Apocalypse Descends: I Win Effortlessly by Turning Trash into Treasure

Day ten of the game.

That’s right. It was still raining today.

And it wasn’t just rain. Outside, a fierce wind was raging.

This was the first time Perry Yates had ever experienced a typhoon.

After seeing a tree ripped out by its roots with her own eyes, Perry Yates couldn’t help but gasp.

Soon, the typhoon destroyed the city’s power grid, plunging all of Solara into a blackout.

The typhoon had arrived with sudden, brutal force. Perry even felt the building she was in shaking continuously.

Inside the Safe House, Perry Yates took out the solar power bank she had prepared long ago.

While the typhoon raged outside, the room was an oasis of peace and quiet.

In front of Perry was a half-finished milk tea, a cake with one bite taken out of it, and a tablet on the table playing an anime.

As for Perry herself, she was lounging on the sofa, holding a packaged tomahawk steak.

However, she hadn’t taken out the tomahawk steak to eat it, but to use her Ascension ability on it.

After storing the tomahawk steak in her Space Backpack, Perry picked up her milk tea from the table and took a sip.

Then she got up and walked over to the window.

Today was already the tenth day of the game. Following the game’s pattern, the difficulty would, in all likelihood, increase again tomorrow.

Perry took out her phone and browsed the online comments.

Several consecutive days of heavy rain had already caused many families to run out of food. It was only a matter of time before their water ran out, too.

As a result, the internet was flooded with posts begging for help.

Some were begging for food, others for medicine for sick children or elderly family members. But the chances of any of them receiving help were minuscule.

Everyone was struggling to take care of themselves; who had the spare energy to worry about others?

The hospitals were overflowing with people, and the doctors and nurses were completely overwhelmed. Consequently, patients with minor illnesses, ailments, or light injuries were advised to treat themselves at home.

For one, medical resources were incredibly scarce. Even if you went to the hospital, there was no guarantee anyone would be available to see you. They would certainly prioritize patients in more critical condition.

Besides, given the situation outside, they advised against going out unless it was absolutely necessary. If you encountered some danger and your condition worsened, it would be a disastrous trade-off.

Reading the information online, Perry got a general idea of the situation outside.

’I wonder how the other players are doing.’

As she thought this, a golden light flashed in her hand, and a card materialized.

This was a card she had created through fusion and Ascension after learning about this round of the game. It was also the only five-star card she had managed to create so far, as well as her trump card for this game—Noah’s Ark.

If the downpour ended up flooding the entire city, she would use this card. But not now.

With the current water level, it wouldn’t even float.

Meanwhile, the other players Perry had been thinking about were not having a good time.

The downpour and the typhoon had them trapped in their rented apartments.

For players who were already short on funds, the situation was even worse.

Annie Sawyer was in her rented apartment.

Knowing in advance that this disaster would involve torrential rain and flooding, she had intentionally rented an apartment on a higher floor. Since it was in an older complex, the price wasn’t too high.

When she learned the typhoon was about to hit, she bought yellow tape for her own safety and applied it in a star pattern across every window in her apartment. This was to prevent glass shards from flying everywhere and injuring her if the windows broke.

Watching the scene outside, Annie Sawyer prayed inwardly for the disaster to pass quickly.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on her front door.

’Someone’s knocking at a time like this?’

Annie Sawyer stared warily at the closed door and called out, "Can I help you?"

Her words fell, but the knocking outside didn’t stop. A middle-aged man’s voice came from the other side. "I’m with property management. We’re doing a headcount of the residents in each unit."

Hearing this, Annie hesitated for a moment before slowly walking toward the door.

When the door opened, the middle-aged man outside was still frozen in a knocking motion. He was stunned to see that the person who opened the door was a handsome young man.

Although the young man before him was quite good-looking, the prominent Adam’s apple proved he definitely wasn’t a girl.

"Why didn’t you guys at property management give any advance notice about this headcount?"

The young man’s voice snapped the middle-aged man back to his senses. "We already sent a notification in the homeowners’ group chat," he said.

Hearing about the group chat, the young man feigned realization and said, "Ah, we just moved in, so we haven’t joined the group chat yet."

After that brief explanation, the middle-aged man asked, "So, how many people are living in this unit?"

"Two of us. I live here with my younger sister," the young man replied politely.

"Your sister?" A "friendly" smile spread across the man’s face, but his teeth were yellowed, likely from smoking. Instead of appearing friendly, he looked somewhat terrifying.

"Can you have her come out? I don’t mean anything by it, it’s just that as property management, we need to confirm the information for every resident."

"I’m afraid that’s not convenient. She just went to the bathroom and probably won’t be out for a while."

The man’s gaze shifted toward the bathroom, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

But while the young man’s voice was gentle, his attitude was firm. The middle-aged man could only turn and leave for the next unit.

After closing the door, the "young man" finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second, the young man’s figure rapidly shrank. In just a few seconds, he had reverted to Annie Sawyer’s form.

’That man clearly had bad intentions. Sometimes, human malice is far more terrifying than any natural disaster.’

’Looks like I can’t stay here anymore.’

Annie Sawyer made up her mind. As soon as the rain and typhoon subsided, she would leave this place.

On the eleventh day of the game, the torrential rain continued unabated, and the water level in the city soared.

All the first floors were completely submerged.

To avoid being soaked, people could only move to higher floors.

At first, since they were all neighbors, helping each other out was easy.

People on the second floor would even proactively welcome those from the first floor into their homes.

But as the second floors also became submerged, these people had to gather their belongings once more and move to the third floor.

As the number of relocations increased, so did the number of displaced people.

Gradually, residents on the upper floors became unwilling to open their doors. At the same time, people on the lower and middle floors began to realize that their own homes might not be safe either.

They figured it was better to start packing now than to scramble to move later.
