In 2190 AD, acid rain poured down.

This is the third year since the natural disaster began, which humans jokingly call the three-year natural disaster calendar.

Basement of No. 319, Villa District, Beijing.

A strong stench of decay hung in the air. On the simple wooden bed, Qiao He, thin and pale as paper, struggled to open her lifeless almond-shaped eyes.

A delicate voice came from outside the door: "Dad, my sister is dying... After she injured her leg, it has started to infest with maggots."

"Rather than letting her live like this, it's better to... sigh..."

Is that her sister Qiao Yuan's voice?

Qiao He struggled to open her eyes, only to hear her father's cold voice outside the door: "Letting her live until now is already showing her mercy! Yuanyuan, you are kind and can't bear to kill her. Dad will go deliver her food. After she finishes eating and dies, I'll come and clean up the mess!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy iron door to the basement creaked open.

Qiao He quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Qiao's father threw a bowl of moldy food in front of Qiao He, "You're awake, so hurry up and eat! Who are you trying to fool by lying there pretending to be dead all day! You're useless; you can even get hurt while robbing supplies!"

After uttering these cold words, the middle-aged man left with a sullen face.

Qiao He's heart sank to the ground. These were... her family?

When she wasn't injured, they treated her like an animal; when she was injured, they poisoned her food and killed her!

A tear rolled down Qiao He's cheek. What was she trying to achieve by struggling desperately in the apocalypse for three years?

The frail girl's hands trembled as she prepared to secretly pour out the bowl of poisoned food...

But just then, the iron gate was pushed open from the outside with a loud bang.

In the dim light, the newcomer was slender and graceful. Even in the apocalypse, she remained as beautiful and pure as a lotus flower in the water.

"Oh dear... what are you doing, sister? This was made for you by Dad himself." Qiao Yuan's eyes were filled with a cold smile, a far cry from her previous gentle and kind demeanor.

She bent down and snatched the bowl from Qiao He's hand, staring down at Qiao He.

"Sister, now that things have come to this, I'm not going to hide it from you anymore. Anyway, you're going to die soon."

Qiao Yuan grabbed Qiao He's chin, forcing her to open her mouth wide, and then poured the entire bowl of spoiled food into Qiao He's mouth.

"Ugh...cough cough cough!" Qiao He coughed violently, her dark almond-shaped eyes wide open.

A look of surprise, despair, and finally anger flashed in his eyes!

"You...Qiao Yuan...you!"

puff--

Qiao He spat out a mouthful of black blood, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.

Qiao Yuan, however, had no intention of letting her go. She stomped hard on Qiao He's rotting thigh with one foot, grinding it relentlessly.

A piercing pain surged through Qiao He, causing her to tremble all over, break out in a cold sweat, and scream in agony: "Ah!"

"Good sister, do you still think I'm your sister? Too bad I'm not your sister. I'm a transmigrator. I've taken everything from you, bit by bit. Your parents and brothers all dote on me... except for your eight cats!"

A glint of malice flashed in Qiao Yuan's eyes as she said sharply, "They attack me one by one, tsk! They're so incredibly annoying!"

"I originally planned to spare their lives. These eight cats, who knows, they might mutate and awaken superpowers if I raised them~"

"But they all side with you, and they only recognize you as their master!"

"Cat... Qiao Yuan... what did you do to my cat! They... they're all your fault?!" Qiao He's lips were black, clearly indicating that she had been poisoned.

Qiao Yuan laughed heartily, tears welling up in her eyes. She patted Qiao He's face, and her words pierced Qiao He's heart like poisoned arrows.

"When the extreme heat of hell arrived, several were strangled to death... and when the extreme cold came, several more froze to death."

"Do you remember that time we ate that strange meat?"

Qiao Yuan's eyes crinkled with schadenfreude as she said, "That's your darlings' meat! I see you're enjoying it quite a bit, hahaha!"

Qiao He trembled with rage, her stomach spasming repeatedly, and she suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and a mixture of stomach acid.

She stared intently at Qiao Yuan, but her consciousness grew increasingly faint.

In a daze, she saw the blood jade pendant hanging around Qiao Yuan's neck, which was originally left to her by her grandmother...

Before dying, Qiao He, her eyes red, bit Qiao Yuan's calf hard, tearing off a piece of bloody flesh. "Qiao Yuan! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

"Aaaaah! Qiao He, you bitch, how dare you bite me! I'll kill you!"

...

...

Consciousness seemed to float in the ocean.

The soft little tongue licked Qiao He's hand little by little.

A large, fluffy tail swept across her face, then back again.

Qiao He was covered in cold sweat when she suddenly woke up with a start: "Ah!!!"

The three cats that had been surrounding Qiao He looked at her in horror: What the hell was that noise?!

Upon seeing the cozy bedroom and the three kittens beside her, Qiao He's dark eyes narrowed sharply.

"What...what's going on?"

A loud knocking sounded at the door, and the eldest brother Qiao Yimu's cold voice came from outside: "Still sleeping? It's time to go collect the supplies. Go get one for Yuanyuan. She has a cold and can't go out."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, a cold glint flashed in Qiao He's eyes. She took out her phone and checked it.

The year is 2187 AD!

She was reborn before the apocalypse!

Temperatures are soaring; we're on the eve of extreme heat hell.

There's only one month left until the apocalypse begins!

That's right, a month from now will bring a year-long period of 50-degree Celsius heat!

That was an extremely hot hell, the beginning of a cataclysmic apocalypse!
