Memories of her last life enveloped her.
As a child, her father would hold her mother and call her "wife."
She and her brother Si Jie grew up in a household rife with bickering and physical confrontations.
It could be said that her combat skills were largely honed through the fights at home.
But if she did something wrong, her brother would step forward to take the blame, and if she tried to confess, he would intimidate her into silence with his fierce gaze.
Later, he would bribe her with snacks.
When did everything change?
She remembered, a few days before the apocalypse, videos of people biting one another surfaced in the news.
Her brother, a government clerk, had made a call home, instructing their parents to stock up on water and food, and secure the doors and windows with steel plates.
He also called me at university, urging me to hurry home.
Fortunately, her university was local, so she didn't need to take a train or plane.
