Granting Official Posts to Apocalypse Heroes

**Heretic** Shi Xiao never anticipated that after a night's sleep, she would awaken to find herself transported back to a time before the apocalypse, back to when everything was still intact! In her previous existence, her parents perished at the onset of the apocalypse. She believed she could rely on her fiancé, but he had already been entangled with her cousin! They betrayed her, tormented her for three years, and ultimately pushed her into a swarm of zombies, leading to her demise... Hao Jingye read the novel in a straightforward manner— Shi Xiao thought of something, retrieved the bracelet her fiancé had stolen and given to her cousin in her previous life, cut her finger, and let her blood drip onto it... Sure enough, the ancestral jade bracelet on her wrist was a space, with mountains and water, vast and immense, like another world! The jade bracelet disappeared, leaving a faint mark on her wrist. Shi Xiao thought of her cousin's 'space ability' in her previous life, gritted her teeth, and vowed that this time, she would... Sheng An raised her hand to interrupt. She spat out a cherry pit, popped another one into her mouth, and mumbled, "Summarize it, I'm getting a headache listening to it." It was really hard for someone like her to sit here and patiently listen to a novel. Hao Jingye quickly flipped through the pages and summarized, "Later, Shi Xiao fiercely took revenge on her ex-fiancé and her cousin. The cousin lived a miserable life and was eventually thrown into a horde of zombies and died horribly. The ex-fiancé was filled with regret and pain, and he too met a tragic end. And Shi Xiao met a handsome and powerful male protagonist with abilities. The two of them lived in seclusion, with no shortage of food and drink, loved each other for a lifetime, and even had a child." Sheng An's expression became complicated for a moment. After a while, she asked, "And then?" Hao Jingye looked up blankly, "That's it." Sheng An: "?" Hao Jingye glanced at her face, testing the waters, "Sister Sheng... you don't like it?" Sheng An's mouth twitched, and she suddenly said seriously, "Don't read these love stories, they're unhealthy." Hao Jingye paused and cautiously said, "This website is very clean, it doesn't allow any explicit content, it's quite healthy?" Sheng An smiled slightly, "I mean it makes my mind unhealthy." They've been reborn, it's the apocalypse. With a space that has mountains and water, like another world, a space that could even change the apocalyptic world... and the owner is still entangled in emotions every day, with nothing else but emotions. For someone with her temperament, it gives her a headache. Sheng An took a big bite of a cherry, trying to maintain her patience while sitting. Hao Jingye, hearing this, silently searched through his materials. Soon, his eyes lit up, "This is from another website, an apocalyptic rebirth story, focusing on career!" Sheng An showed some interest, spat out a cherry pit, and continued eating. "Tell me what it's about." Hao Jingye read quickly. Xu Qingqing was reborn. In her previous life, when the apocalypse came, she went from being a rich second generation to the lowest level of ordinary people in an instant. The money in her bank card turned into bubbles, her house, car, and company lost all value... She vowed to stockpile supplies like crazy, never to go hungry again! At this time, Xu Qingqing suddenly discovered she had a golden finger—space. After selling her car and house, Xu Qingqing had a billion yuan. She started hoarding supplies like crazy... rice, flour, oil, she wanted to convert all her billion into supplies so she could live comfortably in the apocalypse... Sheng An paused in her cherry-eating and looked at Hao Jingye with a strange expression, "Hoarding?" Hao Jingye nodded seriously, "Yes, it's a hoarding rebirth story, very popular on this website. The first part is mostly about hoarding, buying like crazy. Later, when the apocalypse comes, the world falls into chaos. The female protagonist has no shortage of food or drink, lives in seclusion in the mountains, and occasionally goes to human settlements to slap supporting characters in the face, living quite comfortably." Sheng An frowned, "What about the country? The government? The army?" Buying a billion yuan worth of supplies, how could it not attract attention? Hao Jingye thought for a moment and explained, "When the disaster strikes, the country is in chaos, order collapses, so it's called the apocalypse?" In other words, none of them are effective. Sheng An: "..." She was silent for a moment, then asked, "What about the supplies in the space?" Hao Jingye: "The female protagonist eats and drinks, and the rest are still in the space by the end?" Sheng An looked at him expressionlessly. Without her saying a word, Hao Jingye already understood. That was a billion worth of supplies! If it were in Sheng An's hands, in such a chaotic world, it would be enough for her to unify the world. Novels are just for enjoyment. But Sheng An was a public servant, and the type of apocalyptic rebirth stories she wanted to understand was not of this kind. Sheng An: "Change to another one." After a pause, she added, "Change to another website." Hao Jingye nodded and quickly found another one. When the apocalypse came, Zhang Aotian awakened a powerful dark ability, slapping in the face those who looked down on him, rising from a small character to an apocalyptic big shot, collecting underlings, collecting a harem, and owning the entire apocalyptic world, becoming... Sheng An couldn't eat the cherries anymore, threw the paper bag behind her, pushed open the car door, and got out. She looked about twenty-five years old, tall and slender, standing at 1.7 meters. She had her hair tied in a high ponytail, wore no makeup, had delicate features, and her skin was not the trendy pale but had a healthy wheat color. She wore a simple windbreaker, walked like the wind, exuding an imposing aura. Her beautiful phoenix eyes swept around, carrying a sharp look. Hao Jingye put away his laptop, tablet, and various materials and quickly followed. "Sister Sheng, aren't you going to continue understanding rebirth stories?" Hao Jingye lowered his voice. He wasn't younger than Sheng An, but calling her "sister" came naturally. Sheng An: "No more rebirth stories, let's get straight to the point." Hao Jingye's expression became serious, his gaze instantly focused. The two walked quickly to the bottom of a residential building. Hao Jingye reported in a low voice, "Jiang Yu, lives in Building 3 of Jia Qing Bay. Yesterday, we received a report from the residents that Jiang Yu has been acting very strangely for the past five days. First, she replaced the glass, installed a thick security door, and then bought an iron gate... Also, there are other unusual incidents involving her, highly suspecting her as a heretic." Heretic, a person with supernatural phenomena. Sheng An: "Is this the fifth one?" Hao Jingye nodded. Their newly established "Apocalyptic Special Affairs Department" was indeed very special, with the highest authority. At the same time, it was destined to deal with heretics. Sheng An: "Let's go, let's find the complainant first." Jia Qing Bay was an old neighborhood, but the greenery was well-maintained, and it was common to see elderly ladies gathering to bask in the sun or cool off. The complainants were two of these elderly ladies. Hao Jingye took out his police credentials. When dealing with ordinary people, the identity of an ordinary police officer was the most useful. Sure enough, the elderly ladies who had been curiously observing them became friendly immediately after matching the photo on the credentials. Sheng An smiled and asked, "Can we talk to you two aunts to understand the situation?" "Of course, it's our duty to cooperate with the state!" one of the elderly ladies replied. Sheng An: "Do you all remember the young girl in Building 3 who installed the iron door?" * Meanwhile, upstairs. Jiang Yu was inventorying her belongings. After being reborn, the first thing she did was break up with her scumbag boyfriend. When he left, he sneakily took her ancestral jade bracelet. Jiang Yu felt something was wrong and got it back. Sure enough, the bracelet was a space! Jiang Yu was initially overjoyed, then she hugged the bracelet and cried. It turned out the space was really hers. In her previous life, everything Chen Jiao enjoyed with the space was because of her! Their happiness came at the cost of her bones and blood. "Heaven is indeed fair, giving me a chance to do it all over again, allowing me to take revenge on the scumbag and giving me time to hoard supplies, so I wouldn't end up as miserable as I did in my previous life..." Who could have thought? In 21 days, this well-ordered world would become an apocalypse? Fortunately, she was reborn, and she would definitely not end up like she did in her previous life. Thinking of her previous life, Jiang Yu shivered. Luckily, there were still 21 days, but only 21 days to prepare. The first thing Jiang Yu did for the apocalypse was to change the windows and doors. In her previous life, their neighborhood was a survivor zone, still existing when the disaster struck. She changed the doors and windows not for her own residence but to prevent anyone from damaging the house her parents left her in the future. For this, she also bought an iron gate. When the apocalypse came, she would install it in the hallway, not letting anyone get close to her house. The reason she waited until the apocalypse to install it was to avoid attracting attention. Just changing the doors and windows wouldn't attract much attention. Who cares about other people's business these days? * Downstairs. Sheng An and Hao Jingye listened attentively, while Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wu spoke passionately. A group of elderly men and women who had just returned from dancing came over. One of them asked, "Little Zhang, Little Wu, what are you talking about?" Aunt Zhang, quick to speak, said, "These two are police officers. We were talking about the girl in 605 of Building 3!" The group of elderly men and women immediately perked up and gathered around. Retired life was about finding fun for themselves, and for their generation, it wasn't called gossiping; it was called being enthusiastic. "Is it that young girl?" "Oh dear, that girl was fine before, but recently, she suddenly changed her personality. She even broke up with her boyfriend." "Her boyfriend cheated." "How do you know?" "A man and a woman came to argue with her a few days ago. I heard it. It seemed to involve a bracelet." "She is quite strange. She even changed all the doors and windows. Is she guarding against that man and woman? But there's no need to change them so well and so expensively, right?" "Did she order it from the building materials market?" "Yes, from Little Zhao's store." ... Old Zhao said, "Not only did she change the doors and windows, but she also ordered an iron gate, the size of our hallway, the most sturdy one, capable of withstanding bomb-level damage. My nephew's store didn't have it, so we had to order it from the manufacturer. The manufacturer was even puzzled by her request." "Did she hear some apocalypse rumors online?" "Very likely. Young people these days are quite strange." * Upstairs. Jiang Yu thought of her space again and became excited. Having space was really convenient! For example, the iron gate, heavy and thick, she had it placed in the unmonitored basement. When no one was around, she immediately put it into the space effortlessly. Jiang Yu even thought that if she suddenly encountered danger, releasing the iron gate could crush someone to death, right? This was truly a golden finger essential for home and travel! And as long as she used it carefully, who could know she had space? * Downstairs. "Why didn't she install the iron gate?" "Who knows? Haven't seen it." Aunt Zhang leaned closer to Sheng An and lowered her voice, "The people from the building materials market delivered it to the basement. It took several people to move it. Such a big, heavy thing, and we didn't see the girl move it. It's very strange." Sheng An's eyes moved, and she raised an eyebrow. * Upstairs. Jiang Yu looked at the supplies in her space. Shopping was convenient these days. She placed orders online and had the delivery guys bring them to her home. As soon as they left, she immediately put them into the space. Ordering from multiple stores, she hoarded supplies without drawing attention. Jiang Yu smiled, "Good thing I have this space. Otherwise, where would I put so many supplies? The house wouldn't fit them, and it would attract attention. The space is better. Even if something unexpected happens, I can just walk away..." In her previous life, she had seen firsthand the fate of those who had no skills but carried a lot of supplies. When she went elsewhere, she only needed to carry a backpack. Not drawing attention and using the space to meet all her needs. And who could know how many supplies she had? * Downstairs. Another old man came up to "police officer" Sheng An and said in a shocked tone, "Officer, you don't know, that girl bought a lot of stuff. Just rice, she bought 135 bags yesterday, all 50 kg each!" An elderly lady in a dance outfit chimed in, "Yes, I saw it too. Several delivery guys took turns running errands. It was quite a sight!" "She also bought 120 bags of flour, 5 boxes of salt, 5 boxes of sugar, and..." "Just the bottled water, Old Chen delivered 100 bottles!" "Who buys things like that? How can she use it all?" "Can't fit it all in the room, right?" * Upstairs. Jiang Yu: "Who can enter my space and count?" Downstairs. Aunt Zhang: "I counted clearly. She bought a total of 160 bags of rice, 120 bags of flour, 100 packs of salt, 100 packs of sugar, and star anise and cinnamon altogether..." Upstairs. Jiang Yu: "Even if the apocalypse comes, no one will suspect me." Downstairs. Aunt Wu: "Officer, we suspect she's a spy!"
