Chapter 28: Suicidal Behavior

Overnight, the entire city was covered in snow, as if the world had completely changed.

Qin Xingyue opened the window a little, and the cold wind whistled in, scratching people's faces and making them feel painful. They could feel that the temperature had dropped a lot compared to yesterday.

She immediately closed the window, shut it completely, and pulled down the curtains.

As soon as he left the window, messages started pouring out of his phone as soon as he turned on it. The group of owners in their community had exploded. Qin Xingyue clicked on it and took a look.

At the beginning, someone mentioned in the group that the snow was falling strangely, and some people were discussing the matter. Then the group became quiet for a while, but it became lively again in the second half of the night. It turned out that some property owners were making trouble and people were frozen to death last night.

It was May, and although it snowed yesterday, it didn't snow for long and stopped. Not many people took it seriously and went to bed in short sleeves, so the accident happened when the temperature dropped suddenly last night.

Those with poor resistance and some elderly people froze to death in their sleep. There were several such cases in their building.

The person causing trouble was the owner of the house on the 14th floor. There was an elderly person in their home. Luckily last night, the family discovered the abnormality in time and turned on the heating at home immediately. Although the elderly person had fainted from the cold, he was still breathing, so they immediately called the emergency number.

But it snowed too heavily last night, and the roads were covered with snow, so the ambulance couldn't get through. The family wanted to take the old man to the hospital themselves, but they were trapped in the community because of the heavy snow and couldn't get out, so the old man died.

The owner of the 14th floor started to make trouble with the property management. Several other owners who were freezing to death were also in a heavy mood and started to make trouble in the owners’ group. The group was already in a state of chaos and the argument was getting intense.

Of course, by the time Qin Xingyue saw the news, the matter had calmed down, and only a few people were discussing the snow that was still falling.

On the Internet, rumors of the end of the world are spreading everywhere.

It snowed so heavily last night, even heavier than during the day, and it has been snowing all night without stopping. People are freezing to death not only in their community, but also in various places. In the countryside, some old and dilapidated houses have collapsed under the snow, and many people are trapped under the houses. Although rescue operations have been dispatched, many people have been crushed to death, and some people have not been dug out. But in this kind of weather, the situation is probably not good.

This incident seems to be different from the usual disasters. Hundreds of people were reported to have frozen to death overnight, and we don't know how many more have not been reported. Add to that those who were crushed to death and those who are still being rescued, and we don't know how many people will die this time.

Everyone finally realized that something was wrong.

Qin Xingyue cooked herself a bowl of beef noodles and steamed a plate of crabs. She ate the delicious food while browsing various news online.

She was a little worried before, but now that the end of the world has really come, she is calm instead.

She knew that everyone was still holding on to hope, thinking that the snow would stop soon and everything would return to normal. But she knew that this snow had lasted for two years and countless people had died in it. Now everything was just the beginning.

Tired of watching for a long time, Qin Xingyue quit the online world and ate her food with big mouthfuls. Compared with others who were worried, she ate with great relish. The end of the world has come, and there will be fewer leisurely days like this in the future. Even if there are ingredients, it will not be convenient to cook. She has to cherish her present life.

Mulanzhi called Qin Xingyue several times, but she didn't answer any of them. Not only her calls, but also calls from others. She only read the messages but didn't reply, as if she was completely invisible.

The materials of the house have been specially modified. Although the temperature outside is low, there are still several degrees in her room. In addition, the air conditioner is on. As long as the windows are not opened, Qin Xingyue does not feel cold in the room. It is almost the same as usual.

After lunch, she had a nice nap. When she woke up, it was three o'clock in the afternoon and the snow had not stopped yet.

Glancing out the window, she estimated that the snow was two inches thicker than when she saw it in the morning. The neighborhood was blocked by snow and she couldn't get out at all. She couldn't see a single person.

After thinking about it, she returned to the house and took a thermometer. She stretched out her hand out of the window. Her exposed hand felt very cold. Snowflakes fell on her hand. After just a moment, she withdrew her hand, but her hand was also frozen red.

Qin Xingyue ignored it and looked at the temperature measuring instrument——

Minus 30 degrees!!!

The weather is freezing enough to kill people. Even if you are well prepared for winter, you will still freeze to death in such weather, not to mention that it is impossible to prevent it in time.

In the afternoon, the internet began to search hot topics about school suspensions in various places, and most companies were on holiday. Those who could work from home did so, and those who could not work from home took the holiday.

This is simply great news for some people who don't want to go to work, and the joy brought by this news also dispelled some of the worries caused by the heavy snow. Some people even made ridiculous remarks, hoping that the snow would last longer.

Seeing such remarks, Qin Xingyue sneered and said, “I’m afraid that by then, you will all cry!”

A special reminder sounded on WeChat. She looked and saw that it was the property management in the group who was tagging everyone, asking the owners living at home to speak up, as they needed to count the number of people.

Several people in the group had already reported their numbers, but she took a look and put her phone down without planning to reply.

The snow continued to fall until eight o'clock in the evening. By then, the snow on the road had frozen and the height of the snow had reached the level of the first floor. As soon as the snow stopped, cheers were heard from people in the community.

"It stopped, it finally stopped!"

"Great! If the snow keeps falling, I'm afraid it will collapse the house."

"My family doesn't have the habit of storing food. Today I rummaged through boxes and cupboards to find something to eat. If the snow doesn't stop, there will be nothing to eat at home tomorrow."

"Haha, my family is different. I have a lot of inventory. With my previous experience, my big freezer is now fully stocked all the time."

Everyone in the group was excited, thinking that the snow would stop falling and that everything would return to normal tomorrow when the snow gradually melted away. As a result, everyone began to relax and talked about the stocks at home. Some people even posted photos directly, showing their fully packed refrigerators and guest rooms piled with snacks, which aroused envy from everyone.

"Haha, can I come to your house and eat and drink for free?"

Someone tagged the person who posted the photo and sent an emoji with glowing eyes.

The owner of Room 2809 immediately responded: "You are always welcome to visit my home!"

"idiot!"

Qin Xingyue chuckled and turned off her phone. She felt ridiculous for her brainless neighbor and began to pray for him in her heart.

This person has a mental problem. This action she is taking now will probably bring her own death in no time!
