Calamity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan had just stretched out her hand to push open the hidden door when a wave of stuffy, intense coffee aroma and heat hit her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even through the insulation hat, she could feel the heat inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the temperature outside was around sixty-six or sixty-seven degrees, then the temperature inside was at least seventy degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t immediately go in, but stood at the door, waiting for the high-temperature air inside to merge with the outside, while also taking the opportunity to observe the storage situation inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the lack of lights inside, it was pitch-dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took out an emergency light from Space and shone it inside, seeing large, neatly stacked cardboard boxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the sensation of the heatwave was gone, and after confirming there was no danger, she stepped in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, it was indeed a whole different world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did she find a lot of well-packaged coffee beans, coffee powder, coffee capsules, sugar, cinnamon powder, hazelnuts, almonds, there was also a pile of limited edition blind box gifts for sale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On another shelf, there were several large cardboard boxes of sealed paper cups of various sizes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, there were a few brand-new, unopened imported coffee machines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of these coffee machines could cost several hundred thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also some brand-new bean grinders, tampers, ice makers, hand brew kettles, and filter cups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan collected all of them into Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the boxed hazelnut spreads, chocolate, milk, cream, etc., they had spoiled in the high temperatures of the past two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She chose to ignore them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Jiang Yan was about to leave, she saw five somewhat familiar cardboard boxes piled up in the corner of two adjacent shelves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer inspection, whoa, they were all 52-degree Flying Fairy Maotai!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six bottles to a box, a total of 30 bottles!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liquor spoils under high temperatures because the heat causes the seals on the bottles to deteriorate, leading to evaporation and reflux of the liquor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the temperature was extraordinarily high at the moment, the seal of Flying Fairy was still reliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan didn’t think twice and immediately collected them all into Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the fact that these valuable goods were still left behind indicated that when people evacuated the shop, they had not anticipated the high temperatures to persist and rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, these goods would have been moved away long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After clearing the storeroom, Jiang Yan returned to the dining area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, it was nearly six o’clock outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She checked the weather on her phone, which showed sixty degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Yan guessed the actual temperature was probably close to sixty-six or sixty-seven degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pile of Blood Mosquitoes that had been stuck to the glass wall, after waiting in vain, had finally left reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan thought it was still early before dark, so she decided to enter Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking off her insulation hat, insulation clothes, shoes, sunglasses, and various other items, she habitually clicked on the surveillance to take a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the high temperature, all the original surveillance circuits in the complex had activated their circuit fuses for protection and had automatically shut down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the cameras Jiang Yan had installed were still functioning normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The community’s surveillance used ordinary electrical wires, while her surveillance wire was insulated with silicone rubber, with a working temperature range of -60°C to 180°C, well able to withstand both cold and heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not specifically switched, the surveillance screen was usually in a six-grid layout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screens showed everything as normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, some people, bare-armed and bare-legged, were moving supplies underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature was so high that everyone dared not move too quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing nothing new on the screen, Jiang Yan drank a bottle of chilled soda water and then headed straight to the second floor of the Apple Cabin, to the gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking out her boxing gloves, Jiang Yan started practicing on the punching bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had impromptly learned some mixed martial arts when she had encountered a new season of the UFC during her travels abroad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, she felt the sport was somewhat bloody, but now it seemed perfect for self-defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unknowingly, it was past nine in the evening already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the high temperatures had arrived, the nights had become very late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anming City, which normally got dark around eight o’clock, wouldn’t become completely dark until about eight-thirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling that enough time had passed, Jiang Yan put her insulation clothes back on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving Space, she habitually clicked to check the surveillance again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the screen connected, she saw the corridors of Building A, on the first and seventh floors, swarming with Blood Mosquitoes and littered with bodies lying haphazardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground and walls were splattered with bright red spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the shapes of the corpses, there were adults, elderly, children, and even infants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other high floors had them too, but relatively fewer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a person was only dealing with a few simple mosquitoes, it was much easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was that when a swarm of mutated giant mosquitoes attacked in dense numbers, there were always unprotected weak points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once any mosquito’s sharp proboscis penetrated, the consequences were unthinkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Help!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, don’t worry about me, just run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick, retreat! There are mosquitoes over there too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, who went out and didn’t close the door?! If I find out, I’ll definitely sacrifice her to the heavens!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Mom, wake up! Please don’t leave me alone! Wuuuu…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…..”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heart-rending cries for help, sounds of struggle, and terrified screams of escape from the surveillance screen came intermittently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“!!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan’s pupils shrank, for a moment thinking she had switched to the wrong screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After scrutinizing it for a few moments, she involuntarily gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The solid bastion of Shallow Bay had, within a few hours, turned into a hunting and slaughterhouse for Blood Mosquitoes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This puzzle confounded Jiang Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it possible that a resident had forgotten to close the door after opening it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or had the property management staff just thrown in the towel en masse?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that shouldn’t have been the case!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took off her insulation hat, sat down on the sofa with the pad, and set the playback speed to 32 times the normal rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unit door had been manually opened around eight-thirty at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan returned the playback to normal speed when the image jumped to the moment the door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to previous community management requirements, from six in the evening to seven-thirty the next morning, the communal doors were strictly forbidden to open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because this period was the active feeding time for the Blood Mosquitoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rule was exceptionally clear and ingrained in the minds of both residents and property management.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But strangely enough, a young man wrapped up tightly with a helmet and mask opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around to make sure there was no one else around, then propped the door open even wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but he also took something resembling a wedge from his pocket to prop the door firmly open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After doing all this, he sneaked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, a horde of huge Blood Mosquitoes rushed into the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan furrowed her brow, rewound the footage to the moment the young man had come in, then paused and zoomed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly recognized the person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was one of the property managers she had seen at the entrance to the underground parking lot, with a group of people in white shirts, just the day before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he wasn’t the manager, probably just one of the supervisors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan remembered him so clearly because the sports shoes he wore had a pattern of pale yellow with red rims, like flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red flame pattern under the fierce sun made it even more irritating to the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she had taken a special glance at them at that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the young man’s left hand was unusual, having six fingers, and thus he was the only one not wearing gloves on his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matched the characteristics of a security supervisor’s hands she had encountered when dealing with property issues before…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan felt a sinking feeling:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would he do this?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he acting out of a sense of revenge triggered by stress?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her memory, there were still at least ten more days of high temperatures to endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shallow Bay had an underground parking lot where the residents could take shelter and avoid the heat for the next few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, several old communities had no underground parking facilities and just had to endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequent downpours would also likely leave Shallow Bay relatively less affected due to its higher elevation compared to other communities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that Shallow Bay had the advantage during both the heat and rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a pity that they had not yet overcome the natural disaster before facing this man-made calamity!\u003C\u002Fp>",1505,"2026-06-06T15:07:16.009Z",1,"novelbin.me","9a141372630db6d1595b994f9efed9bff3385411b9f64ef0a8ceff8e7d7765e9","apocalypse-after-being-reborn-i-stocked-up-on-al-chapter-46","apocalypse-after-being-reborn-i-stocked-up-on-al-chapter-44",469,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-after-being-reborn-i-stocked-up-on-al-cover.jpg"]
