High Temperature Acclimatization

She was like a little squirrel who started to hoard food for the coming winter, filling her storage space with food day by day.

The distribution of the items in the storage space was very simple and clear, so that it would be easier for Du Yue to find them.

Every day, Du Yue would take a look at her storage space before she went to bed. Today was no exception. She looked at her storage space, which was filled to the brim, before she fell asleep in peace.

Three months had passed since her rebirth. Du Yue no longer had those terrifying dreams when she slept.

Early the next morning, Du Yue was woken up by the dazzling sunlight. She opened her eyes and looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and scorching the earth.

Du Yue reached under the blanket and fumbled for her phone. She picked it up and took a look.

It was only four in the morning!

Not only was the weather getting hotter, but the sun rose much earlier than before too!

Fortunately, it was still early at four in the morning, so the temperature was not as hot as it would be at noon.

Du Yue reached out to turn off the air conditioner and opened a few windows in the room to let the heat wave from outside enter the room.

She did not plan to go out during the day, so she could only use this method to get herself used to the temperature outside as soon as possible.

After washing up, Du Yue went to the kitchen to make breakfast. She took out the green beans that she had soaked yesterday from the refrigerator and put them into a claypot. She added half a pot of milk that she had bought before and turned on the fire to boil them.

She then took out some flour and meat from her storage space and began to mix them. Du Yue was planning to make some dumplings today. After she was done, she would put them in the dumpling box she had bought earlier and put them in her storage space.

The freshest meat filling and newly-made dumping skins were used. After they were done, they were directly placed into the storage space to keep them fresh. This way, when they were eaten, they could be taken out directly, fresh as if they were just made.

Not only could the storage space keep food fresh, but because the time in the storage space was frozen, the shape and smell of the food would not change, so there was no need to worry about the smell of different foods mixing together.

Du Yue had prepared quite a lot of meat filling and dumpling skins. She wrapped ten boxes of dumplings in one go.

Fortunately, she had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, so she was better than ordinary people in terms of strength and endurance. Otherwise, she would be exhausted after kneading the dough and chopping the stuffing in the ten large boxes of dumplings.

After all, it was quite an exercise to wrap these ten big boxes of dumplings.

After the dumplings were wrapped and the milk and green bean paste were cooked, Du Yue scooped a bowl for herself and drank it. She left the rest to cool and put them in the freezer. After they were frozen, she packed them in a disposable lunch box and put them in her storage space.

The temperature was high. It would be such a happy thing to be able to eat a bowl of cold and sweet milk and green bean paste in such a situation.

Du Yue had been busy the entire morning. By the time she was done with her work and took a cold shower, it was already three in the afternoon by the time she came out of the bathroom.

She sat on the sofa with a bucket of home-packed ice cream in her arms. She turned on the TV and switched the channel to a variety show, eating the ice cream as she watched.

The ice cream was cool and sweet. After a few bites, the heat in her body dissipated, comforting Du Yue’s heart.

After taking a few mouthfuls of ice cream, Du Yue switched the channel to the weather forecast channel.

The TV reported that the highest temperature for the day had reached 56 degrees. In order to avoid a large number of heatstroke cases, all of the students in the province were now taking classes online.

All the major companies had also changed to remote work. The companies that could not had to change their working hours to the evening, or declare a holiday.

Du Yue turned on her phone and checked social media.

On Weibo’s front page, the number of posts about the coming apocalypse had multiplied compared to the day before. Many people were calling for everyone to stock up on supplies as much as possible in case of an emergency. There were also some naturally optimistic people who took pictures of their food and supplies and posted them on social media to show off.

Du Yue shrugged her shoulders helplessly. In her previous life, there were people who openly posted all the things they had hoarded on the internet to show off. Not long after that, the news reported that there had been many cases of vicious burglaries. Almost all of the people who had been robbed were people who had posted their hoarded goods on the internet.

Those with ill intentions could easily find the social media user’s location with a little technical know-how.

This incident also served as a reminder to Du Yue that she had to be careful at all times. People would covet what she had.
