It wasn't until Sha Zhu was 18 and started working in the Steel Rolling Plant's kitchen that his life improved.
In those days, it was said that one lived off the mountains by the mountains and off the waters by the waters. As a cook, one of the eight major staff members, he had the benefit of leftovers, and with Sha Zhu's constantly increasing salary, his days finally had a promising outlook.
However, good times didn't last long. After three years, Sha Zhu's apprenticeship ended, and the factory also assigned him a rank.
Logically, his life should have gotten better and better, but human hearts were not what they used to be. Sha Zhu had been brainwashed by Yi Zhonghai early on and would occasionally subsidize Yi Zhonghai's apprentice, the Jia family.
In the beginning, Sha Zhu still had some sense of proportion, only occasionally sending a lunchbox.
It wasn't until the last and most difficult year of the famine in 1961 that Jia Dongxu had an accident and suddenly passed away.
Sha Zhu's "mutual help" became even more intense and unrestrained!
If it were truly mutual help, that would be fine, but Sha Zhu was just wishful thinking. He couldn't even touch the widow's small hand, turning into a hot bun thrown to a dog—gone without a trace.
Since then, He Yushui suffered, but fortunately, He Yushui had already entered high school and moved into a dormitory, out of sight, out of mind!
He Yushui had seen through the Qin Courtyard's schemes early on, but Sha Zhu was truly a fool. After repeatedly trying to warn him to no avail, He Yushui, left with no choice, could only extricate herself. After graduating from high school, she worked at the Textile Factory and moved into the Textile Factory's dormitory, getting herself out of the situation.
Perhaps because of a lack of security since childhood, with both her father and brother falling into the hands of a widow, or perhaps fearing future entanglement with the Qin Courtyard, He Yushui's goal for finding a spouse was exceptionally clear. In the end, as she wished, she found a small police officer.
She originally thought her life would continue this way, peacefully, but her Silly Ge was simply troublesome, foolishly getting involved in crimes like kidnapping and framing, which led the small police officer, who didn't love her to begin with, to break up with her!
Finally, the original body died of a broken heart, and Yu Shui from another World transmigrated over.
After digesting the original body's memories, He Yushui's face broke into a joyful smile!
"From now on, I am He Yushui!"
Thinking of not having to face mutated beasts and plants anymore, He Yushui was overjoyed.
Suddenly, He Yushui's eyes narrowed, realizing that Xu Damao in her memories was somewhat different from the one in the TV show. He Yushui muttered to herself, "Could Xu Damao also be a transmigrator?"
But He Yushui quickly relaxed. In her previous life, the World changed dramatically overnight, and the apocalypse arrived, which was already absurd enough. Now that she was sure she had transmigrated, another transmigrator was nothing to be surprised about!
In her previous life, she had a happy and complete family. Her parents were in business, and her family was very well-off from a young age. However, a plane accident made her an orphan.
Fortunately, she was already sixteen at the time and had the inheritance left by her parents, so she lived a comfortable life.
Time is the best medicine. Two years allowed her to emerge from the shadow of her parents' passing.
Through her own efforts, she got into university. Having no financial pressure, she chose to start her own business after graduation.
As time went on, her career progressed, and she also found her other half.
Just as everything was developing in a good direction, fate seemed to play a joke.
Overnight, the World changed dramatically, plants and animals mutated, and the true end of the World arrived.
Spiritual energy recovered, and while plants and animals mutated, humans also evolved various abilities.
And she was lucky enough to awaken both speed and wood-element abilities.
The speed ability was powerful in the early stages but average later on. Because of the speed ability, Yu Shui escaped danger many times in the early stages of the apocalypse.
The wood-element ability was very weak in the early stages, but in the later stages, it allowed her to control mutated plants!
Because of this, Yu Shui took her fiancé and leveled up, building her own base.
Yu Shui's fiancé was a water-element ability user, while her best friend awakened a space ability.
Although their abilities lacked offensive power, they were indispensable for logistical supply.
Through the efforts of the three, their base grew larger and larger, its scale being one of the best in District F.
As time passed, everyone had adapted to life in the apocalypse. Seeing that the future was developing in a good direction, Yu Shui also began to consider major life events.
But things didn't go as planned. Her fiancé and best friend got together early. Seeing that Yu Shui's desire to marry could no longer be hidden, they completely dropped their pretense. After knocking Yu Shui unconscious, they abolished her abilities.
At the moment of her death, her best friend told her the truth.
It turned out that her best friend had not awakened a space ability, but rather the most powerful of all abilities: lightning-element.
As for her space, it was entirely due to a necklace Yu Shui had given her on her birthday.
That necklace was the key to a secret realm, and because of this secret realm, she never had to worry about food or drink, and she thrived after the apocalypse.
Yu Shui, learning the truth, was filled with resentment. After she died, her vengeful spirit could not dissipate for a long time. It was then that she realized she had been living in a female-oriented apocalypse novel, where her best friend was the protagonist, her fiancé was the male lead, and she was merely a vicious female supporting character who provided a cheat for the protagonist.
Perhaps even heaven couldn't stand it anymore. Just as her vengeful spirit was about to dissipate, Yu Shui was reborn one year before the apocalypse.
The reborn Yu Shui was ecstatic, because everything was still salvageable. At this moment, her best friend was holding a birthday party, and she was on her way to the party. The key to the secret realm was currently in her hand!
Yu Shui immediately changed direction and returned home, and after several attempts, she successfully made the secret realm recognize her as its owner.
Rather than a secret realm, it was more like a small World, complete with a spiritual spring.
With foresight, Yu Shui sold her company, and using her parents' inheritance and the money from selling her company, she frantically stockpiled goods all over the World for the next year!
A year later, the apocalypse arrived as scheduled. Yu Shui completely embarked on a path of revenge, successively torturing and killing her fiancé and best friend. Afterward, she single-handedly established the base from her previous life!
With the lessons learned from her previous life, Yu Shui was destined to find it difficult to trust anyone in this life. Although her life was worry-free, Yu Shui never truly felt happy.
This story is quite outlandish, a typical female-oriented apocalypse revenge tale!
But what came next was even more outlandish. As time passed, humanity destroyed mutated beasts and plants, once again returning to the top of the food chain.
Just as the apocalypse seemed to be leaving, the Abyss suddenly descended.
Spatial gates appeared in many places around the World, and on the other side of these spatial gates was the terrifying Abyss.
It contained countless mutated beasts and plants. In an instant, the peaceful World was once again occupied by these mutated beasts and plants.
