Unscientific Survival in the Apocalypse

In her previous life, Du Shengsheng was an orphan, raised at a Taoist temple by an old Taoist who did nothing but swindle and cheat.

After finally getting into college, the apocalypse struck. She struggled to survive, only to be used as a human shield and killed by several classmates. She had never enjoyed a good day in her life, and thought: ...Who was it that said studying could change your fate?

Fortunately, after zombies ripped her apart, Du Shengsheng opened her eyes and discovered she had been reborn!

She had even returned to the last day for submitting her college entrance exam preferences, six months before the apocalypse.

This time, Du Shengsheng sneered. "Anyone who wants to go to this lousy school can go."

The old Taoist, with an otherworldly bearing and a face full of wrinkles, leaned in behind her to take a look. "What? What school? Which university are you going to?"

Du Shengsheng: "..."

Starting over, with the apocalypse inevitably arriving in six months, Du Shengsheng chose to seek the Tao rather than rely on others or herself.

Drawing talismans and fortune-telling, which she'd always thought were just scams? She'd learn them!

Laying out formations and concocting pills, which she'd thought were only for show? She'd learn them!

Practicing exercises and performing rituals, which might or might not improve her health? She'd learn them!

Anything to do with Taoist arts that the old Taoist could teach, Du Shengsheng learned it all.

She was simply too scared. She could only hope the Boundless Heavenly Worthy would bless this disciple, seeing how sincere she was. TAT

Half a month later.

Looking at the girl who had learned every skill he possessed and was now kneeling without rising before the Hall of Longevity, the old Taoist said earnestly, "Sheng'er, believe in science and reject superstition."

Du Shengsheng: "???"

One month after the apocalypse began.

A virus broke out in the center of City B. Zombies surrounded the city, and the army stood ready to deploy.

On the roads, countless people fled in terror and panic, running for their lives. Only one strange woman stood out: she wore a blue-green Taoist robe, carried a long sword on her back, and had a pitch-black beast at her side.

She walked against the flow of people, heading resolutely toward the agricultural botanical park, which had already fallen.

This is no good. Ever since she started raising the big fellow at her feet, their food supply has been disappearing fast. Even the landlord's family is out of grain!

Du Shengsheng wept: ...So, is there still time to start the apocalypse farming and land-reclamation route?

The Taoist-robed woman sighed as she walked, raising her sword to cut down the occasional zombie that lunged at her.

The people nearby were horrified to see it, then overjoyed and eager to approach her for help.

Du Shengsheng impatiently swung her sword. "Fate decides life and death, and heaven decides wealth and status. Stay away from me."

One person refused to give up and asked, "What does that mean?"

Du Shengsheng: "...Never heard the saying, 'Let your fellow Taoist die, but not you'?!"
