Mu Cheng clenched her fists and strode down the hallway, leaving the school.
According to how things unfolded in her previous life, the apocalypse would descend tonight. Not only would those who were already coughing up blood turn into flesh-eating zombies, but anyone who came into contact with that blood would also transform into zombies tonight.
She had to leave the school now. Otherwise, once those people turned into zombies, escaping would become much more difficult. Moreover, she still had many things to retrieve, so she had no intention of fleeing together with them at this moment.
Mu Cheng left the school and took a taxi back to the Mu family old residence.
There was no one here. After her parents passed away, she rarely came back. She usually stayed at school, and during holidays she would go to the Cheng family with Cheng Jiang.
Her father and Cheng Jiang’s father were classmates. They started a business together and founded a company. Later, they even arranged a marriage contract between their children. Since childhood, she had liked Cheng Jiang—who was one year older than her—and had followed him everywhere.
So she had never opposed the engagement arranged by her parents.
After her parents died, she trusted the Cheng family more than her own aunt and even moved into the Cheng household.
It was only when she and a group of ordinary people without abilities were hung on the city walls as bait to attract a zombie horde that she finally realized the truth.
Cheng Jiang never loved her.
On that day, her parents had gone to the Cheng family to call off the engagement, because they had been persuaded by her uncle-in-law and did not want Mu Cheng to marry Cheng Jiang. At the time, Cheng Hongwei had agreed very readily. But after her parents left the Cheng household, he arranged for a truck to wait on the road and deliberately crash into them, killing them both.
For seven years—she had been calling her enemies family for seven years, and in the end, she died just like her parents, at the hands of this same family.
Everything from the past felt like fishbones stuck in her heart—painful and suffocating.
She had already been reborn for half a year.
During these six months, she had still been acting the part of a good girl—being Cheng Jiang’s girlfriend, Lin Xiaomi’s best friend, and the obedient future daughter-in-law of the Cheng couple. All of this was so she could see whether, without her spatial storage, they would still live as comfortably as in her previous life.
Mu Cheng placed her right hand on the rosewood sofa, and the sofa instantly vanished from its spot, entering her spatial storage.
On her right ring finger was a bronze-colored ring. It was a family heirloom of the Mu family. After the apocalypse, she accidentally dripped blood onto it, binding it as its owner—only then did she realize it was a spatial storage artifact.
Her space was as large as a football field. It was an independent world with fresh air, a house that could never be filled no matter how much was stored inside, a patch of fertile land, a natural hot spring, and a small stream that continuously circulated around the space.
The water from that stream could suppress corpse virus toxicity. In her previous life, she had used it to save many people who were scratched or bitten by zombies. Yet in the end, those very people not only refused to save her, but even became Cheng Jiang’s accomplices and kicked her while she was down.
Mu Cheng looked at her hands, then at the abundant supplies in her space, a faint smile curling at the corner of her lips.
In her previous life, Cheng Hongwei tricked her into handing over her shares. In this life, she used them to her advantage—taking all available funds from the Shuangke Group and stockpiling massive amounts of supplies. And she vowed that not even a single biscuit would be shared with the Cheng family.
She stored all the furniture and items in the house into her space. Then she went to the kitchen and took out more than a dozen large water barrels, each as tall as a person.
The spring water in her space was inexhaustible, but it had powerful effects—it could improve a person’s health, help ordinary people awaken abilities, and make ability users stronger than others.
Such a precious resource—she had no intention of letting others benefit from it. So she planned to prepare ordinary tap water for future use instead.
