Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Restart your life

G's ex-girlfriend, whom he hadn't contacted for many years, suddenly called and wanted to renew his relationship with Lu Feng.

The reason is that he won a multi-million dollar jackpot last month.

Since then, Lu Feng, who usually had no contact with anyone except mobile customer service and phone bills, suddenly became busy.

The calls came one after another, including some from elementary school classmates that he didn't even remember.

Lu Feng sneered after hanging up the phone. In his previous life, it was because of White Lotus's betrayal that he died on the street.

And how could he make the same mistake again after being reborn in this life.

Lu Feng raised his head and glanced at the apartment he rented. It was still as simple as in his previous life, with simple decoration, cheap security doors, and a small open-air balcony.

The only advantage is that there is a hill behind the balcony, and there are many small wild animals in it.

The distance from the balcony to the back mountain is just over one meter high.

It was precisely because of this advantage in his previous life that Lu Feng was able to survive by trapping and hunting for two years in the last days when resources were scarce, until he was murdered by White Lotus Pan Jing.

"Bang...bang...bang..."

While Lu Feng was deep in thought, a rhythmic crash suddenly came from the next door.

The discordant voices of men and women interrupted his thoughts, but also reminded him that this place was not suitable for survival in the coming apocalypse. He needed a stronger and safer place to survive the pre-apocalypse smoothly.

Lu Feng relied on the memory of his previous life to buy lottery tickets, so now he has a certain amount of financial resources. In the apocalypse, money is basically worse than waste paper, but now it is the well-deserved source of all evil, oh no! It means asking no one for anything.

Thinking of it, Lu Feng arrived at the suburbs of the city. This was a group of villas and a legendary wealthy area.

"I want the villa near the river!"

Lu Feng directly threw out his bank card worth tens of millions of dollars, and he was so happy that those people looked at the low sales and almost made him kneel down.

There are still fifteen days before the end of the world. After fifteen days, the whole world will fall into heavy rain for several consecutive days. When the heavy rain ends, all creatures in the world will mutate. Among them, the largest group of mutated creatures is called Zombies.

Zombies also appear when the rainstorm ends. They may be in small groups or in groups of thousands. If you want to survive in such a terrifying environment, ordinary buildings will definitely not work, so the villa still needs to be renovated.

Lu Feng first strengthened the exterior structure of the villa. The walls, doors and windows were all made of expensive alloys. In the end of the world, it could not only defend against zombies but also withstand high temperatures. The most important thing was that it was strong. Even small blasts could not destroy the walls.

The reinforcement of external walls cannot be careless, and using geographical location is also an indispensable rule of survival in the last days.

This is why Lu Feng chose this villa on the riverside. It is surrounded by water on three sides and is like a mini peninsula. In this way, he only needs to build a wall in front of the villa to build a fortification.

The remaining space is the safe front yard and backyard, leaving a large buffer area, which can be easily dealt with whether it is defense or retreat.

A swimming pool and a small dock can also be built around the water, so that not only can you relax and exercise in your spare time, but it can also be used as an escape route in case of emergencies.

Moreover, water is also a clean energy source. Energy is more precious than gold in the apocalypse, especially electricity. In his previous life, Lu Feng had seen many people die in the darkness of the apocalypse.

Because the dark shadow of the apocalypse was too deep, Lu Feng directly bought 100 small hydroelectric generators and 10 large diesel generators. To be on the safe side, he also bought 50 high-power batteries for backup.

After the electricity was connected, Lu Feng visited almost all gas stations in the city, just to fill up his two newly built oil storage tanks. Gasoline and diesel are also indispensable resources for survival in the apocalypse.

It's just that buying so many flammable and explosive materials privately will definitely attract attention, so he bought them from different gas stations. Even so, he still had to give big gift packages to some functional departments.

Anyway, the role of money in the apocalypse is almost zero, and it is not even as practical as paper and bricks. Therefore, Lu Feng is not distressed. He only tells the outside world that he has won the lottery and will go out on a private yacht.

Lu Feng left gracefully in the envious, jealous and hateful eyes of others, leaving only a group of cursing voices behind him, such as the damn nouveau riche, the rich second generation who have money to burn, etc.

Lu Feng would not pay attention to these boring voices. He believed that people who were jealous of others would basically not survive in the end of the world, and even if they could survive, the chance of meeting them would be very slim.

All that's left is to purchase some electronic equipment. In the apocalypse, there are no leisure activities such as traveling and shopping in normal society.

Electronic devices are the best way to relieve boredom. In his previous life, when he was fighting for scraps of money, he had the opportunity to play these. In order to make up for the lack of childhood and adulthood, he bought all the best-selling game consoles and game brands.

When I passed by xx House, I packed all the clothes. In line with the concept of wealthy people first, the shopping guide almost packed the clothes and sent them over.

Finally, Lu Feng arrived at the largest supermarket in the city. The supplies here were the most important. Food had driven so many people crazy in the apocalypse. Stealing and robbing were no longer trivial. Fighting each other over a steamed bun was commonplace, and some even started to eat the same kind.

Thinking of this, Lu Feng emptied the supermarket warehouse with a wave of his hand. This feat frightened the supermarket manager and almost promised him his life.

Looking at the supermarket manager's eyes, Lu Feng felt a chill. He hurried home and looked at a certain teacher ten times before he regained his composure.

After all the food was loaded into the underground warehouse of the villa, Lu Feng was so tired that he took a long nap. When he woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

Just then the doorbell rang, and through the hidden camera that had been installed long ago, two young girls dressed enchantingly were seen standing outside the door.

Lu Feng immediately became alert. He had been alone in W City since he was a child and had no friends. The few remaining acquaintances were not in this city. The end of the world was only three days away. The supplies in his home were worth more than gold in the end of the world. It is precious. If others see it, it will undoubtedly cause unnecessary trouble.

It is not difficult to guess from the land-style clothes that the two girls are engaged in some kind of body art research. This is a villa complex where it is difficult for outsiders to enter and exit unless someone allows outsiders to come in. And rich people like this, so maybe they knocked on the wrong door. Lu Feng, who knew well that wealth should not be revealed, chose to remain silent, letting the other party think that it would be best if no one in the family left.

As Lu Feng expected, the two girls knocked on the phone for a few minutes before impatiently picking up their phones and sending messages. Lu Feng only heard a few complaints, and after a while a black car drove up. They took it!

Although the two did not continue to quarrel, Lu Feng did not relax his vigilance. Their appearance also reminded Lu Feng that he must not only store supplies but also be accurate with weapons. In his previous life, it was precisely because of the disadvantage of not having the weapons at his disposal that he was in the end of the world. He was too hungry and cold to go out.

Weapons can be used for hunting to satisfy hunger. The meat of animals in the apocalypse is also the only food source that is not contaminated by viruses. However, after the outbreak of the apocalypse, their size has increased dozens of times, so it is difficult to hunt with ordinary tools!

What's more important is that weapons can be used for self-defense. In the end of the world, the most dangerous thing is not only zombies, but sometimes the same kind is more dangerous than zombies.

But the apocalypse hasn't broken out yet, and it's too difficult to get thermal weapons. He can't rob the army or the police station, because he might die on the spot even if the apocalypse hasn't come yet!

Lu Feng's only advantage now is that he has advanced memory. Based on his experience in the apocalypse and the materials he can buy now, he made three short crossbows.

In fact, according to its firing principle, it is more appropriate to call it a slingshot. To be precise, it is a more advanced slingshot, similar to the style of a crossbow.

Since the physical version of the crossbow has become a dangerous weapon that is prohibited from sale, Lu Feng has no choice but to use his homemade one for the time being.

Although the power is not as powerful as a real weapon, Lu Feng actually measured that the shooting distance of a short crossbow is about 20 meters. It is quite lethal to stand on the wall of the front yard of the villa and shoot outward!

Lu Feng is not a bad person. There are no rules in the apocalypse. Living depends on strength. If you want to survive and be a good person, you will die!

After finishing these tasks, Lu Feng looked at the time. It was still the last day before the apocalypse broke out. He went to the bathroom to take a shower, put on clean clothes, and casually cooked some steak for dinner.

In his previous life, Lu Feng couldn't even imagine this kind of food. Not to mention eating it, even smelling it was a luxurious fantasy. But now he has three freezers worth of meat.

After dinner, Lu Feng sat in the living room of a few dozen square meters, opened a selected limited edition game, picked up the controller and started playing.

Lu Feng decided not to go out from today because he wouldn't be able to come back if something happened. Even though there were two off-road vehicles parked in the underground garage of the villa, he didn't have the confidence to be able to race through the streets full of zombies in the apocalypse. The key is to take the risk of infection.

What more could a person want from a life like this, sitting in a fortress-like villa, drinking beer, playing games, and waiting for the end of the world to come?

"Ring ring ring!"

Suddenly, a cell phone ringing interrupted Lu Feng's comfort. He looked at the caller ID on his phone: Pan Jing!

Lu Feng frowned and thought for a while before picking up the phone. Sure enough, the wind blew the fox ten miles away, the mouse cried and the cat had no good intentions. Because Pan Qian was dumped by the scumbag, she wanted to be with Lu Feng again. At this time, she was in front of the apartment where he originally rented. Crying uncontrollably!

Lu Feng said casually: "I'm not at home now, do you have anything to do with me?"

Pan Jing was stunned by the calm tone. She didn't expect that a licking dog who was completely obedient to her and would cling to her even after breaking up would suddenly wake up.

While Pan Jing was stunned, another person's voice came from the other end of the phone. Although the other person restrained himself and lowered his tone, Lu Feng still heard it. What it probably means is, did that kid say where he was? When are you coming back?

"I don't know when I will be free, it could be next week or next year!"

Lu Feng simply answered Pan Jing's question and then hung up the phone. He would definitely get back the grudge he had in his previous life, but not now.

At this moment, the 100-inch LCD TV in the living room is broadcasting the weather report, saying that the skies will be clear in the next few days, which is the best time to go out and play!

But only Lu Feng knew that an unpredictable rainstorm suddenly swept across the world, and the human world fell by surprise in a short period of time.

Today is the day when the apocalypse breaks out. In the morning, Lu Feng comes to the outer wall. The wall is built on the south side of the villa compound. It is almost 6 meters high and 3 meters wide. Steel plates and alloy plates are also installed in the walls.

Such a high-standard wall does not look like a civilian facility, especially the row of barbed wire fences erected around the wall, making the place look more like a prison.

Lu Feng still remembers that the construction workers who built this place were all scornful, as if they didn't know how afraid he was of being robbed, and looked like rich people were afraid of death.

But these people didn't know that even this kind of defensive power was not enough for Lu Feng. It was just that this was the highest level he could build. If it were strengthened, it might really attract others' attention. After all, Lu Feng was also the most beautiful person in the forest. I understand, especially in the coming apocalypse.

With a roar, Lu Feng raised his head. The sky that was clear just now suddenly became thunderous, the wind picked up and the temperature dropped.

Lu Feng knew that the time was almost up, so he casually connected the high-voltage electricity on the barbed wire fence on the wall and closed all the entrances and exits inside and outside the villa.

The torrential rain came as expected. No one had ever seen such a heavy rainstorm. Their vision was blurred and all they could hear in their ears was the sound of rain washing the ground.

Lu Feng stood in front of the window and looked at the city in the distance. Since the villa was located on a relatively high ground, he could almost see most of the city at a glance.

The lights in the city also turned on in the darkness, but soon some floors began to flicker, and some even caught fire or even exploded.

here we go! It is the riot before the outbreak of the end of the world, known in history as the Great Outbreak.

Humans infected by unknown substances in heavy rains were the first to mutate and became zombies. Those who were not infected in the city became the first wave of targets.

The media responded very quickly. They asked everyone not to go out unless necessary, to lock doors and windows, to disinfect immediately if they were attacked, and to call the police and wait for rescue.

However, Lu Feng didn't take it seriously. No one realized the horror of this disaster.

If he could have waited for rescue, he wouldn't have been trapped in the room for so long in his previous life. He didn't wait for rescue until he was finally thrown on the street and eaten alive by zombies.

And the most ignorant thing is disinfection. As far as he knows, no disinfection measures can kill zombie viruses!

The zombie virus spreads through contact, first from residents on the streets, then to hospitals, police stations, government departments, and finally to the entire city falling out of control.

Lu Feng closed the last window and started preparing lunch. With his past life experience, he no longer cared about what was happening outside. After his rebirth, he understood a truth, that the most important thing is to live only for yourself.

The summary is that if you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!
