June 29, 2035, less than two days before [Doomsday Dawn] descended upon the world.
Early in the morning, Chen Han was jolted awake by a ringing phone.
He thought it was that crazy woman Xiao Rou, but it turned out to be Gangzi.
“Han bro, I’m at your door.
I brought the goods too.”
“Just come in.
Unload everything on the football field.”
Gangzi had the electronic passcode to his gate, but the guy was always very proper.
Even though their relationship was like real brothers, Gangzi always respected him greatly.
After entering society, Gangzi suffered a lot because he was too honest.
Later, after Chen Han became successful, he directly opened a five-star hotel for him.
Gangzi was extremely grateful.
In his previous life, Chen Han always felt guilty about Gangzi’s death.
In this life, he was determined to make it up to him.
And Gangzi’s cooking skills were top-tier—he would rely on him for food in the apocalypse.
In the apocalypse, the cook must be someone he completely trusted—otherwise, he wouldn’t dare eat.
Stepping out of the villa, a slightly chubby, strong guy walked up with a grin.
“Han bro, everything’s here—one thousand tons of beef, one thousand tons of pork, plus all sorts of fresh meat, seafood, and more.”
“I also brought all kinds of snacks.”
“Good job.”
Chen Han patted Gangzi’s shoulder, then turned his eyes to the mountain of food.
Canned goods, sausages, instant noodles…
Snickers, Dove, Xu Fuji candies…
Three Squirrels, Bestore, Be&Cheery—the three major snack brands.
All kinds of dried fruits, meat jerky, nuts…
Chips, spicy strips, soda…
Seeing all this, Chen Han smiled.
Now this was real food!
He clearly remembered that in the early days after the game descended, the dropped food was always fruit paste, beef jerky, expired bread—disgusting stuff!
“Han bro, can you at least tell me what’s going on?
You’ve prepared so much that you could never finish it in a lifetime!”
Gangzi understood Chen Han well—he would never do something stupid.
But selling the company, spending heavily in a mobile game, hoarding this much food… the whole thing left Gangzi stunned.
Was this really something his big bro would do?
“It’s hard to explain right now.
You’ll understand tomorrow night.”
“Stay here these two days and play games with me.”
Gangzi nodded helplessly.
Even without being asked, he would’ve stayed.
He needed to keep an eye on Chen Han—this behavior was way too strange.
Meanwhile, all the activity attracted the attention of the neighbors.
Even though he lived in a private estate, there were still many wealthy people nearby.
Sure enough, four luxury cars arrived one after another.
Three men dressed in high-end suits stepped out of the cars.
Li Chuanqi, real estate tycoon of Jianghai City.
He Dongfa, new media giant of Jianghai City.
Lü Bufan, clothing mogul of Jianghai City.
Seeing the three, a gloomy look flashed across Chen Han’s face.
Their past connections ran deep.
Because in his previous life, these people were the ones who killed him!
After the apocalypse arrived last time, because they all knew one another and were neighbors, they teamed up to survive.
But unexpectedly, that bitch Xiao Rou teamed up with them to betray and kill him, stealing all his resources.
“Han bro, long time no see!”
A pure and seductive short-skirted girl jumped out of the last car.
Ling Xue helped a man around fifty out of the car, then greeted Chen Han with an innocent smile.
Chen Han smiled as well.
His heart trembled slightly as he looked at the girl.
Ling Xue—last life, she was tortured to death by Xiao Rou while protecting him.
In the end, she died in his arms, finally saying the words she had always kept hidden.
But everything was too late.
Chen Han watched her die before his eyes.
Thinking of those memories, Chen Han clenched his fist.
Now that he had been reborn, he would definitely avenge her!
Returning to his senses, he looked at the man beside Ling Xue—the richest man in Jianghai City, Ling Feng!
He didn’t expect him to show up too.
These four men could shake Jianghai City with a single step.
The only reason Chen Han managed to sell his company so quickly was because of these people.
“Chen Han, my young friend, what are you up to?” Li Chuanqi asked, eyeing the mountain of supplies with interest.
“Stockpiling supplies?
What, is it the end of the world?” Lü Bufan mocked bluntly.
“Stockpiling?
He probably plans to stay home and play games for the rest of his life!” He Dongfa sneered.
Hearing this, the three burst into laughter.
They were all players of [Doomsday Dawn]—they naturally knew what Chen Han was doing.
They were convinced Chen Han had lost his mind from gaming.
Ling Feng, who had remained silent, furrowed his brows and sighed inwardly.
“Chen Han, you’ve truly disappointed me.”
Ling Feng shook his head.
He had high hopes for this rising star and had even considered marrying his daughter to him.
Even when Chen Han sold the company, Ling Feng supported him.
He trusted that Chen Han had his own plans.
But this result left him bitterly disappointed.
“Sigh.”
Letting out a deep sigh, Ling Feng turned and got back into the car.
“Xue’er, let’s go.”
Seeing this, Chen Han felt a little sad.
This was the person he respected the most; much of what he had today was thanks to Ling Feng’s support.
He knew Ling Feng was disappointed—but it didn’t matter.
Once the apocalypse arrived, everything would become clear.
Ling Xue pouted.
“Dad, I want to stay and play with Han bro for a while.
You go home first!”
A few minutes later, the four luxury cars left.
Ling Xue clasped her hands behind her back and hopped toward him.
Her pretty face showed an expression of “I understand everything.”
“Selling the company to get cash, stockpiling supplies… the apocalypse is coming, right?”
“And you invested heavily in the game because the apocalypse is related to [Doomsday Dawn]?”
Hearing this, Chen Han’s eyes widened.
“How did you know?”
Ling Xue gave a wise little smile.
“Heh, so I guessed right!”
“Just like in those novels!”
Chen Han: …
“So, do you believe it?”
Ling Xue blinked and looked seriously into Chen Han’s eyes.
“I don’t believe in this nonsense apocalypse, but I believe you!”
Chen Han affectionately patted Ling Xue’s head.
“Tell me, how much money is in your secret stash?”
Ling Xue smiled sweetly and raised one finger.
“One million?”
“Guess again?”
“Ten million?” Chen Han was surprised—did a university student have that much savings?
“No no no, you underestimate me—it’s one hundred million!”
Chen Han: …
Truly worthy of being the daughter of Jianghai City’s richest man!
“Recharge it all into the game.
From now on, you’ll be the world’s second richest person!”
“Okay!” Ling Xue happily took out her phone and opened the game.
[Honorable VIP6 player “Loli Sweetheart”, you have recharged 100 million for “Suit Thug”.]
[Loli Sweetheart and Suit Thug have reached intimacy level: ‘Life-and-Death Partners’.]
[Life-and-Death Partners: When players fight together, Attack +10%, Defense +10%, Speed +10%, Psynergy +10%.]
Hearing the system notification, Chen Han froze.
Ling Xue hooked her arm around his and smiled sweetly.
“Let’s go, let’s play.
I’m already level 39.”
Seeing this, Gangzi was completely stunned.
Damn, Missy, how come you’ve gone crazy with him too?
Gangzi shook his head helplessly.
Forget it—let him do whatever he wants.
No matter how wildly he spent money, Gangzi still had a five-star hotel.
That alone could keep Chen Han fed for a lifetime.
Just as the three were about to enter the villa, a sharp voice yelled from behind.
“Chen Han, stop right there!”
“Are you insane?
Why did you buy so much stuff?”
Xiao Rou finally arrived, with a blond guy next to her.
The blond guy rolled up his sleeves the moment he saw Chen Han and charged toward him without hesitation.
