Apocalypse\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>3201.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After luxuriating in a lavish red wine bath and resting on the couch for a while, Jiang Yan thought about what to do next when she heard a “beep-beep—beep-beep-beep!” the two short and three long alarm sounds from the monitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she remembered correctly, this should have been the warning tone indicating the portable energy cabinet in the safe house was running low on power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She promptly took off her bathrobe, changed into a set of lightweight sportswear, and then exited from “Space.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she returned to the living room, she felt the temperature outside was much colder than before she had entered “Space.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cold wasn’t just due to the temperature difference between “Space” and the safe house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most likely, there had been another drop in the outside temperature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked over to the wall and glanced at the thermometer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the outside temperature had now dropped to 12 degrees, and indoors, it was only 20 degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, the indoor and outdoor temperature difference was about 5 degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, because her room used insulating materials, the difference was even greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this rate of temperature drop, likely, once the rainstorm ended, everyone would face the most severe problem of extreme cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to her not so accurate memory from her last life, prior to the extreme cold, there would be a major earthquake and a widespread plague of mutant bugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan suddenly felt that the natural disasters in this lifetime were more severe than in the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, there was the sudden extreme heat, followed closely by heavy rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before people could react, the rain had flooded their doorsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the onset of the disaster, most people harbored some luck, thinking they might be spared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was this mentality that caused people to miss the best opportunity for self-rescue during an unsuspecting wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, some with a keen sense of crisis had prepared, but they were in the minority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, logically speaking, during the previous high temperatures, many reservoirs, rivers, and underground rivers had dried up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The initial rains would likely have been absorbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This only meant that the rainfall was too vast, far exceeding the natural absorption capacity of these channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people’s food supplies at home would have run out long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the rain had been lighter and the water levels had risen more slowly, they could have gone out and scrounged for supplies at zero cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if those supplies had spoiled during the previous high heat, they could have served to stave off hunger for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, continuous torrents of rain and thunder had trapped everyone inside their homes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any hope and means of searching for supplies were completely cut off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if some families had rubber boats and dared to venture out in the rain, the supplies were already submerged deep under the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without navigation and positioning, everything was a vast ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding anything was questionable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without professional equipment and sufficient manpower, retrieval would be very difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, some people would attempt to reach high-rise office buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how much supplies could they scavenge?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since even the most powerful authorities had suddenly disappeared without a trace…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All signs indicated that none of this was a good omen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan’s brow furrowed slightly as she walked straight to the master bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From here, she could see the central garden of the Shallow Bay District and other buildings, as well as the rising water level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today’s rain was so dense that it almost completely obscured the view, forcing her to take out the high-powered telescope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had not checked in a while, and now the water level had already risen to the 12th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The building across the darkness was deathly still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could faintly see sparse figures moving upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, occasionally, some figures appeared “forcefully jumping” from the windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These figures seemed to have alive and dead among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drama of survival of the fittest was not only happening in building A, but also in other buildings and districts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching for a while, Jiang Yan put down the telescope and calculated the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If compared to her last life, the rainstorm would likely reduce somewhat when it reached the 16th floor, in about two or three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By that time, the rain would still be falling, but sparser and might even pause for three to four hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When exactly it would stop, she did not know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This period would last only three to four days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three to four days would be the only window of opportunity for everyone to find supplies and survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the likelihood of people going out and surviving dropped almost to zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four days later, a heavier rainstorm would come again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water levels would start to rise crazily and flood most parts of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anming’s geographical environment was unique, surrounded by mountains and resembling a basin in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very likely that the floodwaters rushing from all directions on the mountains would inundate the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And most people would either starve, drown, be washed away by the flood, or lose their lives in the survival of the fittest during this super rainstorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would mark the real onset of the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From that moment, those who still harbored a sliver of hope inside would completely plunge into endless despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subsequent earthquakes and mutant bug disasters would claim more lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with the coming extreme cold, all things would be entrapped in ice, and human wickedness would be fully unleashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her last life, it was during this extreme cold that she became a meal for Song Deming and his mistress’s family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jiang Yan recalled these events, her mood unconsciously turned heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the living room, she glanced out the floor-to-ceiling window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopping center she had visited earlier had been a vast ocean a few days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high-rise apartment built next to it, though not as tall as Shallow Bay Building A, was still half visible above the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old district she had flown over in her flight suit had long since disappeared under the rooftops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire city, as far as the eye could see, was pitch dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only during the flashes of lightning could one catch a glimpse of a few isolated high-rise buildings standing alone in the rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beep-beep—beep-beep-beep!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The portable energy cabinet’s secondary alarm pulled Jiang Yan’s thoughts back from her heavy memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her safe house, other than the master bedroom, pillars, and load-bearing walls, she had asked the renovation company to connect the remaining areas with the living room, so the energy cabinet was placed right next to a pillar in the corner of the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan walked over, turned off the main switch, then placed her hand on the portable energy cabinet, thought “retrieve,” and stored the energy cabinet into “Space.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top of the Space Apple Cabin was equipped with photovoltaic panels for recharging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With another thought, she took out a fully charged portable energy cabinet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned on the switch, and the safe house was powered up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she did not immediately return to “Space.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the monitors and intrusion detection systems reconnected to the power, they required a reboot process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She planned to wait until these devices restarted and confirm everything was functioning normally before entering “Space.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beep!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, all the devices and screens had resumed normal operation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1261,"2026-06-06T15:07:16.288Z",1,"novelbin.me","bd6b8dfe066b28f256bc8713f9f0dcd0b12f3b528f6c119428d7c38bd25c9c2e","apocalypse-after-being-reborn-i-stocked-up-on-al-chapter-69","apocalypse-after-being-reborn-i-stocked-up-on-al-chapter-67",469,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-after-being-reborn-i-stocked-up-on-al-cover.jpg"]
