Upon returning, Yue Wu checked her phone and saw an official announcement: 21 members of a criminal gang had been arrested, including Niu and Qian...
Just by looking at the name, you can tell that Commander Li handed these people over to the police station. They were imprisoned after the apocalyptic mutation, and they were destined to have a bad end.
The number of comments that followed was pitifully small. These few people who were still active online either had chargers or generators, but that was a luxury for many families.
The rain has lessened in the last couple of days, and more and more people are going out to look for things.
Some people think that since the rain is about to stop, they should take advantage of the chaos to make a quick buck, since they might as well take advantage of the situation.
Others felt that the weather was too abnormal and no one could predict what would happen next, so it was good to have extra food on hand.
Only Yue Wu kept an eye on the temperature changes, because Mo Xiao Le's notebook said that after the rainstorm, it would be extremely hot, but the temperature had dropped by three degrees in the past two days compared to before.
The temperature has remained stable at 19°C during these days of heavy rain, but today it's only 16°C.
This situation is very unusual. Yuewu has a feeling that this apocalypse is even more brutal than what Xiaole experienced.
Given the high probability of extreme cold in the coming period, Yuewu realized the importance of coal.
Without hesitation, Yue Wu immediately sent a message to Feng Xuanlang, explaining that she had noticed the temperature drop and her speculation that extreme cold might be coming.
Feng Xuanlang also realized the seriousness of the situation. The torrential rain could flood up to the tenth floor. If an extreme cold were to come, the consequences would be unimaginable if no warm clothing was prepared in advance.
The two discussed it and decided to go to the coal mine in the west of the city to dig coal first thing tomorrow morning.
At this time, the water level in the west of the city had reached the height of a 13-story building, and many people were living in cramped conditions on the high-rise buildings, struggling to survive.
Because this was the first area to lose power and also had the deepest water level, the level of chaos in the western part of the city was unimaginable to most people.
Living in such a repressive environment, some people developed mental problems, while others became bloodthirsty, bullying men and women and committing all sorts of evil deeds.
Le Wu, Feng Xuanlang, and the others drove to the deep water area, where they had to stop the car. One person stayed in the car to wait while the others boarded the speedboat and continued towards the coal plant.
The further west they drove into the city, the more corpses they found floating on the water, already swollen and white from being soaked. The speedboats carefully avoided them.
At first, several people felt uncomfortable when they saw it, and Yuewu also felt physically uncomfortable and turned away. But when she turned around and saw something even more terrifying.
Some of the corpses had clean cuts, deep enough to expose the bone. It was easy to guess what had happened, and some people immediately felt nauseous and vomited.
Yue Wu wasn't much better off, especially when she saw that most of the corpses were girls, which made her feel nauseous.
Soon the speedboat sailed away from this area and arrived at a coal mine located in the western suburbs of the city.
If it weren't for the black water, it would be really hard to pinpoint where the coal pile was.
Everyone took out their diving equipment, which they had been collecting over the past few days.
Feng Xuanlang was the first to go into the water, followed by several others who also went in.
When they resurfaced, they were already 50 meters away. The others immediately approached in a speedboat, handing them burlap sacks and shovels.
Working in pairs, one person holds the bag while the other digs. Because of the great resistance underwater, all the movements are slowed down, and it takes about ten minutes to fill a burlap sack.
The people who came were divided into three teams: one team worked underwater, one team transported coal onto the trucks, and the other team prepared to exchange with the underwater team.
After a busy morning, everyone went on the speedboat to rest. Le Wu opened her large backpack, which she had prepared in advance, and found dozens of sandwiches, eggs and yogurt inside.
After everyone had lunch and rested briefly, they continued working.
When they returned in the evening, every yard had a cartload of coal piled up, even next to the entrance of the dance tunnel.
Before parting, Feng Xuanlang said to Yue Wu, "We're going to Gansheng Market tomorrow to bring back some heating equipment, so we can be fully prepared in advance."
Yuewu agreed, "I'll go with you tomorrow."
Feng Xuanlang: "Okay."
Back in the tunnel, Yuewu ate something simple. She was quite tired after a busy day, but she had to go out again tonight, so she couldn't wash up and go to bed yet.
Oh, poor people!
It wasn't until midnight, when all the lights in the villa area had been turned off, that Yue Wu went out.
Following the route she had taken during the day, Le Wu arrived at the coal mine alone, changed into high-end diving gear, and immediately went into the water. Fortunately, her eyesight was now excellent, and in such dim lighting, she immediately spotted the mountain of coal.
Approaching the coal pile, Yuewu placed her hand on it and used her mind to make the coal pile disappear in an instant, now located behind the Shuimu storage space.
Her excitement was palpable; this was the first time she had ever moved such a large number of items.
Continuing to swim forward, Yuewu collected another pile of coal and began to feel dizzy, indicating that she had reached her limit.
Lewu wasn't forced to do anything; he immediately returned to the assault boat, changed his gear, and headed back.
I didn't feel anything when I arrived, but on the way back I suddenly felt a bit uneasy, especially when I passed through that area where the bodies were piled up.
To bolster her courage, Yuewu kept muttering, "Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, may all demons and monsters scatter!"
Finally, she quickly returned home, and immediately entered the space to soak in the spiritual spring pool, where her body and mind finally relaxed.
