Chapter 22
In Order to Survive, I Can Only Better Myself
Du Yue went to the kitchen and took out the ice that had been made from the ice maker and put them into her interspace. She also refilled the water for the ice maker. After everything was done, she went to the bedroom.
Du Yue had already turned on the four air-conditioning fans before she took a shower. They had been turned on for more than 10 minutes now, and the temperature in the originally stuffy bedroom had dropped quite a bit.
Du Yue took out her tablet and found a comedy variety show. She watched it while eating skewers. She had already prepared a glass of iced Coke that was the perfect drink to go with skewers. Now that she had a bite of the skewers and a sip of the iced Coke, Du Yue’s slightly hot body cooled down a lot.
Having a good supper in such hot weather, Du Yue suddenly felt that her difficult life had become less terrible. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺
She ate while watching the show. After more than an hour, the variety show ended. She had just finished eating and started to clean up the table.
She tied the garbage bag tightly and kept it in her interspace. Du Yue had placed a large trash can in a corner of the interspace. When it was inconvenient for her to go out and throw the trash, she would throw the trash into the trash can first. When she went out for a walk again, she would take the trash bag out and dispose of it properly.
Nowadays, she would go out for a walk every day after the power outage. Only solar-powered street lights were used in the community, so no one would notice what was in her garbage bag due to the lack of light. She did not have to worry about being caught by the surveillance cameras either.
After clicking out of the variety show, Du Yue found a reality show about survival in the wilderness to watch.
She watched reality TV shows about survival in the wild almost every day in order to learn more about survival skills in the wild. Although she had experienced the last doomsday, she still felt that there was no harm in learning more survival skills.
After studying for more than two hours, Du Yue turned off the tablet, but she still felt unsatisfied. She found the dumbbells and other equipment she had prepared and began to do strength training.
The district Du Yue lived in was one of the best in the city. Naturally, the cost to stay here was also very high.
The district was not only located in the inner ring of the city center, but it was also top-notch in terms of both greenery and property management. The most important thing was that the quality of the houses was also worth the money, not to mention the sound insulation.
Even if she were to invite more than a dozen people home to have a party on a whim, she did not have to worry about the next-door neighbors complaining.
To survive in the apocalypse, one had to be healthy and strong enough.
In her previous life, Du Yue would take time out of her schedule to train her body even though the living conditions in the apocalypse were very difficult. Her life in this life was many times more comfortable than her previous life. Naturally, Du Yue would train even harder.
Surviving in the apocalypse was like sailing against the current. If one did not advance, one would fall back. If one chose to be a couch potato that lay at home all day, one would only be at the mercy of others.
Du Yue trained until the sky outside gradually brightened and the dazzling light shone into every corner of the room. It was time for the water supply to return. Du Yue stopped what she was doing and went to the window to draw the curtains.
When her breathing had steadied, Du Yue went to the bathroom to take a cold shower. She then had a simple meal and was only half-full before she went back to her bedroom to sleep.
When she woke up, it was already past five in the afternoon. The first thing Du Yue did when she opened her eyes was to look for her phone and open Weibo.
As soon as she entered Weibo’s home page, Du Yue noticed a post on the hot search. [Oh my God, my house is occupied by flies!]
There were not many words in the post, so Du Yue had a rough idea after a simple glance. However, the nine accompanying photos that could not be ignored made Du Yue’s eyebrows scrunch up together unconsciously.
There were nine photos, each of which was filled with flies. Swarms of flies filled every corner of the poster’s house, making one’s scalp tingle.
The large green-headed flies appeared on the screen, flapping their wings and rampaging. The sight was enough to make one hurl.
According to the poster’s description, he did not take out the garbage because the temperature was too high yesterday. This morning, he was woken up by a buzzing sound followed by vibrations.
When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was green-headed flies flying all over the house.
The poster said that the flies were not afraid of him at all and kept flying toward his face, which scared him so much that he hid under the blanket and did not dare to show his head.
However, Du Yue felt that he must have mustered up the courage to stick his head out of the blanket in the end. Otherwise, he would not have been able to post these nine photos.
At this thought, Du Yue suddenly thought of a popular saying on the internet—’Don’t panic when you encounter an incident. Before all else, pick up your phone and post it on your Moments.’
