“Are you joking with me? Can you be a little serious? Even if you want to dump me, you should at least find a proper reason, right?” the boy said in an exasperated voice as he looked at the girl pointing at Jun Zishu.
Jun Zishu was still processing her new memories, so she had no idea what was going on right now. Even so, she still decided to wear a smile on her face.
[That girl is the original owner’s close friend, Host.]
Understood.
“Sorry, but I already told you long ago that I’m not a person who will easily settle down and that I get tired of people easily. I also told you that I’d break up with you once I find someone better. Let’s part on friendly terms, alright?”
Lin Ruoyan was very frank with her scummy behavior, her beautiful face wearing an unconcerned expression.
“Do you even have a heart? Did I not treat you well?” the boy asked in anger and reluctance.
“All of my exes treated me very well. What do you even like about me? It’s my face, isn’t it? What else do you like about me other than my face?” Lin Ruoyan asked indifferently, her eyes revealing a trace of impatience.
“How can I like only your face?”
“If I didn’t have this face, would you have liked me? Don’t make your love sound so grand. I’ve seen many boys like you. If I didn’t look pretty, would you dare say that you love me still?” Lin Ruoyan asked in a justified tone.
Meanwhile, Jun Zishu quietly spectated this scene, unsure of what to say. The current situation rendered her very speechless. All she wanted right now was to find a quiet place to sort through her new memories and find out about her mission.
“She is the person I like now. I’m sorry, but I’ll have to say goodbye now,” Lin Ruoyan said as she pointed at Jun Zishu again with her thumb.
“If you want to break up, then just say so. You don’t have to find someone to use as an excuse.”
“I have never lied. I am a bi, so I like girls as well,” Lin Ruoyan said as if it were a matter of course.
Jun Zishu revealed an awkward but polite smile at the boy when she heard Lin Ruoyan’s words. Then, when Lin Ruoyan hugged her arm, she couldn’t help but inwardly frown and got the urge to struggle free. However, she eventually chose to endure her discomfort when she thought about her current character.
After the boy left in a huff, Lin Ruoyan let go of Jun Zishu’s arm and patted her on the shoulder, asking, “What’s wrong with you today, Zishu? Why didn’t you cooperate with me?”
After saying so, Lin Ruoyan puffed up her cheeks and wrapped an arm around Jun Zishu’s shoulders. Then, she snatched the milk tea in Jun Zishu’s hand with her free hand, took a sip, and returned it to Jun Zishu.
“You drink it. I’m feeling a little dizzy,” Jun Zishu said as she gave the milk tea to Lin Ruoyan. She didn’t wish to drink from a straw someone else had already used.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Lin Ruoyan asked in concern.
In response, Jun Zishu shook her head and said, “Let’s go sit inside the shop for a bit.”
“Okay.”
After taking a seat in the milk tea shop, Jun Zishu used the pretense of dizziness to rest her eyes and sort through her new memories.
She was currently in a modern world, and the original owner of her current body was also called Jun Zishu.
Meanwhile, Lin Ruoyan was one of the original owner’s close friends. When it came to relationships, Lin Ruoyan was a fickle person, and she would always use the original owner as cover whenever she needed to break up with someone. The original owner would also cooperate with Lin Ruoyan during these times, acting like a girl who was madly in love. However, Jun Zishu didn’t play along with Lin Ruoyan’s act this time and simply smiled like a fool throughout the entire breakup process, which was why Lin Ruoyan reacted the way she did just now.
Although Lin Ruoyan was quite the scumbag when it came to love affairs, she was an excellent friend. She treated the original owner incredibly well, and she was one of the few friends the original owner wholeheartedly trusted.
The original owner was a second-year university student. She majored in dance, and she had a beautiful appearance. She also had a crush on a boy. Unfortunately, her crush also had someone he liked, and this person was the original owner’s elder cousin.
[Your mission is to save your cousin and change her fate, Host.]
Okay.
This time, Jun Zishu was working with the Fate Changing Division, her original workplace. Initially, she thought that this would be another situation where the female lead met a tragic accident because of love. However, she quickly realized that she was mistaken.
The setting of this world might seem normal, but a virus pandemic would occur tomorrow afternoon, and this pandemic would spread across many cities. Meanwhile, those infected would lose their ability to think and grow incredibly aggressive. They would also bite those uninfected, infecting them in the process.
In other words, this was a zombie apocalypse that one would normally find in the various zombie films. Though, it couldn’t be considered an actual apocalypse since the government would eventually extinguish the pandemic, and people would regain their peaceful lives.
The original owner’s cousin was called Ren Nanying, a rather poetic name. However, Ren Nanying was anything but poetic as she belonged to the Athletic Department in the original owner’s university. Like the original owner, Ren Nanying was also a second-year student.
After the zombie pandemic broke out on the university campus, Ren Nanying relied on her superior physical abilities to survive. Eventually, though, the close friends she trusted had pushed her into a zombie horde for the sake of their own survival, and she died a tragic death.
Once Jun Zishu was done browsing through her memories and the original storyline, she knew what she needed to do next.
The original owner didn’t share a particularly good relationship with Ren Nanying. This was because they weren’t blood-related cousins. Ren Nanying was the original owner’s uncle’s adopted daughter, and she was the child of a dead comrade-in-arms of the original owner’s uncle.
Initially, the original owner shared a relatively normal relationship with Ren Nanying, and the two would greet each other like normal cousins whenever they met. However, as they shared different interests, they didn’t have any common conversation topics.
Afterward, when the original owner fell in love with the boy that liked Ren Nanying, the original owner had used her relationship with Ren Nanying to get close to her crush. It was also during this time that the original owner started to resent her cousin.
Can I warn others about the apocalypse, Little Fairy?
After leaving the milk tea shop, Jun Zishu asked Little Fairy this question as she glanced at the girl walking beside her.
[That’s not allowed, Host. You will be going against the rules and breaking character.]
Got it.
“I think I’m feeling better now,” Jun Zishu suddenly said.
“Huh? Really?” Lin Ruoyan asked in surprise.
“Really. By the way, did you finish the snacks I gave you previously?” Jun Zishu asked before silently withdrawing her arm from Lin Ruoyan’s embrace and inserting both hands into her pockets.
“They’re long gone.”
“Let’s go to the supermarket, then. I don’t feel like going outside for the next few days, so I’m thinking of buying some bread back to the dorm,” Jun Zishu said, smiling. If she was going to stock up on food, bread would naturally be the best option.
“Alright, let’s go shopping, then.”
Afterward, the two girls happily went shopping, each of them leaving the supermarket with a super-sized grocery bag.
“Why did you buy so many loaves of bread? You even bought a big bag of compressed biscuits. What would you want those nasty-tasting things for?”
“They can help me keep in shape. I think I’ve gotten fat recently,” Jun Zishu said, sighing. She spoke very much like the original owner.
“You? Fat? Are you trying to anger me to death?” Liu Ruoyan asked in an exaggerated tone as she looked at Jun Zishu’s small waist. “I really can’t understand you thin people. You keep shouting fat, fat, fat all day long despite looking like a twig.”
In reality, Lin Ruoyan also had a healthy figure. However, she was still significantly inferior to Jun Zishu. After all, Jun Zishu was a dance major. She had also grown up dancing, so her body was soft and slender.
Jun Zishu did not refute Lin Ruoyan’s words. Instead, they visited a noodle shop and had rice noodles for dinner.
“I’m going back. Bye,” Jun Zishu said.
“Bye-bye.”
Lin Ruoyan didn’t go to the same university as the original owner, but their schools weren’t very far apart, either. The original owner studied at a comprehensive key university that was relatively famous in the city, while Lin Ruoyan studied at a normal university.
After parting ways with Lin Ruoyan, Jun Zishu took a bus back to her school. Then, after climbing up four floors and returning to her room, she found that all of her roommates were home.
“Welcome back. What’s with the big grocery bag? What did you buy?” Xu Qiu asked as she walked over and helped Jun Zishu with the grocery bag.
“Some food,” Jun Zishu answered.
The original owner shared a relatively good relationship with her roommates. All three of her roommates were also nice people.
Jun Zishu didn’t find out what had become of these roommates in the original storyline since none of them were crucial to her mission. In reality, even the original owner wasn’t considered a crucial character, and she had died several days after the pandemic happened. The plot Jun Zishu received was mainly related to her cousin, Ren Nanying.
“Wow, you even bought compressed biscuits, my goddess? What are you eating this thing for?” Liu Manman asked with widened eyes as she crouched down and searched through Jun Zishu’s grocery bag.
“It’s for dieting,” Jun Zishu said, using the same excuse. Her roommates might be looking at these compressed biscuits in disdain now, but these biscuits might be saving their lives starting tomorrow.
“Diet? The dance major’s belle is going on a diet?” Lin Su said jokingly as she pushed against her glasses.
All four residents of this room belonged to different departments. Although they didn’t have class together normally, everyone was already a university student, so they wouldn’t hold back from befriending each other simply because they didn’t attend the same classes. Thus, everyone in this room was quite united and friendly.
“Who would complain about having a good figure?” Jun Zishu responded jokingly as well.
“Yes, yes. We know you have the best figure,” Liu Su said, rolling her eyes at Jun Zishu. Then, she complained, “Ah~ It’s Monday again tomorrow. I have classes in the afternoon.”
“You only have classes in the afternoon! I have classes the entire day!” Liu Manman complained.
Don’t worry. Nobody will have to attend classes tomorrow, Jun Zishu said in her mind while sorting out the items she bought.
Jun Zishu wouldn’t forcibly interfere with her roommates’ fates. It wasn’t because she was cold-hearted. It was because she didn’t have a good reason to make them skip classes. She also wasn’t sure if they would meet a better fate if they stayed in the dorm.
Do I have any cheat abilities this time, Little Fairy?
How was she supposed to complete her mission if she would die after getting hit by a zombie once?
[Yes, there is. You have a buff, Host.]
[You have a 100% chance of killing zombies when you poke their heads.]
It sounds like a good ability, but what if I don’t hit a zombie’s head?
[Good luck, Host! I will be here for mental support!]
Little Fairy said, avoiding Jun Zishu’s question.
[Oh, right, you don’t have to worry about getting infected, either. That’s another one of your buffs.]
Little Fairy added.
That’s a relief.
Jun Zishu felt assured when she learned that she wouldn’t become a zombie.
…
The next day, the sun basked the land in its warm light, and students left their rooms one after another and made their way to either the canteens or teaching blocks.
“Liu Manman! Wake up! It’s 7:40 already! You’re going to be late!” Liu Su shouted as she knocked on Liu Manman’s bed.
However, Liu Manman simply covered her head with her blanket and rolled over as she said, “Stop yelling. I’m skipping class. I’m dead tired.”
“Alrighty, then,” Liu Su said, shrugging.
…
Before noon even arrived, a burst of screams came from outside the dormitory building.
“What’s going on? Are they holding a concert?” Xu Qiu complained as she sat up from her bed grumpily and scratched her hair.
Jun Zishu had already finished washing up, so she lifted the curtain and looked at the chaotic scene outside. Then, after a moment, she calmly closed the curtains and said, “It seems like the apocalypse is here.”
“””Huh?”””
Everyone in the room looked at Jun Zishu, surprised by what she had just said.
“There are people eating people outside.”
“Huh?”
Confused by Jun Zishu’s words, Liu Su put down her book and went up to the window to take a look outside. Then, she let out a shriek and stumbled several steps back.
“What’s wrong?” Xu Qiu asked in confusion.
“Outside… It’s… It’s real…” Liu Su stuttered and covered her mouth, her face turning pale in horror.
However, Liu Manman and Xu Qiu remained doubtful of Jun Zishu’s and Liu Su’s claims, so they got out of bed and verified the situation with their own eyes. Then, they closed the curtains and stepped away from the window with wobbly legs.
“Is the door locked?”
“It’s locked,” Jun Zishu calmly said while reading a book on her bed.
“How can you be so calm, Jun Zishu?!”
“How else should I react?” Jun Zishu responded without looking away from her book. “Oh, I just remembered a survey I saw online in the past. What can you do once the apocalypse arrives?”
“””How are you still in the mood to talk about surveys?!”””
The three roommates condemned Jun Zishu simultaneously. However, they still earnestly began considering Jun Zishu’s question.

“It doesn’t sound like any of us know anything useful,” Jun Zishu said and shrugged.
