Chapter 1: It's Not Too Late, Reborn Before the End of the World
The TV report continued: "...According to XX, botanists have recently discovered several new mutant plant species near Xige Town, which may be related to the meteorite shower three years ago...Their size and fruit are far larger than those of normal plants. Experts say they have the potential to replace existing edible vegetables and fruits..."
Yao Tao stared at the TV screen in a daze.
Is she... reborn?
I looked at the date on my phone.
Yes, this is not a dream.
She was reborn into the past.
I believe that many foodies will be delighted to see the mutated vegetables and fruits on TV. They don’t know that behind the mutated plants is waiting for them a cruel doomsday and an era of competing with various mutated plants.
Human beings will slide from the top of the food chain and fall into the mud.
Just like the story of "Jack and the Beanstalk", humans will live in a terrifying "forest" formed by various mutated plants.
Before the apocalypse, only plants mutated, but then insects that ate the mutated plants also began to mutate, followed by animals and humans.
After animals and plants mutate, they will become huge in size and their temperaments will change drastically, and humans will become their prey.
Human mutations only manifest themselves in various diseases, and after mutation, various discomfort symptoms will appear, leading to death.
However, there are a small number of humans who are not affected by the mutation and will not be infected even if they eat mutated plants or animals.
Yao Tao is one of them.
She didn't know why she wasn't affected by the mutated food she ate. Could it be because she had spatial abilities?
Calculating the time, there is still one month left until the end of the world.
There is still time for everything.
She quickly turned off the TV, picked up her phone and called a loan company: "I want to consult about a home mortgage... Yes, I want it as soon as possible..."
After experiencing the apocalypse herself, she knows the importance of stockpiling.
She is not a rich person. Her parents died early, and she had a liver transplant due to a serious illness. Now the only valuable thing she has is the house of less than 40 square meters left by her parents.
After the apocalypse began, plants mutated and grew wildly, and buildings were entangled by their huge roots and rolled up into the air.
Some buildings were overturned along with their foundations by the immense force of the plants breaking through the soil...
By then, the house will become the least valuable asset, so it is better to exchange it for money now.
Generally, it takes at least 15 days for a loan to be approved. She cannot waste time and must collect supplies as soon as possible.
But before that, she had one important thing to do.
She wants to find the person who gave her the "space" ability.
In her previous life, her boyfriend Zhu Hua accompanied her to the hospital to get medicine when they met a mysterious boy who gave her the ability of "space".
Unfortunately, she trusted Zhu Hua too much at the time and told him the secret without reservation.
Zhu Hua used her to collect a large amount of supplies in the apocalypse and also formed his own team.
She thought Zhu Hua loved her and protected her very "carefully". Every time he went out to look for supplies, he would send someone to accompany her.
Recalling the past, she couldn't help but laugh at herself until tears came out.
He was not protecting her at all, he was clearly sending people to monitor her and prevent her from embezzling supplies.
It's ridiculous that she was wholeheartedly devoted to Zhu Hua and his team, but in the end she was framed by Zhu Hua for embezzling the team's supplies.
After she took out all her supplies to prove her innocence, Zhu Hua still threw her into the mutant rabbit's nest, where she was eaten alive by the mutant rabbits.
Feeling the pain and hatred in her heart, Yao Tao smiled even more brightly, her eyes full of madness.
This time without her space to help her, she wanted to see how Zhu Hua would survive in the apocalypse.
She first went to a small supermarket, bought some bread, ham and drinks, and then went to the hospital.
She had a liver transplant and had to go to the hospital every month to get her medicine.
This time she did not call Zhu Hua to accompany her to the hospital, but went alone to the corridor where she met the boy based on her memory.
The benches on both sides were filled with patients and their families. She saw the young man in hospital gown, curled up on the bench at the end with his thin, skeleton-like body.
His head was tilted to one side, and Yao Tao could only see half of his face.
The pale skin was without a trace of blood, and one could even see the blue blood vessels underneath through the skin.
In her previous life, she didn't have time to look at the other person carefully. The boy said something strange, but she was only afraid and huddled in Zhu Hua's arms, and didn't hear what the other person said at all.
This time she didn't want to miss anything.
She walked over with her things and sat next to the boy.
The boy opened his eyes instantly, revealing a pair of eyes under his long, messy hair.
The sharp gaze made Yao Tao's heart tremble.
He didn't behave like a person who had just woken up, and his eyes were full of vigilance.
The older boy smiled after seeing Yao Tao's face clearly, and the curve of his lips was like a blade soaked in venom.
Dangerous and tempting.
Yao Tao didn't know what to say for a moment.
The boy suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Yao Tao's breathing couldn't help but stop.
A warm current flowed through his hand into her body, making her dizzy.
She knew that this feeling was the activation of the "space" ability.
She tried hard to stay awake and not faint.
In her previous life, she fainted, and when she woke up, the boy had left. Zhu Hua told her that the boy was a psychopath and had snatched away half a loaf of bread from her hand after she fainted.
"You are the last one alive, don't die..." The boy let go of her hand, snatched the bag from her hand without any hesitation, tore open the bread and stuffed it into his mouth.
"What did you mean by what you just said?" Yao Tao asked cautiously.
The boy's mouth was full, and he mumbled something that she couldn't hear clearly, "What?"
"I'm leaving." The boy suddenly jumped off the bench with a piece of bread in his mouth.
"Where are you going? You haven't told me who you are yet..." Yao Tao chased after him unwillingly.
"Bai Lin..."
After saying these two words, the boy quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Yao Tao stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning.
Bai Lin?
Is he Bai Lin?
An arrogant boss in the end times, a legendary figure with super strong combat power.
It is said that he can kill a group of mutant giant wolves with his bare hands. Countless teams want to recruit him, but he has a strange personality and is difficult to get close to...
No, Bai Lin's personality can no longer be described as weird, but rather he is moody and kills people without blinking an eye.
Bai Lin never forms alliances with anyone, nor does he join any base or team.
In the last days, he was alone and didn't even have any friends.
In her previous life, Yao Tao had never had the chance to meet Bai Lin in person, but she had heard many legends about him from Zhu Hua and the other team members: a team once wanted to form an alliance with Bai Lin, and the team leader, after meeting Bai Lin, made overtures to him, only for Bai Lin to laugh and break the other's neck...
Yao Tao subconsciously touched her neck.
Fortunately, the brain is still there.
