Pain. Intense, excruciating pain!
The searing agony engulfed Zhang Yi's entire being.
This wasn't just a sensation; it was a brutal reality.
At this moment, Zhang Yi was being greedily torn apart by friends and neighbors he once trusted and helped.
In this resource-scarce apocalypse, they didn't care about Zhang Yi's past kindness; they raised their weapons against him.
In his final moments, he vaguely saw his ideal woman, Fang Yuqing, standing at the back of the crowd, pitifully shouting, "I told him to open the door. You have to save a rib for me to make soup!"
It was this woman who had tricked Zhang Yi into opening the door, leading to his death.
Zhang Yi stared at her, his eyes filled with hatred and regret.
He could only blame himself for being too foolish and kind-hearted, which led to his downfall in this apocalypse.
How he wished he could start over.
If given another chance, he wouldn't show mercy to anyone; he would live solely for himself.
Zhang Yi's vision went black, and he lost consciousness.
But in the next moment, he abruptly opened his eyes and sat up on the sofa.
The hellish scene he had just experienced, the terrifying pain, was still vivid in his mind.
Gasping for breath, his entire body was soon drenched in sweat.
"What happened? Wasn't I killed by those beastly neighbors?"
Coming to his senses, Zhang Yi began to survey his surroundings.
This place wasn't unfamiliar; it was his own home.
The comfortable indoor temperature bewildered him.
In December 2050, Earth was struck by a global Cambrian storm due to a supernova explosion 500,000 light-years away.
Global temperatures plummeted, and the daily temperature in Tianhai City, where Zhang Yi lived, was around minus sixty to seventy degrees Celsius. A month-long blizzard buried the entire city.
Reports said temperatures in northern Hua were even more terrifying, reaching below minus one hundred degrees, burying the land in ice and snow.
Mass extinctions occurred across species, and even humanity saw a 95% casualty rate in this disaster. Zhang Yi stood up, took a bottle of water from the fridge, and gulped down half of it.
Despite the low temperature of the refrigerated water, it felt like nectar to him now.
In the apocalypse, the only way people could get water was to venture outside in the extreme cold of minus sixty to seventy degrees, digging snow to melt into water.
Such tasks easily led to freezing to death.
After drinking the water, Zhang Yi checked his phone.
The date read "November 12th."
There was still a month before the apocalypse.
"It seems I have been reborn."
Zhang Yi took a deep breath, quickly understanding what had happened.
That month of experiences couldn't have been a dream, especially the visceral pain of being torn apart, which was too real.
Raising his head, Zhang Yi felt immense relief at surviving.
At the same time, a sharp glint of determination flashed in his eyes.
He clearly remembered those who had caused his death.
In this new life, he was determined to survive and wouldn't show kindness to those beasts again.
But the next moment, Zhang Yi began to think about how to prepare for the apocalypse.
His parents had passed away years ago, leaving him a 120-square-meter house in Tianhai City.
He also had over two million yuan in savings, which seemed sufficient in ordinary times.
However, with the apocalypse approaching, global resources would become extremely scarce.
His savings alone wouldn't sustain him for long.
To survive, one needed a vast amount of resources.
Zhang Yi not only wanted to survive but also desired a certain quality of life.
Food, entertainment—everything needed to be accounted for, or he'd risk mental collapse over time.
At that moment, a white light suddenly appeared before Zhang Yi's eyes.
Thinking his vision was playing tricks, he rubbed his eyes.
But then, a strange thought emerged in his mind.
It seemed the white light was part of him, and information about it appeared in his mind.
With a thought, Zhang Yi's consciousness entered the white light.
To his amazement, he found himself in an enormous, blank space.
The area was vast, filled only with emptiness.
"Is this... a different space?"
"It seems I have gained some special abilities after being reborn."
Joy surged in Zhang Yi's heart.
It appeared the gamma-ray burst had given him special powers.
With this immense space, storing supplies for the apocalypse would be much easier.
However, Zhang Yi wanted to know how much this space could hold and if there were any limitations on what it could store.
His consciousness returned to his room, and he began trying to place items from his home into the space.
Starting with small items like cups and basins, he easily stored them.
Next, he tried larger appliances.
Television, fridge, washing machine, computer, air conditioner, vacuum cleaner.
The white space accepted everything without question, storing it all.
Moreover, with just a thought, Zhang Yi could retrieve items from the space.
Overjoyed, Zhang Yi thought, "With this vast space, I can store an enormous amount of resources!"
He licked his lips, a bold plan forming in his mind.
Zhang Yi worked as a supervisor in the warehouse of Walmart's South China district.
As the world's largest supermarket chain, Walmart's goods covered everything imaginable.
In Hua, Walmart had three massive warehouses in Central, South, and North regions.
These warehouses could supply millions of people in several cities for a week.
If Zhang Yi emptied one of these warehouses and stored everything in his space,
he'd have enough supplies to last several lifetimes!
The key was that Walmart's warehouses didn't stock low-quality goods; everything, from food to household items to luxury goods, was top-notch.
With such high-quality supplies, Zhang Yi could live like a king, apocalypse or not!
As a warehouse supervisor, Zhang Yi was intimately familiar with every shelf, security camera, and staff schedule in the warehouse.
Emptying the warehouse wouldn't be a difficult task for him.
With his mind made up, Zhang Yi felt much more at ease.
"Grumble~"
At that moment, his stomach growled in protest.
Rubbing his stomach, Zhang Yi glanced at the takeout food on the table.
Without hesitation, he tossed the takeout into the trash.
"In a month, the apocalypse will be here. I need to enjoy all the delicious food now, or I won't get the chance later."
Money would be worthless after the apocalypse, so he might as well spend it all now to avoid waste.
Turning with a carefree smile, Zhang Yi decided to find a Michelin three-star restaurant for a sumptuous meal.
