Apocalypse Starts: I Lie Back and Win with 100 Billion Worth of Supplies

Su Ruanruan wakes from a nightmare of being devoured by mutated monkeys, only to realize she has been reborn one week before the global apocalypse. In her previous life, she survived four brutal years of chaos, only to be betrayed and killed by her best friend. Now, armed with foreknowledge of the coming disasters, she discovers she possesses a spatial ability that allows her to store and preserve items indefinitely. With a massive inheritance and no familial ties, she dedicates the remaining week to stockpiling resources, transforming her top-floor apartment into a fortified stronghold.

She purchases vast quantities of frozen foods, seasonings, daily necessities, and weapons, filling her spatial dimension to capacity. She reinforces her apartment with soundproofing, blackout curtains, and multi-layered security doors, while installing water tanks and generators on the rooftop. As the apocalypse begins with a global blackout and extreme heatwave, Su Ruanruan remains safe in her climate-controlled fortress, watching as temperatures soar to lethal levels. Renovation workers who once built her defenses attempt to rob her, but they succumb to heatstroke and decomposition outside her door. Other looters are deterred by the rotting corpses and swarms of insects on the lower floors.

When the government announces a mass evacuation to Beijing, Su Ruanruan shrinks her entire apartment into her space and joins the migration. During the journey, she witnesses the collapse of social order, with people fighting over water and supplies. She identifies a thief stealing water from the convoy and anonymously tips off a soldier, who expels the culprit. Recognizing the impending extreme cold, she warns the military command about a sudden temperature drop, gaining a degree of protection and visibility within the convoy.

As temperatures plummet to sub-zero levels, the convoy faces a deadly blizzard. Su Ruanruan survives by utilizing her stored thermal gear and heat packs, while many others freeze to death. She encounters Lu An, a man she recognizes from her past life as a future powerhouse, along with his pet cat. Realizing the inequality within the military ranks, where officers enjoy warmth while soldiers suffer, she resolves to build her own independent team. She and Lu An secure an empty apartment for the night, establishing a preliminary alliance as they prepare for the global mutation that is scheduled to begin in ten days.
