After testing it, Lin Rou discovered that the space was so small that it could only fit a pen. Furious, she took the bracelet off her wrist and was about to throw it on the ground when she gritted her teeth and took it back. It cost three million!

"Why should you have unlimited capacity in Bai Yan's hands? Bullshit!"

She didn't want to throw it away, though. Bai Yan's bracelet was only discovered long after the apocalypse in her previous life. Perhaps the space bracelet, like her superpower, was upgraded?

Clinging to this fantasy, she continued to wear the bracelet on her right hand. When she looked back at the warehouse full of supplies, her face turned green.

She gritted her teeth and decided that even without a spatial dimension, the supplies were real, as long as she could find a secluded and safe place.

Thinking of this, Lin Rou's eyes flickered slightly, a cold glint flashing in them.

After locking the warehouse door, she left and quickly flew to another city. From there, she hired a construction team to build her a house in a location she had chosen, according to her own blueprints.

She chose a location in the countryside, sparsely populated and with low land value. She didn't care much about the house's aesthetics, but insisted on the sturdiest materials for the doors and windows, a cellar underground, and solar panels on the roof…

Building a house in the countryside doesn't have as many requirements as in the city. Lin Rou only wants to build a house of less than 100 square meters. Apart from being sturdy, there are no other major requirements. If the money is available, it can be built in one or two months.

Building such a house wasn't expensive; Lin Rou paid double the market price and had the construction team complete it within a month. Meanwhile, she was supervising the work while also purchasing refrigerators, generators, seeds, and other post-apocalyptic necessities.

...

"Commander, I don't understand. She's just building a house, why would she go all the way to Yi County, thousands of miles away, to find migrant workers?" Xiao Lu looked at Lin Rou's movements on the monitor with a puzzled expression.

"It's not just about building houses; she could have bought everything at the nearest farmers' market, but instead she went to a much farther place to buy it in batches?"

Commander Zhang paid close attention to Lin Rou's observations. "Don't treat her like an ordinary person. The way she builds houses isn't the same as how ordinary people use them. You can also tell from her self-talk that before her rebirth, she faced extreme shortages of living supplies in the apocalypse. Her retaliatory hoarding after her rebirth is also a manifestation of her traumatic psychology."

"The end of the world is war, and war always involves burning, killing, and looting. These supplies can guarantee Lin Rou's basic living. She will not let anyone threaten her, and of course, the fewer people who know about it, the better."

Therefore, she even had to choose the people to build the houses from thousands of miles away, and they were all ordinary migrant workers. These people did not know that she had stockpiled supplies, and they would not cause her trouble from thousands of miles away.

"What about the delivery person? The delivery person will definitely find out in the end!" Xiao Lu said.

Commander Zhang frowned upon hearing this. It wasn't hard to guess what someone who had become accustomed to killing in the apocalypse would do upon returning to hide their secrets.

Seeing Commander Zhang's expression, Xiao Lu immediately guessed what was going on. "Commander, would she kill someone? How can we just sit here and wait?!"

"Don't worry." Commander Zhang waved his hand: "We have people over there who will ensure the safety of innocent civilians."

Xiao Lu was finally relieved.

Commander Zhang sighed again: "Can the apocalypse really turn an ordinary person into such a cold-blooded person?" He shook his head. In just a short time, he had already discerned Lin Rou's indifference to life.

This further confirmed the authenticity of her rebirth.

"She's not an ordinary person, she's a superhuman." Xiao Lu curled her lip, and Lin Rou's behavior showed her disdain for ordinary people.

Commander Zhang couldn't help but ponder: Superpowered individuals are ultimately a minority. If they all treated ordinary people like Lin Rou, then things would be very difficult.

"By the way, Commander, since we want to understand the apocalypse, why not just have Lin Rou cooperate with the investigation?" Xiao Lu asked, puzzled.

Commander Zhang picked up the goji berry tea beside him: "You think I don't want to?"

It would be much easier to just pull Lin Rou over and make her explain everything clearly.

But Commander Zhang is so old; he sees very clearly what Bai Yan is up to. She's dug a pit for Lin Rou and the others to fall into. If the government were to intervene now and ask Lin Rou to cooperate with the investigation, wouldn't that just be filling in the pit she dug?

Yes, Lin Rou is also a citizen, and it's unfair to her to be monitored like a monkey. But who can blame her when Bai Yan, knowing about the apocalypse, thinks about saving the world, and she has the ability to do so.

As for Lin Rou, after her rebirth, she chose to remain silent about the disaster, believing that Bai Yan was an ordinary person, and thus wanted to seize other people's private property. All of these are true.

One side has made tremendous contributions to the country and the people, while the other side's character is so despicable, so Commander Zhang naturally chose to remain silent.

"We don't need to arrange for a lot of people to stay with Lin Rou anymore. We just need to make sure she won't use her powers to harm people during this period." We know what we need to know, so there's no need for further observation.

"Yes, Commander!"

...

The research lab and Commander Zhang's wartime preparations were proceeding smoothly, and the Chinese people seemed to have a natural premonition of disaster. In the month leading up to the impending doom, some people who noticed something different from usual began posting online:

"That's strange. My family works for the grain bureau. I heard that they're buying up grain from factories and farmers on a large scale, even the stockpiled old grain."

"The vegetable bureau also ordered a lot of vacuum-packed dried vegetables, which is fine with fresh vegetables. My dad's factory hired a lot of temporary workers because of this."

"Could it be that the meteor shower a few months ago really brought about the end of the world, and someone is hoarding supplies?"

"Is the person upstairs obsessed with reading apocalyptic novels? Speaking of which, I've been feeling a bit strange lately. Didn't I watch 'Meteor Shower' on two months ago? And this month I've been getting fevers on and off. Am I about to awaken some superpowers?"

"Upstairs, you've not just awakened superpowers, you're turning into a zombie!"

"Really? I also feel like my brain is about to grow out."

Fang Zheng, an ordinary programmer who chatted online, made this comment just to joke around with the internet. But he never expected that when he got home late at night after get off work, a group of people in white coats and green military uniforms would be waiting for him at his house...
