Doomsday: with unlimited warehouse system

11 The grudge from the previous life

Today is the last day before the arrival of Doomsday. In just a month, time has flown by. If nothing unexpected happens, the virus will fully outbreak tomorrow at noon, turning approximately 80% of the global population into zombies. It goes against scientific knowledge, and the synchronized outbreak of the virus at the same time is incredibly eerie.

The virus seems to have been coordinated, erupting simultaneously and turning countless humans into walking corpses and animals into terrifying mutants. Due to the suddenness of the virus outbreak, human society's order instantly plunges into chaos and gradually collapses.

Everything happened too quickly, with almost no warning. The virus seems intelligent, launching a sudden attack on humanity. Moreover, this is just the beginning. Those who have natural antibodies won't immediately turn into zombies. However, they can still be infected by zombie bites or scratches, leading to an exponential increase in the number of zombies within a short period.

Although David knows that all of this is about to happen, he has no intention of warning anyone. Having wandered through the apocalypse for years, he has become too disillusioned with human nature. Even if he reveals everything he knows, no one would believe him, and it would only bring unnecessary trouble.

Despite being a survivor, David doesn't see himself as a "savior" or anything like that. He is well aware that this unexplained sense of responsibility would only harm him.

Tomorrow is Doomsday, yet David goes about his morning routine as if it were any other day. He fries two eggs, a large piece of meat, sprinkles some salt and pepper on it, and takes out a carton of milk from the storage space. A hearty breakfast is served.

Enjoying the delicious meal, David feels no nervousness or unease about the impending crisis. He focuses on savoring his food, his eyes showing no signs of worry.

As someone who has "died once," David can now remain calm even when faced with imminent disaster. During this time, he has been improving his stockpile list every day. After purchasing a large amount of food, he has been gradually acquiring additional supplies like fuel, generators, medicine, and clothing.

After finishing breakfast, David checks his phone but doesn't receive the expected message in his inbox. "Couldn't find them? What a shame." Some time ago, David asked a few private investigators to help him find someone. The phrase "private investigator" sounds fancy, but most of their work involves investigating extramarital affairs or capturing evidence of infidelity through photographs. Therefore, their fees are not exorbitant, and several thousand dollars are enough to hire one.

The private investigators David hired operate in the gray areas of the law. To fulfill their clients' requests, they occasionally employ questionable methods, making their fees higher. In order to successfully find that person, David hired several private investigators. However, until now, none of them have provided any feedback on their progress. "It's no surprise. With just a name and vague physical characteristics, trying to find someone in the vast SJ city is like searching for a needle in a haystack."

At first, David didn't have high hopes; he was just giving it a try. The person he is looking for is named Adolf, an enemy from David's previous life.

In his previous life, David, with his decent strength and influence among ordinary people, formed a small team. Under David's leadership, the team worked together, each with their own responsibilities, and lived a relatively good life in SJ City. However, one day, David's people clashed with Adolf, who happened to pass by their camp.

The reason was that Adolf took a liking to a girl in David's team and wanted to take her away. The girl, of course, refused to go, but Adolf, in a fit of anger, chose to attack directly. Although Adolf was an ordinary person, he had a terrifying mutated dog with him, possessing fire-based abilities and formidable strength. The members of David's team were all ordinary people, so the outcome was predictable when faced with such a mutated dog.

The team that David had painstakingly built was completely wiped out. When David and Arnold returned to the camp after gathering supplies outside, they discovered that everything had turned to ashes. It was from the survivors near the camp that David learned the full story. This incident greatly affected David.

Since then, he began to understand that ordinary people were like insignificant grass in this apocalyptic world. A group of people being wiped out by a dog, without any ability to resist, had a touch of irony. This was the enormous gap between ordinary people, mutated beasts, and ability users, like an insurmountable chasm.

In fact, the top-level ferocious beasts among the mutated creatures were not inferior to powerful ability users among humans. As for ordinary people like David, they had no qualifications to be compared to them. Later, David learned that Adolf's nickname was the "Dog King."

Adolf himself was a completely powerless ordinary person, but that mutated dog was fiercely loyal to him. So Adolf relied on the dog to establish his own power in SJ City.

After the apocalypse, some organizations studying abilities and mutated creatures ranked individuals based on their abilities. Surprisingly, this ordinary person Adolf, relying on the dog, surpassed many others and ranked first on SJ City's list of powerful ability users. In a sense, it could be said that "a dog is better than a human."

After the members of David's team were killed, David secretly infiltrated Adolf's base once and saw Adolf in person, noting down his appearance. But David never had the opportunity for revenge afterward. After being reborn, David certainly had no intention of letting Adolf off the hook. However, unfortunately, he only knew Adolf's name and appearance and that he was from SJ City; he had no other information.

Today is the last day before the arrival of Doomsday, which makes David feel a little regretful. However, he is not particularly concerned because, based on the trajectory of his previous life, he would eventually meet Adolf again. He will settle this grudge sooner or later. After breakfast, David begins to exercise.

In the apocalypse, having a strong physique is more important than anything else. In his previous life, David maintained a regular exercise routine, which was why he was stronger than most ordinary people. Even after taking genetic potions, David did not abandon this habit. While David is exercising, his phone suddenly rings.

David picks up the phone and sees that it's a call from the private investigator. His heart stirs, and he answers the call. "Mr. David, I've found the person you're looking for. Are you available now?" David's mouth slightly curls up upon hearing this. "I'll be right there."
