In her previous life, after her mother passed away, Lin Meijiao asked Qin Qian for one of the jade pendants.
She said she missed her aunt very much and wanted to keep it as a memento.
Heh, keep what?
She clearly saw that the jade pendant was valuable and wanted to claim it for herself, didn't she?
It was already late, but Qin Qian didn't want to sleep.
To face the Apocalypse, she needed ample preparation.
Qin Qian recalled the sequence of disasters: torrential rain, extreme heat, extreme cold and blizzards, eternal night and dense fog... She opened a mind map.
Using a method she had learned from someone else before, she wrote down a supply list.
Clothing, Food, Shelter, Transportation, Utilities.
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.
Each category corresponded, 5v5.
That is, [Clothing] corresponded to (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth).
[Clothing] - [Metal] meant:
Chainmail for self-defense, riot helmets, safety helmets... [Food] - [Metal].
Stainless steel basins, stainless steel bowls and chopsticks, stainless steel military canteens, cleavers, stainless steel cutting boards... And so on, combining the characteristics of the disasters, she wrote down the corresponding supplies.
She referenced lists compiled by Apocalypse enthusiasts online, checking for gaps and making additions.
Qin Qian felt a fire burning in her heart.
At first, it was anxiety and irritation, wishing she could stuff everything on Earth into her space.
Later, a hint of excitement surprisingly emerged from the pain.
She wanted to live, she wanted to live well in the Apocalypse, even better than before the Apocalypse!
…After the frenzy, Qin Qian suddenly thought of a very realistic problem.
Money.
Where would she get the money?
Her parents' inheritance was only a little over two million, and with the house, it was less than five million.
According to her several-meter-long supply list, she would need at least nine figures to gather everything.
A more realistic problem was that essential engine oil, diesel, and gasoline were restricted for purchase domestically.
Guns and ammunition, and some restricted medicines, were impossible to obtain.
What should she do?
Qin Qian was restless, habitually biting her index finger knuckle.
Similar to some who suck their fingers, this was a way for her to vent emotions... However, one problem wasn't solved before a new one arose.
That was combat power.
No matter how many supplies one had in the Apocalypse, without strong power to protect them, it would be in vain.
Before starting his business, Qin Qian's father was a retired soldier, and her maternal grandfather came from a martial arts family.
At three years old, she was undefeated in kindergarten.
In her teens, while other girls secretly wore crop tops on the street,
she didn't dare, because her stomach was lined with rows of abs... After her parents died, to avoid living off her savings, she started online martial arts streaming.
She could wield all kinds of weapons: sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, yue, hooks, and forks.
Or, with a baby face, she would tear watermelons by hand, smash bricks, and hammer durians... If it were ordinary adult men, fighting two was no big deal for her.
In the early stages of the Apocalypse, she did a good job of protecting herself.
But later, more and more offensive Ability Users appeared.
When someone throws a lightning bolt, can you really play taekwondo with lightning?
Qin Qian also had a Supernatural Ability.
But her Supernatural Ability was a bit weak.
She didn't know the name of her Supernatural Ability, so she casually gave it a nickname: Ability.
When using her Ability, she could make others ignore her presence.
For example, if you meet someone you're not quite familiar with face-to-face, and you don't want to say hello.
This Ability would make the other person completely unaware of you, directly passing by, treating you like a fart and letting you go~
In her previous life, Qin Qian advanced to the second tier.
She was already very satisfied that she could finally avoid the attention of some low-level zombies.
But, it had no offensive power.
It couldn't compare to those who could shatter an entire building with a single swing of a knife.
Wait!
Qin Qian suddenly thought of someone.
Song Zhi.
Wasn't he the incredible person who could shatter an entire building with one swing of a knife?
Qin Qian recalled their battle scene.
Speed Ability Users lured the zombies, all of them entering an abandoned building.
The Ability Users ran to the rooftop and leaped off.
After being caught by mutated giant birds and carried to a safe area,
Song Zhi's knife trembled, covered in a layer of silvery-white light.
With a gentle swing of his knife, a 25-story building and the zombies inside turned to dust.
The crystal cores scattered everywhere practically blinded her... Cling to the strong!
Qin Qian thought of this phrase.
In the early stages, Song Zhi was extremely down and out.
She needed to hoard more supplies, find Song Zhi when he was down and out, save him, and envelop him in holy light!
She would be his savior; as long as she provided food and lodging, Song Zhi would definitely become her big chopping knife.
To cut down her enemies!
Qin Qian increasingly felt that this method was reliable.
He would provide combat power, and Qin Qian would provide food and lodging.
With the two of them joining forces, wouldn't it be wonderful to cheat in the Apocalypse?
Qin Qian also knew that Song Zhi had a very miraculous Supernatural Ability.
It made him highly sought after in the Apocalypse, allowing him to walk around with ease.
With that Supernatural Ability, Qin Qian, a combat weakling, could also possess formidable combat power.
Thinking of this, Qin Qian's eyes glowed with wolf-like greed!
Yes, she must get him.
However, this brought the problem back to square one.
To support a powerful figure, she needed sufficient funds.
Ultimately, it was still about money, money, money!
Qin Qian was silent, looking at the photo of her family of three on the bedside table, at a loss.
She saw her father's sunny and handsome face.
But at this moment, she seemed to see another person through her father's face.
Suddenly, a memory flashed through her mind.
Looking at the blood-red sunrise in the sky.
Qin Qian bit herself hard again.
This time, it was out of excitement.
Damn it, isn't it just money?
She had a plan!
*
The next day, Liangshan Baodi.
The most luxurious hillside villa area in the city.
Qin Qian walked into her uncle's villa; the luxurious decor exuded extravagance.
Qin Qian curled her lips into a cold smile, her eyes full of disdain.
All of this was given to them by her mother.
Her maternal grandfather was glorious in his youth, but after his spine was broken by others, he completely lived in seclusion in a small mountain village, married, and had children.
Her maternal grandmother was a village woman who, from a young age, gaslighted Qin Qian's mother, who was the eldest sister.
As a result, her mother dropped out of school and went to work in the city to support her younger brother's education.
She met her equally impoverished husband, and the two supported each other, starting a business and building up their family fortune.
Her mother wanted to help her younger brother, so she brought him into her circle.
However, after her uncle acquired his own businesses, he secretly attacked the Qin Family, causing them to miss several major projects.
After the Qin Family couple died, her uncle, with tears in his eyes, said he wanted to adopt Qin Qian as his daughter.
At the time, Qin Qian was deeply moved.
If she hadn't overheard her uncle telling someone that he planned to have Qin Qian die an unnatural death before she came of age so he could rightfully inherit the estate,
she would have really believed him.
"Oh, the young miss is here?"
A sharp voice sounded.
It was the Qin Family's nanny, Aunt Sun.
Qin Qian glanced at the woman, who, despite being a nanny, was adorned with jewelry.
She was her uncle's mistress.
They had been involved even when her aunt was still alive.
Later, after her aunt died, she originally intended to naturally raise Lin Meijiao and use the opportunity to marry into the Qin Family as a wealthy madam.
Unexpectedly, Qin Qian's mother intervened, taking Lin Meijiao to the Qin Family to raise her, which foiled her plan.
Furthermore, her uncle's plan to kill his niece and seize his sister's inheritance failed.
The apartment he promised Aunt Sun using his sister's inheritance also fell through.
Therefore, she particularly disliked the Qin Family couple and treated Qin Qian even worse.
Aunt Sun secretly gritted her teeth.
Hmph, you lowly bastard with no parents, you still dare to come here?
I'll make sure you're dead!
