I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse

No One Dares to Go Out

Usually, after the sun set every day, everyone would take the opportunity to go out for a breath of fresh air and stretch their stiff bodies after being at home for the whole day.

However, now even when the temperature was at its lowest in the middle of the night, there were not many people who dared to go out.

If it was necessary for them to go out, they would not dare to leave the house in simple short-sleeved shirts and shorts like before. Instead, they could only wear a thick coat and wrap themselves up tightly before going out to avoid being bitten.

As long as one was accidentally bitten by those mosquitoes, not only would one have to bear unbearable pain, but it was likely one would also start to have a high fever. Every time night fell, the sound of ambulances would continue ringing in the sky above the entire city for a long time without stopping.

Only a small number of people who were admitted to the hospital were lucky enough to survive. Most of them had their eyes closed forever and were sent into the blazing incinerating furnace.

Hospital wards were already packed to the brim, and with this sudden incident, there was no place for people to even walk along the corridors.

Du Yue’s heart would tremble every time she saw someone post on the internet about the hospital being overcrowded.

In this kind of hot and scorching weather, people had to be cremated immediately after death. Otherwise, the corpses would rot very quickly.

Many people were sent to the hospital in a hurry only to die helplessly in the end. The patients might not even have had the chance to see their family one last time before they were sent to the crematorium where they were cremated into a pool of ashes.

The temperature was high, and life was stagnant. The price of goods rose rapidly, and it was difficult to preserve the only supplies they had. In addition, they were harassed by all kinds of disgusting snakes, rats, and insects. With the departure of their loved ones, some people broke down emotionally and chose to commit suicide.

However, there was no lack of people who, under this extreme environment, catalyzed the darkness in the depths of their hearts and began to do evil things that harmed others for their own benefit.

It had been more than half a month since the world was taken over by flies. In this half a month, Du Yue did not leave the house even once.

Seeing that the supplies in her space were being depleted with no new gains and her neighbors had also started going out to buy all kinds of supplies, Du Yue felt that it was time for her to go out.

After changing into a long shirt and long pants, she put on a mask, a hat, and a pair of thick gloves. She wrapped herself up like a mummy. Then, she quickly opened the door and dashed out before quickly closing it again.

Go!

It was already past 10 o ‘clock at night when she left the house. The power supply had been cut, and the sky outside had already turned dark.

Du Yue walked to the staircase and slowly made her way to the underground parking lot step by step. Her house was on the 16th floor. It was easy to walk down, but she would have to walk up the stairs step by step later.

No matter how strong Du Yue’s physical strength was, she found it difficult to deal with.

Soon, she reached the underground parking lot. Du Yue took out some pesticide and sprayed it on the insects around the car. While they were busy avoiding the car, she quickly opened the door and got into the driver’s seat.

Du Yue heaved a sigh of relief after getting into the car safely. She drove the car out of the underground garage. There was almost no one in the neighborhood, and there was a strange silence in the dark night.

Du Yue left the neighborhood and drove toward the nearby supermarket. When the car was still quite a distance away from the supermarket, Du Yue saw a long line in front of the supermarket.

Recently, the restrictions on the purchase of all kinds of daily necessities had become stricter, and the number of daily supplies sold in the supermarket was also very small.

If one wanted to buy the things one needed, one had to come early and line up on a first come, first served basis.

Du Yue looked at the long queue and estimated that she would not be able to buy anything even if she queued up. She turned the car around and drove back the way she came.

Halfway through the journey, Du Yue suddenly realized that a white van was following her car not too far away.

Now that oil prices had soared, there were very few people who could afford gas, so people were reluctant to drive out. Most people went out on foot or by bicycle.

Du Yue looked at the van behind her through the rearview mirror. After confirming that it was indeed following her, she stepped on the gas pedal to the maximum and sped forward.

The car was suddenly speeding, and the buzzing sound of the engine was hard to ignore on this quiet night.

Du Yue sped up all the way and drove the car to a small road in the suburbs before she stopped the car.
