Chapter 8: Chapter 8 It's too hot. One can only sleep during the day and go out at night.
Liu Ruoyan would go to the supermarket every night. In order not to seem too different, besides snacks, she would also buy some other things.
When she was stocking up on supplies before, Liu Ruoyan bought a lot of rice and flour, as well as instant noodles, but she didn't buy dried noodles.
Now, Liu Ruoyan has stocked up on some more.
Although the taste of dried noodles isn't very good, they have the advantage of being durable and can be taken out in front of others in the future.
The city where Liu Ruoyan lives is not far from the imperial capital and is also a first-tier city.
There are countless large and small shopping malls and supermarkets in the city. Liu Ruoyan goes to a different place every night and changes the types of things she buys each time.
After getting in the car, she would put most of the things into her space and only carry the rest home, which didn't arouse anyone's suspicion.
After all, under the current situation, there are quite a lot of people like Liu Ruoyan who buy supplies and take them home every day.
The time has already entered mid-September.
At this time of the year in the past, autumn clothes would have already been on the market, and winter clothes were also getting ready to be launched.
But this year, even when people are wearing short-sleeved shirts and big shorts, they still feel hot.
When going out at night, Liu Ruoyan saw quite a few shops having big sales on autumn and winter clothes.
Liu Ruoyan had already stocked up on a lot of these clothes, but those were all for herself to wear.
Looking at the various styles of clothes in the shop, after hesitating for a moment, Liu Ruoyan still walked in.
In her previous life, Liu Ruoyan struggled to survive alone in the apocalypse. It wasn't that no men approached her, but all those men had various motives.
Liu Ruoyan isn't stupid. Naturally, she wouldn't be with such people. So until the tenth year of the apocalypse, Liu Ruoyan was still alone.
In this life, Liu Ruoyan isn't sure whether she will still live alone all her life, but as the saying goes, it's better to be prepared.
Since she has come across it, she'll buy some clothes and stock them up.
If she really needs them, she won't be without.
If she doesn't need them... How could she not need them!
She can keep them for herself to wear!
With this mindset, Liu Ruoyan bought quite a lot of men's clothes.
The sizes were all above 185.
Liu Ruoyan thinks that she is quite picky when it comes to men.
A man who can't fit into size 185 clothes can't possibly be her boyfriend!
Liu Ruoyan's car was parked outside. After paying the bill, she and two shop assistants made several trips back and forth before loading all the clothes, shoes, and socks onto the car.
Fortunately, the car had enough space, otherwise it really wouldn't have been able to hold them all.
Liu Ruoyan drove the car back to the underground parking lot of the community, parked the car, and then carried a bag of food into the elevator.
As for those clothes, they had already been put into the space by Liu Ruoyan long ago.
When the elevator reached the first floor, it stopped and the door opened. Two aunts walked in.
Both of them were also carrying big and small bags, their faces were red from exhaustion and sweating all over. After standing still, they didn't forget to chat.
"Go back and quickly fill all the things that can hold water in the house with water. Tomorrow, the water supply will be restricted to specific times. We must store enough water in advance. Otherwise, how can we survive such a hot day without water!"
"Who says it isn't! My little grandson would love to soak in water all day long. It won't do without water."
"First, the power supply was restricted to specific times, and now the water supply is also restricted to specific times. Why is life going backwards?
I heard my son say that many people on the Internet are saying that the apocalypse is coming!"
"What apocalypse or not, I don't understand! But it's always right to stock up more on food and drinks!"
Liu Ruoyan stood behind the two of them, listening to their conversation silently.
After a while, the floors of the two people arrived, and they got out of the elevator one after another, leaving Liu Ruoyan alone in the elevator.
She had been buying things all the time and hadn't even looked at the messages in the community group, so she didn't know that the notice about the restricted water supply had been sent out.
Back at home, after closing the door, Liu Ruoyan immediately put the things she was carrying into the space and at the same time took out her phone and opened the community owners' group.
As soon as she opened it, an announcement popped up, notifying exactly about the restricted power supply and restricted water supply.
After reading the message, Liu Ruoyan slowly let out a breath and closed her phone.
While there was still water, Liu Ruoyan quickly went to take a bath. Back in the bedroom, she turned on an air-conditioning fan.
At night, the temperature was only a little over thirty degrees, so Liu Ruoyan usually only turned on one air-conditioning fan.
After filling the 1,000 water tanks and 1,000 water buckets she had bought before, Liu Ruoyan ordered an additional 200 of each.
During this period of time, they had all been filled with water.
Now that she knew the water supply would be restricted to specific times, Liu Ruoyan wasn't worried.
Liu Ruoyan didn't lack water, but she also didn't plan to waste it.
The water used for washing clothes and the waste water from washing rice and vegetables, she all used to flush the toilet, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Liu Ruoyan believed that after the restricted water supply, there would definitely be many people who would do the same as her.
If you're not thrifty, life will force you to be thrifty sooner or later.
But Liu Ruoyan also knew that this method could only be used for a while.
Later on, when people's water resources became less and less and even drinking water became a problem, there would be no water to wash clothes, let alone something as luxurious as flushing the toilet.
At that time, when you flushed the toilet, the people downstairs could hear the noise, which would only cause trouble for yourself.
In her previous life, after the water shortage, many people no longer went to the toilet at home. They all went to public toilets, and later they simply found a secluded corner to relieve themselves.
There were also some people who had no sense of public morality and didn't look for any secluded corners. They could relieve themselves anywhere.
When going out at night, the light was already bad. Liu Ruoyan really didn't want to recall the experience of accidentally stepping on a "landmine".
In order not to experience the embarrassment of looking for a toilet again, Liu Ruoyan specifically searched on Baidu.
The result was pleasing to Liu Ruoyan.
Apocalypse enthusiasts have their own sets of solutions to deal with various natural disasters.
After reading a few posts, Liu Ruoyan learned about a magical thing - cat litter.
Liu Ruoyan had never raised a cat, so naturally she didn't know about cat litter.
But after learning about it, Liu Ruoyan also kept sighing that it was really a great invention!
Liu Ruoyan contacted two large cat litter factories and ordered a full fifty tons of cat litter.
Boxes of cat litter were stacked in a corner of the space at this moment, stacked from the floor to the ceiling, giving Liu Ruoyan a full sense of security.
This is also the magic of the space.
Liu Ruoyan can stack things together until they touch the top of the space.
The things won't collapse, and the things below won't be crushed.
This also ensures that every inch of the space can be fully utilized.
Liu Ruoyan lay on the bed, thinking about things while blowing on the air-conditioning fan, and then fell asleep.
When Liu Ruoyan woke up again, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun at six o'clock in the afternoon was still scorching the earth.
Liu Ruoyan only opened a small slit in the curtain and took a look outside. She was stabbed by the sunlight and subconsciously closed her eyes.
Now, everyone has already gotten used to being active at night and resting during the day.
They go to sleep when it's almost dawn and get up when the sun is almost setting.
