Chapter 39 - Heating up

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the temperature began to climb by a couple of degrees, and Su Yu and the others were worried that the white fungus would disappear as the temperature rose, so they resumed their plan of one person staying at home and five people picking the fungus.

 

After ten days, they picked thousands of pounds of white fungus, dried the water from it with charcoal fire, and sealed it all in preservative bags. During this period, Su Yu also became a time management master. When it was her turn to stay at home, she kept taking out ingredients from the space to cook; when she went out to pick the fungus, she smuggled the white fungus into the space, and also picked several hundred pounds more.

 

When the temperature reached minus 30 degrees Celsius, Su Yu found Lin Yiran and stated her purpose. "I want to look for supplies. I can still find some now. When the temperature goes up, it will be very difficult to find anything if everyone goes looking."

 

In fact, she was using the excuse of looking for supplies to find solar generators and freezers. The extreme heat was coming, and there were too few supplies to deal with the extreme heat in the apartment. Without solar generators, diesel generators would not be enough to support the operation of air conditioners and refrigerators, and without these, it could be life-threatening. They also needed freezers, as some of their vegetables and staples could not fit in the refrigerator and needed an additional freezer.

 

Lin Yiran didn't ask what she was looking for, only said, "I'll go with you." Su Yu refused, "No need, I have weapons." Joking, how could she bring someone along and get in the way when she finally had the chance to "shop freely"? She knew that Lin Yiran was a strong-willed person, but she wasn't going to indulge him, and continued, "I've been practicing for so long during this period, and I need to go out and gain some experience. I can't always stand behind you and be protected. Moreover, I have a satellite phone."

 

This statement made Lin Yiran unable to refuse, and he looked at her for a long time before swallowing the words "I want to protect you for a lifetime" and agreeing.

 

The next morning, Su Yu didn't even have breakfast and rushed out excitedly, which made Li Zhun stare in amazement. "Is she in a hurry to reincarnate?" As soon as the words were out, Lin Yiran's icy gaze swept over, and he even spoke with ice chips in his voice, "Shut up if you can't speak properly." Scared, Li Zhun whimpered.

 

Su Yu had no idea what they were talking about. She put on her roller skates and moved quickly forward. Her destination was the department store and the home appliance market. After sliding for nearly two hours, on the way, Su Yu ate some buns, and finally found a large home appliance market. The door of the market was cracked, probably searched by someone before. However, Su Yu wasn't worried. People looking for supplies now wouldn't take electrical appliances, and the resettlement points wouldn't take many either, so she was sure to find what she wanted.

 

She took off her roller skates and walked in confidently. In the large white home appliance market, it was very quiet and spacious, without any trace of people. Su Yu picked out one by one, taking 30 phones of her favorite brands, as well as two tablets and two large mAh chargers for each of Lin Yiran and them. She also went to the back and collected half of the computers, tablets, chargers, batteries, and the like in the warehouse.

 

When the extreme heat came, there would be solar generators, and phone charging would not be a concern. There would be enough with mobile phones and tablets. She could finally watch videos to her heart's content, so she needed to prepare several more of them!

 

Next, Su Yu started the "receive-receive-receive" mode. Seeing TVs, she collected a few! Washing machines, water heaters, heaters, refrigerators, air conditioners, floor fans, and cooling fans were each collected twenty. The freezer she was looking for was also collected more than ten.

 

After Su Yu finished sweeping the first floor, she didn't see the solar generator, so she moved on to the second floor. The second floor was for kitchen and household items and daily household appliances. Su Yu checked one by one, collected a lot of electric rice cookers, pans, soy milk makers, coffee machines, electric ovens, and the like without looking at the brand, and also collected more than twenty massage chairs, smiling happily.

 

After collecting on the second floor, Su Yu looked around again to make sure she couldn't find the solar generator. She went to several other places to look for it, but either she didn't find it or she didn't see the generator. She was about to give up when she had a flash of inspiration. Some large factories would have diesel generators and solar generators on standby. She could go and take a look!

 

Thinking of this, Su Yu looked at the offline map on her phone, found the nearest factory, and rushed over. After an hour, Su Yu found the factory. It had also been "visited" by someone, but Su Yu saw the solar panels on the roof of the factory. She first went into the factory to see if there were any spare generators in the warehouse. Without much effort, she found the solar generator. So, she ran around each factory and could basically find solar generators. However, she didn't see the diesel generator, probably taken away by someone.

 

Su Yu found a large amount of cat litter. Thinking of the embarrassing experience of going to the toilet in the apartment, during the extreme cold period, the sewer was frozen, and Lin Yiran and the others had to seal the toilet with cement. Every time they went to the toilet, they either used a bag or went out to solve it. Although she had a lot of cat litter in the space, she didn't have a reasonable excuse to take it out, so she could only do the same as everyone else, which was really suffering!

 

Now that she had found the cat litter, it would be more decent to go to the toilet in the future. Su Yu simply collected all the cat litter, as well as the snake skin bags. The last factory was an ice cream factory. Although the power was out, the rain and the extreme cold kept the temperature low, and the ice cream didn't melt. They were still frozen hard in the freezer.

 

Fortunately, she came in time, otherwise, it would all melt in the extreme heat. Su Yu waved her hand and collected all the ice cream in the factory, as well as the freezers, and even two production machines for making ice cream. She also found a lot of materials for making ice cream in the warehouse and collected them all.

 

Except for the factory, the surrounding area was getting darker.

 

Today's mission was all accomplished, and Su Yu was ready to head back. She skated all the way quickly, passing some people looking for supplies. When she was about a kilometer away from the apartment, Lin Yiran rushed over to take over her "heavy work".

 

Su Yu was surprised: "Why are you here?" Lin Yiran dragged the things forward, his steps were steady, and he didn't look back: "I just saw you and came to meet you." Su Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
