This is a talent apartment building.
Almost all the people living there are those who stayed in the city to work after graduation.
But there are also ordinary tenants, including a group of men who were brought in from other places to do construction work.
All of these people were arranged to stay at Jin Shu's house.
The original owner, who was timid, socially awkward, and lacked social skills, naturally refused, but in the end, she had no choice but to agree.
When the door was kicked open, the original owner was slapped across the face by a man.
The other party was furious and shouted aggressively.
"How shameless of you! Even at a time like this, you're only thinking about yourself! Don't our lives matter too?!"
The original owner was so dizzy from the slap that she was incapacitated for several days. During those days, they ruthlessly plundered her supplies, including food, water, medicine, and everything else she had hoarded, all of which were confiscated by the leader.
Her room was also occupied by men.
The original owner, who hadn't been in a relationship for over twenty years, suffered from severe androgyny. Even though the leader of the group repeatedly assured her that she wouldn't be harmed, she was still startled awake by a pair of cold, unfamiliar hands under the covers one early morning.
She screamed and rushed out of the room, pounding on the door opposite.
Finally, the door opened, and the male and female protagonists stood side by side in the doorway, blocking the view inside but unable to block the faint aroma of food wafting from within.
With the water and power outage, the aroma of this food must be from stir-frying. The original owner instantly reacted like a cat with its fur standing on end, crying out.
"You're hoarding supplies! You're eating and drinking well! Why do I have to give you all my supplies?! Why do I have to live with them?! Get them out of my house! Or let me live in your house! I don't want to live with them anymore!"
The female lead had a tense expression, while the male lead frowned, each of them saying a few words.
"This is the result of the initial allocation. For the sake of the collective good, you must adjust your mindset."
"The collective interest is now above the individual interest. Everyone just wants to survive in the apocalypse. You're unwilling to do this or that. Do you think this is still before the apocalypse?"
“I’ve brought out all my belongings. If you don’t believe me, you can come in and search. If you find even one more thing, I’ll agree to let them all live in my house.”
“My house is half the size of yours, so we have to accommodate more people at your house than at mine. It’s a last resort, and you should be able to understand why.”
The original owner was so angry that she cried.
She broke down and screamed.
In the face of the collective, she was the individual who was sacrificed.
The people assigned to the female lead's family are all highly qualified graduates from prestigious universities, either doctors or senior engineers.
Moreover, with the male protagonist in charge, these people strictly abide by the rules and live together peacefully.
And what about her family? Those men were all domineering and tyrannical. The only woman assigned to their home had already been secretly violated by one of the men.
The original owner knew that if things continued like this, she would be the next one to suffer.
The outside is the end times, the inside is hell.
So while the men went out to search for supplies, she secretly packed up the hidden supplies, preparing to leave this place when it got light and the rain stopped.
As a result, she was discovered by the male protagonist and others who had returned from outside as soon as she reached the bottom of the building.
She was kicked out of the apartment for hoarding supplies and being selfish.
The same applies to the men and women who were driven out.
The original owner, who was kicked out of the house, naturally had only one fate: death.
As her thoughts returned, everything seemed to have just happened: Jin Shu had been kicked out, and apart from her wounds, she had nothing left.
She sneered.
Hidden supplies?
Isn't this what the female lead is best at?
Knowing the whole plot, Jin Shu naturally understood why the female lead could accept those people so readily and why she could selflessly share all her resources.
All of this is because the female protagonist not only returned from the dead, but she also knows that the male protagonist and his friends living in her apartment are all survival experts in the future apocalypse. In addition, it is because of the spatial secrets she awakened after her rebirth.
She has a mobile space where time stands still and it can store a large amount of supplies.
Long before the apocalypse, she had already stockpiled enough supplies in her space to survive for more than ten lifetimes. After the conflict broke out in the apartment, she took in the male protagonist and others and selflessly shared all the supplies in her apartment. But in reality, those supplies were just the tip of the iceberg for her.
She knew that the living conditions would deteriorate drastically in the years following the apocalypse, to the point that even with sufficient supplies, without a reliable and stable base, one would eventually perish.
So she took the initiative to accept the male protagonist and others in the apartment.
They are the builders of the future human base. They possess extremely high intelligence and superhuman abilities, enabling them to establish a safe survival base in the coming years as the living environment continues to deteriorate.
But the male protagonist and others weren't the only ones who survived in this apartment building, but she didn't want to waste resources on others.
Thus, the original owner, Jin Shu, became the unlucky one.
——
As darkness fell, the downpour resumed.
The temperature in the air dropped sharply, from over 30 degrees Celsius to below zero in less than an hour.
Jin Shu huddled in the corner, waiting silently.
Finally, the sound of the wind subsided, and the sound of the waves crashing downstairs disappeared.
The temperature, which was continuing to drop, also froze at this moment.
Jin Shu slowly got up, walked to the window, looked at the world that belonged only to her, and silently exhaled.
It's too cold. The most important thing right now is to go back and find some clothes.
The water downstairs had risen to thigh level, and the black water could easily burn human skin. Jin Shu removed a door panel to use as a makeshift boat and rowed down to the apartment building.
Upon reaching the top floor and opening the door, I found a man inside eating canned food around a stove. The water inside the stove was boiling, and the room was fairly warm.
All food and water were controlled by the male protagonist, so what was left in the house was just some food that had just been allocated to them.
Jin Shu ignored them and went into the house on her own, packing up all the remaining supplies and taking them with her.
The cabinet contains cold medicine, insecticide, and two bottles of Vitamin C tablets.
The sanitary napkins under the bed also need to be taken, along with three packs of toilet paper and a pack of disposable underwear. These are all supplies that the original owner often hoarded.
Then she went into the kitchen, pried open the floorboards, and took out two packets of instant noodles and a box of canned beef that the original owner had hidden inside.
Besides these, they had also ransacked the house. Looking at the home that was no longer familiar, Jin Shu stripped off all the cotton-padded clothes worn by the men, not even sparing their pants.
He picked up the canned food lying around and ate it in big mouthfuls. After filling his stomach, he put on thick clothes and waited until his body warmed up a bit before taking away everything usable from the house.
