Chapter 14: Continued High Temperature
The temperature started to rise gradually as soon as June began. Contrary to the relatively mild temperature in June in previous years, it rarely exceeded 30 degrees.
Shuxin and Yanmo also successfully moved into their new home which had already been renovated. The two of them were almost completely free now, with only the last batch of supplies left to collect.
When I had some free time to sort out the supplies, I found that the space had most of the supplies, except for entertainment.
How can this be possible? Life in the last days is already hard enough. We must have enough spiritual food and entertainment to relax our body and mind. Otherwise, after living like this for many years, people will become perverts!
Shuxin took action as soon as she thought of it. She immediately ordered several thousand large-capacity memory cards on her mobile phone, and then asked her boyfriend to help her write a program to perfectly solve the problem of downloading movies, TV dramas, novels and variety shows.
The thigh that I hold is basically a must-have at home. It feels like there is nothing that my boyfriend won’t do.
There are other games that can be played without an internet connection, and Shuxin bought quite a few of them.
Shu Xin had discussed the impending doomsday with Yan Mo three months ago, and finally decided to reveal some information to the country through the Internet, which would not expose their identities but also alert the country.
In the face of natural disasters, everyone's power is insignificant. If the country could know in advance and make certain preparations, perhaps more people could survive.
The more people who survive, the greater the hope of ending the apocalypse.
The most serious natural disasters in the early stages of the end of the world destroyed the water and food that humans depend on for survival. Floods, freezing, and high temperatures quickly depleted humans' survival resources.
After the outbreak of the zombie virus, the mutations of animals and plants have wantonly invaded human settlements and squeezed out human living space, and the soil that can grow normal plants is even rarer.
Faced with harsh living conditions, food, which was common in peacetime, has become a precious resource in the end times, and only those with sufficient strength can obtain the few resources.
The humans at the bottom who don't have special powers can only rely on eating the corpses of various insects or the food that tastes like snot developed by the research institute.
This is the cruel end of the world!
In mid-June, the temperature in City A had reached 38 degrees Celsius, and the national average temperature reached 40 degrees Celsius. The hot searches on Weibo every day were about how many delivery people and courier workers had collapsed on the roadside due to heat stroke across the country.
People were complaining about the high temperature on the Internet. Ye Yu'an recognized his rich father whom he had not recognized in his previous life and got a considerable sum of money to buy supplies.
After being reborn, she would never give her complete trust to anyone except herself.
She was originally worried about where to store the items she bought safely. One day, she passed by an antique stall on the street and bought a bracelet. There was a space as big as five basketball courts inside, which just solved her urgent problem.
If Shuxin knew that the heroine lost her space and could get another space, she would definitely be upset because she felt the disparity in the world.
Coincidentally, after Ye Yu'an was reborn, he also spent money to buy a top-floor house in the community where Shu Xin and Yan Mo lived, but the two buildings happened to be at the two ends of the community.
If there are no special circumstances, there is almost no possibility of meeting.
Yan Mo privately made an appointment with Xiangwen and Qimai to meet at the place where they often met.
"Tsk, how come you, such a busy man, have time to come to us today?" Bo Xiangwen leaned back on the sofa, looking so lazy that he seemed to have no bones.
"I have something to tell you today. What I am about to say may overturn your perceptions. You'd better be prepared."
However, Yan Mo did not mock Xiangwen as usual, but went straight to the point.
The abnormal behavior and the vague meaning in the words made Xiangwen and Makimai look frightened. They leaned forward slightly on the sofa and sat up straight.
"Is it related to your large-scale purchase of arms during this period?" Mu Qimai has been helping Yan Mo handle the business in secret, and knows more about Yan Mo's recent actions than Mu Xiangwen.
"Well, this is just part of the preparations I've been making recently. You must have noticed that the weather this year is abnormal. As early as the end of June or the beginning of July at the latest, there will be large-scale heavy rainfall across the country, and this rain will last for three months."
"Three months of heavy rain is not the end, it is the beginning, the beginning of the end of the world."
The expressions on Fu Xiangwen and Makimai's faces became colorful. If they didn't know that the person in front of them would never do something without a purpose, they would even suspect that the other party was playing a trick on them.
Deathly silence spread in the room. No one said a word. Yan Mo waited quietly for them to digest the news themselves.
"So should we prepare now and stock up on food, water, gasoline and other supplies in advance?"
Makimai's ability to accept things was obviously better than that of Niu Xiangwen, and he was the first to react.
"The main reason I came here today is to ask you, if that time really comes, are you still willing to follow me?"
Yan Mo looked into the eyes of his two good brothers and asked this question seriously.
"Brother Mo, I will definitely follow you. You gave me this life, and I will follow you for the rest of my life!"
As soon as Yan Mo finished speaking, Mu Qimai expressed his loyalty without hesitation, and Fu Xiangwen was not willing to be left behind.
"Tsk, what are you talking about? Do you want to abandon the two of us and go solo? I will rely on you even if I have to."
"As for your family...what are your plans?" Mu Qimai hesitated before speaking.
"Alas, you don't know my stall yet. With a stepmother, there is also a stepfather. Over the years, I have long given up hope for that family. When the time comes, sending them some supplies anonymously will be my last act of filial piety."
Talking about the mess at his stall, the usually carefree Xiangwen also had a wry smile on his face. Every family has its own problems!
"Since you have all decided to follow me, you can just move in with us when the time comes. Living together, we can all take care of each other."
Yan Mo told them about his plan. Neither Xiangwen nor Mu Qimai objected. They were thinking about buying something to take with them.
Even though Yan Mo must have prepared their things in advance before letting them live there, they couldn't just move in without any preparations.
Before leaving, Yan Mo asked the two to exchange some gold and cash to keep on hand, and not to buy food in large quantities.
With Yan Mo's previous reminder, the country has begun to consciously control the direction of food in the market. Large-scale purchases of supplies during this period will easily be noticed, so it is better to keep a low profile.
