Reborn Before the Apocalypse: Hoarding Billions of Resources

A super-widespread meteor shower descended upon Blue Star, reshuffling existing scientific laws. Various monsters arrived on Earth with the black rain, alongside the unknown black domains formed af...

Chapter 5 Booking a Customized Safe House

The summer sun rises exceptionally early; it's bright outside before five o'clock.

"It's so hot today!"

An old man in the park, holding a Tai Chi sword and slowly practicing, was complaining.

He had a sweat-absorbing towel hanging around his neck, and his chest was soaked with sweat.

"I was woken up by the heat this morning. My wife took a look at the thermometer and, good heavens! It was 40 degrees Celsius. It's never been this hot in the mornings before."

"It's all because of these people nowadays. They only know how to produce and don't know how to protect the environment. I think the world might end any day now!"

"It was a self-fulfilling prophecy," Gu Mingyue thought to herself as she ran her lap.

There are already signs of an impending apocalypse around the world, and as a citizen of the Flower Kingdom, she really wants to tell everyone to prepare for the end of the world.

However, she was just an ordinary person who had never even met the mayor of Black Tiger City.

Doomsday prophecies are readily available online; many people take them as jokes, but few take them seriously.

While scrolling through short videos last night, she saw several comments that accurately predicted the end of the world. She then commented on a few end-of-the-world guidelines that she should pay attention to after the end times arrive.

Hopefully, someone will see this and remember it. This is the greatest effort she can make as an ordinary person.

After warming up, Gu Mingyue returned to her room and took out her dagger, swinging it in the air a thousand times.

After swinging her knife, she flashed into the space, where eight smart tennis ball machines were placed in different positions on the grass. Gu Mingyue stood in the middle, constantly dodging them to train her reaction speed.

Just as she dodged tennis balls from eight directions, dozens more rained down on her head like a shower of flowers. After emptying a basket of tennis balls, Xinghe, dressed in a white robe, floated away gracefully.

While dodging awkwardly, Gu Mingyue shouted that it wasn't enough and that the tennis balls should come even more fiercely.

Seeing this, Xinghe, with innocent starry eyes, increased the frequency of his serves. After one ball hit the target, countless balls seemed to have eyes and kept hitting him. Gu Mingyue, panting heavily, waved her hand, signaling Xinghe to press the pause button.

Her physical abilities are now far inferior to what they were before her rebirth. She can't dodge bullets after only an hour, whereas before she could dodge them blindfolded.

After leaving the space, Gu Mingyue hurriedly ordered several takeout meals to treat herself: pizza, hamburgers, a family bucket, grilled steak...

Everything was laid out on the table.

While eating breakfast, I contacted the owner of the online customized safe house.

Gu Mingyue's apartment is located in the suburbs, on the top floor of Unit 4, Building 4, Junyuefu Community. There is only one other apartment opposite, and it also comes with a flat-roofed attic with a huge terrace, where you can grow vegetables and flowers. In total, the attic and terrace are 150 square meters.

Apart from a university on the east side, it is almost completely isolated from the crowds.

There is a wide river nearby that will not cause drought, and a mountain over 1,000 meters high on the riverbank that will not be affected by floods. There is also an abandoned air-raid shelter at the foot of the mountain. It is the perfect place to be the first stronghold in the post-apocalyptic world.

Upon receiving the call, Gu Mingyue said, "Hello, I would like to customize a safe house."

"The windows need bulletproof glass, the walls need steel plates, the doors need to have the same level of security as banks, and the highest level of air filtration systems need to be installed. I also need to build a disinfection and isolation room near the door. Money is not a problem."

The person in charge of the customized safe house quickly arrived at the Junyuefu community based on the address given over the phone. After inspecting the building structure and confirming that it could withstand the steel plates, construction began.

Just as Gu Mingyue finished confirming the house plan with the person in charge of building the safe house, her phone started buzzing.

Wu Feng is an online store purchasing agent.

He was efficient and had already arrived at the clothing wholesale market to discuss wholesale matters, and was chasing after Gu Mingyue for a deposit.

Everything is proceeding at a rapid pace.

After transferring the money, Gu Mingyue contacted the warehouse manager who managed the online store and gave him the money to rent ten more large warehouses nearby. She also told him to handle the handover directly with Wu Feng and to contact her again when it was time to pay the final payment.

Time flies, and Sunday is here in the blink of an eye.

As soon as it was light, Gu Jianshu began his relentless urging, and his cell phone rang in Gu Mingyue's ear.

She reluctantly removed her blindfold, but when she saw 500 million yuan deposited into her bank account and the remaining savings, she felt happy.

Yesterday, she called Gu Jianshu, complaining that the equity transfer was too troublesome, and asked him to directly deposit 500 million yuan into her account.

It's only 500 million. Gu Jianshu would be more than happy if Gu Mingyue didn't want the stocks. As long as Xiaotian's illness is cured, his high-ranking father-in-law will agree to his new project in the city center.

Unless the father-in-law falls from grace, the stock value will only snowball and grow larger.

Gu Mingyue's short-sighted behavior made him very proud.

As expected, his ex-wife's child is just like her—timid, short-sighted, and lacking in vision!

Gu Mingyue ate soup dumplings while checking her chat history on her phone.

It contains Gu Jianshu's cursing voice messages about her not coming to the hospital, Lin Yue'e's desperate pleas, and Gu Zihao's apology text messages.

There was also Gu Qinxue's hidden ulterior motive in her caring words, telling her not to be too busy and to take care of her health, while also mentioning the downsides of donating bone marrow...

People are truly a thousand different people, each with their own hidden agendas!

She couldn't wait to see the drama unfold at the hospital!

When Gu Mingyue arrived at the hospital, she saw a group of people pacing anxiously in the hospital lobby.

To everyone's surprise, Gu Mingyue was very punctual.

The moment Gu Zihao and Gu Qinxue saw her, their expressions suddenly turned very ugly.

Gu Mingyue knew what these two were thinking. They just wanted her to play the bad guy so they could politely refuse. After all, the equity confirmation was already signed, so the money couldn't just disappear.

But she wouldn't let them have their way, wearing a saintly smile and cooperating perfectly with all the examinations.

Anyway, she's not the one who's actually a match, so if she doesn't come, wouldn't we be missing out on a good show?

Seeing that even the troublesome Gu Mingyue was obediently letting the doctor do as he pleased, Gu Zihao and the other man had no choice but to extend their arms and let the needle be inserted into their veins, no matter how unwilling they were.

Gu Jianshu and his wife were wealthy, so they found a well-known private hospital in Huaguo for their beloved son.

Gu Mingyue found the most comfortable sofa in the lounge and sat down lazily.

I opened the takeout I just ordered. A bowl of slightly spicy potato noodles was placed in the middle, seaweed rice rolls were on the left, and fried chicken and a large cup of milk tea with plenty of toppings were on the right.

Lin Yue'e couldn't bear to see her so relaxed, but she didn't dare to say anything harsh, so she could only suggest tactfully, "Mingyue, these things are too unhealthy, you should eat less of them in the future!"

"No, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this anymore!" Gu Mingyue said with her mouth stuffed full, without even looking up.

What was said unintentionally may have been taken to heart by the listener.

Hearing this, Lin Yue'e's eyes reddened, and she cursed inwardly. What did Gu Mingyue mean? Was she afraid that she wouldn't be able to eat it anymore? She was clearly hoping that Xiao Tian wouldn't be able to eat it anymore!

Why isn't it that this vicious, despicable woman who got sick!
