I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse

Past And Present

The high temperatures, coupled with the lack of rain, caused crops and farm animals to start dying in large numbers. Later on, people started dropping dead from heat strokes. When that happened, the city descended into a state of panic, and everyone began to stock up on supplies frantically. It was also at that time that the rumors of the apocalypse began to ferment and spread.

In her previous life, Du Yue had tried joining the crowd to stock up on supplies. Unfortunately, she had started too late. By that time, the merchants themselves were no longer willing to sell their goods, choosing instead to keep what they had for themselves.

Only the large chain stores continued selling supplies, but there were countless people fighting for their supplies, so what she had managed to get her hands on was limited at best.

Moreover, because she lived alone and young, she was often targeted by those who greedily eyed her scant supplies.

Fortunately, Du Yue had been sent to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts since she was three years old. Her combat prowess allowed her to emerge safely from encounters with these unsavory individuals.

With that in mind, Du Yue wrote down the first item in the document with her digital pen.

She needed a weapon.

Although Du Yue was quite skilled, fighting was always a risky affair, and a good weapon would only increase her chances of survival.

In addition to weapons, clothing, food, shelter, and transportation were also of utmost importance.

Du Yue’s hand moved quickly as more and more words appeared on the document.

After she wrote down everything she had thought of, she put the tablet into her backpack.

There were too many things to remember so, in order to avoid leaving out something important, she had to write everything down and then purchase them one by one according to the document.

Du Yue changed into a set of clothes that made it easier for her to move around. She tied her long, straight black hair into a neat ponytail, grabbed her phone and keys, and left the house without stopping.

She took the elevator to the basement parking lot, took out her car key, and pressed the unlock button. Based on the sound of the car unlocking, she successfully found her car.

It had been such a long time, so Du Yue had long forgotten where her parking space was.

Du Yue’s parents were poor when they got married but, thanks to their ingenuity and hard work, they eventually founded their own businesses in the city and accumulated wealth. When Du Yue was born, the people around her jokingly said that she was born with a golden spoon instead of a silver spoon.

However, a nail that sticks out gets hammered. When Du Yue was two years old, she was kidnapped by robbers. Her parents did everything they could before finally managing to rescue her. About a year after she returned home, the three-year-old Du Yue was sent to the Shaolin Temple by her parents and began to learn martial arts there.

Her parents were worried that she would not be able to keep up with the progress of her peers academically, so they hired teachers of various disciplines to stay with Du Yue in the Shaolin Temple and teach her.

In those few years, Du Yue’s lifestyle and daily routine remained the same. Other than sleeping and eating, she spent all her time practicing martial arts and studying. She often cried at night due to how strenuous the workload was, and how much she missed home and her parents..

However, when the apocalypse arrived, Du Yue became grateful for this experience, as it helped her to overcome many obstacles and escape danger with her life intact. Without her martial arts, she would have died during the early stages of the apocalypse.

Du Yue’s parents had passed away in a plane crash last year. They were the only children in the family, and their parents had also passed away some years before that.

Du Yue was the only child left in the Du family after her parents passed away.

After Du Yue despondently settled her parents’ funeral, she sold the company her parents had left behind without much hesitation. She had not inherited her parents’ business acumen. Therefore, even while her parents were still alive, the three of them had discussed that if Du Yue did not want to run the company after her parents retired, they would sell it.

The money they obtained from selling the company would be enough for Du Yue to live the rest of her life in luxury.

Her parents’ company had been sold for 3 billion. If the world had not changed, Du Yue would never have been able to finish spending all this money in her lifetime.

However, things did not go as planned, and the apocalypse suddenly arrived and caught everyone off guard.𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
