Apocalyptic Paradise

Chapter 2

Chen Zhuxia flustered for a few minutes, then slowly calmed down.After her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she fumbled for a candle to light.

She turned on the radio, which creaked and had no signal.

She was discouraged, so she didn't think about anything at all, and just hit the sandbags one after another by candlelight.

Sweat more now, bleed less later!

The earthquake stopped after only 10 minutes.But the blackout continued.

After Chen Zhuxia was tired from punching, he fell asleep.

The next day was still gray and the power outage continued.Chen Zhuxia was slightly flustered.Didn't you say there is still one month left?Why is it early.

Chen Zhuxia was still on the bed staring at the darkness outside the window in a daze, when she heard the door being knocked loudly.

Chen Zhuxia stood at the door pulling his slippers and asked, "Who is it?"

"I, Uncle Chen from the door opposite you. I came to borrow a candle from you." They are all neighbors, just a candle.Chen Zhuxia said yes.He found a candle and opened the door and handed it to him.

Uncle Chen took it gratefully and thanked him repeatedly.

However, this matter started but never ended.

The person from the opposite door came, and everyone from upstairs and downstairs came to borrow.Because they all knew that Chen Zhuxia hoarded a lot of things.

After dismissing them, Chen Zhuxia secretly regretted it.Why wasn't he more cautious in the first place?

If you borrow everything and return it when you run out, no amount of things can stop you from borrowing.Now I borrow candles, and later I borrow food and drink.

No, she had to think of a way.

Fortunately, on the third day, the sun, which had disappeared for two days, came out again, and the earth was bright again.Electricity and water also came intermittently.Chen Zhuxia quickly filled the buckets and tanks with water.Taking advantage of the time now, she quickly made rice noodles into various dry food that can be stored for a long time, and pickled vegetables into pickles.Although in this way, vitamins will be lost, but it is better than nothing.Chen Zhuxia was extremely busy, and her neighbors were even busier.In the afternoon, when she went downstairs to inquire about the news, she learned that people now felt that the end was coming.They are all scrambling for supplies in major supermarkets.Many supermarkets with a large flow of people already need the police and army to control them.

And the price of food in supermarkets has become ridiculously high.Chen Zhuxia is glad that she bought it early, otherwise, how many things can she buy with this little money?
Chen Zhuxia wandered around the neighborhood, and ran into Aunt Liu who was frowning.

"Little Chen." Aunt Liu greeted Chen Zhuxia.

Chen Zhuxia also smiled back.Aunt Liu was about to leave in a hurry, when she suddenly remembered something, she stopped and asked, "Xiao Chen, let me ask you, you used to hoard so many things, are you selling them now?"

Chen Zhuxia resolutely replied: "No, I didn't buy much either."

Aunt Liu approached with a look of disbelief and said, "Xiao Chen, you are the only one in your family. It's useless if you want so much. You see, when my four sons are young and can eat, you can cannot……"

Chen Zhuxia interrupted her and said, "Ma'am, I really don't have much. If you want to buy something, go to a supermarket far away. I'm leaving."

Chen Zhuxia turned and left.Just kidding, who knows what will happen next?At that time, if you have money, you will not be able to spend it.

After the light came on the third day, from the fourth day onwards, the earth fell into darkness again.The entire community was cut off again.

After that, people kept coming to Chen Zhuxia looking for things.Chen Zhuxia was an orphan since she was a child, and then became a home girl after growing up. She has a cold personality and doesn't like to socialize with others.Naturally, there are not so many Virgin Mary feelings.Since then, she never borrowed them, and she didn't even open the door.

Every day, she cooks and eats with a flashlight or candles.She is still not used to reading by candlelight. When she is very bored, she keeps punching and punching, and even runs around the house with a small sandbag.Fortunately, there are vacant rooms below, so don't worry about the noise.

She turned on the radio, and sometimes found some intermittent news, such as: the whole world is experiencing similar problems, a tsunami in Indonesia, a major earthquake in Japan, etc., there are disasters all over the world all the time, every day People are dying all the time.

Doomsday comes gradually.

In the beginning, there were knocks on the door every day.But Chen Zhuxia didn't open it even once.People's hearts are sinister, she should be cautious as a single girl, let alone in this last days.She has been careless once, and there can be no second time.

But no matter how cautious she was, she was still tricked by people.

On this day, the door of her house was knocked non-stop as usual.

Chen Zhuxia still ignored it.But those people simply don't want to stop.First they knock on the door, then they slam on the door, or they slam it with something.Chen Zhuxia couldn't bear it this time, and she cursed loudly through the door: "What are you doing, are you breaking into a private house? Get out of here quickly, if you do this again, I won't be polite!"

Those people ignored her and continued to knock on the door.Then I heard someone outside saying: "We are short of food now. I heard that you have hidden a lot of food. Please give us some now, and we will leave immediately." Chen Zhuxia thought to himself, I will give it to you today, what about later?Ask me for it after eating.How can I have so many things to supply you!
She tried her best to suppress her anger and said: "I don't eat much anymore. And all I bought was toilet paper and other inedible things."

Those people didn't believe it at all, and started banging with wood again.The door of Chen Zhuxia's house had been modified long ago, how could it be so easy to break open.Seeing that they couldn't open it, these people tried to unlock it with something, but it still didn't work.Chen Zhuxia wanted to kill these people.But she knew she couldn't go out at this time.There was more than one person outside, there were at least a dozen people listening to the voice.No matter how powerful she is, she is no match for them.

Call the police?Just kidding, communication has long been interrupted by the solar storm.

She can't rely on anyone, she can only rely on herself.

The end times have only just begun, and these people are thinking of robbing their neighbors.
