Rebirth

"Boss, hehe, this little girl really does feel different. Once you've had your fun, can you let me, hehe..."

"What kind of talk is that? We're all brothers on the same road—Brothers are like limbs, women are like clothes. Once I'm done, every brother here can have a taste. Hahaha, we share blessings and hardships together! Hahahaha!"

"Little girl, why are you keeping your head down? Lift it up and look at me!"

A pair of large hands seized Jiang You by the hair and yanked upward, forcing her to raise her head in humiliation.

The instant she looked up, the terror in the girl's eyes abruptly turned to confusion.

"Hehe, this little Black Girl's skin is a bit dark, but her face isn't bad."

Yellow Hair licked his lips, a lewd smile spreading across his face.

Jiang You stared at the scene before her in disbelief. Yellow Hair, who was leading them, and the few shifty-looking young thugs behind him were the nightmares of her entire life.

Inside the abandoned chemical plant, the girl lay sprawled on the concrete floor, her body covered in footprints and injuries of varying severity.

What... what was going on?

Hadn't she died?

She clearly remembered joining forces with the other test subjects to destroy Forbidden Island, then massacring the entire base. After exhausting her powers, she had self-destructed and died.

So why was she here now?

The time she had been dragged by these thugs into the abandoned chemical plant was half a month before the apocalypse.

The sharp pain at the roots of her hair kept reminding her that this was not a dream, not an illusion. It was real!

She had been reborn!

Reborn half a month before the apocalypse!

Back to before everything had begun!

Yellow Hair frowned. He had just touched Jiang You's delicate cheek when he suddenly realized that there was no fear in the girl's eyes. Instead, they were filled with a strange excitement.

His heart skipped a beat.

Fuck, was this chick some kind of masochist?

But on second thought, masochist or not, as long as it felt good, that was all that mattered.

He patted the flesh of Jiang You's cheek and puckered his lips as he leaned in.

The thugs behind him clapped and cheered.

"Boss, a moment of spring night is worth a thousand in gold. Hehe, don't waste time—go straight for a home run!"

"Boss is mighty!"

Watching those puckered lips, like a chicken's ass, draw closer and closer, Jiang You felt her stomach churn.

Without showing it, she grabbed a handful of dust from the ground and flung it into the man's eyes with lightning speed.

"Ah! My eyes!"

The instant his grip on her hair loosened, Jiang You lunged forward and knocked him to the ground.

Having just been reborn, Jiang You was severely underweight from long-term malnutrition. Her body simply did not possess the strength to defeat an adult man head-on, so she could only use his strength against him.

The man had been careless just now, but once he reacted, he immediately clamped his hand around Jiang You's throat.

The other thugs hurriedly closed in from behind.

"You little bitch..." The man strangled Jiang You, preparing to slap her.

But at that moment.

As she struggled, Jiang You snatched the keys from his waist, flipped open the nail clippers with one hand, and extended the nail file.

The entire sequence was smooth and swift!

"You dare?!"

"Pfft—"

The nail file's edge was not sharp, but Jiang You used every ounce of her strength to drive it viciously into the man's neck. Then she gripped the nail clippers and yanked hard.

A bloody gash instantly tore open across the man's neck. Blood poured out as he clutched his throat in disbelief and collapsed to the ground, convulsing.

The remaining thugs were dumbfounded at the sight.

"Fuck, what is this girl made of? How can she be so ruthless?!"

"Avenge Brother Jun! Kill this little bitch!"

The three of them rushed at her together.

Jiang You assessed the gap in their strength. With her current condition, one against three was a little risky.

But it didn't matter. Killing someone did not always require much strength.

After thinking for one second, she turned and ran.

She did not hesitate for even a second.

"Catch up to her! Don't let that bitch get away!"

The three little thugs hurried after her, only for Jiang You to run into a pitch-black warehouse with no way out ahead.

"Hahaha, little bitch, nowhere to run now, huh? There's no door ahead!"

The three of them entered the warehouse, gripping weapons like clubs in their hands.

But the warehouse was piled full of discarded iron cans of all sizes, and they had no idea where that girl had hidden.

"Let's split up and search. We have to find this chick!"

"Damn it, once we find her, strip her naked and hang her from the rafters. Ungrateful bitch!"

But before they could split into three groups—

The warehouse door behind them suddenly slammed shut.

With their only source of light gone, the entire warehouse fell into darkness.

The men began to panic.

"Fuck, Little Er, why did you close the door? I can't see!!"

"Bro, I didn't close it!"

"Bullshit! You were walking at the back. If it wasn't you, then who was it? Could it be... pfft!"

"Fuck, who touched my back?! Shit!! Aaaaah!!!"

"Third Brother, Third Brother, why aren't you saying anything either?!"

The last thug, called Little Er, panicked. His legs gave out, and he collapsed straight onto the ground, his hand landing in a large patch of warm, sticky liquid.

"What... what is this? What is this?! Aaaaah!"

He screamed and tried to crawl to his feet, but the ground was too slippery, and he failed twice.

The third time, he finally felt his way upright. Just then, he vaguely sensed something approaching him.

Bang!!

A heavy blow struck his knee. His legs bent backward, and he crashed heavily to his knees.

"Aaaaaaah!!!!"

A shrill scream instantly tore from the man's throat.

At last, the warehouse doors were opened.

Backlit by the light, the slight girl stood holding a wooden club, staring at him coldly.

Her gaze was filled with the same disgust one would have for a rat in a gutter.

The man panicked and instinctively looked around. Only then did he realize that the wet thing he had touched earlier was actually a huge pool of blood.

One of his two brothers had a similarly deep gash cut across his neck, blood gurgling out of it.

All he could make was a hoarse, choking sound.

The other lay facedown in the bloody water with the back of his skull caved in, his eyes wide open in death, full of venom as they faced his direction.

He finally realized that this woman truly meant to kill them.

Trembling like a leaf in terror, urine ran down his pant leg. He had actually lost control of his bladder.

Jiang You frowned at him. "Who told you to do this?"

This man was her classmate. They barely had any dealings with each other normally. She only knew that he hung around with thugs outside school and acted like Big Brother in class all day.

But there was no such deep grudge between them.

"Y-you can't kill me. I-I'm not eighteen yet. I-I'm still a minor!"

"I, I..."

Chen Ren shook his head frantically, but Jiang You had already raised the club and aimed it at his head.

Chen Ren hurriedly said, "It was Li Wei! She told me to do it!"

"Li Wei gave me twenty thousand yuan and told me to get some Big Brothers from the streets to ruin you, then record a video and send it to her. She was the one who wanted to destroy you!"

"Really, it really was her! If you don't believe me, I can show you our transfer records!"

"She said that once she had the video, you'd be her dog from then on. You'd have to do whatever she told you to do!"

"She said she'd use the video to threaten you into applying to the same university as her, so you could keep being her slave in college or something!"

In one breath, Chen Ren sold Li Wei out completely.

Li Wei.

That really did sound like something she would do.

She had always liked using such filthy methods against girls. It was utterly disgusting!

"I-I've said everything. Let me go, please let me go..."

"I know I was wrong. I'll never do bad things again. I was just confused for a moment. We're classmates, at least spare me.

As for their deaths, I'll absolutely keep my mouth shut. I won't breathe a single word!"

That bitch—once he got the chance, he would definitely kill her!

But a wise man did not fight when the odds were against him. He would endure it for now.

Yet Jiang You did not let him go. After he finished speaking, she smashed the back of his head flat with a single blow.

She found his phone on him and opened his social media app. Sure enough, there were chat logs and transfer records between him and Li Wei.

She also found a group on his phone filled with all kinds of eye-searing videos.

Chen Ren and those punks appeared in the videos frequently.

In her previous life, to avoid being violated by them, Jiang You had kicked Huang Mao in the face and broken his nose when he tried to pull off her pants. She had fled desperately, but when she realized she could not escape, she plunged straight into the chemical pool, prepared to die.

She could swim. She held her breath beneath the surface without coming up, and those men assumed she was dead.

They ran off. When she emerged from the chemical pool, the corrosive chemical materials had burned her skin red. Though her face had not been disfigured, she had inhaled some of the chemicals and suffered from a fever for a long time.

By the time she reported it to the police, those punks had long since left the city and could not be found.

Since Chen Ren was under the legal age, he only received a verbal reprimand and paid a little compensation. That was the end of it.

Yet at the police station, he had wept bitterly, insisting that he had been forced by street thugs.

But when he turned around and faced her, he had been utterly brazen.

"Hahaha, I'm not even of legal age yet. What can you do to me?"

"Bitch, if you've got the guts, don't walk alone from now on. If I get another chance, I'll still take you down!"

"..."

This guy really was trash!

Thinking of this, she gave him several more blows. Then, dragging each of them by the legs, she threw them into the abandoned chemical pool.

She overturned the discarded chemical materials and set the abandoned chemical plant ablaze.

There were still half a month until the apocalypse. She had to clean up what happened today.

After all, order had not yet collapsed. She could not let anyone get hold of evidence against her.

There were still many things to do in these half a month. She could not waste time.

A secret was only a secret if she was the only one who knew it.

Therefore, not one of those four pieces of trash could leave alive.

Imprisoned in the Forbidden Tower, she had lain on an experimental table day and night, allowing others to skin her and break apart her bones. That hellish place had turned her into an evil ghost as well.
