Lu Sheng never liked gambling. In her previous life, she lived a cautious life and only earned money honestly.

Using her limited points for a lottery without knowing how to earn them is not in Lu Sheng's style.

Having gone through a life-or-death experience, Lu Sheng's mindset had changed somewhat. She squeezed Zhuangzhuang's little paws, signaling Zhuangzhuang to make a decision.

She knew Zhuangzhuang saw her stockpiling goods every day, so she simply told him the secret. On one hand, Lu Sheng knew Zhuangzhuang wouldn't betray her, and on the other hand, she wasn't afraid that Zhuangzhuang would tell others.

Who would believe a kitten?

"Want to smoke or not?" Lu Sheng rubbed his muscular chin.

Zhuangzhuang stretched lazily, its fluffy tail brushing against Lu Sheng's face. "Take a gamble, and a bicycle can become a motorcycle. Take a bet, and a motorcycle can become a Land Rover."

Lu Sheng pursed her lips and said, "Fine, I'll have a turn!"

If she wins, she'll be a young model at a club; if she loses, she'll have to work in the sex industry. Anyway, she's already died once, so how could things get any worse?

Lu Sheng pressed the lottery button, and his points immediately dropped to 0.

make persistent efforts.

The four huge characters filled the entire system interface.

Lu Sheng: "..."

Was this system designed by a planner who jumped ship from a domestic mobile game studio? Are they blatantly trying to cheat people out of points?

"Zhuangzhuang." Lu Sheng paused for a second, "You misjudged the situation. Your cat food allowance for this month is canceled."

"Meow meow meow!"

Zhuangzhuang used very foul language.

After turning off the lottery system, Lu Sheng began to examine the gifts in the newbie gift pack. The system gave him a piece of chocolate the size of a mahjong tile, with the words "Beginner Campfire" neatly engraved on one side.

Lu Sheng ate it with some skepticism, and soon felt a warm sensation on the tip of his right middle finger.

She snapped her fingers as if possessed, and a tiny flame leaped from the tip of her middle finger.

"What's the difference between this and a 50-cent lighter?"

Although he was a little disappointed with the newbie gift pack given by the system, Lu Sheng quickly adjusted his mindset.

After the apocalypse, many formerly docile and harmless animals will mutate into ferocious beasts that devour people and bones.

Lu Sheng had seen mutated rats that were a meter long and mutated insects the size of cats and dogs.

Aside from killing these mutated monsters with force, fire is the only thing that can make them even slightly afraid.

In times of resource scarcity, equipment capable of starting a fire could be exchanged for thousands of kilograms of rice on the black market. Lu Sheng considered it as if he had gotten two cartloads of rice for free.

...

Seven days before the apocalypse arrived in the blink of an eye, and Lu Sheng only had 400,000 yuan left in his card.

The first thing Lu Sheng did after getting up was to call Sun Tiantian.

"Big sister, do you know it's 7 o'clock now?" Sun Tiantian's hoarse voice came through the receiver as she woke up.

Hearing Sun Tiantian's familiar voice again, Lu Sheng felt a lump in his throat and it took him a while to compose himself. "Tiantian, don't leave the dormitory. I'm going back to school now."

Sun Tiantian was fast asleep and didn't notice Lu Sheng's unusual behavior at all. She responded with a couple of "uh-huhs" and then hurriedly hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Sheng put all the household appliances he could take with him, as well as the remaining supplies and tools, into his spatial storage.

She wants to move back to her dormitory, partly because her hoarding of goods in the past two days has attracted the attention of many people in the community.

Although she rented a warehouse specifically to cover her tracks, there are just too many idle retired aunties in the neighborhood, and now quite a few modified versions have been circulating.

The most important reason is that Lu Sheng's old house is on the top floor.

The rooftop waterproofing of this 20-year-old house is riddled with holes. Whenever it rains heavily outside, it drizzles inside. In the summer, when the sun is strong, the house is like a sauna, making it extremely hot in summer and cold in winter.

The Lilac Building where Lu Sheng and Sun Tiantian lived was originally a fully furnished apartment prepared by Peking University for international students, and its quality was top-notch.

Lu Sheng and his classmates got a good deal because of the temporary expansion of enrollment that year.

The building houses single or double rooms, and each dormitory has a private living room, bathroom, and kitchen. Air conditioning and shower facilities are also provided, making it one of the best conditions at Peking University.

The population density in Beijing is too high; you can find eight or ten white-collar workers even in an inconspicuous old, dilapidated basement.

If a mutation really occurs, any old neighborhood will be besieged by zombies. Plus, the office workers, battered and bruised by life, are all incredibly resilient, making the situation a bit troublesome.

However, since it's not yet the start of the school year, not many people have returned to school early, making it a sparsely populated area.

Using dogs as a unit of measurement for combat power, college students who have been marinated in games and junk food are roughly equivalent to 0.5 dogs, making them a veritable battleground of combat power that Lu Sheng could handle alone.

After finishing dealing with everything at home, Lu Sheng took out the shopping list and looked at it again.

She had stocked up on most of the basic food items, but if she wanted to live more comfortably in the apocalypse, she still needed to prepare some other necessities.

Lu Sheng contacted several local manufacturers on 1688 and ordered enough household paper for thirty years.

In the apocalypse, such fast-moving consumer goods are simply unavailable, and she doesn't want to experience the unpleasant sensation of having her butt pulled with a knife again using tree bark.

Immediately afterwards, I ordered several hundred boxes of liquid sanitary napkins from JD.com and managed to reserve the warehouse address. They were on sale, even cheaper than buying them at the supermarket.

In prosperous times, women are like gold; in chaotic times, women are worth only a bushel of rice.

Women in the apocalypse are less than dogs.

When survival is uncertain, no one cares which woman is menstruating.

In a world where the law of the jungle has collapsed, women without superpowers are the lowest of the low in the apocalypse.

The women who survived in the base even had to have their uteruses removed in order to get a place.

After buying the sanitary napkins, Lu Sheng only had 300,000 yuan left in his account.
