Sealed Heart and Locked Love: I was reborn to stock up before the apocalypse

In the ice and snow, a group of people were braving the cold wind and cutting down a row of tall dead trees beside the road.

These trees were originally roadside trees along the urban roads. Most of the tree species are camphor trees, and some are sycamore trees.

It took them decades of exposure to wind and rain and sunshine to grow to a height of more than ten or twenty meters, with a thick trunk and upright branches and leaves.

However, after the extreme cold, these trees were quickly frozen to death, their leaves fell off, their branches became bare, and they slowly became dry.

In this white ground, the bare tree trunks are all covered with a layer of white ice.

White and crystal, like huge dry bones, they stand upright in the city, announcing the end of civilization.

......

The group of tree cutters were divided into eight groups, with each group consisting of six to ten people. They were busy working under eight big trees, with a distance of twenty to thirty meters between them.

They took axes and saws and chopped hard at the tree trunks half a meter above the snow.

This group of people came out from the Central Garden Community. They came to the roadside not far outside the community. The roadside trees here were lined up next to each other, which was enough for them to use for a long time.

Everyone was grouped according to the building they lived in. Each building chose a tree. The firewood from this tree was enough for the entire building to use for three or four days, and there might even be some left over.

Lin Ling was also among this group of people, but she did not take any action at this moment.

The people in Building No. 6 aimed at a camphor tree. Four or five people were chopping it down now. When someone got tired, Lin Ling would take over.

On the way out, Jin Yunlu had already told Lin Ling who the two brothers leading Building No. 8 were. One was named Xu Jiarong and the other was named Xu Jiayao.

Jin Yunlu also pointed out these two people to Lin Ling. They were walking at the front of the crowd.

It’s a pity that Lin Ling had never heard of their names and didn’t know them.

Moreover, when she came here, the scene when she passed by Building No. 3 made Lin Ling shake her head secretly. She didn't think these people were a match for Wang Tianba's group.

You still have to rely on yourself!

However, since Lin Ling was already here, she didn't want to be treated specially, so she just cut down some trees with everyone else.

Someone took over, Lin Ling took the axe and went closer to the tree.

The sound of "bang~bang~bang~" rang out as Lin Ling swung the axe, one after another, maintaining a steady speed and very rhythmic.

With Lin Ling's physical fitness, she can cut down the tree by herself.

After chopping continuously for thirty minutes, a gap of nearly one-third of the depth had been cut into the side of the tree in front of Lin Ling.

The person who had retired to rest earlier only chopped for less than twenty minutes before he got tired.

Lin Ling stopped the axe in his hand, took a few steps back, and looked at the progress of the two people chopping down the tree opposite. It was still a long way to go before they had finished one-third of the tree.

Lin Ling stepped aside and went to rest.

The person taking over behind him saw the big gap in the tree, turned back to look at Lin Ling, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Is this person who knows martial arts so much better than everyone else?"

However, he still obediently picked up the axe and continued chopping.

......

Cutting down the big tree is only the first step. After that, the branches of the tree must be pruned and the main trunk must be divided.

The trees chosen by people in different buildings were dozens of meters apart from each other. They were worried that the trees would fall and hit people, and they were also worried about disputes arising over the wood.

The branches are chopped into small pieces one meter long and finally gathered into bundles of firewood.

The main trunk was divided into two pieces, two or three meters long, and each piece required two people to carry back.

Except for occasionally stopping to rest, Lin Ling was busy with everyone throughout the whole process.

After three hours of busy work, Lin Ling felt more and more that her physical fitness had really improved!

Although the intensity of the work was not very high, it had lasted for two or three hours, but Lin Ling herself did not feel tired at all!

Lin Ling couldn't help but sigh, the magic of that breath! She was right to call it 'spiritual energy'!

......

At five o'clock, all the people who had been busy under the eight big trees had finished.

Lin Ling also carried a large bundle of firewood on his back.

The people in the building were quite respectful. Several men carried the main trunks, while Lin Ling, Jin Yunlu, Wang Ruoyun and others carried bundles of branches.

Everyone gradually gathered together, but no one was in a hurry to return to the community.

The two brothers from Building 8 walked to the front of the crowd and put down the bundles of firewood on their shoulders.

The man named Xu Jiarong stood on a felled wooden stake, making him taller than everyone else present.

Xu Jiarong looked at everyone in front of him. He took off his scarf so that everyone could see what he looked like: a man with a firm gaze and a stern face.

Xu Jiarong was in no hurry to speak, and no one in front of him spoke either.

Lin Ling glanced at Xu Jiarong who was standing in front of her in the crowd, wondering what he was going to say.

Xu Jiarong spoke up: "I am Xu Jiarong, the director of our Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau!"

After saying this, he scanned the crowd with his tiger eyes, looking very majestic.

At this time, Lin Ling heard someone beside her whisper disdainfully: "It should be the deputy director."

Lin Ling was speechless and shook her head.

Xu Jiarong continued in front:

"The snowstorm is ruthless, but people are kind! Right now, the higher-ups don't have time to rescue us. But we need to take the initiative! We have to save ourselves!"

"Wang Tianba from Building No. 3! He has committed numerous murders! I can tell you responsibly that he will be finished sooner or later!"

"Don't be afraid, there are so many of us. As long as we are united, follow me! We will definitely be able to defeat the snowstorm!"

"Good! Good!" Sparse cheers came from the crowd.

This is different from what Xu Jiarong had originally imagined. He thought that after his speech, everyone would be excited and rush to support him!

But he didn't know! In this extreme cold, everyone had little to eat and was cold, and had been tortured by this natural disaster for so long.

What everyone wants to hear is not two empty words, but tangible benefits, such as food and warmth!
