I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse

Water Shortage in the Entire City

This sudden change happened in less than a minute. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

Chen Hua was standing not far away, looking at the scene in front of her in disbelief. She subconsciously wanted to call for help, but she could not make a sound.

Du Yue approached Chen Hua unhurriedly, scaring Chen Hua so much that she retreated and fell into the smelly ditch beside her.

“Y-Y-You, get lost! Don’t come near me!

“I’m sorry, I was wrong. Please let me go. I beg you. I know what I did wrong now!

“It’s him. He wasn’t happy and wanted to take revenge on you. I was only threatened and lured by him. I didn’t want to do this, really! You have to believe me!”

Du Yue heard Chen Hua’s incoherent words, but she did not care. This was because in her eyes, Chen Hua had already become a corpse.

Just as Chen Hua struggled to get up from the smelly ditch and was about to hug Du Yue’s leg to continue begging for mercy, the dagger in Du Yue’s hand gently slid across Chen Hua’s neck.

The cold glint of the dagger instantly drew a thin line, and Chen Hua’s blood spurted out along the thin line.

Without even looking at Chen Hua, Du Yue gave her a fierce kick, sending her flying into the smelly ditch at the side.

After doing this, she turned around and left without looking back.

There was an old saying among the people that Du Yue felt was appropriate to use on Chen Hua and Liu Ting. It was ‘a leopard can’t change its spots.’

It did not matter how pained and regretful Chen Hua acted in front of her. As long as Du Yue was soft-hearted and forgave Chen Hua, she would definitely wait for another opportunity to take revenge.

Only by becoming a corpse would Chen Hua be completely harmless.

As Du Yue left, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and a bright moon appeared.

The faint moonlight fell on Du Yue’s body, making her departing figure seem a little lonely.

In a corner of the road, He Xing was playing with the ring on his finger.

This woman was really beyond his expectations. He never thought that the two of them would meet again when she committed more murders.

Her actions were swift and clean. He Xing looked at her with admiration.

However, after the killing, she looked so lonely when she left, which made him feel a little bad.

It was strange. He Xing had clearly seen her decisiveness in killing with his own eyes, but he still felt that she was a weak little girl in this world who needed protection.

He had witnessed the entire process of the murder, but he could not help but want to get closer to her. His heart ached for her, and he even wanted to ask her, “Does your hand hurt?”

...

Du Yue returned to the car and drove away.

In her previous life, after the water treatment plant caught fire, the entire city had no access to drinking water. After that, the water supply was never restored. Everyone could only go to large supermarkets and line up to get water. Although large supermarkets had strict control over the price of water and did not increase it significantly, due to the scarcity of water, the amount of water that everyone could buy was limited. Each person could only buy one small bottle of mineral water a day.

A small bottle of mineral water was only 500 milliliters. That could only guarantee that one would not die of thirst on the day itself. That was all.

If one had a big family, one could buy more water and use the extra to cook.

However, if one lived alone or was in a family of two, one could only buy one liter of mineral water a day. It wasn’t even enough to make a bowl of noodles, let alone brush one’s teeth and wash one’s face.

In addition to the large supermarkets selling water, there would also be people driving large trucks to the self-service water dispenser in the community to collect water. People could also choose to buy water there.

However, the price of water from the water dispenser in the neighborhood was more than three times that of the water sold in supermarkets.

Basically, all the households in Du Yue’s neighborhood were above average financially. Therefore, every time the self-service water dispenser was open for access, there would be many people lining up to buy water. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

However, the water supply was still limited. Even if one had money, each family could only buy enough water to prepare food and wash clothes.

As for the luxuries of brushing one’s teeth, washing one’s face, and flushing the toilet, there were not many people who could enjoy those.

Du Yue decided that from today onward, she would no longer flush the toilet. Most of them did not even have enough water to drink. If she still wasted water by flushing the toilet, that could only mean she did not cherish the resources.

Although there would be an unpleasant smell if she used cat litter instead, Du Yue could not care less at this time.

Even now, Du Yue still went out at the same frequency as she did at the beginning of the apocalypse. She would go out once a day.
