Back to the ApocalypseCh133 - extra III

translator: xiin
editors: apricot & juurensha

My name is Yang Jin, nickname, ‘Family Treasure’. I am the most beloved baby of my entire family. bdGhYw

Although I haven’t had parents since I was a child (I heard that they died in a car accident), I have my grandpa and grandma from my father’s side, and my grandpa and grandma from my mother’s side, and my very amazing older cousin.

I have always been very smart since childhood. I was always first when it came to academic achievements and was envied by all the students. I had a good background, an excellent mind, I loved to be clean, and was very good looking. If nothing unexpected had happened, my life would have been smooth and wonderful, and I would’ve started my life journey from a very high point with my family’s protection.

However, the unexpected can always happen. I never thought that this world would encounter an apocalypse. It came so abruptly, and everyone was caught off guard.

In fact, I think that perhaps I was lucky, because when the apocalypse happened, I lost consciousness, sensation, and all the thoughts that made me human. v6VQbq

In my confusion, I became a zombie. I don’t know if I ate people. By the time I recovered my awareness, I was already a level three zombie. Although my mind was still ignorant, I had the ability to think and knew that I was in a safe place. I knew that there was an extremely powerful zombie close to me, and I knew that there was a kind of rock that I liked to be around. Being close to it made me feel very comfortable, and even my thoughts seemed to become a lot more flexible.

I took over an entire floor as my rest area. I really was a little tyrant.

Why would I think that?

What’s a ‘little tyrant’?

pubYAy

I’m confused.

But anyway, I’m still living a carefree life.

Living, what is that?

The longer I’ve been a zombie, the more I feel that I like to think about all sorts of questions. Why are there these kinds of questions? I thought and pondered and couldn’t understand, but I felt more and more empty and lonely. I felt as though I had lost my most important thing, but I didn’t know what exactly I’d lost. W0nTL7

I really want to see the outside world. I want to fly out from this cage.

I hate that terribly powerful zombie nearby. Although I’m very close with him, why does he have to manage me like that? He won’t let me do this, won’t let me do that. I feel that I dislike him more and more. Every time I want to go out, that fellow would attack me with his psychic strength, making it so that I can’t move.

I am very upset about it, but I have to obediently stay here. In my muddled, ignorant state, I have a sense that he is doing this for my own good.

I cleaned up my rest area and looked at the spotless floors, feeling an inexplicable sense of satisfaction inside. I felt that I was becoming more and more like a person.

But why do I feel like I’m a person?

Actually, I don’t like people at all. Those insects are disgusting, weak, and cunning.

Recently, more and more insects have snuck into our territory. We clearly didn’t provoke them, but when they see us, those small and weak insects are always shouting and killing, greedy for things that do not belong to them. I secretly feel that we shouldn’t kill people, but after killing, I don’t feel any discomfort at all. On the contrary, seeing that bright red blood makes a kind of excitement rise up in my body. I feel very thirsty and really want to drink… 3pwlvd

A kind of inexplicable feeling made me suppress my impulse. It was as though I would really lose something if I drank that blood. I had always believed in my intuition, and since there was nothing that could be eaten, I simply killed them all to make up for it.

Gradually, fewer and fewer insects came, and there was less and less fun. Perhaps this was why my thoughts became more and more flexible. The more I thought, the more lonely I felt.

Until one day…

Two clever insects came to our territory. C35qf8

They snuck into the territory, snuck into the basement, stole our things, and seeing that they thought they had successfully hidden their moves from our eyes, I found them amusing and quietly paid attention to them.

Soon, they came to the fourth floor, which was my area. It had been thoroughly cleaned, and the ground was bright and shiny. The snow-white walls were uniform, and I felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction when I saw their looks of surprise. However, I soon grew angry and felt that my chest was full of rage. I regretted paying attention to them. They were just two small insects, how dare they…

They splashed ink over my rest area and dared to dirty up my place. I had to kill them! As soon as the idea surfaced, I flew out quickly and sent out sharp ice blades along with my attack. This was my best move, and I had killed many insects with these ice blades of mine.

However, I hadn’t expected that I had miscalculated. I reluctantly had to admit that these were two very powerful insects, and they quickly dodged my attack. One of the men’s energy made me feel scared, and my heart was full of agitation. gVOJMa

And right then…

“We mean no harm.” One of the men spoke.

Hearing his calm words, I fell into a daze. Were they talking to me? My movements stiffened, and my body, which had clearly become more flexible, seemed to be fixed in place. I couldn’t seem to move, or perhaps it was that I didn’t want to move.

I didn’t know how I felt at that moment. It was the first time that I realized what hesitation meant, but even more than that, there was joy and pleasure. So while I had been hating human beings, could it be that I just wanted so badly to be recognized by them? SpUPQe

The thoughts in my head began to empty out, and my brain was full of emotions. Even I had no idea where these emotions had come from, but without a doubt, my heart was happy.

“Hey, can’t you give us some response?” The other man grew impatient.

I hurriedly gathered my thoughts and covered my face. I felt a little shy. I was in a daze. I wanted to talk to them.

“Awuuu––“ 3FL1Wq

“I don’t understand.” The man froze for a second, then spoke helplessly.

“Awuuu! Wuuu! Wuuuu!” I felt a little depressed. Why couldn’t I communicate with them?

“We’re leaving.”

I was anxious as I watched him pull the other person with him and leave. 8bNDPj

But then, I heard him speak again, “Hey, isn’t your nose really good? In a while, some people will be launching an attack. Remember not to harm our people! If you want to eat someone, then eat those guys on the third floor of the basement. Right, remember to tell your fellow zombies too. There’s a reward!”

I felt really happy. I felt that I understood his meaning. In fact, I didn’t care about the so-called reward, but I really liked the tone of his voice. It was very casual, very natural, as though I was just like them, and was a human being just like they were.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

I decided that I would help him fulfil his request.

So, I quickly went to find the leader. Although I didn’t know why I would call him ‘leader’, I had a strong feeling based on the leader’s indulgence towards me that he would certainly agree to my request. j 1CsQ

Those two humans didn’t leave me disappointed. Not long after, they came to this place.

Only…

The atmosphere didn’t seem to be very good!

Why did they call the leader Yang Yan? KvweTz

This name was so familiar, and it caused an inexplicable sense of kindness to spontaneously rise up!

I felt like my head was going to become mush soon. What was going on?

Seeing that they were going to fight, I was really anxious and couldn’t help but call out.

I felt angry! One side was the leader, and the other side were friends that I had just acknowledged. I didn’t want to see them clash. WAyHs4

“Awuuuu! Awuuu!”

The two humans finally recognized me and gave me a bottle of liquid. I felt some disdain and joy at the same time – this was the first time I’d ever received a gift, and I was very excited as I used my sharp nails to cut off the lid.

A rich, dense energy instantaneously spread through the air, only…

Hey, leader, how could you take away my things? 1EMtI

I was angry, I was enraged! But I only dared to be angry and didn’t dare to speak out. Only, I hadn’t expected that the leader would drink all the liquid in the bottle and then speak out to suggest an exchange.

I was happy again.

When they left, I was really reluctant to say goodbye.

A dozen days later, I made a big decision. I wanted to run way and leave home! I wanted to find my friends. (I would never admit that I left because of the liquid that could boost my energy.) dmIbhJ


xiin: this is it, guys. the end of BTTA :blobfearful: it’s pretty abrupt, i know. others have mentioned before that something came up in the author’s personal life and they had to cut it short – i haven’t found the original post (so i could be wrong?). in any case, BTTA was one of the first apocalypse novels i ever read, and it has a special place in my heart despite the rushed ending. i hope you guys enjoyed it too!
juurensha: Glad to be done! Wish more was done with zombie city! Rule the city well Queen Bai and treat him well, Xiao Sa!
apricot: Excited to be able to see this to the end. Good luck to humanity’s future!

xiin: i’ll be focusing on two other BL projects for now: the warm and fluffy Stone Age Husband Raising Journal, and Vanguard of the Eternal Night, which is action packed bad-assness~ see you guys there!

  1. nods young tyrants must stick together.

    Ah, maybe one day the author will come back? It happens~~~

    I’m definitely going to read this again and I’m super grateful that this is complete now. My heart is nostalgic because I’ve been with this for so long.

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK !!!!!

  2. Ughhh I can’t believe it ended! I’ll miss this novel!
    Hope everything ended well to the author…
    In my head Jing Sa keep growing till it became on par with the capital and they made some sort of alliance. The zombie city kept evolving too and eventually the Leader went to fetch the two runaways who by that time were evolved enough too. In the end BJ with his own R&D team analyzed his space and spring and managed to make the earth livable again. And zombies and humans ended up coexisting in peace.
    XD
    Thanks for the hard work! I’m on a QT phase but will soon check those novels too…
    CG is the best place to read bl novels ❤️
  3. Thank you for this enjoyable journey and for your work. Hoping for a detailed ending, but that’s it. Anyway, I loved every chapter of this novel.

  4. Thank you for the great (complete) ride. Congrats 🎉 I hope someday there will be more, a sequel maybe. I still wonder about future generations though. Maybe they’ll all turn into thinking zombies 🧟‍♂️?
    Gotta love the cute little zombie in the extra though. Seems like he’s turning back into a human. 🙃
    Thanks again to the author and translators. 🙇🏻‍♀️

  5. Thank you for translating this series for us! It was a very fun journey ❤️❤️❤️

    • Thank you so much for translating this! It was a wonderful journey. Even though I just started reading this a few days ago, it was a great story and a really good read.
      The ending was cut short but atleast we can imagine ourselves what we want to happen and such.
      Thank you so much for the hardwork!
      Congratulations on finishing another novel ~❤❤❤

  6. Thank you for the journey, its abrupt indeed but what can we do if something happen to author. Maybe one day they decide to write more lol we can dream. At least we know our King and Queen will certainly improve Jing Sa city, more than capital. Maybe they will really partner up with zombie armies. Maybe someday they succed in making antibiotic for zombie. Maybe oneday the earth will be back like its used to be ? Maybe one day aliens come and become their new foe. Lol. Thank you for all your efforts Xiin .

  7. So the issue of the meteorites are never explained, the reason for the deviations from Bai Jing’s original experiences, the face off with his stepmother, the background of the secret labs Bai Jing died in….. was hoping the extras would have covered that. >< All that build up came to nothing.

    Thanks for the hard work and amazing translation!

    • well, they destroyed the Zhou family (his stepmother’s family) by annihilating the branch of the Zhou family that went to the military factory and their successors… they then schemed so that the Zhou family was completely overthrown… could be considered an ending for them. BJ blew up the secret labs he had been experimented on in his past life (which the Zhou family had a part in)… so the only really unexplained one was the meteorites. it seems like there were more meteorites dropped this time and one of the meteorites helped the zombies evolve to be smarter/more powerful, while the other helped BJ with his space. but how/why is left unsaid~
  8. It’s been a long journey but it’s finally done, I really enjoyed reading!

    Long live Queen Bai and his ever doting husband Xiao Sa~

    Thank you Xiin and the amazing team and translating this novel! 💕

  9. Thanks for the chapter! Darn, I really wanted to see what happened to the crew, especially the zombie additions… thank you for the fun ride!

  10. Thank you so much for translating this novel 🙂

  11. Cute little zombie heh.

    Thanks for the great translation and congratulations on another completed project xiin 😘♥️♥️

  12. Thank you very much for translating this novel to the end! I’m very happy. Even though the ending is too rushed but at least this novel ended properly and not on Hiatus! Thank you for your hard work everyone!! 🎉🎊🎊🎂🎂🎂🎊🎊🎉👍👍👍

  13. Author please come back 🙇🏽‍♀️🤷🙎I understand is rush end but please some remark with the future zombies and what happen to the humans .
    Thank the translation was great pick !! The end I understand but 😔but I hope more 😋🤗 well if you talk with the author say never is late to comeback . I really hope they addopt a kid in the future to talk about future of the that world , well that is my dream.

  14. WAIT WHAT!? DATS IT!? NONONONO!! DIS MUST BE A LIE! IT MUST BE APRIL FOOL’S DAY RIGHT!? RIGHT!? I DEMAND AN ANSWER!! AND I WON’T TAKE ‘NO’ AS AN ANSWER!!

  15. Thank you for sharing this novel with us!
    💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

  16. I felt like the novel just barely started…forever sad

  17. HUAAAAAAA
    I feel like crying :’)
    THANK YOU FOR TRANSLATING THISSSSS💕💞💕💞💕💞💞

  18. Rushed ending for sure…idk if u call ending not really any conclusion it just seem like end to arc compare to other novels…….but it all well written so it was enjoyable.Really sad author couldnt kept writting lol imagine if this like MGA or some of other with 2-3k + chapters 😀 I think reason author stop has do more with culture respect to genre this is.Super did enjoy reading though , actually abilities and how powers ,feel romance part even being gay was done in way if u oppose that you should still read novel and enjoy it

  19. So the little level 6 zombie was the younger cousin of the military leader zombie 😂
    I wondered abt the identity of the courting zombie tho.
    Been following this story for a long time and glad it finally ended (although it’s not a satisfying end but still an end)
    Thank you to all the translators for your dedicated work

    • I was hoping the courting zoombie be Li Ran’s brother but not possible since they all saw him in the mission. Xue Feng though said the zoombie looked familiar hahaha anyway Queen Bai has a clingy son now 😂😂 would love to see how the world pans out after all the struggle and more of their domestic life in the base! This was a great read tho and long live the City Lord and his pampered Madam 😂

  20. I hope you know XIIN that you have converted me to buying the novels from jjwxc, even though I can’t read mandarin script. From the constant updates and consistent work ethic on these bl novels – it truly has touched my little fujoshi and editor heart.

    You guys are the best and I love y’all, especially you XIIN. Thank you for all the joy you’ve given us fans with all the lovely quality translation work you’ve done with your amazing team. ///>_<\\

    • that’s great! i can’t tell you how much that makes my day~ the authors deserve all the support they can get!!!

  21. Yo, team CG. I know this is a farfetched dream speaking this request out here as I know every CG translator is busy with their stories, but I simply had to try.
     
    ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Quick question, I have two novels I really like. Would y’all ever consider picking up: Daily life of a wealthy woof? The Husky and His White Cat shizun?

    Ciao until next time 🙂

    PS. Not trying to add to the work load, team! Aiya! hand over face But y’all always give out quality tl’s and are my favorite team to read novels from. Thus, I’m simply asking. So, no worries if no can do, comrades! 🙂

    • we don’t pick up novels that are still being regularly updated (like Daily life of a wealthy woof). Husky is a special case – it’s actually being translated by other translators that have chosen not to list their chapters on novelupdates. If you’re on our discord server, i’m sure someone will be happy to point you to the link.

      in short, we most likely won’t be picking up those novels in the near future.

      • Oh, sweet! So, DLOWW is still being updated then? Yayy!! >.<

        Are the translated chapters for THAWCS just as good quality like CG translations? If not, I don’t want the link, but if so, may I have the link, please?

        My job is being an editor in RL, and I don’t want to be stuck nitpicking throughout a story. When I was younger I could put up with it, but as you grow older: meh. ^^

        Thanks for the reply back. Ciao xx

        • ah, i don’t read it, so i’m not sure? it should be pretty readable, though.

  22. Loved it!! Thanks for your hard work 🙂

  23. Thank you for translating this novel. It has been an enjoyable journey. I just wish it was longer. I wanted to read more on the little zombie at the end. Seems like his story would been very interesting. Anyway your hard work is greatly appreciated. I will definitively follow your other translation.

  24. Yes~ Hope more will be done to give a satisfying face-slap to the bitch Zhou mother and bitch daughter. Other than that, my only regret is that it ended.

    Thanks for the chapter~

  25. OwO Yang Jin, you cute little cinnamon roll!

  26. Thank you for your hard work. Despite the abrupt ending I enjoyed it.

  27. Thanks a ton for translating this novel! It was such a fun read! I try my best to wait for a novel to finish, so that I don’t get stuck with the cliffs 😅 so I read this whole thing in the last 2-3 days, and I loved it! Yes the ending was really quite rushed, and I had especially hoped to read when Xiao Da found out about their last life, and just more of their adventures!

    Yet, really satisfied with this novel and thanks again for such a great translation! Look forward to your next two projects ☺️

  28. 🧟‍♀️ Enjoy it, thanks for translating this novel. If possible I would recommend that you translate Counterattack off a white Lotus that Was rebon into an Apocalyps e The novels are similar I hope you consider it

  29. Thank you very much for the translation.

    It’s been a while and I had to re read the whole novel but it was great.

  30. Ive been foklowing the novel from the 1st translator and finally reached the end. Its sad that it ended just like this. Thanks for the hard work

  31. hay un final, demasiado imprevisto, hubo muchas banderas de trama pendientes, espero que la novela continúe en una segunda parte, todavía me falta más romance entre los protagonistas, se mantuvieron demasiado ocupados … esto es todo. gracias por la traducción, mi verdadera crítica es que extraño más capítulos de la novela, la historia realmente me encantó🤗

    • This was the first bl apocalyptic novel that burrowed into my heart and made its base there. I am eternally grateful for all your hardwork and sharing the authors work to people such as I who are unable to read the original :’).

      Although the ending did feel a bit rushed, nevertheless, the whole journey was amazing. Getting to know of Queen Jing and his hubby Xiao Sa’s story will forever make me the happiest fujoshi alive ✨✨I guess the only grievance I have was that the scene i was hoping to see wasnt portrayed :’) ; where Bai Jing tells Xiao Sa his previous life and what Xiao Sa’s reaction would be like hekhek. But anyways thank you so much!!! Much love and much gratitude!! ❤️❤️

  32. Aww i cant believe its already over. It feels like ive only started reading it the other day. I rly enjoyed it. Had fun reading. Love the last extra and wish there was more. Thanks for the translation

  33. Omg this last extra is so cute~ YJ being protected by his ‘leader’ older cousin, running away to follow his new friends, coincidentally doing the same with the zombie courting one of BJ’s teammates…

    I imagine that JS Base upgrades and becomes a base on par if not better than B City Base. BJ shares the secret of his hidden space and has someone doing the farmwork for him while he just lazes around collecting jade, lvling up his friend zombie to pass as human, meditating, and doing the papapa with XS… its either he returns to the military base or ‘leader’ comes to find his wayward cousin, BJ manages to help them upgrade and the military zombie base turns more stable. Maybe they find another red meteor and finds out its difference to the black ones that created zombies… they may not return the world to what it was before, but they’re living…

    Whoo~ after almost 2 days I finally finish this~ been on a completed translation binge this week and spending almost no sleep to read this was so worth it~

    Thank you so much for the translation~ reading this has been a wonderful journey, I wasn’t bored at all

  34. I’m gonna reread this again! I dunno where i left off last time then went back to finish all the chapters in one fell swoop. Ah… why did i miss out? In the end, i really loved this. One of the best novels, and apocalypse at that, for me

    ❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for translating this wonderful novel!

  35. Yang jin? should be the niece 😀 … anyway, loved it, thankyuuuu for the translation and recommendations of other apocalypse novels ♥

  36. its bittersweet! I throughly enjoyed this book. thanks for translating and thanks to the author for sharing their brain with us. honestly the ending is the best ending allowing us to determine our own end but can also be continued by them.

  37. Goodness I just can’t with him! Yang Jin’s so cuttee! WHY!!? and damn I feel sad seeing that this novel end… I want mworreee!!!! I need more of Queen Bai Jing’s sassiness!!~ (>v<)/

    Thank you so much for the translations!!!~ Love it~

  38. That’s the cutest bonus chapter ever.

    I also feel regret that we didn’t get more details of Jing Sa City, but the POV of a zombie was an unexpected delight.

    Thank you ❤

  39. That’s the cutest thing ever I love this extra. It’s a shame it had to end earlier because of unforeseen things. I wanted little Ling to reveal that he had died and cam back to life. However, this story was great and thanks for the translation and hard work.❤️

  40. Well even though it ended abruptly at least we know how the base would later develope due to the tidbits and xiao bai was able to complete his revenge and finally get to live a peaceful (?) life with his lover

  41. Thanks for your hard work, I really enjoyed this novel! Sad that it was so abrupt, but thankful for what we got.

  42. Although I know that I am late for this but thanks for the hard work😊

    It a roller coaster ride but have a beautiful ending…

  43. So the little level 6 zombie was from the Yang family!? And Yang Yan is his cousin!? Omg, even though I reread this novel many times, I only found out about this now…… 🤭

    I really love this novel even though I’m not satisfied with the ending. I wanted Bai Jing to tell Xiao Sa about his rebirth even if he was afraid that Xiao Sa would dislike him for it.

    Thank you for translating this novel! 💜

  44. Thank you for the translation 💕

    I really liked this story it was very easy-going and nice read, I gonna miss our madam Bai and his husband as well the secondary couples, and also feel that the end was somewhat rushed bit at least I feel grateful that in some way it ended up well with them back in their base.

  45. No wonder it is ending so abruptly. Like, we can see the author had planned much more with the meteorite, zombie that become much more humanized, settling Zhou family (so rushed) and the initial of lording the land as king and queen. Too bad they had to cut it short so soon. It had so mang potential.

    Thanks for translating though. Awesome work 👍.

  46. Yang Jin!!! One of the Cutest Zombie I have ever know!

    Ohh this Novel is Absolutely Paradise!!! The Best Apocalypse Novel that doesn’t makes me worry too much!!! The most Comfortable Apocalypse Novel Ever!!!

    I Love it Soooo Much!!!

    Thank you for the hardworks!!! 🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇

  47. thank you so much author-san and translation team!!

    i really hope there’s more. but im still satisfied with the ending.. (-ㅂ-)/ ♥ ♥ ♥

  48. I seriously think that BJ space has a purpose, like the meteorite inside his space or even that lotus thingy. Alas this humble reader can only speculate, 😭😭😭😭. I didn’t sleep for this.

    Thank you Xiin for the translation ❤️❤️❤️❤️

  49. This was a cool novel to read an thank you for giving us the opportunity to enjoy their journey can’t wait to find the next fun novel you post

  50. Though there’s still a lot of questions unanswered, I still really like this open ending. Thank you for the translation!

  51. I feel reluctant to part with this novel so soon, but I enjoyed bai jing and xiao sa’s journey towards being city leaders!!

  52. Yang Jin xx Little Tyrant ahhhhhh this last extra chap is sooo cute huehue im basically craving for more!

    Anyway, thank you for your great translations even though this novel was translated 3 years ago and i finally caught up!

    To tell the truth I was reading various novel here in CG and I always saw and ignore this novel but who knows that this novel was really great and so are the translations sooo hugs thank youuu lovelots💙

  53. Well, although it was such an unexpected ending but all in all thanks for your hard work 💐 .

    So the little guy Ran away bcuz of spring water sooooo damn cute~~~✨😂

  54. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOU HARD WORK!! I love this novel. Regardless of the rushed ending, out of all the apocalypse theme novels that I have read, this is one of the best and very interesting. Its just sad that there are a lot of details and plots are left unsaid but I understand and it’s okay.

  55. It been a long time, but thanks for sharing this with us translator-sama and editors-sama…. Is the 3rd or 4 translation that I read from Xiin … Thanks for your wonderful job ❤️
