Renault opened his eyes and immediately felt refreshed!  

Lying next to him was a beautiful flight attendant in uniform.  

Renault froze. What was going on? Had the apocalypse started?  

He remembered it clearly — the apocalypse had arrived, and humanity had faced catastrophic devastation.  

Zombies rampaged across the world, pushing humanity to the brink of extinction.  

Renault had once received a strange space ability, allowing him to survive in the last days for a while.  

But in the end, he was still ambushed and killed by mutated creatures.  

At the moment of his death, Renault felt a wave of overwhelming regret.  

When he suddenly opened his eyes again, he felt like he had awakened in an entirely different reality.  

He carefully studied the flight attendant beside him.  

Hmm? She seemed familiar, with that tempting uniform...  

Could this be a dream?  

Renault thought bitterly, suppressing the harsh memories of the apocalypse and enjoying this fleeting dream with a beautiful flight attendant.  

"Renault, what's wrong?"  

The flight attendant noticed Renault's silence and asked, her voice soft and a bit concerned.  

In shock, Renault looked up at her name badge, which read "Su Xiao."  

"Su Xiao?"  

“Holy crap!”  

Renault suddenly realized something — was this before the apocalypse? Had he gone back in time to before the end of the world, when he was still enjoying a peaceful life on an airplane?  

In a panic, Renault quickly looked at his phone.  

The screen showed the date: **October 23, 2022**.  

It was ten days before the end of the world!  

He had indeed returned to a time just before the apocalypse was set to strike.  

Frantically, he checked his left arm, where he felt a slight sting. He found that the timer marking the countdown to the apocalypse had returned.  

The countdown system he had acquired in his previous life was still active. It displayed the time left before the apocalypse: **10 days, 23 hours, and 59 minutes**.  

When the countdown reaches zero, no matter how strong or resourceful a person is, they will perish in the apocalypse unless they are prepared.  

However, the higher a person’s remaining "survival value" by the end, the stronger they would become, enhancing their resistance and powers.  

The system allowed him to collect "energy" by trading or killing creatures. He could store this energy and use it to improve his powers.  

As the world descended into chaos, traditional currency became useless. Survival resources, strength, and abilities became the new currency.  

Renault had once accumulated over a thousand units of energy in his previous life.  

But, he had lost it all due to carelessness.  

Despite the loss, Renault remained calm. Based on his experience, he had confidence that he could survive in the apocalypse, perhaps even thrive.  

For Renault, the number of energy points was just a starting point. He could always earn more.  

According to the system, various levels of strength could be reached by accumulating energy.  

For instance:  

- 100 to 1000 units was level 1.  

- 1000 to 10,000 units was level 2.  

- 10,000 to 100,000 units was level 3.  

- 100 million to 1 billion units was level 9.  

Renault had barely reached level 5 in his previous life.  

But now, with the countdown reset, he had a fresh start, and this time, he was ready.  

"Ten days... I need to make the most of them!"  

It seemed like this wasn’t a dream after all. Renault excitedly clenched his fists.  

He remembered the apocalypse would bring about the emergence of special abilities in certain individuals, called “Awakeners.” Each person awakened a unique power.  

Some people awakened combat abilities, others developed extraordinary talents, and some gained rare and powerful powers.  

Renault, in this life, had retained his "space ability," allowing him to store items in a separate dimension. This ability had helped him survive longer than most in his previous life.  

Back then, resources were incredibly scarce, and his spatial ability became his biggest advantage.  

The apocalypse had made money worthless, and survival depended on resources and strength. Renault now had the perfect ability for the harsh world ahead.  

With ten days left, Renault knew exactly what to do.  

He started planning to gather as many supplies as he could, intending to stockpile enough to survive for years.  

Food, water, medicine — everything that might be valuable in the apocalypse.  

Armed with his knowledge of the future, Renault headed straight to the nearest supermarket, filling his space with as many supplies as possible.  

Though he was now ten days ahead of the disaster, Renault knew better than to form alliances or rely on others.  

The apocalypse was a time when trust was dangerous, and resources were scarce. People would kill for food and supplies, leaving even the most well-prepared individuals vulnerable.  

That’s why Renault chose to go solo, preparing quietly and avoiding attention.  

He had to stay smart, stockpile everything he could, and get ready to survive the hell that was about to be unleashed.
