Crazy Stockpiling at the End of Days

Orphaned and working tirelessly for three years, I finally bought my own house only to face the apocalypse. For the second time, I must endure the same catastrophic disaster.

But this time I ...

Chapter 80: Back to the Port

"Then we can go to the base. We'll go out another day and get the car."

Although there are many cars in the space, they can't be taken out suddenly; an opportunity needs to be found.

It's possible that water evaporates and absorbs heat, keeping the outside temperature at 32°C without rising further. No one went out during the time the ice outside was melting.

Despite the heat, everyone persisted in training every day, and they all wore the thermostatic clothing they received from the science museum. Everyone was very grateful to Xu Lin.

A week later, the water outside had dried up, revealing the muddy road surface. Another day passed, and the mud on the road surface had dried up as well. All kinds of garbage were scattered everywhere, and the temperature rose to 40°C. Xu Lin decided to go out that night to get the car out.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun set and the temperature began to drop, but there was still light. Xu Lin and Zhou Pin ate dinner early and went out. The dogs had been cooped up at home for so many days and were getting impatient. As soon as the door opened, they rushed out, and three minutes later they ran back and jumped around in front of Xu Lin.

"I told you to run so fast, your feet must be burning hot outside!" Xu Lin teased as she took out dog shoes made of thermostatic fabric and put them on the dogs.

The water was gone, so the two of them cleaned up the trash in the stairwell as they walked down to the first floor and opened the door to their apartment building. Xu Lin was wearing a thermal undershirt, a sun-protective suit over it, and a hat, gloves, and a mask, completely covered up. Zhou Pin was also ordered by Xu Lin to wear the same thing.

Because of the temperature-regulating clothing, the temperature felt okay. The two walked towards the entrance of the community. The original asphalt road was no longer visible; it was covered in mud and garbage, so they could only walk by feel.

After experiencing extreme cold and heat, the exterior walls of the houses in the community have cracked. We need to hurry to the base, as the houses in the community are now all dangerous and at risk at any time.

The two decided to go to the port. They had only collected containers from the water, but there were still quite a few underwater containers, and it would be a waste not to collect them.

After walking for an hour, basically away from the residential area, Xu Lin took out an off-road vehicle from her spatial storage, which she had acquired at the port, and could now drive it back openly.

Driving was much faster, and we arrived at the port in no time. Perhaps because the environment had changed, the two little ones had long forgotten that it was here that Xu Lin had taken them in before, and just like their first time there, they were inspecting the containers.

The two had a clear division of labor this time: Zhou Pin opened the boxes while Xu Lin collected the supplies. They worked much better together than the first time they came.

The first box was opened, and it stank horribly. He quickly closed it again. It contained some imported meat, all of which had gone bad. Zhou Pin hurriedly closed the door, feeling it was such a waste.

The second and third boxes all smelled bad. Xu Lin was a little disappointed and sat on a big rock next to her. Zhou Pin continued to open boxes, and several more boxes in a row smelled bad.

"Linlin."

Xu Lin quickly stood up and ran over. She saw that the room was full of medical equipment. Without even looking at what was inside, she quickly put it away. The quality of German equipment shouldn't be defeated by the extreme cold.

With her newfound find, Xu Lin felt motivated and followed Zhou Pin to open the boxes. Good fortune finally began to smile upon them. The two opened two boxes of N95 masks, two boxes of protective suits, a box of jewelry, a box of electronics, a box of imported snacks, a box of daily necessities, two boxes of medicine, dozens of cars, three boxes of gasoline, and several other items. Later, Xu Lin stopped scrutinizing the contents; as long as the items hadn't spoiled, she'd accept the boxes along with the contents.

They worked until 5 a.m., and as dawn approached, the two decided to go back. There were only a few containers left; they would leave them to their fellow countrymen.
