Chereads / Hybrid System In Apocalyptic World / Chapter 2 - Preparation

Chapter 2 - Preparation

After my meeting with the WB, they agree to lend me a huge amount of money with a condition that I have to pay them back next month. Wow, what a bastard, aren't they? Lend big money, pay extra.

I use the money that I got to buy a lot of things to prepare for the zombie apocalypse that will happen next month, the same month they want me to pay back. I buy a lot of tin food because they last longer than normal food, are easy to store, and is cheaper. When I request the order, they were shocked, and some of them didn't believe it. Well, you're wrong, motherf*cker!

Other than that, I also buy a few weapons to protect myself against zombies. I bought machetes, military knives, crowbars, and a katana, this thing is so f*cking expensive and limited making me only allowed to buy one, etc. I want to buy firearms too but those items are illegal in this country, so I have to buy them through a black market where a lot of illegal things are sold here such as firearms, bombs, and even humans. I don't any woman, yet.

I focus on things like pistols, submachine guns, and a sniper with a lot of accessories that are needed. I also manage to get bombs, flashbangs, and smoke bombs. On the black market, no one knows your identity, so you don't have to worry about being caught by the police.

I still have a lot of money left and with that money, I buy a two floors house on the top of the mountain that cost me like millions of dollars. I plan to use the house as a basement but I'm not gonna use it. I'll only use it in case of emergency. I store my food and weapons here and set up a bunch of traps all around the mountain to prevent zombies or humans from entering.

I know damn well that what I'm doing is illegal and should be in jail right now. But, with the power of money, everything is kept secret. Every time police officers comes to investigate, I bribe them and told them to keep quiet. They all accept it without hesitation. Hihihi, humans are already broken, why should I care?

With the money left, I make sure that the electricity and water will keep running even after the apocalypse happen. I have my own way on how to do that. The secret is not to be shared, right?

I make all of the preparations with the help of my new system assistant named IRIS. She told me what to do, what don't do, and everything. I can do all that by myself too but to be safer, I asked for her guidance. I don't want the same thing to happen to me, again.

All of this preparation took me a month to complete. I sit on the sofa in the living room of my new house. I ask her, IRIS, when will the 'event' happen?

[It will happen tomorrow morning, exactly at 9 am. But, before it happens, there will be another thing an hour before the 'event'.] ...Wait, there'll be another thing before it? What's that? This is not like my previous life. And what is that? I ask her.

"[No idea. I don't have enough data to get the answer but according to my calculation, something really big going to happen.] What the hell? She doesn't know and it's something big!? What is it!? I never see something like this happen in my previous life. Wait... Is it because of my return that triggers this event that'll happen? I don't know about that!

IRIS, what should I do? [I recommend you to be calm and witness it happen, master. You know what to do when that happens, master.] It makes me more confused! Maybe I should just let it happen and see what'll happen. I go to sleep until tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning, I was woken up by an alarm coming from IRIS. "Ughh, what is it?" I'm still sleepy and not fully aware of my surrounding. [Master, it is time.] "Ugh, uhm, hmm? What!? Right now!?" I quickly get up from the bed and go to the window and look outside.

There's nothing outside. "Are you kidding me? I see nothing." I say while in disbelief. [Look up, master.] I look up and, what the hell!? Why is there a meteor coming at such a high speed!? "Is this what you mean, Iris!?" [Yes, master.]

I'll die even before the apocalypse begins! I don't want that! I was just having my second life and this is how I'm gonna die!? CURSE YOU, GOD!!! You're doing nothing but disaster to me!

Why do I have to go through death, twice? The meteor is getting closer every second but I notice that it also getting smaller? A minute ago it was so huge and now it is just the size of a megalodon.

I can feel its heat and it's getting hotter the closer it gets. I have to take off my shirt to reduce the heat but it doesn't help. My body is sweating profusely, it's like I was just getting out of the water. My body is wet like crazy right now.

I look below and people are panicking and running without knowing where to go. [Any second now. 3... 2... ] She counts down the moment before the meteor falls. [...1.]

*BOOOOOM!!!* The impact and sound it makes when it crashes are wild! I have to close my window and crouch down to protect myself from the debris scattered all around the place. I can feel an earthquake coming from it. Also, the sounds it makes can cause deaf if you not covering your ears.

When everything is calm down a bit, I get up and open the window again. Ah, it's broken. The glass of the windows is broken. So, I don't need to open it.

I look down and see a meteorite the size of a one-floor building below, in the middle of the road, and it lets out steam. Everyone who is not damaged by the meteorite is coming closer to see what is actually happening.

Suddenly, the meteorite releases gas from the hole and lets the people inhale it. I quickly grab a gas mask to cover my face from the gas since my windows are broken.

Slowly, I see each of them fall to the ground. But, just a minute after that, they wake up and act crazy. They act... like a zombie.
