I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse

Chapter 14: The Suffocating Heat

Now, almost every household was equipped with curtains. Du Yue had also bought curtains a long time ago, but because she did not want to attract attention, she waited until her neighbors had installed curtains before she put up her own.

She also installed the solar panels. Seeing that the impending power shortages would soon arrive, she had to prepare herself in advance to save herself the trouble of doing so when it actually happened.

Although Du Yue had been adapting to the current high temperature, she had never thought of exposing herself to the high temperatures all day long. After all, that would be simply torturous.

She had hoarded so many necessities so that she could live a more comfortable life during the apocalypse, instead of living desperately and perilously.

As expected, on the third day after Du Yue installed the solar panels, there was a power outage in her community.

The other neighborhoods had all been out of power a day or two ago, and hers was the only neighborhood that had been spared until now. In the beginning, there was a group of owners who were smug, saying that the power supply was still normal in their own community, even though the other communities had power outages. A day after he said that, the power went off in their neighborhood.

Coincidentally, the power outage happened just after one o ‘clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day. At this time, the temperature outside had already reached 59 degrees.

Although every house was equipped with a sunshade, the house was still so hot that it became hard to breathe after just ten minutes.

Du Yue connected the solar panels to the power source, and then pulled the plug into her bedroom and turned on the swamp cooler.

Du Yue had already filled the swamp cooler’s ice box with water and placed it in the refrigerator’s freezer. She took out the ice box from the refrigerator and placed it in the water tank at the bottom of the swamp cooler. She then filled the water tank with water. This way, when the wind blew, it was like a small air conditioner that could lower the temperature in the room and increase the humidity.

The cool air provided by a single swamp cooler was not enough, so Du Yue took out three more from her storage space and placed them in the four corners of the room to cool herself down.

She lay on the bed with a summer sleeping mat, feeling the cool wind blowing from all directions. It was very comfortable.

She also placed a bed table on the bed, and her tablet was playing a variety show on it. There was a plate of watermelon slices in front of Du Yue. She picked up a piece and ate it bit by bit.

Du Yue had found farmers in the countryside to pick the watermelons from their fields. They were crunchy, sweet, and full of moisture. Du Yue had bought 20,000 watermelons in one go back then, so she did not feel any heartache eating them now.

She lowered her head and took another big bite of the watermelon, after which, Du Yue’s eyes curved into crescents in satisfaction.

After experiencing the high temperatures in her previous life, even though she was only wearing shorts and a tank top, and she was lying on the bed with all the curtains closed, she still got a heat stroke.

Compared to her previous life, her current life was simply too comfortable.

Du Yue had also bought many tablets. She had downloaded all kinds of Korean dramas, variety shows, reality shows, documentaries, musicals, and movies that she liked to watch.

There were also a few tablets that were specially designated for various small games that did not require the internet so that she could pass time when she was bored.

She had also bought dozens of boxes of paper books. There were all sorts of medical books, as well as books on various animal rearing and planting techniques and science. Of course, there were also some romance novels. Although Du Yue did not usually read paperback books, she still bought them all and put them in her space.

While she was watching the variety show, Du Yue’s phone kept vibrating, so she shut off the show and took a look.

The homeowner’s chat group was flooded with complaints as usual. Almost everyone was asking why it was so hot recently.

Du Yue watched quietly as everyone complained in the group.

It would not be easy for her to survive the apocalypse, much less protect others.

The power outage lasted until 10pm. Once the power was restored, a notice about the scheduled power outages was also announced by the news channels.

Almost everyone was complaining, but they could do nothing to change the current situation.
