In the gray doomsday world, Lin Yirou, an inconspicuous female supporting role, seems to have been paved with a path to cannon fodder by fate.
Her existence seems to be just to set off the glorious future of the hero and heroine - an indestructible fortress that will become a safe haven for the two because of her sacrifice.
Lin Yiru's mother, Su Qing, is a woman of decisive character.
In her early years, because she was dissatisfied with Lin Yirou's father Lin Hao's seemingly mediocre and incompetent attitude towards life, she resolutely chose to divorce. With the longing for a new life, she married another man and gave birth to a son.
However, it was not until the eve of doomsday, when the frozen prophecy pierced everyone's heart like ice, that Su Qing suddenly recalled the doomsday prophecy that her ex-husband Lin Hao had mentioned countless times, as well as his unknown preparations.
Hopefully, Su Qing embarked on a journey to find Lin Yirou with her current husband and son.
They passed through the abandoned city, crossed the frozen river, and finally arrived at the fortress hidden in the wilderness.
Lin Yirou, the girl who had been waiting here silently, carrying everything on her thin shoulders, had a barely perceptible flash of surprise and desire in her eyes the moment she saw her mother.
However, this warmth was soon shattered by the cruel reality.
Su Qing took advantage of Lin Yirou's desire for maternal love and coaxed her into opening the door of the fortress.
Just as the door slowly opened, Su Qing's expression became cold and resolute. She pushed Lin Yirou out of the door, leaving her to shiver and shout in the biting cold wind until her voice gradually disappeared in the cold air.
Lin Yirou struggled in despair, but the extremely cold temperature quickly eroded her body. In the end, she could only fall down helplessly and turned into a cold corpse on the snow-covered ground.
Su Qing's family, on the other hand, occupied the fortress with peace of mind, enjoying the safety that Lin Yirou had bought with her life.
Two months later, the protagonist of the doomsday world, along with his team, arrived like the messenger of destiny.
He was attracted by the fortress's solid defense and requisitioned it without hesitation as the core base of his power.
No one cared about Lin Yirou's disappearance, and no one pursued the matter, because in this cruel world, the life and death of cannon fodder characters were nothing more than a wisp of smoke that dissipated with the wind.
The original owner's wish: to protect his own family and survive the doomsday.
Song Jiao looked through the crack in the door and saw heavy snow outside. Snowflakes were fluttering like goose feathers. The sky was so gloomy that it seemed like it would collapse at any time and completely swallow up the world.
The cold wind mixed with snowflakes mercilessly hit the closed door, making a whistling sound.
Su Qing stood at the door, wearing only a thin coat, shivering with cold.
She glanced at Tang Dalong, who was clutching the fire axe, and anxiously urged him, "Hurry up and do it! In this awful weather, if you don't open the door, we're all going to freeze to death!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Dalong clenched his fists and blew twice on his fingers, trying to make his stiff fingers more flexible.
He gritted his teeth and threw all his strength at the door. The metal door frame made a crisp sound, but the door did not budge, as if it was firmly embedded in the wall.
Tang Dalong knocked on the door several more times unwillingly, but the door remained as solid as a rock and did not waver at all.
He was so tired and out of breath that he had to retreat.
At this time, Tang Zilong took over his position. He swung the fire axe and smashed it hard against the door.
However, after a few more attempts, he was exhausted and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "What should I do? The gate won't break down, and there's an electric fence in the yard. It seems like I'll have to let that little bitch open the door from the inside."
This place was supposed to be his, but now it's occupied by this little bitch.
"Mom, please think of something and let this little bitch let us in! We're freezing."
Su Qing was melancholy for a while, "Okay, I'll find a way!"
Su Qing stood at the door, pretending to be in great pain, her voice trembling and pleading: "Rou Rou, Mom was wrong just now, can you please open the door first? We are really freezing to death! This is your brother, you can't just stand by and watch him die!"
Her words were filled with helplessness and sadness, as if she were truly repenting for her mistakes. However, a hint of viciousness and determination flashed in her eyes, and it was clear that she was not going to give up this place that originally belonged to them so easily.
Song Jiao sat on the sofa, listening quietly to the noise outside the door.
She remembered the system space she had obtained before, and decided to go in and take a look.
She closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and instantly entered that mysterious space.
Inside the space, a vibrant scene comes into view.
All kinds of crops have matured, with abundant fruits and an enticing aroma.
The livestock on the farm are also growing very strong, with shiny coats and full of energy.
My goodness, when was this made?
Don’t you have to worry about it for a while?
Song Jiao was busy in the space for a while, picking all the fruits and vegetables and arranging them carefully. Then she nodded with satisfaction and turned to walk towards the door.
She gently opened the door a tiny crack, revealing only a pair of clear eyes, with a playful smile on the corner of her mouth: "What did you just say? I didn't hear it, repeat it again!"
Outside the door, Tang Zilong and his group were shivering with cold. Seeing the eyes peeking out from the crack in the door, he suddenly stood up and angrily reached in, trying to threaten Song Jiao to open the door. However, as soon as his fingers touched the crack in the door, he felt as if they were burned by fire. The pain was unbearable, and he quickly retracted his fingers.
"Ah!" Tang Zilong cried out in pain, staring at his fingers with wide eyes, only to see a layer of tiny blisters on them.
He stared at the crack in the door with gritted teeth, as if he wanted to imprint Song Jiao's figure in his mind.
"Forget it! Goodbye!" Song Jiao's voice was a little teasing, and then she slammed the door shut, isolating Tang Zilong's roar and curses outside.
Tang Zilong was so angry that he was shaking all over. He rushed towards the door and hit it with all his strength.
However, just as he knocked against the door, the shower head above his head suddenly sprayed out a stream of cold water, soaking him through.
This time, he was shivering with cold and almost cursed out loud with gritted teeth.
"This damn bitch! How dare she treat us like this!" Tang Zilong roared, but looked at the closed door helplessly.
Su Qing and Tang Dalong behind him also looked angry and helpless. They didn't expect Song Jiao to be so cunning and set up so many traps to deal with them.
"Little bitch, I'm going to kill you, kill you!"
