Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy!

Lu Nanzhi was living her second life.

In her first life, despite being burdened massive debt from hospital expenditures, Lu Nanzhi had no complaints. Her parents have treated her well, providing all her needs.

She never got the opportunity to repay them because of the car accident.

Therefore, this was her form of making it up.

She worked many jobs. Although it was exhausting, it served her with a new purpose, filling the empty hole her parents' absence left behind. 

Her mental health became more stable. 

However, two months later, a series of disaster sweep the entire world, from scorching heat waves, to torrential rains, massive floods, extreme winter, tsunamis, and so on.

Food and water became scarce; disease and sickness spread, and fight for the remaining resources broke out.

The disasters nearly wiped out humanity.

Lu Nanzhi could barely survive. She relied through the vegetables she had grown to satiate her hunger and dew drops to quench her thirst.

After three months of grueling experience when the weather returned normal, the people thought that was the end of the dark era but the true nightmare was only beginning.

As Lu Nanzhi recalled more and more memories of her past life, her face was shrouded in gloom.

In that nightmare, she was only able to endure two more years before succumbing to fate. She never witnessed the end nor was she able to know if humans had survived.

She didn't know why she was given the chance at a second life but if she did nothing; she would suffer the same torment again.

Lu Nanzhi entered her small apartment, and headed for the balcony. A hit of nostalgia brushed over her form. It's two years since the last time she had seen her apartment and pots of plants that saved her life.

This time, she will prepare for it well.

It were the past life, she would never believe in this sort of thing but after regressing, Lu Nanzhi didn't have any a reason to doubt it. 

[Please claim your Beta Game Tester Rewards!]

Lu Nanzhi stared at the screen and at the [Yes] option for five seconds before tapping it.

[Personal Inventory is now available.]

[City Map is now available.]

[Personal Data is now available.]

[Player needs to level up to open more features!]

Honestly, she wasn't fond of games. The only game she played was the one called 'Sim City Disaster Management'.

It was because of an annoying online ad that made forcefully download the game and the app comes with no uninstall button.

Helpless, she decided to check out the game.

It was about gathering resources, leveling up, building a small base, upgrades and surviving the calamities.

Her eyes suddenly widened in realization when she saw the tiny icon on the lower right of the screen which was very similar to the icon of the game app.

Come to think of it, before she died in her previous life, she definitely heard a mechanical voice that said, "Beta Game is now over! All data will be cleared."

A trace of suspiciousness flashed in her eyes. During the previous timeline, within this time frame, she was still playing that game whenever she had free time.

She fished out her phone from the bag and scrolled through the apps but can't find it. It was not even in playstore app.

No search results popped when she typed the game's name just like before.

Lu Nanzhi stopped after figuring out it was pointless.

She transferred her attention on the rewards instead.

[Personal Inventory]

She read the two words and a tab popped in front of her. It was like a book with countless pages. Each pages had ten slots with [0/99] capacity.

When the inventory was activated, three option boxes floated over all the inanimate objects inside her apartment, including the phone she was holding.

[Collect] [Discard] [Destroy]

She was familiar with these functions.

Staring at the phone, she mumbled, "Collect", and the phone vanished. A small picture of the phone appeared on one of the slots- [Unrated XJ Phone X1].

Her eye became increasingly hot.

Using the keyword, "Discard!" the phone returned in her hand.

As for 'Destroy', she tested consuming a piece of blank paper.

[Item 'Unrated Paper' is destroyed.]

Not a bit of single of trace was left, as if the paper never existed. Lu Nanzhi was chilled to the bone. But beside that, it was a convenient function.

Most importantly, she doesn't have to worry about where to store her supplies. With the [Personal Inventory], she can stockpile without concern.

If it was the same as the game, the slot can even accommodate vehicles or heavy construction machineries and it has an additional function of preserving the freshness of food.

On the other hand, [City Map] allows her to see the layout of Jade City including the roads and distribution of buildings, residences, business establishments, and so on.

As for the [Personal Data], it only shows two lines.

[Player Name: Lu Nanzhi Level: 0 (0/10)

Combat Power: 0 (Unwakened)]

Combat Power is more likely referring Mental Power. After the disasters, people started awakening Mental Power.

This mysterious Mental Power gave the humans leeway. It directly boosts physiques, allowing humans to possess superpowers and resistance again the harsh environmental changes.

These three functions would greatly increase her chances in surviving. It gave Lu Nanzhi a bit of confidence.

Now she can stock supplies without worries.

Next was to make a plan.

Besides from food and water, she also needed cold and rain gears, install heating and cooling system, air filtrations system, generators, diesel, gasoline to produce power, transportation like boats, solar powered cars, extra batteries, home essentials, medicines, seeds, and weapons.

Sadly because of the debt, she only had 3,000 yuan savings left on her card. She still had to wait for Lu Meiying to pay the money for the shares.

 Lu Nanzhi exhaled a long breath. One step at a time.
