Chapter 11 The natural disaster came early
"The truck exploded at the warehouse entrance just now. Fortunately, the driver ran away quickly and no one was injured. It should be that the truck was exposed to the sun when unloading and caused spontaneous combustion."
Mu Ci's heart was in turmoil. This was the first time he faced the end of the world, and it was far more cruel than what he had heard before.
After hearing this, Shi Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat. Has the vehicle already caught fire at this time?
"How could it happen so soon? Last time in my dream, this kind of thing didn't happen until after the 16th. What's going on?"
"No matter what the reason, we must prepare for the worst. The supplies in the warehouse are all there. Let's go and collect the things first. Try to stay at home as much as possible these few days." Mu Ci replied.
The two quickly came to the warehouse, which was filled with various supplies. Shi Jiaojiao was shocked. In just a few days, Mu Ci had stockpiled so many things.
The Jinwu warehouse is currently 210 square meters, plus the room is 80 square meters. It is impossible to store so many supplies at one time. The two can only transfer the supplies that are not easy to spoil to the large floor, and upgrade the Jinwu that they had not taken care of last night.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading. Currently the Golden House is level 4.
Reward 1: Warehouse increased by 50 cubic meters (currently 260 cubic meters)
2: Add a kitchen (fully decorated).
3: The time to enter the Golden House is increased by 1 hour (currently 2 hours)
Upgrade tasks:
1: Cumulative running of 50 kilometers. 】
The two men did not stay in the gold house for long. It took them two trips to take away all the supplies in the warehouse.
Shi Jiaojiao looked at the space that was filled to the brim, and felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart. At the same time, it also dispelled some of her worries and fears about the future.
After coming out of the warehouse, Mu Ci took Shi Jiaojiao to the ice storage that they had rented in advance.
The seafood industry in City S is quite developed. There are quite a few ice storages of this kind in the seafood transshipment market. The amount of ice coming in and out is relatively large, and they are not conspicuous in the middle.
Mu Ci hired a few workers to load the ice into a freight ice truck. He drove the car to a secluded place, and Shi Jiaojiao put the ice into the space.
After two or three trips in one night, there were three tons of ice in the space.
The next day, the two of them went their separate ways and withdrew the money from the bank cards.
The total amount left on the two cards was more than 210,000 yuan, so I took out 200,000 yuan and kept it for future use.
At the same time, he returned the rented car and took away the Hummer that Mu Ci had purchased and modified.
After returning home, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci did a final inventory of the supplies together.
The warehouse and rooms of the Jinwu were packed full, and except for the two bedrooms, the kitchen and bathroom of the large flat were still arranged normally, the rest of the place was filled with supplies.
Everything is ready, and there are still 5 days until doomsday.
Shi Jiaojiao slept in late the next day, which was a rare occasion.
After breakfast, the two opened the food delivery app and placed orders frantically.
On TV, on mobile phones, all kinds of news are reporting high temperature warnings. The government has also sent warning text messages to the public through operators, calling on everyone to take precautions against heatstroke and how to provide first aid in the event of heat stroke.
But what is more terrifying than the high temperature is a penniless pocket. Although it is hot now, it has been hovering around 44℃. No one takes it seriously, and restaurant riders are accepting orders as usual.
Spicy crayfish, pork rib noodles, sushi, stir-fried dishes, I bought a lot of everything I saw.
There are also various braised foods, duck products, barbecue, and various milk teas. I try to spend all the savings in the card before the 15th.
The takeouts were delivered one after another. Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci were busy wiping the lunch boxes clean and sorting them out.
With the efforts of the two over the past few days, they successfully used up all the money in the bank card.
Shi Jiaojiao also uses her spare time to plug the USB drive into the computer and start downloading various TV series, movies, and variety shows. This is her spiritual food for the rest of her life.
The novel is directly packaged and downloaded, and you can read it until the end of time.
In addition to these, she also downloaded many professional books, about growing vegetables, building houses, making soap and candles. As long as she could think of it, she downloaded it all and stored them in categories, as she never knew they might come in handy someday.
When it's cool at night, Mu Ci will turn off the air conditioner. Staying in an air-conditioned room all the time is bad for your health, but it also allows your body to adapt to the outside temperature more quickly.
At the same time, Shi Jiaojiao did not forget to exercise. She has accumulated 20 kilometers of new tasks in the Jinwu in the past few days.
Shi Jiaojiao's body in this life has not experienced the end of the world, so her endurance and strength cannot be compared with those in her previous life. Fortunately, she still remembers the human body structure diagram clearly. As for the rest, she has returned it to the school long ago.
Although my strength is not great now, but combined with my skills, I can achieve unexpected results.
In addition to running, Mu Ci also taught her Sanda and self-defense.
Mu Ci learned these skills from retired military personnel. After being in a coma for two years, he was able to familiarize himself with the skills as quickly as possible while practicing with Shi Jiaojiao.
What surprised Shi Jiaojiao the most was that Mu Ci also prepared a Tang sword for her. The blade was shining with cold light, and with one strike, it could easily cut off several heads.
Touching the knife, she couldn't help but think of her previous life. At that time, she had only a kitchen knife with cuts all over it. When she chopped someone, she had to use a lot of strength and chop several times before she was successful.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the sparring ended. Shi Jiaojiao dragged her tired body to the bed. She opened her mobile phone and saw Wang Jia's WeChat, complaining that her father was crazy because of the heat and donated a lot of money like crazy.
Shi Jiaojiao smiled. She had seen a lot of news recently that many bigwigs had donated money to support the space industry. This was the country integrating resources, and everything was different.
In the previous life, no one knew that the end of the world had come, and everyone naively believed that after the extreme heat passed, everything would return to normal.
But when the country began to take action, it was too late, and countless malicious intentions were breeding in various regions.
November 15, 2023.
The last day before the end of the world.
8 o'clock in the morning.
Shi Jiaojiao was awakened by the heat. She touched her forehead, which was covered in sweat, and her heart was pounding.
She lifted a corner of the curtain, and the dazzling light rushed in, making it impossible to open her eyes.
Shi Jiaojiao quickly lowered the curtains, but she felt an itch on her arms. In just a short while, her arms were sunburned.
The room temperature meter hanging on the wall showed that the temperature had reached 38℃!
It's only 8 o'clock in the morning, how is this possible!
All the rooms in this house are equipped with a layer of thermal insulation cotton, and even the windows have the best heat insulation. The temperature difference between inside and outside the house can basically reach 10℃.
But the temperature in the room is already 38 degrees Celsius, and outside...
Shi Jiaojiao tremblingly took out the thermometer and put it out of the window. Five minutes later, she brought it in and saw that it was 49 degrees Celsius.
Looking at the thermometer, Shi Jiaojiao's hair stood up.
Today is only November 15th!
She remembered it clearly. In her previous life, the temperature suddenly rose at around 2 a.m. on the 16th.
Because it was the middle of the night, many people died in their sleep the next day and never woke up.
But now, the extreme heat has come earlier?
What about the others? Will they still follow her memory?
