Apocalypse Rebirth: Crazy from Day One

The room had previously contained only a single empty table, and on that table, surprising little things would occasionally appear, each one very useful to her.

But this time, when she entered the small room, she discovered many new items and even home appliances inside.

It looked like a place where someone could actually live.

This change made Stella Sterling raise her eyebrows in surprise. ’My space is really getting more and more fantastical.’

’Then again, a blood bracelet acknowledging a master, a pocket dimension manifesting...’

’That kind of thing was already fantastical to begin with.’

’So, even if more inconceivable things happened, it wasn’t really that strange.’

She increasingly felt that, yes, this space was quite suitable for living in.

After marveling for a moment, she turned her gaze to the usual table.

Usually, only one or two things would appear on that table, three at most.

But now, the once-empty table was piled high.

The first thing she saw made her eyes light up.

Space Manipulation Technique!

Seeing those words made Stella’s heart skip a beat.

Before, she had to figure out everything about the space on her own. What other functions did it have? How could she use the space to gain more benefits and become stronger? She had to explore it all bit by bit or discover things by chance.

But now, a book on the Space Manipulation Technique had actually appeared. This would save her a lot of time in the future.

She casually flipped through a couple of pages, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

’This space really is something else, and it has so many undeveloped functions.’

A thrill of excitement coursed through her, and she felt a surge of impatience, but she managed to suppress it and look at the other items.

Infinite Strength Water, 3 bottles.

Can be diluted with water. One drop can be mixed with fifty kilograms of water. A person who drinks Infinite Strength Water will have their strength increased tenfold compared to normal, with no side effects.

’Another great item.’

Looking at it, Stella Sterling thought of the people she had just recruited.

’I can have them all try it when the time comes.’

’Just imagine, all my people becoming incredibly strong. With some proper, formal training, every one of them would be an elite.’

Suppressing her excitement, she looked at the other items.

Weapon Replication Card!

Can replicate any weapon. Can perform large-scale replication. Can only be used once a month.

Wondering if it was as literal as it sounded, Stella Sterling immediately took out the gun she had used earlier today.

She wanted to test the function, but after a moment’s thought, she took out all the weapons she had obtained before.

A moment later, Stella Sterling stared at the doubled pile of items, the shock leaving her almost numb.

’This thing is just too overpowered! With this, I won’t have to worry about running out of weapons anymore. I can use them without holding back.’

She checked, and they were truly identical.

Even the machine gun she had used today was replicated perfectly, right down to the exact number of bullets remaining in the magazine. There was no difference at all.

She sucked in a sharp breath.

Amid her excitement, a sliver of worry appeared. The space’s functions were so ridiculously powerful that she was becoming more and more dependent on it. If one day the space went out of control, or if everything it had given her was taken back, it would be a devastating blow.

This feeling of something being beyond her control was deeply unsettling.

Then, she thought of the book: the Space Manipulation Technique.

Her heart slowly calmed.

’No matter how powerful or heaven-defying the space is...’

’...as long as I can gain complete control over it, it will have no choice but to serve me.’

’Besides, no matter how amazing the space is, I can’t let my own strength fall behind. The power I build within myself is the only power that truly belongs to me.’

’Then, no matter how powerful the space becomes, it will just be a tool in the palm of my hand.’

"How interesting!"

She chuckled and looked at the remaining items.

The other items were also good, each with its own function, and their effects were truly beyond her imagination. However, compared to the first few, the surprise they brought was much smaller.

In addition, the space also gave her a few more bottles of the Loyal Servant Pill.

She put all the items away. In the storage area, she had dedicated a shelf just for these things. The shelf was already quite full with everything she had received over the past two years.

After doing all this, Stella Sterling sat down in a chair and took out the Space Manipulation Technique book to read.

It didn’t just teach her how to control the space; it also contained methods for strengthening her own body, similar to the Human Potential Development Technique, but far more profound and esoteric.

Time passed without her noticing. Over the past two years, thanks to her occasional "feedings," the space’s restrictions on her had gradually lessened.

Before, she could only stay for a certain period before having to leave. Now, she could stay as long as she wanted, with no restrictions.

In other words, if she wanted to, she could live out her entire life alone in this space, even if the world outside was destroyed.

’But a life like that would be terribly boring.’

Time passed unknowingly until she heard the sounds of many people outside. She then exited the space, knowing that Luke Lawrence and the others had returned.

At that moment, Stephen Lawrence was organizing the new recruits.

Over the past few days, although their base hadn’t been fully established yet, Stephen Lawrence and Shane Lawrence’s efforts had resulted in the construction of quite a few livable houses.

They were a bit crowded, but they could still house a decent number of people. Besides, they didn’t have that many members yet, so everyone had a place to stay.

Now that the manpower had arrived, Caeluna’s base would be established very soon.

The new recruits looked at the crude settlement. Although there was a significant gap between this and what they had imagined, no one complained.

They had already witnessed Caeluna’s strength, so they didn’t dare to complain. Moreover, the two men who recruited them had already given them a general overview of the situation here, so they were mentally prepared.

After Stephen Lawrence had mostly settled the new people in, he handed the remaining tasks over to Shane Lawrence.

Then he went to report to Stella Sterling.

"Caeluna has just been established, but we have no worries about food and drink. For now, we don’t need to fight anyone for territory. So, let’s have every hand focus on building the base!"

"Also, keep a close eye on the first twenty-seven people who joined today. If they show potential, train them up. They can become our junior management in the future!"

"This is the key to the granary; I’m giving it to you now. I remember a few of the people who signed up today know how to cook. Have some good food made for them tonight as a celebration. It’ll boost their morale, help them settle in, and get them to focus on their work!"
