At our father’s funeral, Sharon Shaw cried so hard her face was streaked with tears and mucus. “I don’t care about the inheritance. I just want Dad’s tiny convenience store, so I can hold on to the roots he came from.”She sounded so sincere that even the relatives attending the funeral had red eyes by the end of it. One after another, they praised Sharon for being such a devoted daughter. But when they looked at me, their eyes were filled with contempt, saying my sister generously gave me the multimillion-dollar inheritance and the estate, yet I showed no gratitude at all. They wondered how the Shaw family had produced such an ungrateful brat.I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Sharon didn’t genuinely want the convenience store. She only knew that in one month, a zombie virus would sweep across the globe. By then, money would be worthless, while the supplies inside that tiny store would become the key to survival.But what Sharon didn’t know was that in the apocalypse, having

The next morning, the guards and chef were already awake before I was.I had barely finished washing up when I saw them standing in the main hall waiting for me. Judging from the looks on their faces, they had already seen what was happening outside.I turned toward the street beyond the one-way glass just in time to see a swarm of grotesque zombies roaming the roads.Some still vaguely resembled humans, but most were drenched in blood, their faces twisted into horrifying shapes. A few were so badly mutilated that their organs spilled out as they ran.Even these hardened men, veterans who had seen more than enough bloodshed in their lives, had gone pale.At that point, I didn’t need to say another word. They willingly chose to stay and work as my security team.The chef practically fled into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. With his thin frame, it felt like he’d be torn apart the second he stepped outside.A few minutes later, he placed a freshly prepared meal in front of me and lift

These men went through rigorous military training. Every one of them had been among the best in their unit, highly skilled in surveillance and counter-surveillance tactics.And yet, even after searching the estate from top to bottom, they still failed to find a single clue.Then a terrifying thought suddenly flashed through my mind.What if Sharon had a system too?The possibility left me deeply unsettled.I needed answers and fast.Before the apocalypse began, I purchased several drones. Originally, I planned to use them to monitor the blind spots beyond the estate’s security cameras.I never imagined the first person I’d use them against would be my own sister.The convenience store Dad left behind wasn’t far from the estate, and it didn’t take long for the drone to circle above it.Even so, I hesitated to move closer.If Sharon really had a system as well, then the defenses around that store might not be any weaker than mine.To test her, I remotely created a small noise disturban

At first, I watched their struggles with genuine amusement.But after a while, even that became boring.Just how much had Sharon promised them?Enough for them to keep climbing up and sliding back down over and over again like my walls were some kind of amusement park?I narrowed my eyes and stared coldly at the surveillance feed before beckoning one of the guards over.I’d earned more than enough survival points.It was time to teach them a lesson.Not long after, I heard complaints starting to spread through the crowd outside.One man grumbled that Sharon clearly had plenty of food inside her convenience store, yet all she’d promised them was a single loaf of bread per day if they succeeded.Meanwhile, the guards inside my estate were eating gourmet meals alongside me every day.At that point, someone bluntly suggested they should just switch sides and work for me instead.I nearly laughed out loud hearing that.I already knew Sharon was stingy, but I didn’t expect her idea of winnin

Clutching my head, I sat on the ground and sucked in a sharp breath of pain.A flashlight beam suddenly swept over me, and only then did I realize I’d walked straight into a wall.It looked like the power was completely out everywhere.Outside, the darkness was so thick it felt capable of swallowing the entire world whole.Thankfully, one of the guards came looking for me with a flashlight after noticing the blackout.Otherwise, with how pitch-black it was outside, I probably would’ve gotten lost in my own garden.Fortunately, after living through my previous life, I had already expected the power grid to collapse eventually and had prepared plenty of backup generators in advance.But before I could switch them on, my instincts suddenly screamed that someone was approaching the estate.I immediately pressed my ear against the gate.Even though the person outside was deliberately trying to soften their footsteps, I could still make out faint sounds in the darkness.Who would come here t
