Background:
The world's top billionaires, wearing masks, gather on an unknown island to discuss "horse racing." The "horses" they talk about are all human beings.
Just then, a flying saucer flashing with blue light suddenly appears and sucks them all away...
Story:
Also known as [Don't Stockpile! Don't Stockpile! Don't Stockpile!]
[Typical CEO who thrives in the normal world but struggles in the apocalypse X INTP]
Qin Zhi and Jian Ti were actually in a state of mutual dislike when they first met. She couldn't stand his entitled, rich-kid attitude and CEO airs. He looked down on her for being a deadbeat delivery worker who still acted high and mighty.
During this time, Qin Zhi kept seeing flashing warnings about the apocalypse, though he wasn't sure whether to believe them.
But an apocalypse could only mean a few things: rain, power outages, extreme cold, extreme heat, zombies, mutated plants and animals... He couldn't think of anything else.
He wasn't short on money anyway, so he waved his hand and bought hundreds of thousands' worth of supplies to stockpile in his villa. Money really could solve most of the world's problems. Even if the apocalypse came and everyone else faced famine, he could still sit at home gnawing on a huge pork knuckle.
Then the apocalypse really came.
Qin Zhi was dumbfounded.
Nobody told me the apocalypse would be like this!
Jian Ti: "..."
I'm an INTP. What nice thing do you expect me to say? Sometimes my silence is the greatest emotional support I can offer. Get it?
Notes:
No supernatural powers or golden finger, and neither character is reborn or transmigrates.
It's probably best described as a story combining the apocalypse with the real world. The buildup is fairly long, and the apocalypse doesn't begin until Chapter 7.
There is a couple, but the focus is still on survival.
Both the male and female leads have plenty of flaws. The female lead is very cautious, not a perfect, strong heroine. This isn't a wish-fulfillment story.
