Shortly after Zhao Yan left, Zheng Bo, bundled tightly in a down jacket, sneaked out of the complex. Once outside, Zheng Bo cautiously scanned his surroundings. After confirming no one was present, he quickly ran towards the small shops and supermarkets near the complex. When Zheng Bo reached the nearest small shop, he found its door had been violently broken open. Seeing this, Zheng Bo's heart sank. He quickly rushed into the shop and saw that almost all the goods inside were gone, leaving only a few scattered snacks. Zheng Bo then hurried to a small supermarket not far away, and it was the same story there. Subsequently, Zheng Bo checked a few more shops, and they were all the same. Almost everything was gone.

Facing such a situation, Zheng Bo's mind raced. Was it a thief? Was that thief so dedicated that they'd brave such cold and heavy snow to steal things? Or was there another possibility? At this moment, a chill ran down Zheng Bo's spine!

A reborn one! Another reborn one just like him, one who also possessed spatial abilities. Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Zheng Bo's forehead. If there truly was another reborn one, then could his previous misfortunes, and the sudden tightening of security at the warehouse center today, have been that reborn one's doing? What terrified Zheng Bo the most was that this person knew he was a reborn one, understood his abilities, and was constantly targeting him. Yet, Zheng Bo had no idea who this person was. The other party was like a venomous snake hidden in the dark, capable of delivering a fatal blow at any moment. Thinking of this, Zheng Bo nervously glanced around, then quickly ran back to the complex. After returning to his apartment, Zheng Bo calmed down and carefully reviewed the people who had appeared around him recently, but found no abnormal individuals.

After much deliberation, Zheng Bo decided to keep a low profile during the early stages of the apocalypse and first observe the situation within his complex. Perhaps he could uncover that person. However, Zheng Bo felt there were two other possibilities: either there was indeed a reborn one, but this reborn one might not be from his complex and might not be aware of his existence, simply collecting supplies. Or, perhaps someone truly took advantage of the heavy snowfall to steal from the shops, though this possibility was very low, it couldn't be ruled out. As for the series of unlucky events he had experienced since his rebirth, they might just be coincidences. With a bout of self-comfort, Zheng Bo felt much more at ease.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yan was lying in his bathtub, soaking and looking at the messages in the complex's owner group on his phone.

"It's snowing! It's only October, and it's snowing already?!" "What heavy snow!" "Yeah! I see the snow accumulation on the ground is really thick." "Great! No need to go to work tomorrow." "You're overthinking it. For us wage slaves, even if it's raining knives, the boss will still urge you to go to work." "Holy cow! Are you guys only looking at the snow? Haven't you noticed the temperature? It's negative 15 degrees Celsius!" "Oh my god! It really is negative 15 degrees Celsius! No wonder it's so cold!" "No way? How could a place like Dawu City get so cold?"

Zhao Yan watched the many people chatting in the group, surprised by how many night owls there were. Soon after, Wang Ziying and Fang Qingzhi both sent messages, curiously asking Zhao Yan how he knew the temperature would drop tonight. Zhao Yan casually offered an excuse to brush them off and reiterated his instructions for them to stay warm and rest well.

The next morning, Zhao Yan was woken up by his phone ringing. He picked it up and saw it was Lin Qing'er.

"Old Zhao! Open the door!" Lin Qing'er's voice came from the other end.

"Okay, coming!" Zhao Yan hung up the phone. He then used the system to see Lin Qing'er bundled in a quilt, shivering outside his door. Zhao Yan jumped out of bed and ran to the living room to open the door. The moment the door opened, a blast of cold immediately rushed in. Lin Qing'er quickly ran inside.

"Old Zhao! It's snowing so heavily outside, and the temperature has dropped to negative tens of degrees!" Lin Qing'er exclaimed hurriedly as soon as she entered. But she quickly noticed something was off. Zhao Yan's apartment was different from yesterday, and it was remarkably warm inside. The temperature made Lin Qing'er feel a bit too hot in her thick pajamas. Then she looked at Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan was wearing shorts and a tank top, smiling at her.

"Old Zhao, what's going on with you?" Lin Qing'er asked curiously, looking around.

"Trust me, don't ask too many questions. Just move in," Zhao Yan said with a serious expression.

Zhao Yan's words made Lin Qing'er's face flush slightly. Was Old Zhao inviting her to live together? How embarrassing! Just as Lin Qing'er was letting her imagination run wild, Zhao Yan's next sentence surprised her.

"The temperature will drop even further, and I don't know how long this snow will last. You won't be able to stay in that apartment much longer."

"Old Zhao, what do you mean?" Lin Qing'er asked, confused.

"I mean, the apocalypse has arrived!" Zhao Yan said plainly, then turned to look out the window.

"Hmph! What? Old Zhao, if you want me to move in, don't use such absurd excuses, alright?" Lin Qing'er scoffed playfully.

Zhao Yan turned and walked to Lin Qing'er, placing his hands on her shoulders. "Look at me, then look at this room. Do you think I'm making excuses?"

Lin Qing'er's expression also became serious now. The apartment's changes were too significant. There was no way Zhao Yan had renovated it overnight. And Zhao Yan himself, Lin Qing'er also noticed some abnormalities. Zhao Yan seemed to have become younger, but she hadn't paid too much attention, thinking it was just 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder.' But now that she thought about it, Zhao Yan's changes were indeed significant. Now, Zhao Yan looked like he was only in his fifties.

Zhao Yan had just said the apocalypse. The apocalypse? Does that mean everyone will die? Thinking of this, Lin Qing'er couldn't help but feel scared. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Old Zhao, you said the apocalypse just now? Will we all die?"

Zhao Yan smiled, stepped forward, and gently put his arm around Lin Qing'er's shoulder. "Don't worry, with me here, we will live well through this apocalypse." Hearing Zhao Yan's gentle words, Lin Qing'er rested her head on Zhao Yan's shoulder. "Old Zhao, I believe you."

Next, the two naturally entered the fitness exchange session again. However, this time the coach was Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan actively guided, and Lin Qing'er passively accepted the guidance. Zhao Yan's superhuman physique and high-intensity movement guidance quickly overwhelmed Lin Qing'er. But it also made Lin Qing'er very happy; it was her most invigorating workout session ever.

An hour later, Lin Qing'er and Zhao Yan began moving some of Lin Qing'er's personal belongings over to Zhao Yan's place.

"Old Zhao, you must have some secrets, right?" Lin Qing'er asked curiously while organizing her personal belongings.

"Heh, you guessed right. But it's hard for me to explain, just trust me," Zhao Yan said with a chuckle.

Lin Qing'er nodded, hearing this, and didn't press further. Zhao Yan took a moment to glance at Lin Qing'er's attributes. Good heavens, her Favorability had already reached 89%! If Zhao Yan worked a little harder, Lin Qing'er's Favorability would soon reach 100%. At that point, Lin Qing'er would be completely loyal to Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yan could also improve Lin Qing'er's attributes through interaction.
