Before Lu Sheng could thoroughly check the security measures, a thunderclap boomed. Large raindrops poured down, pounding against the windowpanes with a loud crackling sound.

Lu Sheng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly took out his phone.

February 19th, sunny.

In the previous life, the apocalypse began with a torrential rain.

The torrential rain lasted for a full day and night. When the rain stopped, the entire city was flooded, all public transportation was forced to stop, and private cars would stall after driving less than five meters.

The entire society came to a standstill. Those who had stored food at home could last a few more days, while those who had no food could only wait for the floodwaters to drain before going out to buy supplies.

However, after the flooding, they faced temperatures as high as 50 degrees Celsius, and the apocalypse officially began.

The apocalypse has indeed come early!

Lu Sheng immediately grabbed her umbrella and rushed out the door. She was determined to spend all the remaining money today!

The rain came too suddenly, and Lu Sheng was in the top 100 in the queue on the ride-hailing app, not knowing when it would be his turn.

But time waits for no one, so Lu Sheng gritted her teeth and decided to ride a shared bicycle to the nearest shopping district.

[Beep - Vehicle detected. Vehicle system unlocked]

Just as Lu Sheng scanned the code to prepare to ride the bike, the system came online again.

"If you have any conscience, give me a four-wheeled pink Raptor."

Seeing the gift box icon pop up from the system, Lu Sheng rubbed her hands together expectantly and tapped it gently.

After a dazzling transition effect, everything went black before Lu Sheng's eyes.

Good news: It does indeed have four wheels, and it is indeed pink.

Bad news: Although it's a bird, it doesn't seem very fierce.

Lu Sheng never imagined that she would achieve "rocking horse freedom" at the ripe old age of 20...

"What's Daddy's dad called? Daddy's dad is called Grandpa..."

The coin-operated four-wheeled Pleasant Goat rocking car, an essential tool for attracting customers to the neighborhood supermarket, twisted seductively in Lu Sheng's space to the accompaniment of rough electronic sounds, with Pleasant Goat's two eyes even flashing dazzling colored lights.

The system thoughtfully included product instructions.

Waterproof, fireproof, and with super-powerful motor, it's the perfect choice for home and travel.

Between the two options, "I'm the craziest on the green grassland" and "Riding the waves" (a shared ride), Lu Sheng decisively chose the latter.

She numbly closed the system page, cursing a hundred times in her mind.

She really shouldn't have had too much hope for this system...

Fortunately, although the rain was heavy, it was still possible to travel. Lu Sheng rode at full speed and arrived at the commercial area in ten minutes.

Many pedestrians and delivery drivers were trapped by the heavy rain, taking shelter in twos and threes on the first floor of the mall. Lu Sheng glanced at the passersby with their various expressions and sighed softly.

People trapped in food courts and supermarkets are considered lucky; they can at least grab something to eat when needed. But many white-collar workers trapped in office buildings starve to death within a few days.

However, Lu Sheng is currently facing a small problem. It's too late to have the mall deliver the goods, so she has to store them in her spatial storage while she's shopping.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Lu Sheng grabbed a yellow vest from a Meituan mini scooter parked on the street and threw a hundred yuan into the delivery box.

No one would be surprised how much the saleswoman was carrying, as long as she made reasonable purchases from different stores, it wouldn't attract too much attention.

After making up his mind, Lu Sheng first went to an outdoor equipment store and bought three kayaks, life jackets, down jackets, alcohol lamps, water purification tablets, and other outdoor survival items under the guise of running errands.

I went to the pharmacy street and bought antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, fever-reducing patches, and other medicines from different stores. I also stocked up on emergency medical equipment and a lot of insecticides.

Each time he left a store, Lu Sheng would quickly store the items into his spatial storage and then rush to the next store.

After purchasing medicine and outdoor tools, Lu Sheng only had 100,000 yuan left in his account.

As the rain intensified, Lu Sheng seized the opportunity to buy large quantities of instant noodles and fast food at several large supermarkets.

When I left the last supermarket, I only had 80 cents left in my card.

Although he had spent all his money, Lu Sheng felt at ease.

Lu Sheng took off his Meituan vest and was about to figure out how to get back to Sun Tiantian's house when the rain curtain above his head was suddenly blocked by a large black umbrella.

Her gaze followed the black umbrella upwards. He wore a gray shirt and well-fitting trousers, revealing a strong physique. His face was refined and elegant, adorned with a pair of gold-rimmed half-rimmed glasses.

"Teacher Xu?" Lu Sheng was a little surprised. It turned out to be Xu Yi, the new teacher at the school hospital.

Xu Yi tilted the umbrella towards Lu Sheng and pressed the car key. "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride. The rain is too heavy."

"Thank you, Teacher Xu. I'm going back to Dingxianglou now."

Lu Sheng didn't stand on ceremony with Xu Yi. It would be dark soon, and every minute they stayed outside increased the risk.

What's more, she had no money in her account and couldn't even ride a shared bike.

Coincidentally, Xu Yi also moved to Dingxiang Building, to a large apartment on the fourth floor corner. Lu Sheng hitched a ride all the way to the dormitory building.

"The school hospital will have work-study opportunities next semester; you can apply if you need them."

As he was about to exit the stairwell, Xu Yi glanced back at Lu Sheng, his gaze landing on her right hand.

Lu Sheng belatedly realized that the Meituan vest was still clutched in his right hand.

"Thank you, Teacher Xu."

After Xu Yi closed the door, Lu Sheng quietly took out a box of instant noodles from her spatial storage and placed it at Xu Yi's door.

In her previous life, Lu Sheng and Sun Tiantian encountered Xu Yi during their escape, and Xu Yi gave them a packet of expired instant noodles. Now, she's returning the favor with a case of instant noodles, and that settles things once and for all.

When Lu Sheng entered, Sun Tiantian was already waiting at the door.

"I called you dozens of times and you didn't answer! I was so scared!" Sun Tiantian said, her voice trembling with tears, as she hugged Lu Sheng tightly. "It's raining so hard outside, what if something happened to you!"
