Resurrection

"Am I still alive?" Emilia Lu says as she stares blankly at the younger 24-year-old image of herself in the mirror of her old home. This is the place where Emilia Lu spent six years ago. The house she invested nearly all of her money on when she relocated to City A for a fresh start eight years before her death.

Emilia searches for her cell, her hand fumbling on the dresser next to her. While in her grasp, she quickly flips it in and takes it to her face, which is now staring in horror at the mirror in front of her. The date seven years ago, 15 April 20XX, is clearly shown on the phone of her Apple 6.

"I returned...I'm back!!!"

She is still in a state of disbelief, she claims.

"But I vividly recall dropping from the peak of the foundation wall.

And if the crash didn't destroy me, the zombies at the bottom might have."

Slowly struggling to the window, Emilia Lu desperately grasps the curtains covering the window in her paws, wishing that it will not be broken after opening these curtains that block her from the truth of the outside, the vision of the damaged universe, believing that this is not a trance, her latest wishful thinking before her spirit vanishes and meets the others in Nirvana.

After gradually calming down and accepting that this might all be an illusion, Emilia opens the curtains with a single step, eager for this phantom reality to stop. Still, she is faced with the busy street directly in front of her flat. People employed on both sides of the lane, heavy traffic, and crowded stores. The same scene in how the planet used to be.

"I'm back.

IT'S ALL TRUE!!

I'm here!"

Finally allowing the realization of her redemption to set home, Emilia sheds tears of joy and excitement as she gazes out the window. A simple scene that reflects a lot, a fresh shot at life, a chance to do something differently. To be willing to live rather than only endure, as she had done in her previous existence.

Emilia was deep in contemplation as a milky childish sweet voice cut into her bravery.

"What are you, Mommy? Are you okay, Mommy?"

Emilia immediately turns around to look in the direction of the echo.

And there was her 6-year-old son right outside the house!!!

Only then did Emilia remember that if she had gone back in time, her son, who died two years after the apocalypse from a zombie bite because one of the people at the base shifted, should still be alive at this time.

Honestly, the only explanation she could last as long as she did after her son's death was her thirst for vengeance. She had to battle until the end for all the zombies... to avenge her son, who died at the start of his life. He died before he had a chance to rise.

Also, Xiaolin was her only remaining family member. Emilia had fled to City A from the Capital after being pregnant with him at the age of 18, after a drunken night at the pub, so that she could survive and raise him in safety.

Though it was cowardly of her to flee, she couldn't bear the idea of her parents and brother being disappointed in her.

The thought of it terrified her, but she also didn't want to give up her daughter, so she did what she thought was best and quit.

Resurrection 2.0

"Here goes nothing," Emilia said to herself, staring at the tall building in front of her. She was standing directly outside Zeus Community, where she worked. After taking a deep breath, Emilia proudly stepped into the house, welcoming everyone she recognized as well as those she couldn't yet nevertheless greeted.

Emilia arrived at her department after a short stroll. She was the object of focus the moment she stepped in.

"Good morning, Emilia!" A cheerful voice came from one of the desks.

"Good morning, Courtney; how are you?"

"I'm fine; how come you didn't come to work yesterday?" She inquired.

"I'm fine; my son was ill yesterday, so I had to look after him," Emilia responded as she stood at her computer.

"Oh, I hope he's all right now," Courtney said something that seemed a little concerned, or so she figured. She wouldn't have been shocked if it was said sarcastically because most people don't think highly of single mothers, particularly those her age.

"Don't be concerned; he's well now," Emilia replied as she turned on her monitor and logged in for work.

"That's great." Courtney frowned as she returned to her seat to resume her duties.

Emilia picked up her files to continue reading after things had settled down, and she had told her colleagues that everything was well between both herself and little Qin.

She officially started working after she had a better sense of what she had been working on during this text.................

"Okay, students, we're going to read Macbeth today, so bring your books out and change to page 47, please," said Mr. Anderson, Qin Lu's English tutor.

Qin Lu went into a trance after a few minutes of reading and looked at the book in front of him. He couldn't believe he was back in time to a year before the apocalypse.

When the apocalypse first broke out, his mother and he were all able to flee to the military base built on the outskirts of City A. I was the base for the first two years, but things went south throughout the second year. One of the survivors at the base had drunk polluted water and turned. His sudden change caught everybody off guard, and by the time the base responded, it was too late. He had poisoned others, and one of the victims was his mother. She'd been bitten when defending him from a zombie. He survived the ordeal, but she did not. He recalled the day for the next four years of his life. For four years, he had hated himself for his mother's death and had wished for a way to put it better, to redo it. And he received it! He had not expected to be resurrected, let alone resurrected a year in advance. 8 He was determined that it would be better this time. He'd also determined that this year he'd do whatever he could to gather supplies to bring his mother to a secure location before the apocalypse begins. He was trying to be certain that she lived on in the greatest possible way. And maybe, just maybe, he'll be able to find his father again.

Yes, he desired to locate his father. As an 8-year-old boy in the apocalypse, there was no way he should have survived as long as he did. He would have existed longer if it hadn't been for an injury. He only made it this far when his father discovered him. Even though they had met by chance, his father had looked after him for the whole four years they had been married. He also showed him how to battle and live in the zombie apocalypse.

He could not think he would have survived this long without him, but he wished that they would be able to meet earlier in this existence to become a team and work together earlier.

He didn't think he couldn't manage that for his expertise. During his time with his father, he discovered that he had been a member of the army before the apocalypse. He also knew his father's past, or should he say present, address and that his father would be on vacation during this time, so if he could find a way to inform his father about his and his mother's existence and leave him a few clues, he was confident his father would find them soon enough, and they could reunite sooner.

Qin Lu picked up his book and started reading again, in a happier mood than ever before, after contemplating what he will do in the future.

Breakfast is served.

"Are you all right, Mommy? Is there anything wrong?" Asked Qin Lu, perplexedly looking at his mother, who was foolishly staring at him in a daze, tears streaming down her two pale white cheeks.

Emilia Lu runs forward to her son and hugs him as tightly as she can after being jolted out of her trance by her son. As if she had to tattoo him on her body so he wouldn't abandon her again.

Qin Lu was taken aback by his mother's odd conduct. Since he could recall, his mother had always been a happy girl, and he had seldom seen her weep. She never does anything in front of him, at least not in front of him.

Little Qin awkwardly patted his mother on the shoulder, doing all he could to calm his mother's volatile feelings and attempting to sort out what was going on.

"I'm going to be late for kindergarten, Mom." Little Qin began to find it uncomfortable to stay there for another two minutes, so he tried to distract his mother with something he realized she wouldn't be able to forget.

"What about school? SCHOOL IS Correct! You're already in school now, "Emilia Lu exclaims when she eventually breaks out of her mental trance.

"Come on, let's get you ready for training. So, you get dressed, and I'll give you breakfast." Emilia, who was already out of the room and around the corner, spoke up. "Okay, then. That was strange."

'Oh my goodness, that was embarrassing. I'm curious as to what the brat is saying right now. 'I'm positive he's smiling at me.' Emilia has a good cause to be concerned about this situation. Qin Lu has always been a bright boy, almost too intelligent at times, making us wonder if that brat was an adult trapped in a child's body. He still wore a frown on his forehead as though the whole universe owed him money.

Emilia had been so worried about this for a long time that she had brought him to see several specialists to learn about the little boy's condition. Of course, she'd been reassured many times that nothing was wrong and that her son was just like that, but it always bothered her that he hardly grinned.

When Emilia enters the familiar kitchen, she takes a moment to take in the scene before getting to work on a love-filled breakfast for her little iceberg. With a bottle of milk, I had some pancakes, bacon, sausage, and toast.

Qin, the kid, adored his milk!

Emilia heard him righteously saying with a straight face that he liked milk just because it supplied him with a lot of essential nutrition, not because he was a kid who appreciated milk like the rest of the kids his age.

Qin Lu hated children his age and declined to play or even interact with them because he thought they were too juvenile. He just talked with them when he was trapped in the same classroom with them for most of the year. And since he was a decent student who didn't bother instructors, he would reluctantly remember them. 1

"Breakfast is prepared!" Emilia screams from the dining room. After a minute, the sound of small footsteps on the wooden stairs indicates that Qin Lu has arrived to feed. He went directly to the kitchen to wash his hands before coming to sit across from his mother at the table.

"You don't have to ride the bus back like the other kids today, Baby Qin; I'll pick you up."

"Don't you have a job today?" "No, this is my day off," Qin Lu says as he finishes the remainder of his meal.

The bus honked loudly, right on schedule. "I'm sorry, but I have to go. Goodbye, Mom. "Before hurrying off to kindergarten, Little Qin kissed his mother on both cheeks.

"Goodbye, Kid! I'll see you then!"

wham! The echo of the door shutting followed little Qin's departure. Emilia will be officially left alone to process all that has transpired today and decide how to proceed from here.

Work

Ring Ring!!!! The now-familiar echo of her phone's ringtone shattered the stillness of the living space.

"How are you?"

"Hello, Miss Lu. My name is Michael, and I work in the HR department at Zeus Group. I was informed that you have not yet signed in for work, so I wanted to know whether you are running late. "What is the Zeus Group? What do you mean work?

Oh, I completely forgot I was still employed during this time frame. She had forgotten what common was after living in the apocalypse where there is no structure and decent employment where the only work you care about is feeding yourself and survival.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in today. My son has a high fever, and I need to look for him, so I won't be able to report in." Sorry, baby Qin, Mommy wants a day off to figure out my potential plans and digest all that has happened, so you can just be my little scapegoat.

Qin Lu felt a cold chill pass down his spine the whole journey in the bus.

'I wonder who is cursing me?' "But don't worry, sir, I'll be there tomorrow." Emilia went ahead. "Oh well, Miss Lu, I hope your son feels better shortly. See you then."

"I think so as well; bye."

That was a nail-biter. Unlike the other regeneration stars of apocalypse books, Emilia has no intention of quitting her work just yet. For one thing, her career was her and her family's only source of revenue. Plus, she wasn't sure whether the apocalypse might even happen a year after, but she'd prepare an escape route for herself just in case it didn't. Who knows, her regeneration may have thrown a wrench in the works.

Another excuse she didn't leave was because her career provided her with access to various supplies for the apocalypse. Important requirements. Food is served.

Emilia was employed as a food scientist for Zeus International, one of the country's most prominent corporate conglomerates. Her career provides her with access to a wide range of seeds, frozen foods, and even farms.

Her work allows her to visit farms through regular inspections, obtain seeds and even learn how to cultivate. Knowing how to cultivate your food during a zombie outbreak is a big benefit.

In the laboratories, she will find a way to extend the shelf life of packaged food and access a wide range of resources. It also provides her with a vast range of friends that might have links to what she needs.

Even if she had the benefit of anticipating what would happen because she had been resurrected, she wasn't sure she'd have enough time on her hands to create or boost the shelf life of items on her own, so assistance from colleagues with these activities would be greatly appreciated. Furthermore, she had spent so much time in the apocalypse that she was certain her abilities had degraded, and she lacked the faith and time to restore them, so continuing to work at Zeus Group was her safest and the cheapest choice.

Her pay is also very high, with an average salary of up to R250 000. Since the planet still operates on capital, the sum of money will be extremely useful throughout this planning period.

No matter how she looked at it, this work had given her a big advantage, but quitting was a dumb move. A course of action she was not going to pursue.

Make a plan

Emilia went upstairs to her apartment's study on the second floor after the phone call. She dashed in, grabbed some documents, and sat down by her desk to start organizing.

Many factors had to be considered to avoid the apocalypse. Plus, Emilia didn't want to live this life hanging by a thread as she had the previous. She, like those officials and military figures, desired to live peacefully in the final days. She wanted Qin Lu to grow up in a good atmosphere even through those difficult times, and to do so, she needed to plan ahead of time.

Though most people thought that food was the most valuable item to have in the apocalypse, Emilia could honestly claim that food was just second and shelter was the most important.

The apocalypse is named that for a reason: it is deadly from lawless individuals and existence itself.

A shelter will help keep you away from robbers, murderers, and wild storms. During the apocalypse, the temperature is either extreme summer or extreme winter. Much of the time, it is either very hot or very cold. Furthermore, it could rain for weeks on end. In reality, the weather killed more people than the zombies.

So Emilia's priority was to buy a home.

Not only did the house need to be safe, but so did the surrounding environment. With the arrival of the end times, the military built several bases in all major cities. And if some did slip, it was still the best place to be.

The best bases present in her previous existence were the bases in S City and H City. S City was the nearest to A City relative to H City, so she decided to go there.

Despite the dense populace, much of the country's political and military bases were stationed there, making it the busiest.

Emilia intended to purchase a home in the location where the foundation was constructed in her previous existence. The foundation was built around a new Villa area that was being built. She might purchase a house in the city until it became trendy and costly if she moved quickly enough. That way, she could ensure a secure haven for herself and little Qin when the end comes.

The next item in the chart was a nutritional supply. And if she could get seeds at college, it wasn't nearly enough.

She wanted to purchase several pre-packaged goods, such as rice, pasta, mielie meal, frozen food, cookies, chips, and gasoline.

Since fresh vegetables and meat could not be stored for long, seeds were prioritized. She could only purchase a huge quantity of meat, and she would have no room to store the cattle even though she could get her hands on them. There was just too much room in the Villa.

Milk seems to be a major concern as well. Little Qin adored milk, so she had to get it. The concern was that milk had a limited shelf life. And if she did figure out how to extend its shelf life, all of the milk would go bad at nearly the same moment, so that wasn't an option. She might bring him a ton of milk powder, but it wasn't the same. The nutrient content of milk powder was not quite as high as that of fresh milk.

Improving the nutritional value of powdered milk seems to be at the forefront of her priority list.

Emilia often needed access to adapted cars. This will make things easy for her to go out and collect supplies as she wanted to. Normal automobiles do not suffice.

Weapons can also be useful. Emilia had awakened the metal skill in her former existence, so she wasn't sure whether she would be able to awaken it in this life, so she decided to be prepared.

She couldn't get her hands on weapons with her civilian status, but knives, metal sticks, and bow and arrows might also be useful. She could also amass a large amount of metal in case she did awaken her power.

Obtaining gold and silver was another top target. Two years after the catastrophe started, scientists developed guns made of gold and silver extremely lethal to zombies.

Following that, the value skyrocketed.

Of course, collecting it now would be prohibitively costly, but she would have to do it within the first days of the apocalypse. People were just concerned with gathering food at the moment, so it was ideal for her to plunder.

Emilia still wished to obtain clothing and blankets. The weather was so cold during the winter, allowing many people to freeze to death, so warm coats and covers became a top priority.

Emilia went downstairs to make herself some lunch after jotting down all of her notes.

Purchasing

"Hey Lu Qin, are you all right? You look a bit distracted today," Blake, one of Qin Lu's peers, inquired. Though Qin Lu disliked engaging with other kids his age, Blake is one of the few that he tolerates. It's mostly because Blake was his neighbor and the two of them grow up in the same pair of jeans, courtesy of their mothers, of course. Plus, Blake wasn't as annoying as the other men, so he reluctantly accepted him as a pal.

"No, it's nothing," said Qin Lu.

"Really because you're never this busy, you weren't even paying attention during Maths, which is like your favorite topic or something." "Ya, I'm good, nothing serious, come on, lunch break is almost over, let's get moving."

When Blake realized that his lunchtime was coming to an end without him eating something, he dashed off to the cafeteria to grab some food before it was over.

When Qin Lu was left alone, he returned outside and started to reflect on what had transpired earlier today with his mother. It would be a falsehood to claim that hearing his mother cry did not upset him. It irritated him greatly, but he couldn't do anything about it because he had been caught off balance.

Something was clearly off with her, and he couldn't believe nothing had happened. His mother appreciated her career and would not have missed it for anything.

Yes, he was aware that she was fleeing. As astute as he was, he couldn't help but suspect that she was misleading about it being her off day. He understood her job routine by heart because it had been the same over the past two years, and if it had shifted, his mother would have told him.

'Perhaps she needed to sleep.' I'm hoping that's what there is to it and that nothing drastic occurred. 'It seems that I would have to devote further attention to her from now on to ensure that all is well.'

Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!

The bell rang. Qin Lu then packed his books and left for his next lecture.

................................

Emilia ended her lunch and, realizing that she still had two hours before she had to pick up Qin Lu, opted to head to the mall to see if she could start purchasing any basic materials. Things she could remain in the house until purchasing the new one she intended to convert into a bunker/warehouse.

She changed her clothing and then drove away in her vehicle. Emilia couldn't help but wonder at the outside environment as she drove out of the city. Tall high-rise towers, people are walking down the highway, motorcycles, stores, and restaurants. All that had vanished since the apocalypse had occurred. Emilia felt a shudder travel through her neck as she remembered how she had once been a part of the crowd, living life ignorantly and oblivious of the threat lurking in the darkness. Looking at the busy area, she couldn't imagine that all of this will be gone in a year to become a part of a distant beautiful past.

Emilia gathered herself after a minute and drove into the mall. She went straight up to the third floor after parking her vehicle.

The mall had six levels in all, with all of the clothing stores situated on the third level.

She entered the first floor and started her shopping spree. She was gathering all the winter clothing she could buy, both for herself and for little Qin.

She didn't worry if the clothes were too big; worrying about how she wouldn't be able to afford them even if she decided to in a year, she started purchasing even more.

Emilia realized she had invested more time in the mall than expected by completing her shopping. It was almost time for her to go pick up Qin. She came just to purchase clothing, but she ended up buying luggage, shoes, sheets, makeup, and even cardboards and beds. 1

She clearly couldn't take anything with her, so she just brought the essentials and got the remainder delivered to a warehouse she had employed earlier that day.

She got in her car and drove directly to Goldline Private School after everything was in order.

First supper

Goldline International was one of the country's best colleges. Emilia worked hard to bring Qin Lu into the academy, but she did so because she thought it was worthwhile. As a mother, she wanted the best for her children, and this school was the best.

It had first-rate facilities and highly trained students, and its rating and educational framework were among the finest the nation had to give. This school was ideal for little Qin.

Though Emilia didn't say much about how difficult it was to attend this academy, it wasn't difficult to find out with Qin Lu's intellect. And, knowing how difficult it was for his mother to have him in here, he studied hard at school and gave it his all at all times.

He did not disappoint her, as predicted. Not only was Qin Lu still at the peak of his class, but he had missed two grades and was in a class of children that were two to three years older than him. Emilia's pride grew with each visit to this academy. Emilia realized she had done the best thing by finding him a spot here based on how good he was doing, even having friends.

Emilia pulled into the school and stopped in the waiting room, where other parents joined her.

Even if she was aware of what was to come, Emilia had no intention of removing Qin Lu from college. Emilia was a firm believer in the importance of schooling, regardless of the period or circumstance.

Even though she knew that schools would be closed soon, she claimed that whatever was being learned during this period was also significant, so she did not prevent little Qin from attending school. During the apocalypse, Emilia intended to purchase many books and textbooks to make up for the years of learning that Qin Lu would skip and educate him herself.

And if Emilia couldn't be proud of a lot of stuff, her intellect and school grades were something she will still be reminded of. She also believed that Qin Lu's intellect was inherited from her. And, as a former school bully, she felt she could also teach him, and that with Qin Lu's intellect, he wouldn't have any trouble understanding.

While she was thinking, Emilia saw Qin Lu leaving the schoolhouse.

She got out of the vehicle and grinned at him.

Qin Lu had seen his mother's car well before she had come down to meet him when he exited the schoolhouse. He went for his mother after saying goodbye to Blake and a couple of his friends (though to him, they were all guys who wanted to hang out with him because of Blake).

"Mommy!" Qin Lu was greeted.

"How was school today, baby?"

"It was fine. As is customary." Qin Lu had already given up on convincing his mother to avoid naming him "boy." He realized his attempts had been in vain, so he quit caring.

He noticed the numerous grocery bags in the backseat of the car until he was inside.

"Did you go shopping today, Mom?" Incredulous, he inquired. His mother was not a shopper, but seeing all those bags took her by surprise. "What did you purchase?"

"What do you think?" Emilia then recalled she already had some luggage in the taxi. "Yeah, I thought because I was at home, I should just go ahead and buy clothes now, so I don't have to worry about it when winter arrives. You've seen how crowded stores will be throughout the winter." Emilia responded sheepishly.

" Oh... " Qin Lu's forehead furrowed, as though he didn't believe her. Qin Lu was becoming increasingly persuaded that something was wrong with his mother.

"What ohh... am I not supposed to go shopping?" Emilia exclaimed.

"I don't think I said it; I was just asking," Qin Lu answered calmly.

"Oh, that... umm. You and your sharp tongue." Emilia responded in hushed tones. "So, what do you want for dinner today? You can do anything you want because I'm in a good mood, and I will surely please you." Emilia exclaims cheerfully after defeating a six-year-old through wordplay.

"Can I choose anything?" Qin Lu inquired.

"Of course, choose whatever you want!"
