Stockpiling in the Apocalypse: Supplies Forging a Legend of Survival

Just as Liu Ruoyan had expected, the temperature suddenly soared, and many people who had gone out fainted from the heat outside.

If they were seen by others, someone could help call an ambulance for them.

Those who weren't seen directly lost their lives because of this.

Especially some elderly people always liked to go out for a stroll in the morning, then go to the supermarket to buy groceries at noon, and finally go home.

This sudden rise in temperature was unbearable even for the young and strong, let alone these elderly people.

Throughout the day, the sound of ambulances never stopped.

The community where Liu Ruoyan lived was a high-end one, with apartment buildings and residential buildings.

There were quite a lot of people living in the community, and some of them were also fainted from the heat. The ambulances made many round trips.

Online, various posts about the high temperature emerged one after another, like snowflakes.

Liu Ruoyan would take a look at them at first, but later she simply turned off her phone.

This was just the beginning. The days to come would only be more difficult.

It wasn't until it got dark that the temperature dropped a little.

The community, which had been quiet all day, became lively after it got dark.

After changing her clothes, Liu Ruoyan also went downstairs.

As soon as she walked out of the unit door, a wave of heat hit her face.

Liu Ruoyan estimated that even though it was already dark, the temperature should still be over thirty degrees.

She hadn't walked far before she felt sticky all over and had a thin layer of sweat on her body.

Even so, Liu Ruoyan had no intention of going back upstairs.

The temperature would only get hotter day by day in the future. She wanted to let her body adapt to the current temperature so that she could survive better in the apocalypse.

Once out of the community, she could see that all kinds of shops on the street were open, and there were also various stalls on the roadside.

Liu Ruoyan bought quite a lot of small things as she walked along.

In the past three months, Liu Ruoyan had been collecting various supplies. She had already spent 1.8 billion out of 2.1 billion, and her space was already nine-tenths full.

For the remaining money, Liu Ruoyan only kept a few million in cash, and she converted the rest into gold bars and piled them up in the space.

She didn't even know if she could spend these few million before the currency lost its function.

She bought everything she liked along the way, whether it was useful or not.

After wandering outside for two hours, Liu Ruoyan finally went home.

The first thing she did after getting home was to take a bath.

After coming out of the bath, Liu Ruoyan went to the ice maker, took out all the ice inside and put it into a large bucket, and then stored it in the space.

After coming back from the neighboring city, Liu Ruoyan had ordered two ice makers and placed them at home to make ice non-stop for 24 hours.

All the ice made was put into the large buckets she had bought in advance and then put into the space.

While there was still electricity, Liu Ruoyan wanted to make as much ice as possible so that when the power went out, even if she couldn't use the generator, she could take out some ice to cool down.

After buying the ice maker, Liu Ruoyan had driven her Hummer to several cold storages and bought several trucks of ice creams and popsicles.

She also bought a lot of raw materials for making ice creams and popsicles.

When she had nothing to do, Liu Ruoyan would also make some and put them in the freezer. Once they were frozen, she would store them in the space.

She was like a little hamster, gradually filling her space more and more full.

The supplies in the space were clearly divided. Although Liu Ruoyan couldn't enter the space herself, as long as she determined the location of what she wanted to find, she could immediately take it out.

Before going to bed, Liu Ruoyan checked the supplies in the space and then closed her eyes contentedly.

Three months after being reborn, Liu Ruoyan no longer had nightmares when she went to sleep at night.

When Liu Ruoyan woke up after a sleep, it was already bright outside, and the light shone in through the gaps in the curtain.

She rubbed her eyes and took a look at her phone.

It was only four thirty in the morning!

Not only was the weather getting hotter and hotter, but it was also getting light very early.

Fortunately, the sun hadn't come out yet, and there was still a little cool breeze in the early morning.

Liu Ruoyan turned off the air conditioner and opened the window to let the outside air in.

Liu Ruoyan didn't plan to go out during the day. She could only sense the outside temperature in this way to let herself adapt as soon as possible.

After washing up, Liu Ruoyan went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

She took out the big pot for cooking porridge, put the soaked mung beans in it, added some rock sugar, and turned on the switch to let it cook slowly.

Liu Ruoyan also took out some flour from the space and started kneading the dough.

Liu Ruoyan planned to make scallion pancakes today.

Each time she finished frying a scallion pancake, Liu Ruoyan would directly store it in the space.

In this way, the scallion pancake would retain the taste just out of the pan.

The time in the space was static, and the smell wouldn't spread. There was no need to worry that the tastes of various foods would mix together.

Liu Ruoyan kneaded a lot of dough and fried more than a hundred pancakes in one go.

It was only because she had practiced martial arts since childhood and was much stronger than ordinary people. Otherwise, just kneading the dough and rolling out the pancakes would have tired her arms out.

Although she was cooking, Liu Ruoyan thought that this could also be regarded as a kind of disguised physical exercise.

The cooked mung bean soup, Liu Ruoyan didn't store it away immediately. Instead, she let it cool to room temperature and then put it in the freezer.

After freezing for a few hours, it became mung bean shaved ice.

Then she divided it into disposable lunch boxes and stored it in the space.

In the hot summer, eating such a bowl of cold mung bean shaved ice would make a person feel cool from the inside out.

Liu Ruoyan had been busy with her own things and hadn't paid attention to the online messages.

When she finished her work and took a bath, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Liu Ruoyan carried half of a chilled watermelon to the living room, put the watermelon on the small table, and sat down on the carpet with her legs crossed.

The chilled watermelon was icy, sweet, and refreshing. One bite would make you feel cool to the core and soothe Liu Ruoyan's tired heart after a busy morning.

After eating a few bites of watermelon, Liu Ruoyan finally opened her phone.

The weather forecast said that the highest temperature today would be as high as fifty-five degrees. To avoid sunburn, schools of all sizes had already taken holidays.

Companies that could work from home had changed to working from home. Those that couldn't work from home had changed to working at night or simply taken holidays.

Liu Ruoyan closed Weibo and opened the Tieba.

In the Tieba, there were quite a lot more remarks about the apocalypse than the day before.

Many people were suggesting that everyone should stock up on more food and water. There were also some carefree people who took pictures of the supplies they had stocked up and posted them online.

In her previous life, Liu Ruoyan had also seen such posts.

At that time, Liu Ruoyan didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until later that she heard that some people who had posted pictures of their supplies had been robbed.

This incident also alerted Liu Ruoyan, making her understand that one should be low-key in life and work, and must understand the principle of not showing off one's wealth.

In the WeChat community group, the messages had already reached 999+ long ago, but new messages were still popping up continuously.

Liu Ruoyan took a look. Most of them were complaining about the horrible weather, and some were saying that they would go to buy more supplies.

There were also people worrying that with the temperature being so high and the electricity consumption increasing, whether there would be a power outage.
