Rebirth in the Apocalypse: Third Time's a Charm



"No," replied Liu Wei as he stared at the older man in front of him. His grandfather looked completely different than the last time he saw him. Gone was the older man with the wrinkles and the hunched back. In his place was a man that looked like he was in his mid-40s.

Liu Wei and Liu Yu Zeng exchanged a look before turning their attention back to their grandfather. "We are here simply because we are on our way to City A and wanted to check in on you. Last we checked, you were still our grandfather," said Liu Yu Zeng as he leaned against a window, his arms crossed in front of him. He was too uncomfortable with the situation in front of him.

He watched as Wu Bai Hee reached over to pat their grandfather's leg. "Now, Liu Hao Yu," she said, practically purring, "You know that Liu Wei and Wang Chao are important. It is good that they are trying to mend the bridges that they burned before leaving the first time. We should welcome them."

"Fine," sighed their grandfather, and with a wave of his hand, he invited the four men to sit down on the couches. "If that is what you want, then that is what will happen."

"Thank you so much, Liu Hao Yu," she said softly. "You are so good to me," she continued as she leaned back against the couch she was sitting on.

Their grandfather grunted in pleasure while he looked at the young woman beside him. However, with his attention so fixed on Wu Bai Hee, he never noticed that the men didn't do as he asked.

"You are no longer calling him grandfather," smirked Liu Yu Zeng, his tongue becoming as poisonous as his power. "Has your relationship improved that much?"

"Get your mind out of the gutter, boy, before I knock some sense into you," said Liu Yu Zeng's grandfather coming out of his chair much smoother than he could even ten years ago.

"You can try, old man," answered Liu Yu Zeng. Their grandfather might appear and act like he was 30 years younger, but that didn't mean that he wasn't still 75 years old. Not to mention a bullet in the right place will kill him as fast as anything else.

"Is this what you learned from that whore?" demanded Liu Hao Yu stalking toward his grandchildren.  This time all four of the men straightened up, coming to their full heights, and looked down on the man in front of them.

"That is what we learned from you, so yes, I guess you are correct in that," responded Liu Wei without batting an eye. It took his grandfather a few minutes to understand that he was calling him a whore.

"How dare you?!?" he started looking between the two boys that shared his DNA.

"How did you get so young?" asked Wang Chao, interjecting in a conversation that would quickly become a brawl if the others had any say in the matter.

"What do you mean?" sniffed Liu Hao Yu turning around and walking back to his seat and Wu Bei Hee.I think you should take a look at

"Don't you think it's amazing? Now your grandfather can run the syndicate for years to come," added Wu Bai Hee as she put her hand on the other man's thigh.

"It is," said Liu Wei with a nod of his head. "Now you will have no reason not to marry him," he continued with a sharp smile that practically drew blood.

There was silence at his words. Wu Bai Hee's face turned pale, but Liu Hao Yu smiled in delight. "You just might be on to something there," the older man said with a smile turning to look at the young woman at his side. He either didn't notice her paleness or choose to ignore it.

"But we need Wang Chao and Liu Wei, remember?" she whispered to Liu Hao Yu. Maybe she whispered too loudly on purpose or by accident, but either way, the guys were able to hear what she said perfectly.

"And why do you need us?" asked Wang Chao with a straight face. He walked over to the couch and sat down on the middle cushion. Looking at the woman across from him, he studied her. "Or is it more that you won't need us until we transform into zombies and control the world?" he continued.

Wang Chao had originally thought that maybe Wu Bai Hee had either been reborn or had transmigrated before the zombie outbreak because of how she acted the last time they were here. However, knowing what he knew now and knowing that the women who either experienced rebirth or transmigrated were their alleged soul mates, he was going to play for a while before killing her.

He didn't want her blood on Li Dai Lu's hands if he could help it.

"I know you aren't here for me," he continued, staring at the woman. He wasn't concerned that she could get into his head as easily as anyone else's, so he wanted to make sure that her whole attention was on him and no one else.

"And if you aren't here for him, then you must be here for me," continued Liu Wei as he went to go stand behind Wang Chao. "Or are you going to wait until Wang Chao becomes the supreme Alpha before you make your move?"

Wang Chao watched as Wu Bai Hee's eyes narrowed in anger.  "No, this has nothing to do with me," he said slowly, and the expression on her face confirmed his words. "This has everything to do with you. I can only assume that she wants to guide your path to being the Alpha and me being your Beta."

"Ah, like that girl wanted to do with Chen Zi Han back at the City Y Sanctuary," nodded Liu Yu Zeng, adding his voice to the conversation. Chen Zi Han simply snorted. "I assume that it is going to turn out the same way too?" 

Wang Chao and Liu Wei both grunted in agreement. Wu Bai Hee's hours were numbered. There was no question about that. Rather they would get whatever information that they could from her before sending her to her death.
