I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse

The Carefree Days

Every time she went out, Du Yue would carry a backpack and a bucket. There were many other people who had the same equipment as Du Yue.

However, the buckets that other people carried were filled with real excrement, while Du Yue’s bucket was empty.

Du Yue went out with a bucket only to hide her tracks from the others.

However, it would be troublesome if this continued. Even so, the news about the safety base had not been released yet, so Du Yue had no choice but to wait.

In the half a month after the water supply was completely cut off, there were more and more cases of street robberies. Not only were people robbed when they went out to buy water, but some bold ones even dared to break into people’s houses.

These things were common during the apocalypse in Du Yue’s previous life. In her previous life, Du Yue had racked her brain every day to think of ways to buy more water. She had no time to pay attention to the various posts on the internet.

By the time she found out about the happenings, her neighbor, who was only one unit away from her, was robbed. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

Those who broke into the house were all strong men. Most of them relied on robbing and stealing to survive even before the apocalypse, and a small number of them only joined after the water supply stopped. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

At first, these people only looked for opportunities outside at night to grab supplies from people who were alone, but they soon became bold. Small robberies on the road were no longer enough to satisfy them.

Later on, they had a change of mind and decided to target the more luxurious areas in the city. The price of a house in a luxurious community was usually very high. Those who could afford it were naturally richer and could buy more supplies.

Those who were robbed would call the police, but the police would not be sent out during the day. They would only be sent out at night.

Usually, no one would install surveillance cameras in their homes. The surveillance cameras in the community were also out of use due to the power restrictions. The robbers had also prepared all kinds of masks to cover their faces, so almost no one had seen their faces clearly. Since no one knew what they looked like, it was naturally more difficult to arrest them. In the end, no one was caught.

There were also some who were standing on the sidelines, watching. After seeing such a situation, they put down all their scruples and began to join the ranks of the robbers.

Not only were the supplies expensive, but people also had to line up to get them and most things were sold in limited quantities.

Compared to that, robbing was a good business. A robber did not even need to pay anything and could get the resources that ordinary people would not be able to buy even with all their efforts.

The people who were worried about being robbed no longer sat still and waited for death. Some people decided to group up with their neighbors to keep each other warm and take care of each other.

Some thought that since they could not win, they might as well join the other party and become robbers as well.

The order that originally still remained in the world disappeared completely after this farce.

In her previous life, Du Yue did not want to rob, nor did she want to be at the mercy of others. She could only rely on her own strength to fight against those who had ill intentions.

Later on, many noticed her extraordinary skills and took the initiative to look for her, wanting to form an alliance with her and ask for her protection. They wanted her protection, but they did not want to offer her anything in return. When she encountered danger, they would leave her behind and escape by themselves.

After that incident, Du Yue made up her mind to not care about the life and death of others.

She did not need to be responsible for other people’s lives.

Du Yue understood this principle in her previous life. Of course, she would still follow the same principle in this life and not care about anyone else’s affairs.

Du Yue stayed in her own world every day and lived her life well. She ate delicious food, drank beer, and watched variety shows in a carefree manner. When she felt bored, she would count the supplies in her space to kill time.

When the weather was hot, she would take a comfortable cold shower. After the shower, she would lie on the bed in shorts and a vest, enjoying the cool breeze that came from all directions in the room. While enjoying the cool temperature, she would watch a drama or listen to some songs. Life was so beautiful.

The days passed by quickly, and it was soon December.

If it were in the previous world, December would be winter through and through. The temperature would drop below zero, and people would have to wear fleece jackets when traveling.

However, it was different now. Although it was already December, the temperature was still high. During the day, the highest temperature could reach more than 60 degrees, and even the lowest temperature would still be above 50 degrees.

Even at night after the sun had set, the temperature would maintain at more than 30 degrees.
