Pain, it was excruciating pain!
The unforgettable pain spread all over Zhang Yi's body.
This wasn't just a feeling; it was an actual reality happening to him.
At this moment, he was ruthlessly knocked to the ground by the friends and neighbors he had once trusted and helped. Fists, kicks, and even sticks rained down on him like a storm.
In this apocalyptic world where supplies were scarce, they didn't even care about the help Zhang Yi had given them in the past and attacked him!
On the verge of death, he vaguely saw Fang Yuqing, the goddess in his heart, standing behind the crowd, looking pitiful as she shouted loudly, "I asked him to open the door. You have to give me an extra share of the supplies!"
It was this woman who tricked Zhang Yi into opening the door and then caused his death.
Zhang Yi looked at her, his eyes filled with hatred and regret.
He could only blame himself for being too naive and kind, which made him a stepping stone for others in this apocalyptic world.
How he wished everything could be done all over again.
Soon, Zhang Yi's vision went black, and he lost consciousness.
However, in the next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the sofa.
The terrifying scene of hell he had just experienced and that intense pain were still vivid in his mind.
Zhang Yi panted heavily, and his entire body was quickly soaked in sweat.
"What's going on? Wasn't I killed by those beastly neighbors?"
After coming to his senses, Zhang Yi began to look around at everything.
This place was not unfamiliar to him; it was his own house.
The comfortable temperature in the air made him feel extremely surprised.
Because in December 2050 AD, Blue Star was affected by the explosion of a supernova 500,000 light-years away and ushered in a global Cambrian Storm.
The global temperature plummeted. In Tianhai City, where Zhang Yi lived, the daily temperature was around minus 60 to 70 degrees Celsius. The blizzard continued for a month, submerging the entire city.
It was said that in the northern part of China, the temperature even reached the terrifying minus 100 degrees Celsius, and the land was all buried in ice and snow.
All kinds of creatures became extinct on a large scale, and even humans died in this disaster by more than 95%.
Zhang Yi stood up, took a bottle of water from the refrigerator, and gulped down more than half of the bottle.
Although the temperature of the refrigerated water was very low, for him now, this water was like nectar.
In the apocalyptic world, the only way for people to obtain water was to go outside, braving the extremely low temperature of minus 60 to 70 degrees Celsius, and dig snow to melt it into water.
Such work could easily freeze people to death.
After drinking the water, Zhang Yi opened his mobile phone and took a look.
The time displayed on it was "November 12th".
There was exactly one month left before the apocalypse arrived.
"It seems that I've been reborn."
Zhang Yi took a deep breath and quickly understood what had happened.
That one-month experience couldn't have been a dream, especially that pain of being attacked, which was too real.
Zhang Yi raised his head. After surviving the disaster, he felt extremely grateful.
At the same time, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
He clearly remembered those who had killed him in the previous life.
In this life, he must live well and would no longer show kindness to those beasts.
Moreover, on the premise of ensuring his own safety, he must severely avenge those beasts!
But now, the first thing Zhang Yi needed to consider was how to survive the apocalypse that would arrive in a month.
Zhang Yi's own living conditions were fairly good.
His parents had passed away early, and he had inherited a 120-square-meter house in Tianhai City.
He also had more than two million yuan in savings. In normal times, it was considered relatively abundant.
However, when the apocalypse came, supplies all over the world would face a severe shortage.
With just the money in his hands, it wouldn't last long at all.
After all, to survive alone, a huge amount of supplies was needed.
With the ability to prepare in advance, Zhang Yi didn't just want to survive; he also hoped to have a certain quality of life in the future.
Both diet and entertainment had to be taken into account. Otherwise, his spirit would definitely break down after a long time.
Moreover, weapons and equipment were also necessary. Only in that way could he protect his own safety and complete his revenge on his neighbors.
Just then, a ray of white light suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Yi.
He thought his right eye was blurry, so he reached out and rubbed it.
But suddenly, a strange thought flashed in his mind.
It seemed that this ray of white light was actually a part of him, and information about the white light also appeared in his mind.
With a thought, Zhang Yi's consciousness instantly entered that ray of white light.
When he went in and took a look, he found that it was actually an extremely huge white space.
He didn't know how large the area inside was; there was just a vast expanse of blankness.
"Is this... an alternate space?"
"It seems that after I was reborn, I've gained some special abilities."
Zhang Yi was immediately delighted.
It seemed that the passage of the gamma rays had caused a mutation in his body, giving him extraordinary powers.
With this huge space, it would be much more convenient for him to store supplies for the apocalypse.
However, Zhang Yi wanted to know how much stuff this space could store and whether there were any restrictions on the objects that could be put in.
His consciousness immediately returned to his room, and then he began to try putting the things in his house into the space.
At first, he started with a teacup and a washbasin, and they were easily put in.
Zhang Yi began to try stuffing large household appliances into it.
The color TV, refrigerator, washing machine, computer, air conditioner, and vacuum cleaner.
The white space accepted them all and took these things in.
Moreover, with just a thought from Zhang Yi, he could take the things out of the space.
However, some objects that were under strong external force and not independently existing were difficult to be put into the space.
For example, when he tried to dig out a piece of the floor, there was no reaction at all.
"There seem to be many rules in this alternate space, and I need to explore them slowly."
"But just this huge space that can store objects can allow me to store a vast amount of resources!"
He licked his lips, and a bold plan formed in his mind.
Zhang Yi's job was a supervisor in the warehouse of the South China region of Walmart Supermarket.
As the world's largest supermarket, Walmart had all kinds of goods.
It had three giant warehouses in China: Central China, South China, and North China.
The volume of these three warehouses was extremely terrifying, especially the South China warehouse.
It was built in 2040, 1,500 meters long and 720 meters wide, covering an area of more than one million square meters! It was the world's largest giant warehouse!
It had once been praised as the Eighth Wonder of the World by the President of Walmart Greater China!
Of course, there were only seven wonders recognized in the world, and the so-called Eighth Wonder was self-proclaimed, with thousands of such claims.
But the area and storage capacity of the South China warehouse were indeed unparalleled in the world's warehousing field.
The supplies regularly stocked inside could meet the consumption of tens of millions of people in several cities for a week.
That is to say, as long as Zhang Yi emptied all the supplies in one warehouse and moved them into his own space.
Then not only for his whole life, but even for ten lifetimes, he wouldn't be able to use up so many supplies!
The most crucial thing was that Walmart had very strict quality control.
There were no low-grade and unbranded goods in the warehouse.
Whether it was food, general merchandise, or luxury goods, they were all well-reputed big brands.
If Zhang Yi could empty one of Walmart's warehouses, not only would he not have to worry about supplies when the apocalypse came, but he could also live a very comfortable life.
As the warehouse supervisor, Zhang Yi was extremely familiar with every shelf, monitoring equipment, and staff schedule in the warehouse.
To empty the warehouse, it was definitely not a difficult thing for him.
After making up his mind, Zhang Yi felt much more relaxed.
"Gurgle~"
Just then, Zhang Yi's stomach growled in protest.
Zhang Yi touched his stomach and then looked at the Braised Chicken Rice takeout he had bought on the table.
Zhang Yi stroked his chin and hesitated for a while. Finally, he smiled and shook his head, choosing to give up eating the takeout.
"The apocalypse will be here in a month. I have to eat a lot of delicious food quickly, or I won't have the chance in the future. Why be so stingy with myself?"
He had endured a month of cold and hunger, and now he was eager to eat some hot and delicious food.
What was the use of keeping the money?
After the apocalypse, money would become waste paper. It was better to spend it all now so as not to waste it.
Zhang Yi turned around gracefully, ready to find a high-end restaurant that he had been reluctant to go to before and have a good meal.
