I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse

The Weasel’s Plea for Mercy

Moreover, the sky was getting brighter and the sun was about to rise. Once the sun was out, the temperature outside would suddenly rise to more than 60 degrees. Even if Chen Hua really called the police, the police would not go out under the hot sun to handle such a small matter.

Perhaps it was because of Du Yue’s warning or advice, Chen Hua dispelled the idea of calling the police in the end.

Chen Hua’s eyes were red, and tears were hanging from the corners of her eyes. She looked very pitiful, and her tone suddenly became much gentler.

“I’m sorry! It’s all our fault! I beg you to be magnanimous and let us go! We promise we won’t do it again!”

Du Yue looked at her, her eyes turning deep and dark. There was a hint of a smile at the corner of her lips. “You promise that you won’t do it again? Really?”

As Du Yue questioned her, she stomped on Liu Ting’s chest with force. Liu Ting felt a piercing pain in his chest. He could not control his body and started to twitch. His breathing gradually became weaker.

Chen Hua looked on in fear. Her tears fell to the ground, and she did not dare to hesitate anymore. “Truly! I’m not lying to you. We won’t ever do it again!”

Du Yue nodded her head in satisfaction. She then retracted her foot from Liu Ting’s chest. “Since you’ve admitted your mistake so generously, I’ll be magnanimous and let you off this time. However, you’ll have to remember your promise today. If the same thing happens again...”

After saying that, Du Yue turned around and walked toward her house without looking back. Even after Du Yue entered the house and closed the door, not a single sound could be heard from the corridor outside.

Of course, Du Yue would not let them off so easily. However, they were currently in a crowded neighborhood, so it was not a suitable place to make a move.

However, Du Yue knew very well that no matter how much Chen Hua cried in front of her and changed for the better, that girl would still come back to take revenge on her without any remorse.

The next time Chen Hua and Liu Ting came up with a new plan, they would definitely choose a place outside of the neighborhood to attack her.

Of course, Du Yue would not give them the chance to do so.

A week flew by. Before Du Yue could wait for Chen Hua to leave the house, she found out from the community group that the water supply would be stopped completely from today onward.

The high temperature that had persisted for two months had caused countless fires of various sizes. Although the defense and control department had been very careful and tried their best to work overtime to fix things, there were too many old parts in the city’s power lines. It was impossible to repair all of them.

At noon, the power room of the water treatment plant also caught fire. When the fire broke out, most people were asleep, so no one noticed the fire.

By the time someone discovered it, the entire power room had been completely burned down, and even the surrounding factories were affected.

Du Yue looked at the photos of the fire that were circulating on the internet. Even though she had already experienced surviving an apocalypse before, she still felt that the scene was shocking.

The water treatment plant was burned down, and the city was no longer able to provide water. The entire city’s water system was in a state of paralysis.

In such hot weather, water was more important and scarcer than food. It was fine if people went hungry for a few days, but their bodies would definitely not be able to take it if they did not drink water for a long time. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

Even though everyone had some water left in their homes, there was a limit to how much water they could store. How long could they last

In the community’s group chat, messages discussing how to buy water were constantly flooding the screen.

After some discussion, they decided to go out and buy water after the sun set. Recently, society had become more and more chaotic, and people would often be robbed when they went out to buy supplies.

Now, almost no one dared to go out alone. Every time, they would go out with several people when they wanted to buy things.

The more people there were, the less likely they would be robbed.

Du Yue exited WeChat. After changing her clothes, she picked up her bag and was about to go out. As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Chen Hua and Liu Ting. The two of them had just pushed the door open and were shocked by Du Yue’s sudden appearance. They subconsciously took a few steps back.

Du Yue did not even bother to spare them a glance. She walked straight to the stairs without looking back.

Looking in the direction that Du Yue had left, Chen Hua and Liu Ting whispered a few words to each other and immediately followed.
