Her room was already overflowing with items.

She had earlier informed the front desk and arranged for her belongings to be sent up. The staff had ced everything inside her room.
Now, the room waspletely packed. The table, floor, and the bed werepletely covered.
Among the items was arge amount of fresh hot fried chicken.
With a wave of her hand, Theresa put everything away into her domain.
She decided to spend the night there and leave the next morning. After all, she did not want to waste the money she had already spent.
Before going to bed, she trained for three hours. She pushed herself to the brink, breaking past her physical limits. Only then did she take a shower and check the surveince systems for her bunker and warehouse.
Everything appeared secure. Through video call, she briefly spoke with Summer, telling it to keep watch. She assured it she would return early the next morning.
Summer responded in a way that was almost human, then obediently stayed in its kennel in the warehouse to guard it.
Theresa soundly slept in the hotel until 6 a.m.
She woke up to the sound of police and ambnce sirens.
Although the hotel was in the city center and had excellent soundproofing, she was very sensitive to noise. The faintest sound would wake her.
The moment she heard the sirens, she rushed to the window. She pulled back the curtains and looked down to see numerous police cars and ambnces on the street below.
Not far from the hotel was a busy area filled with bars and entertainment venues. The emergency vehicles were heading there.
She watched as an ambnce stopped in front of the bar she had noticed the day before. Several people covered in blood were carried out.
An ominous thought crossed her mind.
Just then, she heard hurried footsteps and frantic knocking at her door.
Theresa grabbed an iron shovel and cautiously approached the door. She first checked through the peephole.
It was a hotel staff member,

The woman looked nervous but showed no signs of injury or blood. Her face appeared calm and normal.
“What is it?” Theresa asked.
“Miss, I am from housekeeping. Several guests have reported fainting in their rooms and are asking for help. Are you alright?”
Theresa firmly replied, “I am fine.”
*Please remain in your room for now. The hotel will extend your stay at no cost. Thank you for understanding.”
The staff member moved on to the next room.
Theresa felt a wave of unease.
The apocalypse might have arrived early.
She had to leave right away.
Theresa grabbed her car keys and prepared to go. Before leaving, she made sure to take all theplimentary water, drinks, and toiletries from the room.
As she opened the door, she saw the staff member at the far end of the hallway. The woman was persistently knocking on another door.
After several attempts, the staff member used a key card to enter the room.
Theresa watched as the woman stepped inside.
Shortly after, she heard a voice cry out in worry.
“Sir! Sir, are you alright? Guest in room 809 has fainted. Someone, send help!”
The staff member called for assistance using her earpiece.
Theresa quickly walked to the elevator.
She entered an empty elevator heading down. As her doors closed, the doors to the nearby elevator opened.
A group of staff stepped out of it and hurried toward the far end of the hallway.
As the doors in front of Theresa closed, a piercing scream echoed down the hallway.
“Ahhh!”
The sound was chilling and unmistakable.
The zombie virus had broken out early.
Theresa swiftly pressed the button for the fifth floor. She avoided going to the reception area on the first floor.

This hotel was connected to a mall. The basement through to the fifth floor was entirely a shopping space.
It was the same mall she had visited the day before.
It was 6 a.m., and the mall was still closed.
The earliest employees would not arrive until 8 a.m.
For now, the mall waspletely empty.
In a zombie apocalypse, the greatest danger was crowds.
Theresa decisively strode out onto the fifth floor. As she had expected, the entire floor was dark.
There were no lights on.
As she stepped into the lobby, she could clearly hear screaming from outside. She nced out the window and saw chaos erupting in the streets.
A blood–covered man stumbled out of a nearby bar. He lunged at a woman jogging past him.
After tackling her, he went straight for her abdomen. After bringing her to the ground, he bit her in the stomach.
The woman screamed in pain, but she could not stop him from tearing into her organs.
The man’s face became a bloody mess as he devoured her heart and lungs like a savage animal.
“Aah!”
At 7 a.m., the city streets were unusually quiet. Only police cars and ambnces moved through the emptiness.
One police car stopped the moment its officers noticed the disturbance. They rushed out to restrain the man causing the chaos.
The woman they rescuedy motionless in a pool of blood. While no one was watching, her arms and legs began to twitch. The spasms grew stronger and more frantic, then suddenly stopped.
“Miss! Miss, can you hear me?”
Roar.
Her eyes snapped open, cloudy and devoid of life. Without hesitation, she lunged at the person trying to help her, viciously biting down.
The scene turned into pure chaos.
Theresa stood by the fifth–floor window, watching everything unfold.
This was it–the apocalypse. The apocalypse she knew all too well.
It hade earlier than she expected. In fact, an entire day ahead of schedule.

Wee to the apocalypse.
Theresa spun around and bolted further into the fifth floor.
She had to use the esctors to reach the B2 parking lot. Elevators were not an option.

As she raced through the empty mall, the gleaming disys around her caught her eye–supplies.
How could she leave such a treasure trove behind?
If she had to leave, she would not go without taking everything she could carry.
At that moment, a voice echoed in her mind.
‘Ding! Ultimate Leader System activated. You have two hours. For every 10,000 worth of supplies collected, you will receive 100 cubic feet of domain space!‘
Theresa tightened her grip on her baseball bat.
“Unbelievable!”
It was as if fate had handed her the perfect opportunity.
With a loud crash, a ss disy shattered right in front of her.
Theresa rushed inside, stretching out her arms. Everything she touched vanished into thin air.
It all went straight into her domain.
She no longer cared about security cameras or who might be watching.
None of it mattered now.
This was the apocalypse. Who would bother reviewing surveince footage at a time like this?
<i>‘</i><i>Ding</i><i>! </i>279 pieces of trendy women’s apparel worth 650,000 detected. You’ve been awarded 6,500 cubic feet.
<i>‘</i><i>Ding</i><i>! </i>144 pieces of trendy men’s apparel worth 580,000 detected. You’ve been awarded 5,800 cubic feet.‘
<i>‘</i><i>Ding</i><i>! </i>489 luxury wedding dresses worth 1.89 million detected. You’ve been awarded 18,900 cubic feet.
Theresa grabbed everything she could find, including but not limited to men’s clothing, women’s clothing, children’s–wear, shoes, socks, bags, wedding dresses and formal gowns.
This haul was far more rewarding than the first time she had stocked up her domain.
Even though she had emptied her house before, it had only been a small collection. Now, the rewards were astronomical.
Every store she looted was worth hundreds of thousands or even millions.
She swept through them one by one.
