Chapter 65: It's Been a Long Time Since I've Seen Daybreak

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Du Yue took out three humidifiers from her space. The temperature came suddenly, and she only cared about keeping warm. She had forgotten that there were so many heating devices in the small bedroom that the air would become dry very soon.

Therefore, humidifiers were a must if she did not want to get a nosebleed from the dry air.

Du Yue took off her jacket and pants and lay on the bed. The blankets were already warm because of the electric blanket, and with the furry four-piece set, the bed was extremely comfortable to lie in. Du Yue did not like light duvets or down duvets. She preferred heavier cotton duvets.

The thick cotton was not only warm, but it also gave people a sense of security. There was a cashmere blanket on top of the cotton blanket, so Du Yue did not feel cold at all.

The tablet was placed on the small table beside the bed, and it was playing a funny crosstalk program. Du Yue fast-forwarded the video to the part she liked to watch and watched it while lying on her side on the bed. Perhaps it was because she had eaten too much earlier and the house was warm, Du Yue soon felt sleepy.

When Du Yue opened her eyes again, the crosstalk program on the tablet was still playing. Du Yue looked at the time on her tablet. It was already seven in the morning. Usually, she would have just fallen asleep at this time, but today, she had already woken up.

After she woke up, Du Yue snuggled under the blankets and lazed around in bed for a while before she found her fleece pajamas and put them on. The first thing she did was add charcoal to the furnace. She opened the furnace and saw that the charcoal inside was about to be burned out, leaving only a thin layer of sparks at the bottom.

Du Yue did not waste any time and quickly added charcoal to the furnace. She was secretly calculating in her heart. It seemed like she would have to add charcoal every night before she slept in the future. Fortunately, there were other heating devices in her room. If she had only relied on the remaining heat of the charcoal in the furnace, she would probably have frozen long ago.

Du Yue glanced at the thermometer hanging on the wall. It showed that the current temperature was 10 degrees above zero. The furnace had not completely taken effect yet. Once the fire in the furnace continued to burn for two days, the temperature in the room would be a little warmer. Du Yue was not greedy. She was satisfied as long as the temperature could reach above 15 degrees.

In fact, 15 degrees Celsius was quite cold under normal circumstances. But in this situation, 15 degrees was considered very warm compared to the outside, which was dozens of degrees below zero. After experiencing two apocalypses, Du Yue understood one thingone must be content to be happy.

After she was done with the furnace, Du Yue planned to go straight to the bathroom after she left the bedroom. She knew that the water pipes were frozen and she could not use the toilet. However, even if she had to use cat litter to solve the hygiene problem, she had to do it in the bathroom. It was not that she was a clean freak, but the thought of going to the bathroom in the living room or bedroom made her feel like an animal.

Du Yue put on her hat and mask tightly. She even put on a thick pair of cotton gloves. Then, she carefully placed her hand on the bedroom door handle and twisted the door open. The doors and windows of the house were tightly shut, so the wind from outside naturally could not enter. However, the moment she opened the bedroom door, Du Yue still felt a bone-piercing chill coming at her. It was so cold that she found it difficult to breathe.

Du Yue stood at the door and hesitated for a moment. She gritted her teeth, closed the bedroom door, and ran to the bathroom. In less than three minutes, Du Yue ran out of the bathroom and ran back to the bedroom. Du Yue took out her toiletries. As she brushed her teeth, she thought to herself, I have to choose somewhere else to attend to Mother Nature's calls. As for washing up, forget about it.' If she had to wash up in the bathroom, Du Yue felt that she might not even be able to open her mouth when she brushed her teeth, and the water she used to brush her teeth would freeze. Just the thought of it gave Du Yue goosebumps. It was too cold.

After washing up, Du Yue applied face cream and hand cream on herself. Although the temperature in the bedroom was not low, she could not be lazy in taking the necessary precautions. Du Yue had a bowl of hot noodles and a herbal tea egg for breakfast. Du Yue's body warmed up as soon as she finished the steaming bowl of noodles.

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Du Yue's interest was piqued. She walked to the window, pulled open the curtains, and looked outside. For the past year, Du Yue had been sleeping during the day. It had been a long time since she had seen the sun rise. At this moment, the light outside was bright and dazzling, and her vision was unobstructed. She even felt a little dazed. However, it did not take long for her to come back to her senses. Although there was no hot sun and glaring light, the snow had trapped people in their homes. There was no one outside.
