Li Quan died in the seventh year of the apocalypse, pushed into a horde of zombies by the brother he trusted most and the woman he secretly loved. With the ancestral jade pendant on his chest stained with blood, he died full of hate.
When he opened his eyes again, the calendar read June 1, 2025, three months before the apocalypse began.
The reborn Li Quan touched the ancestral jade pendant, which was warm against his chest. With a thought, a mysterious space of one hundred square meters appeared before him. Time stood still inside, everything stayed fresh forever, and a spring within its depths could cure corpse poison and heal wounds. Even more astonishing, every memory from his past life was as clear as yesterday: the date of every zombie horde, the timing of every natural disaster, the whereabouts of every future powerhouse, and even... the faces of every traitor.
This time, he would be kind to no one.
He sold off his assets, mortgaged his property, and bet everything on borrowed money. He would turn his ordinary wealth into the hard currency of the apocalypse. Tons of rice, flour, and cooking oil; crates of antibiotics; piles of diesel generators; enough cold weapons to arm an entire company... While everyone else worried about making their mortgage payment at the end of the month, Li Quan's private warehouse was already packed with seven rows of shelves.
But he hadn't expected the space to hold secrets beyond that. When the first zombie crystal was purified by the spring, the dormant jade pendant stirred. The hundred-square-meter space began to tremble, and a spirit field was about to open.
The apocalypse countdown: ninety days.
This time, Li Quan wouldn't just survive. He would live better than anyone else. He would build his own base and find the people from his past life whom he had failed to save, making every traitor pay in blood. In this new world of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he would teach everyone one simple truth:
Kindness needs an edge, and in the apocalypse, supplies and fists are the only truth.
