Calamity Strikes: I Pick Up Scraps in Dungeons

When Ji He first transmigrated, she thought she had the script of a business tycoon.

She worked hard to earn money, aiming to count money until her hands cramped.

Then she suddenly disc...

Chapter 569: Reflection of the News

After sending the message, Ji He lay back on the roof.

Previously, the base could sit back and wait slowly for the white fog to dissipate, but now that it knows the extreme cold is coming, it probably can no longer sit still.

Ji He estimated that they would have to release the people to store food within three days at the latest.

During the more than one month of isolation, we not only had nothing to eat, but also consumed an unknown amount of food.

Now that I know the future will be extremely cold, I am even more anxious.

This is called food insecurity phobia.

Although there is white fog now, there are still fish and aquatic plants in the water. When it gets extremely cold, it is hard to say whether there will be food.

The base will definitely release people from underground.

Of course, Ji He kept some information to himself, which is that there is food even in extreme cold.

It's just that the food is not easy to find.

Sure enough, as the news of 50 billion hit like a thunderbolt, the whole world fell into a new round of panic.

It is now the end of the second year of the apocalypse.

The first year was extremely hot, and we managed to survive by digging holes and turning on air conditioners.

The second year began with heavy rain. Although it was hot and humid, it was not bad because at least we had some food.

Heavy rains continued for more than half a year, and white fog came.

I didn’t expect the white fog only lasted for more than a month. Is the extreme cold coming again?

Is this not enough to let people survive?

Meetings were held again at all major bases, with many people vying to express their opinions.

The first thing to be affected is the lack of food, winter clothing, fuel, medicine, and everything else.

In the end, after arguing for a long time, no solution was reached.

"The walls of the existing houses are too thin! They won't support us through the winter! Not to mention the extreme cold, even if it's minus 40 degrees, these houses won't be able to withstand it!"

"When the house was first built, they didn't install heating in order to speed up the process. The Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau is so short-sighted!"

"Can you provide heating by installing a heater? Why are you bragging about it being free? If you can afford the heating, I will stand on my head and eat shit!"

"We don't know whether the white fog and extreme cold will occur at the same time. The white fog outside hasn't disappeared yet. If the white fog and extreme cold come together, how will we deal with it?"

"Do you know how long it has been since new clothes were produced? Ordinary people are lucky to have a few sets of long-sleeved shirts now! If extreme cold suddenly comes, how will you let them survive the winter?! Countless people will freeze to death!"

"What should we do if we don't have enough coal?! We had already chopped down a batch of coal when we were short of fuel for cooking during the extremely hot weather! Now it's winter, let alone cooking, ordinary people will definitely freeze to death if they don't have firewood to keep warm!"

"Where are the medicines?! A while ago, there was an outbreak of turbid beasts in our base, and we just used up a batch of medicines! That was the last batch! Chinese herbal medicines have just been planted and don't meet the standards for medicine. If there is an infectious disease and we don't have medicine, what will we do if it spreads on a large scale?!"

"Where is the water source? How are we going to feed and drink so many people? The river water over there is full of all kinds of things. Let alone the pollution level of the collected water, it cannot be drunk directly. It needs to be filtered several times. Where do the resources consumed in the process come from?"

Even though they received a batch of winter supplies after borrowing another 50 billion from Xiang Tian, ​​the base did not expect the natural disaster to come so soon.

With less than a month left before the extreme cold weather arrives, they discover that nothing is enough, far from enough!

"Housing is easy! We can let ordinary people continue to live underground and build underground cities. The temperature underground is much higher than above ground, so a lot of people will not die then!"

"We should encourage the gifted ones to become stronger and stay on the ground. They can then lighten our burden!"

"I'm looking for someone who can help with donations. If that doesn't work, selling some weapons is fine."

"But, with weapons, what should we do if chaos breaks out?"

"Now that there are no weapons, isn't there chaos? So many people die every day, are you blind and can't see it? Besides, those gifted people are all very strong. If they really want to cause chaos, we can't do anything about them. We might as well take the opportunity to make some money. But we have to weigh the balance! Guns can be sold at a lower price, but the price of bullets must be well controlled."

"In addition, we also need to keep ordinary people busy. If they are idle, they will find something to do! We don't support idle people. If ordinary people want to survive, we should let them work, whether it's planting vegetables, digging tunnels, or fermenting manure. They should find something to do."

While the base was busy formulating countermeasures, the talented people couldn't sit still anymore.

Relying on their strong physical fitness, they did not think the white fog was very harmful.

After getting my props and supplies back, I thought about going to the ground to stockpile supplies.

It’s just white fog, it’s okay if you just wear more clothes and wear a mask!

Even if you get bitten, you can get over it by holding on. But if an extreme cold weather comes and you haven’t stored enough food, you will starve to death!

As a result, many talented people came to the gate and asked when it would be opened.

Ji He lay on the roof and looked at the gate with a telescope.

This is the 16th group of people today.

There will be only more tomorrow.

"The white fog has not dissipated yet. It's not safe to go to the ground now. Go back and wait for notification. We will make unified arrangements."

The staff at the door chased the person back. "According to the rules, you are not allowed to wander around in the underground city. Go back quickly."

The talented people were not happy, and they prepared sleeping pills and props.

Have extra confidence in yourself.

"When will you notify me? Don't wait for ten days or half a month without any confirmation!"

"Yes, if we don't store more food now, how will we survive the winter? If someone dies at home, will you be responsible?"

But no matter how many people came, they would not let anyone in at the gate and would never give in.

Finally, the group had no choice but to go back.

But everyone knew that the base couldn't hold them for much longer.

Not to mention these people are anxious, the base can't sit still either.

Ji He withdrew his gaze, turned over and lay back on the roof, continuing to put supplies on the shelves.

You still need to continue collecting energy stones.

This thing is so important.

There are still a few money-eating beasts now, and I have to take them down.

She had sold out all the supplies that she had stockpiled before and that could be sold directly. Now, only the dried fruits and the supplies that she had just collected were left.

Ji He, the dried oil fruit manufacturer, asked Da Fengshou to press the oil in the space and then sell the oil directly.

Although it is a bit troublesome, not only can the price be higher, but the dried oil fruits after oil extraction can also be fed to livestock, killing two birds with one stone.

Anyway, Da Fengshou is a robot, so Ji He gave his orders without any mercy.

The same is true for the iron cone.

When this fruit is roasted in fire, it will swell and become either poisonous or non-toxic.

After swelling, the fruit will become a red, elastic lump of flesh as big as two basketballs. After being cut, it is sold in small pieces, 1 liang per portion, and no one can tell what it is.

The system will only judge them as edible plants.

However, the pollution level of this fruit has not decreased yet, so it needs to be kept in the space for a while before it can be sold.
