Global Survival: Dominating the Apocalypse with my skill

Chapter 6: Filling up the space

Scott took out his bank card and activated his skill. In the next instant, five bank cards appeared in his storage.

However, one of them looked different. Among the copies was a completely black bank card.

Scott took it out and examined it. It looked different from the original, and he immediately suspected that his skill had triggered another upgrade.

He pointed his wristband towards it, and a description appeared on the screen.

[Game World Bank Card: Can be used in any game world with a spending limit of $1,000,000.]

Scott's eyes widened. What kind of heaven-defying skill was this? A bank card that could be used in any game world!

If spending money became compulsory in another survival world, he wouldn't have to worry about where to get it. He could simply use this card.

Scott stared at the black card in his hand, a wide grin slowly spreading across his face. His skill just kept surprising him.

The next morning, Scott woke up early and the first thing he did was check the internet for news about the zombie virus. He searched for reports of strange incidents, mysterious illnesses, unusual deaths, and other suspicious occurrences.

However, he found nothing. There wasn't even a rumour about an impending disaster.

This made him more cautious. The apocalypse was expected to begin in two days, yet the world remained completely normal.

After getting dressed, he left the hotel and drove his van to the various restaurants and food establishments where he had placed his orders. He spent most of the day collecting his purchases.

From one restaurant to another, he packed the freshly prepared meals into his storage in batches. He did the same with the drinks, making sure everything was properly labelled and organised.

During the day, he collected food from restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and food courts. In the evening, he visited the night market and collected the barbecue, grilled meat, fried snacks, and other street foods he had ordered.

By the time he finished, his storage was filled with an enormous variety of cooked meals, snacks, desserts, and drinks. Looking at the mountain of food preserved inside his space, Scott felt an overwhelming sense of relief.

He had accomplished so much in just two days. With enough cooked food to sustain him for years, it was time to begin the next phase of his preparations.

At midnight, Scott changed into the disguise he had prepared earlier. He wore dark clothing, gloves, a cap, and a face covering. Even if a security camera caught him, identifying him would be difficult.

He checked his map one last time before setting out. His first destination was a major supermarket.

He parked some distance away, stored his van, and carefully observed the surroundings. There were security cameras near the entrances and guards patrolling the premises.

Scott studied their movements, identified the cameras' blind spots, and waited for an opportunity. Once the entrance was clear, he approached the locked door.

He placed his hand against it and mentally activated the Universal Key.

'Open sesame.'

Click!

The lock opened immediately. Scott slipped inside and began his work.

He didn't limit himself to food. He emptied every section of the supermarket, collecting groceries, bottled drinks, toiletries, cleaning products, kitchen utensils, clothes, shoes, household appliances, jewellery, and countless other daily necessities.

If it was something people might need, he took it. He also entered the warehouse and collected all the available stock. He spent less than an hour there before moving to the next location.

The same process continued at three other major supermarkets. He also raided five cold-storage supermarkets, collecting fresh meat, poultry, seafood, fish, dairy products, frozen vegetables, ice cream, and other refrigerated goods.

Next were five supermarkets specialising in semi-finished and ready-to-heat foods. He collected frozen pizzas, dumplings, spring rolls, sausages, burger patties, prepared meals, and everything else on their shelves and in their warehouses.

Scott never spent more than an hour at any location. Some places took him barely thirty minutes. His storage made the entire process incredibly convenient.

Afterwards, he visited three car dealerships and collected every vehicle available, including sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, sports cars, luxury cars, minivans, cargo vans, and recreational vehicles. He didn't bother choosing specific models. He simply took everything.

His next destinations were hardware stores. He collected tools, building materials, generators, solar panels, batteries, electrical equipment, pipes, nails, screws, and other useful supplies. He also found machetes, axes, hammers, protective gear, and even nail guns.

He wasn't only preparing to fight zombies. Other players could become threats too, and he had no intention of being caught unprepared.

He then raided several camping stores, taking tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, portable stoves, water filters, lanterns, survival kits, ropes, outdoor clothing, mountain bikes, and practically every other piece of camping equipment available.

Electronics stores weren't spared either. He collected phones, laptops, tablets, radios, communication devices, cameras, power banks, chargers, televisions, and other electronic equipment.

He even visited a water production and storage facility. The place contained enormous tanks filled with water, along with countless containers of purified drinking water. Scott stored everything he could, including the water tanks themselves.

He also visited farms and agricultural supply facilities. He collected fruits, vegetables, seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, irrigation equipment, farming tools, and machinery. He wasn't sure how useful everything would be, but there was no reason to leave valuable supplies behind.

He moved quickly from one location to another, using blind spots to avoid security cameras and the Universal Key to open locked entrances and storage rooms.

The military base was one location he had deliberately marked but decided not to approach. Its security would be far tighter than that of ordinary commercial buildings. Breaking in before the apocalypse would be unnecessarily risky. He would wait until the situation changed.

By the time the sky began to brighten, Scott had raided an astonishing number of locations. He finally stopped, drove to a secluded spot, and took out an RV from his space to rest.

He hadn't eaten anything all day, so he took out a hot cheeseburger, loaded fries, and chilled cola from his space.

Looking at the time, he realised that he had spent the entire night gathering supplies. His storage was now packed with food, water, vehicles, tools, electronics, clothing, and countless other necessities.

This was the third day, and the apocalypse was supposed to begin today. He checked the internet again for news but was still unable to find anything unusual.

Refusing to give up, he continued searching. Eventually, he found the first news reports about the impending apocalypse.
