I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse

Chapter 1

Rebirth

The first rays of the morning sun shone through the window upon the bed, where a young girl lay. She had a slender and graceful figure. Her long black hair was as soft and shiny as silk, and her fair arms were resting on the blanket. She looked like a princess from a fairy tale.

However, at this moment, her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her expression spoke of untold pain, as if she was experiencing a terrifying nightmare.

The girl suddenly sat up and panted heavily. Large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.

Du Yue looked like she had just been saved from drowning. She opened her mouth and took many deep breaths before she finally looked around and began to scan her surroundings cautiously.

After seeing the warm decorations around, Du Yue became a little confused. Where was Yingying?

Could it be that she had already been saved? It was impossible not to feel fear. When the apocalypse descended, everyone’s lives became as fragile as glass.

The acid rain came without any warning, pouring down from the high heavens. None of the living beings in the world were spared. Everything suffered the corrosion of the relentless acid rain.

This had to be a dream. After the apocalypse, most of the buildings in the world collapsed after the corrosion. How could there still be such a warm and comfortable room in this world?

The sunlight outside the window was warm and dazzling, shining its benevolent rays on the plants and lifeforms of this world, filling it with vitality.

Wait a minute!

Du Yue’s eyes widened in disbelief as she did a double take at her familiar surroundings.

This was her house!

The house she had been living in before the apocalypse!

After Du Yue confirmed this, her heart began to beat uncontrollably. The silent roars within her heart were so loud that she felt like her eardrums were about to burst.

She lifted the blanket and started to search the bed. Finally, she found her phone lying in the corner.

The phone screen clearly displayed that today was June 1st, 2050, Children’s Day!

Looking at the date, tears rolled down Du Yue’s face uncontrollably.

The heavens had eyes! She was really back!

After struggling in the apocalyptic world for two years, she had still failed to escape the corrosion of the acid rain and died a tragic death.

She had not expected the heavens to give her a chance to start over by sending her back in time, three months before the apocalypse.

Du Yue did not have time to wipe the tears off her face. She quickly opened the mobile banking app on her phone. When she saw that there was still three billion in her bank balance, her tense nerves finally relaxed.

In her previous life, the end of the world had come suddenly. By the time anyone even began to realize what was going on, all of the money and wealth in the world had lost their value.

All of Du Yue’s savings were turned into useless numbers on a screen.

This time, she was going to spend all of her money on the supplies she needed

However, the problem now was that she did not have a place to store so many supplies.

“How nice it would be if I had somewhere to store it all,” she said.

Then, Du Yue suddenly remembered that her mother had given her a heirloom jade pendant when she was young, and had asked her to wear it at all times.

The green jade pendant was not particularly striking. It was round and did not seem to possess any features that would make it valuable to collectors as a keepsake.

In her previous life, she had always worn that jade pendant. It was only later, when the world became more and more chaotic, that she took it off and hid it in her clothes to avoid the greedy eyes of those with evil intentions.

However, she still ended up losing it later on, which greatly saddened her at the time.

That was the only thing her mother had left her!

She lowered her head and noticed that the jade pendant was right on her chest! Du Yue’s heart skipped a beat as she took the jade pendant off. Looking at the dark green jade pendant in her palm, Du Yue thought of a bold idea.

“In the novels and movies I read previously, it was often portrayed that these family keepsakes contained special abilities or functions. I wonder if it’s possible that this jade pendant does too.”

Du Yue mumbled to herself as she walked out of the bedroom. She put on her slippers and walked over to the living room.

She took out a silver needle used for acupuncture from the drawer in the living room. She gritted her teeth and stuck it into her fingertip.

A large drop of blood appeared on her fingertip. Du Yue’s expression was very calm as she allowed that drop of blood to drip onto the jade pendant.
