In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

After finishing the bowl of hot soup noodles, Old Zhang finally felt some warmth in his body and wasn't as cold anymore.

He let his wife and son go into a smaller bedroom and only turned on one electric heater for warmth, while he put on his army coat and thick gloves and went outside.

His first move was to desperately knock on his neighbor's door, worried that his neighbor would freeze to death.

"Old Lu, Old Lu, open the door!" Old Zhang knocked hard on the door, but there was no response from inside, which made Old Zhang's heart sink involuntarily.

Just as he was about to pry the door open to check the situation, the door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties appeared wearing an army coat. The man's face was pale from the cold, and he couldn't even speak, shivering all over.

"Old Lu, you almost scared me to death! I thought you didn't make it through!" Old Zhang said with a smile and a scold.

At this time, Old Lu was so frozen that he couldn't speak, and his teeth chattered.

Old Lu's wife and children were also shivering from the cold and couldn't move.

Old Zhang had no choice but to bring hot water from home and give each of the family of three a gulp, which helped them recover a little, but they were still very cold.

"Old... Old Zhang, it's too... too cold!" Old Lu said, shivering.

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and make a fire to keep warm! It's minus twenty degrees, this is no joke. I have to go see how others are doing." After Old Zhang finished speaking, he hurried to knock on the doors of every household in the building.

Fortunately, their community had sufficient supplies, so there were no large-scale deaths from freezing, but there were still more than a dozen households where elderly people died unexpectedly.

At this time, Old Zhang's walkie-talkie rang, "Old Zhang, come over immediately, prepare for a meeting to discuss important matters!"

Old Zhang responded and walked out of the building door. As soon as he went out, a gust of cold wind hit him in the face.

"Cough cough cough..." The stimulation made Old Zhang cough straight. When the cold wind blew on his face, Old Zhang felt as if his face was being cut by a knife. It was too damn uncomfortable.

He tightened his army coat and ran directly towards Building 6. At this time, the snow outside had fallen to the point where it was over the instep, and Old Zhang ran towards Captain Wu's Building 6, taking deep and shallow steps.

After entering Captain Wu's house, he felt a little warmth, at least it wasn't as cold as outside, and his face, which had been frozen numb, felt a lot better.

At this time, there were more than twenty people standing in Captain Wu's living room, all of whom were building leaders and core members of the community security team.

Old Zhang glanced at everyone and saw that everyone was wrapped in thick clothes, basically wrapping all the clothes they could on their bodies, and everyone was still shivering.

Even Old Zhang felt a little numbness in his heart. At this time, Captain Wu spoke, "Quick, everyone, quickly drink some ginger soup to warm up!"

His wife brought up a pot of ginger soup, and everyone held a disposable cup. After the ginger soup was poured into the cups, they felt a lot better holding the warm cups in their hands.

Some people took a small sip from time to time, and the spicy ginger soup gradually warmed everyone's bodies, making them feel a lot better.

Soon a charcoal brazier was lit in the living room, and everyone squatted around the charcoal brazier, putting their hands over the brazier to warm themselves, and began to discuss what to do next.........

While Old Zhang and the others were still struggling in the apocalypse, Li Ming had already made all the preparations and holed up in the base. The temperature inside his base was 26 degrees all year round, and no matter how cold it was outside, it had little to do with him.

Li Ming released multiple drones and used satellites to explore the situation outside.

The entire city was covered in goose feather snow.

For southern cities, this kind of goose feather snow is definitely rare, because under normal circumstances, the snowfall here basically melts quickly as the snowflakes land, and it will not be compacted by various vehicles like in the north, and finally become as smooth as an ice surface.

But now, after the snow fell to the ground, it didn't melt, but began to accumulate.

At this time, the cold wind was raging everywhere, making a sound like ghosts crying and wolves howling. With the wind and snow, the line of sight was blurred, and soon the entire city became a world covered by heavy snow.

Li Ming looked at the wind and snow outside. At this time, he was very clear that many people would definitely not survive last night.

Malga City, a city with an average winter temperature of around minus 1 degree, and a historical minimum temperature of only minus five degrees, suddenly dropped to the current minus 20 degrees in winter when down jackets can't be worn for long.

This is definitely a disaster!

The cold itself is terrible, but what is more terrible than the cold is extreme hypothermia.

Extreme hypothermia refers to the phenomenon that the body's ability to generate heat and keep warm is less than the ability to dissipate heat for a long time in an extremely cold environment, leading to a gradual decrease in body temperature.‌ The main causes of hypothermia are low environmental temperature, humidity, and lack of warmth measures.‌

Hypothermia can lead to a series of symptoms, including chills, confusion, and cardiopulmonary failure.

If not treated in time, hypothermia can lead to serious health problems or even death.

The reason why extreme cold is now causing large-scale human deaths is not simply the cold, but extreme hypothermia.

Regarding extreme hypothermia, many elderly people in the north often experience more intense contraction and movement of the heart and blood vessels in winter due to a sudden drop in temperature than usual.

In addition, the elderly themselves have weakened and aging physical functions. This is why the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the north is higher than usual every winter, especially deaths caused by acute cerebral infarction and acute myocardial infarction.

Li Ming was in a bad mood at this time, because many ordinary survivors may not be able to survive this night. The temperature dropped by 10 degrees overnight, plus there was not enough hot food, charcoal, coal and other materials, it is estimated that many people could not survive.

At this time, it was snowing heavily outside, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

Because the entire city seemed to have become a dead city overnight, without a trace of vitality, and no figure could be seen.

Malga City, this city has changed from the most prosperous super first-tier city of the empire to a city that looks almost like a ghost city in just two months!

The fragility of human civilization and the cruelty of the apocalyptic world were completely embodied at this moment.

God knows how many survivors closed their eyes and never opened them again, never waking up in their sleep.

They were lucky, because they were finally liberated from this great purgatory of the apocalypse.

Many people saw the rain stop, the sky clear, and the sun come out the day before they died.

Some people were even dreaming, dreaming of the restoration of human civilization and urban civilization.

They must have been very happy before going to bed and full of hope for the future, just like the little girl selling matches, leaving the world sweetly.........
