In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.
Chapter 27 Extreme Heat, Apocalypse Arrives
It was almost 1 p.m., and since we were already here, we had to have lunch.
We randomly picked a restaurant in the East Wing of Metro and ordered a few specialty dishes; the taste was alright. Actually, Hongtang isn't picky about food; rice and vegetables are fine, everything else is optional.
She didn't experience the joy of food deeply, or you could say she didn't have a strong appetite.
But with the apocalypse approaching, it's always good to stock up on food.
So she went to several restaurants with a lot of customers and ordered all their signature dishes, including Western food and desserts that she never eats.
After packing the food, Hongtang drove her minivan to the South City Cemetery. On the way, she let Ha Ge out and gave him a box of cat food.
Ha Ge only ate half of his meal before lying down in the passenger seat for a nap. Sometimes, when he heard noises outside the car, he would prick up his ears to listen.
Worried that it would get heatstroke, Hongtang brought out the cooling stove, and now Ha Ge was comfortable, snoring away soundly.
Due to the consistently high temperatures, thermostatic clothing is now widely available, but the quality varies due to technological limitations.
High-quality thermostatic clothing is quite expensive, and Hongtang was wearing one, so the current high temperature was still bearable for her.
In fact, animals are more adaptable to their environment. Studies have shown that stray cats and dogs live longer than pet cats and dogs.
Seeing Ha Ge's listless appearance, Hong Tang sighed inwardly. It seemed Ha Ge still had a long way to go in adjusting. If all else failed, she could just let it live in the space from now on; it wasn't like they didn't have the means.
Ha Ge: I was fishing and cockfighting just now, I'm exhausted! I'm going to take a nap, don't wake me up.
Upon arriving at the Chengnan Cemetery, Hongtang went to the work station, presented her relevant documents, and explained her intention to move her mother's body.
The staff member operated the computer for a while, then looked up at Hongtang with surprise before continuing to operate it.
Finally, he said with a strange expression, "Ms. Hong, I'm so sorry, Ms. Hongmei moved out six months ago."
Hongtang raised an eyebrow, quite surprised. "Who is the person in charge?" Her mother was an orphan with no relatives or friends. Her only close friend was Teacher Gao. Could it be him?
She wasn't unaware that Teacher Gao liked her mother, but she had lost contact with Teacher Gao for many years, so there was no way to verify this.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, this information needs to be kept confidential and cannot be disclosed to the public." The staff member seemed somewhat embarrassed.
Hongtang, filled with doubt, suppressed her irritation and said, "I am her daughter, I have the right..."
“We are not aware of these details, but based on the documents you have presented, you have no relation to Ms. Hongmei.” Except for the fact that they both share the surname “Hong.”
......
That's right, Hongtang is not her mother's biological daughter, and there is no legal adoption relationship between them.
She knew this back in high school.
It happened in a biology class when the teacher was talking about blood type. He said, "If either parent has type AB blood, then the child's blood type will definitely not be type O."
These words struck her like a bolt from the blue, leaving her heartbroken and devastated. She was neither her mother's daughter nor her father's child?!
She has type O blood, while her father and mother both have type AB blood, making it even more impossible that they gave birth to her!
Later, she refused to believe it and thought that maybe the blood types were wrong, so she secretly pulled out their hair to do a paternity test.
The result, naturally, disappointed Hongtang.
Hongtang desperately wanted to know who she was, who her biological parents were, and whether she had been abandoned or lost, a question that troubled her for a while.
But she cheered herself up after just one semester.
Who she is is not important.
Who she "becomes" is what matters!
Although her mother wasn't her biological "mother," she treated her like her own child, and that was enough.
Moreover, Mr. Gao, the homeroom teacher, was very kind to me, especially since he later took the blame for "that incident" for me. This kind of "love" was even deeper and greater than "fatherly love".
She has no shortage of parental love, and that is enough.
Now Hongtang was even more certain that the mysterious person who took her mother away was none other than the missing Teacher Gao. As long as he was alright, she looked forward to the day they would reunite.
After sorting out her chaotic thoughts, Hongtang left calmly.
Back in the neighborhood where she had lived for many years, Hongtang solemnly bid farewell to Han Ya, the owner of the pet hospital, and Uncle Chen, the owner of the modified car shop. She showed them the post about the apocalypse and reminded them to stock up on food and water.
The two of them agreed with smiles, but it's unclear whether they actually listened.
They've experienced this kind of thing so many times, each time saying it's the end of the world, but they've always survived.
But who knows if it's true or not this time? It's like the boy who cried wolf.
Hongtang sighed inwardly, resigning herself to fate; this was all she could do.
After handing over her house key to the real estate agent, Hongtang had no further connection with the place.
"I still have 34,800 yuan left. How should I spend it?" Hongtang hadn't expected to have so much money in her bank account.
After thinking it over for a long time, Hongtang decided to take out 2 yuan in cash as a souvenir, and use the rest to buy milk tea!
That's right, it's milk tea.
Although she has already stocked up on milk tea ingredients and making machines, it is still a question whether she will be able to make it in the future.
I remember she bought a cup last time, and she slept soundly all night. This works better than coffee; I'll definitely need it in the future.
Coconut milk tea, milk foam milk tea, pearl milk tea, coffee jelly milk tea, strawberry milk tea, pudding milk tea, chocolate milk tea...
I bought all kinds of milk tea! By evening, I had only bought a little over 600 cups, and still had more than 8000 yuan left.
Arriving at the night market food street, there weren't many stalls open yet at this time.
Hongtang couldn't wait much longer; she was eager to go back and take a shower.
So don't worry about what they're selling, just buy it all. Stinky tofu, grilled squid, grilled gluten, spicy beef offal, cold noodles, Northeastern-style cold noodles, oyster omelets, Taiwanese sausage wrapped in sticky rice, lamb skewers, grilled eggplant, crayfish...
So much so that when Hongtang checked the supplies later, she was stunned. There were so many delicious snacks at the night market. How many treasures had she missed before?
Before the extreme heat arrived, Hongtang didn't plan to go out at all. She ordered takeout for all her meals and used the "monthly payment" function so she didn't have to pay back immediately. She also stocked up on vegetables, fruits, and drinks.
She spent most of her time practicing various energies and managing her space in the room. A batch of Chinese herbs had grown, but she didn't know how to process them, so she could only leave them as they were, figuring they wouldn't spoil in the space anyway.
She found a safe among the supplies she stole from nine villas. After much effort, she opened it and found the keys to the Knight XV and Normadison cars, as well as the escape pod. Inside, there was also a valuable diamond necklace, and most importantly, a handgun and 200 rounds of ammunition.
Well, that should be enough weapons.
Even without weapons, with her current mastery of fire, wood, and mental energy, she can easily cope with all kinds of survival crises in the apocalypse.
However, Hongtang, who grew up in the prosperous and peaceful Dragon Kingdom, has her own principles and bottom line. As long as it does not harm her or the people she cares about (currently only Ha Ge the cat), she is willing to have a sliver of kindness in her heart.
During this period, the first group of 5000 "star citizens" from around the world boarded more than a dozen spaceships, carrying all their belongings, and full of anticipation and hope, and headed towards their new interstellar life.
At the same time, the government also issued a warning about extreme weather and called on the public to stock up on supplies to overcome the difficulties together.
Furthermore, another "superhuman" has emerged overseas, this time possessing the ability to spray water. The "superhuman" claims that he ate a mutated animal.
Some foreign media outlets have reported that the mutated animals were affected by nuclear contamination, which in turn affected humans, and have been used to provoke strong public condemnation of Japan's actions.
But these efforts still didn't cause much of a stir.
Because the thousand-year-old dormant volcano in Japan suddenly erupted, causing a massive tsunami.
The entire nation was submerged by seawater overnight, disappearing into the annals of human history on the planet Aquamarine.
And on June 30th, the extreme heat finally arrived.
