Synopsis
The world has entered a new Ice Age — the frozen apocalypse has arrived. 95% of humanity perished across the planet! In his past life, Zhang Yi was too kind-hearted… and in the end, he was killed by the very people he had once helped. Reborn one month before the icy end of the world, Zhang Yi awakens a spatial ability and begins hoarding supplies like mad! Lack of resources? He empties out the warehouse of a massive billion-dollar mall! Uncomfortable living? He builds a doomsday fortress of a safehouse! When the end comes, others are freezing like dogs, willing to give up everything just for a bite of food. Meanwhile, Zhang Yi is living more comfortably than he ever did before the apocalypse. White Lotus Girl: “Zhang Yi, let me into your house and I’ll be your girlfriend.” Rich Second-Gen: “Zhang Yi, I’ll trade all my wealth for just one meal at your place!” Beastly Neighbors: “Zhang Yi, you should share your supplies with us! Don’t be so selfish!” ... Looking at these people who had betrayed him in his previous life, Zhang Yi lies back in his fortress, living a life of peace and comfort, like a paradise apart from the world. Zhang Yi: “What does your life or death have to do with me? I’d rather feed my supplies to the dogs than give them to you!”

Chapter 1 - Reincarnation

Pain, unbearable pain!A searing, unforgettable pain spread throughout Zhang Yi's entire body.It wasn't just a sensation—it was a brutal reality happening to him.At that moment, he was being trampled to the ground by friends and neighbors he had once trusted and helped, their fists, feet, and even sticks raining down on him.In this post-apocalyptic world of scarce resources, they didn't care about the help Zhang Yi had once given—they still turned on him!As he lay dying, he vaguely saw Fang Yuqing—the goddess in his heart—standing behind the crowd, pitifully shouting, "I'm the one who made him open the door—give me an extra share of the supplies!"It was this very woman who had tricked Zhang Yi into opening the door—and led to his death.Zhang Yi stared at her, eyes full of hatred and regret.He could only blame himself for being too naive, too kind, becoming a stepping stone for others in the apocalypse.How he wished he could start everything over again.If he had the chance, he would no longer show mercy to anyone—he would live only for himself!Zhang Yi's vision quickly turned black, and he lost consciousness.

Yet in the very next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the couch.The hellish scene he had just experienced, the unbearable pain—it was all still vivid in his mind.Zhang Yi gasped heavily, his whole body quickly soaked in sweat."What's going on? Wasn't I killed by those beastly neighbors?"Coming to his senses, Zhang Yi began to examine his surroundings.This place wasn't unfamiliar—it was his own home.But the comfortable temperature in the air made him feel oddly surprised.Because in December 2050, Earth had been hit by the Cambrian Storm, a global climate catastrophe caused by a supernova explosion 500,000 light-years away.Temperatures around the world plummeted. In Tianhai City, where Zhang Yi lived, daily temperatures dropped to minus 60 or 70 degrees Celsius.Blizzards lasted for a month, burying the entire city in snow.It was said that in northern Huaguo, temperatures reached a terrifying minus 100 degrees, and the land was completely buried under ice and snow.Countless creatures went extinct, and over 95% of humanity perished in the disaster.Zhang Yi stood up and took a bottle of water from the fridge, gulping down more than half of it.Though the chilled water was cold, to him now, it tasted like heavenly nectar.In the apocalypse, the only way to get water was to go outside and dig snow in minus 60 or 70 degrees, then melt it.Doing that often meant freezing to death.After drinking, Zhang Yi looked at his phone.The screen showed the date: "November 12th."There was exactly one month left until the apocalypse began."Looks like I've been reborn."Zhang Yi took a deep breath and quickly understood what had happened.That month of torment couldn't have been a dream—especially the pain of being torn apart—it was far too real.He looked up, feeling immense relief at having survived.At the same time, a cold, sharp light flashed in his eyes.He remembered every single person who had betrayed and killed him.This time, he would live well—and never again show kindness to those beasts.And more than that, he would make sure to take his revenge—fiercely, and thoroughly.But for now, Zhang Yi had to focus on one thing: how to survive in the apocalyptic world one month from now.Zhang Yi's life conditions weren't bad.His parents had passed away early, and he had inherited an apartment in Tianhai City—120 square meters in size.He also had over 2 million yuan in savings, which would've been considered well-off in normal times.But when the apocalypse struck, global resources would become drastically scarce.With just that amount of money, he wouldn't last long.After all, surviving alone would require an enormous amount of supplies.And since he had time to prepare, Zhang Yi didn't just want to live—he wanted to live with some quality.Food, entertainment—he needed both. Otherwise, mental collapse was inevitable in the long run.Weapons and equipment were essential too. Only then could he protect himself and complete his revenge.Just then, a streak of white light appeared before Zhang Yi's eyes.He thought his right eye was blurry and reached up to rub it.But suddenly, a strange thought emerged in his mind.It felt like the white light was a part of him—and information about it surfaced in his brain.With a thought, Zhang Yi's consciousness entered the white light.Inside, he discovered a vast, endless, white space.It stretched beyond measure, filled with nothing but blank emptiness."Is this... an alternate dimension?""Looks like I gained some kind of special ability after being reborn."Zhang Yi was instantly overjoyed.It seemed the gamma radiation had mutated his body, granting him supernatural power.With this massive space, storing supplies for the apocalypse would be so much easier.But Zhang Yi wanted to know how much he could store—and if there were limits on what he could put in.His consciousness returned to his room, and he began testing the storage function.He started with small things like cups and washbasins—all went in easily.Then he tried larger appliances.TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, computers, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners.The white space accepted everything without hesitation.And with just a thought, Zhang Yi could summon them back out again.However, objects that were fixed or part of larger structures couldn't be stored.For example, trying to extract a floorboard didn't work at all."It seems this space has its own rules—I'll need to slowly figure them out.""But even just being able to store objects in this massive space is already a huge advantage!"He licked his lips as a bold plan formed in his mind.Zhang Yi's job was as a supervisor at Walmart's South China regional warehouse.Walmart, as the world's largest supermarket chain, had a full range of goods.In Huaguo, there were three massive warehouses—in Central, South, and North China.The size of these warehouses was staggering, especially the South China one.Built in 2040, it was 1,500 meters long and 720 meters wide, covering over a million square meters! It was the largest warehouse in the world!The president of Walmart Greater China once called it the Eighth Wonder of the World.Of course, the world officially only recognizes seven wonders, and there are thousands of self-proclaimed "eighth wonders."But the scale and inventory of the South China warehouse truly stood above all others in the logistics industry.It held enough supplies to support millions of people in several cities for an entire week.In other words, if Zhang Yi emptied out even one warehouse and transferred it into his space,He wouldn't just survive—he could live for ten lifetimes without worrying about supplies!Even better, Walmart had strict quality control.There were no low-grade or shady brands inside.Whether it was food, daily goods, or luxury items, everything was from reputable brands.If Zhang Yi could empty out one Walmart warehouse, he wouldn't just survive the apocalypse—he could thrive in it.As a warehouse supervisor, he knew every shelf, every camera, every staff schedule like the back of his hand.To empty the warehouse wouldn't be hard for him at all.With the plan set, Zhang Yi felt much more at ease.Gurgle~Just then, his stomach let out a protesting growl.Zhang Yi touched his belly and glanced at the Huangmen Chicken Rice on the table.He rubbed his chin and hesitated for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, deciding not to eat the takeout."In a month it'll be the end of the world—gotta enjoy the good stuff while I still can. No need to be stingy with myself."After surviving a month of cold and hunger, he craved a hot, delicious meal more than anything.What was the point of saving money now?After the apocalypse, money would be nothing but waste paper. Better to spend it all now than let it go to waste.Zhang Yi turned around decisively, planning to treat himself to a luxurious meal at a fancy restaurant he'd never dared enter before.
