When the murder case was put on hold, when everyone was immersed in fear, when it was getting dark.

The community owners' group was in an uproar again! The gas was cut off!!!

After communicating with each other online, everyone learned that the gas was cut off in all parts of the city!

Yes, everyone has been using gas for heating, and it is consumed too quickly! The last gas reserve has been exhausted!

After the power outage yesterday, every household relied on the open flame of the gas stove to keep warm! But now, even the gas is cut off! How can everyone keep warm? How can they survive this cold night?

It really is like when it rains it pours! The power went out yesterday, the gas went out today, the food at home is getting less and less, plus the extremely low temperature, how can everyone survive?

Lin Ling didn't know how other people lived, she only knew that she had no appetite in the morning and at noon, and didn't eat much. She watched TV series all afternoon, and she couldn't go hungry at night!

Lin Ling turned the sun on the side towards herself, then sat down at the table and began to put things on it! First two bowls of rice, then a portion of fried eel shreds, and a plate of stir-fried grass head. For one person, it's better to keep it simple, one meat and one vegetable, balanced nutrition, that's enough.

After dinner, I continued to watch TV series, practiced martial arts, and then rested. Nothing happened overnight.

June 4024, 06, cloudy

Early in the morning, Lin Ling was practicing in the practice room when she heard crying outside.

Strangely enough, since the extreme cold weather, transportation has been cut off. Cars cannot go on the road, and everyone stays at home. Whether it is night or day, the whole world feels much quieter.

Lin Ling's house had been renovated and had better soundproofing, so it was always very quiet. Unexpectedly, there would be crying sounds coming from her today.

Lin Ling gathered her mind, finished the set of exercises, and then walked out of the practice room. Lin Ling stood at the window and looked out, but didn't see anyone crying. She simply turned on her phone, and sure enough, the community group had faster news.

It's the people in Building 8 who are crying. An old man froze to death last night!!!

Before going to bed, the old man gave the warmest quilts to his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. He only had an old mattress on his bed, and he slept with his clothes on, and covered himself with layers of clothes, trying to keep warm.

But the temperature in the house without electricity and gas was not much higher than that outside! The temperature at night dropped even lower! It was not an exaggeration to say that the breath turned into ice! The old man was weak to begin with, and the heat generated by his body could not keep up with the temperature loss at night. Although there were a lot of clothes, there were too many gaps after all, and they could not cover tightly!

When they woke up in the morning, what the family saw was the old man’s pale face covered with stubble!

Then, Lin Ling heard the crying sound~ This was from the neighbor downstairs of the person involved. After reading it, Lin Ling remained calm because she knew that it was definitely not just that one person who froze to death last night!

Lin Ling slowly finished her breakfast. She reminded herself in her heart: Be careful! From now on, the end of the world will begin!

Seeing death too often will make people afraid, but their desire to survive will also be stronger! They will try to grasp any life-saving straw!

In the morning, more and more messages were received in the community owners’ group, and more and more people were exposed to have frozen to death!

There were many people who spoke in the group! Some people's phones ran out of battery and lost this network connection! Some people also froze to death! They disappeared silently and never had a chance to speak again! Among the people who disappeared, most of them froze to death!

Although the power has been out for more than a day, families usually have spare mobile phones or power banks, so it is not so easy to lose contact.

But apart from the people who froze to death and were exposed, how many people died quietly in their houses without anyone knowing?

Those who lived alone and passed away in their sleep! Those whose whole family became stiff in the low temperature! They passed away in their dreams with warm smiles on their faces! No one could see the smiles on their faces for the time being, and no one could speak for them!

Including the extreme cold ten days ago, when the temperature suddenly dropped late at night, many people froze to death! But those people couldn't speak!

Lin Ling turned on the computer and saw that the internet was already filled with pessimism and despair!

Photos of people who froze to death were posted directly on the website, and some people even posted some bloody pictures of the crime scene! There is no doubt that they were all trying to snatch food and heating supplies! Everyone generally believed that this might be their final fate!

At this time, no one cares what people post on the Internet! Maybe it’s too late to control it!

Lin Ling was looking at the Internet, and on her phone, a message suddenly came from the martial arts group. There had been no activity in the group for several days. After all, everyone was more concerned about their current survival, work, colleagues, etc. Who would care about who?

Lin Ling opened it and saw that it was the curator.

“Director: @Everyone, my phone is running out of battery, and I want to say a few words to everyone. The current situation is not optimistic. Heavy snow! Severe cold! Power outage and gas outage! Soon everyone will lose contact. You have all seen those murders and bloody incidents! Or maybe you have been around them!”

"Order is collapsing! Everyone, be careful! I believe in everyone's abilities, and hope everyone can survive! If you live close to each other, help each other if possible, or keep each other together for warmth. Only by surviving can there be a future! That's all I have to say, everyone. See you again if we are lucky enough!"

"Goodbye, Director!"

"Director, we will definitely meet again!"

Everyone left messages below, and Lin Ling also silently typed two words, "Goodbye!"

Gone forever, not only the curator, but also the peaceful life I used to have!

"Welcome everyone to Doomsday!" Lin Ling said silently to her former colleagues in the group.

As for the director, Lin Ling only felt that he was a person of temperament. This was her final reminder to everyone! After the order collapsed, it was the law of the jungle! People like us who came from martial arts schools naturally have some advantages. But it depends on whether everyone can realize it.

Lin Ling was about to put down her phone when she heard "Ding Dong~". Whose message?

Lin Ling clicked on it and saw that it was a former colleague.

Liu An: "Lin Ling, did you hear what the curator said? Our neighborhood is not peaceful. What happened in Building 13 yesterday, you have to be careful if you live there!"

Lin Ling: "What did you say? I didn't see it."

Liu An: "Uh (⊙﹏⊙), stop it, I saw your reply!"

Lin Ling: "Okay then, I saw it, I will be careful myself, you should be careful too."

Liu An: "You don't understand what I mean! I know you are better than me, but what if they play dirty tricks? What if there are more people? You are a girl, others don't know how good you are! They may think you are a little girl, easy to bully, and you are more likely to become a target of bad guys! You are more dangerous!"

"You have to be more careful! Tell me if you find anything wrong. I'm close! I can be there anytime!"
