Chapter 2: Omens Emerge
The community is backed by a mountain, and all the apartment buildings are built following the terrain. Qin Zhiyu lives in the highest area on the top of the mountain.
The first natural disaster was not difficult, but the subsequent high temperature, heavy rain and floods were difficult. Qin Zhiyu survived the high temperature by chance and was able to survive the following two natural disasters, thanks to the community's towering terrain, which ranks first in the waterfront area.
Qin Zhiyu ran around the community and was sweating profusely, but he was not very tired. He had been exercising every day, and now running with weights just increased the difficulty of training.
While running, she observed the overall terrain of the community.
There are narrow paths interspersed among the green vegetation, which extend in all directions and cover the entire community. When you walk through these paths, you will always find a bright future.
I ran the last lap and returned home.
Qin Zhiyu lives alone in a two-story villa. She was originally an adopted girl, but her adoptive parents eventually became pregnant with a son, and the relationship at home gradually became awkward.
Her adoptive parents were very good and never treated her badly materially. They bought Qin Zhiyu a two-story villa with a ten-square-meter yard in this third-tier city, plus a Beetle as her coming-of-age gift.
Qin Zhiyu did not refuse, thinking of repaying them well after he got a job. When he became an adult, he moved out to live alone and train himself.
Although they were his adoptive parents, Qin Zhiyu had developed deep feelings for them and his younger brother after living together for more than ten years. Unfortunately, his parents were no longer around. Two years ago, his adoptive parents went on a long voyage to deliver goods, but the ship hit a reef and sank into the Pacific Ocean, never to return.
Her brother never returned to China after that. After graduation, he traveled around the world as an explorer. She lived alone in this city. After graduation and finding a job, she settled in Cannes.
"It's time to rest again. I wish you a good dream tonight." Qin Zhiyu said to himself.
Qin Zhiyu didn't expect that this last dream would be so long.
When she sat up from the bed in a cold sweat, the sky was gray and covered the earth.
[Ding——, information received, the natural disaster system has been successfully loaded.]
[System binding completed. The user of this system is Qin Zhiyu. It cannot be transferred or separated. Welcome to use it.]
Level: 0
Upgrade method: blood sacrifice.
【Function: Please check after level 1】
[Countdown to natural disaster: 3 days, 5 hours, and 34 minutes]
Qin Zhiyu had another dream and quickly recorded it. This time the dream lasted 19 hours and he woke up at 18:26, which was twice as long as the previous dreams. There was still no news of his brother Qin Yanheng in the dream.
Qin Zhiyu originally thought that the final outcome would be his death in a natural disaster, but after the fourth natural disaster in the dream ended, Wen Zhiyin used special means to reach her own Tai'an community. The resources allocated to her shelter were seized by her with absolute strength, and even those who entered the ruins were targeted by Wen Zhiyin's admirers.
By chance, he obtained the advanced design drawings, but the news was leaked by someone who entered the ruins. Wen Zhiyin's admirer hired someone to set a trap. Qin Zhiyu not only lost the drawings, but also his life.
He kept dreaming that he was dead, and the dream did not stop, but this time his vision was drawn to a woman named Mei Xunmei.
Mei Xunmei is a female special forces soldier with superb martial arts skills. She is from a wealthy family. Her biological mother died early and her father remarried. As the saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. Her stepmother gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, a brother Mei Ting and a sister Mei Chen.
The twins, a boy and a girl, were born with the halo of a wealthy family. The twins were born at the peak of Mei's father's career, so they were naturally the apple of everyone's eye. The happy life of the family of four made Mei's father gradually forget the daughter born to his ex-wife who died young.
Mei Xunmei herself is not a person who likes to win favor and speak sweetly. Instead, she inherited the genes from her maternal grandfather and volunteered to join the army since she was a child. Her many years of military career have made her develop a strong character. She is different from her younger sister who was spoiled at home since childhood, and also different from her younger brother who has outstanding business talent since childhood and is highly valued by Mei's father.
During an operation to capture a criminal suspect, he was forced into the jungle by drug dealers. After fighting with a wolf, he fell into a cave and was trapped in it. He accidentally discovered traces of human survival, obtained inheritance, and opened up space.
Plants can be grown and objects can be placed in the space, and the time flows twice as fast in the space as outside. One day in the space is equal to 12 hours outside.
Coming from a wealthy family, she didn't think this space was of much use; her ambition was still to be a soldier.
The benefit of the space is only for daily tasks, reducing the burden of marching, carrying more medical supplies and materials, and improving logistical support. Medicines, food, water resources, simple survival supplies, etc. are placed in the space. The rest is to test the soil and time flow rate when bored, and randomly plant Chinese herbal plants and other seeds.
As for not taking good care of it, since she came from a wealthy family and had plenty of space to produce the materials, she just grew it for fun.
However, Mei Xunmei was well aware of the special nature of the space and did not tell anyone about it. When the natural disaster came later, the items she had placed there before provided her with great help in the early stages of survival, and those precious seeds were priceless.
Wen Zhiyin grew up in a poor family. She went on a trip to the Daba Mountains. The mountain road was rugged and her car had a flat tire and overturned into the river. Fortunately, the water was not very deep during the dry season. She had done a lot of farm work since she was a child, so she was not as weak as ordinary women. She quickly broke the car window and escaped.
After being rescued, she unexpectedly discovered that every time she did farm work, the plants grew well and fast. She was always careful and attentive and quickly discovered this peculiarity. She also realized that she had acquired this ability because of an accidental car accident.
Afterwards, Wen Zhiyin used her ability to accelerate the growth of plants and opened a farm after several operations. Unfortunately, things did not go as she wished and natural disasters disrupted her plans. According to her original plan, she had already led her hometown out of poverty, promoted the brand nationwide, and became a well-known successful female entrepreneur.
The natural disaster wiped out everything and all efforts were wasted.
Wen Zhiyin secretly hated why God was so unfair to her. Her parents divorced and abandoned her when she was young to go out to make a living. She could only depend on her grandmother. Just when her life was about to get better, a natural disaster ruthlessly wiped out her achievements.
However, she was not the type to sit and wait for death. Instead, she tried hard to survive. During a visit to a miracle, she learned about Mei Xunmei's ability. She was very jealous because she thought that if she obtained this space, she would be able to live better in natural disasters, instead of having the ability but not enough space to display it.
Since then, Wen Zhiyin has felt that she is the real heroine, and Mei Xunmei came to give her a space, so she secretly investigated Mei Xunmei and tried every means to trip her up...
The dream ended here. Qin Zhiyu sat on the bed with a wry smile, wondering what was going on.
Thinking of the two female characters in the dream, their good looks, and their thick golden fingers, and then looking at myself, I experienced the thrill of doomsday from a 360-degree angle, and finally died.
It was like someone else's heroine's script, and in the dream she was just a cannon fodder who got in the way and died tragically.
I don’t know if this dream was a premonition or if it was really an experience I had in my previous life.
Qin Zhiyu didn't worry too much about which one it was. Now that he had this dream, he was more confident that he could survive the doomsday and live long.
As for those people with thick golden fingers, you won’t encounter them in the early stage of doomsday. The most important thing is to survive by yourself, avoid their sharp edges, and become stronger than them.
As for revenge, we need to find an opportunity and plan it carefully.
Qin Zhiyu carried today's food as well as a live fish, a live chicken, and a live duck, and walked towards the building where he lived. Under the dim street lights, there were a few fellow travelers scattered around him. Everyone was wrapped up tightly and walked hurriedly. In the cover of night, no one was in the mood to chat.
Unknown black smoke floated in front of my eyes, and I felt even more stuffy with the mask on.
Qin Zhiyu was thinking, since the natural disaster system said "information loading completed", did it mean that the dream was over, or that he would not dream again in the few days before the natural disaster.
Whatever the reason, the information provided by the system now is undoubtedly very valuable, which makes her look forward to the day when the system is activated even more.
According to the system's requirement for a [blood sacrifice], Qin Zhiyu wondered if she needed to kill a living creature with her own hands. The choice of living creatures could only be chickens, ducks, fish, etc. that were easy to find in daily life. It was impossible to kill people in an orderly and stable environment. Besides, she had no legitimate reason and could not do it.
The osmanthus leaves above his head swirled and hit him on the head. Qin Luo gave a bitter smile. The countdown was getting shorter and shorter. He didn't know if the plants also felt the coming of doomsday and were growing desperately, racing against time.
Normally, when you walk by here, you can look up and see the sky through this osmanthus tree. Now the branches completely cover your head, and the light becomes even dimmer when you walk under the tree.
In recent years, the environment has changed dramatically, with floods in the desert and droughts in places that should have been rainy seasons. The air at night is turbid, with some dust always floating in the air.
Experts say that the black dust is harmless to the human body, but who believes this? No one wants to experiment with their own body, so people who go out at night and return home at night and have a strong sense of safety all wear masks.
"Alas, the end of the world is almost here, and I haven't seen any amazing superpowers emerge yet. Fengshui, thunder, lightning, any of them will do. There are also human heroines, female supporting characters, space, and the ability to induce plant growth."
In Qin Zhiyu's opinion, the struggle between Wen Zhiyin and Mei Xunmei involved abundant resources, powerful abilities, and numerous male and female followers and admirers around them. She herself was at most cannon fodder. If this were an online novel, then in this article, she would not even be considered a supporting female role.
Qin Zhiyu laughed at himself while observing his surroundings. The dense vegetation in front of him was peeking at passers-by with its dense branches and leaves with ill intent.
"Ah--" the man next to him shouted, "What the hell!" A dark shadow quickly snatched the bag and nimbly passed under his feet.
"Give it back to me, you beast!" the man cursed and started chasing after him.
A scream was left in the darkness, which was creepy.
