INICIAR SESIÓNI watched the black car disappear into traffic before getting into my own vehicle.I didn't have time to chase after anyone.If somebody was interested in my shopping activities, they could keep watching. As long as they didn't interfere with my preparations, I had more important things to worry about.I started the engine and checked Emily's list again.Food supplies had been handled.Now came the things that could keep us alive when the situation became dangerous.My first stop was a large shopping centre.I began with clothing, purchasing durable jeans, trousers, shirts, jackets, sweaters, thermal underwear, socks, gloves, boots, raincoats and several types of protective clothing.I also ordered sleeping bags, blankets, towels, backpacks and waterproof bags.I wasn't interested in fashionable outfits. I wanted clothes that could withstand rough conditions.Next came toiletries.Soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, sanitary products, toilet paper, deodorants, detergents, disinfectants, s
"Shall we discuss the price?"I leaned forward, studying the inventory report Mr. Anderson had placed before me.There were several brands of bottled water, ranging from small personal bottles to large family packs. I wanted all of them."What's your best offer for the entire stock?"He adjusted his glasses."Considering the quantity, we can offer you a substantial discount. The total comes to approximately $180,000."I raised an eyebrow."That's your best price?""Yes, ma'am. We're practically clearing out our entire bottled water inventory since today is the last day of the month..""Then you should be grateful I'm helping you make room for fresh stock."He chuckled."You're quite the negotiator.""And you're quite the businessman. Let's not waste each other's time."After a few more minutes of bargaining, we settled at $145,000.I instructed him to prepare the inventory for delivery the following morning. Every bottle had to be properly sealed, and the expiration dates checked.Wat
"Yes, ma'am?""There's one section at the back of the research building. I want you to pay particular attention to it. Reinforce the doors and every possible entry point. Nobody should be able to force their way in easily.""All right. I'll have the engineers inspect it immediately.""Good."My phone vibrated. It was Emily.She had sent several pictures along with a message.Emily: I've found a few warehouse options. Take a look and tell me which one you prefer.I opened the pictures.There were several properties, but one immediately caught my attention.It was a massive industrial warehouse with a wide loading area, multiple access points, and enough room for heavy trucks to move in and out without difficulty.I zoomed in, checking the building and its surroundings.This was exactly what I needed.Me: This one. Contact the owner immediately. I want to secure it today.Emily: Already on it. I'll send you the details shortly.I smiled.At least things were going according to plan.I t
I didn't bother stressing over who the intruder was. We had bigger problems to deal with.After discussing our plans, we divided the responsibilities among ourselves.My mansion and several other properties were immediately put up for sale. I wasn't emotionally attached to any of them. What was the point of owning beautiful houses when the world was about to become a graveyard?The next morning, 30/11/2025 we all got to work.Zeph set out to source the strongest motorcycles and vehicles he could find. He was also responsible for purchasing diesel, kerosene, cooking gas, and other essential fuel supplies.Emily stayed back to research warehouse options and identify reliable production companies we could purchase supplies from.Daniel and I headed to Lazach Research Institute to supervise the renovation.The first thing I noticed when we arrived was how much work needed to be done.The main gate was rusty, sections of the perimeter wall had cracks, and weeds had taken over parts of the
“With everything I have seen and knowing Valerie from infant…I believe everything she has said even though I still don't understand fully but.. it's better to be prepared than to be caught unprepared.ZEPH and Emily were quiet and cold. “So Valerie, you tell us how we can help you prepare ourselves against this.” Daniel added.“Thank you dad… thank you friends..” I smiled weakly at Emily and Zeph. They breathed down.. I stood up.. you guys met me while I was practicing how to store things up… because apparently, my second life came with a gift called RESS.. MY RESET STORAGE SYSTEM.. It has a special feature called the infinite spatial space.. where I can store survival items and it has no limit.Emily glanced at me.“Are you saying the system is responsible for what you did to those foods and drinks on the dining table… like a the storage ability?”“Yes.”She sat back, rubbing her forehead.“This is a lot to process.”“I know.”“No, Valerie. I don't think you understand.” She let o
For several seconds, nobody moved.Zeph stared at me as though I'd grown two heads. Emily's mouth hung slightly open, while Mr Daniel looked between my hands and the empty dining table, clearly trying to make sense of what he had just witnessed.I tightened my grip on the bottle of water.“Hi,” I said weakly.Nobody answered.I forced a smile. “Why are you all looking at me like that?”Zeph was the first to find his voice.“Valerie.”I swallowed. “Yes?”“What did I just see?”I glanced at the bottle in my hand. “Water?”His eyes widened. “Don't play games with me!”“I'm not playing games.”“Then explain how you made everything on that table disappear!”I opened my mouth, then closed it. Shit! They actually saw that.“Valerie?” Emily stepped forward, her eyes fixed on my hands. “Where did you put everything that was on that table?”I looked at her helplessly. “Emily, it's… complicated.”“Complicated?” Zeph repeated incredulously. “You made an entire table full of food disappear in fron
