After finishing a day of hoarding supplies, Bai Yaoyao looked at the list she had made that night and realized that despite being busy all day, she hadn’t actually bought much.
She had only solved a portion of the food problem; there were still too many things she hadn’t purchased.
So, she did some dedicated research. She decided not to buy water, meat, vegetables, or fruit in Japan—the nuclear radiation was just too disgusting.
The main goal for tomorrow was to purchase various daily necessities. To save time, she decided against shopping in person again.
She edited a text message and sent it to Li Hua: “2,000 each of microwave ovens, induction cooktops, electric cookers, woks, and frying pans. 5,000 sets of tableware, 100,000 sets of disposable tableware. Fifty thousand tents, fifty thousand sets of bedding and pillows, ten thousand boxes of large toilet paper rolls, ten thousand boxes of small packs, ten thousand boxes of soft cotton tissues, ten thousand boxes of face masks, five thousand boxes of sanitary napkins. Ten thousand hot water bags, ten thousand thermoses, five thousand boxes of laundry detergent, ten thousand sets of toothbrushes and toothpaste, ten thousand combs and hair ties. Also, twenty thousand each of sunscreen, facial cleanser, and lotion.”
After making sure she had written down everything she needed, Bai Yaoyao hit send. She then opened her navigation app to check the location of the Yasukuni Shrine and found that it wasn’t far from her hotel. She planned to go scout it out tomorrow.
Before bed, she called Fatty to confirm they were both safe, which set her mind at ease.
Bai Yaoyao felt her thoughts were very clear now, having awakened from the confusion of her recent rebirth. No matter how incredible her rebirth was, she would definitely seize this opportunity and do everything in her power to lead her brothers through this apocalypse.
In the early stages of the apocalypse, the zombies were relatively stupid, didn’t form groups, and moved very slowly. Any normal person with a tool and the courage to fight could defeat them.
Therefore, having a stable place to live was very important. It would allow for better rest at night, which would make it easier to absorb Crystals.
She took out her phone, opened a map of Huaguo, and decided to set up her first base in H City. It was considered the northernmost part of Huaguo. Although it was rather remote, a special Mutated Tree had appeared there in her previous life.
It had devoured an unknown number of humans and zombies, eventually gaining the ability to move. By the time she died, neither the ability users nor the officials had been able to eliminate it, making it a grave threat to humanity.
So this time, she would simply go and either claim it or destroy it right after it awakened.
Traveling from H City towards the main base of Huaguo in A City, the various resources along the way would be enough for everyone to level up. They just needed to reach A City by the fourth year of the apocalypse.
Starting from the fourth year, intelligent zombies began to appear, launching large-scale, organized sieges on cities.
Some might think that with a rebirth, it would be better to just hoard enough food, drinks, and entertainment, and stay in the space dimension forever. It would be safe and quite pleasant.
But Bai Yaoyao had an adventurous and unyielding nature. If she lost once, she couldn’t lose a second time.
She hoped that when the apocalypse ended, she could still be a lazy assassin, taking on a few jobs here and there and taking a vacation when she was tired. Or maybe she could get a government job—9 to 5, with full benefits. The thought alone was comforting.
Once Bai Yaoyao had decided on the first base, she called Peiqi back in Huaguo.
“Hello, Yaoyao-jie! I miss you! I haven’t seen you in a week. I want kisses and hugs!”
Bai Yaoyao smiled. Peiqi was a little sweetheart, the darling of their group. Her public profession was a psychiatrist, and she was very skilled at hypnosis. In the previous life, she had awakened a Healing Ability and served as the team’s support, commonly known as the healer.
“Peiqi, I have a mission for you.”
“Okay, Yaoyao-jie, go ahead,” the cloyingly sweet, coquettish voice instantly returned to normal.
“Sell all the properties under your name, then go to the vicinity of Fengming Mountain in H City and buy a large villa, big enough for everyone in our organization to live in. Then, upgrade the house’s security to the highest level. Make all the glass and doors bulletproof. It would be best if there aren’t many people around, somewhere secluded. After you’ve done all that, keep enough for your basic living expenses and transfer the rest of the money to my account.”
“Roger that, Yaoyao-jie. I’ll start right away!” After hearing the instructions, Peiqi hung up without another word. She didn’t ask a single extra question. If an explanation was needed, Yaoyao-jie would have given it. Since she hadn’t, it meant the time wasn’t right, so there was no need to ask.
This was the trust and tacit understanding built over twenty years together. The apocalypse was harsh, but Bai Yaoyao felt very fortunate to have her brothers by her side.
Bai Yaoyao loved to travel all over the world and had never bought a single property. Peiqi preferred a slightly calmer life; when not on a mission, she would obediently go to work, earning a monthly salary of 6,800, and hoard houses in her spare time.
At current housing prices, her properties were worth close to a hundred million. If she didn’t sell them now, it would be a huge loss.
Only after arranging everything did Bai Yaoyao allow herself to lie down and sleep.
The next morning, Bai Yaoyao left the hotel. She first went to the restaurant from yesterday to pick up the food she had ordered, then took a taxi to the vicinity of the Yasukuni Shrine to scout the location. The bomb’s explosion diameter was 200 meters, but the shrine’s area was about 100,000 square meters…
She was now very proficient in controlling her space, and the maximum distance she could place an object was also 200 meters.
So, she found the location of the main hall and carefully observed the key surroundings. The main hall was where the “dogshit” (war criminals) were enshrined, with a mirror and a sword as their symbols.
She chose this spot as the bomb placement point, confident that her client, Wang Fugui, would also be satisfied.
When the bomb detonated, she would have to run out amidst the chaos at the first opportunity. If she couldn’t get out, she would put on an act. Her records were clean; she was just an ordinary young woman from an orphanage.
With so many tourists at the shrine every day, suspicion would never fall on her.
With the plan confirmed, Bai Yaoyao went to the warehouse she had rented yesterday.
Li Hua called to say that the things she ordered had begun to be shipped and would arrive shortly.
The timing was perfect. Just as she arrived, the trucks did too.
After the workers unloaded the goods, they left. Bai Yaoyao specifically conducted random checks on some of the items and found no problems. It seemed Li Hua was quite reliable.
Bai Yaoyao stayed in the warehouse, bored, for the entire day as trucks came and went. It wasn’t until 8 p.m. that everything she had ordered the day before was delivered, including the items she had texted Li Hua about last night and the sugar Xiaomi had bought from the black market.
As soon as perishable items arrived, Bai Yaoyao stored them in her space. The front of the warehouse was blocked by sacks of rice and flour, so even if someone came by, they wouldn’t see anything.
Once all the goods had arrived, Bai Yaoyao quickly stored everything, locked the warehouse door, and prepared to leave.
The moment she left the warehouse, she noticed someone was following her. Their concealment technique was quite good. If it weren’t for her heightened sensitivity to her space, she might not have detected them all right away. It was clear they were regulars in the underworld.
Unsure if they had guns, Bai Yaoyao didn’t dare to act rashly. But before she had even walked 50 meters, they couldn’t hold back any longer. It was five men, with no weapons in hand and no one lying in ambush.
Once she confirmed this, Bai Yaoyao confidently made her move.
She transferred a dagger from her space to her pocket and went straight for the kill. There were no superfluous moves; almost every strike was fatal.
Bai Yaoyao had been trained in the art of killing. Showing mercy was impossible. However, she did leave one alive to question him about the situation.
