Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

Chapter 5 Spatial Abilities

For ten consecutive days, Long Yangyang purchased large quantities of supplies in Myanmar, Thailand, and other places. She single-handedly nearly doubled the prices in several Southeast Asian countries.

We also stockpiled about three tons of gasoline.

After obtaining 1,000 energy points, Long Yangyang generously spent 10 energy points to expand her space by 1,000 square meters.

According to the setting, in the extremely hot post-apocalyptic world, food will quickly rot, and ordinary humans will face food shortages for a long time.

Looking at the space filled with fruit, rice, flour, drinking water, and other daily necessities that might not be produced again in the future, Long Yangyang thought to herself, "That's great. I won't have to go hungry for the next few years."

"Xiao Fei, why hasn't this person woken up yet?"

Long Yangyang looked at the man lying quietly on the bed, like a sleeping beauty.

His jet-black hair fell softly over his forehead. His eyes were closed, and his long, slightly curled eyelashes resembled black butterflies with drooping wings, giving him an unusually stunning beauty.

A high, straight nose, thin lips pursed into a faint curve, exquisitely crafted features, a cool and aloof yet wicked air, appearing extremely contradictory, unforgettable at first glance, breathtakingly beautiful.

After rescuing the person, what Long Yangyang was most satisfied with was the person's cleaned-up face.

What a beauty! Long Yangyang is obsessed with looks. If it weren't for her face, she would have sent her to the hospital long ago and wouldn't have cared about her at all.

Not to mention taking care of the other person, even if it's just providing them with a bed to lie on.

[The Star Source Energy has not yet completed the body transformation.]

Star Source Energy? Long Yangyang had already learned from Xiao Fei that Star Source Energy was the cause of the apocalypse.

Long Yangyang recalled the meteor shower on April 1st from her memory.

According to Xiao Fei's explanation, the meteor shower carried many star crystals that fell onto the planet.

Star crystals are the energy cores of a planet. Star crystals that enter Earth from meteor showers merge with Earth's star energy, promoting global evolution.

Evolution is divided into three categories: one is that physical fitness is improved, which is the ordinary people after the apocalypse; another is that humans gain special abilities, which is the superhumans; and the third is that the body is corrupted and goes in another direction of evolution, which is the zombie.

Most of the star source crystals flowed into Earth and were absorbed by Earth's star source. Only a small portion of the star source fragments remained on the surface because they had little energy and Earth's star source didn't want them.

“Xiao Fei,” Long Yangyang looked curiously at the stunningly handsome man on the other bed who hadn’t eaten or drunk anything for ten days but was still alive, “what do you think will happen if he doesn’t wake up?”

[Either the Star Source Energy transformation is complete, granting exceptional talent; or the body cannot withstand the Star Source Energy, decaying and turning into a zombie.]

Zombies?

Looking at the face of this extraordinary being—the first time she had seen it in two lifetimes—Long Yangyang sighed inwardly at the thought of it decaying: "Is there no way to fix it?"

No, based on my judgment, Earthlings have poor physical fitness. This person has been in close contact with star energy for at least three days. Even if special materials suppress some of the energy, the success rate is less than 30%. The chance of successfully modifying this person's body is less than 10%, and there is a 90% chance that he will become a zombie.

Yangyang, I suggest you stay away from this person. A zombie modified with Star Source Energy might be even more powerful than the zombie king that appears later in the book.

Long Yangyang: What's going on?

Even more powerful than the Zombie King, isn't that the Zombie Emperor? There's no mention of such a person in the book. Xiao Fei, are you kidding me? Long Yangyang complained.

If you hadn't saved him, he would have been devoured by wolves long ago.

Long Yangyang: ...You mean, my little wings accidentally created a zombie king in the apocalypse?

Xiao Fei: That's right.

Sleeping Beauty Fu Muyu: I might not become a zombie yet.

Long Yangyang stretched out her finger and poked the man's cheek; it felt so good.

With such a delicate feel, Long Yangyang had no idea that the person would necessarily turn into a zombie, after all, there was no sign of decay in the other person's body in the past ten days.

"Xiao Fei, you said that Star Source Energy can modify the human body. I also took a Star Source Fragment back then, but I didn't feel anything at all?"

Xiao Fei: [You're so dense! Didn't you notice? Your spatial ability has awakened these past few days, and it's even merged with the space I created for you!]

Huh? Such a good thing?

No wonder I've been feeling tired at night after packing up my things lately, and I've been sleeping for ten hours instead of the usual seven or eight.

"Spatial ability? What a useless thing." With the space opened up by Xiao Fei, Long Yangyang naturally looked down on spatial abilities that could only be used to store things.

After all, they have no ability to protect themselves. In a post-apocalyptic world that tests humanity, how could they possibly entrust their lives to others?

The initial size of the space where spatial ability users awaken, as described in the book, varies depending on the strength of their cultivation talent, but the largest is only 200 ping (approximately 333 square meters).

Even if the ability is upgraded, the space size will also increase, but it is not as convenient as Xiao Fei's space expansion.

Xiao Fei: [You're so ignorant. After being modified by Star Source Energy, how could your spatial ability be used only for storage? As long as you train properly, you can achieve anything from teleportation to creating spatial barriers and spatial blades.]

Upon hearing this, Long Yangyang's eyes lit up: "Really? It can attack and teleport?"

Long Yangyang no longer felt that her superpower was useless; on the contrary, she was eager to try it out and couldn't wait to test her abilities right now.

Unfortunately, Long Yangyang currently only has the ability to store items; she has no other spatial abilities.

Ten more days passed, and the space that Long Yangyang had expanded was almost filled with supplies, but the man on the bed still showed no signs of waking up.

Long Yangyang checked her phone; today was July 12th.

There are less than three days left until the end of the world.

News reports of vicious attacks have begun to surface, and although the news is quickly suppressed, Long Yangyang knows that those people are zombies.

For the past week, Song Ying had been urging Long Yangyang to come home quickly. Ten or more phone calls a day showed that the impending apocalypse was indeed foreshadowed.

In recent days, prices in Myanmar have skyrocketed, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets.

"Ling ring ring~"

Hearing the phone ring, Long Yangyang knew without guessing that it was Song Ying calling, and the content was always the same: urging Long Yangyang to hurry home.

"Mom, I'm on my way home." Long Yangyang pressed the answer button and, hearing the concerned words on the other end, replied, "Don't worry."

"Okay, okay," Song Ying's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally calmed down after hearing Long Yangyang's reply. "Yangyang, Mom has finished decorating the two villas in Xiyue Manor."

The supplies you asked us to prepare, and a lot of them for the villa, have all been purchased. Today, the whole family moved to Xiyue Villa. Mom has been feeling uneasy lately; I don't know what your father and brothers are busy with outside, they don't come home until very late.

You're all alone out there, come back quickly! Where are you? Should we send someone to pick you up and take you home?

Looking at the motionless person on the opposite bed, Long Yangyang thought: I'll wait three more days. If this person really turns into a zombie after the apocalypse, I'll leave.

After all, she had taken someone else's things, and whether that person lived or died was something Long Yangyang was prepared to see through to the end.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. You don't need to send anyone to pick me up. I'll be back soon."
