Rewriting My Fate in the Apocalypse

Lu Zhen was the first to wake up. He listened for a moment and realized that there was a group of people outside trying to pry the door open.

Unfortunately for them, the door was made of bulletproof and anti-explosion material. It was anti-theft and no matter how much they worked, they wouldn't be able to open it.

However, the noise was becoming a nuisance and at that moment, he was sure that his mother and the others must have been woken by the noise already.

Just as he was about to get out of bed and go and stop those people, Leng Pan grabbed his arm.

Lu Zhen looked down and found that his wife had woken up as well.

"Are you afraid, Baby?" Lu Zhen asked because he couldn't think of another reason why his wife would grab him like that.

"No, those few thugs can't scare me. But don't rush to go out. This is an opportunity for what we talked about before going to sleep." Leng Pan was amused by how cute her husband was.

How could she be scared by a few thugs who didn't even have the strength to open her door?

But she thought that the gods must be smiling on them because they were talking about letting their family know about the space and supplies they had before going to sleep.

However, they lacked the right opportunity to make sure that once they told them about the space, they wouldn't be carried away and let it slip.

Now that survivors had even come to their door to rob them, she was sure that her family would finally take the apocalypse seriously and guard their supplies with everything they had.

"Don't go out so soon. I am sure that Mom and the others must have woken up already. They wouldn't open the door and would probably wait for us.

Let them get scared first. This way, they will remember the importance of keeping their resources a secret, because if they slip up and let others know, then the result would be robbers visiting daily.

They won't be able to go out anymore because bandits will try robbing them at every turn." Leng Pan explained her logic and Lu Zhen agreed with her.

If they did that,he could be assured that Leng Pan's secret would remain a secret.

"Lu Tao can probably hear us. Lu Tao, if you are listening, try to scare Mom and the others as much as possible.

Invent stories if you have to, just make your goal simple. To convince them that if they have a source of supplies, they must keep it a secret even if they die." Lu Zhen said in a serious tone.

Lu Tao, who had indeed been listening and had heard their whole conversation, didn't know why her brother and sister-in-law would want to do that, but he trusted them unconditionally.

Therefore, he decided to follow his brother's instructions and scare his elders to tears.

Therefore, Lu Tao's career as a liar began.

He pretended to focus and used his X-ray vision to look outside and reported to his elders who were huddled together in the living room sofa.

Especially the women, they were literally shaking like leaves in autumn. Uncle Li sat on a single seater sofa on the side, but one could tell that he was worried.

Lu Tao didn't dare to tell complete lies because he knew that in the end, they would all go outside and see the situation.

Thus, he mixed truths and lies so that once the situation was clear, he would not be exposed.

"There are about a dozen people outside. They are all carrying weapons and a couple of them have guns.

It looks like a good number of them are superpower users. They seem to have come prepared." Lu Tao after examining the people outside realized that he didn't even need to come up with any lies.

Everything he said was true. However, what caught his attention was the people pushing and pulling each other near the elevator.

He recognized them as their neighbors from the tenth floor who had been fighting over conning people off their supplies.

He could see that the woman had probably colluded with the group of people banging on their door at the moment.

Her husband was already red in the face pulling her back into the elevator and trying to convince her to leave.

He also recognized another neighbor in the group. He lived on the sixth floor. Lu Tao remembered that the man had been one of those who had been watching his brother and sister-in-law like a hawk.

Always peeping at them when they left and when they came back after a supply run or training session.

"There are neighbors involved. It looks like our family collecting supplies has attracted unwanted attention and people are banding together to rob us.

It looks like exposing our resources will lead to a lot of trouble. Luckily for us, the doors of our apartment are fortified. If it was a normal door, they would have broken in by now." This was a little exaggerated but it was his brother's instructions.

"So, our neighbors have sold us out to bandits to get robbed?" Li Yunjia asked with astonishment.

She had not expected people who were supposed to be neighbors and protecting each other to be the ones hurting them.

"I think that the apocalypse is not a place where trust can be given like before. You can't trust anyone because you don't know when they will turn against you for their own benefits." Lu Tao said just to drive the point home.

The three elders who had grown up in an environment where trust didn't need too much sacrifice were finding this a bitter pill to swallow.

However, as the noise outside intensified, they started to understand that the world had changed. To survive and get a meal now, someone might even betray their own kin.

It was not surprising to see strangers attacking them for the supplies they had collected recently.
