Chapter 3: Child of Destiny, Chen Zhong!
Jiangjing University, Library.
In the study room of the library, a boy suddenly woke up from his sleep, gasping for breath as if he had a nightmare.
Chen Zhong looked around, his eyes filled with confusion. He muttered, “I… I was reborn?!”
It was as if he had woken up from a dream. He grabbed his phone and checked the time—it was 5:30 PM on July 15, 2023, in the New Calendar!
Chen Zhong laughed heartily. He had really come back, completely ignoring the bewildered looks from his classmates.
Everything was still in time. He could start over again! In a few hours, the whole world would undergo a drastic change.
The T virus would mutate, the zombie virus would sweep the globe, and climate changes would turn most of the world into wilderness and deserts!
There would even be intersections between different spaces and worlds, with the tendrils of evil gods appearing in various corners of the world…
This was humanity’s doom and apocalypse! The great catastrophe was coming!
By now, the zombie virus was likely already present….
In his previous life, Chen Zhong was one of the few lucky ones who survived. After enduring countless hardships and trials, he eventually awakened his abilities and became an evolver.
In the future apocalyptic world, Chen Zhong was a powerful figure who even established a large shelter!
However, he was ultimately ambushed and besieged by over a dozen eighth-rank evolvers in a conspiracy against him and was defeated.
Unexpectedly, before his death, he triggered a high-dimensional spatial turbulence, causing his soul to be reborn back to the present, more than a decade ago!
He had a chance to start over again! Chen Zhong couldn’t help but laugh out loud, his eyes filled with determination and excitement.
In his previous life, when the apocalypse arrived, he rose from an unknown soldier to the peak step by step, though he took many wrong paths and wasted much time.
But in this life, with the memories of his past life, he would undoubtedly have a huge advantage…
He was also going to change his fate. For example, he was determined to obtain that SSS-level talent seed…
In his previous life, although Chen Zhong awakened his talent, it was only the lowest F-level talent—strength enhancement, which still helped him survive the early days of the apocalypse.
After all, awakening a talent was one in a million. Later, he spent enormous efforts and costs to obtain an A-level talent seed, which allowed him to soar.
But that was far from enough!
If he could get that SSS-level talent seed, his starting point in this life would be far above everyone else!
While Chen Zhong was lost in thought, a girl sat down next to him. The girl was plain-looking, slightly chubby, but very lively. She had dimples when she smiled, making her barely pass as cute.
Her name was An Mian, and she was Chen Zhong’s classmate.
An Mian looked at Chen Zhong, smiling with a hint of concern in her eyes, “Chen Zhong, how are you doing now?”
Chen Zhong looked at An Mian, feeling a warmth in his heart. An Mian could be considered his best friend in college.
Initially, Chen Zhong had a few friends, but after he had a falling out with Qin Jun over his girlfriend, those friends distanced themselves from him, fearing Qin Jun’s background.
Only An Mian remained the same, never abandoning him. Moreover, An Mian’s identity was quite significant; her father was An Feng, the head of Jiangjing City, a real power holder, a high-ranking governor with substantial authority.
As the governor’s daughter, An Mian’s status was unquestionable. Yet, she was so kind and gentle to Chen Zhong, a poor boy. Chen Zhong was not oblivious to An Mian’s feelings.
Unfortunately, in his previous life, Chen Zhong was entirely focused on Su Ya, ignoring An Mian by his side. After the apocalypse, An Mian even died protecting him!
This was Chen Zhong’s greatest regret in his previous life. Some things are only cherished after they are lost….
An Mian looked at Chen Zhong dazedly. She had liked him from the beginning, perhaps because of his resilience or his talent.
She softly comforted him, “It seems you’ve figured it out, Chen Zhong. Su Ya left you for Qin Jun’s money. She’s not worth it, and she’ll be dumped eventually. Don’t be too sad….”
‘Su Ya…’ Chen Zhong felt a slight pain in his heart as memories resurfaced.
Su Ya was his girlfriend. They had been together since high school and entered Jiangjing University together, becoming a well-known couple.
He loved her so much and thought they would eventually marry and grow old together….
But after Qin Jun appeared, Su Ya betrayed him within less than a month and became Qin Jun’s woman!
What hurt Chen Zhong the most was that, despite treating Su Ya like a goddess and not even holding hands in their two-year relationship, she lost her virginity to Qin Jun within days of being with him!
This deeply hurt Chen Zhong and made him hate Qin Jun to the core….
In his previous life, this incident left Chen Zhong disoriented, and he even considered giving up and dying when the apocalypse arrived.
It was An Mian who always protected him, ultimately dying in a horde of zombies to save him. Thinking of this, Chen Zhong felt a renewed hatred for Qin Jun. An Mian’s death was also partly Qin Jun’s fault!
But fortunately, An Mian was still alive now!
