In addition, we purchased five tons of high-quality charcoal as a backup, so that we could at least start a fire and cook.

Another one is water. As the source of all things, water is the most indispensable thing for humans, especially in a high-temperature apocalypse, water resources will be even more precious.

He purchased thousands of barrels of bottled water, thousands of cases of mineral water, and also purchased over ten tons of various beverages such as Sprite, Coca-Cola, black tea, Red Bull, green tea, and Wanglaoji.

However, simply hoarding water is not a solution. If the water supply is cut off in the future, it will be a real disaster in such hot weather.

Unlike the countryside, where many families still have their old wells and can still get water even when the tap water is cut off, in the city, it's truly difficult to find a water source when the tap water is shut off.

Even if we could find a few artificial lakes, let alone whether they would be drinkable, most of the water would have evaporated in such high temperatures, leaving very little water.

Therefore, we must find our own living water source.

When Li Mu was a child, there was no tap water in the countryside. Every household had a hand pump well. If they wanted to drink water, they had to manually pump water up from underground through pipes that went deep into the groundwater source.

The water tasted cool and refreshing, much better than the tap water we have now.

Unfortunately, after tap water was introduced, hand pumps were gradually phased out. However, many families still keep them, especially some elderly people who have been used to them their whole lives and cannot get used to tap water, so they still rely on hand pumps for drinking water.

Since tap water is unreliable in the future, drilling two hand pump wells is a good idea.

With this in mind, Li Mu immediately contacted the relevant company to have two hand pump wells dug in the backyard of the villa.

Although it wasn't allowed in the city, Li Mu didn't care at this point. Besides, the villa offered good privacy; if the people didn't complain, the officials wouldn't investigate.

Not only a hand pump well, but also professional water purification and storage equipment are essential, and these will also be installed by the renovation company.

In addition to these physical supplies, spiritual nourishment is also essential.

We made a small-scale purchase of physical books and a large batch of hard drives to download various knowledge and books from the internet.

The hard drives I've downloaded and stored domestic and international films, TV shows, variety shows, etc., are enough to fill a whole box.

There's no way around it; it's spiritual nourishment. As modern people, what if the internet goes down one day? We can't read novels, we can't watch TV series... life would be so boring.

In addition to these, I also bought a lot of electronic devices, including telescopes, high-powered telescopes, cameras, LCD TVs, plasma TVs, and various smart home devices.

In addition, there are still more than twenty desktop computers and laptops, filled with various single-player games, so that they can pass the time even when the internet is offline.

I also have over twenty mobile phones, filled with games, novels, and movies downloaded to them…

……

Thus, it took a week of non-stop work to complete this procurement plan, and the warehouse of over a thousand square meters was filled with goods.

Coincidentally, the interior decoration of the newly purchased medium-sized villa was already completed, and it was ready for immediate move-in. Without hesitation, Li Mu checked out of the hotel and moved in.

Although this villa is not as big as the other one that is being renovated, it still has a building area of ​​over 700 square meters. Such a large area would feel empty if only one person lived there.

Not to mention cleaning and chores, he wouldn't be able to do anything all day if he did it all by himself.

Moreover, there's no one to cook for them, so if they don't want to cook for themselves, they have to eat out every day.

For a moment, I really felt that staying in a hotel was more comfortable.

For the sake of his future quality of life, Li Mu had to consider hiring a housekeeper or nanny.

However, considering the current situation, whether hiring a nanny or a domestic worker, the selection must be made carefully and meticulously.

So Li Mu contacted various domestic service companies in the city, offering them excellent benefits and salaries, and began looking for suitable targets.

Because the salary and benefits offered were high enough, many people were eager to try, making it difficult for Li Mu to choose.

After several rounds of interviews, only two remained. One was Sun Yuan, a woman in her early thirties who was divorced and had no children. Most importantly, she was dignified and quite pretty.

Li Mu didn't stay until the end because Sun Yuan was good-looking. In fact, Sun Yuan graduated with a degree in hotel management and had worked as a middle manager in a five-star hotel.

Later, she switched jobs to a well-known domestic service company in the city, became a top-notch domestic worker, and also a training instructor for domestic service personnel.

Whether it's cooking, housework, or cleaning, she's proficient in everything, making her a well-rounded personal butler.

Normally, someone like that wouldn't work as a domestic service worker on the front lines, but it's mainly because Li Mu paid too much.

Starting salary of 35,000 yuan per month, 18 months' salary per year, full coverage of six insurances and one housing fund, a car worth 300,000 to 500,000 yuan for grocery shopping, and all kinds of benefits.

Such generous terms made countless people eager to try them out. Sun Yuan was also tempted and gave it a try, but unexpectedly she was the last one to be chosen.

The other person who stayed until the end was Liu Yue, a girl in her twenties who graduated with a nursing degree. Not only was she pure and beautiful, but she also had a gentle personality and spoke in a soft, sweet voice.

She's an expert in cooking and housework, and especially in taking care of people; she seems to be able to pamper people in every possible way.

They are both pleasing to the eye and quite capable; there's no reason not to keep them.

So, Li Mu originally planned to hire one person first, but looking at the current situation, he was torn between keeping or not keeping either of them, so he simply decided to keep both of them.

The two women naturally had no objections. With two people taking care of one person, their workload decreased, and they also felt more secure. They signed the contract that very day.

Li Mu kept his promise and took them directly to pick up their grocery shopping carts. After consulting with both of them, he provided Sun Yuan with a Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Liu Yue with a BMW 3 Series, both priced around 400,000 yuan.

With a new car, the two of them were more than satisfied. Plus, with less work, fewer tasks, and more free time, they settled down completely and focused on their work.

Li Mu's quality of life began to rise sharply.

These past few days, besides looking for a housekeeper, he hasn't neglected other matters. For example, after communicating with the Toronto factory, there's finally some progress on the Knight XV issue.

A customer who ordered the top-of-the-line Knight XV suddenly changed his mind, just before it was about to be shipped.

Fearing the Toronto deal would become a liability, and with Li Mu eager to take it over, a contract was quickly signed.

However, Li Mu was not entirely satisfied with the Knight XV. There were many materials and functions that needed to be added. Li Mu wanted to transform it into a civilian version of a land combat vehicle with multiple functions.

However, with so many modifications, it will probably take two months to reach Yun City.

Besides the Knight XV, Li Mu also set his sights on a super motorhome, the Mercedes-Benz Centurion 1200, which can be said to be one of the world's top motorhomes.

This motorhome is 12 meters long, 2.5 meters wide, and 4 meters high, with a wheelbase of 5.8 meters and weighs 26 tons. It is equipped with a 12.8-liter diesel engine, with a maximum output of approximately 530 horsepower and a maximum torque of 1900 Nm…

In addition to its powerful off-road capabilities, some netizens have even called this car a doomsday vehicle, because it can still live a decent life in extreme natural environments by relying on its configuration and circulation system.

Although this car is mass-produced in Germany, it still needs to be ordered in advance to add various functions and accessories.

It took Li Mu more than 12 million yuan to get things done. After about two months of modifications, the car will be delivered to China.

After finishing all that, the hand pump well was completed.

Compared to rural hand pump wells, which are only a dozen meters deep and have small water pipes with a diameter of only three or four centimeters, these wells are much better.

To prevent the depletion of shallow groundwater, the two hand pump wells were drilled to a depth of 150 meters at once, and the water-lifting pipes are more than ten centimeters in diameter.

Naturally, under such circumstances, ordinary hand pumps are no longer sufficient to draw water, and only high-powered pumps can be used.

This is exactly what Li Mu hoped to see. As long as the water pump is installed in place and the water purification system and storage system are connected, there will be no fear of running out of water in the future.

In the afternoon, the water pump was installed and tested. A stream of clear water immediately gushed out, and it was cool and refreshing, which was especially pleasant in the current hot weather.

Taking a sip, it tastes better than tap water, with a natural flavor.

Chapter 464 Heavy Rain and Flood

As the days passed, it was already mid-November. The temperature not only did not drop, but instead became hotter and hotter, with the highest temperature on some days even approaching 40 degrees Celsius.

Li Mu didn't know when the high-temperature apocalypse would fully arrive, so he could only try his best to prepare.

In particular, regarding weapons, he found a reputable weapons workshop online and ordered a batch of cold weapons.

A batch of recurve bows and compound bows were also custom-made at a high price. In the real world, the Muwu Sports Club itself has an archery program, and Li Mu often goes there to play, so his skills are quite good.

In the past few days, he found a reputable sports club in Yun City and has been practicing there frequently, which has led to a rapid improvement in his archery skills.

In addition, the visa has been approved, and the long-awaited firearms can finally be purchased.

Li Mu spent a week traveling abroad and purchasing a large quantity of firearms through the underground black market before quietly returning to Yun City.

It's best to avoid using these firearms if possible.

……

Before we knew it, it was late November, already deep autumn, and winter was just around the corner, yet the weather outside was getting hotter and hotter.

Today's high temperature reached 41 degrees Celsius, and the internet has exploded with heated discussions among countless netizens about such extreme weather, with all sorts of rumors circulating everywhere.

Li Mu went for a run in the morning and was covered in sweat. By noon, as soon as he stepped out of the villa, he felt a wave of heat. The sun was blazing and baking the earth.

Relevant departments have also issued a high-temperature warning, and all outdoor work has been suspended.

However, for the insulation renovation work on Li Mu's villa, in order to speed up the progress and earn more bonuses, the decoration company not only did not stop work, but also transferred a large number of workers who had stopped working on outdoor projects in other places to speed up the renovation process.

To help the workers cool off, Li Mu specially purchased a large number of fans and a refrigerator full of cold drinks.

……

As for Li Mu, he doesn't plan to go out in this hot weather.

The central air conditioning blew out a cool breeze. On the second floor of the villa, Li Mu looked out at the sweltering heat outside the window and at the overwhelming news online, especially the short videos, where many people were ignoring the scorching weather and starting to hoard supplies.

After scrolling through his phone for a while, Sun Yuan came over with a pot of tea and poured him a cup: "Sir, please have some tea."

Li Mu nodded: "Thank you for your help."

He picked up the teacup and took two sips: "Not bad."

Sun Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, sir."

As she spoke, she glanced at Li Mu and said again, "Sir, the weather is so abnormal right now. I just went online and saw that many places are panic buying and hoarding supplies. Should we also stock up on some?"

"While the panic buying in our Yun City hasn't spread yet, Liu Yue and I can drive to the supermarket and take the opportunity to buy a batch."
