Chapter 1: Rebirth in the End of the World
"Ms. Jiang, once you confirm that there are no problems with the contract, you can sign it."
The dusty memories unfolded like a real 3D projection, the chaotic consciousness was awakened, and Jiang Si's eyes became sharp.
Wasn't she dead? How could she... return to the real estate agency before the apocalypse?
The flattering real estate agent, the impatient homeowner, the drinking water on the table...
Jiang Si picked up the Nongfu Spring and took a big gulp. It was sweet and refreshing.
The feeling of nourishing the lungs is too real!
Jiang Si gulped down the drink, feeling completely satisfied. His eyes fell on the wall clock - May 1, 2033.
Only then did she finally dare to believe that she was reborn.
One month before the end of the world, she used her 3 million savings to buy a house of over 100 square meters in the suburbs of City S.
The house had just been bought and there was no time to decorate it or buy furniture when a power outage of unknown cause suddenly struck the world.
Schools were closed, factories stopped production, communications were interrupted, supermarket supplies were looted, and everyone's life rhythm was disrupted.
Everyone thought that if they could just hold on for a few days and wait for government assistance, they would be able to return to normal.
Unexpectedly, the power system could not be repaired for a long time.
Basic living conditions could not be met, and a large number of people began to flee the city.
Jiang Si reacted quickly. When there was not much food at home, he packed his equipment and rode his bike back to his hometown.
It took her a whole month to ride on a two-hour flight.
I thought I could live safely after returning to my hometown, but greater dangers followed.
From June to the end of August, the temperature remained high without a drop of rain. The temperature reached an all-time high of 50 degrees Celsius, and later 60 and 70 degrees Celsius. The rivers dried up rapidly.
Everyone realized later that the end of the world had come. When they wanted to stockpile resources to save themselves, there was no way to go out. The solar radiation was so strong that it could corrode the skin.
Jiang Si was thankful that his family still had some food stored and could last another year, but suddenly, they suffered a devastating disaster.
A blinding sandstorm swept through their home, destroying the roof, the food, and even their grandmother.
Before the family had time to grieve, heavy rain and a tsunami came, and she lost her grandfather again.
The pain and disasters seem to have no end: insect plagues, snake infestations, flu, plague, viruses, zombies, earthquakes, mutated creatures... In order to plunder survival resources, the struggle between the same kind is more foul-smelling than rotten meat.
In order to save her and her mother, her father lured away the zombies and never came back.
My mother couldn't bear the successive blows, suffered from depression, and committed suicide.
All relatives are dead, leaving only the words "live well" for Jiang Si.
Jiang Si endured for ten years, but his heart was dug out alive by the mutants.
After digesting the fact of his rebirth, Jiang Si clenched his fists and stood up suddenly.
In this life, she will never let her family make the same mistake again.
The real estate agent was startled by her, "Ms. Jiang, what are you doing...?"
Jiang Si said without hesitation, "Sorry, I won't buy the house."
The house she bought for three million now will be worthless in a month.
The important thing to do now is to use the funds at hand to stockpile various supplies and buy various survival equipment.
The duck in his mouth flew away. The real estate agent did not give up and chased after him, saying: "It is really a rare opportunity to buy a house like this with full payment. If the owner had not wanted to move to a house in the school district, we would not have been able to pick up this bargain. Miss Jiang, don't miss this opportunity!"
Jiang Si shook his head: "There's an emergency at home, I really can't buy it."
The real estate agent's expression changed instantly.
"You bitch, why are you looking at houses when you don't have money? Are you kidding me?"
After experiencing the apocalypse for ten years, she had killed countless people and her bones were already tainted with violence.
If you mess with her, it's either you die or I live.
Jiang Si's cold gaze was like a bloody knife. His moves were as fast as lightning. In an instant, he grabbed his neck with one hand and kicked over his knee with a "click".
"You should be thankful that we live in a society ruled by law."
The real estate agent was forced to her knees on the ground, tears streaming down her face from the pain. She immediately gave in and said, "Sister, sister, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I hurt your hand and my heart aches too—"
Jiang Si's terrifying eyes were particularly terrifying. He threw him to the ground with one hand and said, "Get out!"
The real estate agent's scalp tingled, and he got up and ran away.
It was just bad luck for him to meet such a ruthless guy, so how could he dare to call the police?
The phone suddenly rang, and the hostility in Jiang Si's eyes disappeared.
"Hey, Sisi? Have you eaten?"
Hearing Jiang Linhai's familiar voice, Jiang Si thought she could hold back her tears, but she couldn't help crying, "Dad——!"
Jiang Linhai asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Who bullied you? Daddy will go and settle the score with him!"
Hearing Jiang Linhai's powerful voice, Jiang Si chuckled again.
It’s great that dad is still here. This is the meaning of rebirth.
Jiang Linhai was confused, and Jiang Si said in an unusually serious tone, "Dad, tell Grandpa, Grandma, and Mom not to go far away for the time being. I'll be back in a week and I have something important to tell you."
Jiang Linhai was surprised: "What can't be said over the phone?"
"It's not that I can't tell you, but even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me. So just listen to me for now and tell them to stop running around. I'll explain when I get home. I'll also send you a plan for the house renovation. You can hire someone to work overtime. Even if it costs several times more, you have to have it finished before the first of next month!"
"Why would we renovate the house for no reason? Our home is fine now!"
"Dad, listen to me. I won't hurt you. You must do as I say."
In their previous life, because their family had food and water, they were almost killed by people from the same village who rushed in.
In addition to raising the protective walls, the roof also needs to be reinforced and covered with thick insulation boards, ditches should be dug around the house for drainage, moisture-proof mats and drainage pipes should be laid in the house, the foundation should be raised, and all the doors and windows should be replaced.
Jiang Si has always had her own ideas since she was a child. Jiang Linhai was confident that she would not act recklessly. Although he felt it was strange, he still agreed.
Back at the rental house, Jiang Si turned on the computer, provided ideas, asked a designer to draw the renovation drawings, sent them to Jiang Linhai, and began to make a list of materials that needed to be purchased.
Medicine is one of the most precious resources in the end times, so you have to stock up as much as you can.
Commonly used cold medicine, fever reducers, stomach medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, anti-allergic drugs, diarrhea medicine, blood pressure medicine, antibiotics, headache medicine, cephalosporin, heart-saving pills, insulin, glucose, thermometer, saline solution, iodine...
Jiang Siguang's Taobao shopping cart has accumulated more than 100 kinds of medicine that he wants to buy.
No matter how much you buy, you can’t take it away when the tsunami comes.
Jiang Sigang sighed, "It would be nice if there was a space."
His chest suddenly lit up, and Jiang Si appeared in a white space the size of an acre.
The energy stone that the psychic wanted to dig out was floating right above.
Jiang Si was shocked and used her consciousness to investigate. No wonder the psychics couldn't dig out the energy stone from her body. It turned out that she had absorbed it long ago and turned it into her unique spatial ability.
The surprise came too quickly. With the space, she could go directly to the wholesale market to stock up on goods in large quantities, and she didn't have to worry about mailing too many things home and being coveted by others!
