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

Chapter 66
Recently, some people in the community went to the park's lake to cut ice and fish, and they were able to catch some fish. However, after all, there were not many fish in the city's lakes, which was okay at first. But as more people went there, they couldn't catch any more.

I wanted to go to the big river outside the city, but the snow blocked the way and I couldn't get out at all.

The city these days is full of all kinds of people, with all kinds of moods. Some people still have some valuable things, and they secretly exchange them for food.

Those who don’t have anything valuable and are still timid will search the places that everyone else has searched, thinking of trying their luck.

Those who have nothing but are still bold start to steal and rob, almost dying, and the bottom line of people is lowered again and again.

Soon it was New Year's Eve, and Gu Pan and the others had made an appointment in advance to celebrate the New Year together at Cheng Yang's house. He said that he wanted to make his family more popular after being alone for a long time.

I plan to use the generator today for a while, until early in the morning. It is the Chinese New Year, so today will be somewhat special.

When it got dark, Gu Pan and the others gathered at Cheng Yang's house to make dumplings tonight. It wasn't because they liked eating them or not, but because it made it more festive for everyone to be together.

Of course, we have to cook, grill, and make small hot pots. There are not so many rules at this time. It is the Chinese New Year, so we really need to indulge.

Gu Pan also brought wine over in an insulated box.

Duan Shumei mixed the noodles, Lu Xuerong mixed the stuffing, and Gu Pan mixed the cold dishes. She brought the spicy stuffing bag.

The vegetables are cabbage, potatoes, radishes, etc. Even if they say they come from a friend's cellar, they won't doubt that other vegetables can't be stored for such a long time.

Then the spicy mix also contains soaked kelp, fungus, and gluten.

As soon as it was done, Gu Pan asked Chen Lang to taste it, but the child couldn't control it after tasting it: "Brother Cheng Yang, try it quickly, it's the taste of your dreams."

Cheng Yang, who was setting up the barbecue grill, ran over and after taking a bite, he looked at Gu Pan with bright eyes: "I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore, this taste is going to suck my soul away, I have to take another bite."

Chen Lang also said: "I have to take another bite."

Duan Shumei looked at them with a smile: "You guys won't wait to eat, you will be full in a while."

Gu Panxiao also smiled and said: "Teacher Duan, it's Chinese New Year, let them indulge for a day." After saying that, he said to Lu Ruisheng: "Ruisheng, help me fry the chicken."

Lu Ruisheng brought over the half-finished fried chicken: "I'll fry it, don't get burned by the oil."

Gu Pan didn't argue and stood to the side: "Then I'll put it on the plate."

As soon as the smell of fried chicken came out, Chen Lang jumped up again: "It's really great to celebrate the New Year. It would be great if we could celebrate the New Year every day in the future."

Chen Shaonan said with a smile: "When I was a child, my family was poor, so every time during the Chinese New Year, I would be like this kid, eating and drinking happily. In recent years, conditions have improved, and I don’t feel much about the Chinese New Year anymore. I can eat whatever I want, but I didn’t expect to be reincarnated again. went."

Feng Zhekai said: "Yes, actually sometimes I really miss my childhood. Although I was not wealthy at that time, I had good people and lived a solid life."

It was quite interesting when the older ones talked about the past in the 90s and [-]s, and Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were also very happy to hear it.

After they woke up, they gathered around the table and started making dumplings. They all participated in the process, both for good luck and for fun.

Gu Pan took out the tablet, cast the screen on the TV, and started playing the Spring Festival Gala of previous years. At this moment, they really wanted to go back to the pre-apocalypse.

At midnight, Lu Ruisheng took Chen Lang and Cheng Yang downstairs to set off fireworks.

In the originally quiet community, everyone stood at the window to see such gorgeous fireworks. It may be less than once to see such gorgeous fireworks.This night, Gu Pan and the others put down all the burdens in their hearts and spent the New Year in peace and contentment.

Early the next morning, they all greeted the New Year on the walkie-talkie, and then made an appointment to go out for a walk together.

It is also a custom to go for a walk on the first day of the new year. Of course, they also want to seek good luck. The more times like this, the more superstitious people seem to be.

After killing Li Dong, Gu Pan and the others became famous in this area, and their neighborhood became safer, so the people in the neighborhood also respected them.

When they go out, everyone they meet greets them, nodding and bowing, for fear of offending them.

In fact, Gu Pan never wanted to be the king and hegemony, but now even if they don't express it this way, others are bringing it in.

Until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, they did not go out to search for supplies, nor did they train. They just took a complete vacation.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone's vegetables have grown quite tall. The lettuce at Gu Pan's house is two inches tall. It is Cheng Yang's first time to grow vegetables, and they are growing well, especially the chicken feather vegetables. It can be eaten in five or six days. Of course, this is due to Lu Xuerong’s guidance.

In the evening, Gu Pan looked at the thermometer at home. The temperature had risen two degrees compared to yesterday. She counted the days and thought it would get warmer.

She called Lu Ruisheng to discuss the next plague and prepare in advance.

The plague includes germs caused by the corrosion of dead bodies and garbage at high temperatures, and the breeding of a large number of red-eyed rats. Even if it does not cause plague, it will become a vector of plague. If you eat the corpse and then touch or bite someone, it will be fatal.

During the plague in their previous life, they were fortunate to have high-efficiency masks N95 and KN100 at home.

The decoration work was very dusty. When Lu Ruisheng went to the construction site for carpentry work, he would wear such masks, so he kept a lot of them at home. At that time, they wore masks every day and slept in turns at night to avoid being bitten by mice. Once they got infected, Plague, then there is no possibility of survival.

This time, they have stored a lot of rat poison, as well as masks, gas masks, protective clothing, etc.

Once the weather gets warmer, they plan to use supplies to replace the only two households upstairs and control everything from the sixth floor up. Although Li Dong and the others have an entire building left, they are not as comfortable as at home. They Since I can hold on to this place, I naturally want to stay at home.

Then they blocked the stairs on the sixth floor and all the up and down pipes with cement.

Then put rat poison in the stairwell, and they would not go out unless necessary, because it is easy to catch the plague if they go out, and it is better to be safe at home when there is something useful to eat.

After discussing the details and how to tell the neighbors, they went to bed.

The temperature rose a lot the next day. The survivors were very happy when they felt the rising temperature, and more people went out.

Everyone began to talk about whether the climate should return to normal and whether the apocalypse was coming to an end.

Early in the morning, Cheng Yang called them on the intercom, saying that the temperature had risen by almost ten degrees in the past few days, and asked everyone to go downstairs to feel the warm sunshine.

Gu Pan quickly called everyone to go to 901 for a meeting.

When we arrived at 901, Gu Pan spoke first: "Everyone can feel the temperature rising, and it will come soon, right?"

Cheng Yang said: "Yes, maybe the apocalypse is coming to an end. The temperature rises ten degrees a day. After five or six days, it may be above zero. Then spring will bloom..."

"It's not as beautiful as you think." Gu Pan interrupted him and continued: "There are so many frozen corpses and garbage outside, and there is so much snow. Once it melts, it will definitely be a disaster."
