Natural Disaster Apocalypse: The Reborn Female Lead Has a Pocket Dimension

Chapter 1: Reborn One Week Before the Apocalypse

“Dad, don’t…”

“Auntie, please let me go, I really don’t want to die.”

Looking at Li Peng and Xu Yongmei with a face full of terror, Li Su wretchedly dragged her broken body and moved backward.

The wounds that had finally healed split open once again, so much so that the ground beneath her feet was stained with crimson blood.

Seeing a flash of killing intent in Xu Yongmei’s eyes, Li Su turned her gaze to Li Hui, who was standing not far away.

“Li Hui, they’ve gone mad. Stop them quickly.”

However, to Li Su’s surprise, Li Hui, who had always doted on and loved her, actually said something unbelievable.

“Li Su, if we don’t do this, Xiao Min won’t survive. Since your face is disfigured, your leg is crippled, and you’ve lost an arm anyway, why not… why not leave the hope of survival to Xiao Min?”

Li Su looked at Li Peng again, pleading through tears, “Dad, I’m your biological daughter! How can you kill me for Xu Xiaomin? Can you really bring yourself to do it?”

Questioned, Li Peng frowned, clearly hesitating, but Xu Yongmei’s words instantly made him reach a decision.

“Brother Peng, for the past twenty years, you couldn’t give Xiao Min a status, and you already owe her enough. Now that Xiao Min is at death’s door, do you have the heart to watch her die?”

Status?

What does that word mean?

Thinking of how Li Peng cared deeply for his stepdaughter, Xu Xiaomin, doting on her no less than he did on her, Li Su seemed to understand something.

Li Hui also spoke up, “Uncle, Li Su is so badly injured that she’ll only be a useless burden in the future. Instead of letting her live like this, it’s better to give Xiao Min a chance to live.”

A burden? Her fiancé called her a burden?

Having lost too much blood, Li Su’s eyelids grew heavier, but she still forced a cold sneer.

“For the sake of you all, I risked my life many times and suffered countless injuries. I didn’t expect that every single one of you would want to take my crystal core and my life. You’re truly ruthless!”

And Xu Yongmei, that shameless bitch, actually had the audacity to speak so righteously.

“Li Su, Xiao Min is your sister. To avoid hurting you, I’ve kept her identity a secret all these years and cared for you meticulously. I’ve treated you well enough.”

“If you don’t save her now, she’ll die in an instant. You’re already a cripple, so why are you still so selfish and not thinking about the bigger picture?”

After saying that, she shouted angrily at Li Peng, “Brother Peng, what are you still standing there for? If we delay any longer, our Xiao Min’s life will be in danger.”

In the next moment, the sharp Dagger in Li Peng’s hand stabbed into Li Su’s head with speed, ruthlessness, and precision. Instantly, intense pain ruthlessly swept through her whole body… “Su Su, how are you feeling now? Does your head still hurt?”

As soon as she opened her eyes, Li Su met the concerned face of Li Peng—the “good father” who had personally split her head open to take her crystal core.

Where am I? Am I not dead? Why is Li Peng so concerned about me?

After looking around her, the extremely nervous Li Su immediately noticed something was wrong.

A clean and tidy hospital room, snow-white blankets, the faint smell of disinfectant, and a Doctor in a white coat… All of this seemed so eerie, yet so familiar.

“Miss, you are quite ill. Your gastrointestinal tract is a bit disordered, and you already have symptoms of dehydration. Besides needing to watch your diet, you need to rest well for the next two days.”

Li Su seemed to have heard these words from the Doctor before. No, she really had heard them.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Li Peng spoke again.

“Su Su, your Auntie Xu went home to stew chicken soup for you; she won’t be here just yet. Also, I had Xiao Min ask for leave for you, so don’t go to work for these three days.”

Hearing this, Li Su nodded. “Mm, I understand. Dad, I’m tired and want to sleep for a while.”

After speaking, she silently lowered her eyelids and began to think quietly.

High fever, chicken soup, asking for leave?

She didn’t expect that after dying in the Apocalypse, she would actually be reborn one week before its outbreak.

Very well. Since the heavens have given her another life, she will surely kill her enemies with her own hands and live a happy life.

She wouldn’t let off a single one of those who had deceived and harmed her. She would personally send them to hell and let them taste the flavor of death.

She didn’t know how much time had passed when Xu Yongmei arrived, carrying fragrant, lovingly made chicken soup.

Coming along with her were Li Hui, holding a bouquet of flowers, and a reluctant Xu Xiaomin.

“Su Su, you must be hungry. I specially brewed some chicken soup for you. Drink some while it’s hot.”

Xu Yongmei briskly poured out a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Li Su. Seeing that Li Su’s hair was a bit messy, she even lovingly smoothed it out.

This tone, this gaze, this behavior—she wasn’t her biological mother, yet she was more like one than a real mother. Who wouldn’t be moved?

In that lifetime, it was precisely because Li Su was deceived by Xu Yongmei’s gentleness and consideration that she treated her as her own mother.

It wasn't until the moment death was imminent that Li Su found out Xu Yongmei, as her mother’s best friend, had long ago successfully stolen her mother's husband and even given birth to a half-sister for her.

Heh, how ironic!

To think Li Su’s mother had always treated Xu Yongmei like her own sister, letting the homeless woman move into their home, never imagining she was inviting a wolf into the house.

Li Su drank the chicken soup in silence, and many overlooked small details instantly connected in her mind.

When Li Su’s mother was two months pregnant, knowing that the unemployed Xu Yongmei had quarreled with her family, she warmly invited her over to stay for a while.

And Li Su was only three months older than Xu Xiaomin, which meant that as soon as Xu Yongmei arrived, she quickly hooked up with Li Peng and got pregnant with his child.

In Li Su’s memory, Xu Yongmei and Xu Xiaomin would come to the house to play every few days, and Li Su had treated Xu Yongmei like her own aunt.

Just a few months ago, Li Su’s mother was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. In just over ten days, she reluctantly passed away.

Li Su was heartbroken and fell seriously ill. Xu Yongmei and Xu Xiaomin even moved in with their luggage, under the guise of taking care of Li Su.

Soon after, Li Peng informed Li Su that he wanted to be with Xu Yongmei and become a real family.

At that time, Xu Yongmei took care of and comforted Li Su just like a biological mother, filling the void in Li Su’s heart. So, although she felt somewhat uncomfortable, Li Su ultimately didn’t oppose the two being together.

It had to be said that Xu Yongmei was a clever woman. Not only did she not move into Li Su’s mother’s room, she also didn’t take down the photo of Li Su’s family of three; instead, she treated Li Su like her own daughter.

Li Peng also didn’t neglect Li Su in the slightest just because he was openly with Xu Yongmei; he still doted on her as the apple of his eye.

Thus, after only a few days of feeling awkward, Li Su completely accepted Xu Yongmei as her so-called stepmother.

“Su Su, your complexion doesn’t look very good. Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Xiao Min asked for leave for you. Your task now is to recover well, you know?”

Li Hui placed the bouquet on the bedside table and naturally sat down next to Li Su, his eyes filled with worry and heartache.

Subconsciously, Li Su looked at Xu Xiaomin standing nearby again. Sure enough, besides impatience, Xu Xiaomin’s face showed even more resentment.

It must be said, like mother, like daughter. Xu Yongmei stole her father, and Xu Xiaomin, the daughter, followed suit, actually eyeing her boyfriend.

Of course, it takes two to tango; flies don’t swarm around eggs without cracks. This pair of despicable mother and daughter were certainly disgusting, but the two scumbags, Li Peng and Li Hui, were no more innocent.

Very well. Since the four of you are heartless and inhumane, when the time comes, I’ll make sure you all kick the bucket together.

After staying in the ward for a while, several people left one after another. In the large hospital room, only Li Su remained.

After the Nurse came over to remove the needle and take away the IV bag, Li Su glanced at the camera in the corner, then slowly got out of bed and calmly walked toward the bathroom…
