Apocalypse Countdown: I Stockpiled Supplies on the Basement Level and Became a God

Lin Yue has died once before. In his previous life, in the third year of the apocalypse, he died outside the shelter he had reinforced with his own hands. The person he trusted most shoved him out to distract the mutated beasts. Just before he died, he heard them say, “Sorry. There’s only enough supplies for one person.” When he opens his eyes again, he’s lying in bed in his rental apartment, and the date on his phone is thirty days before the apocalypse. The scar on the back of his hand is gone. He has no time to dwell on it. He remembers everything: the red rain from the sky, the changes in spiritual energy, the city’s surface turning into a hunting ground for mutated beasts. The surface is a dead end, but underground, on the first basement level of the office building where he works, is an abandoned utility floor everyone has forgotten. It’s the only way to survive. No one found it in his previous life. This time, he’s the first to enter and discovers a panel only he can see: [Basement Level 1: Level 1] [Function: Storage (10 m³)] [Next Level: Cold Storage (Requires: 100 kg of food supplies)] From clearing out pipes and reinforcing walls, to stockpiling supplies alone and sheltering a dozen people; from the first basement level to the third, from one building to five outposts, the first basement level transforms from a pitch-black space into a city. The apocalypse, put simply, means the surface belongs to someone else, and you have to head underground to survive. It’s like running for high ground when a flood comes, except this time you go lower. Stockpiling, put simply, means bringing the supermarket home. It’s like ants carrying things back to their nest, except the ants carry dirt, and you carry your life. In this life, he won’t save the world. He’ll protect this building, and this basement. “When he died in his last life, there was only half a bottle of water left on the shelves. This time, he’ll make sure they’re so full there’s no room for more.”
