Xiao Yi subconsciously blocked his head with his arms, thinking desperately, am I going to die in this alley like this? At this critical moment, a tall figure suddenly rushed out from the corner and knocked the thug to the ground.
Xiao Yi took a closer look and found that it was his good friend Lin Yu. Lin Yu was tall and strong, and he loved all kinds of outdoor sports and had great strength.
"Xiao Yi, are you okay?" Lin Yu said as he wrestled with the thug.
"I'm fine, thank you, Lin Yu!" Xiao Yi quickly picked up the supplies on the ground and put them back into the shopping cart.
Although Lin Yu was tall, the thug was also very fierce, and the two were inseparable for a while. Seeing this, Xiao Yi was extremely anxious. He looked around and found an abandoned wooden stick nearby. He quickly picked up the stick and joined the battle. Under the combined attack of the two, the thug finally gradually lost his strength and finally fled.
"Huh, finally got rid of him." Lin Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said breathlessly.
"Yeah, thanks to you for showing up in time, otherwise I would have been in trouble today." Xiao Yi said gratefully.
"Let's find a safe place to hide first. We don't know when this chaotic situation will end." Lin Yu said.
Xiao Yi nodded, and the two of them pushed the shopping cart and walked carefully towards a safe place in the chaotic streets.
Chapter 5: Struggle for Survival
Xiao Yi and Lin Yu searched for a long time in the ruins of the city and finally found an abandoned warehouse and settled down there temporarily. They carefully sorted out the looted supplies and began to discuss the next plan.
"It's so chaotic outside now, and there are dangers everywhere. We can't go out easily. These supplies should be able to support us for a while, but not for too long." Xiao Yi said with a frown.
"Well, but we can't hide here forever. We have to find a way to get in touch with the outside world and see if there is any solution. This disaster must not continue forever." Lin Yu said.
In the days that followed, they lived cautiously. During the day, they would take turns going out to gather information and search for more supplies. Every outing was an adventure, as they had to be constantly vigilant against attacks from thugs and other dangers. At night, they hid in the warehouse, listening to the occasional gunshots and cries of people outside, vigilantly guarding each other and their supplies.
As time went by, the situation outside grew worse. Food and drinking water became increasingly scarce, and people fought violently over the meager supplies, some even losing their lives. Violence and crime erupted in every corner of the city, plunging it into despair and chaos.
Xiao Yi and Lin Yu were also facing more and more difficulties. Their supplies were gradually decreasing, while the danger outside showed no signs of decreasing. They began to realize that this disaster was far more serious and longer-lasting than they had imagined.
Chapter 6: Light of Hope
Just when Xiao Yi and Lin Yu were feeling hopeless, they finally heard some encouraging news. The government had organized a large-scale rescue team and was working tirelessly to restore order in the city. Meanwhile, leading scientists were working day and night to develop methods to deal with solar flares and had made significant progress. It was believed that power would be restored soon.
Hearing this news, Xiao Yi and Lin Yu rekindled the flame of hope in their hearts. They decided not to sit and wait for death, but to take the initiative to join the rescue team and contribute their own strength to restore order in the city.
They carried their remaining supplies and left the warehouse. The world outside was still in chaos, but their eyes were no longer filled with fear and despair; instead, they were filled with determination and courage. They knew that as long as they worked together, they would be able to survive this unprecedented disaster.
In the days that followed, Xiao Yi and Lin Yu followed the rescue team, running around everywhere. They helped those trapped in the ruins, distributed supplies to the hungry, and maintained order in the chaotic situation. Although the process was extremely difficult and they often faced danger and fatigue, their hearts were always filled with hope.
Finally, thanks to everyone's concerted efforts, order gradually returned to the city. Power supplies began to gradually recover, street lights came back on, and cars began to drive orderly on the roads again. This terrible disaster was finally fading.
Xiao Yi and Lin Yu stood on the street, watching the city gradually recovering its vitality, their hearts filled with emotion. This disaster had put them through a life-or-death test, and had also allowed them to see both the ugliness and beauty of human nature. They believed that after this disaster, people would cherish the hard-earned peace and tranquility even more, and would also better understand the power of unity and mutual assistance.
Xiao Yi curled up in a corner on the eighteenth floor of an office building, wrapped in leather removed from an office chair. A cold wind howled outside the window, and thick frost formed on the glass, dyeing the entire world a pale white.
Seventy degrees below zero.
This number kept echoing in his mind. Three days ago, he was just an ordinary office worker, but now, he had to compete with rats for food in this abandoned office building like a primitive man.
Feeling a cramp in his stomach, Xiao Yi touched his shrunken backpack, which contained only half a pack of biscuits and a bottle of water. The vending machines in the office building had long been looted, and now he could only hope for the rats that shuttled through the pipes.
He fumbled to his feet, his legs numb from holding the same position for so long. The office building was completely dark; the power supply had failed on the first day of the cold snap. Xiao Yi turned on his flashlight, and the beam of light streaked across the corridor.
