PFC Chapter 837 Extreme Apocalypse 1
Chapter 837 Extreme Apocalypse 1
Zhong Ning was awakened by the sound of the pouring rain.
She opened her eyes and looked out the window at the torrential rain pouring down.
Looking around at the room, with its minimalist bed and cabinets, it seems I've entered a modern world again.
Before she could ask Xiao Qi to transfer her memories, the phone rang first.
She reached for her phone on the bedside table, saw that the caller ID was saved as her mother, and answered the call immediately.
Zhong Ning didn't know what kind of personality the original owner usually had, nor did she know what her relationship with her parents was like.
She didn't speak immediately after the call connected; it was the person on the other end who spoke first.
"Tongtong, listen to your mother. It's been raining for half a month and it hasn't stopped. I'll go pick you up with your Uncle Li later, so don't be stubborn anymore."
The middle-aged woman's voice was filled with urgency and concern.
Zhong Ning also gleaned some information from her words.
First of all, the torrential rain lasted for half a month, which seemed like an extreme weather situation.
The original owner's mother must have mentioned coming to pick her up before, but the original owner stubbornly refused.
The reason for this might be the "Uncle Li" she mentioned, rather than her father, suggesting that her mother is now in her second marriage.
However, since she hadn't received the memories, she didn't know the specifics and could only speak according to the original owner's previous decision.
"Mom, I don't need it..."
Before Zhong Ning could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the seemingly domineering but actually worried voice of the original owner's mother.
"No need for anything, do you want to never see your mother again? Stop talking, just pack your things and wait, I should be here this afternoon."
As soon as she finished speaking, the original owner's mother hung up the phone quickly, as if afraid that she would refuse.
Zhong Ning was somewhat helpless, and just then her phone ran out of battery and shut down automatically.
The last bit of battery was used up in that phone call that lasted less than a minute.
I estimate the signal will be cut off in the next couple of days.
"Xiao Qi, transfer your memories."
"Good host."
The original owner's name was Ruan Chutong. Her father passed away from illness when she was five years old, and she was raised by her mother with great difficulty.
Two years ago, the original owner's mother suddenly told her that she was going to get married.
The original owner was confused after hearing this. How come her mother had never thought of getting married and finding someone else after all these years?
Instead, when he grew up and was able to support her after starting work, he found her a stepfather.
Especially after learning that the man's family had two children, one of whom was older than her.
The original owner was worried that her mother would be deceived, so she was always reluctant to agree to the marriage.
But her mother also had the right to pursue freedom and happiness, so she felt awkward watching her mother, with whom she had depended for life, marry into another family.
Not only was she worried that her mother would be wronged, but she also felt that her closest person had become distant from her, which made her feel conflicted.
Therefore, whenever her mother asked the original owner to come over to live or eat there, the original owner rarely went.
Everything was normal until suddenly torrential rains hit the world.
At first, it just rained every day, and nobody really paid much attention.
But the rain continued for half a month without stopping, and instead got heavier and heavier, that's when everyone realized something was wrong.
The original owner's mother had called twice before, once to ask the original owner to move to the Li family's house, and once to say she would come to pick her up.
However, the original owner felt uncomfortable interacting with so many people and rejected them both times.
What happened next was like a fast-forward; the rain quickly and completely flooded the first and second floors.
Before many people could even react, the exit was blocked.
The memories have ended; this world does not offer the complete storyline.
Ruan Chutong got up and walked to the window, only to see that the outside world had become a vast expanse of water, with water flooding everywhere downstairs.
She lives on the twelfth floor. The first and second floors of the building are submerged and invisible, and she can see that the third floor will soon be flooded as well.
The water was very murky, and there were many floating objects on the surface.
People have been stuck at home for half a month, and many have run out of food.
Even though they can't go out now, some people are still trying their best to swim to get food.
Starting yesterday, the government began distributing survival supplies to everyone, so so far there haven't been any major incidents.
But if the rain continues like this, or if there are other extreme weather events, it's estimated that this situation won't last long.
Ruan Chutong didn't believe that the torrential rain she saw upon arrival meant she had entered a peaceful world.
It's estimated that this time, the apocalypse is related to extreme weather.
"Xiao Qi, are there any side quests?"
Xiao Qi: "Some hosts, this time the side mission is to protect your family and help them survive the apocalypse."
"One family? Including the Li family?"
"Yes host."
"It seems I have no choice but to move."
After Ruan Chutong finished speaking, she decisively turned around and walked out of the room to the kitchen.
We've been without water and electricity for several days now, and the food in the refrigerator is all gone.
All that remained were the instant noodles the original owner had bought to fill their stomachs after working overtime, and four packs of them.
The remaining compressed biscuits and bottled water were from the survival kit that was just distributed yesterday, enough to last for three days.
Other items at home include about ten kilograms of rice, a half-eaten bottle of fermented bean curd, some seasonings, a few small packets of spicy strips, and some candy.
In the first few days, the original owner was still able to cook and eat normally.
In the following days, when there were no vegetables, we cooked rice and ate it with fermented bean curd. We only ate one meal a day.
These past two days, with the water and electricity cut off, I haven't been able to cook or make instant noodles. The original owner had planned to eat only one pack of compressed biscuits a day starting today.
Drink water only when you're thirsty, and try to conserve everything else.
If things continue like this, once the survival kits stop being distributed, she'll have to start a fire, set up a pot, and cook porridge.
After washing up in the space, Ruan Chutong put away any usable items.
Find another backpack and pack all the food and toiletries separately inside.
Back in the room, I opened the wardrobe and looked around, but I still hadn't touched the original owner's clothes.
She took out a large suitcase and took out several sets of underwear and a change of clothes from inside.
Then there's the long down jacket, followed by thick clothes and pants, and then two sets of thin clothes and pants.
Heavy rain easily evokes images of extreme cold, making thick clothing seem necessary.
The original owner also had a small suitcase, which could be used to store hygiene products, such as sanitary napkins, which were all taken from the space.
Before she could even finish setting it up, Ruan Chutong suddenly realized that if the apocalypse came, it would be really inconvenient not to use the space.
Moreover, there were too many things, and it would be difficult to take them with me when I left. I also didn't know how the Li family would come to pick me up.
It might be a kayak or a speedboat or something like that.
Finally, her luggage went from two suitcases and a bag to a backpack containing only a few clothes.
Everything else was put back into the space.
