Thirty-six hours before the world freezes over, Gu Xingzhou is reborn, back in front of a disaster-relief supply receipt.
In his previous life, he was only a temporary inspector. Forced to sign for expired disaster-relief grain, he ultimately took the blame and went to prison, while his mother died tragically at a shelter.
In this life, the moment he opens his eyes, he can see the true countdown for every supply: whether the food is still edible, whether the medicine can still save lives, whether the diesel can last through the freezing night. Nothing escapes his notice.
While others rush to stockpile supplies for themselves, he first refuses to sign for tainted grain;
while others scramble over ration allocations, he posts the death countdown on the wall;
hidden stockpiles held by corporations, names erased from hospital records, fraud in the disaster-relief supply chain, and secret accounts for supplies across five cities all come to light one after another.
Snow and ice seal the city, and order collapses.
Gu Xingzhou doesn't set out to be a savior. He does only one thing: make sure every bag of grain, every box of medicine, and every barrel of oil is accounted for by name, with its destination fully traceable.
This time, he will save his mother and write every person quietly erased by the disaster back onto the list, one by one.
