Apocalyptic Natural Disasters: I Have a Capsule House

On the tenth day of the apocalypse, Su Keke was forcibly driven out of her home by her adoptive parents and sister. The reason was to reduce one person's consumption of supplies, even though Su...

Chapter 15: The Last Stockpile Before the End of the World

The super typhoon "Mersa" is expected to make landfall in the eastern coastal area of our province in the early morning three days later. Citizens are requested to take precautionary measures and try to stay at home as little as possible in the next few days.

Early in the morning, Su Keke was woken up by the alarm at seven o'clock as usual. When she turned off the alarm, she saw the typhoon warning text message on her mobile phone.

In the previous life, it seemed that it was also during these few days that the Meteorological Observatory began to issue several super typhoon warnings every day.

When Su Keke saw the text message, she lost all desire to sleep. She got up and opened the curtains. It was drizzling outside and the sky was gray.

The temperature has been high these days. Even if it rains, it will still be very hot and stuffy at home if the air conditioner is not turned on.

While there is still electricity and internet, Su Keke quickly took out her laptop, tablet and mobile phone, and cleared out all the useless pictures, videos and files in them.

Open a few commonly used video websites and apps. Any decent movies or TV series require membership to watch.

"Okay! I have to open a few more memberships!" Since her rebirth, Su Keke has never logged into these video apps, and she didn't renew her previous memberships when they expired.

"Then let's open it for 7 days. It would be a waste if it's open for a month." Su Keke picked up the phone and with a few clicks, the memberships of several apps were opened.

Su Keke found a lot of TV series, movies, cartoons, and variety shows, and they are all waiting in line for downloading.

Especially cartoons, Grandma Qiao loves watching them. Anyway, it’s better to download some videos of all kinds and keep them as a backup. Otherwise, Grandma Qiao and I can only play flying chess at home.

Su Keke still remembers the early days of the apocalypse in her previous life. Although there was a power outage and the internet was cut off, she and Grandma Qiao still had enough supplies, so they were not as anxious as other people. When they were bored, they would play flying chess at home to pass the time.

Oh, right! Su Keke remembered that Grandma Qiao had the habit of growing vegetables on the balcony.

In the previous life, I didn’t prepare enough seeds. Grandma Qiao’s balcony was not big, and the vegetables she planted were eaten up soon.

Su Keke turned on her computer and mobile phone to automatically download information. She had to go out before the wind and rain were not too strong.

Buy a few more hard drives to store movies and TV series. Buy some vegetable seeds, and even better, some poultry, but I don't know if the space is big enough to raise poultry.

After a simple breakfast, Su Keke went out wearing a raincoat. It is most convenient to wear a raincoat when going out on a typhoon day, as an umbrella would easily be blown away.

"Xiao Su, are you going out in such heavy rain?" The security guard pushed open a small window and asked with concern.

"Yes! Let's go out and buy some food. There's no food at home. The weather station said there's a typhoon, so you should also prepare more food at home!" Su Keke responded.

"Okay! Then be careful on the road!"

The security guard closed the window and continued playing Landlord on his mobile phone.

"It's just a little wind. There's no need to be so nervous. The little girl is still timid."

"They said it would land in our province in three days. Didn't they say the same thing last year? But when the time came, there was no sign of the typhoon."

Another security guard was scrolling through the short video in his hand and said nonchalantly that he didn't care about this little typhoon.

"You're right. I remember the captain bought a lot of instant noodles, saying he would eat them if he got hungry during the night shift! I didn't expect there was no wind at all. At most it just rained a little."

"Hahaha! I guess it'll be similar this year."

The two of them sat side by side, playing with their phones and occasionally exchanging a few words. It seemed that being a community security guard was quite leisurely.

Su Keke drove a small truck to a digital store and spent more than 2,000 yuan to buy five 1T hard drives. Then he went to a car rental agency and replaced the small truck with a sturdy and crash-resistant off-road vehicle.

However, the daily rental price of this off-road vehicle is twice as expensive as that of a small truck.

Before, Su Keke bargained with the owner of the car rental company and she negotiated the rental price of the small truck down to 100 yuan a day.

Now the owner of the off-road vehicle actually wants 300 yuan a day for rent. Is the owner waiting for her here? Su Keke felt a little pained by such a large amount of money a day.

But think about it, the end of the world is coming soon, and off-road vehicles are indeed much more practical than small trucks.

Su Keke made up her mind, paid the ten-day car rental fee, and drove away in the SUV.

"But this car just feels better than that pickup truck!"

Su Keke turned on the music and hummed along. The wind and rain outside were getting stronger and stronger, and many shops on the street began to close.

"In this weather, I wonder if the farmers market will close early!"

She suddenly became anxious, turned off the music in the car, stepped hard on the accelerator, and finally bought various vegetable seeds and ten chicks before the farmer's market closed.

Back in her car, Su Keke put the hard drive, seeds and chickens into the space to avoid the trouble of taking them out on rainy days.

Seeing that there was still 20,000 yuan left in her bank card balance, Su Keke drove to the big supermarket in Changhong Community.

On typhoon days, there were few people in the supermarket and a few counter clerks were chatting together.

"Schools and government offices are all on holiday today, why aren't we on holiday yet?"

"You're dreaming. When there's a typhoon, we'll have a holiday. At most, we'll get off work early. We usually get off work at 10:30 pm, but today we'll probably get off work at 8 pm!"

"Really? 8 o'clock is fine! It's raining so hard and I have to squeeze into the bus after get off work. If I get off work earlier, there will be fewer people and I think I can still get a seat."

Su Keke pushed the shopping cart and went straight to the food section. "Twenty thousand dollars, haha! I'm going to buy all my favorite snacks today."

Chocolate, M&Ms, potato chips of various flavors, bags of chicken legs, chicken wings, chicken feet, duck tongues, beef jerky, yogurt of various flavors, drinks, and ice cream, all were put into the shopping cart without even looking closely, with the main purpose of showing off their wealth!

Self-heating rice, self-heating hot pot, compressed vegetable soup, compressed biscuits, egg yolk crisps, snowflake crisps, cranberry biscuits, and cookies, keep throwing them into the shopping cart.

Su Keke hadn't taken enough things yet, and the shopping cart was almost full.

She had no choice but to push the shopping cart to the checkout counter, tell the cashier, and then push another shopping cart to go shopping.

Tripe, chicken gizzards, duck blood, fatty beef, various meatballs, crab sticks, various hot pot bases, steak, frozen dumplings, frozen wontons, pan-fried buns, custard buns, pork and cabbage buns, scallion pancakes, preserved vegetable pancakes, beef patties, all of these are needed.

Watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, kiwi, grapes, peaches, oranges, and bayberry, I bought more than ten kilograms of each.

Finally, I went to the home textile area on the second floor and bought 5 ice silk mats and 10 down quilts. Last time, I was so busy buying four-piece sets that I forgot to buy this kind of warm quilt.

It is very hot in summer now, but it will be extremely cold in the end times, which is freezing to death. In the previous life, Grandma Qiao and I relied on a few down quilts at home to survive.

I went to the cashier to pay, the total was yuan.

"That was a close call! I almost spent too much!" Su Keke breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, when the cashier was scanning the barcodes one by one, she stared at the monitor without blinking. If the payment amount reaches 30,000, she can't take the rest of the items because she has no money.

It seems that I am lucky this time. There is no one in the supermarket due to the typhoon, and many fruits and meats are on sale.

Su Keke asked the supermarket security to help move the quilt and mat to the trunk of the SUV. She ran back and forth twice for the snacks and other food herself, and finally put all the things she bought in the car.
