Lin Yue has been having a recurring dream recently. One scene depicts the global apocalypse arriving on June 15th. The other scene shows her tied up and bound, suspended in a warehouse with over te...
Unable to figure out the function of that mouth, Lin Yue stopped trying and went straight to sleep.
Because she brought back enough things, Lin Yue plans to stay home for a while before going out again.
For the next two days, besides going up to the roof to remove snow and collect snow for melting, I did physical training with Cang Yu, and the two of us practiced together in the afternoon.
Although no special effects can be seen in just two days, Lin Yue has already overturned the previous empty shell. Apart from the lack of speed and strength, she can now touch Cang Yu's fabric.
On the morning of June 22, the heavy snow stopped completely. The snow on the ground had covered the base of the windows on the third and fourth floors, making it a convenient way to go out.
Because of the heavy snow cover, the air on the second floor was not circulating, so the people on the second floor moved to the stairwell between the fourth and fifth floors.
They wanted to steal it too, but the people upstairs wouldn't open their doors. They caught snow directly through the windows, barely surviving. They didn't have the skills to pry open doors, they were starving, and they didn't have the strength to ram the doors.
The temperature had reached minus seventy degrees Celsius and remained there, no longer dropping.
As the temperature continued to drop, the survivors adapted to the temperature changes. Apart from always feeling bone-chillingly cold, they could still move around freely.
Because the heavy snow stopped, people started moving around outside, and some even went outside the community, probably to look for supplies.
After breakfast, Lin Yue and Cang Lang did physical training together. They had just finished one run when the door to the stairwell was pounded on loudly, accompanied by shouts, some of which included sobs.
"Open the door! Open the door now! Ah, let me go! Lin Yue, open the door! Help me!"
"Haha, stop shouting, they don't want to talk to you."
"No, Lin Yue, open the door! This is what you and your man owe me, open the door now!"
Lin Yue frowned. Who came to her for help? She didn't have any friends here, and besides, she didn't owe anyone anything.
Lin Yue didn't want to pay attention, but the other person was hitting too loudly and it was really noisy.
Lin Yue opened the first security door. Outside the second iron door, Zhao Qiang's wife was gripping the iron bars on the door tightly with both hands. Her clothes were torn and messy, and her face was covered in tears and snot. Behind her were three men whose names she didn't know; they probably weren't from the nearby buildings.
The three men were grabbing Zhao Qiang's wife by the leg, trying to drag her away, and their intentions were obvious.
Seeing Lin Yue open the door, Zhao Qiang's wife suddenly mustered her strength, kicked off the hand on her foot, grabbed the iron door with one hand, and reached into the door with the other, trying to grab Lin Yue.
But as soon as she reached out her hand, the wolf pounced, and she immediately pulled her hand back.
Hearing the noise, Cang Yu also came out of the house, but he only stood at the door and did not go forward.
Seeing Canglang's fierce appearance, the three men outside did not dare to go forward to drag the person away, but they were also unwilling to leave, so they just watched from the corner.
Lin Yue understood the situation and, not wanting to meddle, simply tried to close the door.
Seeing this, Zhao Qiang's wife disregarded her fear of the wolf and reached in to hold the door shut.
"Lin Yue, we're both women, you wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die, right?" Zhao Qiang's wife said firmly, not as a question, but as if Lin Yue should save any woman.
Lin Yue found it amusing and looked down at the person outside the door: "We're both women? When you spread rumors about me before, you didn't seem to remember that we're both women. What makes you think I'd save you right now?"
She may have ignored the nasty things Zhao Qiang's wife said to her outside, but that doesn't mean she didn't remember them.
"Lin Yue, you can't just abandon me. I'm like this because of you and your man."
Hearing this statement again, Lin Yue found it quite novel.
"Tell me then, how did we harm you?"
"Zhao Qiang died because the wound was too deep, the blood froze, and his whole hand froze. Cutting him didn't help, and eventually his whole body froze. You killed Zhao Qiang, and your husband even protected you, not letting me come up to you to ask for compensation for the medicine. Zhao Qiang's death was caused by you. It's because Zhao Qiang died that they dared to bully me. I'm like this because of you. You have to save me, you have to take responsibility for me." Zhao Qiang's wife explained the cause and effect clearly.
Is Zhao Qiang dead?
Lin Yue was a little surprised. Just because her arm was slashed?
But so what? Lin Yue doesn't acknowledge this cause and effect.
"Are you kidding me? What does his death have to do with me? If you hadn't thought I was easy to bully and tried to steal my supplies, he wouldn't have been killed by me. If you hadn't let your husband steal from me, he wouldn't have been killed by me. See, you deserve it." Lin Yue spoke coldly, without any emotion.
She is neither a naive girl nor does she possess the virtue of repaying evil with kindness.
After saying that, Lin Yue closed the door. If she didn't want her hand, then she could just stick it out and push it against her.
Zhao Qiang's wife was still afraid that her hand would break, so she quickly pulled her hand back again.
"Lin Yue, you vile bitch, you stood by and watched me die! You'll suffer a terrible death! I curse you to be ridden by a thousand men and torn apart by ten thousand, I curse you to die a horrible death..."
Zhao Qiang's wife's voice grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely.
"When did you stop them?" Lin Yue asked Cang Yu.
"The night before last, I went out and happened to run into them, and the wolf scared me."
Lin Yue recalled that around 7 p.m. on the 20th, she did hear Cang Yu open the door.
"Thanks!"
"I'm afraid of noise." After saying that, Cang Yu went back into the house.
Cang Yu went back into the house, while Cang Lang pulled Lin Yue along, gesturing for her to keep running.
The matter is over, and the owner wants the dog to practice with them, so it definitely can't miss a single second, which will cause a delay later.
Lin Yue followed Cang Lang as they continued running up the stairs.
If I hadn't known about this, I wouldn't have cared. But now that I do, I'm grateful that she was spared a scolding.
Let's have a seafood feast for lunch. I bought some cooked seafood earlier, but haven't tried it yet. I'll give it a try and see if it still tastes the same as before.
Having decided on the lunch menu, Lin Yue felt relieved and started running up the stairs.
At 11:20, Lin Yue dragged her still slightly sore legs home. After drinking two cups of spiritual spring water, she started boiling water to prepare for a bath.
Boiling water on short notice these days is a bit slow. It seems she needs to boil more water at night and store it in her space so she can use it anytime.
She really wanted to use a water heater, but there was no running water!
Even if there is electricity, it's not something you can use for everything.
It takes more than ten minutes to boil water, so while the water is boiling, Lin Yue decides to study that "mouth" again.
Ever since that "mouth" appeared, she has tried to study it whenever she had a spare moment, but she has come to no conclusion. It's as if that thing is just there for decoration and has no use whatsoever.
However, the lack of a conclusion did not dampen Lin Yue's enthusiasm.
Consciousness entered the space and immediately found the place. There, where there was nothing before, were two sets of casually packaged clothes on the ground.
Seeing something, Lin Yue was delighted and immediately took out the clothes. On the casually packaged bag were three words:
Temperature-regulating clothing!
