Chapter Thirty-Three: Memories of the Fake Heiress
There is a refuge room hidden in the basement of the Mu family's main house. It was probably secretly built by the Mu family's ancestors who had experienced the war.
In their past life, they survived the extreme cold in a shelter, and the whole family lived on intact.
They eked out a living in the main house for over ten days, quickly running out of all the food they could find. They had no choice but to collect the valuables in the house and trade them for supplies.
At that time, some people still believed that the apocalypse was only temporary and that everything would be restored once the government intervened. So some people went to wealthy areas to do "business," exchanging supplies for valuable items from before the apocalypse, such as antiques, jade, gold jewelry, etc., hoping to get rich by relying on these after order was restored.
It was around that time that Mu Xiaoxiao obtained the other blood jade bracelet from Mu Qingrong's room.
She remembered that her adoptive mother, Ou Mingxin, had said before that it was something passed down from her great-grandmother, and since it was something she had "snatched" from Mu Qingyu and Mu Qingrong, she had always worn it and had not used it to exchange for supplies.
Later, she fell and lost her baby, and blood was everywhere... The blood stained the blood jade bracelet, and she then discovered that there was a misty space inside the bracelet.
Why is it described as misty? Because Mu Xiaoxiao can't sense how big this space is, unlike spatial ability users who can clearly know the size of their own space.
She couldn't enter this space either, which wasn't surprising; those with spatial abilities also couldn't enter their own spaces.
But this space seemed like a bottomless pit; Mu Xiaoxiao could put a lot of things in it, and she could also take them out.
In addition, those spatial ability users can develop spatial-based additional abilities such as spatial blades and teleportation through training or upgrades, which her space cannot do.
However, the most amazing thing about the Blood Jade Bracelet's space is that it can hold a huge amount of things. Unlike space-type abilities, which have volume limitations and can only be increased through upgrades, other abilities do not have such limitations.
Originally, even if Mu Xiaoxiao obtained the spatial storage, she would have no supplies to store. However, a month after the apocalypse, she happened to hitch a ride on a military vehicle and arrived at Mu Xiangyuan with Huo Siyu.
Mu Xiangyuan did not activate the mechanical locks at the time, and the main control equipment that could open the electronic locks was still there, but it didn't matter. Once the power went out, those electronic locks would be useless.
The army was planning to come here to resupply, and surprisingly, everything in the warehouse was still there, untouched by looting.
After the apocalypse, it took people a long time to accept the fact that the apocalypse had arrived. People preferred to shop at supermarkets and large markets for free, but warehouses in the suburbs were often overlooked.
However, it's not easy for ordinary people to cross the city to get here. Mu Xiaoxiao was fortunate to have the help of the army.
Later, while the army was loading supplies onto trucks and no one was paying attention to her and Huo Siyu, she and Huo Siyu picked the locks together and emptied most of Muxiangyuan's warehouse.
Fearing discovery by the army, she quickly grabbed Huo Siyu and fled once she had taken most of what she wanted.
With supplies in hand, she felt incredibly confident. On their way back to the Mu family's main residence, she and Huo Siyu encountered several people who were trapped because they hadn't found any supplies and were too hungry. Two of them were people with superpowers.
Mu Xiaoxiao rescued them and brought them all back to the Mu residence. These people were the initial members of Mu Xiaoxiao's later team.
Thanks to the supplies in Mu Xiaoxiao's spatial storage, everyone survived another month. At this time, the zombies began to upgrade, becoming much stronger. The number of zombies around them increased, while the number of survivors dwindled.
The Mu residence was now in grave danger. It was then that Mu Xiaoxiao decided to find a safer place. Only then did the group leave the Mu residence.
In this life, Mu Xiaoxiao was reborn three days before the apocalypse. Originally, her rebirth meant she was a chosen one, someone who had the upper hand. She could have done even better than in her previous life! She could have stockpiled even more resources.
But! She lost the Blood Jade Bracelet! Her most important possession, her greatest reliance after the apocalypse!
Mu Qingyu! She must have been reborn too!
Mu Xiaoxiao thought bitterly. All signs indicated that Mu Qingyu in this life was completely different from Mu Qingyu in the previous life!
A month ago, Mu Qingyu first took away her blood jade bracelet, and then took away Mu Xiangyuan, which contained a lot of supplies, as well as money!
At the same time, Mu Qingrong, who possessed another blood jade bracelet, also disappeared!
Along with Mu Qingrong, all of Mu Qingrong's belongings and all the items in the main house also disappeared—except for the underground shelter.
The most likely explanation is that Mu Qingyu didn't spend the first day of the apocalypse in the main house in her previous life, so she didn't know about the existence of the shelter.
So the first thing Mu Xiaoxiao did after returning was to look for Mu Qingyu!
Her husband and Huo Siyu braved the torrential rain to run to Muxiang Garden, hoping to find Mu Qingyu there and retrieve the Blood Jade Bracelet, and also to see if the supplies there were still there and if they could find a way to get them.
Upon arrival, we discovered that all the mechanical locks that hadn't been used in our previous lives were now in use. Almost every warehouse was locked with mechanical locks. Although they could be broken open, it would be extremely labor-intensive and time-consuming.
She not only has no one to use right now, but what she lacks most is time.
That day, Mu Xiaoxiao returned empty-handed, but she became more and more certain that Mu Qingyu must have been reborn just like her!
While searching for Mu Qingyu and raising money, Mu Xiaoxiao also discovered a cruel truth—her strength was simply too small!
In the past, she was a pampered young lady who had no economic control at home and relied entirely on her parents for support. Even her parents had to rely on her grandfather—the old man who had always been cold and unfriendly to her since childhood—for support.
Before the apocalypse, her connections were all concentrated among other wealthy young men and women. Like her, they lacked economic control within their families and had no business connections.
Even if Mu Xiaoxiao regrets now that she spent all her time on those useless things, it's too late. She only has two days left!
So she worked through the night to persuade her parents to raise money and buy expensive supplies.
Originally, no one believed in doomsday prophecies. But this time, she was fortunate to have Mu Qingyu and Mu Qingrong's help.
Mu Qingrong's disappearance is too bizarre. He vanished and the main house was empty, yet no one noticed. What else could it be but bizarre?
Although everyone in the Mu family believed that Mu Qingrong had stolen the house when she left, and the whole family was furious, no one could explain the disappearance of the items! They all chose to swallow their anger for now and settle the score later, making a long-term plan.
It was because of this incident that Mu Xiaoxiao's doomsday prophecy was able to move Mu Xiangnan and Ou Mingxin, who doted on her, to give her money.
