"Everyone's here. Let me tell you all that Ms. Xu and Mr. Zhou are joining us now, so we're a team now. Let's introduce ourselves and get to know each other. I'll go first. My name is Liu Changsheng, and I live in 602. You can just call me Lao Liu. This is my wife, Zhang Min." Lao Liu from 602 should be considered the team leader.

“My name is Cai Si, I live in 601, this is my wife Liang Ping, and we also have a son, Cai Quan. My mother’s surname is Ji.”

“My name is Dai Qin, and I currently live in apartment 601.”

“My name is Sun Wei, I live in 701. This is my wife, Li Jingjing. My mother, surnamed Wu, also lives here.”

“My name is Zheng Ming, my girlfriend is Wang Jing, and we live in room 702.”

"801 Zhou Pin." Zhou Pin always spoke so concisely in front of outsiders.

"802 Xu Lin, these two are my pets Shuke and Beta. They are with us on a mission today. It's nice to meet you all."

"What a beautiful German Shepherd!" Li Jingjing exclaimed. "Honey, let's get one sometime!"

“Okay.” Sun Wei looked at Li Jingjing with doting eyes, and it was clear that they had a very good relationship.

This time they planned to go to a more distant place to find more food, so every family except the elderly and children came out.

After a brief introduction, the group prepared to head towards their destination, Yulong Bay.

Xu Lin and Zhou Pin didn't bring their ice skates this time. Since they were going to team up, they couldn't be special. It wouldn't be good if others slipped with every step, and the two of them could slide far away in their ice skates, which could easily cause infighting within the team.

It was about -40°C outside, with a northwest wind blowing. Yulong Bay was located northwest of Jinxiu Community, and the group headed against the wind.

If this were a movie, it might be called a comedy. Some people wear floral cotton-padded jackets (Liu Changsheng, the kind-hearted guy from apartment 602); others wear military overcoats (Xu Lin and Zhou Pin). Everyone is wearing various hats, carrying kitchen knives, cleavers, boning knives, and two dogs in down jackets, struggling against the cold wind. Unfortunately, this isn't a movie; this is reality, this is the apocalypse!

It usually takes them 20 minutes to drive to Yulong Bay, but it took them a full two hours.

Yulong Bay is named after Yulong Mountain, where it is located. It is a hillside villa area with dozens of villas located from the bottom to the top of the mountain. It is the most famous villa area in the port city. Rich people may not necessarily live here, but people who live here are definitely rich.

Because of the previous torrential rains, Yulong Mountain was flooded up to halfway up the mountain. Now, only a dozen or so villas in Yulong Bay are visible; the rest are buried under ice. The residents of this area are all wealthy and powerful people. Seeing the situation was dire, they all moved away. Now, Yulong Bay is just an empty shell, vulnerable to exploitation.

“Let’s work in pairs, search for supplies together, and then meet up in this building at the very bottom,” said Acting Team Leader Lao Liu. “It’s perfect that we all came in pairs.”

“Okay, let’s go to the building next door first.” Zheng Ming said first. It was too cold, and he didn’t want to waste time talking. He wanted to find supplies first.

Xu Lin wanted to say that she had nothing to do with Zhou Pin, but saying it seemed like she would be making a fuss over nothing. This hesitation caused her to miss the best time to appeal.

Because the ground was slippery, everyone chose the lower villas, while Zhou Pin and Xu Lin, who had ice skates, chose the top one.

Now that they've taken out their ice skates, no one will say anything, since they've gone up high, and there are fewer people competing with them for the lower ground.

The two men and two dogs headed towards the highest point, and everyone else took their positions and began their tasks. They had agreed beforehand that, since this was a villa area, everyone would search their own belongings and work in teams to prevent robberies.
