Chapter 001 Reborn
"The quiet girl is so beautiful, waiting for me at the corner of the city." This is the origin of Jingshu's name.
Under the iron-blooded management of the town government, Jingshu's family managed to survive until the ninth year of the apocalypse. However, by then, the land was already filled with starving people, and food was extremely precious.
At this time, Jingshu accidentally activated the Rubik's Cube and obtained a portable space for farming, finally allowing her parents to live a life with enough food to eat.
But who would have thought that after being so careful in the end times, he would still fall into the trap of his loved ones!
Jingshu regretted asking her parents to help her aunt. Her mother always felt guilty: "Your uncle's family died tragically. Now only your aunt is left. Let's quietly give your aunt some food."
But I didn't expect that my aunt would come with her family later: "Sister, I knew you found Wang Congsi's secret granary, otherwise where would you get all this food? Take us there, so that you don't have to keep sending me so little that it's not enough. Don't worry, only our two families will know this secret from now on."
Jing's mother was stunned and furious. How could she explain this? I was helping you out of consideration for our last family member. How could it be taken for granted?
Jingshu was so angry that she kicked the man out and severed all ties with him.
Later, my father’s best friend, Uncle Sun, came with his wife and children.
When he knelt down and took out the 100,000 yuan he owed his father for thirteen years, he held it high in the air and trembled, crying, "Please give us a hand because I helped you before!"
He had done his father a favor, so his father had to receive the family of three, and the two of them talked late into the night by candlelight.
"This money could have been used ten years ago. Now, in this apocalypse, its only use is to start a fire. Besides, it's time to pay back the favors we received and the money we owe you." Jing Shu sneered, lit a pile of banknotes and threw them into the stove.
"...It's hard to repay a debt of gratitude." After saying this, her father recalled the trouble her aunt had been having with the grain issue these past few days and sighed, "This world... is all about food."
Who would have thought that on the second night, Uncle Sun and Auntie would join forces to attack Jingshu from inside and outside. In the chaos, Jingshu resisted too fiercely and was killed, but she also took a few people with her before she died.
"Hehe, you just wait for the decision of the town government tomorrow. No one can escape." Jingshu thought confusedly before losing consciousness.
It’s a pity that the Rubik’s Cube space cannot accommodate people.
…
I don’t know how long it took, but I just felt a burning sensation in my throat, as if fire was about to burst out. Jingshu coughed hard a few times and suddenly woke up. She sat up abruptly and looked around in confusion.
What came into view was a familiar sight: a wall of bookcases and computer desks and the familiar big soft bed.
Isn’t this what my bedroom looked like before the end of the world?
Jingshu's heart was pounding wildly. She trembled as she fumbled for her phone on the bed. She took it out and saw: November 1, 2022, Tuesday, 10:39.
Two months before the apocalypse! She went back ten years! To that 22-year-old, fresh-faced girl who had just graduated from college!
"Reborn?!" Jingshu clutched the quilt tightly, her knuckles turning white. She knew it was not a dream. Ten years of wasted life, hunger, and fear were so clearly engraved in her bones. She pinched herself purple countless times, hoping it was a nightmare, but unfortunately she never woke up.
As if she remembered something, Jingshu got out of bed and opened the curtains. Soft sunlight instantly shone in. Jingshu felt the sunlight that she had not seen in ten years. The opening credits of these years flashed through her mind like a movie, and she remembered the chaotic scene before her death.
Jingshu clenched her fists and decided that she would never make the same mistake again in this life.
She was happy because she finally saw the sunshine, but she also hated herself for not fighting for it. In an instant, Jingshu experienced all the joys and sorrows, and her mind was blank.
After a few minutes, the familiar hunger calmed Jingshu down. It turned out that she had overslept and was hungry. Jingshu ran to the kitchen and found a bowl of milk, eggs, corn and steamed buns warming in the pot.
Jingshu grabbed the steamed bun and gobbled it up, picked up the milk and drank it, then picked up the corn and took a bite. The chewy texture and sweet taste instantly burst out in her mouth. At this moment, Jingshu felt that the happiest thing in the world was to be able to eat whole grains.
Although she is at the end
In the ninth year of the world, there was a portable space for farming. Unfortunately, many species had become extinct by then, and there were even fewer seeds to find. Being able to grow something to eat and survive became a luxury for most people.
Jingshu peeled the egg carefully, bit off some of the egg white first, which tasted refreshing, then sprinkled salt evenly on the egg yolk, put it all in her mouth and chewed it slowly, savoring the aftertaste.
High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods. For example, high-end ingredients like eggs, whether they are boiled eggs, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, steamed eggs, braised eggs, or tea eggs, can make the kids next door cry with envy without coating them in egg liquid.
Young people who have not experienced famine disasters will never understand why the elderly would pick up rice grains that have fallen on the ground and eat them without feeling disgusted.
In order to eat well in the future, Jingshu started thinking about her Rubik's Cube space.
The Rubik's Cube is a Rubik's Cube toy made up of 3*3*3 small cubes. When playing, the colors of the six sides are mixed and then transformed to restore them to their original state.
When Jingshu was 16 years old, she won the title of the fastest recovery high school student in Wucheng with a time of 6.8 seconds, and then she felt it was meaningless.
When he was 18 years old, his father Jing'an gave him a coming-of-age gift, RuksReven, a fourth-order Rubik's Cube with a 4*4*4 cubic structure. The English name means revenge.
After a few days of unsuccessful attempts, Jingshu never touched it again. She started playing again out of boredom in the end times, and her recovery speed became faster and faster. However, it was not activated until the ninth year. Jingshu later thought about the conditions for activation for a long time.
"It must be the speed. It took less than 30 seconds to activate the Rubik's Cube space that time." Jingshu returned to her bedroom and found the fourth-level Rubik's Cube from a pile of miscellaneous items in the storage box. It was the portable space that could be used for farming.
Jingshu stretched her hands, took out the timer, took a deep breath, and started twisting the Rubik's Cube after a 'ding' sound. As time passed, the colorful Rubik's Cube in Jingshu's hand began to become neat from the center point at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then the colors of each side became neat. When the last rotation was aligned, Jingshu pressed the timer with a 'click'.
“00:28:59!”
Success!
