Chapter 6: Apocalypse Preparations and a Sister’s Generosity

After knocking out a few hooligans, I took my sister, Bai Xia, home from the cafe.

All the way home, my sister’s adoring gaze never left me. Her shy, admiring glances made me incredibly uncomfortable.

In my memory, my sister had always carried herself with a touch of arrogance, never once displaying such a peculiar expression.

Could she have eaten something bad? Or perhaps she was still shaken by those hooligans?

Unable to discern the reason for her sudden change, I quickly fabricated an excuse and slipped back into my room upon arriving home.

As for the question I’d originally intended to ask her—whether she truly disliked me—it became clear even without her saying a word after I’d chased away the hooligans outside the cafe.

She was now utterly captivated by me…

So, it couldn’t be dislike. Whatever else it might be, it didn’t matter, as long as my sister didn’t detest me!

With the possibility of my sister running away from home now extinguished, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Once back in my room, I began doing push-ups, intent on strengthening my arm strength once more.

With my sister’s situation resolved, I needed to prepare the essential items required for the apocalypse.

Now that my spatial ability had returned with me,

it could hold a significant amount of supplies, enough to ensure my sister and I wouldn’t starve during the apocalypse.

After the zombie virus outbreak in the apocalypse, although the zombies were terrifying, I didn’t feel afraid, having experienced it once before.

In fact, I had already planned out everything that would happen!

After all, having been reborn, I knew a great deal about the major events that would unfold in the apocalypse. I could now fully rely on this information to ensure my sister and I survived.

As for how to proceed, I intended to follow the same path as before my rebirth: my sister and I would hide at home for a month.

Then, when the army passed through H City, we could both leave with them.

After following the army all the way to B City, we would go directly to find Mom and Dad.

Before my rebirth, that’s exactly how I had survived! Though at that time, my sister had already run away from home and wasn’t by my side.

And I would also be abandoned by Mom and Dad later, during the zombie siege…

My memories seemed to drift back to the moment of abandonment. At this thought, I forced myself to speed up my exercise.

This way, my mind wouldn’t dwell on those past memories, allowing me to focus on the present.

Regardless of what had happened before, reaching B City was now my primary goal.

After gritting my teeth and completing two hundred push-ups, I stretched for a bit before settling down at my desk.

I found a blank notebook and began jotting down what supplies I would need to stock up on.

In the apocalypse, reliable weapons were an absolute necessity.

Next were daily necessities and food. Due to the unique nature of my spatial ability, items placed inside wouldn’t spoil, allowing me to prioritize fresh foods.

Though human survivor bases would begin cultivating grains and vegetables three years into the apocalypse, the early days saw not even a single vegetable leaf.

After ten years of upgrades and expansion in the apocalypse, my spatial ability had grown to be as vast as a basketball court.

At least now, I didn’t have to worry about whether things would fit. The real question was, where would I get the money to buy all these supplies?

After a moment’s thought, I suddenly recalled that I once had a secret stash of money! Ever since I arrived at the Bai family, I had been quietly saving.

Perhaps it was due to an underlying unease, a desire for a sense of security, that I had chosen to secretly hoard money.

Following my memory, I quickly went to the bed, lifted the mattress, and sure enough, found the savings passbook hidden underneath.

It contained all the pocket money I had saved over many years, amounting to more than a hundred thousand yuan.

However, this amount was still insufficient for purchasing supplies. Was I to resort to robbing the rich to aid the poor?

While a hundred thousand yuan might seem like a lot, it wouldn’t buy many expensive items. If I truly couldn’t think of another way, I would have no choice but to find a few wealthy individuals and ‘persuade’ them.

Stealing money was nothing, especially with the looming threat of the apocalypse. I simply wanted to prepare everything before the apocalypse arrived, knowing that once it truly descended, this money would become utterly useless.

As I pondered these troublesome thoughts, a sudden knock echoed at my door, and my sister’s small head peeked out from behind it.

Her eyes, brimming with curiosity, watched me. Upon seeing me lost in silent contemplation, a hint of inquisitiveness flickered within them.

“Brother, what are you thinking about?”

“Nothing much, just some minor matters.”

Seeing my sister, I offered her a smile. There were still seven days to prepare for purchasing supplies, so I wasn’t particularly anxious.

However, without sufficient funds, ordering custom-made weapons would likely be impossible.

High-quality weapons alone would require tens of thousands just for the deposit.

“Hmph, I know you very well, Brother. Your raised eyebrow gives you away!”

“Oh?”

“When you’re troubled, one of your eyebrows always quirks upward.”

“…”

‘I hadn’t realized my sister was so observant, knowing even my smallest habits.’

“Tell me! What’s going on? You just helped me, and now’s the perfect time for me to repay you!”

“Nothing, really. It’s just that I need a large sum of money right now.”

‘I hadn’t initially intended to tell my sister, but since she had already noticed, I figured it was better to inform her now.’

‘After all, I was even considering whether to tell her that in seven days, the entire world would change.’

“Money! Brother, you should have said so sooner! Wait, I’ll be right back.”

Upon hearing my words, my sister’s lips curved into a triumphant smile.

As soon as she finished speaking in a rush, her figure vanished from my sight.

‘What an impatient girl.’

Shaking my head, I lowered my gaze back to the savings passbook in my hand, mentally listing the essential items I needed to purchase.

“Brother, I’m back! Look at this.”

In just a moment, my sister returned, holding up a black card. She excitedly handed it to me, a triumphant grin spreading across her face.

“This is the card Dad gave me. You can spend whatever you want from it.”

Holding the black card in one hand and my passbook in the other, I couldn’t help but think: ‘Bai Xia, that girl is truly loaded!’
