Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 1: Rebirth

"Boom!"

The violent explosion reverberated around, shaking the buildings, and the glass emitted a mournful sound.

Elijah suddenly woke up, sitting up from the bed. He subconsciously touched his body, intact, and then looked around.

The familiar room layout, simple and clean, except for the refrigerator, wardrobe, table, and the bed he was in, there were no other clutter.

"Darn... was it a dream?"

"Or... have I been reborn?"

Elijah remembered clearly that just a moment ago he was surrounded by a group of zombies, tearing at him, his flesh torn apart piece by piece, the stiff corpse claws stirring his entrails, the intense pain making him lose consciousness instantly.

But upon waking up again, he found himself back in the rented house!

Elijah immediately grabbed the phone next to him and looked at it, his eyes widening at the time displayed.

"A year ago... did I really reincarnate?!"

Then he slid off the bed and ran to the window.

Not far away from him, a commercial building was emitting billowing smoke, with the wreckage of an airplane hanging on it.

That was the source of the explosion just now!

"Plane crash... exactly the same, I... really reincarnated!"

Although incredulous, Elijah breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, being alive was the greatest luck.

But soon, he frowned again.

From the timing, today was the first day of the zombie virus outbreak, and the exploding plane was the signal.

He suspected that the pilot was infected with the zombie virus, leading to the plane crash.

And on this day...

Before Elijah could think further, a voice of extreme panic suddenly rang out!

"Help! Help me!"

Elijah looked down following the sound and saw a woman running frantically, shouting as she ran.

And behind her, three figures chased after her like mad dogs.

One of them Elijah recognized, his downstairs neighbor, a stooped old lady.

Normally panting after a few steps, but now she was more agile than an athlete.

The woman exerted all her strength to try to shake off the three behind her, but suddenly a figure slanted from the side and tackled her to the ground.

This figure opened its mouth wide and bit the woman's neck fiercely.

Blood gushed instantly, staining the person's face with a ghastly appearance.

"Ah~" The woman's miserable scream echoed through the building.

At this moment, the three figures chasing behind also arrived instantly, pouncing on the woman and tearing at her like wild beasts.

"Ugh... Ah..."

The woman's screams gradually faded, and her body soon stopped struggling.

Only a pool of blood slowly overflowed from under the four figures.

"The neighborhood has started too..."

Elijah sighed, muttering to himself.

It would have been better if he had reincarnated a bit earlier, so he could also go and buy some supplies.

For now, he could only hide at home. Otherwise, if he got involved because of some idiot, it would be too much of a loss.

But speaking of idiots...

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A knock on the door interrupted Elijah's thoughts.

"...Elijah, are you there?"

A somewhat anxious female voice came through.

Immediately, an image of a figure wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, revealing slender white legs, popped into Elijah's mind—Bella!

Bella is the wife of a couple who shares the apartment with Elijah. She and her husband just arrived in the city to make a living. To save on rent, Elijah rented the master bedroom to the couple through a referral.

Here she comes!

Elijah's heart skipped a beat, knowing he was about to face a crisis. But it wasn't this woman, it was her idiot husband.

Elijah remained composed as he opened the bedroom door, and sure enough, Bella was standing outside.

Her face was adorned with delicate makeup, wearing a light green short-sleeved shirt that was slightly translucent, revealing a glimpse of the white bra inside.

Below was a black waist-cinching skirt, exposing her smooth legs, slender and well-proportioned.

One foot was clad in slippers, while the other wore a white low-heeled flat shoe.

It was evident from her attire that she was about to go out, in the midst of changing shoes when the sudden situation interrupted her.

"...Elijah, did you see them too? Those monsters..."

At this moment, she looked anxious, slightly frightened, and somewhat lost.

"Yes, I saw them too. The ones downstairs are zombies!"

"Yes, yes, they are zombies, just like in the movies..."

Bella found a way to vent her fear.

"What's going on? What should we do?"

"I don't know! But we can't go out now. The zombies outside are too dangerous."

Thinking of the zombies downstairs and the woman's tragic situation, Bella's face turned pale, but the next moment she became anxious again.

"My husband just went out, he won't be in danger, right? No, I have to call him!"

She hurriedly walked to the living room, took out her phone from her bag, but the next moment she froze in place.

"No signal? How is there no signal?"

Ignoring her astonishment, Elijah shifted his gaze away from her slender legs and started staring at the anti-theft door outside the foyer.

Just then, "Bang!" The sound of the anti-theft door being forcefully pulled open, hitting the wall and rebounding, startled Bella!

But Elijah had anticipated it and calmly watched as the man at the door, breathing heavily, slammed the door shut.

"Honey, you're back, that's great! Are you okay?"

Bella ran up and supported her husband.

"I'm fine, Bella, you're fine too, that's great!"

Alexander hugged Bella excitedly.

"I was just leaving the neighborhood when I got stuck on the road. I saw many people turning into zombies, so I hurried back..."

"That's too dangerous, but fortunately you're back safely!"

Bella's face was filled with fear after the fact.

Elijah closed the door, ignoring the couple, and began to search for things, preparing himself.

Everything that had happened up to now was exactly the same as in his previous life.

If nothing had changed, then that idiot Alexander must have been bitten by the zombies already.

In his previous life, Bella discovered the bite marks on Alexander while he was changing clothes and came to Elijah in fear to confirm if he would turn into a zombie because of it.

What followed was Alexander's sudden attack on them. Although Elijah eventually killed Alexander, both he and Bella were subsequently scratched and bitten.

In despair and rage, Elijah vented his anger on Bella, only to find out later that he managed to resist the transformation and even awakened superpowers by chance.

However, Bella unfortunately turned into a zombie and was controlled by his superpowers.

Thinking of superpowers, Elijah subconsciously urged them, and a familiar energy immediately flowed through his body.

"Huh?!"

Elijah's face lit up with joy.

"My superpowers have awakened ahead of time?!"
