A loud buzzing echoed in her ears, and Ji Wanwan, sitting in the chair, shuddered and appeared to be momentarily distracted.

System?

She attempted to access her data.

[Physical Strength: 5 Endurance: 5]

[Strength: 5 Agility: 5]

[Spirit: 15 Charm: 20]

She couldn't confirm the reality of the System for the time being, but the environment was all too familiar to her.

She glanced around.

The old family room in the residence bore the marks of years of wear, and seated in the central place of honor was an old woman with a broad back and large waist.

To the old woman's right sat a middle-aged couple.

At the moment, the old woman was pointing at Ji Wanwan's nose, her eyes wide with anger, a fierce and menacing figure.

Ji Wanwan's eyebrows furrowed deeply.

Wasn't this her Second Uncle, Second Aunt, and Second Aunt's shrewd, old mother, who always acted high and mighty due to her age?

This scene?

Didn't it resemble the last time they came to morally coerce Mother, forcing them to sell the house?

Right, wasn't she dead?

Could it be that she was reborn?

"Ji Wanwan, whether the house is sold or not is not up to you to decide! Your parents have already agreed! What are you still shouting about, you sickly, good-for-nothing burden!"

The fat old lady was spitting saliva from her mouth, her cheeks trembling with anger.

Second Aunt hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Wanwan, don't be stubborn, look, your parents have loosened up..."

Ji Wanwan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This area was full of self-constructed houses, each family building two or three-story buildings. A few days ago, Zhou Kai, the CEO of Chengyu Group, came here to scout the area and directly expressed his interest in the land, saying that demolition would proceed by the end of the year.

The fact that Second Uncle's family wanted to buy a house at this time made it clear as day that they were after a profitable deal!

Since childhood, Second Uncle had taken advantage of their grandmother's blind devotion to him, gaining benefits from the main family without restraint.

Because she detested Second Uncle's behavior, she was determined not to sell the house.

After hearing their words, Ji Wanwan was absolutely sure, she was reborn! A gratified smile spread across her face.

Three days after the issue of selling the house was settled, the zombie crisis erupted, and the apocalypse arrived.

Survival in the apocalypse was already difficult, and she had been frail since childhood. To build a refuge to protect her family, she had to compete for supplies with Awakeners who had superpowers, even losing her right hand in the process.

Second Uncle's family somehow found out about her refuge and had the audacity to come begging with thick faces, using the issue of not selling the house to morally coerce her mother into taking them in.

Mother's heart softened for a moment, and she let them in.

But later on, Second Uncle's family took over the nest, complaining that her family was only depleting the scarce resources, and they cruelly kicked her and her brother out of the refuge.

Father Ji, in order to protect his family, led away the first wave of zombies, followed by Mother...

To protect her, the 'useless person' without a right hand, her brother pushed her and said, "Sister, run!"

She saw with her own eyes her brother being overwhelmed by zombies, and she was always haunted by nightmares of her brother lying in a pool of blood, crying out, "Sister, it hurts..."

The sacrifice of her family's lives only allowed her to cling to survival for one more year in the apocalypse. She heard that the original refuge she had established became a large base capable of housing tens of thousands of people, but she herself eventually died of an infection due to lack of supplies.

In this life, she would protect her family well and not let the refuge be taken away again.

She looked at the sly family seated on the opposite sofa. "Fine, the house can be sold, but I have one condition."

Seeing her relent, Second Aunt was overjoyed, "Deal! What's your condition? I'll meet it if I can!"

Ji Wanwan held up a finger, "One million, I want the money in my account within an hour!"

The room fell silent as soon as she finished speaking.

"What?!" The old lady slammed the table and stood up, "Ji Wanwan, have you gone mad for money? This shabby house of yours in such a remote place is worth at most 600,000!"

Ji Wanwan glanced disdainfully at the old lady and held up five fingers, "I'm going to count to five. If you want to buy it, buy it; if not, get lost!"

"Five!"

"Ji Wanwan! What kind of attitude is this! We are your elders!"

"Four!"

"We're all family here, you're asking for too much; it hurts our feelings!"

Ji Wanwan frowned impatiently, "Three!"

"How about a little less, 650,000!"

"Two!"

"Ji Wanwan! Don't be ungrateful!"

"One!"

"We'll buy it, we'll buy it! But we only have 800,000!" Second Aunt was the first to cave in.

Second Uncle lost his fight as well. Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji looked over.

Worried she might change her mind, Second Aunt said, "We agree to 800,000, I'll go to the bank right now!"

As if it was a joke, the compensation for the house if demolished was way more than 800,000—she would never settle for a loss!

She absolutely could not let Ji Wanwan sell the house to someone else!

[Task countdown: 1 hour and 30 minutes.]

There was a bank in the residential area so Ji Wanwan urged Second Uncle to get it done quickly.

Suspicion flashed across Second Uncle's face, "Why must the transfer be done within an hour?"

Ji Wanwan made up a reason on the spot, "Investing with a classmate."

Investing? Second Uncle thought she would lose even her underwear: "Huh, your parents raised you well."

Ji Wanwan massaged her right hand, which was intact after her rebirth, noncommittally, "Indeed."

Second Uncle, feeling foolish, quickly completed the transfer.

With the money in hand, she could build a safe refuge full of supplies!

Being physically weak, her parents advanced in age, and the only capable person in the household, her younger brother, having just come of age—if they didn't have a safe refuge, her family would once again repeat the tragedies of their past life.

Eight hundred thousand had been deposited into Father Ji's bank account.

After Second Uncle and Ji Wanwan returned home, Second Aunt immediately started to push them out, "We've given you the money, when are you transferring the house? When will you move out?"

Ji Wanwan was unfazed, "Second Aunt, you have to give us some time to move into a new house, right? Come to collect the house and transfer the property in two days; how does that sound?"

Two days later, the apocalypse would come.

That's how vengeful Ji Wanwan was; last time, they had caused the death of her parents and brother. No matter what she did in this life, it could never be considered excessive.

The old lady agreed, "Alright, we'll come to collect the house the morning after next."

With the money in hand, Ji Wanwan was no longer interested in squabbling with Second Aunt and sent the detestable trio away.

Less than an hour remained to complete the task; she needed to hurry!

Beside her, Mr. Ji's face was covered with worry, "With only two days to find another house and move, isn't it a bit too rushed?"

Ji Wanwan snapped back to reality, "Dad, why don't you let me handle the money? I'll definitely sort out the housing issue within two days!"

Mr. Ji knew his daughter was not robust, but she always had ideas.

After some thought, he felt it was okay to entrust the matter to his daughter and handed the card over, "As long as the house is liveable, don't spend it recklessly."

The moment she took the card, it disappeared from her fingertips.

[Detected a bank card worth 800,000 yuan, current task progress 80/100]

[Task countdown: 1 hour.]

"Mom and dad, first call my brother to come home, I have something to tell you."
