"Ah, don't eat me!"
Ye Yunxi let out a desperate scream, then quickly opened her eyes.
But what greeted her wasn't the terrifying sight of zombies—it was warm sunlight.
Still dazed, Ye Yunxi looked around in confusion and accidentally caught sight of the calendar on the wall.
It read: April 16, 2084!
What? She had actually gone back one month before the zombie outbreak!
[Ding! The system has automatically bound with the host.]
Immediately after, a screen appeared before Ye Yunxi's eyes!
This reminded her of the protagonists in novels who, upon rebirth, would be gifted with a system. She never imagined that one day, this would happen to her.
It was almost unbelievable.
Ye Yunxi asked, "Are you the system that came with my rebirth? Was it you who brought me back?"
She voiced the questions in her heart.
[Yes, Host. I have bound with you and have granted you an infinite storage space where you can store all the supplies you collect.]
The next second, Ye Yunxi felt her body enveloped by a strange, wondrous force.
When she closed her eyes, she found herself in a boundless place—this must be the space the system had mentioned.
When she opened her eyes again, everything around her had returned to normal.
Ye Yunxi was overjoyed. Not only had she been given a second chance at life, but she had also gained a system and a storage space—rare treasures beyond imagination.
Then, memories of the pain and despair before her death flooded back, and a deep hatred flashed in her eyes.

*"Ye Yunxi, you useless b*tch, hurry up and go find food for me!"*
*"You trash, do as you're told! Your dad said even if you die, your brother must live. If you don't go, we'll chop you up with a cleaver and eat you raw!"*
Ye Yunxi knew they meant every word. So, under their threats, she was forced to go out and scavenge for food to feed that beast of a younger brother, Ye Shaojie.
But outside, the world was freezing and overrun with zombies. Where could an ordinary person like her possibly find food?
She hadn't taken more than a few steps before a horde of zombies surrounded her, biting into her neck.
In the last second before death, she saw a helicopter flying toward the rooftop of their building.
So, Ye Shaojie and his mother had known rescue was coming. That's why they'd driven her out—to ensure she died!
At that moment, the hatred in her eyes was so intense it could have devoured everything.

Returning to reality.
Ye Yunxi knew the most urgent task now was stocking up on supplies. She immediately hailed a taxi and headed to the largest supermarket nearby.
The place was bustling with people, lively and crowded.
Ye Yunxi immediately sought out the supermarket manager and asked, "Manager, how much rice and flour do you have in stock?"
The manager replied, "How much do you need? We have plenty here."
Ye Yunxi said, "I want 200 bags of rice, 100 bags of flour, 100 bottles of cooking oil, 200 bags of salt, 200 bags of MSG, 200 bags of chicken bouillon, 100 bags of vinegar, and 100 bottles of oyster sauce, five-spice powder, and cumin powder."
The supermarket manager's eyes nearly popped out of his head. Perhaps he had never received such a massive order before, because his voice even stuttered:
"L-Little girl, what do you need all this for? Can you even finish it?"
Ye Yunxi waved her hand dismissively, putting on the airs of a spoiled rich kid:
"My dad gave me 1 million yuan as startup capital. I'm planning to open a small supermarket, so I came here to stock up!"
She deliberately acted like a clueless, money-flaunting young lady—this way, she'd attract less suspicion.
"Oh." The manager forced an awkward smile, then silently cursed in his heart: *What an idiot.*
Rich kids really had no idea how the real world worked. Of course, he'd never say that out loud.
After all, such a big order was a rare opportunity. He had to seize it.
So he immediately put on a professional smile and said,
"Of course, of course! Miss, please follow me. I'll have someone pack everything for you right away!"
Ye Yunxi said, "No need. Just have the goods ready for me—and make sure they're the freshest stock."
"Absolutely!" The manager was more than happy to oblige this seemingly naive but deep-pocketed customer.
While the manager went to arrange the order,
Ye Yunxi headed to the shelves and began filling shopping carts with instant noodles, self-heating hot pots, self-heating rice, potato chips, egg yolk pies, chocolates, biscuits, and all kinds of snacks.
She filled 30 shopping carts in total, nearly blocking the supermarket aisles!
People around her stared in shock. Some even pulled out their phones to take pictures, wondering which wealthy family this girl belonged to.
Ye Yunxi called over the supermarket staff to help push the carts to the checkout counter.
Faced with such a big spender, the staff didn't dare slack off. They quickly wheeled cart after cart to the counter, even arranging for her to use the VIP checkout lane.
Soon, the manager returned.
Ye Yunxi said, "Can you deliver all these things to my home?"
"Of course!" The manager beamed. "With such a large purchase, we'll provide the best service—not just delivery, but we'll even carry everything upstairs for you!"
"Oh, one more thing," Ye Yunxi added. "I'll take all the bottled water in your supermarket too."
The manager was stunned but quickly smiled again. "Miss, how much do you want?"
Ye Yunxi thought about it—water was the essence of survival—and said, "As much as you have."
In the end, the manager loaded 500 crates of bottled water for her, including the large 1-liter bottles.
The water alone filled an entire truck!
Combined with the rice, flour, instant noodles, and snacks, it took two more trucks to haul everything.
At checkout, Ye Yunxi even maxed out her credit card to cover the cost.
She wasn't worried about repayment—soon, money would become the most worthless thing in the world.
She remembered that by the time she died, barely two months into the apocalypse, a single pack of instant noodles was selling for 20 million yuan—and even then, it was nearly impossible to get.
Soon, the trucks arrived at her apartment building.
A dozen strong movers carried the supplies batch by batch into the elevator and up to her floor, then into her apartment.
The whole process took over four hours.
The movers were drenched in sweat, completely exhausted.
Ye Yunxi generously handed each of them 1,000 yuan: "Thank you for your hard work."
Their eyes lit up at the sight of the money, and they grinned widely:
"No trouble at all, miss! If you ever need movers again, just call us!"
