The mother and daughter drove out, even bringing Da Huang along, planning to stroll through the night market and have some barbecue. After all, there was only one day left before the apocalypse. Who knew when they’d next be able to walk the streets like this?
They wanted to savor the last bit of ordinary life.
They also planned to check out the nearby malls to see if there was anything else they could buy, just in case they’d missed something.
Sensing her thoughts, the system granted her another ten million yuan.
Although it wasn’t as much as the hundreds of millions she’d received before, it was still a significant sum.
Her space also expanded to its final form—fifty thousand square meters.
In all her years in the apocalypse, Mo Yuwan had never seen anyone with a spatial ability this large.
What surprised her most was that she could faintly feel her own ability awakening.
In her previous life, she had an ice-type ability. This time, she could sense it was still ice.
In a way, she felt this power suited her well.
She was a soft, delicate girl, but with ice powers, she could kill without a trace—perfect for playing the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
At the mall, Mo Yuwan spotted a knife in a display case.
The knife was pitch black, very large—longer than Mo Yuwan’s 1.62-meter height. The blade was black with golden patterns, clearly made of excellent material, and the hilt was decorated with two blooming red roses.
It looked ancient and elegant.
A small sign below read: “Total weight: 20 kg. Masterpiece by Master Zhong Zhuang (unnamed).”
This was a real weapon—she could tell at a glance. Every part of the knife was designed for combat, even exceeding normal standards.
The only flaw was that it wasn’t sharpened.
At twenty kilograms, it was a true heavyweight weapon. Just swinging it would be devastating, let alone actually using it to attack.
Mo Yuwan fell in love with the knife at first sight.
She asked the clerk about the price, only to be told it wasn’t for sale. Even if it were, the price wouldn’t be less than ten million—it was just on display for now.
Mo Yuwan didn’t insist, just stood in front of the case for a while before leaving.
She wanted it, but with ten million, she could buy a lot more supplies.
Most importantly, once the apocalypse hit, she could just come back and take it for free. For now, that was the plan.
Mo Siying could tell her daughter really liked the knife and wanted to persuade her to buy it, but when she saw Mo Yuwan turn away, she followed.
They swept through the mall one more time. This time, instead of using the warehouse, Mo Yuwan booked a room at the inn upstairs and had everything delivered there, putting it all into her space from the room.
This was their last taste of city life, so Mo Yuwan considered just spending the night there.
She remembered clearly that the apocalypse would break out at 4 p.m. the next day.
She planned to get up early, send her mom back to the cave, then come out to “shop for free,” and finally deal with that scumbag.
She felt her plan was very clear.
After sorting the delivered goods and storing them in her space, the two went downstairs for barbecue.
Outside, the night market was bustling. The moment they entered, they were swept up in the lively atmosphere—couples, families, groups of friends, all enjoying the night.
The air was filled with the aroma of food. Mo Yuwan and Mo Siying bought plenty, and with so many people around, Mo Yuwan occasionally slipped things into her space without anyone noticing.
On both sides, vendors were selling earrings, trinkets, souvenirs, and local specialties.
Mo Yuwan and her mother enjoyed this last bit of peace, walking quietly side by side.
They stopped at a barbecue stall they used to frequent.
The owner, a middle-aged auntie, was delighted to see them, her face lighting up with a smile.
“Xiao Mo! Long time no see. Where have you been all this time?”
Normally, Mo Yuwan would have joked back, but this time she just exchanged a smile with her mother and didn’t answer.
The auntie sensed something was different but didn’t press. She took out the menu but didn’t hand it over, just asked,
“The usual today?”
Mo Siying nodded.
“Yes, thank you.”
The woman nodded and left with the menu.
For regulars like them, the shop always kept a record of their usual orders, making things easier for everyone.
While waiting for the food, Mo Yuwan and Mo Siying watched the endless stream of people, feeling a bit dazed.
It was still so lively here.
But soon, everything would change.
That thought made them both a little sad.
When the food arrived, Mo Yuwan said to the auntie,
“Auntie, with Japan dumping nuclear wastewater, you should stock up on food at home. Things are getting a bit unstable outside.”
She looked serious, her tone solemn.
The auntie had watched Mo Yuwan grow up and had never seen her so serious. She instinctively believed her.
“Really? Then I’ll buy more groceries tomorrow.”
Hearing “tomorrow,” Mo Yuwan hesitated, then added,
“Auntie, it’ll rain tomorrow. When we leave, you should close up early and buy groceries on your way home.”
The auntie didn’t think much of it and agreed.
During dinner, Mo Yuwan and Mo Siying chatted and laughed, sharing stories from Mo Siying’s youth that made Mo Yuwan burst out laughing.
She’d heard these stories many times, but they were always fun.
They blended into the lively night market, surrounded by warmth and humanity.
When they finished eating, they had the owner pack up more food to take home.
They didn’t linger, and after picking up their things, they headed back to the inn.
Just as they left the night market, a scream rang out behind them!
“Ah!!”
After that, more and more people started screaming, panic spreading through the crowd.
Mo Yuwan instinctively turned around. Everyone nearby was curious, looking toward the source of the noise.
A gap opened up, and through it, Mo Yuwan saw a pair of gray-white eyes!
A zombie!
The apocalypse had arrived early!!
