"I... I’ve been reincarnated?"
Lu Wen Hao blinked his eyes open and looked around. Everything felt so familiar.
He picked up the phone that was sat on the table and looked at the date. It was the 1st of March.
There were only three months left until doomsday arrived.
Lu Wen Hao sat up on his bed, and began to recall everything from his past life.
In his previous life, doomsday came on the 1st of June, a day the Earth was overtaken by catastrophe.
On that day, despite the sweltering heat, he took his child on a Ferris wheel trip at the amusement park when black hail the size of ping-pong balls started falling from the sky.
The hail was so big that it shattered car windows and the living room windows of every house. No one could escape its wrath.
The city was soon shrouded in dense fog, the visibility dropping to less than five meters.
The temperature in the air also plummeted to sub-zero degrees.
Under such appalling weather conditions, nobody wanted to venture out.
Everyone remained at home, hoping that the severe weather would soon pass.
But, as you can imagine, everyone ended up trapped in their homes. Food supplies dwindled to nothing, leaving people to die of hunger and thirst in the end.
Some families even reached the point of such extreme hunger, they turned on the weaker members of their own households!
And Lu Wen Hao, in his previous life, was cruelly dismembered by his father-in-law's family and thrown into a pot to be cooked.
Thinking back to his past life, Lu Wen-hao shivered in remembrance, the heart-wrenching pain seemed to still linger in his memory.
"Since I've reincarnated, I definitely cannot let the events of my previous life happen again! I need to make money, hoard an entire lifetime's worth of food, water and supplies. I also need to build an absolutely reliable safe house to protect against hail and those who desire to seize my possessions."
As for making money, he already had a plan in mind.
Start with the stock market!
He was an amateur stock trader, always passionate about studying the direction of stocks.
In the next three months, he basically knew which stocks would surge.
However, trading stocks needed capital, so he decided to buy a lottery ticket on the spot.
In his past life, he bought the next round's lottery ticket and only missed the jackpot by two numbers. It was an event that left a deep impression on him.
As long as he bought the same numbers one hundred times, he would be able to win the current highest lottery pool amount, which should be more than two billion!
With this money, investing into the stock market, the next three months should be enough for him to prepare his provisions.
But what is urgently needed now is another matter.
That is to get a divorce!
On his deathbed in his previous life, the most painful thing for Lu Wen-hao was that his wife Li Li told him that their child was not his!
This despicable woman!
Lu Wen-hao clenched his fists tightly.
He was determined to seek revenge, to make sure these people paid for their actions.
"I won't let your family die easily in the apocalypse, the torment I've suffered will be doubly repaid!"
Lu WenHao was an orphan. Through his own hard work and the support of the orphanage, he had been able to go to university and even joined a well-compensated company afterwards.
He met Lili through an introduction.
When he first saw Lili, Lu WenHao thought she was not only pretty and had a good job as a nurse, but also came from a well-off family. Although she had a younger brother, it didn't bother Lu WenHao.
Furthermore, Lili always showed care and concern for Lu WenHao, making him swiftly fall into the whirlpool of love.
Later on, he even oddly agreed to do a matrilocal residence into Lili's family, becoming a son-in-law who comes with the bride.
Being an orphan, he naturally yearned for a complete home.
But after they got married, Lili's attitude changed.
His father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law treated him terribly.
However, because Lili was pregnant, it gave Lu WenHao a hope to hold onto.
After the birth of his son, Lu WenHao worked during the day, and after coming home from work, he undertook all the housework and child care.
Outsiders thought he genuinely cared for Lili's family, but in the eyes of Lili's family, he was just a maid who didn't need to be paid.
The most ridiculous thing was, he couldn't even keep his own monthly salary, as it all went to Lili.
Lili's younger brother, Li Fei, was always extravagant when he was in university. And all of that was spent from Lu WenHao's money!
Feeling increasingly furious, Lu Wen-Hao slapped the table with a firm hand, making a silent vow: "You won't touch a single penny of mine this lifetime. The resources I have hoarded, I won't share a bit with you!"
Moreover, he was determined to make the whole family live worse than death.
Lu Wen-Hao, with a stern face, was preparing to get out of bed and put on his shoes. Suddenly, he felt a wave of dizziness. The next thing he knew, he was in a vast, unfamiliar space.
Lu Wen-Hao was stunned.
"Not only did I reincarnate, but I've also gained a space?"
Owning such a large space, he no longer needed to worry about storage for his resources.
From now on, Lu Wen-Hao could completely focus on hoarding items without the need to waste energy on designing and building a storage.
He was overcome with joy!
The moment he flickered a thought, the space disappeared, and he returned to the real world.
Lu Wen-Hao got up from the bed. Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and a rag was tossed directly onto his face.
"About time you got up! Have you seen the time?"
His father-in-law, Li Gao-yi, stood at the doorway, glaring at him angrily, "Go cook for me!"
Upon seeing Li Gao-yi, Lu Wen-Hao immediately remembered a scene from his past life.
Li Gao-yi, brandishing an electric saw, gradually dismembering his arm..
His eyes were locked onto Li Gaoyi, hating that he couldn't kill him right now.
But he couldn't be so impulsive.
It was still a society of law.
And letting this old man die so easily, Lu Wenhao didn't want to either.
Looking at the look in Lu Wenhao's eyes, Li Gaoyi suddenly felt a bit of fear, as though the young man was going to kill him in the next second.
He slammed the table, angrily shouting, "What are you looking at? You want to hit me? You dare to ignore your elder when I speak to you, huh?"
Li Gaoyi stepped closer, raising his hand to slap Lu Wenhao.
But his hand hadn't fallen yet.
A 'pa' sound rang out.
Lu Wenhao's hand had already landed on Li Gaoyi's face.
This slap left Li Gaoyi dazed, his eyes wide in disbelief as he looked at Lu Wenhao.
"You...you..."
At that moment, his mother-in-law Yu Huimin, holding her grandson, happened to walk by.
Seeing the scene, she angrily pointed at Lu Wenhao and bellowed, "Lu Wenhao, you scoundrel, how dare you hit your father-in-law!"
Yu Huimin's shout made the child in her arms start to cry.
In his previous life, Lu Wenhao would have unhesitatingly walked over to comfort the child, but now as he looked at the child in Yu Huimin's arms, his eyes were filled with anger.
The child looked nothing like him.
He had initially thought that the child resembled Li Li more, but now it seemed like he was being made a fool!
Lu Wenhao suddenly picked up the scissors on the table and took steps towards Yu Huimin.
Li Gaoyi, who had been beaten, was squatting on the ground with his face covered, feeling dizzy, with his blood pressure rapidly rising.
Seeing Lu Wenhao's actions, Yu Huimin's face showed a horrified expression, and she kept retreating. "What are you trying to do? Are you rebelling?"
Lu Wenhao glanced at her expressionlessly and directly cut off a few strands of the child's hair.
Just five minutes after leaving the house, his cell phone rang.
It was Li Li's roar on the other end of the line: "Lu Wenhao, you have become daring, haven't you? How dare you hit my father!"
"I'm officially informing you now, we're divorced."
Without responding to her words, Lu Wenhao directly announced.
