Song Qingzhou was bitten by a zombie, then opened her eyes and realized she had been reborn
She had been reborn in her college dorm. Her roommates' violent attempts to wake her were more like a beating. Song Qingzhou sat up, red marks on her face, and was about to scold them when she suddenly noticed an unfamiliar woman in the room.
The strange thing was, even though they had never met, the woman's name appeared in her mind automatically.
Song Qingzhou rubbed her shoulder and covered her face, her thoughts muddled. She eyed Su Qiuyue suspiciously. “...You're Su Qiuyue? What year are you in, and which dorm are you from?”
Before Su Qiuyue could answer, the others exploded.
“Qingqing, she's your childhood friend!”
“Qing-jie, you even confessed to her!”
“Qingqing, let's get you to the campus clinic! No, the hospital!”
Childhood friend? Confessed?
Song Qingzhou was completely baffled. When had she ever done anything like that? Where had this fair-skinned, tall childhood friend come from?
The woman, who had been sitting still, suddenly covered her face and began to sob. “...Qingqing, even if I didn't give you an answer and broke your heart, you don't have to punish me like this...”
Song Qingzhou: ...
??????
Hello? Excuse me?
Who are you?!?!?!?!
So pale, so cold to the touch. Could she be a high-level zombie with self-awareness?
Had she been reborn, or had she entered some kind of mental space?
Song Qingzhou made no effort to hide her suspicious stare at Su Qiuyue, so they dragged her straight to the campus clinic.
The campus doctor said she was fine. Back in the dorm, Song Qingzhou watched Su Qiuyue carefully for a long time and realized the woman was a delicate young lady through and through. She couldn't open bottle caps or turn door handles, fell over in a breeze, was always getting sick, and had a terrifyingly low body temperature.
She seemed harmless, but Song Qingzhou knew perfectly well that she hadn't lost her memories. Su Qiuyue couldn't possibly be her childhood friend, and she couldn't possibly have confessed to her.
There was definitely something wrong with Su Qiuyue!
Song Qingzhou carved out a little time from her preparations for the apocalypse and came up with an excuse to take Su Qiuyue to the bathhouse. She deliberately loosened Su Qiuyue's towel and looked her over from head to toe.
Her body was beautifully curved, with flawless, pale skin and not a single scar.
Su Qiuyue was unexpectedly calm. When Song Qingzhou finished looking, she simply picked up her towel.
Song Qingzhou apologized and turned to leave, but Su Qiuyue handed her the towel and pressed against her again, as boneless as ever.
Song Qingzhou's face went bright red. She tried to shove her away in irritation. “What are you doing?”
Su Qiuyue clung to her hand, refusing to let go. She rested her head on Song Qingzhou's shoulder and coughed twice, looking utterly frail. “Maybe I caught a chill just now. My hands and feet feel so heavy, and I'm dizzy...”
Song Qingzhou shut her eyes so she wouldn't have to look at all that bare skin. “Hurry up and wrap yourself in the towel!”
A pair of arms wrapped around her neck. The icy woman pressed close to her ear and whispered, “No.”
“Song Qingzhou, you were the one who knocked off my towel. You have to take responsibility~”

The apocalypse arrived right on schedule. A day ahead of time, Song Qingzhou took her roommates to the safe house she had prepared. She settled Chi Xinran and Shi Wan'an into a small room, then called Su Qiuyue into another room by herself.
As soon as she stepped inside, Su Qiuyue was shackled with thick iron chains.
As if crushed, Su Qiuyue went limp and fell to the floor. She raised her head, eyes full of alarm. “What are you doing? Qingqing, people value freedom in relationships nowadays. You can't force someone. That's against the law!”
Song Qingzhou's mouth twitched. “...”
Who said anything about forcing you? Who said anything about love?
“Tell me who you really are. Have I been reborn, or have you pulled me into your mental space?” Song Qingzhou gripped Su Qiuyue by the throat and demanded an answer in a low voice.
Su Qiuyue looked confused. “What are you talking about? Qingqing, are you having another episode?”
Song Qingzhou tightened her grip. “If you don't tell me, I'll strangle you.”
Su Qiuyue seemed to find that funny. Her act of panic fell away, and she lifted her delicate neck in defiance. “Go ahead. Kill me, if you have the guts.”
“Can you bring yourself to?”
Song Qingzhou sneered. Why wouldn't she? If this ‘person’ was really a zombie, there was no reason to hesitate.
She tightened her grip, and Su Qiuyue's face turned purple.
Just a little longer, just a little more, and this unidentified ‘person’ would be dead.
The sound of something heavy hitting the floor rang out at the same time as the clatter of chains.
At the last moment, Song Qingzhou let go.
She dusted off her hands and looked down at the woman on the floor with a faint smile. “I've changed my mind. I'll let you live a little longer.”

Before long, Song Qingzhou learned Su Qiuyue's true identity: the Zombie Queen.
At last, all the patience and restraint she had shown had somewhere to go. Now she could kill her without a second thought and eliminate the threat once and for all.
But strangely, images connected to Su Qiuyue began appearing in her mind from time to time. They stirred her emotions and made her soften toward Su Qiuyue again and again.
Later, when the truth finally came to light, she learned just how deep their bond ran.
The author has built a mountain of personal headcanons.

"Say thank you dad." ""Catch a big bug for the author ~ "Say thank you mom", this character is a female
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 😭 Please don't torture us Xiao Su anymore 😭 😭
Is this a conceived world or a return to the past?
Just tell others that the world is going to end. No normal person will believe it. At least you have to come up with something to prove 😂, or use some special words and methods.
"Say thank you, dad." "Catch a big bug for the author ~ "Say thank you, mom."
Song Qingzhou, why do you have such a lovely wife and I don't? 😭 😭 😭
Suddenly I felt that Su Qiuyue was so cute 🤩
It's over, over, over?!
You said, in the last parallel world. Song Hui regained her memory before the apocalypse, and she still protected the two little ones safely under her wings. The apocalypse also ended with the efforts of Chi Shiyue, Xiaoli and others, and mankind actively rebuilt order. But in this world, there is no one named Su Qiuyue. It was Su's last bit of power that made this world come into being. Will Song Qingzhou remember her?
