Chapter 11
The Apocalypse Is Ahead Of Schedule
Although she did not want to believe it, it was not impossible when she thought about it calmly. She had been resurrected and brought back in time after dying a tragic death, so there was nothing unusual about the apocalypse arriving early.
However, the apocalypse had come so many days in advance, and the temperature had risen sharply. Most people were probably not ready, and had not had the opportunity to store supplies in advance.
Du Yue’s prediction was right. Many people who went out fainted by the side of the road because of the scorching heat. Some lucky people were found and sent to the hospital. Some unlucky people ended their lives on the side of the road without any warning.
This was especially so for a retired old man. He usually liked to take the earliest bus out, stroll around the park, and wait until lunch time before heading over to the market to buy groceries and going home.
The sudden high temperature was something that even young people with good physical fitness could not withstand, let alone older people.
For the entire day, Du Yue’s ears were filled with the constant wails of passing ambulances through her residential area, which was located in the center of the city.
Wherever one looked on social media, there were complaints and panicked posts about the insanely hot weather.
After reading a few posts, Du Yue turned off her phone. This was just the beginning of the nightmare. As the days went by, the number of people who died from the high temperatures would increase exponentially.
It was not until the moon hung high in the sky that the temperature dropped a little. After being cooped up at home for the whole day, everyone left their homes after the sun had completely set.
Du Yue changed into a fresh set of clothes and went out as well.
As soon as she stepped out of the unit, a wave of heat assaulted her.
Du Yue took out her phone to check the current temperature. Although it was already night, the temperature was still as high as 32 or 33 degrees.
Du Yue’s clothes were drenched in sweat not long after she left the house. The sticky feeling on her body made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Even so, Du Yue did not want to go back. The temperature would only get higher. She had to get used to the high temperature as soon as possible so that she could survive in the apocalyptic world.
Walking out of the neighborhood, Du Yue saw that the shopping malls and supermarkets along the street were all brightly lit. Their doors were wide open and they were all open for business. There were also many snack stalls set up on the side of the street.
Du Yue strolled around aimlessly along the street and bought quite a lot of things along the way.
In three months, Du Yue’s three billion in savings was reduced to five hundred million, and there was only one-tenth of the storage space left.
Du Yue had withdrawn five million from different banks at different times over the past few days. She had turned the rest of the money into gold bars and stored them in a corner of the space.
Although it was only five million, Du Yue was not sure if she could spend it all before money lost its value.
Thus, she shopped and bought. As long as she was interested in it, she bought it all, regardless of whether she could use it or not.
Du Yue strolled around outside until past midnight before she returned home, still unsatisfied.
As soon as she entered the house, Du Yue took off her clothes and went straight to the bathroom and took a cold shower.
After taking a cold shower to her heart’s content, Du Yue walked to the ice maker and took out all the ice cubes she had just made, placing them into a large bucket and putting them away in her storage space.
Some time ago, after traveling around the province, Du Yue had bought two commercial ice makers from the mall and placed them in the kitchen. She then made as much ice as she could.
Du Yue put the ice into a big bucket she had bought in advance and then put it into her storage space.
She wanted to stock up as much ice as possible before the power outages started. According to the speed at which things were progressing, the world would descend into chaos soon, so she had to make hay while the sun still shone.
In addition to the ice maker, Du Yue also went shopping for ice cream, buying several carts of the stuff. In addition to these, Du Yue also purchased many raw materials for making various kinds of ice points. During these days, she not only made ice, but also some ice cream and snow ice desserts, and put them away into her storage space.
