The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System
Chapter 268 The Standard Features of a Strong Female Lead
Zhao Jinxin is seventeen years old this year. She is an orphan and was in her final year of high school when the earthquake struck.
The massive earthquake was followed by torrential rains, causing widespread flooding.
The whole scene looked like the end of the world.
Zhao Jinxin believes that if the internet still existed, the entire internet would be discussing the impending apocalypse.
Having read many post-apocalyptic novels, Zhao Jinxin felt a mix of fear, anticipation, and excitement as she witnessed the impending doom of the world.
She felt that her background and age were standard features of a leading lady.
She even fantasized about what superpowers she would awaken when the apocalypse came, and whether she would obtain the divine artifact space that countless people longed for.
But the torrential rain lasted for a month, the floods raged for a month, countless people died, and she was starving in the cave, yet she still did not awaken her supernatural abilities, nor did she obtain any space or system.
Just two days after the torrential rain, everyone was trapped in their dilapidated homes, unable to buy food or find any. They could only eat the food stored at home and actively searched for food from other residents in the same building.
As soon as the torrential rain started, Zhao Jinxin wondered if the apocalypse had arrived, so she took the opportunity to enter an uninhabited room to find food. After the earthquake, many houses were buried underground, and many others collapsed, making it easy to enter such a house.
After Zhao Jinxin and her best friend Zhao Jinyue, who came from the same orphanage, secretly collected enough supplies, they braved the heavy rain and headed up the mountain together.
As they reached the hilltop behind the rented house, they saw the raging floodwaters below sweeping away many houses that had been destroyed by the earthquake.
Their former neighbors were probably all lost in this terrible flood.
Everything down the mountain was like hell.
Zhao Jinxin and Zhao Jinyue spent this difficult month in a cave.
A full month passed, and both of them painfully and desperately admitted that they were ultimately not the main characters, but merely cannon fodder and extras.
After the rain stopped, everything got better.
People started to come out one after another.
Although not everyone died as Zhao Jinxin and Zhao Jinyue had initially thought, very few people survived the disaster.
Several burly men shouted that this was the end of the world. The earthquake destroyed everything, and the great flood crushed everything the earthquake had destroyed again. The country had come to a standstill, and many people had died, including a large number of People's Liberation Army soldiers. Therefore, this time, no more People's Liberation Army soldiers would come out to rescue people.
In this terrifying apocalyptic world, the fittest will survive. Now that the great flood has just passed, who knows what other disasters may come in the future.
If we want to survive, we must unite, stick together, and live as a group.
This line of thinking is indeed correct, especially since a full month has passed and the People's Liberation Army has still not arrived.
Zhao Jinxin and Zhao Jinyue, along with the other survivors, followed the three burly men led by Brother Li to find a place to settle down.
They were divided into different groups and assigned different tasks.
Li Ge and his team detected that one subway station had not collapsed and remained standing, but it was filled with silt carried by the flood.
Unsure of what kind of disaster might befall them, Brother Li and his group decided to excavate the subway station for everyone to rest temporarily. They planned to then build a base several kilometers in radius around the subway station, creating an impregnable stronghold.
After the disaster, everyone lost their homes. Knowing that they needed to build a base like in the novel, everyone was excited and thought they had chosen the right person to follow.
Zhao Jinxin and Zhao Jinyue were assigned to dig out the silt in the subway.
This was hard work, but the two of them dug very hard in order to survive.
Finally, the silt in the subway station was dug out, and everyone was delighted to discover that it was a transfer station with a large space underneath for everyone to live in.
Just when Zhao Jinxin and Zhao Jinyue thought things would gradually get better, they soon discovered that the team assigned to dig for supplies all had injuries on their faces.
According to well-informed people, he was injured while fighting with other forces for supplies.
With the apocalypse approaching, it's uncertain whether even 100 million of the 1.5 billion people in Dongda University will survive. Even if there are fewer than 100 million people, a massive amount of resources are needed to feed them.
All factories have shut down, almost all roads have been destroyed by the earthquake, making it impossible to produce supplies or quickly contact other places. The only chance for everyone to survive is the supplies buried underground in the city.
Some supplies were buried very deep, and some were contaminated by the virus, further reducing the amount that could be eaten.
Everyone knew that supplies meant survival, so everyone did their best to find supplies.
Because Zhao Jinxin and Zhao Jinyue were young and weak girls, they were not assigned to the front line to dig for supplies. Instead, they stayed in the rear where everyone felt it was safe to dig for supplies.
During the process of digging for supplies, the people on the front lines clashed with other factions several times.
That was bad enough, but then a group of people from the Chrysanthemum Country and the Kimchi Country landed on the east side, wanting to take over the land.
As a result, clashes between factions became more frequent.
Just when everyone was itching to eliminate the other and preserve their base, the scorching heat arrived.
The heat came suddenly. After everyone got up, ate breakfast, chatted happily for a few minutes, and then dug for supplies in the riddled ground as usual.
The temperature rose rapidly, and Zhao Jinxin and Zhao Jinyue soon realized that the temperature was unusually high and they couldn't bear it any longer.
Not only the two of them, but the others who were digging for supplies were also drenched in sweat, their faces flushed, and struggling to breathe.
Their leader was called Sister Mei. Before the apocalypse, she was a businesswoman with considerable skills and a kind heart. Seeing that everyone was unbearably hot, she quickly called it a day off and told everyone to go back to the subway line to rest for a while until the temperature dropped a bit before coming out again.
Zhao Jinxin, Zhao Jinyue, and the others managed to escape unscathed.
Those who were digging for supplies and fighting on the outermost perimeter returned the latest.
When this group returned, the noise caused everyone in the base to crane their necks to see what was going on.
Because the outside temperature suddenly rose to an unprecedentedly high level, several people suffered heatstroke and died after being brought back.
Although many people have died in major earthquakes and floods, this time they witnessed it with their own eyes, so everyone felt panicked.
Most people in the base had read the online article, so they made connections to the earthquake, the flood, and the current heatwave. They believed that the heatwave would likely continue.
Just as everyone expected, it got hotter and hotter outside, making it impossible to go out during the day.
Even inside the subway station, everyone was still unbearably hot, and many people were so uncomfortable that they secretly cried.
But Brother Li was very unhappy. His men shouted, and no one dared to cry anymore.
When night fell, Li Ge sent people to carefully explore the ground. They found that the temperature had indeed dropped after nightfall, making it suitable for everyone to survive and move around.
