Chapter 1 The Beginning: Picking Up a Blushing Male Student
[Within ten days, people will successively develop fevers. After ten days, the temperature will suddenly drop, accompanied by a globally powerful wind that lasts for an entire day. Then, a fog will appear, from which many monsters will emerge.]
A completely unrelated "apocalyptic" warning post suddenly appeared on the largest forum on the Third Continent.
2L [At least make it believable! This is the 33rd "doomsday prophecy" I've seen, and it's the most perfunctory one I've ever come across.]
3L [The apocalypse is great! I've wanted to die for ages. In my next life, I don't want to be a slum dweller on the Third Continent; I want to be a dog on the First Continent.]
4L [If the apocalypse really comes, I'm going to blow up all the rich people in Zone 1 of the Third Continent!]
5L [Are you crazy? If you're so capable, go bomb the rich people on the other two continents. Do poor people only take their anger out on other poor people?]
6L [May God protect me, I didn't intentionally click on this post, may disaster be gone, go away!]
[...]
Shanran glanced at the replies, then closed the page. Seeing a garbage truck by the roadside, she threw the spare phone into it.
Starting yesterday, many people suddenly developed a fever, with their body temperature soaring to 41 degrees Celsius. People with fevers fainted without warning, perhaps while walking on the street.
Today is the second day, and another group of people have developed fevers, disrupting the lives and production rhythms of people across the mainland, which is fatal for some.
The world is in chaos, especially the third continent where Shan Ran lives. It is the most backward and poorest continent, with numerous slums and a persistently high unemployment rate. After the riots broke out, there were also the most people taking advantage of the chaos and those who wanted to "buy for free".
The Third Continent has a total of 5 districts. Shanran lives in District 1. A week ago, she and a group of classmates and teachers came to Yeffi University in District 4 to participate in a competition due to the inter-school competition.
Just a week ago, after Shanran boarded the plane in Zone 4, she began to receive some inexplicable memories intermittently, feeling dazed as the memories poured into her brain like needles.
Until today, she has finally become fully conscious.
It turns out she transmigrated into a post-apocalyptic restricted novel titled "The Apocalypse Arrives, My Story with 365 Mugen," becoming a supporting female character who completely lost her self-awareness and lived her entire life inside the book.
She was initially drawn in by the book's shameless title, so she read through it one by one, only to find herself transmigrated before the book was finished. Perhaps due to the passage of time, her memories of the real world were somewhat hazy. On the contrary, the death and suffering of her previous life were so real that she still felt a burning hatred when she thought about them.
Within ten days, people with fever will fall into a coma, lasting anywhere from three or four days to six or seven days. Upon waking, they will gain supernatural abilities.
Ten days later, the things described in Shan Ran's post will happen.
Strong winds, fog, monsters.
In the previous life, people called these suddenly appearing monsters "nightmare beasts".
The world has fallen.
But this also became an opportunity for many people, especially the people of the Third Continent who had always been considered inferior.
The world order is being reshaped.
However, half of the people still lack superpowers, and Shan Ran, who was unlucky enough to be one of them in her previous life, was one of them.
To be precise, she simply hadn't developed her superpowers, and the way she did develop them was very much in line with restricted fiction—
After exchanging bodies with a superhuman, she will gain their superhuman abilities.
The female protagonist of this book is named Rong Shuyao. She has a sweet appearance and a purifying, light-based superpower. She can not only heal physical wounds but also purify the pollution caused by superpower users consuming the crystal cores of nightmare beasts to upgrade their abilities. Healing requires physical contact with the recipient; the larger the contact area, the higher the healing efficiency.
Yes, that's very restrictive.
However, Shan Ran is just a supporting character, so why is her ability so...? (This is a restricted text.)
Moreover, with this setup, wouldn't she be able to possess an unlimited number of superpowers?
It should be noted that most people only have one superpower after waking up, only a few have dual superpowers, and three superpowers are extremely rare. As long as these people do not die young, they will all become well-known strongmen.
Perhaps because the character's premise was too overpowered, the author killed off this supporting character.
In her previous life, Shan Ran's special abilities were exposed, and she was quickly killed by the protagonist group.
Any ambitious person who cannot bring someone with such extraordinary abilities under their command will nip them in the bud.
——————
It's the second day since I developed a fever.
In fact, Shan Ran's body temperature was not normal; she had a low-grade fever that hovered between 37 and 38 degrees Celsius. She did not faint, so in her previous life, she did not take the medicine seriously.
At this time, the policy issued by the executives of the three continents was to centrally isolate people with fever, fearing the spread of an unknown virus.
In her previous life, Shan Ran thought it was just a pandemic and that things would get better after a while, so she stayed obediently in the hotel.
Unexpectedly, as more and more people developed fevers and some gradually woke up and gained superpowers, the world became increasingly chaotic and the road home became increasingly difficult.
After the monster appeared, she, along with her teachers and students, found a bus and embarked on their journey home.
Fortunately, Shan Ran had practiced fighting and combat since childhood and had some ability to protect himself. After a thrilling month, with most of his men dead or injured, he finally returned to Zone 1.
After a long and tiring journey, Shan Ran returned to her villa and found it had changed drastically.
There were quite a few people inside the villa. Rong Shuyao led the original main characters and took over her house.
Shan Ran and Rong Shuyao are classmates. Shan Ran usually keeps to herself, while the sweet and sunny Rong Shuyao is persistent in getting close to her and is considered one of the "friends" she has the most contact with at school.
As the apocalypse arrives, the residential area where Rong Shuyao lives is shrouded in a fog, and a large number of ferocious beasts appear.
They rushed into the crowd, and many residents were attacked and killed before they could react.
After escaping, Rong Shuyao met up with several people she was close to, and together they searched for a safe place to live, eventually arriving at the villa area where Shan Ran lived.
Since Shanran wasn't home, they broke the glass and moved in.
There were no Misty Clan members nearby, and the villa area was spacious and large, with plenty of Shan Ran's previous stockpiles inside. So they settled here with peace of mind, making it the protagonist group's early camp.

After regaining consciousness, Shan Ran prepared to go home.
She ordered an SUV and had it driven directly to the hotel, and then rented a bus.
She drove the SUV herself, while the bus was driven by the same driver from her previous life who didn't have any special abilities.
It took quite a bit of persuasion to convince the teachers and students in Zone 1 to go back, but thankfully they all agreed in the end.
Although I don't have much contact with them in this life, we went through thick and thin together for more than a month in the previous life, which can be considered as a life-and-death friendship across lifetimes.
After watching the last student with a fever being carried onto the bus, Shan Ran breathed a sigh of relief and waved goodbye to them.
After all that trouble, it was already 7 p.m.
The hotel where Shanran is staying is right next to the school, and there are more than one university around. There is a street full of restaurants and shopping centers nearby. Usually, there is traffic congestion around this time, and it is very lively with people coming and going.
District 4 is the second to last ranked district; areas with more people are generally safer.
The worst district, District 5, is the landfill of the Second and First Continents. Large quantities of garbage are compressed and transported specifically to District 5 for processing. It has the most slums and the most polluted land. Therefore, even in populated areas, street robberies can still occur.
Since yesterday, there have been far fewer people going out, and the streets are rather deserted.
As Shanran waited for her car at the hotel entrance, a shadow fell under the normally bright streetlights as she looked down at her phone.
She looked up and saw a boy standing in front of her.
The other person was wearing a simple white T-shirt and dark straight-leg jeans. He was very tall and slender, with neat, smooth black hair, a high nose bridge, and round eyes that gave him a well-behaved look. There was a red mole at the corner of his eye, which made him appear harmless overall.
He has a clean and refreshing appearance, and the backlighting slightly blurs his outstanding features.
Seeing Shan Ran staring blankly at him, the other person's face grew redder and redder. He smiled shyly and raised his hand to greet her.
"You howl..."
He had barely begun to speak, only managing to utter half a syllable of "good," when the boy rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground.
Yamaran:......?
She stood frozen in place for a moment, holding her phone, before looking down to check on the other person's situation.
That's really unlucky. The direction he fell was right next to a telephone pole, and his head hit it, causing him to bleed profusely.
Shanran squatted down to check on him and found that he had fainted due to a fever.
Many people stay home because they are worried about suddenly fainting or getting injured. But this person fainted as soon as he walked up to her.
If it weren't for the special circumstances, Shan Ran would have no doubt that this was a staged accident.
Shan Ran stared at him for a while and remembered that he was a student working part-time at the coffee shop across from the hotel. A few days ago, when he went to buy coffee, he had just received the memories and his head was throbbing. He accidentally spilled all the coffee on the other person. He even bought him a new set of clothes to compensate him.
After thinking for a moment, Shanran walked to the coffee shop across the street, where there was only one waiter sitting in a recliner.
After inquiring, it was learned that the boy was an orphan from a slum and lived on scholarships and part-time jobs. He usually lived at the school, but now more and more people are getting fevers and the school has been closed.
After finding out that the boy's name was Meng Xinye, Shan Ran went out and returned to her original spot.
Meng Xin also...
Is it Meng Xin?
Shan Ran's eyes lit up; the person on the ground was a big shot who had appeared in the book.
In the original book, Meng Xin also possessed water-based and agility-based superpowers, making him a rare dual-power user. He later established his own base.
In this second life, a future tycoon collapses in front of me.
Just then, the car that Shanran had booked arrived.
A dark-skinned driver got out of the car, saw Meng Xinye bleeding and unconscious on the ground, and remained silent for a moment.
"These past two days, many people on the street have been like this."
Shan Ran glanced at her driver and asked, "Then, driver, do you still dare to drive out?"
The driver sighed helplessly, "I still need to eat, and the pay has doubled these past few days. I can only pray to God that I don't pass out halfway through the journey."
After handing over the car details, the mechanic leisurely walked back.
After hesitating for a while, Shanran decided to bring Mengxin home as well.
She first went to a nearby pharmacy to buy the necessary items, then gave Meng Xinye's injuries a quick treatment, bandaging his head before carrying him into the car and securing him with a seatbelt.
After finishing these tasks, Shanran muttered something.
Don't trigger any melodramatic plot points like picking up random men on the street.
A note from the author:
----------------------
Let me explain the setting to my dear readers. This book is based on a "restricted" setting. If the blood were to be exchanged, it would be a "vampire story" [eating melon emoji].
There was a section about "dual cultivation" that was cut because the editor asked me to remove it due to concerns about various potential problems.
The background is entirely fictional and doesn't need to be verified. Thank you for watching, my lovely angels and cuties! [Sprinkling flowers][Sprinkling flowers][Sprinkling flowers]

Chi Tingyi entered the Sentinel World and became an ordinary guide with an ordinary little bird spirit body.
In this world, the Sentinels and Guides are adversaries, each vying for dominance and refusing to yield, thus creating a balance of power between them.
After carefully examining her body, Chi Tingyi discovered—oh wow, she also had a Sentinel's spirit body, which was a beautiful little fox.
At the same time, she also discovered why her level had remained stagnant for so many years.
She must train and strengthen the sentinel's fox spirit body in order to advance the guide's level.
vice versa.
Given the poor relationship between the sentries here, if her physical condition were discovered, she would either be abandoned by both sides or be fought over by both sides for research.
Either perish in silence, or grow stronger in silence.
Chi Tingyi chose to become stronger.
On weekdays, she is a diligent, gentle, and kind ordinary guide who occasionally also hosts her teammates.
On her days off, she is a member of the ruthless and efficient temporary sentinel team. If there is pollution, she will hide her identity and ask her colleagues to purify it.
She thought that life would continue without any major incidents.
But one day, the calm and reserved wolf king gazed at her quietly and asked, "Miss Guide, haven't we met somewhere before?"
The dark, cold snake flicked its tongue, its eyes filled with fascination, "Your scent is so familiar."
The passionate and unrestrained Vermilion Bird wrapped her in its wings and said, "Please don't go. I love you no matter what you look like."
There's also the elegant white tiger, the deep-sea behemoth, the sky overlord...
Even her immediate superior, that mysterious and taciturn century-old green bamboo, smiled and said to her, "Tingyi, you don't want your secret relationship with the spy to be discovered, do you?"
Chi Tingyi:........
What do you want?
"I only want you."
