In The Last Days Of Natural Disasters, 100 Million A Day Is Frantically Hoarding Goods

Qiao Xiachu stood in front of the window, looking at the scene outside, so familiar, so familiar...

The puddle was directly frozen through, and the thick layer of ice covered everything. The original trees seemed to be frozen in ice at this moment, and they did not move at all.

The stagnant water is yellow, and now it has also been frozen into a layer of ice like yellow rock sugar. Under the white light, it shines with a gray light, which is not very good-looking.

poof.

Someone upstairs threw an iron basin onto the ice, and with a crisp sound, the iron basin was smashed through and flew straight out.

Zoucheng has never been so cold.

Lack of water, electricity, food, and suffering from hunger and thirst for a long time. Now the dirty water is directly frozen into ice, and even the last water source will be deprived. The people in the community feel that they can't live longer.

Qiao Xiachu touched the watch on his wrist, thinking silently in his heart.

She cooked a pot of hot porridge early in the morning, added ginger, dried shrimps, and a few pieces of sweet potatoes to it, the aroma rushed into her nostrils, and even Xiao Hei rubbed against the table.

"Aim~~"

Xiao Hei is hungry.

Qiao Xiachu pulled back his wandering thoughts, pushed aside a sausage, and fed it to Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei is dressed in black hair, still exuding luster, unlike his previous life, where his hair was matted in strands, his belly was so thin that he couldn't even catch a mouse, and he couldn't catch fish in a stinky ditch. live, often walking tremblingly behind her, one person and one cat, keeping each other warm in the last days.

Baha, Baha.

Xiao Hei ate leisurely.

The owner has a good life, and the master cat is the master.

The master is bleak, and the cat is a slave.

It is not as active as a dog. A cat is quiet and docile. It only uses a pair of big eyes to stare at its owner for a moment. When you look at it, you will think that it is in love with you, but the next second, it is ruthless. Turning his head, the six relatives do not recognize...

Qiao Xiachu stroked the cat for a while, then got up to pick up the bowls and chopsticks, enjoying the warmth of the shrimp and sweet potato porridge.

The temperature in the room was not low, and she ate and drank normally as usual without worrying about the food getting cold.

But at this moment, screams came from outside.

"You can go out now, the ice layer can walk, it's very thick, it's not cracked—"

Someone downstairs was calling loudly.

One after another, more and more people gathered on the ice, all dressed like bears, but they were suffocated in the house for more than half a year, and they were about to get sick from boredom.

This was the first time he could move freely.

Residents in the upper floors of the community were wrapped in thick clothes one after another, and some directly covered their bodies with quilts, walking slowly on the ice, feeling the long-lost free time.

However, the ice layer is too cold, even with cotton boots, the cold pours directly into the body from the calf, making the heart cool.

Come out to feel it for a while, and then go back to the house.

However, the water source was frozen, so many people took basins and tried their best to pry some ice back for use.

Some people were also sick with cold, so they wrapped them in blankets and put them in plastic basins. The whole family worked together to drag them towards the hospital.

Qiao Xiachu recalled the situation in the hospital and couldn't help shaking her head.

During the flood season, the hospital was also blocked by water, and people used assault boats, kayaks, or small boats to get in and out, and the equipment was carried to the upper floors of the inpatient department.

But the patients who stayed under the water stayed in the ward forever.

The hospital is in disarray.

The patients, nurses and nurses, and the mob of patients, blocked the entire hospital, crying and howling one after another, and the death rate was astonishing.

After the flood season passed, the hospitals ran out of medicines, supplies were in short supply, and the medical system was slowly collapsing. Even if the top continuously strengthened the medical conditions, the sustainable bad weather cannot be changed by manpower.

Went to the hospital, unable to provide heating, and those with third-degree and fourth-degree frostbite will still be permanently injured.

Originally planned to go to the base today.

But for now, she should take it easy.

After eating the porridge, feeling warm all over, Qiao Xiachu took out another orange from the space, peeled off the skin and threw it back into the space to make fertilizer, and ate it tooth by tooth.

During the flood period of several months, people in the community were short of water and food. Even if they had stockpiled goods at home, they would not have enough to eat for a long time. Some people directly ate fish swimming in the dirty water downstairs, which gradually eased the wave.

However, there is no fresh vegetables and fruits for a long time, and lack of vitamins. Many people's immunity has become weaker and their resistance is getting weaker and weaker. When the ice age comes, the food shortage will be exacerbated, and more and more people will die of cold and disease.

Qiao Xiachu can't control so much, even if she has supplies, she doesn't want to be a virgin for nothing. At this time, once she is exposed, it will only lead to riots, and she will be eaten to nothing.

She just wants to continue to live in this last days, every day is a day.

But this kind of life did not last long.

Five days later, the administrator of the community suddenly appeared on the ice. He was wearing a bloated cotton coat, wrapped in a blanket, and holding a loudspeaker, broadcasting a passage throughout the community:

Dear owners, there is a shelter for survivors on Tiancheng Road. Each household can enter the shelter as long as they provide five catties of rice or flour, sweet potatoes, or other food. There is heating, free accommodation, and work. You can exchange for food stamps, eat in the big canteen, and tide over difficulties together.

Five catties of rice = shelter and heating.

This unequal price, in the past, would definitely be considered a liar.

But now, whichever family has five catties of grain left over is considered a wealthy household.

But in every place, there is no shortage of people with active minds.

During the previous flood period, the houses on the ground floor were submerged, but there were still some food in the house. People like Mao Xiaomiao led people to dive in, salvage all the food soaked in the water, and then sell it at a high price.

There are still many people rushing to buy luxury goods that they usually spend a lot of money to make ends meet.

The arrival of the administrator has brought hope to some people.

"Ah Can, is what you said true? The terrain of Tiancheng Road is indeed high, but it is not much higher than Tianding. How can there be a refuge?"

"Yes, how big is the shelter and how many people can it accommodate?"

"I just want to ask, can I have a baby?"

...

One question after another was thrown.

The administrator, A Can, felt elated.

In the past, he was like his grandson, urging the property owners behind him, but now what is the use of these people, no matter how rich they are, when they encounter disasters, they will become waste one by one, and they need help?

Holding the loudspeaker, he directly avoided the owner's question: "The housing in the shelter is limited, first come, first served. If you arrive late, you will definitely not be able to stay. You can figure it out yourself. If you want to go, just register with me. Everyone will be in a while." Let’s set off together, I’m only here today, and I’m going to another community tomorrow.”

As he spoke, he turned off the horn directly.

The originally noisy neighborhood fell silent for an instant.

The freezing period is coming, food is in short supply, and staying in the community is a dead end. Either go out to find a way out, or look for a shelter similar to the one provided by the above.

Everyone works together to tide over the difficulties.

Maybe there is still hope.

Qiao Xiachu heard the movement outside the door, opened the anti-theft door, and found that Grandma Liu came out with the idiot Ha'er, knocked on her door, and left her the key of their house.

Grandma Liu said: "Girl Qiao, I'm going to take Ha'er out. The more he lives, the more stupid he becomes. It might be better if he wanders around in crowded places. I still have some cold-proof items in my house, and there are still a lot of sauces in the cabinet." Something like that, grandma left it for you."

Qiao Xiachu looked confused.

She didn't remember that there was a refuge on Tiancheng Road.

In the previous life, there were two refuge areas in Zoucheng, one was the first base, and the other was a shanty town where the poor lived.

Neither of these places is on Tiancheng Road.

For a while, she couldn't tell whether it was true or not.

Originally, her biggest advantage lies in two points, one is the space to store enough supplies, and the other is her grasp of the timing of the end-time natural disasters.

But whether it is floods or extreme cold, it is not on her point. This change shows that after rebirth, many things may also change.

Maybe Tiancheng Road really has a refuge.

Qiao Xiachu saw that Grandma Liu was carrying two big suitcases, and Ha'er was also carrying a big net bag. She knew that she couldn't persuade the two of them any longer, so she said, "Well, Grandma Liu and Brother Ha'er should pay attention to safety. If it doesn’t work over there, you come back, I will keep the keys for you, and keep your things for you.”

Mrs. Liu grabbed her coat with a pair of withered hands, suppressed her sadness, and said, "Girl Qiao, you must live on. No matter how difficult it is, life is better than anything else. Once we leave, goodbye may be the next life. Grandma has nothing left for you, this is a box my old man left me, it is useless, you can keep it and think about it."

She handed a box with peeling red paint to Qiao Xiachu.

Qiao Xiachu knew what was in the box.

A rare ring-shaped Jade Jue.

When she lived in Liu's house, every time the old lady shed tears, she would caress the box and said sadly: "This is from my wife's family, and he worked hard to keep it. It contributed to our marriage. It will remind you that the hardships of the past were nothing, and that was the best time..."

"Grandma, I can't have it." Qiao Xiachu refused.

Mrs. Liu pressed her hand, and said gratefully: "Girl, in grandma's heart, you are my own granddaughter. The Liu family will be extinct in Ha'er's generation. If you don't accept her, grandma will leave without peace of mind."

She wants to take Qiao Xiachu with her.

It's just that it's windy and snowy outside, and I don't even know if I can survive. If there is a dead end outside, wouldn't it hurt the little girl.

Hal is a fool anyway, even if the two of them died on the road, they would have no regrets.

Qiao Xiachu once again felt the love of her elders from Mrs. Liu.

She is not without grandma.

It’s just that my mother died early. After Qiao Dongliu’s second marriage, he didn’t even kiss his grandma. In other words, he didn’t have any affection from the beginning. Grandma only liked to dance square dances, flirt with the old man, and play mahjong with the old lady. .

When she went back to her hometown, she never had a bite of hot food cooked by her grandma. She either went to a restaurant or asked her to take the money to eat out.

When natural disasters struck, Qiao Dongliu didn't care about the two old men.

In her previous life, she went back to her hometown once, and her grandparents were afraid that she would snatch the remaining rations, so they pretended not to know her and drove her out.

Qiao Xiachu never wanted to experience the heart-wrenching pain again.

Qiao Xiachu thought for a while, then grabbed the two of them and said, "I have a charcoal hand warmer, you take it with you. Wait for me for a while."

She pretended to get things, pulled out a black bag, put some charcoal in it, and a hand warmer, thought for a while, and took out an electric shock baton.

"Grandma, this is an electric shock prod, you take it with you, just in case." She whispered.

Grandma Liu wanted to refuse.

"Natural disasters strike, and human nature is unreliable. At any time, protecting yourself is always the most important thing. I won't go out for the time being, so I don't need it." Qiao Xiachu said.

There are two electric shock batons in her space, a bunch of weapons, and a poisoned steel needle concealed weapon.

In terms of quantity, it is definitely enough.

Grandma Liu's eyes were moist.

"Grandma, don't cry. It's too cold. If you shed tears, you will get frostbite. You and Brother Ha'er should take good care of you. As long as there is hope, we may see you again." Qiao Xiachu said.

"Okay, okay, okay, kid." Grandma Liu's voice was choked and her nose was sore.

"Sugar, Sister Tangtang——"

Hal smiled silly.

It's also a coincidence that Ha'er is always very irritable when dealing with others, but when he meets Qiao Xiachu, he is always surprisingly well-behaved, showing the softest heart.

Qiao Xiachu took out a few packs of chocolates, stuffed them into Ha'er's pocket, and said, "Eat sparingly, don't finish eating all at once, take good care of grandma on the way, you know?"

"I know, Ha'er, be good, Ha'er listens to my sister..."

Ha'er laughed happily, his eyes squeezed together, his smile was ugly, ugly...

Qiao Xiachu suppressed a trace of sadness in her heart and sent them downstairs.

Yunsu was also in the team.

She took out the last food reserves and joined the migration team.

Tiancheng Road is the westernmost part of Zoucheng, and there is a big river on the periphery. When the frost comes, it is probably the same as the glacier world.

I don't know why the shelter was chosen there.

But since they chose this way, there is no way out, they can only go west all the way.

Qiao Xiachu hugged the box and started to climb the stairs.

She opened it slowly, and there was a warm jade inside, shining brightly in the sun, it was so beautiful.

Judging from my years of experience, Jade Jue is very old, and in normal times, if it is auctioned at an auction house, it can sell for at least 100 to 200 million.

Unfortunately, today is different.

Qiao Xiachu covered the box and put it into the space together.

Above all treasures, as long as there is an outer packaging, the space will be judged as the owner's personal belongings and will not be devoured.

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that Grandma Liu's trip was a narrow escape.

In the previous life, the old lady and Ha'er died in the cold period, and the two of them couldn't sleep at night...

But what if.

There are always exceptions to everything.

If Grandma Liu and Ha Er are lucky enough to survive...

Thinking of this, Qiao Xiachu suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen her little sister Cai Qingya for a long time.

I don't know what's going on.

It is already possible to walk outside, so go and see her directly.

Water Mansion Tianhua is not far from Tianding.

Based on the time, Cai Qingya should have a big belly and she is about to give birth.

She decided to bring two boxes of milk powder and two packs of diapers.

At that time, Cai Qingya, a dead woman, might be very moved.

Before the natural disaster, she secretly conspired with Cai Qingya to hoard so many supplies, and asked her to rent the house above the water level, at least to live a happy life.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xiachu found an unoccupied corner, put on his skates, and skated all the way at high speed.

There are many red and green garbage bags under the ice, rotting hair, animal bones, and all kinds of messy debris, frozen in various strange postures.

Fortunately, the ice is smooth and suitable for sliding.

With enough cold-proof tools, Qiao Xiachu came all the way to Shuifu Tianhua.

After she arrived in the community, she took off her skates, climbed the stairs all the way, and finally came to Cai Qingya's rented house, and knocked hard on the door.

"Qingya opened the door, it's me, Chuchu—"

clatter.

The door was pulled open.

Qiao Xiachu gasped when he saw the person coming.
