Like all members of the ‘lucky to be reborn’ army- when Chu Huai opened his eyes, he was already reborn.
The air was filled with the unique smell of disinfectant spray in the ward, and the display time of the mobile phone screen was February 18, 20XX.
A year before the end of the world.
No one knows that this wonderful world will turn into a terrible hell on earth in a year.
There were people-eating zombies and ferocious mutant beasts everywhere.
With bad weather and a shortage of supplies, the world has entered a doomsday-like purgatory, and the entirety of mankind faced a huge test of survival…
Of course, this book is strictly speaking a sweet love story, and the cruel apocalypse is the background of the world.
However, to perform suspense in the exciting parts of the later stage, the blushing, the fastening of heartbeats- the misleading scenes of death before rebirth were cut off.
But this will not affect the continuation of this story.
As a person living in the era of the ever-prevalent internet, after a brief period of daze and inconceivability, Chu Huai quickly realized that he had encountered the legendary rebirth.
While the display time on his mobile phone screen and the surrounding environment can be faked, his young physical state without the scars gained from surviving the apocalypse is the best proof.
He was born again before the end of the world came to be.
Chu Huai stared blankly at the face of his youth that was reflected on the pitch-black screen of the phone, and it took him more than half an hour before he calmed down from the surging emotions that engulfed him.
Although he found it hard to believe such a thing, the facts lie ahead.
“Crunch…”
As the door of the room was pushed open, a young man with glasses walked in.

When the other party saw him wake up, his face was surprised, and he hurriedly put the fruit in his hand on the table by the bedside of the hospital, and ran over and shouted.
“Dbrr, tbk vlv sbe offi ktfc sbe kbxf eq? Ktf vbmabg rjlv atja sbe pera tjv j riluta mbcmerrlbc jcv j ygbxfc ifu. Yatfg atlcur jgf cba rfglber. P tjnf kjamtfv atf mbwqjcs’r joojlgr lc atf qjra akb vjsr, jcv atf mbwqjcs’r bqfgjalbc tjr yffc rwbbat…”

He remembers this young man, this is his former assistant secretary of the company, Xiao-He.
He came to work when his freight company was first established and has worked with him for more than five years.
Later, the company was seized and bankrupted due to the breaking of the law, and the employees were dismissed. After he was put in prison, he did not see these people again until his death in the apocalyptic days…
It was only a month later today that his company would be closed for bankruptcy.
Thinking of this, Chu Huai’s eyes flashed coldly as he asked, “Xiao-He, has Hu Chaoyang asked you to ship goods recently?”
“Uh… Yes, how did you know, boss? Mr. Hu came to me two days ago and said that there was an order we could take. The company has been busy these two days so I haven’t replied to him yet.”
When the secretary Xiao-He heard the inquiry, he was startled, only to remember who Hu Chaoyang was in his thoughts.
That was the younger brother of their boss. Since they usually call him “Mr. Hu” and the boss also calls him his ‘younger brother’, he didn’t react to his full name.
Mr. Hu did come to the company two days ago to find him to transport goods. It is not unusual since they are a freight company but how did the boss know? The boss had been in a coma since he had a car accident.
“He mentioned it to me before. Reject them, we will not accept Mr. Hu’s freight orders in the future. If he has any questions, let him contact me directly.”
Facing the doubts of Secretary He, Chu Huai did not explain too much, but directly ordered him to do so.
After three years of a cruel life after the apocalypse, he had forgotten some details of what had happened before the apocalypse, but some important events could not be forgotten.
Managing to become an awakened person with abilities, he was still alive after the apocalypse started, and in the end, it was all thanks to his good brother.
It can be seen from the surname that he and Hu Chaoyang are not blood-related brothers. This is the truth- Chu Huai was an orphan and was adopted by the Hu family when he was a child.
The Hu family patriarch and his wife are very good. Although they adopted him because they were unable to have children when they became pregnant with their own children, they still took good care of him.
Chu Huai was already old enough to recall some things when he was adopted, and he remembered the kindness of his adoptive parents in his heart.
Therefore, when the Hu family died unexpectedly later- he did not ask for a penny from the large inheritance and insurance money they left behind.
Under enormous pressure, he helped his underage brother drive away the wolf-like relatives at home and kept all the inheritance for his younger sibling.
Later on, he took advantage of the opportunity to start from nothing and set up a small freight company. After making money, he took good care of it.
He didn’t expect that the good brother he took care of in every possible way was a person with a clean surface and a dark backside.
He actually engaged in illegal activities with people in private and used his company to transport some illegal things. He clearly remembered this matter from his previous life.
He was hospitalized after a car accident. Hu Chaoyang took the opportunity to take advantage of that loophole and asked his company to accept a freight business. The goods were dangerous, and general transportation companies would not easily pick them up.
But because they were relatives, he had a responsive attitude towards this younger brother on most days, so Secretary He didn’t think much about it and quickly agreed, and the staff below didn’t check it in detail.
So when the police intercepted the truck and a large number of contraband was detected, they were the ones held responsible.
Afterward, Hu Chaoyang absconded, and when he left, he did not forget to throw all the documentary evidence of accusation into his office.
He was successfully made a scapegoat, the company was sealed and bankrupt, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment.
After that, his prison life was very difficult and not to mention, when the apocalypse started, the outside world was chaotic and dangerous, and the prison was even more deadly!
The power of zombies in the early stage is related to the constitution of human beings. The weaker one is in their lifetime, the easier it will be to deal with when they become a zombie; on the contrary, the more vicious a person is in their lifetime, the more vicious it is after becoming a zombie.
Those who face life imprisonment in prison are all wicked people, the situation can be easily imagined.
If he hadn’t been lucky enough to stimulate his abilities, plus with the help of the space he had, he wouldn’t survive at all.
Despite all this, his life was not easy.
He and his companions missed the best time to enter the base for refuge, and they fled outside for two years before finding a small base to live on.
It is also because the base is too small that under the siege of the zombies and mutant beasts in the third year of the apocalypse, all the people in the base were buried, including him…
He won’t do it again, he won’t be fooled by his good brother again, this time he has to live well. No matter how cruel the future world is, he must work hard.
This belief has been deeply engraved in his heart since he was a sensible child. He had always felt that he was looking for something that seemed to be very important to him, he can’t die.
At this moment, what he has to do is:
Heal his wounds, raise money, prepare supplies, and then live well in the apocalypse.
Rubbing his slightly swollen temples, Chu Huai took the apple on the bedside table, gnawed at it, and immediately confessed his plans.
“Xiao-He, I will notify the company’s accounting later for the integrating documents, and call Mr. Du after the completion, saying that I agree to their purchase intentions, and I will meet with the person in charge immediately.”
“Boss, didn’t you say that the company is not gonna be sold? Why…” Secretary He was startled.
“If something happens, you should just do as I say.”
Chu Huai still didn’t explain much as he couldn’t explain the upcoming apocalypse.
His freight company is not large in the industry, it can be said to be very small, but its reputation and potential are very good under his careful management.
Therefore, many medium-sized companies once offered him an olive branch for acquisition. At that time, he wanted to strive to become bigger, so he refused.
But now, it is different. After the apocalypse, the social order would collapse and money would become waste paper.
Before the end of the world comes, he needs enough funds to prepare future survival supplies.
Even if the company was bought in a hurry, it can cash out tens of millions of cash, which is enough for him to buy a lot of things.
Touching the red flame-shaped birthmark on his arm, Chu Huai’s eyes were firm.
This piece of birthmark is his space treasure, although he doesn’t know how it came, it suddenly appeared on his arm after the car accident, mysterious and abnormal.
But this space that can store food without decay and carry it with him is a huge help for him to survive in the apocalyptic days. In addition to the threats of zombies and mutant beasts, the greatest hardship during the apocalyptic days is the lack of clean water and food.
Before the end of the world comes, he has to prepare more survival chips for the future. It’s a pity that the company that he has worked so hard for would be sold just like that, but he can bear to lose it after facing the end of the world, and it’s more important to live now.
People who have not experienced the apocalypse will never be able to deeply understand the cruelty of purgatory, no amount of preparation is enough.
Thanks for the chapter.
So many new series that look delicious! 🤤😋

I looove apocalyptic and space powered t-novels 💙🌌
I wish we got a Lil bit of backstory before Chu Huai Transmigrates.
+1
Whoever wrote the summary, put unnecessary stuff in it, barely describing the plot but the start looks good!
I just finished the Apocalyptic Man and saw your note about this novel. Chapter 1 already looks promising (lol at author stating this is sweet romance novel and the Apocalypse are just bg). Will check the other’s novel too.
I will investigate the summaries of the other novels you’ve listed! But tbh I heard bad things about the Culinary Tycoon novel, the reviews made me decide not to read it previously, does anyone know if the reviews are wrong?
