There were only 2 years left before the apocalypse would start. I had to hurry up and get powers to support ourselves. I had absolute confidence that Ge, Xiao Bing, and I would survive since we were previous power users in our life. I'm just worried that Xiao Lai wouldn't be able to make it through. Giving him a little amount of zombie meat won't work since quantity doesn't matter in a zombie trial.

At dinner, I decided to talk to them about this.

"Ge, Xiao Lai, and Xiao Bing, I've found what I was looking for. I'll tell you the disaster that's going to happen in 2 years," I announced.

They all looked surprised.

"Yu Ge, are you really serious? We've been curious for a long time now!" exclaimed Xiao Lai.

Xiao Bing nodded along and Ge looked at me trying to see through my emotions. He was worried.

"You might not believe me, but an apocalypse is going to happen. If you want proof, I have it." I led them to the garage and took out the bags full of zombies. One by one, I laid out the 5 zombies.

Ge was curious and didn't seem disgusted. Xiao Lai scrunched his nose at the stink and Xiao Bing hid behind him and peeked out, wondering why the corpses looked so decomposed.

"These are zombies." Ge looked at me and I gestured to the corpses. He went to the garage's supply closet and pulled out disposable gloves and inspected the corpses.

By this time, Ge already knew how to do acupuncture very masterfully and was well versed in medicine and symptoms of patients. He frowned as he noticed that these corpses were too strange. They were decomposing but still had so much muscle. Their skin was tauter than even regular people and they had very sharp teeth and nails.

"What happened? I believe that these are zombies, they are too strange to be human," he explained.

"They have strong bodies, too strong for people who've been dead for so long," commented Xiao Bing, poking a zombie with her nail.

"What I remember is that a mad scientist wanted to see the world end before he died, but in the process, ended up as one of his creations, a zombie. And in 2 years, supernatural occurrences will happen and everyone will either turn into a zombie, stay as a regular human, or gain powers. This is my second life, and I've been preparing you guys for the disaster to come," I spouted out the last sentence quickly and waited for their reaction.

"No wonder you knew so much about the future!"

"Oh, that's why."

"Wow, what happened to us in the future?"

...Well. I didn't expect those type of answers. They weren't even shocked. Ah, but this is better than them freaking out I suppose.

"Yu Ge, I even suspected that you were an alien before, this isn't as surprising or interesting as that," Xiao Lai told me. This brat...

"Ok, Xiao Yu, what must we do?" Ge asked.

A zombie trial would take about an hour of intense pain. I had to get the cheetah and wolf first so I made plans to go to the zoo during the night

Xiao Lai and Xiao Bing made plans to unlock the zoo electric cages and lead a commotion and to try to capture the animals we needed at that time. It was a really foolish plan, but at least it would work.

So we got to work, Xiao Lai hacked into the system of the Capital's zoo in about an hour. There were lots of exotic and near-extinct animals, so it was heavily protected. He timed the gates to open at midnight and proceeded to go further into gaining information about the wolves and cheetahs. He printed out maps for us and all of them besides me memorized it. Even if I memorized it, I would get lost... In the end, I was supposed to follow Ge and find the animals with him instead.

The zoo parking lot was empty as we trailed into it. Xiao Lai cut off the surveillance cameras and we weren't seen at all with our speed and dark clothing. After waiting at the entrance for a few minutes, the gates opened up as Xiao Lai timed them to. We heard squawks, roars, and growls as the electric cages were lifted from the animals. We could have just lifted the cages of the animals we were looking for, but my younger siblings said they wanted to have some fun. But this was a little risky you know?

Ge first led me to the wolves. They were like dogs, except bigger and calmer. Their eyes were clear and lucid as they stared at us. There were only 4 wolves, one really old looking wolf, two adult-sized wolves, and one chubby tiny wolf cub.

They stared at us and we stared back. I don't know why, but the wolf cub began barking and ran towards Ge. Ge carefully picked the small creature up and gazed back at the wolves. The adult wolves glared at us but the older wolf howled solemnly and held them back. He was the leader.

The three wolves didn't try to escape and stayed still in their spots. We ran to the cheetah cage where only one cheetah lived in. The cheetah was very vigilante and swished its tail cautiously. Why hadn't it run away? It actually had, there were several prey corpses freshly killed on the ground near the tree that the cheetah rested in. It yowled, a really creepy sound, and rushed towards me as if marking me as its prey.

Of course, it didn't get a chance to touch me as I had already got out a tranquilizer gun and aimed it at the feline.

As I shot, Ge yelled, "Wait!" but the dart was already in its path.

I shot another quickly with just using the trajectory of my hand and they both collided and fell. Why was Ge yelling at me to wait? Oh, probably worried that I'll use too much force and strike an artery or break a bone.

The cheetah yowled again and ran away. I chased after it and knocked it out. We got to the parking lot carrying the animals and saw Xiao Lai waiting for us.

"Where's Xiao Bing?" I asked.

"She's gone looking for cute animals to bring back. She wants to bring back a ferret but there're only white weasels so she went to go get them... And she also came back with rabbits, an arctic fox, and some poisonous snakes too. They're all in the trunk."

We sighed and waited for Xiao Bing to come back with the pets she wanted to keep. After that, we had more animals to pack up in the trunk and separated them through bags and cages. I warned her that she could only keep them for 3 days at most, but she still wanted to take them with her.

We returned home, organized the animals in the pet cottage, and slept, deciding to go through the zombie trial the next day.
