Chapter 2 - Survival isn’t given, it’s taken

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!

Time was tight. An Nan quickly compiled a stockpiling list on his phone's notepad and hurried out.

In the residential area, elderly people were walking in groups, chattering about everyday life.

A young couple held hands, strolling under the tree-lined path in pure bliss.

An Nan couldn't help but feel nostalgic. It had been a while since he'd seen such a peaceful and beautiful scene.

Unfortunately, in a few days, this beautiful picture would cease to exist.

An Nan quickened his step, reached a nearby car rental shop in the neighborhood, rented a small truck, and headed straight for Linbei City's largest wholesale market.

Firstly, he went to the grain and oil section to stock staple foods.

During natural disasters, even if you have nothing, as long as there's enough rice and water, you can survive.

He bought 500 bags of rice, each weighing 50 catties, 300 bags of various types of flour, and a thousand catties each of potatoes and sweet potatoes, that's 500 catties of corn, various beans, oats, buckwheat, and other cereals.

These staple foods were enough to feed a family of three for 70 years.

Although An Nan was alone, he bought extra. The surplus could be exchanged for other urgently needed supplies.

In the post-apocalyptic world, grain was the currency.

In the later stages of the flood, a bag of moldy rice could be bartered for a girl for a night.

Vegetables and fruits couldn't be exchanged.

After all, suspicions would arise if you were to present fresh vegetables from space years after the apocalypse.

Learning from the bitter experiences of the Yuan siblings, in this life, he'd never let anyone know the secret of his space.

After stocking up on staple foods, she went on to buy oil. She bought a total of 500 buckets of oil in 5-liter drums, including soybean oil, peanut oil, corn oil, sunflower seed oil, sesame oil, and olive oil.

Next, she visited the seasoning area, buying 600 catties of salt, and a total of 300 catties of all kinds of sugars including brown sugar and white sugar.

Soy sauce, cooking wine, aged vinegar, rice vinegar, white vinegar, and other types of vinegar summed up to 600 liters each.

In addition, she bought 300 catties of assorted condiments such as chicken bouillon, monosodium glutamate, chili powder, pepper powder, Sichuan pepper, star anise, cassia bark, bay leaves, and fennel.

There were also all kinds of semi-prepared condiments, like hotpot base, barbecue sauce, pickling spice, picklefish mix, and various kinds of sauce.

She transported these items to a deserted suburban area in her light truck, where they were stowed away under the radar.

It took her eight or nine trips back and forth before she finished gathering all the items.

Just when she was about to continue with stocking up on meats and vegetables, her stomach rumbled out loud.

It was then that An Nan recalled that she had been so busy stocking up, she had been working all morning without eating any meal.

As someone who has experienced hunger in the post-apocalyptic era, A Nan decisively halted her shopping spree and chose to satisfy her stomach instead.

She ended up in a street of snack shops not far from the wholesale market, and was momentarily dazzled by the choices available.

There were fried chicken shops, milk tea shops, barbecue restaurants, Sichuan cuisine restaurants, Crab Pot, and hand-rolled noodles...
