Chapter 8 Heavy Rain Falls, The Apocalypse Arrives

An Nuan cursed inwardly and immediately sent a message.

"Poster, where are you? I need to find you, but I can't track your location."

As soon as this was said, the comment section exploded again.

"Look at this person, still trying to find the poster. Is her brain broken?"

"Maybe she wants to go beat her up."

"Just crawl through the internet cable, remember to stream it, I want to watch!"

An Nuan felt a wave of irritation.

She couldn't help but post a message.

"Others are just trying to be helpful. Everyone should stock up on supplies just in case. What if there's a natural disaster and the city is locked down? Buying some food and water will make things easier for you."

As soon as An Nuan posted it, she was met with ridicule.

Comments like "stocking up on food will kill you," "dig a grave and live in it to save your life," and "rot to death at home" all appeared.

Hai Changfeng cursed, "How can these people be like this!"

"It's okay, they're just netizens. I don't care what they say."

Who would care about what dead people say.

Especially strangers who are dead.

In the apocalypse, dead people are the least lacking.

Not only are zombies dying, but humans are dying every day too.

Compared to dead people, she was more afraid of seeing cockroaches.

The cockroaches in the apocalypse were the size of footballs, so disgusting!

An Nuan's phone suddenly vibrated. A string of code popped up in a text message. After deciphering the code, she got a few words.

"Ms. An Nuan, we will meet."

Who was it, so capable?

Had they really found her through the internet cable?

Just as she was about to look for the sender, all the interfaces disappeared, and her phone restarted.

Luoluo's call came through.

"You were silent just now, and it made me so anxious. Xiao Nuan, are you okay? Do you need me to find someone to continue deciphering?"

"No need."

An Nuan had a premonition that they would indeed meet.

"Luoluo, don't do anything else these few days. Download all the TV shows, variety shows, movies, and documentaries for me."

"Buy all your favorite toys too. I'll give you ten million, is that enough?"

Luoluo didn't respond.

An Nuan: "Not enough? Then I'll give you another five million. By the 12th, bring yourself and everything to my new place, and also..."

"And what?"

"Luoluo, don't go out unless it's necessary. Protect yourself."

An Nuan hung up the phone, sent Hai Changfeng away, and continued her life of buying and receiving goods.

To hide from An Dong's informants, she had specifically acquired a logistics company.

Under her operations, An Dong was also confused.

He couldn't understand why An Nuan, a proper young lady of a conglomerate, would run off to do such dirty and tiring work.

An Tianxin: "Dad, do you think she wants to do smuggling?"

"Smuggle cucumbers and potatoes? They're not worth much even if you transport them to Africa. What exactly does she want to do..."

An Dong didn't dare to act rashly until he understood An Nuan's intentions.

While he was pondering, An Nuan diligently filled the gaps and gradually perfected her spatial inventory.

Half a month later, the weather finally showed signs of abnormality.

It should have started to cool down at the end of August, but in reality, it didn't.

Not only did the temperature not drop, but it rose to 45 degrees.

The outdoor temperature even reached a scorching 60 degrees.

People everywhere began to suffer from heatstroke, fainting, and even dying from the extreme heat.

Many companies and organizations began to give heatwave holidays, and everyone stayed at home, with air conditioners running 24/7.

From the end of August to the beginning of September, the temperature continued to climb.

The power grid couldn't handle the enormous electricity consumption and the sudden high temperatures. Many places had their electrical boxes explode.

The posts that had previously urged people to stock up on food disappeared after a week.

Now, there was no need for reminders.

Due to the high temperatures, fruits and vegetables rotted faster, and livestock suffered heatstroke, with countless deaths.

People didn't want to work in the heat, increasing labor costs.

As a result of a series of butterfly effects, food prices soared to unprecedented heights. Peppers, which cost 3 yuan per jin, now cost 28 yuan and were being snatched up, emptying the shelves as soon as they were stocked.

An Nuan was currently sitting on the sofa, eating an ice pop and watching the news on TV.

This was because her basement was filled with ice blocks.

An Nuan pulled open the insulation layer between two layers, and a cold draft would emanate from below, keeping the entire floor cool.

Juǎnzi and Dāizi still felt cold and were curled up on the sofa, sleeping.

I have to say, the efficiency of a professional team was indeed high.

In three weeks, not only had the house been remodeled to her liking, but they had also installed many additional features for her, including a living green wall.

An Nuan fixed several laser guns in hidden corners, and her new home was complete!

Ding dong!

"Coming!"

As soon as An Nuan opened the door, Luoluo threw a package into her house.

"My dear ancestor, the layout of your new house is comparable to Qin Shi Huang's tomb! I even have to follow a map to get around!"

"I've buried traps and explosives underground. If you step on the wrong one, you'll die."

"You're crazy!"

Luoluo didn't take An Nuan's words seriously as she carried several bags inside.

"One hundred 2TB hard drives, containing all the variety shows, movies, TV series, and documentaries from the Antarctic to the Arctic that could be found. In the backpack are 10,000 games. It's enough to keep you occupied for a year, guaranteeing you won't be bored."

An Nuan wasn't worried about boredom.

In her previous life, after awakening her powers, she was assigned to a search and rescue team and had to venture out for resources every two days.

Being able to live at home and be bored was a great fortune in life!

Luoluo entered the house, opened a bottle of ice-cold cola, and the television was broadcasting current affairs news.

"Our city will experience rainfall tomorrow morning at 1 AM. Citizens are advised to..."

"It's finally going to rain! Oh my god, I'm about to evaporate!"

"It should have rained long ago! Come quickly, drench me!"

Luoluo giggled, "Xiao Nuan, look, someone actually said they wanted to be drenched to death. They're truly baked silly. How can rain kill people?"

An Nuan smiled faintly.

She glanced at the quartz clock on the wall.

September 12th, 11:59. The second hand ticked rhythmically.

When all three hands pointed to midnight, An Nuan took a deep breath.

"Luoluo, the wish of that netizen is about to come true."

Rumble~~

At 1 AM, a few thunderclaps exploded in the sky.

The sky turned a strange and terrifying color, and in the dark sky, a bizarre yellow mushroom cloud appeared.

Heavy rain poured down.

Most people were not asleep, and some even ran out into the rain to celebrate.

Everyone was immersed in the excitement of the rainfall.

However, in just one day, everyone could no longer laugh.

Although it rained, the high temperature persisted, even higher than before.

A large amount of water + high temperature turned the city into a giant steamer.

The temperature not only didn't drop but became even more humid and hot, making people feel as uncomfortable as steamed crabs.

In just two days, thousands of people died from not being able to withstand the high temperatures.

Luoluo was stunned: "Xiao Nuan, the apocalypse has truly arrived..."
