"Apocalypse Descends"-I've been reborn and am stockpiling resources

Pain, too much pain! The excruciating agony permeated every inch of Oliver's body. This wasn't a mere sensation; it was the harsh reality unfolding before him. At this moment, he was being ruthlessly divided by friends and neighbors he had once trusted and helped. In this post-apocalyptic world of scarce resources, they showed no regard for Oliver's past assistance and wielded their knives without hesitation. In his fading moments, he faintly saw his goddess, Emily, standing behind the crowd, looking pitiful and shouting, "I let him open the door; you have to save me a piece of rib for soup!" It was this woman who deceived Oliver into opening the door and ultimately caused his demise. Oliver glared at her, his eyes filled with hatred and regret. If he had to blame someone, it was himself for being too naive and kind, allowing himself to become fodder for others in this apocalyptic world. How he wished everything could start anew. Next time, he wouldn't show mercy to anyone and would live only for himself. Oliver quickly lost consciousness, darkness enveloping him. Yet, in the next moment, he abruptly opened his eyes and sat up from the sofa. The hellish scenes he had just experienced, that dreadful pain, were vivid in his mind. Oliver gasped for breath, his entire body soon drenched in sweat. "What's going on? Wasn't I killed by those savage neighbors?" After regaining his senses, Oliver began to assess his surroundings. This place wasn't unfamiliar; it was his own house. The comfortable temperature in the air puzzled him. Because in December 2050, the Blue Star experienced a global Cambrian storm due to the explosion of a supernova 500,000 light-years away. Global temperatures plummeted, and Oliver's hometown, Tianhai City, had daily temperatures around minus sixty to seventy degrees Celsius, with a month-long blizzard submerging the entire city. In the northern regions of the Hua Nation, temperatures even reached terrifying levels below minus one hundred degrees, burying the land in ice and snow. Numerous species went extinct, and over ninety-five percent of humans perished in this catastrophe. Oliver stood up, took a bottle of water from the refrigerator, and gulped down more than half. Although the refrigerated water was very cold, for him now, it was like nectar. During the apocalypse, the only way to obtain water was to go outside, endure extreme temperatures, and melt snow. Such tasks easily led to freezing to death. After finishing the water, Oliver checked his phone. The time displayed was "November 12th." A whole month remained until the apocalypse arrived. "It seems I've been reborn." Oliver took a deep breath, quickly understanding what had happened. The experiences of that month couldn't have been a dream, especially the excruciating pain of being dismembered, too real. Oliver looked up, feeling extremely fortunate to have a second chance at life. At the same time, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. Those who had caused his death, he remembered them clearly. In this life, he was determined to live well and wouldn't show kindness to those beasts. But in the next moment, Oliver began to ponder how to prepare for the apocalypse. His parents had passed away early, and he inherited a 120-square-meter house in Tianhai City, along with over two million in savings, which was considered comfortable in normal times. However, with the impending apocalypse, there would be a massive shortage of resources worldwide. With just this amount of money, he couldn't sustain himself for long. After all, surviving alone required a vast amount of supplies. Oliver not only wanted to live but also aimed for a certain quality of life. Food, entertainment—all needed to be considered; otherwise, he would surely succumb to mental breakdown over time. Just then, a beam of white light appeared before Oliver. He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him and rubbed them. At this moment, a strange thought emerged in his mind. It seemed that this white light was a part of him, and information about the white light appeared in his mind. Oliver, with a thought, entered the white light. To his surprise, it was an immense, boundless white space. The size inside was unknown, with vast expanses of emptiness. "Is this... an alternate space?" "It seems that after my rebirth, I gained some special abilities." Oliver's heart rejoiced. It seemed that the gamma rays had given him special abilities. With this vast space, storing resources for the apocalypse would be much more convenient. However, Oliver wondered how much the space could hold and if there were any restrictions on the objects he could store. His consciousness immediately returned to his room, and he began experimenting with placing various items into the space. Starting with cups and basins, they easily went in. Oliver then attempted to store large household appliances. Televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, computers, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners—all were accepted without hesitation by the white space. The white space welcomed everything, and Oliver could retrieve items with just a thought. Oliver was overjoyed. "With this enormous space, I can store a massive amount of resources!" He licked his lips, formulating a bold plan. Oliver's job was as a supervisor at the Walmart warehouse in the South of England. As the world's largest supermarket, Walmart had everything in its inventory. It had giant warehouses in the South, North, and Central regions of England. The goods regularly stocked in these warehouses could supply the consumption needs of several cities with populations of over ten million for a week. In other words, if Oliver emptied one of Walmart's warehouses and transported everything into his space... He wouldn't just be set for this lifetime; even ten lifetimes wouldn't be enough to consume all those resources! The crucial point was that Walmart's warehouses didn't stock low-quality goods. Whether it was food, household items, or luxury goods, they were all high-quality brands with guaranteed quality. If Oliver could empty one of Walmart's warehouses, he could live a more comfortable life, whether during the apocalypse or beyond. As the warehouse supervisor, Oliver was extremely familiar with every shelf, monitoring device, and staff schedule. Emptying a warehouse wouldn't be difficult for him. After deciding on this plan, Oliver felt a significant weight lifted off his shoulders. "Gulu~" Just then, his stomach protested. Oliver rubbed his belly and glanced at the takeout he had bought on the table. Without hesitation, he picked up the takeout and tossed it into the trash. "In a month, it'll be the apocalypse. I need to enjoy as much delicious food as possible before it's too late." What's the use of money? After the apocalypse, money would be nothing more than waste paper; it was better to spend it now and not let it go to waste. Oliver turned around confidently, ready to find a three-star Michelin restaurant and have a hearty meal.
