Chapter 9 The end of the world is coming

The red sun rises slowly, bringing warmth to the earth. However, today's sun is a little too warm, and the temperature rises at a much faster rate than usual.

After breakfast, Jiang Ran returned to sit cross-legged in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and quietly looked at the scene outside the window. Today's morning news was playing on the TV behind him.

Watching the people on the street outside gradually lose their smiles and quicken their pace.

At 8 o'clock, as the sun rose, the temperature began to rise rapidly. In just half an hour, the temperature rose from 23 degrees Celsius to 40 degrees Celsius, and before 9 o'clock, the temperature quickly exceeded the 50 mark.

There was an outcry online.

The news that had been ignored before also received attention again, and everyone realized that the high temperature was far from over.

The owner group is also lively again.

"Made, who said the high temperature is over? Today is even hotter than yesterday."

"Brother from Building 7, 406, what's the temperature now? If it's too high, I'll take leave from work today. Who can bear such a hot day!"

Soon, the guy from Building 7, 406 sent a photo of the thermometer.

"Everyone, be mentally prepared. Today's temperature has reached a new high. Picture.jpg"

As soon as the news came out, everyone hurriedly clicked on the picture to check. The real-time temperature on the thermometer was 50.7 degrees Celsius.

"Oh my God!"

"With such a high temperature, could it be possible that the world is going to end?"

"How is it possible? Don't make wild guesses. It may be caused by environmental changes. The government will find a solution."

"I am worried about a problem right now. With such a high temperature, what will happen if there is a sudden power outage? Without air conditioning, our unit buildings will become steamers."

"Hey, we have solar panels installed in our house. With such a big sun, we don't have to worry about electricity consumption."

This message was quickly withdrawn after it was sent out, but there were many people in the group at this time, and many people still saw it.

"What you said upstairs is right. I also need to install a solar panel. If there is a power outage on such a hot day, the elderly and children at home will not be able to bear it!"

"Yes, we young people can tolerate it, but the elderly and children cannot. I have to find a way to install one."

"That thing costs several thousand, is it a bit expensive? I can't afford it."

“Money or life is more important?”

…

Looking at the messages in the group, I saw that everyone was only thinking about making battery panels, but no one thought about hoarding supplies, so Jiang Ran anonymously sent a message in the group.

"Do you want to stock up on supplies? In case of a large-scale power outage, food is also a problem with such a high temperature."

First someone withdrew the news, and now they spoke anonymously. Everyone subconsciously felt something was wrong but couldn't believe it.

They all spoke one after another.

"Don't be so exaggerated, retract and remain anonymous, and make it seem like the end of the world is really coming."

At this time, another anonymous message appeared and immediately caused an uproar.

"You know what the heck, I have a relative who works at a weather station, and he also started stocking up on supplies and installing panels two days ago. Why do you think they do this?

Originally I didn't want to say anything, but someone in the group seemed to know the news, so I came out and said a few words.

I don’t know if it’s the end of the world, but I know that this kind of hot weather won’t end in the short term. Let’s make your own decisions. That’s all.”

Two anonymous messages in succession corroborated each other's words, which made the owners a little worried, but some people did not believe it.

"You guys are undercover agents sent by the supermarket to sing this double act."

"In order to make money, they really do anything and everything, and they even use doomsday remarks to scare everyone at this time."

"That's right, it scared me to death."

Soon, the owners were divided into two groups.

One group believed in anonymous information and began to hoard supplies based on the idea of ​​"better to believe what they have than what they don't have."

The other group believes that nearby businesses are taking advantage of people's panic to make shady money and make the country poor.

Jiang Ran was a little surprised that someone knew the news so early.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s right. With so many professionals in the country, it’s impossible for no one to see the problem.

Three years after the apocalypse, those who control the vast majority of resources are still the so-called upper-class dignitaries before the apocalypse.

And her rebirth only made up for the lack of information at the bottom of society, and stood on the same starting line as the powerful people who knew the news in advance.

But even so, there is a huge gap between her and the powerful.

After the end of the world, the powerful will basically have their own armed forces. It is impossible for those weapons to be produced by themselves after the end of the world.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran couldn't help but sigh. There are always people who think that the end of the world can change their fate.

But in reality, thousands of troops and horses are still crossing the single-plank bridge.

Whenever those at the bottom want to break through the hierarchy and climb up, they have to work hard, and this only gives them a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, Jiang Ran suddenly sympathized with herself, and sympathized with ordinary people like her who didn't know anything.

Before the end of the world, in order to survive, she had to work hard every day to provide for the powerful; after the end of the world, she still had to work hard to scavenge and continue to provide for the powerful.

How ironic!

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran searched the Internet for news related to stocking up on supplies, and sure enough, she found a lot.

Basically, they are all from abroad, and the domestic ones seem to have been deliberately blocked.

The world's top rich people actually started hoarding supplies and building safety fortresses half a month ago. The reporter also used a humorous tone to ridicule that the richer the people, the more afraid they are of death.

After thinking about it, Jiang Ran downloaded the news and posted it anonymously to the group. There was only so much she could do.

Jiang Ran's video did shock some people.

After seeing the video, they also searched online. They knew how to climb the wall and went directly to the Internet. When they saw the recent news about wealthy people at home and abroad building safe houses and hoarding supplies, they immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and began to work non-stop.

Stocking up on supplies in the 50-degree heat.

Putting away his mobile phone and turning on the air conditioner, Jiang Ran began to practice. If he wants to survive in the apocalypse, strength is the most important thing.

The gate of the community.

A young couple in their twenties, wearing sun protection clothing and sun protection masks, each held a black-soled sun umbrella and walked quickly to the supermarket outside the community.

At this time, there were already many people in the supermarket outside the community. From a distance, it looked like a crazy Spring Festival shopping spree.

Seeing this, the couple hurried over, picked up the shopping basket and started loading bread, drinks, canned fruits, etc., as long as they saw something to eat, they took whatever they saw.

The actions of the two people also made other customers who were still carefully selecting panic, and they also made their purchases quickly.

"Hey, don't grab it, that's mine, yours is over there."

"What are you doing? I got this canned fruit first. It's mine."

"What you say is yours is yours. If anyone sees it, do you want it to obey you?"

The woman looked angrily at the thin man in front of her. It was obvious that she touched the canned yellow peach first, but this man snatched it away, and she was still so unreasonable.

Looking at the woman with contempt, the man pushed her away and said, "Don't block the way, or I'll beat you to death."
