If Qin Wu saw these tags on a novel, she would be excited and immediately choose to read it.
However, when these tags were her life, she couldn't be excited.
All she felt was anger, pain, and a mad urge to kill everyone who betrayed her.
Fortunately, at the bottom of her pandora's box was a single pure emotion.
Thinking of that man, Qin Wu smiled and looked at a closed office door.
That man was her boss, Mo Chenxuan.
However, this was not the time to think about him.
With a sigh, she reached for her phone and checked the time.
10:19, Monday, 2 July; 20XX
It was the middle of summer and the last normal day before the apocalypse.
'Others are reborn with months to the apocalypse but I only have twenty hours.' She complained.
However, she didn't dwell on her frustration.
Instead, she picked up her tablet and began to note all the important things she remembered from her previous life.
'For some unknown reason, everyone will suddenly fall into a coma at five in the morning.' She wrote.
'When we wake up, it will be three hours later and the world will already have changed.'
For an hour, Qin Wu outlined everything she remembered.
After that, she began to make a list.
In the early days of the apocalypse, ordinary humans and superpowers could still easily get by.
However, after several months of survival, supplies began to dry up.
Unfortunately, when resources became scarce, most humans became worse than beasts.
Humans ate humans.
Husbands prostituted their wives and children for a packet of noodles or a bottle of water.
Rape.
Murder.
The world was in chaos.
Even after the survivor fortresses were established, the human race could not regain its moral compass.
When she thought of the depravity in the apocalypse, Qin Wu sighed but her eyes hardened.
In this life, she didn't want to care about the human race.
All she wanted was to live a good life with Mo Chenxuan.
Fortunately, she had a portable space and memories of her previous life.
If nothing went wrong, she and Mo Chenxuan would live a comfortable life in the apocalypse.
However, the life she wanted was a little too far away.
Thinking that, Qin Wu sighed and again looked at the closed door.
For now, she and Mo Chenxuan were just a boss and a subordinate.
In fact, this relationship didn't change in her previous life.
However, Qin Wu didn't want to live passively anymore.
Since she loved the man, she wouldn't give him to anyone else.
In this life, she would dredge her courage reserves and ensure she got the man.
'Mo Chenxuan, you can only be mine.' She thought and her eyes narrowed into slits.
At one, Qin Wu knocked on Mo Chenxuan's door.
Barely a moment later, a deep voice was heard from the inside.
"Come in." Mo Chenxuan said and Qin Wu immediately walked towards the man.
'Still so good looking.' Qin Wu thought and a trace of mist appeared in her eyes.
Qin Wu lived eight years in the apocalypse.
Unfortunately, she lost touch with Mo Chenxuan in the third year.
As a result, she dreamed of him every day for five years.
'I miss you so much.' She thought.
Mo Chenxuan was one hundred and eighty-eight centimetres tall.
He was lean, had shoulder-length black hair and liked to wear black.
Most importantly, he was so beautiful that few women dared to stand beside him.
However, Mo Chenxuan was a man of contradictions.
Although he was more beautiful than most celebrities, every inch of him oozed a domineering masculinity.
It was this contradiction that captivated hundreds of women, including Qin Wu.
"Secretary Qin." Mo Chenxuan called and Qin Wu regained her senses.
"Boss, I suddenly have an urgent matter. Can I take the afternoon off?" Qin Wu asked.
After making a list and thinking about things, Qin Wu felt that securing meat was her topmost priority.
In the early days of the apocalypse, survivors could still find meat in supermarkets, butcheries, and other such sources.
Unfortunately, the apocalypse happened in summer.
When electricity failed, the fresh meat spoiled, and survivors had to make do with canned alternatives.
However, canned meats didn't last long.
In the end, survivors had to risk their lives to hunt mutant beasts.
Regrettably, even then, there was no guarantee that the mutant beasts were edible and not poisonous.
Since Qin Wu had her previous life's memories, she naturally knew the importance of securing meat.
Fortunately, she was reborn with a planting space.
If she devoted some farm space to rearing animals, she and Mo Chenxuan would have fresh meat for the rest of their lives.
However, the animals had to be secured before the apocalypse.
After D-day, all living things mutated in one way or another.
Even the seemingly ordinary humans were not as before the apocalypse.
Because of this, most animals became inedible as early as the first day of the apocalypse.
Therefore, if Qin Wu waited until after the apocalypse to collect livestock, there was no telling what horrors she would raise in the portable space.
"Is everything okay?" Mo Chenxuan asked.
"Everything is fine. It's just something that needs to be done before evening." She vaguely explained.
Although she was leaving for the day, Qin Wu planned to find an excuse to spend the night at her boss' villa.
In this way, they would be together when the apocalypse began.
"Is that so." Mo Chenxuan frowned.
"Is there something you need me to do?" Qin Wu asked when she noticed the frown.
"Not now but later in the evening…." Mo Chenxuan trailed and fell into deep thought.
'What's going on? This didn't happen in my previous life.' Qin Wu thought.
At the same time, she subtly glanced at her boss.
However, the man's face was still as impassive as ever.
'Is this a butterfly effect?' She wondered but soon jumped onto the opportunity.
After all, an invitation was better than contriving an excuse to invite herself to her boss' place.
"If you need me, I can return to the office after I finish my business." Qin Wu said but Mo Chenxuan shook his head.
"I will hold a video conference with our foreign partners at ten in the evening. Is it convenient to spend the night at my place?"
Hearing this, Qin Wu almost burst into happy laughter.
However, she forcibly suppressed her excitement and solemnly nodded.
"I will drive to the villa after I finish my business."
"Good." Mo Chenxuan said and a hint of relief flashed in his silver eyes.
