Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Earth, after a disaster five years ago, has severely impacted the human living environment.

Not only has the land area shrunk, but various resources such as land and water resources are also gradually becoming scarce.

Taking China as an example, desertification has begun to occur in the north, making it no longer suitable for human habitation.

All the people migrated to the south, where it is now hot all year round and there is no rain, and the rivers have dried up.

Land and water resources are controlled by the state. To purchase any food or water, each person must present their ID card daily, and there are quantity limits.

For these reasons, it's already a miracle that humans can maintain basic food and clothing; according to statistics, a large number of people die every year.

For the average person, after a month of work, their salary is barely enough to keep them from starving or dying of thirst, and finding a job is also very difficult.

For elderly people or children who are unable to work and rely on their families to survive, the family will face extreme hardship and may even be unable to survive.

In an apartment in China, a young girl wearing a simple white tank top and black shorts sat on the sofa.

Her skin was as white as snow, with a rosy glow, and she had bright, clear peach blossom eyes and exquisitely beautiful features.

He was fanning himself with a fan, but beads of sweat were still appearing on his forehead, and his handsome brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was annoyed by the heat.

In an instant, the girl's long eyelashes fluttered, and her figure disappeared into the apartment.

Zhong Ning entered the space and exhaled, "What the hell? Why is it so hot outside?"

She felt stuffy and hot as soon as she arrived, and the sticky feeling all over her body was very uncomfortable.

"Host, you should accept the memories first!" Xiao Qi said from the side.

Zhong Ning, now that she had cooled down, closed her eyes and slumped onto the sofa upon hearing this: "Pass it on!"

The original owner's name was Ji Su. She was originally an only child from a relatively wealthy family. Her parents loved each other and doted on her.

Unfortunately, due to the disaster five years ago, her family moved from the north to the south, and their family business also disappeared.

The family only had a few million yuan in liquid assets left. With resources and land becoming increasingly scarce, the family could only afford to buy an 80-square-meter studio apartment.

Buying is not an option, but renting is also incredibly expensive, and there's the possibility of being evicted by the landlord at any time. After all, there are still many wealthy people.

Ordinary people are finding it increasingly difficult, and even the wealthy are becoming ordinary. Fortunately, the government restricts the amount of supplies that can be purchased; otherwise, there would be no space for ordinary people to survive.

The money they had left was barely enough to sustain them for a year or two. The original owner was still studying, and once the money was gone, they would have to rely on their parents' hard work to support the family.

Two years later, the original owner's father collapsed due to the hot weather and the strain on his body.

The burden of the family fell entirely on my mother's shoulders. Within two years, she succumbed to the combined mental and physical stress and passed away.

Fortunately, the original owner was already an adult at that time. He survived on having a place to live and some money left by his parents. It took him half a year to find a job, which was just enough to keep him alive.

I also remember that on such hot days, electricity was only supplied for two hours each in the afternoon and evening, for a total of four hours a day, and water was supplied for two hours at nine o'clock in the evening.

It's only 8 a.m., and it's already this hot?

The memory ends there. Ji Su opened her eyes in confusion: "Xiao Qi, that's it? No male or female protagonists or world plot?"

Xiao Qi nodded and said, "Host, there is no plot in this world. I just asked the Heavenly Dao, and today a national destiny survival system will descend upon Blue Star."

"What happened? Tell me in detail?" Ji Su asked curiously.

Xiao Qi explained, "This is a very powerful system. It controls the entire Blue Star. It randomly selects people from various countries to enter the dungeon. The rewards that people receive inside and the rewards that are given when the dungeon ends will be manifested in their own country tenfold or a hundredfold."

"Would Heaven allow such a system to enter its world?" Ji Su was somewhat skeptical.

Xiao Qi laughed and said, "Hehe, host, you figured it out. Actually, the world's resources are becoming increasingly scarce. This is the support that Heaven has invited. However, they also have conditions. They can't give it away for free. You have to obtain it through your own abilities."

"Understood. So, what's our mission here?"

"I was just about to tell the host that the side mission of this world is to win glory for the country. Good luck, host."

Thinking that life is the same no matter where you are, and that this world is still somewhat new, Ji Su nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Xiao Qi continued, "By the way, host, let me mention that the situation of people entering the game can be seen throughout the entire Blue Star; it's like being broadcast live."

"I see. How many people will be selected? Is there an age limit?"

"Yes, the age range is eighteen to fifty. In the first round, each country will select five people. Would you like to enter the first round? I can arrange it."

"Let's go in, we're going anyway," Ji Su said after thinking for a moment.

"Ok, no problem."

After looking at himself, Ji Su decided not to change his appearance and left the space.

Once outside, she cast a spell on herself, and she could no longer feel the heat. The temperature was insulated around her, and a transparent barrier blocked the heat.

Thinking that the original owner hadn't been eating well, she decided to eat something she wanted. She took out the food Yunshang had made from her space, and after the meal, she ate half a watermelon, scooping it out with a spoon.

She quit her job; she no longer needed to go to work and would be entering dungeons from now on.

It was ten o'clock, and everyone on Earth, no matter what they were doing, heard a voice ringing in their minds.

[Ding! The National Fate Survival System has arrived. Everyone prepare yourselves. In half an hour, five people from each country will be randomly selected to enter the instance!]

The voice repeated itself three times, ignoring everyone's questions and opinions, and offering no further explanation.

Some people who frequently read novels or are struggling to survive find it exciting, knowing there must be some benefit to it. After all, life is too difficult these days, so it's better to take a chance than to suffer.

Of course, some people are afraid. The word "survival" implies unknown dangers, and there is no gain without pain.

High-level officials from various countries also held emergency meetings to discuss the matter.

During a high-level meeting in China, a respected elder sat at the head of the table, looking down at the people below.

"Tell me, what do you all think of this national survival system?"

The people below looked at each other in bewilderment. A middle-aged man sitting to the left of the old man spoke first: "Old Li, survival of national destiny should be related to survival of the nation's fortune."

Old Li didn't say anything, then looked at the others. A man wearing glasses also spoke up, "That's right, I think the same way as Lin Cheng."

"Is that all?" Old Li looked at so many people, but no one seemed to know anything else.
