2 Chapter 1

Zhang Yuqi opened her eyes.

'I'm not dead? What happened to me? Where's Cinna? Where am I?'

Zhang Yuqi looked around.

'Isn't this my old apartment? Wait-what's the date?'

Zhang Yuqi quickly rushed towards her phone that was charging.

'1/1/2387... As I suspected. I really went back in time! But how? Ah, I'm not going to worry about it anymore. I'll just train myself so I can save myself during the apocalypse... 8 months before it... I have to go hunt mutant beasts so I can eat their cores and meat to level up. I'll also have to earn more money to get supplies.'

"Master, I'm your system, 119. I will tell you more about the matter of how you came back."

"A-are you really a system? I feel like I'm in a fantasy novel now... and really? 119? The fireman phone number?"

"Master, I can't help it, I was the 119th system created... You can assign me any name you like though."

"Really? Then I'll name you, Darling! Doesn't it seem cute? And you can call me Yuqi!"

"Why 'Darling'?"

"Your voice reminds me of a dog in America. Very cheerful! Her name was Darling. While I was overseas, the dog was one of my friends. It dies of a tumor in its lung though..."

"That sounds depressing... I'm named after a dead animal..."

"That's not the point here! Hurry up and explain what happened!"

"Yuqi, you're back before the apocalypse because your power isn't constructing. It's controlling space."

"Oh, cool. Wait, WHAT?!"

"Yeah, you got a really powerful ability there."

"Nice! But what should I do besides preparing?"

"Yuqi, I've looked at your past. That bastard who raped you, he should just die!"

"Un, if I came back to the time before I was raped, I would have killed him... but, I would have still wanted Cinna."

"En, Cinna seems like a nice boy. And he isn't normal either. He should have the ability to befriend or tame beasts. He can understand their languages and emotions. That's a pretty powerful ability too. And his is an upgradable power since he was a fetus when he encountered the virus."

"I always knew Cinna was great!"

"Yes yes, your son is the best. Anyways, why I mentioned your past isn't because of this. We should go earn money! First, sue the bastard who raped you. We can earn a bit of money from that, right? After that, I'll transfer information to you so that you can begin hunting mutants. The life savings you have saved up, we need to buy supplies for you. If we hunt a traversing boa, we can get some skin to make a space bag to store your supplies in. And I'll give you the lottery codes that won money."

"Woah, Darling! You're so OP!"

"Hehe, of course. Oh, and if you can't get the space bag, we just have to make you level up to level 2 to gain a dimension. Work hard Yuqi!"

"En!"

Zhang Yuqi and Darling discussed matters to prepare and plan for.

1st month:

Gathered supplies and killed several mutants. Won some lottery.

2nd month:

Killed more mutants. Successfully sued the bastard and won the case by relying on Darling's information on laws.

3rd month:

Killed a traversing boa and got a large space bag that could fold easily into a small knapsack. Won more lottery.

4th month:

Kind landlady began taking care of her. Ordered specially armored car with bulletproof glass and tough tires.

5th month:

Received the car and paid for it. Gathered more supplies, including baby food and clothes.

6th month:

After teaching for so long, earned enough money to buy a remote house in a safe city.

7th month:

Trained very hard to level up. Leveled up to level 2 and stowed the traversing boa skin away. Stored car and supplies in dimension. Bought tons of oil for the car and stored it away.

8th month:

Warned all her friends to go to the safe city. Those who didn't believe her were lied to by being said that there was a party. They all agreed to travel and weren't worried about anymore. They were suspicious of Zhang Yuqi though (OvO)...

2 days before the apocalypse...

"Grandma Li, a natural disaster is supposed to occur tomorrow. It's said to be a huge earthquake! We should escape before it happens! They said it would destroy anything in this city!"

'Yuqi, that sounds really fake...'

'Shut up Darling!'

"My, really? I'll pack up right away!"

'See, it worked! I should become an actress!'

'Sigh, Yuqi, it just means that she's very gullible. Is she the type to buy from door to door salesmen and get tricked?'

'...yes.'

The landlady, Grandma Li, packed up everything she had and alerted the renters.

The renters just laughed it off, leaving her helpless.

Grandma Li was pretty surprised to have a huge car in the middle of the road that Zhang Yuqi said was hers.

Zhang Yuqi put Grandma Li's luggage in the trunk and ushered her into the car.

"Yuqi, you shouldn't be driving! You're pregnant!"

"It's fine Grandma Li, I still have about 4 days before giving birth."

"It can always come early, young lady. You should be more careful."

"I will," Zhang Yuqi said in a calm tone. But she knew, Cinna would be born 4 days later. This time, he would have a proper hospital to be born in and would be cared for properly.

Zhang Yuqi didn't stop unless it was for a bathroom break. Grandma Li was kind of surprised that her tenant had prepared so much for this, even packing full courses for lunch and dinner.

The second day, the calm morning was broken with screams and yells.

It was a distance away from the safe city and they were currently in a city that would soon be overrun by zombies.

"Grandma Li, go to sleep, you're tired aren't you?"

Zhang Yuqi gave earplugs and an eye cover to the elderly landlady.

"Yuqi? What were those screams?"

"Oh, I heard that they are filming a zombies movie around here by a famous horror film director. It's going to be gross to hear or see, and you look tired. Grandma Li, don't worry and rest."

"Well, alright."

'That was a tad bit convincing,' said Darling in a bland tone.

'Oh shut up Darling. I'm honing my skills to become an actress!'

'...sure'

Zhang Yuqi successfully avoided the zombies and didn't get any guts or blood on her car.

"Whew, even though I've seen them before, they're still as disgusting as ever."

With Grandma Li sleeping, Zhang Yuqi sped up so she could get to the safe city quickly.

Vroom!

The armored car dashed away from the infected city and neared the safe city.

'Yuqi, there are many zombies ahead, your car can bash them away though. If you don't want your car to be dirtied, we can go the long way.'

'I'd rather go the long way.'

'Ok, here's the map.'

Ding!

Zhang Yuqi's phone vibrated and showed that an app was downloaded.

'Yuqi, this is the app I made. It'll navigate for you and show where mutant beasts or zombies are.'

'Ooh! Efficient!'

'And I'll try to make your phone accept solar energy as a battery charger. It'll take about 2 hours. Put the phone in the dimension after you reach the safe city. I'll do it after you get there.'

'En! Love you, Darling!'

'Eck!'

'Haha, I'm just teasing!'

Zhang Yuqi, using the app provided, drove carefully along the bumpy path.

"Whew! My car didn't get dirty!" was the first thing she exclaimed when going inside the gates of the safe city.

The guards who were guarding the area looked at each other with an incredulous look.

"This woman is pregnant and has an old lady in tow. And the first thing she exclaims is how her car didn't get dirty?!"
