Humans have lived in harmony with nature for so many years; they're not fools.

Everyone knows exactly what will happen if there's a heavy rain.

"The state grain warehouses are now open to the public. You can collect grain by showing your ID card. In addition, the national grain base is about to be completed. Everyone should hurry up and collect their grain. First come, first served. There may not be any left if you go later."

This is big news. In my previous life, some of the granaries were opened to the public, but too many people died, and with the freezing weather, there was no need to open them anymore.

Once the base was built, a contribution points system was established, and everyone had to rely on contribution points to move around the base.

As for the exact location of the granary, Jiang Zhi had no idea. She missed the opportunity to distribute grain in her previous life, and the condition for her to enter the base was the corpse of a mutated chicken.

Although the mutant chicken has mutated, its meat is still edible.

She has no intention of competing with others for food in this lifetime, so she will not get involved in the so-called granaries.

After several days of effort, Zhou Heng finally managed to get some electricity. He charged the power bank before daring to use his phone. His phone was different from Jiang Zhi's; Jiang Zhi's phone was more like an old-fashioned phone, while his was a fully functional smartphone.

Upon seeing the information on his satellite phone, Zhou Heng felt a sense of unease. He immediately climbed out of the pit he had dug in the underground parking garage, taking the supplies inside with him.

This is a house he rented temporarily. Although it is a detached villa, there are not many things to keep warm in winter, so it looks like he will have to go out again.

Since the signal was restored, meaning the solar storm had passed, he could drive out, and with the temperature dropping, the asphalt roads would gradually harden.

Zhou Heng ransacked the villa and found a few cotton-padded coats left behind by the original residents, which he altered to make them barely wearable.

He chose the room with the smallest window on the second floor as his residence and gathered all the blankets from all the rooms together.

In addition, there were various kinds of firewood he had collected before.

At night, Jiang Zhi could clearly feel the temperature drop. Although it was muggy outside, it wasn't unbearable to breathe.

Wearing short sleeves, she reached out of the window. The hot air carried a certain humidity, and Jiang Zhi quickly noticed that the visibility of the night vision goggles had decreased. She quickly withdrew her hand and closed the window.

Jiang Zhi moved the sofa and sat by the window, wanting to observe the changes outside tonight.

She vaguely remembered that in her past life, when the temperature dropped precipitously, she was lucky to survive in a shopping mall, otherwise she would have been freezing to death on the roadside with no clothes on.

As the night wore on, Jiang Zhi noticed the fog thickening, so she decided to leave and go directly to the safe zone in her spatial dimension.

Lying on the soft Simmons bed in the 3D-printed house, Jiang Zhi could feel happiness even with her eyes closed. The temperature and humidity in the space were very pleasant, and she didn't need to turn on the air conditioner at night.

The next morning, Jiang Zhi finished breakfast in the space and then left with a small oxygen cylinder.

As soon as she stepped outside, she was startled by the cold air and shivered.

I picked up the thermometer and saw that the temperature had plummeted from 50 degrees to 15 degrees.

This is outrageous!

Many people had just gotten used to the extremely hot environment, and this sudden coolness caused them to catch a cold.

Jiang Zhi changed into a sweatshirt, sweatpants, and chunky sneakers. If the temperature continued to drop, she would add a jacket.

There were many people passing by on the road outside, including both people and cars.

After discovering that the vehicles were drivable, most people chose to go down the mountain to collect supplies. Someone else, having somehow received word that the granary was open and that one could exchange cash for grain with their ID card.

To avoid being noticed, Jiang Zhi also drove her beat-up car and followed behind the group. Once inside the Second Ring Road of Jiangcheng, Jiang Zhi got on the elevated highway and headed in another direction.

The national grain depots are located throughout the country, and the grain inside is replaced every once in a while, with the old grain flowing into the market.

Unfortunately, due to extreme heat and a power outage, much of the tens of thousands of tons of poultry meat inside the large meat storage facility spoiled.

People are now spontaneously organizing to salvage frozen meat, and they are taking absolute disinfection measures, otherwise it could cause various diseases.

At the beginning of the extreme heat, some were salvaged, but because of the conservative approach, the vast majority remained unsold and rotted in the warehouse, emitting a foul stench.

Ultimately, all the damaged items were destroyed in the fire.

Jiang Zhi has hundreds of tons of various kinds of meat in her space, most of which were stockpiled abroad. She didn't want to compete with the people in China for food, so she didn't pay much attention to this aspect.

She drove to a parking lot, stopped, and blew out most of the gasoline. She didn't blew the gas completely because she was afraid someone would see her car was out of gas and puncture her tires.

There must be people searching for gasoline right now.

Living in a basement for so long has warped the mindsets of many people.

The oil was stolen, so naturally it left traces, which later people would automatically ignore.

After receiving their food, the survivors spontaneously began to clean up the ravaged city.

The pit where the bodies had been dumped was a terrible sight. After obtaining the consent of the relatives of the deceased, a dozen people wearing two layers of protective clothing decided to cremate the bodies on the spot.

The stench mingled with the smell of disinfectant, and suddenly flames shot into the sky, filling the air with a nauseating acrid smell.

Jiang Zhi quickly left the place. Some people were organized to knock on or break down doors to check. Some people died in their homes before they could even get into the basement.

It was dirty and smelly.

The flesh was plastered to the floor; if you tore it off, half of the skeleton would be exposed.

It's absolutely disgusting.

As Jiang Zhi walked, she secretly used her camera to record these scenes of transition from extreme heat to extreme cold.

Some cried out to heaven and earth, hurled profanities, cursed at God, fainted from grief, while others organized themselves to help.

This is the scene of people after a natural disaster.

Most people probably still think that this natural disaster is over.

A layer of clouds covered the sky, and the sky above people was shrouded in gloom.

"Waaah, Mommy, can we go back to the past?" A disheveled woman was holding a five or six-year-old girl by the roadside.

"Don't worry, baby, you can definitely do it. Look how hard the uncles and aunties are working, baby, you have to work hard too." The woman's eyes welled up with tears as she comforted her child.

"But Daddy will never come back." The little girl sobbed, and the woman wiped away her tears as well. She hugged the child tightly, and the two of them wept bitterly on the street.

Jiang Zhi captured this moment, then turned and left without looking back.

People were gradually moving around in the shops, perhaps still hoping to resume business. But tonight's cold snap will deliver a devastating blow to all hope.

Jiang Zhi didn't know how many people would die tonight; this wasn't the first time she had felt powerless.

In the apocalypse, being able to take care of oneself is already a blessing, but to also take care of others requires an extraordinary sense of responsibility.

Jiang Zhi was caught in a dilemma, feeling powerless.

Those who have lost loved ones are weeping, and those who have lost property are also weeping.

You should be grateful that you survived the extreme heat.

Sometimes she thinks that it's fortunate that her parents and relatives passed away early, so she didn't have to suffer this hardship.

Jiang Zhi stood halfway up the mountain and turned to look back at the entire city.

The smoke obscured her vision.
