Chapter 1 Tragic: I am the last one to be reborn!
"Hey, I want to report someone!"
Su Chen held the phone, his voice incredibly clear and unusually calm.
There seemed to be a momentary pause in the sound of typing on the other end of the phone.
Time seemed to stretch out at that moment.
Just a few minutes ago.
Headache, a tearing, excruciating pain.
Su Chen suddenly looked up from the table. In front of him was the familiar university study room, with the sunlight shining brightly through the window.
The advanced mathematics textbook on the table was still turned to the page he had seen yesterday.
Shouldn't he have been disemboweled by a Tier 3 Ripper in the fifth year of the apocalypse?
The cold, sharp claws and the excruciating pain still linger in my nerve endings.
"I... I've been reborn?"
Su Chen's heart pounded wildly, and an indescribable joy instantly overwhelmed his reason.
He is back!
I've traveled back to a month before the apocalypse!
With his five years of experience struggling to survive, he's sure he can survive again in this life, maybe even...
[Hahaha, look! Another idiot who just came back, his expression is exactly the same as mine back then.]
A line of semi-transparent, gold text, resembling game bullet comments, suddenly appeared in front of Su Chen's eyes.
Su Chen's smile froze on his face.
What is that?
Hallucination?
[Tsk tsk, probably thinking about how to stock up on instant noodles and bottled water again, how pathetic!]
Stop buying lottery tickets! The spiritual energy is reviving; who still needs paper money? Gold is the real hard currency!
Brothers, I've emptied every weapon shop in the city. What about you guys?
[The person upstairs is too slow. I hacked into the military system and got the location of a secret base!]
I just eloped with the future sword immortal's childhood sweetheart. Once she awakens, I'll be the emperor's consort!
[This protagonist is so weak, we've been reborn for half a year and he's only just arrived...]
The barrage of comments flooded the screen like a waterfall, so dense that it almost completely obscured Su Chen's vision.
Each one was like the heaviest iron hammer, slamming hard into Su Chen's heart.
He froze on the spot!
The look of ecstasy on his face vanished abruptly, replaced by shock in his eyes.
What's going on?
What's going on?
A nationwide rebirth?
Am I the only one in the whole world who was reborn?
These people have been cheating for half a year already, how is he, a newbie who just came back, supposed to play?
What a load of rubbish!
Stockpiling supplies?
They've already emptied the warehouse.
Seize the opportunity?
He even stole the wife of a future powerhouse!
Go it alone and build your own power in the apocalypse?
In Su Chen's mind, the faces behind these comments instantly flashed before his eyes: smug, arrogant, and self-righteous chosen ones.
He could almost see the moment when the end of the world would come.
Thousands upon thousands of "overpowered protagonists" sprang up from every corner of the world, each believing themselves to be the only protagonist.
And he himself, an ordinary, unremarkable reborn person,
Being caught in the middle of them, I probably wouldn't even qualify to be cannon fodder.
In the face of such a collective, the individual is utterly meaningless!
Cold sweat trickled down Su Chen's forehead and down his cheeks.
But just a few seconds later, the panic and blankness in his eyes vanished quickly, replaced by an almost terrifying coldness and clarity.
Don't panic!
Panic and the Virgin Mary are the most deadly poisons in the end times.
He silently watched the carnival feast that belonged only to the "reborn ones" before him, and suddenly a strange smile appeared on his lips.
You guys are reborn, you're pretty awesome, right?
You have the advantage of being the first to know, isn't that amazing?
You're stockpiling weapons and seizing resources, preparing to dominate the apocalypse, right?
but……
It seems you've forgotten something.
We still live in a society governed by the rule of law!
Su Chen's gaze suddenly turned sharp as a knife.
Unlike other reborn individuals, he didn't rush out to buy instant noodles, hoard resources, or grab gold...
Instead, he quickly went to the restroom and took out his somewhat old smartphone.
His finger swiped across the contacts list, finally stopping at a number he had never dialed, yet which was already etched into the DNA of every Chinese citizen.
The dim light from the screen illuminated his cold and crazed profile.
Since you're not giving me a way out, then nobody's going to have an easy time.
Flipping the table, anyone can do that.
He took a deep breath and pressed the dial button.
"Beep...beep..."
The call was connected.
Thus, the scene at the beginning came about.
"Hey, I want to report this."
……
A serious and steady male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"This is the National Security Center. Please explain your situation."
Su Chen's tone was completely calm, as if he were stating a trivial matter.
"I want to report that a large number of suspicious individuals are using various illegal means across the country to hoard weapons and strategic materials, and are even attempting to steal state secrets."
"They are organized and premeditated, attempting to overthrow the existing order in a month."
The voice on the other end fell silent.
A full five seconds.
It seems to be because of a prank call, or perhaps it's the delusion of a mentally ill person.
"Sir, please..."
"10 PM tonight, Donghai City Port, Warehouse No. 7."
Su Chen interrupted the other party's questioning directly, speaking very quickly but with extremely clear enunciation.
"There was a large-scale illegal arms deal."
Both parties in the transaction are "reborn".
"This is their largest arms reserve before the apocalypse, enough to arm a regiment."
After speaking, Su Chen paused deliberately. He was gambling that he could arouse the other party's deepest vigilance.
Sure enough, the breathing on the other end of the phone changed instantly.
Although the other party tried their best to remain calm, Su Chen still caught a hint of seriousness.
"We will verify the information you provided."
The other person's voice remained calm, but it had taken on a serious, businesslike tone.
Please leave your name and contact information.
"I'm just a patriotic citizen." Su Chen smiled and hung up the phone.
He pulled out the SIM card, broke it in half, and casually threw it into the trash can.
After doing all this, wash your hands and leave.
Just then, a student emerged from around the corner, pulling up his pants and smoking, his eyes filled with disdain.
"What kind of lunatic is this? Apocalypse? Reborn? Are you out of your mind?!"
-
Back in the study room, Su Chen leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
The world is peaceful now.
No, it is the world that will be completely cleansed by the thunder he himself detonated.
He watched with great interest as the barrage of comments kept refreshing.
[Location: Donghai City, brothers. Tonight at 10 PM, at warehouse number 7 in the port, I've got a big batch of stuff. Anyone got the guts? Come on over!]
[Hahaha, the arms dealer is awesome! Once we get the goods, when the apocalypse comes, we'll just take over the mountains and become kings!]
The East China Sea team has set off; they're going to make a fortune tonight!
Su Chen's smile grew even brighter as he watched the celebratory comments on the screen.
What a lovely bunch of "leeks" (a metaphor for being exploited)!
He stood up, closed his textbook, stuffed it into his bag, and slowly walked out.
Reporting is only the first step.
But the real show is just beginning.
He wanted to make these self-righteous "chosen ones" understand a principle clearly.
Before the absolute state apparatus, all of you prophets are nothing but a joke!
