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 19 The End of the World Begins

August 16, 2050, this day has finally come.

Super Typhoon Mersa landed in the eastern part of Huainan Province at 4 a.m.

Su Keke hardly slept that night.

It was pouring rain outside, and the wind was howling in gusts. The trash cans on the streets were swept away by the wind and rolled everywhere.

She could clearly hear the sound of wind, rain, breaking branches, and ambulance sirens even on the 20th floor.

From time to time, the sound of objects colliding could be heard on the ground throughout the city, and many sleeping people were woken up by this noise.

“There really is such a big typhoon!”

“I wonder if the flowers on my balcony have been blown away!”

"I don't have to go to work tomorrow. How wonderful!"

Most people were not aware of the danger of this super typhoon. Even the Lingcheng Municipal Office felt that the situation was under control and that the wind would be at its strongest when it made landfall.

In the previous life, the houses in Changhong Community could even withstand acid rain, and the landlord also said that their glass is all high-quality impact-resistant glass.

So the reason why Su Keke couldn't sleep was not because she was afraid of the super typhoon, but because she had an instinctive resistance to the coming of the end of the world.

Since she couldn’t sleep anyway, Su Keke went into the space to exercise.

Life is still peaceful in the capsule house. The time on the transparent display on the wall of the living room has accumulated to 255 hours.

"The time has increased so much?"

Su Keke calculated the accumulated time and it seemed that it would automatically increase by 5 hours every day since she owned this space.

"Such a powerful function, I actually forgot to find a place where no one is around to try it out!"

Su Keke shook her head in annoyance.

“Let’s go running today!”

Going down to the room on the second floor, Su Keke changed into a set of sportswear.

There was still fog outside the capsule house. Su Keke tried to go out and explore several times, but found nothing.

Because there was heavy fog outside, she couldn't see anything with the naked eye. She had no choice but to give up for the time being as she didn't find anything.

Su Keke ran for half an hour in the gym on the first floor, and then went to the balcony on the third floor to water the flowers.

Finally, I took a shower and came out. It was still past four in the morning outside the space, and there was still wind and rain outside the window.

"Keke! Are you afraid of a typhoon?"

When Su Keke saw the WeChat message from Grandma Qiao, her brows instantly relaxed.

"Grandma Qiao! You were also woken up by the typhoon! I wasn't afraid, it was just a little noisy, and I couldn't sleep so I got up." Su Keke said truthfully.

Grandma Qiao turned on the bedside lamp, leaned on a pillow, and continued to edit what she had said to Su Keke on her phone, "I can't sleep with such a howling wind!"

"It's been many years since we've encountered such a strong typhoon! I hope the weather will be a little cooler after this typhoon passes."

"Well! Hope!" Su Keke knew that the end of the world had just begun, but there must always be hope.

She lay on the sofa in the living room and chatted with Grandma Qiao on WeChat for more than two hours, talking about food, fashion, flower growing, books, cartoons, in short, everything.

Grandma Qiao and Su Keke both like to watch Conan, so they have a common topic again, but the topic they are talking about is a bit off topic.

The two of them actually discussed whether Shinran's future children would be handsome and smart, after all, their parents' good genes were there.

Before she knew it, the sky outside the living room window gradually became brighter. Su Keke looked at the time and it was almost seven o'clock in the morning.

The wind was a little weaker at this time.

Grandma Qiao said she was going to get up and make breakfast, and asked Su Keke to come over and eat later.

"Ah? Am I going to your place to eat for free again?" Su Keke typed on her phone with a smile.

"How can this be considered freeloading? I treat you as my granddaughter. Who dares to accuse you of freeloading when you come to my house for breakfast?"

Grandma Qiao’s typing speed was no slower than Su Keke’s, and soon a message came.

"My grandma Qiao is so domineering!"

After Su Keke finished typing, she added an emoticon of a beautiful woman wearing sunglasses.

Grandma Qiao was so amused that she posted several Haha ...!

"It was really windy at four in the morning. I was afraid our windows would be damaged!"

"Typhoons are really unfriendly to high-rise residents. There's not even a building in front to block the wind!"

Shi Huan was also woken up at four in the morning. The sound of the typhoon roaring past was really scary.

"We have typhoons every year. Have you ever seen a tall building blown down?"

"Don't scare yourself here. It's not too late now. Go back to sleep. It's a rare day off!"

After saying this, Meng Yi turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

He played games with a few friends until two in the morning last night. When "Mersha" logged in at four o'clock, he was sleeping like a pig. Shi Huan pushed him several times but he didn't wake up.

"You are so careless. You can fall asleep even when there are bangs everywhere outside!"

Shi Huan complained and picked up the remote control to turn off the air conditioner. She didn't know if it was because of the typhoon, but she suddenly felt a little cold in the middle of summer.

It was a rare day off, so Shi Huan was too lazy to get up early to make breakfast.

"How about I sleep a little longer?"

On the other side, Lu Mei's century egg and lean meat porridge was ready. She served three bowls and placed them on the table to cool.

Chen Da stood by the window and looked down at the community. Although the wind was a little weaker now, the rain was still heavy. Everything outside the window was blurry. He stood on tiptoe and put his face against the glass, but he still couldn't see what was going on downstairs.

"Don't look at it anymore. This typhoon is going to last for a while! Go and wake up your son for breakfast!"

Lu Mei stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon so that it would cool down faster.

"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"

"Son! Your mother asked me to call you for breakfast!" Chen Da stood at his son's door with one hand on his waist and shouted loudly.

"Dad! I want to sleep and I won't have breakfast!" Chen Li replied in a daze in the room.

"Kid, I've already served you breakfast, so hurry up and wash up. It's the same thing as going to sleep after eating!"

Lu Mei put down the bowl and ran to her son's door and knocked.

"Oh my god! I'm really impressed by you! I'll get up and have breakfast now, please stop knocking!"

Chen Li sat up from the bed angrily, his face full of reluctance.

He watched TV series until dawn last night, and just as he fell asleep he was woken up by his parents' repeated knocks on the door.

Most young people have the same idea as Chen Li.

It's a rare opportunity to sleep in during the holidays, so who would want to get up and have breakfast?

I guess Su Keke is not a young person, haha!

She is now sitting at the dining table in Grandma Qiao's house, full of energy, eating each fried dumpling with relish.

Grandma Qiao’s cooking skills are, not to mention Su Keke’s exaggeration, really at the level of a hotel chef.

Take this plate of fried dumplings for example. Grandma Qiao made them crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When you take a bite, you can taste the crispy skin and the juicy meat filling. Su Keke couldn't help but eat one after another.

"Grandma Qiao, it would be a shame if you didn't open a shop with your skills!" Su Keke praised.

"Why open a store? If you think it tastes good, come and eat with an old lady like me every day!"

"That's fine! Then I'll come here every day from now on!"

Su Keke thought that this was a good idea, as she could now legitimately deliver supplies to Grandma Qiao's house.

"Come! If you don't come, I'll be angry with you!" Grandma Qiao said with a deliberately stern face.

"Okay!" Su Keke stuffed another fried dumpling into her mouth and ate it with great satisfaction.
