Chapter 9: All the money is gone!!!



Jiang Zhi was still refreshed even after practicing until midnight. She went downstairs to the underground parking garage.

The garage is underground, which allows it to better withstand extreme heat, provided there are no geological disasters or floods.

Jiang Zhi turned on all the lights in the garage and carefully inspected it, finding that the garage was more suitable for living than her own room on the second floor.

She stored all the cars in the space, next to the RV, and the underground garage was opened.

After cleaning, Jiang Zhi took out waterproof paint and applied a layer to the underground garage.

After finishing all that, it was almost dawn. Jiang Zhi took the elevator upstairs and took a bath. Wrapping her wet hair in a soft towel, Jiang Zhi took a plate of tomato beef brisket and a large portion of rice from the refrigerator and put them in the microwave to heat up.

My hair is dry, and the microwave is ready.

She originally had long, glossy black hair, but in the apocalypse, long hair was inconvenient, so she cut it into a shoulder-length bob. She didn't go for a buzz cut for convenience, after all, she also had a desire to look good.

A large bowl of tomato and beef brisket, paired with tangy and spicy pickles, made Jiang Zhi finish a whole bowl of rice, but she still wanted more.

However, while the mind may crave food, the stomach cannot hold that much.

She opened a bag of spicy snacks and ate them while watching TV.

When she previously hired people to collect e-book resources on the market, she also collected video resources from more than fifty high-capacity USB drives.

All kinds of TV series, movies, and documentaries—if Jiang Zhi can think of it, there's nothing she can't download by paying money.

After finishing the spicy snack, Jiang Zhi turned the TV volume up to the maximum and started working.

She had been so lonely all these years, and the noise from the TV series made her feel less lonely.

There is an 800L water tank on the top floor of the villa. She needs to clean the water tank and connect it to the tap water.

If only she had magic, but unfortunately the spells she practices now only make her stronger and more heat-resistant.

It's like when the temperature reaches a high of 39 degrees Celsius in the afternoon, she walks outside and doesn't feel particularly hot; she's just sunbathing and doesn't sweat at all.

After cleaning the water tank, Jiang Zhi connected it to tap water.

She still couldn't stay idle and always wanted to find something to do. This was a consequence of ten years in the apocalypse; during the apocalypse, she was either looking for food or on her way to find food.

He narrowly escaped death at the hands of mutated animals and his own kind on several occasions.

There was no rest for a moment; he even slept with a kitchen knife in his hand, never daring to relax.

Now, given a second chance, before the apocalypse even begins, her old problems have resurfaced.

After filling the water tank, Jiang Zhi forced herself to lie down in her room. Since there was still internet access, she ate snacks and scrolled through her phone.

Suddenly, a post caught her attention.

"At the end of May, the temperature in Jiangcheng rose to nearly 40 degrees Celsius, which was extremely alarming. At this rate, it will probably break the 50 mark in June, July and August. Everyone should think of ways to survive in such hot weather! I have already resigned and gone back to the countryside to dig a cellar and stock up on supplies."

This post has been flooded with comments from post-apocalyptic survival enthusiasts. They say that extreme heat inevitably leads to torrential rain, and some people have prepared safety capsules so they can survive in the event of floods or earthquakes.

Some people have also stockpiled a lot of strategic materials, such as compressed biscuits and bottled water, which are stored in their basements.

Some people even built a steel-framed secret room in their houses.

As Jiang Zhi scrolled through these comments, she didn't laugh at some people for their naive ideas. Those who were prepared certainly had a greater chance of survival than those who encountered natural disasters without warning.

It turns out that someone had already sensed the impending disaster; she was the naive one back then.

But where did the disaster originate? When did it begin to accumulate, and when did it suddenly erupt?

Why do those animals mutate?

Why did humans evolve various abilities?

Is it related to genes, or to changes in the external environment?

Could it be aliens?

There are just too many mysteries surrounding Jiang Zhi.

She didn't believe the country hadn't noticed beforehand. She had lived her previous life in a daze and never suspected that five months after the extreme heat, the country had already established a well-functioning Hope Base.

Upon closer examination, it's one thing that the country possesses immense power, but another is that everything has already been detected, only concealed and never made public.

What is the connection between this extreme heat that killed billions of people on Earth and the freezing cold that slaughtered billions more? Do the higher-ups know?

Does each cycle of life on Earth kill off all previous life forms? Why does Earth experience cycles of reincarnation?

The piece of paper in the space didn't provide an answer either.

There once existed incredibly powerful humans who could fly and burrow underground, but they were all slaughtered.

What if we have to try again and still can't escape it?

Jiang Zhi suddenly felt a cold sweat.

If there's really no way to escape it, then all you can do is enjoy this brief but exciting time.

With this in mind, Jiang Zhi decided to lie down.

Give up.

But... that's probably difficult.

Days passed, and Jiang Zhi watched the temperature on the wall steadily rise. On June 7th, the temperature in Jiangcheng exceeded 43 degrees Celsius, and Jiang Zhi also retrieved the last batch of gold.

Aside from gold, she bought everything she saw—food, clothes, household items—that she liked, and bought a whole bunch of supplies, which is how she spent the 300 million.

She still has 430,000 yuan left in her card.

The temperature was exactly 43 degrees Celsius.

43 degrees Celsius is still within the range that people can tolerate and will not be fatal.

However, many elderly people could not withstand this unusual June heat and passed away after struggling for a short time.

In the owners' group of Jiangzhi Villa Community, three families have reported the passing of elderly members, and their bodies were taken away for cremation early this morning.
