Song Ya wakes from a nightmare of the apocalypse to find herself reborn two weeks before the catastrophic events begin. In her previous life, she survived eight years of natural disasters, mutating monsters known as Plunderers, and a society where ability users rose to power. Her replicated abilities were limited, but she possessed spatial storage and lightning powers. Determined to change her fate, she accesses the ten billion yuan left to her by her estranged father, money she had previously refused out of pride. She immediately begins a massive stockpiling operation, renting ten suburban warehouses and purchasing vast quantities of rice, flour, water, frozen foods, and household necessities. She lies to suppliers, claiming she is buying relief supplies for an earthquake in S City, a cover story that allows her to buy without raising suspicion.
As she accumulates resources, Song Ya reconnects with her childhood friend Lin Nan Nan and her boyfriend Liu Haowen, who live in the same apartment complex. She also encounters Zheng Yiming, a quiet college student renting the third room, unaware that he will become the captain of the First Legion and a powerhouse in the coming years. Song Ya fortifies her apartment with reinforced steel doors and bulletproof windows, citing the approaching typhoon as the reason. She purchases custom-built RVs, off-road SUVs, helicopters, and speedboats, along with weapons like swords and daggers. She also secures a villa in a wealthy district, planning it as a secondary safehouse with a rooftop garage for vehicle storage away from floodwaters.
The typhoon hits on October 1st, just as predicted, but it does not pass in three days as forecasted. It lasts for weeks, bringing relentless rain, hail, and eventually extreme cold. While other residents suffer from hunger and fear, Song Ya, Lin Nan Nan, Liu Haowen, and Zheng Yiming live comfortably. Song Ya uses her time to meditate and strengthen her mental power, which expands the capacity of her spatial storage. She grows vegetables indoors and maintains a steady supply of cooked meals. The contrast between her preparedness and the desperation of her neighbors becomes stark, particularly with the family across the hall, Elder Liu and her son Huang Guolin, who hoard food and sell it at exorbitant prices.
Tensions rise as the typhoon drags on. Huang Guolin attempts to harass Song Ya, demanding sexual favors in exchange for a small amount of rice. Song Ya records the interaction and posts it in the building’s group chat, exposing their hoarded food to the desperate neighbors. This leads to Elder Liu’s apartment being broken into and looted, leaving her with nothing. The loss of power and surveillance cameras emboldens residents, turning the community into a microcosm of the coming lawlessness. Song Ya remains calm, knowing that the true apocalypse is yet to come, with Plunderers and ability users emerging in the years ahead. She secures her alliance with Zheng Yiming, recognizing his future importance, while maintaining a low profile to avoid becoming a target. The story ends with the typhoon still raging, setting the stage for the deeper horrors that will follow as humanity descends into chaos.
