Chapter 1 Stockpiling
Chuncheng S District.
Tang Tian suddenly woke up, subconsciously turned to the side, and fell heavily, feeling a pain.
But when she raised her eyes again and saw where she was, she was shocked.
Shouldn't I have been submerged by the raging flood? How come when I opened my eyes again, I was back in my room?
Tang Tian was stunned for several minutes.
Could it be that she... was reborn?
Tang Tian's chest heaved violently, and she quickly picked up her phone that was charging on the bedside table and took a look:
November 27, 20xx
This date is three months earlier than the night when the apocalypse begins!
Tang Tian still seemed a little bit in disbelief. After all, the feeling of being unable to breathe and drowning in the last second had not completely subsided until now, and she could still clearly feel the fear brought by being on the verge of death.
At that time, people thought it was just an ordinary small natural disaster, but the temperature continued to drop until it became an ice age: freezing rain, hail, and blizzards took turns, making humans miserable and the world devastated.
After the extreme cold, the temperature began to rise again, and the snow that was dozens of meters thick gradually melted, causing floods.
However, the flood had not yet completely receded, and the temperature had risen to an incredible level, resulting in extreme heat, and many people died of heat stroke.
At first, Tang Tian was forced to go out to look for useful supplies. After climbing out of the snow, he mustered up the courage to take the risk of rafting, but still had an accident and was buried in the water.
But I didn't expect that I would be reborn and have three months to prepare supplies to survive the natural disaster!
Thinking of this, Tang Tian took a few deep breaths and tried to calm herself down.
She quickly walked out of the bedroom and looked around. This was still the house she shared with her sister. Nothing had changed, as if those terrible and long natural disasters were just a nightmare to her.
The decorative mirror on the wall reflected Tang Tian, who had short black hair that reached her shoulders, a round face and lychee eyes. She was completely different from the emaciated and skinny appearance she had after the apocalypse.
Looking at the empty room, she frowned, picked up her phone, and contacted her family to come back first.
However, she first called her mother Wei Mingxia.
At this time, Wei Mingxia was still at work. However, her phone was nearby, and when she saw it was Tang Tian, she quickly picked up the call.
"Hello? Tiantian, what's up?"
Tang Tian said seriously:
"Mom, something happened. Come back first and come to my rental house."
Before she could finish her words, she hung up the phone. This matter couldn't be explained in a few words, and if she did that, Wei Mingxia would definitely rush back immediately out of worry.
Then, she called her sister Tang Yi and used the same trick again.
After hanging up the phone, she casually sat down on a chair, and subsequent questions gradually emerged, such as...
How could she convince her mother and sister that something like the apocalypse, which sounded like a fairy tale, was about to happen?
…
“Ding Dong——”
The ringing of the doorbell outside interrupted Tang Tian's thoughts.
But the latter, who had just been reborn from the apocalypse, really couldn't remember who came to his door that day.
But now it is still a peaceful era, not the time when everyone is an enemy of each other and resorts to violence at any time, so Tang Tian still went to open the door.
The visitor turned out to be a yellow knight. He handed over a package and said hurriedly:
"Hello, your takeaway has arrived. Remember to give it a good review!"
After Tang Tian took it, she realized that there were several takeouts at the door, all of which she ordered.
She was speechless for a while, and slowly remembered that she liked to do this before the end of the world, and a large part of it was for making videos.
I took all the takeout home and put them on the table, and my stomach started to rumble.
Now that things have come to this, let’s eat first.
A big bowl of spicy hot pot, an egg burger, taro milk clams, fresh cut fruits, and a cup of mint milk tea.
Tang Tian hadn't eaten such a sumptuous meal in a long time.
In the late stage of extreme cold, everything in sight was covered with ice and snow. Although the country was transporting supplies urgently, very few of them could actually reach the hands of the people.
If Tang Tian had not relied on her work to stockpile the food sent by advertisers, and if she had not been proactive in finding supplies on her own, unlike others, she would probably have starved to death long ago.
After finally getting through the extreme cold, floods and extreme heat exacerbated the famine again. The streets were filled with starving people, and even some ordinary food was no longer available.
Taking a big bite of the hot and fragrant egg burger, Tang Tian was eager to open the package of Malatang while chewing.
As a result, she was not paying attention and the sharp edge cut a small cut on her fingertip.
"hiss……"
Tang Tian immediately let go and licked it subconsciously, but suddenly a strange, slightly electronic voice appeared in her mind:
"Beep beep... The best environment has been found... Connection detection will automatically begin... Countdown 10 seconds..."
What is this? Tang Tian was startled.
Soon, the electronic sound rang out again, even clearer and louder than before:
"Ding! The system has been successfully bound!"
"Hello, host. This system is a gourmet cooking system. The host can activate it in situations where there is a lack of delicious food, or even a lack of food, and use it to prepare a variety of dishes. Everything will be based on the host's preferences!"
"Furthermore, the delicacies in this system can also bring various magical functions to the host! Please explore and discover them on your own!"
Tang Tian was stunned for three seconds and almost dropped the food in her hand to the floor.
Did she get the golden finger?!
Coming back to her senses, Tang Tian was overjoyed.
With this, wouldn't her family have enough food and drink during a natural disaster?
The system seemed to understand her thoughts, so it immediately replied:
"As long as the host makes good use of this system, it can be achieved!"
"Host, do you need to activate the system now?"
Tang Tian calmed down again. She thought about it and suddenly shook her head. She just asked:
"System, am I the only one who can hear your voice? Can you let the person I choose hear your voice as well?"
System answer:
"As long as the host agrees, everything in this system is based on the host."
Tang Tian was delighted again.
Now we have evidence that can make our family believe it!
…
Just as she was thinking, there was another rustling sound outside the door. Tang Tian immediately noticed that it was the sound of a key opening the door.
Just as I stood up, the door opened. A middle-aged woman in her early fifties, wearing glasses and with her hair tied up, walked in, carrying a bag. Her face was unusually red, as if she had just hurried back.
But when Tang Tian saw her, her nose felt sore and she went up to her and hugged her tightly:
"mom!"
Wei Mingxia didn't have time to exchange pleasantries and quickly asked:
"What happened? After you hung up the phone, I immediately asked for leave and came back..."
"Mom, please sit down first. I have something important to tell you. And I told you in advance that everything I said is true!"
Tang Tian pulled Wei Mingxia, who was still catching her breath, to sit down, and started telling her about the natural disaster and the end of the world in her previous life, as well as her own rebirth.
Wei Mingxia didn't interrupt the whole time, but the more she listened, the tighter her eyebrows furrowed, and there was a look of disbelief on her face.
But before she could open her mouth, Tang Tian knew she didn't believe it, so she added another sentence, asking Wei Mingxia to be a member and agree that she could also connect to the system.
The next second, accompanied by several beeps, the system's electronic voice rang out:
"Ms. Wei Mingxia has been certified as a member of the host and can use the system together with the host!"
Wei Mingxia's expression suddenly became interesting. She stood up again in shock and even screamed.
Tang Tian pulled her to sit again and comforted her:
"Mom, don't worry, this is not dangerous. Now you should believe that what I said is true, right?"
But as a materialist, Wei Mingxia was still a little skeptical. She shouldn't have believed such a bizarre thing, but this year's weather was indeed extremely abnormal.
It has clearly passed the beginning of winter, but the temperature in Spring City is still over 30 degrees Celsius, and we even need to turn on the air conditioner. It has been on the hot searches until now.
When Tang Tian's family faced this incident at the time, they quickly put it behind them like most people, but when they think about it now, it's really terrifying.
Wei Mingxia wanted to continue asking, but someone else opened the door - Tang Yi came back a step too late.
Tang Yi is about a year older than Tang Tian, but she has an oval face and peach blossom eyes, and her newly permed honey tea-colored wavy hair makes her look very mature and elegant.
Just seeing that both of them were there, she couldn't help but frown and ask:
"Tiantian, what's the hurry? Why did you call mom back?"
Without even asking her to change her shoes, Tang Tian directly pulled the former over, explained everything again, and connected the system in the same way.
The system also made a sound, but Tang Yi wasn't as surprised as Wei Mingxia. Instead, she stood up and walked around the room. As the anchor, she was more convinced that this was a prank.
Tang Tian said helplessly:
"Sister, stop shaking. After connecting, the system's voice appears in my mind. Today's technology hasn't developed to this level yet!"
"Besides, I'm not a survivalist, and I don't watch movies like that, so how could I possibly joke about something this serious? Believe me, everything I say is true!"
The system also explains:
"My dear friends, this system is not a technology from Blue Planet. We only chose to bind it because we detected the existence of the best host. This also indirectly proves that the host is telling the truth."
The room immediately fell into deathly silence.
They seemed to finally believe it, and finally Wei Mingxia slowly spoke, her voice trembling slightly as she asked:
"Since such a serious natural disaster is about to happen, doesn't the country have any preparation?"
Hearing this question, Tang Tian couldn't help but sigh.
The early stages of this extreme cold were too deceptive, and by the time we came to our senses, it was already too late.
Although there were news reports before that a polar vortex was detected moving north and south, which might bring extreme low temperatures, unfortunately, at that time, most ordinary people who were busy with their lives did not take it seriously.
Thinking of this, she said firmly:
"Mom, sister, at least we must be prepared. We don't have much time left. I think it's time for us to start!"
