Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

It’s the 54th hour since the extreme cold arrived.

6:50 AM

This was the third day that Gu Tongwan and Luo Mei were trapped in the store. This was also the day when they decided not to wait for rescue anymore and set off.

"Luo Mei, are everything ready?" Gu Tongwan was checking what she was wearing. Although she was still wearing the same down jacket, she pretended to go to the bathroom while Luo Mei was asleep at night. She actually secretly ran to the space to change her underwear, and also took a short ten-minute shower in the space.

Although she could wipe her body after boiling hot water in the utility room, it was still a little difficult for her, a southerner, to adapt to not taking a shower for three consecutive days and just wiping herself. Even though she hadn't sweated or had her period in the past few days, Gu Tongwan still felt that she had to wash herself from head to toe to feel comfortable.

Luo Mei was checking the things in her bag. The backpack in her hand was a second-hand one that Gu Tongwan found in the utility room. It had been unused because there was a problem with the strap and he had no time to repair it. After it was found, it was repaired and used again by Luo Mei. It was also a good opportunity for Luo Mei to carry some things on the road.

"Compressed biscuits, disinfectant, lighters, matches, bandages and Band-Aids, multi-functional fruit knife, wrench, flashlight, life rope..." Luo Mei couldn't help but repeat it in her mouth as she checked, as if she would not make any mistakes if she did so.

"Put on the hot-water baby patches. The temperature outside is different from here. It's best to put foot warmers in your shoes, otherwise your feet will easily get frostbite in the low temperature." Gu Tongwan was putting foot warmers in her shoes. Not only that, she had at least a dozen hot-water baby patches all over her body, on her back, waist, thighs, and even stomach.

"Oh, okay." Luo Mei was reluctant to use it at first, but after hearing what Gu Tongwan said, she had no choice but to take off her shoes and stuff the foot warmers into them.

"Drink some water before you leave, but don't drink too much, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go to the toilet on the way." Gu Tongwan looked at the boiling water on the stove and added, "By the way, put some ginger sugar water in the thermos later. If you are really thirsty or too cold on the way, drink a few sips. This will make your body feel more comfortable."

"Got it." Luo Mei lowered her head to fix her shoes and then quickly sorted out the underwear she had changed in the past two days. She was still wearing the disposable underwear given to her by Gu Tongwan. She still remembered that when she saw Gu Tongwan take it out of the backpack, she felt a little incredible. She always felt that her boss could always come up with something unexpected.

In fact, I asked Luo Mei to pack the things she would take with her for the next day last night. In addition, the things in the store that were going to be given away as gifts were also dealt with. I took four portions of flour and rice each, each weighing about three kilograms. I also took twenty kilograms of potatoes, twenty kilograms of sweet potatoes, and twenty kilograms of taro. There were not many canned meats left, so I only took six cans. The rest were the potato vermicelli that I had eaten in the past two days.

Considering that the journey would take quite a while, in addition to some practical tools and a water bottle, Gu Tongwan also brought compressed biscuits, some bread, a lot of chocolate and Snickers, and of course two boxes of self-heating rice.

Even Luo Mei's backpack was stuffed with two boxes of self-heating rice, but because the packaging had been torn off, Luo Mei didn't know that the production date of the self-heating rice was four years ago. The supply and marketing cooperative also sold self-heating rice after the weather turned cold, but it was expensive. A box of ordinary self-heating rice with potatoes and meat cost one hundred yuan. At this price, only the guard teams with high incomes and long-term field missions and some special units and departments would consider buying it. Ordinary people couldn't imagine that a box lunch would consume two or three days' income.

In addition to the food, there were about 20 kilograms of charcoal left. There was no way to divide it up, so Gu Tongwan decided to leave it all to Luo Mei's family. After all, according to Luo Mei, her family's charcoal would not last for a few days.

After everything was prepared, Luo Mei and Gu Tongwan put the organized things into boxes respectively, packing a total of four cardboard boxes.

It has been dark outside and it has not cleared up for several days. Even during the day, the entire base is gloomy due to the continuous snowstorms.

At around 8:30, there was finally some light outside, and the blizzard seemed to have subsided a little, at least I could see what was happening outside from the window.

"Okay, let's go." Gu Tongwan tightened the strap of the backpack with his fingers, and there was determination in his voice.
