My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

’I wonder if they understood what I was trying to tell them.’

After arriving home, Li Xiang took stock of his warehouse. He had gathered a considerable amount of goods over the past few days, filling just under 800,000 cubic meters. Including the 200,000-plus cubic meters he already had, he had used up about half his storage.

He still had about a million cubic meters of enormous space left.

Even so, it was an immense quantity of supplies.

The main reasons he hadn’t filled it were a lack of time and the concern that plundering too much at once might attract unnecessary trouble.

He had a good handle on the right pace, planning to take a slow and steady approach. Besides, he wanted to visit other countries. ’The world is a big place; I should take the opportunity to see its sights before the Apocalypse, right?’

He still had nine years, which was more than enough time to gather supplies.

As for Thai Fragrant Rice, he had only collected 500,000 tons this time, mainly because he had no interest in old rice. Even last year’s harvest didn’t meet his standards.

’If I’m going to store rice, it has to be freshly harvested within the last three months.’

This year’s new crop of fragrant rice in Thailand wouldn’t be harvested until November or December, though some regions began as early as October. This period coincided with the dry season on the Indochina Peninsula, when reduced rainfall and abundant sunshine made it the perfect season for the rice to mature and be harvested.

Li Xiang planned to wait for the new rice to become available before plundering it in massive quantities.

’Old rice could never taste as good as a fresh harvest, could it?’

His system’s warehouse had a ”preservation” feature. Fresh rice went in, and fresh rice came out. This meant that even if it were stored for decades, he would still be able to eat fresh rice every day during the Apocalypse.

”These sticks are amazing! Brother Xiang is so thoughtful, getting us such high-quality vine sticks!” Lei Jiaming said as he led his men to move the vine sticks, which were sourced from the rainforests of Indonesia. Many of his men loved them so much they couldn’t bear to put them down.

A few of the women came over to pick some out as well. They chose the ones with a smaller diameter, while the men preferred the thicker ones.

But whether thick or thin, the quality was superb. They could bend a full 180 degrees, possessed astonishing elasticity, and were incredibly sturdy, dense, and heavy.

In an open area of the resort, Lei Jiaming’s hands were itching for a fight. He sparred with many of the security guards, none of whom could last more than five moves against him.

”Hey, sis, how about we have a round? I promise I’ll go easy on you.” Lei Jiaming then set his sights on his younger sister, Lei Xiaohui.

Lei Xiaohui pursed her lips. ”You think I need you to go easy on me? It’s more like I should be going easy on you.”

Lei Jiaming didn’t believe her. ’What you’re capable of? How would I not know? I’m the one who taught you everything you know!’

Seeing the two siblings were about to duel, the others started cheering and clapping, waiting eagerly to see what would happen.

And so, the brother and sister began their spar.

The moment they began, Lei Jiaming was already cursing inwardly. ’How is my sister’s staff technique so sharp?’ Despite her being a girl, every one of her moves was incomparably fierce, powerful, and heavy.

In less than ten moves, Lei Xiaohui sent his vine stick flying and knocked him to the ground with a single blow.

Everyone cheered and jeered. Lei Jiaming, unable to hide his embarrassment, complained, ”Sis, did you have to be so ruthless? You nearly broke my back!”

Lei Xiaohui laughed. ”You should practice more. Don’t walk around all day with that cocky attitude, thinking you’re invincible.”

Lei Jiaming scrambled up, rubbing his head and nodding repeatedly. In the past, he truly believed he was the unbeatable champion of the entire region. Then Li Xiang appeared out of nowhere, and he figured that while he couldn’t match Li Xiang, he was at least number two.

Well, this was just great. Now even his own sister was stronger than him. He’d have to drop another spot in the rankings and settle for being number three.

Little did he know that Lei Xiaohui had actually gone easy on him. If she had used her full strength, she could have taken him down in a single move.
