Chapter 8: Brainless Waiting for the Apocalypse



By the time everything was finished, it wasn't even dark yet.

Lin Yue has been busy lately, and suddenly having free time is a bit hard to adjust to.

Looking at the empty living room, I didn't know what to do.

She had been so confident before that she was going to exchange all her money for supplies, but now she was a little unsure. She didn't know if she was doing the right thing.

She was absolutely certain that she was not a reincarnated person. She exchanged all her assets for supplies, leaving only a ten-meter space around the spiritual spring water in her storage space.

She did all these things based on just a dream, and then mindlessly waited for the apocalypse to arrive. If others knew about this, they would just say she was crazy and that her brain had been crushed in a door.

Lin Yue hugged her legs tightly and buried her head in them.

If only my parents were still alive, then they could give me some advice.

She misses them!

...

June 15th.

The sun rose early, the weather was hot, and there was no snow; it didn't look like the end of the world was coming at all.

After a night of reflection, Lin Yue regained her composure.

After performing a set of punches, I drove my small truck out, picked up the extra steamed buns and fried dough sticks from yesterday, found a place to store the truck in my spatial storage, and then took a taxi back.

Next, she drove her Volkswagen out and put it away, stacking it on the pickup truck. Then she took a taxi back and started staying home.

Although she doesn't like watching dramas, she still bought several iPads and downloaded a lot of dramas onto them. Her power banks are fully charged. She also bought physical books and downloaded a lot of novels, especially those about the apocalypse.

Lin Yue read a novel, ate sunflower seeds, and laughed when she came across the funny parts. Her laughter echoed in the empty living room.

After lunch, I took a nap. When I woke up at 3 p.m., the messages in the community's owners' group chat had already reached 99+ and were still being updated frantically.

Lin Yue opened the group chat, and the first message she saw was: "It must be that person on the tenth floor of Unit 2, Building 10 did something outrageous that caused the snow to fall in June. Someone has been wronged!"

Lin Yue scoffed upon seeing this.

She must have had her brain crushed in a door, otherwise how could she say such a thing? If she had the ability to make snow fall in June, the first person to be caught would definitely be turned into an ice pop.

Lin Yue ignored the person, rewound the message, and went to the window to stand and draw back the curtains.

It turned out that shortly after she took her afternoon nap, it started to snow lightly, but because it was light and the weather was hot, it didn't affect the temperature much.

This scene matches the one in my dream. If what happened in the dream is true, then tonight at midnight, the temperature will plummet to minus twenty degrees Celsius, and it will start snowing heavily. Tomorrow morning, the whole world will be covered in snow.

Lin Yue quickly read through the messages in the owners' group chat. There was nothing useful. The messages were all asking why it suddenly snowed, and then some people were using the snow to insult her. The old woman on the eighth floor was the one who was the most aggressive.

As far as the eye can see outside the window, it is indeed snowing, a few sparse flakes that melt before they even reach the ground.

Looking down from the tenth floor, the floor below was dry; the snowmelt evaporated as soon as it hit the ground.

Lin Yue opened various social media apps one by one, and the apps were flooded with discussions about today's snow.

However, the comments inside were much more normal, although there were some rambling and superstitious ones, but they were in the minority.

Some people say that the snow was caused by the sudden arrival of cold air due to the influence of a typhoon in the coastal area, but the cold air did not move downwards, so they could not feel it.

This statement was met with widespread approval.

A typhoon has indeed made landfall recently, causing severe damage to coastal areas.

Some say that in ancient times, Dou E was wronged and snow fell in June. Perhaps now someone has suffered a great injustice, which is why it snows in June. When the injustice is over, it will naturally stop snowing.

Many people agree with this view.

Of course, some people have also jumped out and said that the end of the world is coming, and today's weather is just a warning for everyone to stock up on supplies so that they won't be able to go out later.

Once the doomsday theory was mentioned, the number of people discussing it immediately reached hundreds of thousands. Some agreed, while others said that the poster was just trying to get attention and would say anything.

The situation took an increasingly awful turn, and finally the authorities spoke out.

The official statement said that the atmosphere encountered strong cold air convection, which caused the temporary weather abnormality, and asked everyone not to believe or spread rumors.

When the authorities came out to refute the rumors, some people believed them, and some people didn't.

Because most people are not afraid of the unexpected, but they are afraid of the worst-case scenario. For example, in their neighborhood, many people who don't go to work start to rush to buy food and daily necessities.

Lin Yue tidied herself up, thought about it, and decided to follow the crowd and go shopping.

She has a lot of things in her space, but she can't let people know she has a space. If she doesn't buy anything and can still live well, people will definitely become suspicious.

At least for the first few months, she can't arouse suspicion. Who knows what will happen later? As long as she has the ability, even if she hoards a whole house full of things, who can say anything?

After buying the door, Lin Yue still had 300,000 yuan in savings. She took a taxi outside and then found a place to park her car.

Although there are many surveillance cameras in the city, there are still many blind spots.

I drove to the largest supermarket, which was packed with people. Some women were even fighting over a bunch of vegetables.

Lin Yue didn't rush to grab the wilted vegetables. Instead, she went to the bean section and bought up all the beans in the supermarket. She hadn't bought any beans before, but now she was buying some so that she might be able to make tofu sometime in the future. She had two blenders in her space.

After buying the beans, Lin Yue suddenly remembered that she hadn't bought any seeds.

The black soil inside the space should be able to grow things. Although there isn't much space left now, once some of it is used up, we can eventually free up space to grow vegetables.

After buying the beans, Lin Yue immediately drove to the largest farmers' market and cleared out all the seed stalls, buying up all kinds of seeds.

Back in the apartment complex, Lin Yue carried her belongings upstairs one trip after another. Then, before it got dark, she went to a jewelry store and exchanged all her money for gold.

However, because she didn't have much money, after buying beans and vegetable seeds, she only had 300,000 yuan left, which she used to buy six gold bars weighing 116.64 grams each.

Regardless of whether there will be an apocalypse tomorrow, I'll stock up on her if I have her in the future. If I don't have her, I'll sell the gold. I definitely won't leave myself penniless.

On the evening of June 15, as people returned home from work, the internet erupted in unprecedented discussion about the snowfall that day.

Although the snow wasn't heavy, it's been falling non-stop, almost crashing major social media platforms. Fortunately, the technical staff have been incredibly efficient.

Lin Yue wasn't worried about what was happening outside. She simply took out the quilt she had prepared and piled various warm clothes on the bed. Even though it was hot, she made sure to put thick blankets on the bed. Then she took out the heater, plugged it in, and finally went to sleep.
