Rebirth: I Will Win Easily in the Apocalypse-Chapter 2 - Discussion

Gu Yanzhi tried her best to speak in a light and brief tone about the events after the apocalypse, but besides some key points, she glossed over her own experiences.

However, as she spoke, she couldn't help choking up, not just because of her own difficult survival, but because of the daily agony and longing of being the only one left alive.

Revenge was her only motivation to keep living. The endless loneliness, longing, and regret tortured her every night.

After hearing Gu Yanzhi's story, the living room remained silent for a long time.

After a while, Song Zhao got up from his seat and hugged her tightly, his eyes filled with sympathy.

Although she hadn't shared many details, it wasn't hard to guess how difficult a girl like Gu Yanzhi had survived in such chaotic times, and even avenged them.

Gu Yanlin also got up from his seat and embraced his sister, the three of them clustering together.

It was hard to imagine how their sister, who had been pampered from childhood, had endured those ten years of hardship.

Gu Yanlin was 18 this year, having just gone through the college entrance exams last month. To relax, he had read some novels, including some about the apocalypse, never imagining his own sister had lived through such times.

Gu Yanlin couldn't imagine what his sister had endured, but he was certain that her experiences were not as trivial as she had described.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanlin's eyes slowly moistened.

Feeling her clothes getting wet, Gu Yanzhi pulled away from their embrace and drew a tissue to wipe Gu Yanlin's tears. "Don't be sad, I'm fine now, right? This time, the three of us will get through the apocalypse together. We have so much to do next."

After speaking, Gu Yanzhi picked up a milk tea from the table and took a deep sip; she had missed these delicacies from before the apocalypse so much and planned to indulge in the coming months.

Seeing Gu Yanzhi relaxed, Song Zhao and Gu Yanlin also calmed themselves. Song Zhao asked, "Zhizhi, is your space still there?"

"Oh, I almost forgot because I was so happy. I'll try it now," Gu Yanzhi said, suddenly remembering this important matter.

As she spoke, Gu Yanzhi placed her milk tea into her space and then took it out again.

"It's still here; now we can hoard even more stuff. Hotpot, milk tea, barbecue, cake—please prepare them all. I've almost died wanting them," Gu Yanzhi said excitedly after confirming the space was intact.

"What should we do first?" Normally, Gu Yanlin would have been amazed to see things suddenly disappearing and reappearing, but now his concern only grew.

This further confirmed that his sister's words were true. Now, he really wanted to find Gu Qiang and his sons to make them pay dearly for what they had done to his parents and sister.

Unfortunately, reason told him that it was still a lawful society, and he couldn't just go about breaking the law in broad daylight. For now, they could only consider making preparations for the apocalypse.

Song Zhao got up and left, quickly returning with a computer, sitting next to Gu Yanzhi.

"How big is Zhizhi's space? We need to plan what to hoard based on its size," Song Zhao said while opening the computer's notepad, ready to take notes.

"It's about the size of two football fields now," Gu Yanzhi said, feeling the size of her space.

"Not only do we need to list items for procurement, but we also need to change our house. When the time comes, we'll buy all the apartments on the same floor and renovate them together."

"Our current apartment is quite good. Or can't we just move back to the villa area? It's more spacious and less populated there, which should be safer, right?" Gu Yanlin asked, puzzled.

Their current apartment was a large top-floor flat with two households per elevator on the 33rd floor, beside the apartment where Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao lived; the other was Gu Yanlin's, which the Gu Family's parents had specifically bought to keep the siblings together.

"The first catastrophe of the apocalypse was a flood. By the time the rain stopped, the water was about the height of a six-story building, and the villa area was already submerged."

"This apartment won't work either; it's too high. Once the electricity stops, the elevators won't work, making it too cumbersome to go up and down floors," Gu Yanzhi explained.

In her previous life, she had lived here, and each time she went out and then came back, climbing the stairs was exhausting. It was also difficult to carry large items upstairs.

"Let's move to Jinxiu Thunderbolt; it was just built, and we had originally reserved an apartment for ourselves. There aren't many people living there right now."

Song Zhao quickly ran through the real estate they owned in the city. Jinxiu Thunderbolt was a new property under the Gu Family, and it had just been transferred last month. Song Zhao had reserved several of the best units as new homes, so the construction was closely monitored and used the finest materials, ensuring the quality of the homes.

Moreover, the highest floor of this building was only eighteen stories, making it much easier to move about.

After further discussion and listing everything they needed, the dinner Song Zhao had ordered earlier arrived.

The air was filled with the aromas of various foods, tantalizing Gu Yanzhi's taste buds so much that she almost drooled.

Before the delivery staff had even finished setting up all the food, Gu Yanzhi had already picked up a chopstick full of food and put it in her mouth. It was a dish she hadn't tasted in almost ten years, still exactly as she remembered, and was absolutely delicious.

Considering the presence of strangers at home, Gu Yanzhi screamed internally.

Guessing that Gu Yanzhi might not have had regular food for a long time, Song Zhao ordered many of her favorite dishes; however, to avoid waste, he specifically asked for smaller portions, enough for three people.

Braised pork, boiled fish, roast duck, dry pot shrimp, king crab, lion's head meatballs, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, plain boiled vegetables, shiitake green vegetables... and several kinds of dessert after the meal, each one hitting the spot for Gu Yanzhi.

The table was fully laden with dishes, and once the staff left, Gu Yanzhi began to devour the food in a storm, leaving Gu Yanlin staring in utter amazement.

After satisfyingly letting out a burp, Gu Yanzhi slumped in her chair and reflected, "This is what life should really be like."

Over these next three months, she had to eat her fill and store as much gourmet food as possible; otherwise, the days in the apocalypse would be too hard to endure.

After dinner, the three continued to discuss the arrangements for the impending apocalypse.

After getting unanimous consent from Gu Yanlin and Song Zhao, Gu Yanzhi picked up her phone and dialed Gu Qiang.

"What's up, niece Zhizhi? Why have you suddenly remembered to call your Uncle?" As soon as the call connected, Gu Qiang went on a rant, masquerading as a caring uncle.

"Uncle, I am thinking of selling my shares in the company, not sure if you'd be interested in taking them," Gu Yanzhi said, clenching her hand and restraining her hatred as she spoke.

While the Gu Family was wealthy, the cash they had readily available was only about several billion yuan, which was far from enough according to their stockpiling plan.

Since the company would be of no use once the apocalypse started, it might be better to cash out now and convert the spare money into rare metals, which would also serve as start-up capital after the apocalypse.

This would also be a chance to screw over Gu Qiang's family, ensuring they wouldn't have as comfortable an apocalypse as they did in her previous life.

Noticing Gu Yanzhi's tense demeanor, Song Zhao took the phone from her.

"What happened, niece Zhizhi? Why do you suddenly want to sell your shares?" Gu Qiang, clearly shocked on the other end, had been lobbying for six months without success for Gu Yanzhi to support him at the shareholder's meeting, and now she suddenly wanted to sell.

"Uncle, this is Song Zhao speaking. Yan Lin and I plan to take Zhizhi overseas and not return, so we wanted to see if you were interested in our shares."

Before Gu Qiang could respond, Song Zhao continued.

"As you know, ever since Mr. and Mrs. Gu passed away, Zhizhi hasn't been well. We want to take her abroad for some time to recuperate. A flat rate of 200 billion yuan, selling you 58% of the shares, while retaining 2% for sentimental reasons."

Gu Yanzhi and Gu Yanlin each owned 25% of the Gu Family shares, and Song Zhao owned 10%. To avoid arousing Gu Qiang's suspicion, they intentionally did not mention selling all their shares, but rather left a small portion as a memento.

"Pfft, how much did you say? 200 billion? Why don't you go and rob a bank?" Gu Qiang spat out his drink in shock, yelling over the phone.

While he did want the Gu Family's shares, he hadn't planned on spending money; he had intended to swindle the shares from the naive Gu Yanzhi and Gu Yanlin without spending a dime.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? Our Gu Family's current market value is 500 billion yuan. 200 billion is more than a 50% discount. We are mainly considering the years you've treated us well, which is why we contacted you first about selling, even giving you this family price. If you think it's too expensive, I'll just contact President Chen from Yaohua and the Zhang Family instead, and I'm sure I can get more than 50," Song Zhao spoke sternly before immediately hanging up, pretending to be angry.

The price of 200 billion was also calculated by Song Zhao, knowing that Gu Qiang's family definitely couldn't afford it. According to his estimates, Gu Qiang could at most gather about 100 billion, and with Gu Li's family, maybe around 50 billion.

Asking for 200 billion was also a ploy to see if they could extort a bit more money; every little bit counts, especially since none of them were good people.

While Gu Li did not have a direct hand in the orchestrated deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Gu, she was complicit. Song Zhao didn't intend to let such despicable people off the hook.

According to Gu Yanzhi, money was still very useful in the initial stages of the apocalypse, and despite the high prices, having money could still buy many supplies.
