"It smells so good!"
"It smells fucking good!"
Xu Xing suddenly opened his eyes, propped himself up with his hands, and looked around to scan the source of the fragrance.
On the coffee table in the villa next door, roast chicken, pig's trotters, braised beef, and a whole table of hearty dishes were laid out.
The food was still steaming. Xu Xing, who had just woken up, had his hands trembling slightly and couldn't help but pinch the skin on his arms.
"Ouch! That hurts! I'm not dreaming!"
His hands instinctively reached for the food on the coffee table.
Xu Xing inadvertently turned his head and saw the calendar next to the table.
June 6, 2022!!
Suddenly, a familiar memory washed over me—it was 10 days before the apocalypse began!
Not only did I not die, I was reborn!
With a thought from Xu Xing, the roast chicken, pig's trotters, and even the calendar on the table vanished without a trace in an instant.
"Holy crap, my spatial abilities are still working."
Everything that just happened was actually transferred to another space.
After the apocalypse, about 70% of the Earth's population was instantly infected by an unknown virus and turned into zombies.
The ensuing chain reaction was global collapse, and before the surviving humans could even feel relieved, most of them were infected by the surrounding zombies.
In the early days, humans who were bitten would turn into zombies within half a minute, which was extremely terrifying.
Even more terrifying is that zombies can evolve and become increasingly powerful.
Fortunately, among the surviving humans, a small number awakened supernatural abilities under such high pressure, possessing the powerful ability to summon lightning, enough to rule over a region.
It's also so useless that it's only good enough to flicker a tiny flame on your fingertips.
Xu Xing also awakened his superpower at that time, but in the chaotic environment, he only awakened a space that could store things, which was undoubtedly a useless thing. However, if used well, it could be an extremely powerful tool.
The initial period of hardship, marked by hunger and cold, had a profound impact on Xu Xing's later behavior.
As a result, whenever he encountered supplies, his first instinct was to use his supernatural abilities to hoard them. Even after becoming a powerful ruler, he never changed this habit.
I touched my left chest through my clothes, and felt my heart still beating violently.
After calming my still excited heart, my thoughts drifted to an empty square.
The square is very large, about the size of a hundred football fields in length and width, and about 10 meters high, like a giant shipping container.
A light source appeared from nowhere, illuminating the entire space.
Strangely enough, this space seems to have no flow of time. Anything that enters here will stop and remain unchanged until it is taken out, just as it was when it first entered.
This is also the main reason why Xu Xing's faction will thrive the most in the future.
Xu Xing glanced at the dozen or so main dishes in the center of the space and swallowed hard.
They quickly brought out all the plates and neatly arranged them on the huge coffee table.
Xu Xing held a pig's trotter in his left hand and a lion's head stuck in the chopsticks in his right hand, constantly putting it into his mouth.
"Delicious! It's been so many years since I've tasted anything this good again!"
"Back in the day, I was a powerful figure in my own right, but even finding instant noodles was a struggle. Now, starting over, I have only one goal: stockpile goods!"
"Ding ding ding"
Xu Xing was happily lost in thought when his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
Xu Xing put it down, grabbed the pig's trotter with his left hand, pulled out a tissue to wipe it, and then pressed the answer button.
"Brother Xu! Is the food good? This is all made by the five-star chef of our hotel. You just told me that you were hungry. When I brought the food over, I saw that you were still sleeping, so I didn't want to disturb you."
A fawning voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding just like an old-fashioned lackey reporting his work.
Upon hearing the sound, Xu Xing nearly spat out the meat he had just eaten.
The other party was named Liu Nong. Since Xu Xing's parents passed away a few years ago, leaving behind several five-star hotels, Liu Nong has been assisting them.
At first, Xu Xing was unaware of this guy's intentions until the eve of the apocalypse, when Liu Nong completed the transfer of all his stock assets and revealed his true colors.
Xu Xing, who was still a playboy at the time, was kicked out. Later, thinking it was inappropriate, they ordered someone to secretly kill Xu Xing.
Just in time for the zombie outbreak, Liu Nong, that old dog, not only experienced a surge in popularity, but also awakened supernatural abilities.
This directly resulted in Xu Xing being constantly hunted down in the early stages of the apocalypse, living a life of constant hiding and running.
Liu Nong, is it? You just wait, it won't be long before I make sure your head is oozing pus.
Xu Xing silently formulated a plan in his mind, while constantly praising the performance aloud.
"Xiao Liu, you handled things well. There's one more thing I need your help with."
Xu Xing smiled and kept stroking his phone with his left hand. In fact, Xu Xing was only in his twenties, while Liu Nong was already over 30. But Liu Nong called him Brother Xu when they first met, and neither of them ever corrected him.
"Brother Xu, don't worry, just give me any instructions and I'll get it done."
"Very good! Call the hotel managers immediately afterward."
"Make them stop operating immediately, concentrate all human and material resources, and especially pay the chefs double wages!"
"Make sure to prepare as many portions of the hotel's signature dishes as you can within the next few days, keep them warm, and send them here to me."
Xu Xing said excitedly, this was a guarantee for part of his future livelihood, and he absolutely could not afford any mishaps.
