Lin Feng suddenly sat up from the bed, his chest heaving violently as he gasped for air. Sweat soaked through his vest, and the sticky feeling was so real. He had been betrayed by Su Qing, the woman he loved, who colluded with Wang Hu, the leader of the base, to devour him, tearing apart his flesh and leaving nothing behind. The intense pain was etched into his memory. He looked around and realized he was in his family villa. He grabbed his phone and saw the time: August 12, 2025, 9:13 AM, seven days before the global natural disaster that would sweep across the world. He had been reborn. Overwhelming hatred for Su Qing and Wang Hu gnawed at his heart. He recalled Su Qing's venomous words and Wang Hu's knife as they chopped off his hands and feet and threw them into a pot to boil. He died from excessive blood loss and opened his eyes again, reborn. He vowed to never repeat the same mistakes and to repay what they owed a thousandfold.Just then, a mechanical prompt sound echoed from the depths of his soul: "Infinite Space activated, Space Size: Infinite! Function: Freely store and retrieve items with permanent preservation." He tested it by storing a glass of water, then a desk and a bed, and found he could store and retrieve any item effortlessly, with permanent preservation. With this space, he could hoard supplies that would never spoil. But he also needed an absolutely safe fortress to survive the horrors of the apocalypse: three months of extreme cold down to minus seventy degrees Celsius, a month of extreme heat up to eighty degrees Celsius, floods, and finally mutated plants and animals. To build such an underground shelter, he needed a massive amount of money.He opened his mobile banking and saw a balance of ten million two hundred seventy thousand yuan. The company left by his parents was worth about a hundred million, but he needed several billion for a super fortress capable of withstanding all extremes. As a reborn individual, his greatest advantage was information about the next seven days. He remembered that four days before the apocalypse, a virtual currency called "Deep Space Coin" would surge over ten thousand times in 24 hours and then crash, a financial scam known as the "Apocalypse Carnival." He could take advantage of this. Also, a metal futures contract codenamed "LME-Nickel" would skyrocket 280% due to a supply disruption. He planned to use all his assets with twenty-fold leverage to go long on nickel one day in advance, turning one hundred million into 2.8 billion, and then harvest Deep Space Coin.He immediately called Zhang Long, his father's most trusted subordinate and the company's general manager, and demanded that he liquidate all company assets within one day and transfer the cash to his personal account. Zhang Long was reluctant but eventually agreed after Lin Feng's irrefutable attitude. He then received a call from Su Qing. She wanted money for a Chanel bag, but Lin Feng told her to kneel at his door and bark like a dog. She erupted in anger, and he broke up with her, then blocked her number.He knew he needed more money, so he searched for a company called "Dragon Shield Security" that built private fortresses for the world's top tycoons. He called them and stated his requirements: a shelter capable of withstanding magnitude 9 earthquakes, temperatures of minus seventy degrees Celsius and surface temperatures of one hundred degrees Celsius, three months of continuous flood immersion, and independent energy and ecological circulation systems. When he said the construction period was seven days, the project director Li Jun accused him of joking. Lin Feng offered a ten million yuan deposit, transferred to Li Jun's personal account, and said if they couldn't do it, the money was his treat; if they could, he would double the total project cost. Li Jun, shocked, gave his account number. Lin Feng transferred the ten million. Li Jun called back with excitement and said he would bring his best team within half an hour.When Li Jun arrived with a convoy of vehicles and two hundred workers, Lin Feng handed him a tablet with his own design requirements. He demanded a foundation depth of fifty meters, a five-layer composite wall structure with special alloy steel plate, C1000 grade concrete, graphene insulation, radiation-proof lead plate, and a basic protective layer. He required three German imported generator sets, a world-class circulation system, and an independent drainage system with three giant water pumps. Li Jun said it would take months and cost tens of billions. Lin Feng transferred another twenty million as a second deposit and ordered construction to start immediately, working 24 hours in three shifts. Li Jun, now fully convinced, activated the highest level contingency plan.The construction of the fortress began. Lin Feng then drove to the west city agricultural wholesale market, the heart of the city's supply chain. He entered a grain and oil wholesale store called "Golden Granary Grain and Oil" run by a man named Wang Pangzi. The owner was boasting about his inventory. Lin Feng walked in and said he wanted to buy all the rice and flour, including everything in the warehouse. Wang Pangzi laughed and dismissed him. Lin Feng took out his phone and showed a transfer interface with one million yuan. He asked for Wang Pangzi's account number and transferred the million. Wang Pangzi received the SMS and was stunned. Lin Feng then told him he wanted ten million tons of rice, five million tons of refined flour, and five million barrels of cooking oil, all to be delivered within seven days to a specified address. Wang Pangzi was shocked but now qualified to do business. He agreed.The story ends at this point, with Lin Feng having set in motion his plans for financial gain, fortress construction, and supply hoarding, all to prepare for the inevitable apocalypse and to eventually exact revenge on Su Qing and Wang Hu.
