On the bus heading to the commercial city, a group of young people were chattering away.

"Hey guys, did you see the news? Jiangnan City is going crazy! All the stuff from the Walmart warehouse and the Ali warehouse is gone! They're saying the whole city is about to be emptied out—I've heard even the newspapers in the library are missing!"

"Pfft, that's old news. Listen, the latest is that East Ming Lake in Shencheng is drying up, and the warehouse in the Da Run Dong supermarket is empty too!"

"Whoa! The water from Pengwan Lake in Jiangnan disappeared overnight! What's going on?"

"Who knows? All these lost supplies surely add up to hundreds of billions!"

At this moment, a young man sitting alone by the window in the last row suddenly spoke up, "No, it's probably in the trillions. Going south to Guangcheng and north to Modu, all the large warehouses are losing their goods. They might be worried about causing panic, which is why it hasn't been reported."

The others turned to look at him. He had sharp features and a strong, resolute appearance, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes—he looked so handsome…

"How do you know this if it hasn't been reported?"

Su Chen replied, "I have a friend who was a supervisor at the Dui Fa warehouse in Modu, but he's been fired now."

"Oh, I see. With so much stuff gone, it's no wonder he got fired."

The discussion continued among the group.

"Hey, I heard there have been quite a few earthquakes in the seas lately. In Japan, Fuji Volcano has erupted several times, killing tens of thousands!"

"Of course I've heard! Not just Japan; the equator's been experiencing extreme heat, with temperatures reaching 50 degrees Celsius. Many people have been hospitalized due to heat strokes!"

"Whoa, earthquakes and volcanoes—what if it's the apocalypse!"

"Come on, don't joke around. If it were the end of the world, I'd actually look forward to it… then everyone would be equal."

At that moment, Su Chen, sitting in the back seat, had a profound look in his eyes, as deep as an abyss.

Equal for everyone? Even during the apocalypse, there would never be true equality.

Because he had experienced it himself! He had been reborn from the apocalypse, exactly one month before it hit. He didn't know why, but it was clear that fate had given him a second chance.

With the apocalypse approaching, what's the most important thing?

Resources!

Yet his position was just that of an ordinary delivery man, unlike others with fortunes of hundreds of millions. When the last apocalypse began, he was still out delivering food.

Fortunately, the unique space he awakened in his previous life had also been reborn with him!

A gigantic cubic space, each side measuring ten thousand meters!

This made it incredibly convenient for him to acquire resources at zero cost.

Moreover, the skill he gained in his last life—space jumping—had also been reborn with him! Thanks to this ability, he could teleport within a three-meter radius.

In the previous apocalypse, this skill had allowed him to find supplies in abandoned buildings and escape safely more than once.

Even when chased by mutated beasts, he had once used the space jump skill to leap into a building and evade danger.

Now, he was about to initiate a nationwide operation to procure resources at zero cost! He had drained two freshwater lakes and looted several cities doomed to destruction in the apocalypse, gathering vast amounts of supplies…

Finally, he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Su Chen took out his phone and opened Weibo. The trending topics and reports were all about the strange occurrences and the vanishing supplies of late.

**[Breaking News: The depth of the East African Rift has increased again, reaching five kilometers; the ground fissuring is severe.]**

**[Recent underwater volcanic activity has surged; tsunamis are frequent. Coastal residents should prepare for disasters.]**

**[Japan has experienced a 7.0 magnitude earthquake, and Mount Fuji has erupted once more, causing serious ash pollution in the surrounding area.]**

Su Chen scrolled through the comments and quietly started typing.

"Whoa, this is serious! The apocalypse is here! Everyone, stock up on supplies!"

But just as he clicked send, a prompt came up.

"Looks like the authorities are trying to suppress the public outcry."

Su Chen mumbled to himself, dismissing the matter.

Recently, due to severe natural disasters and extreme weather, many apocalyptic statements had surfaced.

To avoid causing panic, the government had simply suppressed these comments.

Did they know the apocalypse was coming?

**[Currently, the earth is experiencing severe geological activity, which will result in localized natural disasters. Please take precautions. Overall, the situation is under control and will not disrupt daily life. Please do not panic excessively.]**

Su Chen scoffed at his phone.

Just as he was about to take a short nap, a phone call suddenly came in.

"Jiang Xiaoqian?"

Seeing that name, Su Chen's hand clenched tightly, and a wave of killing intent flashed in his eyes. After a moment, he took a deep breath and answered the call.

"Hello!"

"Su Chen! What do you mean? Disappearing like a child! You even put the house on the market! Do you really think I care about your house? What I want is your attitude! If you don't give the house to me soon, how can I feel secure with you?"

"Where are you right now? Hurry back! I've already contacted Manager Liu, and we can finalize the transfer today. Next month, we'll have our wedding!"

Su Chen replied, "Anything else?"

"What kind of attitude is that! With your attitude, you can forget about ever marrying me!"

"I'm on my way back to the commercial city. We'll talk when I get there."

With that, Su Chen hung up the phone.

A tide of hatred flooded back into his memory.

...

In his previous life, Su Chen had survived in the apocalypse with Jiang Xiaoqian and others. He had awakened space jumping powers, a rarity among abilities, and did his best to keep his powers hidden.

Thanks to his space abilities, he always managed to gather the most supplies, making it easy for him to store and transport resources.

Basically, whatever food Wang Haoyu and Jiang Xiaoqian consumed was sourced by Su Chen. Jiang Xiaoqian never even went out to find supplies; she relied entirely on Su Chen.

Wang Haoyu only occasionally accompanied Su Chen on scavenging trips.

If it weren't for Su Chen, Jiang Xiaoqian and the others would have surely starved in the apocalypse!

Even after entering the safe zone, they still needed supplies; a secure area couldn't support the idle.

Most of the resources Jiang Xiaoqian and Wang Haoyu consumed still depended on Su Chen's efforts.

There was one time when Wang Haoyu had gone out with Su Chen and encountered a mutated beast. The beast bit into Wang Haoyu's carotid artery. Although they killed the creature, Wang Haoyu's blood wouldn't stop flowing. In desperation, Su Chen used bandages he salvaged from his space to stop the bleeding.

However, revealing his unique space ultimately led Su Chen to tragedy!

In a surprising twist, Jiang Xiaoqian had actively asked to join him in scavenging. Without giving it much thought, Su Chen agreed and brought her and Wang Haoyu along.

But when Su Chen let his guard down, they attacked him unexpectedly!

A sharp blade pierced through Su Chen's chest, and the cold sensation filled his body and soul!

When he turned around, he saw Jiang Xiaoqian's cruel and mocking expression.

Soon after, the two of them led a horde of mutated beasts to him, and he died in the jaws of those monsters.

He still vividly remembered their twisted faces and words in his final moments.

"He's dead! All the supplies in his space will surely spill out!"

"Exactly! Who knows what this pathetic loser has hidden. I can't wait to find out!"

"With this loser out of the way, we won't have to sneak around anymore…"

...

Every time he recalled those memories, Su Chen felt as if every inch of his skin was being torn apart by the mutated beasts.

Looking back, he realized he had truly been a fool in his last life, putting his trust in such individuals!

Five years! He had spent five years in that apocalypse!

He had led those people into a safe zone, but never expected to be betrayed by those two in the end!

Wang Haoyu, Jiang Xiaoqian!

I will make you pay!

You won't die easily!

I will make you experience the pain I once endured a hundredfold, a thousandfold!

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he dialed Manager Liu's number: "Manager Liu, the house price has dropped to 700,000, full payment. Can you find a client today? Alright, I'll wait for your news."

After hanging up, Su Chen gazed out the window, his thoughts drifting into memories...

In his previous life, disaster struck!

The Earth's core rapidly expanded due to an abnormal release of solar energy, causing atmospheric temperatures to spike and frequent geological movements.

These movements mostly occurred in the ocean, causing vast amounts of seawater to surge onto land.

This was followed by numerous volcanic eruptions, with the closest being Japan, which was soon submerged in a sea of molten lava.

Volumes of ash filled the sky, enveloping the world, and the temperature plummeted to nearly minus ninety degrees!

When the ash cleared, everything had changed. The Earth expanded many times over, giving way to a new world and a new order…

Extreme heat, earthquakes, floods, endless nights, and deep cold...

Su Chen took a deep breath. This was the catastrophe he once endured.

This time, I will survive alone! From now on, I only trust the knife in my hand!

After returning to the commercial city, Su Chen went straight to the real estate agency. As he stepped out of the taxi, he saw Jiang Xiaoqian waiting at the door, likely having learned from Manager Liu about his recent call.

Beside Jiang Xiaoqian stood Wang Haoyu—her so-called male confidant and younger brother.

Thinking about it now, they probably had an affair long before!

With that thought, a trace of killing intent flashed in Su Chen's eyes!

I will play with you two!

Su Chen stepped out of the car, and Wang Haoyu swaggered over with a cigarette in his mouth and a baseball bat in hand, looking disdainful.

"Damn it, Su Chen, who told you to sell the house? Daring to sell our house, do you believe I won't let you see tomorrow's sun?"

"Damn it, Su Chen, who told you to sell the house? Daring to sell our house, do you believe I won't let you see tomorrow's sun?"
