted over her, yet powerless to change her fate.

She had witnessed her sister, Liya, discarded by the so-called "chosen one," Bo Ziyuan, only to meet her end in a horde of zombies. But after her rebirth, the mysterious force that once controlled her had vanished. Perhaps it was her mutual destruction with Bo Ziyuan that had finally freed her from those chains.

Li Wei didn’t know why she had been given this second chance, but now that she could choose her own path, she was determined not to repeat the mistakes of her past life. She vowed to live a better life with her sister, far away from that scumbag Bo Ziyuan.

As she sat in silence, Li Wei meticulously pieced together the events of the past few weeks. On the second day of the zombie virus outbreak, Liya had suddenly developed a high fever and fallen into a coma, only to awaken with the ability to heal. The two sisters had immediately fled for their lives.

Along the way, they had encountered a group led by Chu Yiling and a few of his friends. Desperate to survive, Liya had revealed her healing abilities, offering to "heal" injured teammates, and the sisters had joined the group.

Back then, Li Wei had already been under the control of that mysterious force. Whenever the team leader assigned tasks, she would slack off. At first, because Liya constantly defended her, the group tolerated her behavior. But soon, she began causing trouble, finding excuses to stir up chaos.

In one particularly horrifying incident, during a fierce battle with the zombies, Li Wei had deliberately lured a zombie behind Fang Mujia, watching coldly as he was bitten.

She stood by, smirking with a mocking expression, clearly enjoying the spectacle. The tension between Fang Mujia and her had been simmering for quite some time, but it certainly didn’t warrant anything as extreme as death! Li Ya’s warnings weren’t just empty threats—this team truly couldn’t tolerate someone who would stab their teammates in the back. Out of sheer necessity, the sisters had begun to consider leaving the group.

Neither of them had the ability to protect themselves, and Li Wei knew all too well that leaving the team would be a perilous gamble, a matter of life and death. After a brief period of compliance, Chu Yiling’s team suffered a devastating blow, forcing them to seek refuge with another group. That group, led by Bo Ziyuan, turned out to be the beginning of their nightmare.

Li Wei was resolute—she would never drag her sister into Bo Ziyuan’s team again. They had to stay as far away from that scoundrel as possible. She knew she had to grow stronger quickly, to protect herself and her sister, and to break free from the control of others.
