The blizzard is coming: Start zero-dollar shopping in the apocalypse

Chapter 22 The last hope ignited
In the next two days, everyone helped push the snow in front of the building a little, so that at least the first floor could see the light. This way, the first and second floors could also go home. It was better than living in the corridor. Of course , most people also feel that the cold wave will pass sooner or later, and there is no need to rent a house just for a few months. After all, not all people are rich.

However, as the power supply time gradually shortens, people's hearts and subconscious are actually becoming more and more panicked.

The food shortage has affected most people's lives, but the phone calls of various departments cannot be reached, so there is no way to solve it.

Just when everyone was panicking, the director of Building 401 sent a notice saying that the country would airdrop supplies to each community soon, and that each household would send someone to pick them up with her.

This news is like rain after a long drought, rekindling hope for the suffering people.

Gu Pan knew clearly that the troops in the city were about to withdraw. Before leaving, giving some of their food to the people could be considered their last contribution to the city.

Major troops are going to build bases. The country must have realized by now that this is not a cold wave. To take into account the overall situation, bases must be built. With a base, we can fight against future disasters and protect more human civilization. Without a base, , it is not an exaggeration that humans will become extinct.

But ordinary people don't know this. They all think that if the government airdrops supplies in the future, there will be no shortage of food, so the corridor soon became lively. People from each house were sent to wait at the door of the unit with the building manager.

After a while, the sound of a helicopter sounded, and everyone cheered together, watching with anticipation as the few supplies were dropped into the open space.

After the plane left, the building manager took everyone to the supplies department. Because there was still order, no one was looting. They opened the box together, took out the things, and then distributed them according to the number of people reported by each building manager.

There are 22 households in their building, of which 21 are actually residents. Only Dr. Feng Zhe and Kai Feng’s family live on the 6th floor.

After dividing them up, they carried the things to the door of the unit and distributed them to each family one by one.

Each house has five bottles of mineral water, five packs of compressed biscuits, and five cans of lunch meat, that's all.

After seeing the things, some people were disappointed. Those who came out were the strongest ones in the family, thinking that a lot of things needed to be moved. But when they saw what they saw in front of them, it was really not easy to accept.

The man from 402 looked at this thing and said in a disappointed tone: "This is too little. We have five people in our family. This can only last three days, and our child is only 8 years old. It is not a problem to eat this all the time." ?”

301 The person who came out to get the supplies was also a man: "Yes, our old lady is 70 years old. How can she bear to eat this when the weather is bad?"

The director of Building 401 said to everyone: "The disaster is temporary. The country will not ignore us. When the temperature rises, everything will be fine. We just need to tide over the difficulties together now."

The owner of 802 said with some resentment: "Director, please don't fool us with these things. If you are really doing it for our own good, can you ask 501 to give us some of the frozen vegetables and fruits in her refrigerator? The food I eat is, to put it bluntly, hard to poop.”

Before the building manager could speak, the old lady from 501 hurriedly said: "Our house is gone too. I sold it a few days ago, so don't worry about it all the time." After saying that, she took a box of supplies and hurried upstairs. .

Seeing 501 leave, everyone was not interested anymore, and it was so cold, so they all took their things and went home.

When Gu Pan heard Lu Ruisheng coming back, she opened the door and helped Lu Ruisheng bring the things in. She had experienced it and naturally knew what it was, so she had nothing to be curious about.

At night, there was no electricity, and many homes were extremely cold. The main reason was that there was no hot water. You could just put some hot water in a water bottle and put it under the quilt, and you could survive.

So at night, someone started lighting a fire in the house. They used an iron basin, put unused items on it, and then boiled water. However, they had no experience and the items they used were not good. In addition to the smoke filling the room, they ran to the corridor and did not burn it. Out of the water.

That night, although the community was dark, there were constant sounds, children making noises, old people crying, and couples quarreling. Even though you couldn't see it, you could still feel the tragic scene.The next morning, there were fewer people talking in the group, because many of their mobile phones were out of battery, and some used mobile power supplies. They could still bubble up in the group and ask everyone what they should do.

But what can we do in the ice and snow?Most are still looking forward to national rescue, looking forward to the ice and snow melting, and looking forward to the weather returning to normal.

At noon, Lu Ruisheng received a call from Zhuang Jie.

Zhuang Jie was still very warm and polite: "Brother Lu, we have rented a house. It is in our community, Building 704, Unit [-]. I have packed up here and plan to go see you and your sister-in-law. Are you at home?"

Lu Ruisheng and Gu Pan had already discussed countermeasures before, so he replied: "Don't come here yet. My friend has obtained a batch of supplies. When I get them, your sister-in-law and I will send some to you, young and old. You're so young, don't come out."

Because they have to wait a few days before dealing with Zhuang Jie, and they still have a lot of important things to do in these two days.

Zhuang Jie was very happy when he heard what Lu Ruisheng said: "Okay, Brother Lu, I'll be waiting for you to come."

Lu Ruisheng said: "Okay, I don't have a mobile power supply, so don't call me. If you need anything, send me a message and I'll save some power."

He just wants to know the other person's movements and doesn't want to argue with him.

Zhuang Jie responded understandingly, saying that since he was at home anyway, so they couldn't contact them, they could just go home, and then hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, Lu Ruisheng looked at Gu Pan: "It seems our phone won't be used for a few days, right?"

"Well, anyway, being out of power is not much different from being cut off from the Internet. The mobile power supply can't last more than two days."

"That's true. It's okay. We are together. There is nothing else to worry about. As long as we live well every day in the future."

Because there is no power, either the cell phone cannot be used, or the cell phone has little power and is reluctant to use it. Therefore, if someone in the building has something to do, they will not use the cell phone, but just knock on the door.

In the afternoon, someone knocked loudly on the door of Feng Zhekai's house in 601. Gu Pan could hear the loud voice of the building manager through the door: "Doctor Feng, Dr. Feng, open the door quickly. My mother-in-law has convulsions. Please hurry up." Go and have a look."

Soon Feng Zhekai opened the door, followed by the sound of talking and going downstairs.

Half an hour later, heart-wrenching cries were heard in the corridor.

Gu Pan remembered that the mother-in-law who was the head of Building 401 in her previous life passed away around this time. For a paralyzed old man, it would be a blessing to leave early in the last days.

The first person to die in the previous life was Feng Zhekai. The whole building fell into panic relatively early. In this life, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng saved Feng Zhekai. As a result, only now someone died due to this disaster, and he was an old man, so it was easier for everyone to accept it.

The state had previously issued an order that the dead should be burned on the spot as soon as possible, and the ashes should wait until the temperature rises before being buried.
