"I've been reborn?!"

It was the height of summer. As Su Chen stood at a bustling auto show, cold sweat trickled down his back. His face was filled with disbelief.

He clearly remembered that just one month after attending this very car show, the apocalypse struck.

At first, no one paid much attention to the unfolding disaster.

It was just another heatwave, another cold snap, another flood, another virus outbreak...

Until the catastrophes engulfed the globe—scorching heat, extreme cold, massive floods, and a zombie virus that wiped out countless lives.

In the chaos, the civilization and order of Blue Star collapsed completely.

The lucky few who survived faced a harsh climate, a shortage of resources, rampant zombies, and all kinds of deadly threats, struggling desperately to stay alive.

Su Chen was one of them.

To survive, he had drunk filthy water, eaten rotten meat, and lived a life worse than that of animals.

And yet, after foolishly trusting others, he was betrayed during a supply run and died surrounded by zombies.

But unexpectedly, he was reborn—back to one month before the apocalypse!

Su Chen took a deep breath, and a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes.

He didn't know why he'd been given a second chance, but now that he had it, he would make the most of it.

Not only would he survive in the post-apocalyptic world—he would live well. And he would make sure to repay both the people who helped him… and those who betrayed him.

"Sir, would you like to take a look at this Axela from our company?"

"It's got a great design, excellent handling, and decent fuel efficiency," a saleswoman in a gray office outfit, black stockings, and heels said with a sweet smile.

Su Chen glanced at the display behind her and let out a self-deprecating smile.

In his past life, he had come to this show hoping to buy a compact sedan for commuting. Under this very saleswoman's enthusiastic persuasion, he ended up choosing that Mazda.

How ironic—barely a month later, the apocalypse hit. The car he had just bought became useless scrap.

"Sorry, Mazdas tend to clog up the roads. Not really interested," Su Chen replied casually, walking into the car show, leaving the saleswoman puffing in frustration.

This auto show was massive, with plenty of luxury brands like Porsche, BBA, and even the famed "Bathtub Emperor."

Yet all of them were overshadowed by a single vehicle.

At the center of the show, surrounded by thick crowds, stood a monstrous RV that radiated sheer masculine power, like a beast of steel.

Seeing it, Su Chen couldn't help but smile in satisfaction.

That's right—his target was this ultimate dream machine for men, a doomsday-ready fortress on wheels: the Nomadisen.

If given the chance, Su Chen would've preferred to build a private apocalypse shelter like the world's billionaires.

For example, Zuckerberg had spent hundreds of millions constructing an underground bunker with its own food and energy supply—completely self-sufficient.

When doomsday came, those wealthy elites could simply ride it out in comfort.

But there was only a month left. There wasn't enough time to build something like that. Besides, Su Chen didn't have the funds.

Fortunately, this Nomadisen RV was the next best thing—a true fortress on wheels, perfect for surviving the apocalypse.

Su Chen pushed through the crowd, heading toward the display platform, but was stopped by a security guard.

"Sorry, sir. Without an appointment, you can't test drive or view the inside," the guard said politely.

Few people could afford a vehicle like the Nomadisen, so denying casual visitors made sense.

"Some things, if you're not born with them, you'll never have them," someone in the crowd commented.

"Yeah, cars like that aren't meant for regular folks like us," another laughed.

"I plan to buy this RV. Please call your manager," Su Chen said calmly, unfazed by being stopped.

His words brought an instant hush to the crowd.

Everyone turned to stare at him in shock. This was a luxury vehicle worth tens of millions. Could he really afford it?

"Are you… serious?" the guard asked, stunned.

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow coldly.

Years of struggling in the apocalypse had hardened him. His words carried an unmistakable tone of authority.

Seeing his unwavering gaze, the guard dared not argue and quickly asked a colleague to fetch the manager.

Su Chen ignored the guard and stepped onto the platform. The crowd watched with envy as he approached the Nomadisen.

Up close, the vehicle's imposing presence was even more breathtaking.

With its 8x8 military-grade chassis, over 10 meters in length, and nearly 4 meters tall—it was a true titan. At nearly 1.8 meters tall, Su Chen felt small next to it. The tires alone reached his chest.

He stepped onto the electric steps and entered the interior.

Inside, the Nomadisen was luxurious to the extreme. It had a fridge, TV, stove—all from top international brands. The bathroom had a fully automated toilet and separate wet and dry areas. A staircase led to the roof, which transformed into an open-air deck when elevated.

After touring the inside, Su Chen was thoroughly satisfied.

With a vehicle like this, he could live in comfort—even during the apocalypse.

Just as he was about to leave, a white light suddenly flashed above the driver's control panel, catching his attention.

The light transformed into a screen displaying text:

Doomsday Fortress - RV SystemRV Level: 1(Upgrade requires: 10 Energy Points)Current Energy: 0Vehicle Durability: 100%(When durability reaches 0, the RV will be scrapped. Can be repaired using energy.)Storage SpaceEnergy Shop…

What is this?

Su Chen blinked in surprise and instinctively tapped on "Storage Space."

The screen rippled, revealing something that looked like a video game inventory panel—currently empty, 0/9999.
