“Su Ruizhe!” Suddenly, a shrill voice called Su Ruizhe’s name.
Su Ruizhe slowly turned around and saw a fat, middle-aged woman standing at the entrance of the street, with a kind smile on her round face, as if she were looking at a child she loved very much.

Su Ruizhe squeezed out
three words
, “
Eldest Aunt
…”
Thinking of his Grandfather, Su Ruizhe couldn’t help the reddening of his eyes again. He had vowed not to shed weak tears, but Grandpa and Zhan Yun were the untouchable scars in his heart. He really couldn’t control himself…
When Chen Huizhen saw Su Ruizhe’s appearance, she thought he was really touched by her concern. She said softly again, “You can’t eat well at home alone. Come with me and eat at home with your aunt!”
After hearing her, the sadness in Su Ruizhe’s eyes quickly withdrew, replaced by total indifference.

When she had asked before in his previous life, it was the first time he had lived in such an open house, put on clean and brand-new clothes, and slept in a big, soft, and comfortable bed. Everything was beautiful, like a perfect dream.

Later, Eldest Aunt said that Eldest Cousin’s children wanted to go to a better public elementary school. She took a fancy to the elementary school attached to the top middle school in the city, but the child’s household wasn’t in the city, and thus could not register. She was so worried that she wanted to ask him if they could use his grandfather’s house as the child’s household registration.

Su Ruizhe remembered that Grandpa’s house was worn out, but the location was ok.
After Grandpa’s death, the dilapidated small house became his only property, and he became the head of the household.

At that time, he was still a naive seventeen-year-old child. He really thought that he had regained their affection. The days when he lived in his eldest aunt’s house were the best days of his life. He naturally agreed without hesitation.
After… Eldest Aunt was much better towards him.
His eldest cousin, who worked in a government agency, soon transferred his little nephew’s account to his grandfather’s house and even hung up the account with his
elder cousin
and elder sister-in-law. Finally, Eldest Aunt said that he was too young to be the proper head of the household, so even the head of the household was changed.
Later, Su Ruizhe learned that Grandpa’s apartment was not a commercial house, but a public rental house, so he did not have the right to rent it out. He could only wait for demolition, not resale. It happened that his uncle had sources in the government and heard that the house was to be demolished. That was the reason his aunt came to take him back to live with them.

The demolition notice came soon after
. The demolition money was distributed according to the number of people. One person had hundreds of thousands of yuan. Everyone would be given the same amount of money. Su Ruizhe had a sum of 300,000. Eldest Aunt said that he was still a child, and lived and ate in their house, so he did not need money. She would save the money for him.
Then they continued to serve him delicious food and drinks. In less than a month, he had been fooled to the point where he believed every word his Eldest Aunt said.
Su Ruizhe could not help sighing when he thought of his past foolish self. If it weren’t for his yearning for warmth and trust, he would not have fallen, nor would he have pushed away his loved ones with a cruel heart…
“Xiao Zhe? Xiao Zhe!”

Su Ruizhe’s memories were interrupted by her sharp voice. He looked up at his seemingly tender and gentle Eldest Aunt, who was smiling in front of him.
“Will you come home with Eldest Aunt? There’s meat stewing at home, and your uncle always talks about you. After all, we’re your only blood relatives now!” Chen Huizhen deliberately emphasized the words “blood relatives”.
Su Ruizhe, however, sneered in his heart. What close blood relative? Who squeezed him dry and kicked him out into the open again?!

“No, Eldest Aunt. Today is Grandpa’s 37th day. I have to accompany him at home so that he won’t be lonely.”

Remembering Grandpa Su, who just died, Chen Huizhou’s smile instantly slipped and she could only say dryly, “Oh… Then, let’s go to my house for dinner another day.”
Watching the fat figure disappear around the entrance of the street, Su Ruizhe lowered his eyes, slowly turned around, and went into the dilapidated, small house.
The room was almost empty. There was a black-and-white photograph of Grandpa hanging on the wall. The toothless old man smiled kindly and Su Ruizhe’s tears fell down.
Grandpa managed to raise him despite the difficulty. He had not had a good day before he died. Even with a space and Su Ruizhe’s rebirth, life seemed to have no meaning at all…

If it wasn’t for… If there hadn’t been a man who was worried about him, he would not have been willing to face the terrible apocalypse again.
As the sky grew darker and the smell of food drifted from afar, Su Ruizhe took out the barbecue he had stored in the space and gobbled it up quickly. Then he lay down on the hard wooden bed and began to plan out what he would do tomorrow.
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
There was only one month before the end of the world began. His didn’t have a lot of time; he must be well prepared. Yet, he was poor, only able to sell vegetables alone, and could earn no more than a few hundred yuan a day… Food was something he did not worry about. He had fruits, vegetables, crude rice, and grains in his space, but there was no meat! God knows how difficult it was to eat hot food in the apocalypse! Not to mention meat!
If you wanted to earn enough money to eat meat for more than ten years in the apocalypse, you’d better rob a bank…
F7vo6G
Unfortunately, the end of the world had not yet begun, and the world was not so chaotic. Let’s not say whether he could succeed in robbing banks with his small stature, but if caught, he would have to go to jail. When the end of the world begins, the cell would not be a safe place. Even if he would not be bitten by reanimated prisoners, he would certainly starve to death behind the iron bars. It would be better to be a law-abiding, good citizen and save money safely.
Su Ruizhe entered the space and arrived at a beautiful valley. It was not very large and occupied more than a dozen acres of land at most. However, there were rice fields, vegetable gardens and fruit orchards in the valley, which were full of vitality. There was also a clear spring with
clear eyes
. He went to the spring and drank a big mouthful of the sweet water, which left him refreshed.
He left a large expanse of green grass on the other side of the spring, where he planned to raise some animals. There was also a cave in the valley, about four or five square meters wide, where he could store fresh produce, pickled vegetables, and preserved fruits.
The space was actually Su Ruizhe’s second power. In the apocalypse, a dual-system ability was not unheard of, but rather rare.
Po9cEB
At first, his ability level was not high. Wood abilities had little attack power and could only make vegetable seedlings grow faster. Space abilities were only as large as a few cubic meters, and without mountains and rivers, they could only store some nonliving things, which had little benefit.

During the apocalypse, the environment became worse and worse; many plants had mutated and the humans were facing an urgent survival crisis. After several years of wandering, Su Ruizhe and his uncle’s family finally came across a large base. The research institute of the base recruited a group of ability users to help with research. Abilities related to planting and space, such as Su Ruizhe’s, were very popular.
At first, the research institute was good to him, mainly studying his abilities. They brought him a lot of nuclei upgrades, which allowed his abilities to rise to the third level. Then he found that his abilities had changed: his space became larger and there were mountains, rivers, and fertile land in the space. Not only could he grow crops, but he could also use his wood ability to turn the plants into weapons…
However, this was not the case for other space ability users. At the time, Su Ruizhe had lived for many years in the apocalypse and had seen some dark sides, but in his heart, he still attached great importance to the relatives who had given him warmth and care. So, he disclosed this great secret to his aunt, thinking that he could make their family’s living condition better.

He never imagined that his aunt would turn around and sell him to the institute…
The gentle researchers at the institute also tore off their masks, experimenting with him in every possible way, and nicknamed him the hope of the future of mankind.
After experiencing all kinds of inhumane experiments, Su Ruizhe’s nucleus was eventually dug out for its power and he died. Then the researchers went on to look for their next hope
.
Oh, how ironic.

Su Ruizhe took out several large bags and filled them with vegetables and fruits. He piled them on the ground of the cave and prepared to sell them tomorrow.
Once he was out of the space, Su Ruizhe laid back on the wooden bed, pulled out a bunch of scattered bills from his old sportswear pocket, and counted them carefully. That was his income from selling vegetables and fruits for the day. Five hundred and twenty yuan would be a huge sum of money, but it still wasn’t enough for Su Ruizhe.
There were too many things he needed to prepare for the apocalypse. If he did not take advantage of the month he had before the apocalypse to collect necessities soon, he would be too late after the apocalypse began.
Money, money! He needed money!

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the house… Soon the demolition notice would be issued. As long as the contract could be signed, according to the notice, it seemed that each person would have more than 300,000 yuan!
