Chapter 25 Snowstorm【VIP】

The building was mostly offices, but it had been used as a residence by that group of people, who slept on the floor and used the same iron barrel containers for heating.

After searching for a while, Tang Tian discovered that they had also taken some canned food and stored it here, so she took away all the brand new and unopened ones.

After finally confirming that there were no useful items, the three left the building.

However, as soon as he came out, Tang Tian was stunned.

She looked up at the endless cloudy sky, and from time to time tiny things fell.

She raised her hand to take a look, and her heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, that’s—snowflakes!

I'm afraid a blizzard is coming, they must go back immediately!

This factory is relatively small and is close to Hexinyuan, so there are almost no stores nearby where you can buy things for free.

Since everything had been smashed and destroyed, Tang Tian didn't care anymore and returned in the cold wind.

On top of that, her borscht was about to expire.

Chen Yaoyue was originally puzzled as to how she knew a snowstorm was coming, but thinking about the previous heavy hailstorms and freezing rain, she realized it wasn't surprising, so she shook her shoulders and hurried to catch up.

Finally returned to Hexinyuan, the snow on the horizon was almost turning into willow catkins.

During the coldest winter in Spring City, it usually rains and snows, and there are rarely complete snowflakes like this.

And when it snows, the temperature doesn't feel too cold.

So many people outside were mostly discussing the snow while warming themselves by the fire, as if their nerves had been frozen to numbness and they were completely unaware of the hidden danger.

After going upstairs, knowing that she had made a deal with 1101, the Shen siblings did not bother her any further, but thanked her and left.

Tang Tian pressed the doorbell and someone opened the door soon.

The middle-aged man, who had originally looked gloomy, suddenly had a light in his eyes when he saw her, and he quickly invited her in.

The man's name is Qian Peng. He is a businessman. The decoration of his house shows that he is wealthy.

Not only is there a real fire fireplace, but the house also has a full set of solid wood furniture.

There were a few pieces of furniture debris on the floor, probably used for burning firewood, and the temperature inside was not as cold as outside.

There was also a woman and two teenagers in the living room. Only their eyes were exposed, and they looked at Tang Tian with expectation.

Tang Tian put down a large package with a bang and said neatly:

"There are ten kilograms of food in here. We agreed to exchange two kilograms for one gold bar, so that's five in total. Take it!"

Qian Peng almost pounced on it and opened the package. He saw that it was full of sealed cans. A trace of disgust appeared on his face and he couldn't help complaining:

"I thought you could bring something, but it's all canned food, not even a dish. If I exchange it for gold bars, it would be too much of a loss..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Tang Tian pulled out his knife and with a flick of the knife, he cut off a corner of the mahogany coffee table next to him that had not yet become firewood.

The women and children screamed and stumbled into the inner room. Qian Peng was so scared that he sat down.

"You're still picking on me at this time. Do you think I'm giving you face?"

Tang Tian pointed the tip of the knife at the latter, and her eyes were sharp, and her tone was even colder:

"It doesn't matter if you're not satisfied. I can kill you and take away everything in the house. Do you believe it?"

Qian Peng was flexible and begged for mercy tremblingly, and his thoughts changed.

In fact, his family's life was already much better than other families. Now with Tang Tian to help carry the goods, 200 grams of canned meat, ten kilograms, could last for a while.

It’s just gold bars, spend it when you need to!

Qian Peng hurried to get the gold bars, all of which were small 10g gold bars.

Tang Tian held it in her hand, silently asking the system in her mind, and only accepted it after confirming that it was genuine.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Qian Peng asked again:

"Miss... No, benefactor! I wonder if you can still help me bring goods in the future?"

Seeing him rubbing his hands like a fly, Tang Tian only replied:

"That depends on how many gold bars you have left."

Qian Peng was delighted. Now that the gold bars could not be sold, they could only be used as currency, but they would also be despised and could not be eaten or drunk, so almost everyone was willing to exchange them.

Now I've finally found a use for it!

…

Tang Tian went out and went upstairs to go home. The energy ball fuel was still burning at home.

Wei Mingxia just harvested a batch of spinach today, and Tang Yi is using power to generate electricity to continue boiling water.

The effect of the borscht has ended. Tang Tian took the hot brown sugar water brought by Tang Yi, drank it in one gulp, sat on the sofa holding the hot water bottle, and directly used the gold bars to spend money in the system.

50 grams of gold, a total of 150,000 gold coins were spent.

In addition to the food sold in the food store, Tang Tian currently has a total of 180,000 gold coins!

It seems like a sudden wealth, but after thinking about it, these gold coins are nothing:

Is it to upgrade the warehouse? Increase the ability bar? Or upgrade the food acquisition area and purchase equipment recipes?

With this calculation, the gold coins can be easily used up.

After discussing with Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia,.

, one is just for keeping warm, which is too little.

, let her upgrade first.

Tang Tian is the right person to take on the responsibility.

Use the remaining gold coins to continue shopping.

Tang Tian's eyes first turned to the various equipment for making delicious food, and she bought canning jars and popcorn machines.

Canning jars can be used to make a variety of pickled products, including vegetables, fish, etc.

In fact, they can now eat fresh food almost every meal. Even the ingredients they had stockpiled before are as fresh as ever when taken out of the warehouse.

But she didn't expect that this canning jar could actually be brought into reality, and Tang Tian thought of making some pickled foods as a reserve, so that if she had to put them in front of the public in the future, it wouldn't arouse too much suspicion.

Each one is not expensive, only three thousand gold coins.

The main reason they bought the popcorn machine was because they had their eyes on a special delicacy that required equipment to make.

Popcorn made by a specific device, the ability is called [Air Bullet].

When Tang Tian saw this keyword, she became excited.

With this ability, wouldn't they no longer have to look for guns?

A popcorn machine cost a full ten thousand gold coins, so Tang Tian bought two of them.

Just like that, there are still about 45,000 gold coins left in the gold coin column!

She still needs to think carefully about how to spend the money next.

…

A day later, the snowflakes that were as big as catkins had become the size of goose feathers, and they looked like dense clusters of flying jade butterflies in the air.

Blown by the cold wind, people could not open their eyes at all, so they had to retreat back to the apartment building and continue to burn fire to keep warm.

Not only that, people gradually discovered that before the snow on the ground melted, a new layer was laid down and slowly rose up, and the first floor was almost half buried!

The survivors were in panic and unrest for a while.

But there was no useful new news on the radio. Instead, all we could hear for several days was the crackling sound. It seemed as if the authorities were overwhelmed and had given up on them.

People rushed to the new building manager, Wang Hui, but what could he do? He was already in disarray.

So some people stopped obeying his orders and formed their own faction. Every day they were either noisy or fighting, and the building was extremely lively.

Seeing snow accumulating on the balcony, Tang Tian simply put it in the warehouse and used it when it was extremely hot.

Glancing at the thermometer again, the temperature had dropped to minus sixty degrees Celsius.

Ordinary thermometers cannot measure such extremely low temperatures, so in her previous life, Tang Tian did not know the specific temperature of extreme cold.

She only knew that she was lucky to be able to open her eyes again every day, and it was colder than the day before.

Fortunately, she also remembered that the snowstorm period was not long, and it even turned into light snow in the later period.

Once it drops to freezing, the temperature stops falling and instead warms back up until the snow starts to melt, causing floods.

Before the extreme heat arrives, official rescue efforts will increase rapidly, provided there are still manpower and material resources.

"Bang! Bang!"

There was a sound similar to gunshot coming from inside the room, but it was much quieter than the sound of a gun/weapon firing in reality, so there was no need to worry about being discovered by people upstairs or downstairs.

Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia stood in the living room, with a newly made target hanging from the ceiling.

The two men stretched out one hand, made an eight-shaped shape, and shot at the bull's eye.

The popcorn machine can automatically produce a portion of popcorn every hour. After the three people ate it, they all gained the air bullet ability.

If you concentrate again, a small, slightly flowing vortex will form on your fingertips, which can then be launched/released to hit the target.

The good news is that this is a magical weapon that attacks invisibly.

But the bad news is that the lethality of LV1 is too small, and it will probably only cause a dull pain for a while when it hits a person.

Fortunately, the popcorn machine can be upgraded, so the superpowers can also be upgraded together.

It costs five thousand gold coins to upgrade once. Tang Tian waved his hand and directly upgraded twice to LV3.

LV3 is powerful enough to penetrate the skin, at least making people bleed. From then on, you just need to practice your aim.

With the remaining 35,000 gold coins, Tang Tian did two things:

One is to buy a new place to obtain ingredients, and the other is to buy new recipes.

[Tea Garden] is the same as other acquisition places. It automatically produces tea at regular intervals, and the types are also random: green tea, black tea, flower tea, etc.

In order to match these teas, Tang Tian also bought a special recipe:

【Famous milk tea connoisseur】!

It is packed with recipes for making various kinds of milk tea.

In fact, not all of them have special abilities, but she earns money through her own abilities, so what's wrong with buying her favorite recipe and enjoying it?

Milk tea warms the stomach when it's cold and relieves the heat when it's hot. Most importantly, in the apocalypse, a cup is enough to restore your sanity, so it's incredibly important!

But after doing all this, she had spent all the gold bars she had received from Qian Peng.

It seems that the next time I go out and shop for free is just around the corner!

But at this moment, Tang Tian fell into deep thought again.

Most of the warm supernatural foods she has unlocked so far are dishes, such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes and borscht.

But she will definitely go out more often in the future, and in order to find supplies, she will have to go farther. If the time limit ends halfway, she can't just take a dish out and eat it, right?

Spicy noodles are more convenient, but the quality is too low. It's minus 60 degrees Celsius now, and she needs to warm up at least 20 degrees before she can continue working.

There are places in China where the temperature is minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius, and people there can still survive, but this is premised on the availability of electricity and fuel.

Moreover, this situation is unique in Chuncheng, so without preparation, large numbers of people will freeze to death.

Tang Tian had to find some specific supernatural delicacies that could be easily taken out.

However, she quickly found the food she wanted in the red cuisine recipe book:

Sweet potato crisps, jujube flower crisps, and spicy bamboo shoots all have the ability to warm, and their levels are all LV4 and above.

As for drinks, she found a hot lemon tea and prepared to put it in a thermos cup.

Originally, she had her eyes on a spicy beef jerky, but unfortunately, if she wanted to make this and similar delicacies, she must have a piece of equipment - a dryer.

A device that costs 10,000 gold coins is definitely not something Tang Tian can afford in the short term, so she put it on her next plan.
