Chapter 32 Snowstorm【VIP】
Fortunately, we didn't encounter any obstacles when entering Hexinyuan. In some places, there were large snow pits and even some black marks.
Especially when passing by the garage, you can see people shoveling snow at the door, and there are several abandoned vehicles parked next to them.
Not all the cars in the garage have been burned, but there are not many left.
Besides, the security department is not that stupid. Although the condition of handing in supplies before heating remains unchanged, it is said that everyone has been mobilized to shovel snow. As long as anyone helps with the work, they can get heating for free, so manpower is inexhaustible.
There was no one in the corridor, but as soon as she reached the 17th floor stairs, Tang Tian heard crying in the corridor.
"Xiao Shen, you used to have a regular job, so can't you help an old woman like me?"
"And my little grandson is almost starving to death! He's our only grandson, we can't let him die!"
Tang Tian heard the voice sound familiar, and after thinking about it, she remembered that it was Aunt Cui Xiuying who lived in Room 1601.
Choi Soo-young and her husband lived in Hexinyuan. During the apocalypse, her son, daughter-in-law and grandson came to celebrate the New Year and were then trapped here as well.
Fortunately, the elderly are used to stocking up, especially during the Chinese New Year. It can be said that all the elderly people in this building look forward to the Chinese New Year the most.
So the double-door refrigerator at home was filled with food so that we could continue to survive at first.
But food was not enough. As the temperature dropped, Grandpa Sun became ill and died suddenly one day.
Before the family had cried enough, the power, internet and water were cut off again, and they even had to burn something to keep warm.
After that, there was even less food, and there was no more relief supplies after they received them. The son and daughter-in-law had no choice but to endure the severe cold and go out to look for supplies.
Not long after, her son died on the road. The grief of losing a young man to someone older than her made Choi Soo-young faint several times, and she vented all her resentment on her daughter-in-law. She refused to give her the remaining food, saving it for herself and her grandson.
Under such torture, the daughter-in-law naturally didn't live long. This morning, Choi Soo-young found out that the latter had also died, and she burst into tears again.
Later, he harassed all the neighbors in 15 buildings for his grandson.
Especially Wang Hui and the Shen family, her two life-saving straws, she clung to them tightly, and started to throw tantrums and use moral blackmail.
Before Tang Tian could go forward, she heard another voice coming from the other side, asking Cui Xiuying to go outside to find supplies.
That was Chen Yaoyue. It seemed that her temper was still very much intact.
Choi Sooyoung was furious after hearing this.
There is a blizzard outside right now. Letting someone of her age go out is no different from committing suicide.
So he stopped crying and got up from the ground.
The thick cotton coat and trousers made her body look like a ball, which was very funny.
She knew that the Shen family often went out to look for supplies, and if they hadn't found any, it would be impossible for the family to be alive and well.
Besides, Old Shen and Little Shen are both police officers. Police officers are supposed to help the weak. Aren’t she and her grandson the ones who should be helped?
Looking at the arrogant Shen Yaoyue, Cui Xiuying's triangular eyes were filled with anger, and she stretched out her hand to hit:
"You little bitch, do you have the right to speak? I want to see your brother!——"
Before she finished speaking, Shen Yaoyue raised her foot and kicked the former directly in the chest, knocking her to the ground again, unable to get up for a while.
This was the fighting technique that Shen Boyun taught her. The former had been teaching her since she returned home after her first trip.
She also didn't want to be looked down upon by Tang Tian and the others, as if she was a burden, so she studied hard and achieved considerable results.
If it weren't for that thick clothing, Choi Soo-young's fall would have been quite serious.
When Tang Tian saw this scene, she felt a little envious for some reason.
She also downloaded many tutorials on fighting techniques, but every time she practiced alone, she was not aware of the irregularities and mistakes, and seemed to be a half-baked person, so now she mostly relies on weapons and superpowers to defend against the enemy.
Shen Yaoyue put her hands on her hips proudly, and at this moment, Shen Boyun also walked out.
He seemed to be in a bad mood. Although only his eyes were exposed, one could still see that his face was half dark.
Choi Sooyoung immediately showed weakness and acted pitiful:
"Xiao Shen, look at your sister. How dare she do this to me..."
Before he could finish his sentence again, Shen Boyun also raised his foot.
Then he stepped on Choi Sooyoung's hand with his boots and crushed it.
"Who said my sister can't speak?"
He said in a sinister and condescending voice:
"I'm telling you this for the last time. I don't have any extra supplies at home! If you dare to disturb us again, don't blame us for being rude!"
Cui Xiuying grimaced in pain and nodded quickly, and Shen Boyun finally loosened his foot.
She quickly got up again and hurriedly left the corridor, without even glancing at Tang Tian and Tang Yi who were eavesdropping.
, she shouldn't have come!
"Brother, look, even if I have supplies, I won't give them to her!"
"Okay, go in and warm yourself by the fire."
, but his steps paused and his brows tightened.
Didn't follow into the house.
"Who? Come out!"
He had decided that he would take care of Wei Mingxia on behalf of the two Tang sisters - although he had not yet figured out how to tell the latter about this.
But he never expected that the two people who came out would surprise him.
Tang Tian had already taken off her goggles in advance, and her face was visible through the plastic part of the hood of her winter jacket.
She cleared her throat and said:
"It's me, I'm back..."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Boyun stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, asking in disbelief:
"You...you didn't—"
"No." Tang Tian immediately made up an excuse. "Actually, when the snow rushed in, we were already near the fourth-floor window. Luckily, we dug ourselves out and didn't get buried."
Shen Boyun's thoughts were in a mess, but he realized belatedly that he was still holding Tang Tian's hand, so he took it back awkwardly.
"That's good... As long as I'm alive."
Tang Tian scratched the back of his head again and changed the subject:
"Then we'll go home first. We'll talk about it later if there's anything."
"Okay, go back and keep warm, don't freeze."
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Tang sisters had survived a great disaster, so he didn't ask any more questions and just went back on his own.
In fact, Yan Chunhua and Shen Yaoyue later realized that something was wrong with their emotions, but they didn't have time to say it.
But I didn't expect that they would come back alive, and their emotions would probably change.
…
Wei Mingxia, who had been staying at home, was greatly relieved when she saw the two of them, but she couldn't help but complain a few words:
"You've been gone for so long, and you didn't even bother to send a message. I couldn't wait any longer, so I used the intercom, but none of you answered."
Tang Tian hesitated, but finally decided to tell Wei Mingxia about this.
Before the end of the world, people can report good news but not bad news, but after the end of the world, life and death are just a matter of a moment.
If they didn't have special abilities today, they would probably have died on the road.
Telling Wei Mingxia, firstly, will make her more aware of the dangers of the end of the world, and secondly, will make her better prepared mentally in the future.
Thinking back to the previous life, they didn’t have walkie-talkies, so once they went out, they would disappear without a trace.
In the early days, the two young sisters went out together, but in the later days, only Tang Tian went out alone.
Once, when she just came home late, Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia burst into tears. It turned out that they both thought Tang Tian had died on the road and they had lost their daughter and sister.
After hearing this, Wei Mingxia was stunned for a long time. When she came to her senses, her eyes were red.
"This is too dangerous!" she cried loudly, "Tiantian, can you please not go out from now on? We already have the system, so we don't lack food. There's no need to risk our lives like this..."
Seeing her excitement, Tang Tian could only interrupt her to explain.
She didn't live long in her previous life, but she had witnessed several natural disasters one after another, and she didn't know whether there would be more severe new natural disasters in the future.
Besides, the system is not omnipotent. There are many things in it that they have to prepare by themselves, so going out is an inevitable result.
Wei Mingxia slumped on the sofa, speechless. Tang Yi also turned her head away and remained silent.
But soon, the former slowly stood up again, muttering:
"It's almost time for dinner. I'll go get it ready. You must be hungry... Oh, and I'll fill the hot water bottle. You can soak your feet in the foot bath first."
When Tang Tian heard this, her nose felt a little sore.
…
Fortunately, this time the harvest was not small. In addition to what I earned in the mall, I also got Qian Peng’s task!
Although she didn't buy any food in the mall, Tang Tian had stockpiled quite a bit of goods, so she could definitely make a profit by just gathering the goods together.
After packing up her things and saying goodbye to Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia, she went to the 11th floor alone.
After knocking a few times on the door of 1101, the door slowly opened, and Qian Peng said in an impatient tone:
"Who is it? You're making so much noise! I told you I'm out of supplies!"
Tang Tian said aloud:
"It's okay, I have it now."
After hearing this, Qian Peng was petrified on the spot.
He stared at Tang Tian's face, then burst into a loud cry. His legs softened and he sat down on the ground, his fingers trembling as he said:
"You... aren't you dead? I'm telling you, we don't owe each other anything. Even if you become a ghost, don't bother me!"
Tang Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but given the situation at the time, they were definitely in great danger.
Qian Peng was in a hurry to get the supplies, so he must have heard the news.
She touched him lightly with her toe and said:
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I've brought you the food. Go get the gold bars!"
Qian Peng discovered that it was a solid object and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, while complaining, he got up and flew to get the gold bars that had been prepared long ago.
Tang Tian took out the ingredients she had prepared in her bag, including beans, pickled mustard greens, and frozen meat. She didn't feel bad about giving these away, as the system could actually produce them.
Qian Peng and his wife and children gathered around the coffee table that had not yet been chopped into firewood, looking at these supplies with their eyes lighting up.
What made Qian Peng most happy was that there were four bottles of mineral water!
Although it has been frozen into lumps of ice, these days people can only burn snow if they want to drink water, and it is rare to see bottled mineral water like this!
Two bottles of mineral water weighed a kilogram, making them easy to make up. However, Tang Tian simply used bottles she had collected and filled them with well water, which would freeze quickly in the outdoor temperature.
A rich man like Qian Peng would never forget to think about how to improve his living conditions even in the end times. This mineral water would definitely hit the mark for him.
"One gold bar and half a pound of food, one hand for the money and one hand for the goods."
Tang Tian said as she accepted the gold bars.
It was still a 10 gram specification, and in the end, a full 100 grams of gold was exchanged!
Qian Peng was so happy to see her, but he felt extremely heartbroken.
That was all the remaining gold bars he had, but he ended up exchanging them for these things, which were not even enough to feed his family for a while. How would he live in the future?
Tang Tian saw that they were frowning after getting the food, and understood that Qian Peng guessed that he had no gold bars left. She asked again:
"Do you have anything else? For example, jade, jewelry, etc., you can also exchange them with me."
Qian Peng's wife instantly perked up, nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and quickly brought a box.
When I opened it, I saw several jade bracelets and jade pendants, as well as diamond rings, necklaces, earrings and so on. If there was light, they would definitely sparkle.
Tang Tian reached out and took a jade bracelet. After confirming with the system that these could all be bought with real money, she did some calculations and said:
"These can be exchanged for another two kilograms!"
"What, two pounds?!"
Qian Peng's wife shouted in disbelief and displeasure:
"Do you know what you're talking about? These pieces of jewelry could have bought a car before!"
Tang Tian didn't understand how precious those jade jewels were before the end of the world, so she just crossed her arms indifferently:
"It's up to you whether you want to change it or not. If you don't, I'll leave."
"No, no, change, I'll change!"
Qian Peng's wife gritted her teeth and exchanged two kilograms of frozen meat with a painful look on her face. Only then did Tang Tian leave 1101 with a full load.
