"Ah!"
A sharp pain spread through An Nan's wrist, and she immediately fell to the ground.
At this moment, her most trusted friends had brutally cut off her hands.
The jade bracelet on her wrist fell heavily to the ground, yet it remained unscathed.
Bai Wenbin picked up the bracelet as if he'd found a treasure, his face revealing a greedy smile.
"An Nan, since you're still unwilling to be my woman, I can't let you stay any longer."
The woman next to him gripped his arm, "Cousin, she deserves whatever she gets for not knowing what's good for her!"
"I knew her father was heartless, not even willing to give a piece of bread. We should have acted sooner to avoid hunger."
An Nan fell to the ground, disbelievingly staring at them.
—These were her partners who had fought side by side with her and tried to survive the apocalypse.
"What are you looking at?" Qian Ying'er let go of Bai Wenbin's arm, clutched the bone-removing knife in her hand and stomped toward An Nan.
"The moment I saw you, I wanted to slash your little face!"
As her words fell, her hand swung the knife.
An Nan, lying on the ground, had lost too much blood and the ability to resist, and could only feel her life ebbing away in tremendous pain...
On the brink of death, she heard Qian Ying'er's coquettish voice.
"Bro, we have meat to eat today!"
At this moment, Annan was full of regret.
How could she have been so foolish, not seeing the true nature of the two wolfish characters earlier?
Surviving the apocalypse for four years, no matter how tough, only to die in the end due to her friends' betrayal!
She would not resign herself...
If she could do it all over again, she wouldn’t let them off!
...
"Ahh!"
Another scream, Annan startling awake, sitting up on her bed.
She looked around, stunned by her surroundings.
Is this... the house she lived in before the apocalypse?!
Wasn't she murdered by the Bai Wenbin siblings? How did she come back here?
The temperature around her was comfortable and warm.
Ever since that sudden disaster four years ago, Annan hadn't experienced such a comfortable temperature.
She picked up the cellphone nearby with astonishment, it displayed July 8, 2039.
Isn't this three days before the apocalypse?
What's going on? She clearly died in 2043, right?
On July 11, 2039, a catastrophic downpour swept across the globe.
Within a few days, cities turned into vast oceans, and countless people lost their lives.
At first, people thought it was just a flood; they had no idea it was the prelude to the end of the world.
Torrential rain, flooding, extreme heat, acid rain, dense fog, earthquakes, extreme cold...One extreme weather after another turned the world into a living hell.
For four whole years, she fought for survival until her death, and even then, the natural disasters hadn't ended.
Has she... been reborn? Reborn three days before the apocalypse?!
Annan was overjoyed, then quickly looked down at the jade bracelet in her hand.
Without this jade bracelet, perhaps she wouldn't have survived the first year of the apocalypse.
She bit her right finger and let the blood drip onto the bracelet.
The next second, a flash of white light passed, and an approximately 800-square-feet space appeared in Annan's consciousness.
One side was a vast, empty expanse, and on the other was a small single-story house of about 60 square meters.
Annan heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the space had been reborn with her.
In the previous life, she was injured and bled during a break-in by her neighbor. Her blood dropped onto the bracelet, accidentally unlocking the space.
Anything she touches with her hands can be stored in this space.
There's water, electricity, and gas in the small house within space, serving as a hideout in emergencies, but she can only be in there for 1 hour each day. Overstay, and she'll be ejected from the space.
Living creatures cannot enter the part of space outside the small house. She can only store objects in it through her consciousness.
Time in this part of the space is static, perfect for preserving stored food.
In her previous life, whenever she encountered danger, she, Bai Wenbin, and Qian Ying'er would hide in the small house within the space. That's how they managed to survive four years in the post-apocalyptic world.
This space could be considered a game cheating device for survival in a post-apocalyptic world.
Unfortunately, she did not unlock this space until well into the apocalypse in her previous life.
She had no resources, and almost everyone else was out of ammunition and food. There wasn't much food to store.
She, Bai Wenbin, and Qian Ying'er could only scavenge for supplies everywhere, storing what they found in the space to keep it from others. That was their grueling survival strategy.
Qian Ying'er was her college classmate and happened to live in the same community, same building, after graduation.
While Bai Wenbin was Qian Ying'er's cousin. After knowing An Nan through her, he began to pursue An Nan vigorously.
Even though An Nan made it clear she rejected him, he was relentless in his pursuit.
When the catastrophe occurred, the three of them being acquaintances and neighbors instinctively grouped together for survival.
Gradually, An Nan regarded them as comrades in arms.
Little did she expect, they were only interested in her wealth, hoping to gain survival resources from her father.
Unfortunately, her deadbeat father was not a loving, affectionate dad. He was a ruthless man, as fickle as a 'Phoenix male'.
In her senior year of college, Annan's mother suddenly died of a heart attack. After inheriting his wife's huge fortune and company, Annan's father, An Xingye, revealed his true colors.
He not only brought a woman home but also had a secret daughter who was about the same age as Annan.
The stress of losing a daughter made her grandmother ill. She passed away from the turmoil caused by it.
He didn't even care about his own daughter, cutting ties and expelling her from the hillside villa.
Fortunately, when her mother was alive, she had bought her an apartment in Maple Forest Scenic Acres, so she at least had a place to stay.
However, before she could recover from the family drama, disaster struck.
The end of the world came. Her father's hillside villa was located on high ground, and the wealthy, insightful people managed to airlift many supplies during the early stages of the heavy rain, allowing them to survive reasonably well in the post-apocalyptic world.
Struggling and running out of supplies, Annan, along with the Bai siblings, made their way through countless dangers to the hillside villa, hoping that her scumbag father would save them.
Unexpectedly, her father, An Xingye, was as unfeeling as ever. He held onto his new wife, daughter, and food, refusing to give her even a piece of bread.
He didn't care about her life or death.
And when Bai Wenbin and Qian Ying'er saw that she was no longer of use to them, they revealed their true colors, trying to forcibly take the space inside her bracelet.
They even tried to dissect her in the end...
Unfortunately for them, they didn't know that once the bracelet recognized its owner through a drop of blood, it was firmly bound to her, Annan.
Even if they took her bracelet, they still wouldn't be able to access her space.
In this life, she would like to see how long they could survive without her space.
Annan thought hatefully.
Although she wanted to seek revenge on the two people immediately, the more important thing right now was to stockpile survival supplies.
The catastrophe would arrive in three days, and there were many things to prepare.
As for the siblings, let them struggle painfully in the upcoming apocalypse.
That would be more fun than simply killing them!
And there's that scumbag father.
In her previous life, she had died tragically, no longer owing him the favor of giving life.
Annan was cold-hearted. In her rebirth, she wouldn't tell him about the approaching apocalypse.
Let's see if the resources he hoarded in the villa district would be enough for his family to survive for a lifetime!
In this life, she would look out for herself and cherish this second chance. Even in the apocalypse, she intended to live life freely and joyfully!
Annan turned on her mobile phone, checking the bank card balance.
Exactly 1 million.
Fortunately, when An Xingye kicked her out, he didn't confiscate all her pocket money.
In her previous life, this money became meaningless data and waste paper in the apocalypse.
In this life, she intended to turn them all into supplies, maximizing their value!
