Xia He stood at the edge of the crowd, not daring to approach, because she could smell a peculiar stench in the air that made her want to vomit.

The stench was a mixture of sweat, the smell of someone who hadn't showered in a long time, and the odor of the surrounding environment. It was a strong, pungent smell that was hard to ignore.

People found it difficult to breathe in the smell, but they had no choice, because in this frozen world, no one wanted to bathe in cold water.

After waiting for about half an hour, a helicopter carrying an airdrop slowly flew over from a distance. Xia He and her group had already cleared their positions and were waiting for the airdrop to be dropped. However, the airdrop was dropped on a public square not far from Xia He's residential area!

If Xia He's estimate is correct, there's no one there right now!

After all, everyone is waiting for the airdrop in their own neighborhood, and there's only one airdrop in this area. Going there now would be tantamount to suicide.

The residents of the community haven't suffered too much from the apocalypse, so they're in pretty good spirits right now, but Xia He doesn't think so.

Led by Property Manager Wang, the residents of the community prepared to head to the airdrop point. Hiking to the airdrop point in the frigid weather of -70 degrees Celsius was no easy task. Xia He wanted to sneak back, but Dr. Qian stopped her, saying, "You're such a young girl, can't you even handle this little bit of hardship? Hurry up and come with me. If you don't go, no one will help you get the supplies. If I remember correctly, you live alone, right?"

Xia He sighed helplessly at Dr. Qian's kindness, and could only follow the crowd through the extremely cold weather of 0.70 degrees Celsius.

On the way, Dr. Qian almost slipped and fell because the air was too cold and the road was slippery. Xia He was right next to Dr. Qian and quickly helped the old lady up. There was no other way, after all, Dr. Qian had kindly asked Xia He to come and collect the airdrop.

When the group arrived at the airdrop point, people from other communities also arrived one after another, and the situation became chaotic and dangerous. The crowd was packed together, scrambling for supplies. Manager Wang had wanted to negotiate with the leaders of the other communities to see if the supplies could be distributed more evenly.

Who would have thought that the world outside the community was not like the situation inside? Now, in this apocalypse, it was full of desperate people.

The frigid weather of -70 degrees Celsius made people anxious and desperate, and their desire for warmth and food made them cold and selfish.

People pushed and shoved, and more and more people lay on the ground, some stabbed, some trampled.

Xia He and Dr. Qian stood in the corner. Dr. Qian looked at this scene and seemed unable to accept it. He clutched his chest, stretched out his finger and pointed at the group of people in the air, trembling.

The airdropped supplies were quickly looted, but the bloodthirsty people were not satisfied with that. Others saw that the people in Xia He's neighborhood were at least warm and well-dressed, and they had evil intentions.

One of the men carrying a knife saw Xia He and Dr. Qian, two women, one old and one young, and had evil intentions. At least, aside from anything else, their clothes were very thick!

Dr. Qian was so frightened by the sight of the knife that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

Xia He watched as the man rapidly approached, his blade gleaming. She reacted swiftly, raising her leg and delivering a beautiful side kick, aiming at the knife in the man's hand.

With her foot striking the blade, Xia He kicked the knife away, depriving the man of his chance to hold it. Without pausing, she delivered another kick, aiming at the man's chest with enough force without being overly aggressive, knocking him to the ground.

After the man fell to the ground, groaning, Xia He took out a thermos from her backpack—actually, from her spatial storage—and poured the hot water from the thermos onto the man's head and limbs.

The man let out a painful howl, but after a short while, he made a sound, lay on the ground, and never got up again.
