Transmigrating Into an Ice‑Bound Apocalypse: I Seized the Protagonist’s Spatial Ability
Chen Xingyao unexpectedly transmigrates into a refreshing novel set in a frozen end‑of‑the‑world era. Well‑acquainted with the original plot, he despises the actions of the rebirth protagonist Zhang Bo, who stockpiles massive supplies, stirs conflict among survivors, and indulges himself with numerous women. Chen Xingyao refuses to cling to Zhang Bo for survival. Leveraging foreknowledge of the storyline and strong organizational skills, Chen Xingyao persuades residents of Sunshine Community to band together to survive. They build greenhouses in basements to grow crops, adopting mutual aid instead of the law of the jungle to secure basic livelihood amid the bitter cold. He arranges Song Xiaoqian to get close to Zhang Bo under false pretenses. Using the fortress password obtained in advance from renovation workers, he takes over Zhang Bo’s safe house without bloodshed and forces him to hand over large quantities of supplies. Instead of resorting to lynching, Chen Xingyao detains offenders in a confinement room, establishing rules and moral boundaries for the apocalypse. As the plot unfolds, a mutated black cat appears in the community ahead of schedule. Zhang Bo pretends to reform to win over people, then hunts the cat and draws disaster, attempting to seize power amid chaos. Chen Xingyao outwits him, eliminates opportunists within the group, and lures the black cat into a steel fortress trap. Soon, the abnormal purple rain falls. Chen Xingyao lets Song Xiaoqian get exposed to the rain, awakening her rare catalysis superpower, which enables safe superpower awakening and prevents mutation for others. He throws Zhang Bo into the purple rain to trigger his power evolution, then uses Song Xiaoqian’s gift to transfer Zhang Bo’s spatial ability to himself, claiming the original protagonist’s golden finger and all his supplies.
