The End of the World is Coming? I’m Stockpiling!

★ [Upcoming story: The Chipmunk's Primitive Adventure. Please add it to your favorites! Blurb at the end.] ★

Dense fog, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and fissures, extreme heat, and rain that falls for years on end. The land disappears into the river of history...

After struggling to survive in the apocalypse for three years, Gu Mengran dies in the frigid river water. When he opens his eyes again, he has been reborn, carrying a space he obtained by chance and returning to the time before the natural disasters began.

The disasters haven't arrived, and his family is still alive. Gu Mengran decisively sells off the family property, empties their savings, and starts stockpiling supplies with his grandfather.

The fog is choking? Masks and protective suits, buy them!

Resources scarce after the disasters? Rice, flour, oil, and grain, stock up!

Volcanoes and earthquakes? What are you waiting for, run!

The land turns into an ocean, leaving them homeless?

Gu Mengran persuades his grandfather to use his pension to buy a boat, a big boat!

Before the disasters strike, the Gu family's two-story "villa" is successfully put to sea. Perhaps this time, he can survive the disasters that come one after another with his family.

*

In his previous life, Gu Mengran was unprepared and badly injured. He survived three years in the apocalypse only thanks to his old classmate Liang Zhao, who risked his life to save him.

He can never repay that life-saving favor. This time, Gu Mengran finds his old classmate early and successfully tricks him into boarding the boat, planning to flee together.

But as they spend time together, Gu Mengran gradually realizes that the way this old classmate, once straighter than a telephone pole, looks at him isn't exactly innocent.

Reading Guide:

1. Surviving natural disasters and farming. No handing things over to the authorities, and no saving the world.

2. A calm, slow-paced slice-of-life story, not a power fantasy.

3. A sort-of dual rebirth. The seme will gradually regain his memories later on.

4. The author's writing is at an elementary school level, and the logic is weak. Don't overanalyze.

Upcoming Story

The Chipmunk's Primitive Adventure

After being bedridden by illness for more than twenty years, Hua Shi'an never imagined he would get to walk again.

That's right, he transmigrated! The price of regaining his health is... his two legs becoming four, his skin turning into fur, an iron-and-steel city becoming a primitive jungle, and skyscrapers becoming tree hollows...

And that's not all.

In a primeval forest that blocks out the sun, he starts from the start with a shabby tree hollow and a partner assigned to him by the tribe who can't take care of himself.

There aren't any pots, bowls, or utensils at home. The only way to fill his stomach is by cracking pine nuts.

He may have transmigrated as a chipmunk, but beastmen are still half human, aren't they?

How did he end up going hungry half the time and spending all day cracking pine nuts?

The delicacies he missed in his previous life have become an obsession. Touching his own dull, lifeless fur and looking at the teary-eyed white puffball in the tree hollow, Hua, the self-proclaimed theorist, thinks: Let's do this!

Foraging, clearing land, planting crops, raising animals, building...

At first, he just wants something to eat and to keep his little white puffball alive.

But by accident, under Hua Shi'an's leadership, the weak squirrel tribe becomes the wealthiest tribe in the entire giant-tree forest.

*

Everyone in the squirrel tribe knows that the cleverest sub-beastman in the tribe, Hua Shi'an, has a foolish partner.

The fool can't hunt or forage, and even though he's a squirrel, he can barely climb trees. He has a pretty face, but spends all day clinging to Hua Shi'an and crying.

Everyone agrees that a clever sub-beastman needs a powerful partner.

So the single beastmen grow restless and start hanging around Hua Shi'an, constantly trying to win his favor.

Rock Squirrel: "Shi'an, let me help you carry that. I'm strong!"

Red-Bellied Squirrel: "Shi'an, here's some fur I've recently shed. You can use it to make your bed."

Long-Snouted Squirrel: "Shi'an, are you going to fetch water? I'll help. I'm fast."

No one takes the fool seriously, and more and more beastmen set their sights on Hua Shi'an.

Until one day, the strong Rock Squirrel suddenly takes to his bed, the Red-Bellied Squirrel with the thickest fur gets plucked bald, and the fastest Long-Snouted Squirrel ends up with a limp!

The formerly foolish and dim-witted snow squirrel walks out of the tree hollow, shakes out his sleek fur, bares his sharp claws, and glares viciously at the other beastmen: Try stealing my partner!

Only then do they realize the fool stopped being foolish ages ago. He can even take down the strongest warriors in the tribe!
