Chapter 1: Rebirth and Revenge, Bound to the Fishing System

Jiangcheng, Longcheng Imperial View Apartments.

Ye Feng looked around. The leather sofa, the transparent coffee table, the gray floor tiles... and Xiaobai, the pet dog at his feet!

"This is so familiar... This is my home!"

"But didn't Li Yating and Li Yufan kill me?"

Ye Feng's eyes suddenly lit up. "Could it be... I've been reborn?"

He impatiently picked up his phone. The screen clearly displayed: April 4, 2060, Blue Star Calendar!

Ye Feng was ecstatic. "Haha, I really have been reborn! I’ve returned to the days after the apocalypse began... wait."

Ye Feng suddenly realized something, his voice cutting off abruptly, his face filled with astonishment.

"April 4, 2060... that’s the fourth day after the apocalypse!"

"Why? If I was reborn, why couldn't it have been earlier?"

With a complex expression, Ye Feng looked down at his attire—thick clothing, clutching a dagger in his hand. He frowned, struggling to remember what he was supposed to be doing at this moment.

Just then, a displeased voice came from behind him. "Ye Feng, what are you dawdling for? Muttering to yourself... why aren't you out looking for food yet?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Ye Feng froze for a moment, and then a monstrous rage surged in his heart. It was her! His girlfriend, Li Yating!

Memories flooded back like a tidal wave.

On April 1, 2060, a sudden blood-red mist swept across the entire planet. Half of humanity was transformed into zombies, and most of the remaining half died at the hands of the undead. Less than twenty percent of the human population survived. Zombies were not only vicious but also evolved through mutation. Fortunately, some survivors awakened special abilities, preventing total human extinction.

Ye Feng and his girlfriend, Li Yating, were both survivors, and both had eventually awakened abilities. Li Yating was his first love—fair-skinned, beautiful, tall, and exceptionally skilled at manipulating men. Ye Feng had been completely infatuated, giving her everything she wanted. Even after the apocalypse, he had pampered her and obeyed her every whim.

Tragically, his sincere heart was met with her heartless betrayal.

One day, returning home early after being injured during a scavenging mission, Ye Feng caught his girlfriend, Li Yating, and Li Yufan in the act. They were on his own bed, engaging in vile, shameless behavior. Ye Feng stood there, stunned, as if struck by lightning. He never imagined his beautiful girlfriend would do such a thing.

He roared in fury, questioning them. "You two bastards, what are you doing?"

To his surprise, they quickly recovered from their panic. "Ye Feng, right? Your woman seduced me first," Li Yufan said with an air of entitlement. He had the right to say so; although his ability wasn't strong, he was the son of a high-ranking official in the war zone—a typical rich second-generation heir with immense family power. "As compensation, I can give you a chance. There's a vacancy for a deputy captain in the Seventh Search Team; you can fill it."

"I don't give a damn!" Ye Feng, burning with rage, felt utterly humiliated. He looked at Li Yating, his heart feeling as though it were being pierced by knives. "Why did you betray me?"

Li Yating showed no remorse, her expression calm. "Ye Feng, just accept Yufan's terms. We aren't married, after all. Love is free, so strictly speaking, this isn't betrayal. Besides, Yufan has already taken care of me; what more do you want?"

Ye Feng's eyes turned blood-red. He completely lost his mind. "Bitch!" He charged at them like a madman, swinging his blade, even managing to crush Li Yufan’s crotch in the chaos. However, weakened by his injuries, he failed to kill them before the guards arrived.

Ye Feng was thrown into the war zone prison, while Li Yufan and Li Yating were treated by healers and quickly recovered. Once healed, Li Yufan unleashed cruel vengeance on Ye Feng, subjecting him to endless torture. Though Li Yufan’s body was repaired, Ye Feng’s actions had left him with deep psychological trauma, leaving him impotent and ruined forever.

Ye Feng lived in misery, harboring a burning hatred, waiting for a chance to take revenge. But he never got the opportunity; he died in the corner of the prison like a dog.

...

Fortunately, he had been reborn!

Right now, Ye Feng was trembling with excitement. Li Yating walked up to him, frowning. "Ye Feng, what are you doing? I saw in the residents' group that Lin Haotian on the 8th floor found a large amount of supplies from his neighbor's place. You coward, get out there!"

A cold sneer tugged at the corner of Ye Feng's mouth. *Looking for food? Go to hell.*

In his previous life, stimulated by Li Yating like this, he had rushed out blindly. Though he hadn't been eaten by zombies, his right cheek was slashed by glass, leaving him disfigured and causing Li Yating to despise him.

Seeing that Ye Feng ignored her, Li Yating flew into a rage. "What kind of look is that? If you're a man, go find food! Don't make me look down on you!"

*Smack!*

Ye Feng erupted, slamming a heavy slap across her face!

"You bitch!"

Li Yating was in disbelief. "Ye Feng, you dare hit me?! Have you lost your mind?" Holding her swollen left cheek, she shrieked, "I'm telling you, Ye Feng, we're finished! Even if you kneel like a dog, I won't forgive you—"

Before she could finish, Ye Feng backhanded her with another heavy slap!

*Smack!*

Li Yating's face swelled into a pig's head, and she spun around, crashing to the floor.

"Ahhh! You bastard, you're an animal! I'll kill you!" Li Yating scrambled up to pounce on him.

Ye Feng grinned, slowly raising his dagger. The sharp blade glinted with a cold light. Li Yating froze, her angry curses dying in her throat. A chill ran down her spine.

"Ye... Ye Feng, calm down... what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? Naturally, I'm killing you!" Ye Feng’s gaze was icy as he stepped toward her.

Terrified, Li Yating backed away. She had a feeling that Ye Feng truly intended to kill her. "Why? Don't you love me anymore? What about our vows of eternal love?"

"Consider them just words!"

"No! I don't believe it! You loved me before..." Li Yating wailed hysterically.

"Before was before, now is now! You only disgust me now."

Ye Feng sneered and swung the dagger!

"No... don't!" Li Yating cried out in terror.

*Flash!*

*Squelch!*

The dagger easily slit her throat!

"Ah... gurgle!" Blood sprayed from Li Yating's neck. She tried to cover the wound in a panic, but the blood wouldn't stop flowing. "Ye Feng, why... gurgle..."

Her body swayed, unable to stand. Ye Feng stepped forward and kicked her hard in the abdomen. *Thud!* Li Yating collapsed heavily to the floor. Ye Feng straddled her chest and stabbed down repeatedly!

*Stab! Stab! Stab!*

His gaze remained cold, his movements relentless. One, two, three... He didn't stop until her body was a mangled mess and she stopped moving completely.

Li Yating was dead!

"Hahaha..." Ye Feng laughed wildly. His vengeance was served! The excitement was palpable. "Bah, bitch! Dying so easily is too good for you!"

Ye Feng stood up, his gaze extremely cold. There was still another target: Li Yufan.

"In this life, I will make sure to pay you back properly... Li Yufan," Ye Feng whispered. Li Yufan wasn't in Jiangcheng right now, but as long as he survived, he would surely cross paths with him again, following the trajectory of his past life.

When that time came...

Ye Feng let out a long breath, wiped his hands with a tissue, went to the kitchen to grab a meat cleaver, returned, decapitated Li Yating, and threw her head into the trash can. It wasn't that he was a deviant; it was just to prevent her from turning into a zombie.

After finishing, Ye Feng sat on the sofa, looking out the window. Outside, the blood-red mist was pervasive, and zombies roamed freely.

He felt at ease. Looking around, the only food in the house was the dog... and dog food. The dog had been so frightened by his actions that it had tucked its tail and run into the bedroom. But there was plenty of dog food left.

Ye Feng squinted. Risk his life to go out for supplies? Not a chance! He could survive these few days on dog food and dog meat, and then go out once his ability awakened. Wouldn't that be better?

"As long as I can successfully awaken an ability, even a weak one from my past life, it doesn't matter. I can use my knowledge of the future to snatch the opportunities of the strong and grow powerful quickly..."

Li Yufan had a powerful backing; only by growing strong could he exact his revenge.

"In my past life, I lived in fear, walking on thin ice... but in this life, I will firmly grasp my fate in my own hands!"

"My fate is determined by me, not heaven!" Ye Feng vowed silently.

Just then, a mechanical, electronic sound rang in his ears.
