Chapter 1 Return
Lin Guzhi walked out of the darkness and took a deep breath.

After three years, he finally came back.

Three years ago, he graduated from Haicheng University. While running around looking for a job, he inexplicably stepped into darkness and traveled to another world.

That world is a scene of apocalypse, madness, chaos, cruelty, and terror. All order has disappeared, and all unreasonable things are reasonable.

He struggled in the world that was gradually collapsing, running wildly on the edge of life and death, thinking that he would eventually accompany the world to its end. However, he did not expect that when everything returned to chaos and all life was gone, he would still have a chance to come back.

——With an orphan from the end of the world.

He picked up a little girl who looked about three or four years old.

The little girl was thin, with dry and yellow hair, and looked a little malnourished. She only looked three or four years old, but in fact she was a little older. She was a little thin because of malnutrition.

When being held in Lin Guzhi's arms, those two eyes looked around with a somewhat frightened expression, filled with curiosity and fear of this strange world.

That is Lord Long’s daughter.

Three years ago, he traveled to that devastated world, and was able to survive thanks to Long Ye's shelter and care.

Over the past three years, under the guidance of Long Ye, he has learned how to survive and fight, and has grown step by step to become the first person in the apocalypse. Without Long Ye, he would never have the opportunity to return today.

When Lord Long died, he asked him to take good care of Xiaoxi. How could he go back on his word?

So at the moment before the world collapsed, he saw the black hole that had once pulled him into the end of the world sweeping him away, and he grabbed Xiaoxi without hesitation.

"We can finally go home. Xiaoxi, let's go home."

He took a few greedy deep breaths before speaking to the little girl in his arms.

The little girl listened and watched silently in Lin Guzhi's arms, without any response to Lin Guzhi's words.

Lin Guzhi didn't wait for Xiaoxi's response.

This girl always keeps silent when she is scared. When she is extremely scared, her eyes will blink as if she is bewildered by the wind and sand.

Lin Guzhi saw Xiaoxi blinking at the strange world, so it was impossible to expect her to respond to him at this time.

It was probably noon. The weather was warm and the wind was gentle.

The streets are still busy, and the trees on the street are still lush at this time of year. However, some of the roadside shops under the shade of the trees have changed their signs. The music playing on the speakers is also unfamiliar and mouth-watering.

The two people were wearing patched clothes from the end of the world with scarce resources, like two wanderers. When the pedestrians passed by Lin Guzhi, they all looked at him strangely.

But Lin Guzhi turned a blind eye to all this.

He had long since learned to ignore everything except life and death, and he didn't care about the strange looks.

"Xiao Xi, did you see that? That's a car on the road. It's different from the ones in that world. It looks sleeker and prettier, and has more functions. It's a pity we don't have money, otherwise we could take a taxi home."

"The one in front is a street lamp. It will light up at night and illuminate the night."

"Those are the police, they are there to maintain law and order. This world doesn't have that kind of super mysterious power, nor do it have many crazy people. Anyway, with them around, we are safe."

"Of course, with our current strength, we don't have to worry about any danger in this world. Anyway, I'll take care of everything, Xiaoxi."

"That's a store. There's a lot of food for sale in the store, and there's also Coke. I don't know if you can accept it. Anyway, I miss it a lot. Unfortunately, I don't have money now. I'll wait until later."

"Look at the mobile phones people hold, they have changed a lot. The screens have become bigger..."

"This is a console game store next to it. The consoles seem to have been upgraded. I took a look and I don't recognize any of the games inside. Three years have passed and I've missed a lot. I have to make up for it later!"

Lin Guzhi spoke one sentence after another, but he was actually talking to himself.

Xiaoxi is still very young and knows nothing about this world. It is impossible for her to understand what Lin Guzhi said for the time being.

When Lin Guzhi said these words, he was making a promise to Xiaoxi, and also to himself.

You don’t have to worry about life and death in the future, you must live well!
"Let's go find Dubin first. He was my college roommate and a local tycoon. Three years have passed, and I'm afraid the house I used to rent is no longer available. Now I have no choice but to find him first."

Lin Guzhi held Xiaoxi in his arms and walked towards the direction of his memory.

His cell phone had been blown up in the war at the end of the world, so he couldn't make calls. Otherwise, he would just need to make a phone call and wait for Dubin to pick him up.

Fortunately, the strength he had gained in the other world allowed him to walk any distance without feeling tired. He walked briskly with Xiaoxi in his arms, which impressed passers-by.

——The homeless man was running so fast, as if he was being chased by a dog. After a while, he arrived at the gate of a high-end villa community, but was stopped by the security guard.

But the security guard was very well behaved and friendly. He didn't treat them coldly because of their tattered clothes. The security guard asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Doberman, Building 3, Area B."

Lin Guzhi reported Doberman's house number.

"Ah, Boss Du."

The security guard knew the owners of the community very well. As soon as Lin Guzhi said the name, the security guard immediately remembered who it was.

Lin Guzhi didn't expect that after not seeing him for three years, Du Bin had been promoted to Boss Du.

The security guard said, "That's really unfortunate. Boss Du has been away for the past two days. Didn't you contact Boss Du in advance?"

Lin Guzhi said: "My phone is broken. Can you lend me your phone?"

The security guard hesitated for a moment, obviously not wanting to lend it.

However, he finally lent out his cell phone, and even looked up Du Bin's phone number in the owner's address book and helped Lin Guzhi dial the number.

This security guard is a good guy.

Lin Guzhi thought.

"Beep...beep..."

The call was connected, and a familiar voice came from the receiver, "Hello? Who is that?"

"it's me."

Lin Guzhi said two words,

Before he even had time to say his name, he heard Dubin swear in the receiver:

"Fuck! Lao Lin?! Where the hell have you been for the past three years?! You disappeared for such a long time without any reason. I thought you were tricked into going abroad to get rich!"

When Lin Guzhi heard Du Bin's swear words, he felt very close to him. He could tell that the surprise in Du Bin's words could not be hidden.

This roommate of four years in college was still my best friend after all. He must have missed me a lot during the three years I was missing.

"It's a long story, let's talk about it later. I have something urgent to trouble you with first."

Lin Guzhi said.

Du Bin said, "What are you talking about? If you have something to say, just tell me directly."

Lin Guzhi said, "I just came back and have nowhere to stay. I don't have a penny on me, and I borrowed this phone from the security guard in your community. You have to arrange a place for me to stay."

Dubin immediately said, "That's easy. You find a place to stay first, and I'll pay when you come back."

Lin Guzhi said: "I don't have an ID card, so I can't stay in the hotel."

Du Bin said, "Go to the police station to get a certificate. Go to the police station and say you forgot to bring your ID card when you checked into the hotel. Ask them to check and give you a certificate of accommodation."

Lin Guzhi touched Xiaoxi's head and said, "It's easy for me to talk, but the problem is that I have a little girl with me. She doesn't have a hukou, and I'm still single. If there's anything inappropriate, I can't avoid checking. I don't want to get into trouble."

Xiaoxi still stood quietly beside Lin Guzhi, being very well behaved.

"..."

Dubin hesitated for a long time before asking, "How old?"

Lin Guzhi replied: "Three years old."

"I...fuck..."

Du Bin couldn't help but swear, "You used to have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and you looked innocent, but now you're so extravagant?! After all this time and three years of not seeing you, is it because you killed someone?!"
