Chapter 1

: Survival for All, I Head Straight to the Forbidden City

[Kidney Strengthening Area]

[The author's book features a recurring theme of seven entries and exits; it's recommended to add it to your bookshelf first.]

"Chen Yu, during that period... I slept with fifty-seven men."

"The pregnancy is absolutely true."

"No matter what, there's a chance it'll be yours, right?"

"If you still love me, and love the children."

"Then hand over the stuff, and we'll live on in your place..."

Those chilling words reached my ears.

Chen Yu felt only frustration.

The woman he protected with all his might and sacrificed everything turned out to be such a despicable slut.

His most trusted friend even stabbed him in the chest with his own hands.

Haha, how ironic.

"if..."

"If only I could do it all over again!"

"I will never waste another drop of emotion!"

"To hell with kindness!"

"Fuck trust!"

Chen Yu only wanted to be selfish, go crazy, and kill all the people he didn't like!

Not one left!

Not one left!

Not one left!

But there's no such thing as starting over...

What does it matter if it's just the repentance of a dying person?

...

...

"Chen Yu, let's break up."

My roommate... doesn't like you.

Such a lame reason for breaking up might make others laugh.

But Chen Yu remembered it vividly—

"Has the carousel reached this point...?"

This happened during my sophomore year.

He broke up with his first love, Li Mengyao, who was his ex-girlfriend, because of instigation from others.

Chen Yu remembered it very clearly.

Another important reason:

This day...

The end of the world is coming!

Everyone will be transported together into a vehicle according to the "organization"!

Embark on a journey to survive on an endless highway!

The mortality rate is extremely high!

The organizations referred to here can be departments, associations, families, classes, or even the military!

And everyone will awaken their talents!

The type and strength of your talent depend on the most powerful item around you before the apocalypse!

The energy here is strong, and it has many aspects!

Historical significance! Mysterious legends! Emotional resonance! Technological sophistication! Natural attributes!

Count them all!

Some people wear red ropes, hoping for their family's protection, and awaken an S-level defensive talent!

Someone was holding a dagger, exuding a menacing aura, having awakened their A-level hunting instincts!

Some people hold autographed baseballs from the championship team, embodying a fervent belief and awakening a spiritual impact!

certainly...

Some people, carrying only the most ordinary pen, were judged to be the strongest and awakened a D-level trash talent!

Even more extreme, during the day when the apocalypse was upon them, they awakened the B-rank [Humanoid Chicken King]!

Chen Yu, however, had nothing.

The most valuable thing he possessed, according to assessment, was a key to the warehouse of a part-time bubble tea shop...

As a result, he awakened the A-level talent [Petty Theft].

This talent allows you to gather resources from a distance, which is quite useful.

But foolishly, he devoted all the resources that his talent brought him to the debate club.

Especially the president, Zhang Zixuan.

He thought it was love and responsibility, but it turned out to be just wishful thinking on his part.

Thinking back now...

It was absolutely idiotic to believe that she was pregnant with my child.

"Chen Yu? Chen Yu!"

"Are you even listening to me?!"

"Buzz—"

When Chen Yu opened his eyes completely, what he saw was a table of Western food.

There was also an unusually bright light.

Across the table was a pretty girl wearing a short skirt and a knitted vest.

"Is it really you, Li Mengyao?"

Chen Yu frowned, not understanding why he had suddenly appeared in the restaurant.

and many more!

Chen Yu's pupils suddenly contracted!

"The day we broke up was at a Western restaurant!"

'Could what I just heard have been true?'

It's not a revolving lantern!

I was really reborn?

Chen Yu suddenly stood up!

He swallowed hard and quickly started searching for his phone on the table!

Until the numbers above are displayed:

June 21, 2027

15:10

Absolutely correct!

Chen Yu could no longer contain his excitement!

7 PM tonight!

Everyone's fighting for survival!

I've traveled back to before the apocalypse!

It's not too late!

I even have an entire afternoon to prepare!

Are you alright?

Li Mengyao pursed her lips: "Don't get upset, Chen Yu?"

She suddenly felt a little scared.

If Chen Yu goes completely insane, wouldn't I become a sinner?

But she clearly overestimated her own status.

From the moment Chen Yu woke up until now... his mind has been filled with nothing but murder, murder, murder!

"Go back to school and wipe out the entire debate club?"

"No, no..."

"Control yourself!"

"If you kill someone and end up in a detention center, struggling to survive alongside other prisoners, that's not a pleasant prospect..."

Chen Yu took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his urge to kill.

Now is not the time.

After all, with modern technology, catching a murderer can take less than an afternoon.

You must never ruin yourself because of a moment of impulse.

The most urgent task is to monetize the information gap that has been reborn.

And those people in the debate club...

After the apocalypse, those who are meant to meet will meet again.

That will be my home turf.

Whether to slowly torture or kick someone to death is up to you.

"Haicheng, what has the strongest energy?"

Positive energy or negative energy, both are fine, as long as there's substance...

Try your luck at the secondhand market?

Or should we go check out the abandoned hospital?

A funeral street might be able to...

If that doesn't work, how about lying on a luxury car parked on the side of the road?

Wait, we could also try getting a legal red book!

Chen Yu considered many possibilities, and they were all actually quite good!

Although he wasn't as lucky as those who ended up in a museum, Chen Yu had no other choice!

Haicheng is barren; where can you find famous paintings and artifacts?

"etc!"

"Why limit yourself to Haicheng when you have plenty of time to prepare?"

"As long as the distance isn't too far, I can get there myself..."

Chen Yu's head buzzed; he had discovered a new world!

Once the area is opened up, there will be a lot of powerful things available!

A museum? The Simuwu Ding!

Art museum? Animal heads!

Fengmen Village? A bizarre statue!

Just then, a place instantly popped into my mind!

"The Forbidden City!"

Chen Yu's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right! How come I only thought of that now!"

Nowhere is more suitable for awakening than the Forbidden City!

The center of imperial power for six hundred years!

Twenty-four emperors ruled over the land here!

The gilded dragon throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony has witnessed countless power struggles and the cycle of destiny!

Its energy—

It's not a legend, it's historical fact!

This isn't a ghost story; it's a matter of national destiny!

Chen Yu clenched his fist!

As long as you turn that dragon throne that has been dormant for six hundred years into your own awakening medium, it will be hard not to take off!

after all,

Whether the rumors are true or false is not important!

The important thing is that this energy is strong enough!

Chen Yu took a deep breath and quickly swiped to unlock his phone...

It only takes a little over two hours by high-speed rail from Haicheng to the Forbidden City!

It's 15:10 now...

in time!

He has to sit on it!
