The Apocalypse Survival Manual (Three Days Before Doomsday, I Stockpiled Billions) novel Chapter 250

Chapter 250

Derek and Victor happened to be off duty that day, so Nicole left Poppy and Cola in their care before reminding them, “Gabrielle, have you noticed the temperature’s been rising lately? It’s already gone up a few dozen degrees.”

Gabrielle nodded repeatedly. “I was just about to tell you the same thing. The weather station picked it up, too. They think the deep freeze may end very soon.”

Nicole pretended to ask casually, “Did they say what kind of weather comes next?”

“Hard to say.” Gabrielle sighed. “But if the weather keeps warming up, all this ice is definitely going to melt. Let’s just hope we don’t get hit with another typhoon or flood. We can’t survive much more of this.”

Nicole deliberately played dumb. “Does it seem like the snowfall’s getting lighter these past couple days?

Gabrielle hated the cold and hadn’t gone outside for days, but Nicole’s words immediately made her

think.

“If the temperature keeps rising, the snow could stop anytime. Once that happens, collecting water won’t be so easy anymore.” She turned serious. “Nicole, better safe than sorry. We should start storing more

water now.”

Nicole nodded obediently. “You’re right. We’ll start once we get back.”

After the two of them left, Gabrielle immediately reminded Lydia, “See if you can trade for water tanks or storage barrels. Who knows what’s coming next? We need to prepare ahead of time.”

Food was still tight everywhere, but the Goodmans had already harvested three rounds of cold-resistant potatoes. Compared to most survivors, they were living fairly well.

Gabrielle made the decision on the spot.

“If we have to, we’ll trade potatoes for them.”

At the same time, she warned Derek and Victor seriously.

“Don’t just bury yourselves in work all day. The weather’s changing, so pay attention to news and rumors. If we hear something even half a day earlier than everyone else, it might be enough to save this family.”

Victor agreed immediately “The climate researchers are predicting extreme heat, but they haven’t confirmed it yet, so nothing’s been officially announced.”

“Extreme heat?” Gabrielle’s heart skipped a beat

“If they’re not sure, of course, they can’t announce it publicly Otherwise, the lower districts would panic.

Still the signs were obvious

The agricultural institutes had been working nonstop on heat-resistant crops That alone proved the

government already suspected something.

Gabrielle knew exactly how many supplies the family had left. She stared at Lydia and said firmly, “As the weather keeps warming up, you can’t keep doing your current job. Spend the next few days looking for cooling supplies instead, especially disinfectant products.”

Once the frozen ice melted under scorching temperatures, all the corpses and trash trapped in the water would rot rapidly. An epidemic was almost inevitable.

Just imagining it made Gabrielle’s scalp tingle.

Life was getting harder with every passing day.

She had to keep living. If she died someday, God knows what would happen to the three blockheads in her family.

Nicole’s shopping list was long and random enough that even Weasel looked confused after reading it.

“Got any of this stuff?” she asked.

“Anything you want, I’ll find a way to get it.”

Weasel grinned automatically out of habit, but the moment he looked closely at the list, his expression

froze.

“Wait, what do you even need this stuff for? None of it is useful.”

Nicole only looked at him with a half-smile and said nothing.

Weasel instantly realized he had slipped into old habits again.

The more familiar he got with someone, the more he liked chatting nonsense.

But still… Secondhand fans, used mini fridges, saltpeter, stainless steel mesh screens, mosquito repellent, bug spray, water storage tanks…

What kind of bizarre shopping list was this?

“We can get all of it. The electronics can even be brand new.”
