The End Of The World Is Coming

The elevator stopped on the first floor. When the elevator door opened, two old men walked in.

Both of their hands were also filled with various shopping bags and food bags. There were several shopping bags on the floor of the elevator door. The two of them finally moved all of the shopping bags into the elevator. After panting and catching their breath, they began to chat.

“Have you heard? Starting from tomorrow, there will be a shortage of water. When we get home, we should quickly find all of the spare containers and fill them with water. It’s really such a pain. On such hot days, if we limit the usage of water and electricity, howwe still going to live?”

“Sigh, my old lady’s blood pressure is already high, and it’s even higher because of the heat. I used to be able to turn on the air-conditioner, but now I’m relying on the pressure-reducing medicine to hold on!”

“Right, after the power is limited, there’s also the water. Life is getting more and more inconvenient! I feel like we’re living like people from the last century! Why is it that the more technology develops, the more backward human life is! I heard from my grandson that many people are saying that the end of the world is coming!”

“That’s just alarmist talk on the internet! Things will probably be fine in a month! But to be safe, it’s always better to buy more food and drink!”

Du Yue stood in the corner of the elevator, quietly listening to the conversation between the two. It did not take long for the elevator to reach their floor. The two of them got out of the elevator one after another, leaving Du Yue alone in it.

She had been shopping outside and had not had time to read the news. It was only when she heard the two old men chatting that she found out about the water shortage.

The elevator stopped on the 16th floor. Du Yue quickened her pace to the door of her house. After entering the house, she quickly put everything into her storage space. Then, she opened her phone and found the homeowners’ group chat.

As soon as he opened it, a group announcement popped up. The announcement was about the water and electricity restrictions.

Du Yue sighed to herself when she saw the message.

Before the water shortage set in, she quickly went to the bathroom to take a cold shower. She returned to her room and turned on one of the swamp coolers. The temperature at night was usually around 32 to 33 degrees celsius, so Du Yue usually only used one.

After filling up the water tanks and buckets she had bought earlier, Du Yue bought another two hundred containers of each type. During this period, she had filled up all the water tanks and containers she had placed in her storage space.

Therefore, even if they started limiting the water supply now, it would not affect Du Yue much. Although she had stored enough water, she still decided to save as much as she could. The water used to wash clothes could be used to mop the floor, the water used to wash rice and vegetables could also be used to flush the toilet and, even after washing her face, it could also be used to wash her feet. Every drop of water from the tap was fully utilized.

Du Yue was well aware that after the water shortage, everyone would start to do what she was doing now and try to reuse a basin of water a few times. However, even so, the existing water supply would not last long.

Later on, the water supply would dwindle continuously, and everyone would even have problems finding enough water to drink.

When that time came, simply pouring a basin of used sewage into the sewer would attract everyone’s attention, which would get her into trouble.

After the apocalypse in his previous life, as the water supply dwindled, the toilet became almost useless. Everyone went to the outdoor outhouse to solve their physiological problems, and later on, they simply found a small bush to solve their problems.

Of course, there were also some people who had no sense of morality. They did not care whether it would affect the environment or not. They simply peed and defecated on the side of the road without anyone looking.

It was already hard to see the road clearly when one went out at night, and the scene of stepping on a large pile of feces was still vivid in her mind.

In order to not be so embarrassed about her physiological needs, Du Yue had searched through various forums and websites for ways to resolve this problem.

Among them, many wild survival fanatics posted that cat litter could solve the problem. Cat litter had strong water absorption properties and could cover the smell of the feces.

Du Yue had never owned a pet before. This was the first time she had heard of cat litter. When she learned of its uses, she could not help but marvel at it. It was really good stuff!

Du Yue immediately contacted two pet supplies manufacturers and ordered 60 tons of cat litter in one go.
