In less than an hour, the temperature in the room rose significantly. Du Yue's forehead and face were covered in sweat. She took out the thermometer and saw that it had reached 42 degrees.
Fortunately, she had hung up the blackout curtains before the sun completely rose. Now, as long as she pulled the curtains closed, she could block out the piercing sunlight.
Not only could they block out the glaring sunlight, but they could also prevent the people in the apartment building from seeing the inside of her house through the window.
Du Yue did not turn on the lights. Instead, she turned on her flashlight and scanned the room. She had just paid for two months' worth of water and electricity with the instant noodles and canned food she brought. Now, the water and electricity in the room could be used normally.
Du Yue checked the room and made sure that there was no audio or surveillance equipment in the room. She then turned on the lights with relief.
