Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Compared with other communities, life in Dongyuan Community is actually much better.

The government has never stopped distributing supplies every three days. Although we cannot eat too much with these relief foods, we can still maintain the minimum survival needs every day.

In addition, there are five vegetable greenhouses in the community. Whether it is vegetables or staple food, the community allows community owners to exchange them at a relatively low exchange price.

In addition, the community has hired a lot of people to help with both gate guard duty and the operation of the vegetable greenhouse. As long as you are diligent, you can always earn some supplies to make a living.

Only those who are lazy, selfish, and narrow-minded who hide at home and dare not go out, barely surviving on relief food, will become increasingly worse off, their minds increasingly unbalanced, and then go astray.

Because several communities have recently been hit by fires, resulting in numerous casualties and displacement, Director Wu convened a general meeting of homeowners in the community, repeatedly urging every household to take precautions against fire.

Now that the flood has receded to the first floor, it is more convenient for people to go out.

Without electricity and natural gas, the biggest difficulty for people is not using air conditioning for cooling, but cooking with firewood.

There was not much firewood to be found in the city, so the survivors could only row boats to the suburbs together. When they saw tall trees that had not been overturned by floods and tsunamis, they would climb up and cut branches as if they had found treasure.

Some people chop the trees by hand, and each stroke requires a lot of strength.

Some people used battery-powered electric saws to cut the tree trunks, and then used several boats to tow them to the frame building, and then chopped them into small pieces with axes.

Others, not daring to go too far from the residential area, put on diving suits and ran to the flooded homes on the lower floors, cutting up furniture and wooden doors and dragging them out.

The firewood collected bit by bit in this way is very precious. Each family will dry it in a secluded place and then bring it home.

The temperature is too high now, so you don’t need to dry the firewood you find. Just throw it on the balcony or in the room and it will dry quickly.

In addition to cooking with fire, some people are smart and think of cooking with coal.

J City is also a coal-producing city with rich coal resources. However, as coal resources have become increasingly depleted in recent years, the city has gradually turned to tourism development, and the coal industry has declined.

When the flood came, the first thing to do was to move the necessary survival supplies, and no one cared about the coal, and no one had time to take care of it.

By the time we remembered its importance, several larger coal yards under J City had been completely submerged by floods.

When the underground was hollowed out and the surrounding areas were all coal mine subsidence areas, floods and tsunamis caused most of the coal mine subsidence areas to collapse completely.

Therefore, although some people now venture into underground coal mines to mine coal, the amount of coal mined is not large, and the coal needs to be dried after it is mined before it can be sold.

The price of coal in the market is very high and ordinary people can't afford it at all.

Therefore, although Director Wu repeatedly emphasized the importance of fire prevention, this ban has loopholes when every household needs to rely on fire to cook.

Of course, this is a follow-up.

Now, what worries people most is the gradually rising temperature.

Perhaps it was the series of numerous riots that made the government realize the seriousness of the situation and speed up its actions.

At the end of August, when the floods had receded and the temperature had risen to 60 degrees Celsius, the service hall distributed the newly developed air-conditioning suits.

Air-conditioning suits, as the name suggests, are garments that can regulate temperature and are very similar in appearance to the space suits worn by astronauts.

An air-conditioned suit is an independent ecosystem.

A control device and battery are cleverly built into the center of the air-conditioning suit near the abdomen, connected to internal wires and switches.

Air outlets are set at the hind legs.

When using, you only need to turn on the switch and press the plus or minus keys as needed to easily adjust the temperature inside the air-conditioned suit.

In addition to temperature settings, the air-conditioned suit is also equipped with an oxygen supply system, with an oxygen adjustment device and switch on the ear side.

Overall, this unique intelligent temperature control and oxygen supply function can almost be regarded as the epitome of modern life technology. Once it was released, it attracted a lot of attention and admiration!

Zhou Shuwan was also very surprised. There was no such clothing in his previous life.

But if you think about it carefully, there is a "prophet" in this life, and as time goes by, her words must have been verified one by one.

Therefore, the government will believe that high temperatures are disastrous, and will arrange for scientific researchers to develop air-conditioned clothing in advance to help humans adapt to high temperatures.

However, with current human technology, this type of air-conditioned clothing can be developed, but it is very difficult to produce on a large scale. It requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and the development of very special energy sources.

In particular, the timing of natural disasters in this life is completely different from that in the previous life.

The sudden end of the flood weather and the arrival of high temperatures caught people off guard.

Therefore, air-conditioned clothing was not mass-produced until the temperature rose to 60 degrees.

These are basic survival supplies, but they are too expensive and the government does not distribute them for free.

The service hall in J City only received a few thousand items. Except for the troops, staff, and a small number of special personnel who received them for free, the general public needed to exchange them for supplies.

This is a life-saving item, and every household took out the maximum amount of supplies they had in order to exchange it for an air-conditioned suit.

As a result, air-conditioned clothing was sold at sky-high prices.

The Zhou family also held a meeting to discuss whether to exchange for air-conditioned clothing.

Now that they have air conditioning at home, their lives are not greatly affected, but they have been trapped at home. Except at night, they dare not go out at other times for fear that they cannot bear the temperature outside, especially Mu Mu, who is young and more sensitive to temperature changes.

After Zhong Tiyun rested at home, she stayed closely with Mu Mu, fearing that he would not be able to adapt to the high temperature and get sick.

Recently, too many elderly people and children have died due to high temperatures, and many young and strong people have suddenly fallen to the ground and stopped breathing.

If he wanted to exchange for air-conditioned clothing, Zhou Shuwan could exchange for two or three pieces with the supplies in his space without any major damage.

Last year, she stockpiled about 1000 tons of coal from several small private coal mines on the top of Mount Cumulus.

The remaining money will be enough for your family to use for decades, and the rest can be exchanged for air-conditioned clothes, which should be more than enough.

But what they discussed was whether to exchange it or not.

Zhou Jianghai thought for a moment and said, "I think if the high temperatures continue for a year or two, the government will definitely not ignore it. The air-conditioned suits distributed now are the first batch, and there will be a second and third batch in the future. We shouldn't rush to exchange so many. Let's just take out a few hundred tons of coal and exchange them for one. This way, it won't attract attention, and if we have to go out for something, we won't be completely trapped at home."

Zhong Tiyun also nodded: "Your father is right. Our family exchanged for several air-conditioned clothes at once, which is too high-profile. Now we should be low-key and not attract attention!"
