Chapter 97 Hailstorm



In the days that followed, Zuo Ling stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.

I set a strict schedule for myself, spending two hours exercising each morning and afternoon.

The video that Panghuhu downloaded included military boxing, and she practiced it accordingly, though she doesn't know if it was done correctly.

Push-ups, sit-ups, planks, ice-based special abilities training... Zuo Ling practiced anything that could improve his combat power.

While searching a protective gear store, they found a box of climbing stones that could be glued to the wall.

Because the house was too low, Zuo Ling tried to stick the climbing stones at tricky angles to make it easier for her to train her climbing skills.

Recalling the night Tianjin was frozen over, she herself didn't know how she climbed onto the overpass.

She has luck, and she has made breakthroughs in times of crisis, but she can't be that lucky every time.

Seeing her climb the wall, the waterfall followed suit; the climbing ability of animals is unmatched by humans.

What was a difficult move for Zuo Ling, she accomplished with a single leap over the waterfall.

The waterfall leaped up and down, with Zuo Ling chasing after it.

Zuo Ling couldn't catch up with it, and the little guy stood on one leg triumphantly, mocking Zuo Ling for being too stupid. It would occasionally scratch Zuo Ling's face with its little paws, which made Zuo Ling so embarrassed that it chased after it. The boring training life became a little more interesting.

Knowing it was cold outside, the waterfall stopped clamoring to go out and play.

The video shows several sword techniques, but Zuo Ling, who doesn't have a long sword, practices with a watermelon knife.

Horizontal pushes, diagonal slashes, upward thrusts, downward cuts... the movements are powerful and impressive, quite intimidating at first glance.

Aside from exercising, Zuo Ling was either cooking or absorbing energy crystals, and occasionally making a few small clothes for the waterfall.

She used the back armor and tentacles of the Golden Spider-Man to modify a bulletproof vest for herself, modified the tentacles into gloves for sneaky people, and planned to make a bulletproof hood from the remaining back armor.

The Lantern Festival has quietly passed.

There was no lively Lantern Festival gala, no dazzling ice lanterns, and even the children's laughter was quieter. Too many people had died in the city, and no one knew what to celebrate.

One day, Zuo Ling, who was doing handicrafts, suddenly heard a scream from downstairs.

I thought it was an earthquake, but after feeling it, there was no tremor.

Looking down through the window, large snowflakes were interspersed with tiny, glittering objects the size of goose eggs, falling with a soft, pattering sound.

Oh my god, hail!

It was not just hail, but also snow and rain.

Temperatures were below -70 degrees Celsius, with snow and rain falling simultaneously! The snow was melting and freezing at the same time.

The snowplows that were in operation were hit with loud bangs, and the roof of one of the vehicles was smashed through.

Zuo Ling quickly shut off the pipes that purified rain and snow in her home.

Zuo Ling won't drink the water from the rain and snow filtration system, but it's good for cleaning the room and washing clothes.

The hailstorm lasted for half an hour, and unsurprisingly, the power went out and the internet was cut off. The area outside the building was a mess.

Property management staff were busy checking the snowplows, but the two snowplows managed to escape unharmed by taking shelter under the eaves of the property sales office.

The remaining four vehicles withstood half an hour of hail and rain, with the worst one being completely destroyed on the spot.

The remaining three vehicles were riddled with potholes, their windshields shattered, and they were in such a terrible state that it was hard to look at them. It was uncertain whether they could still be used.

Several managers were talking, occasionally shaking their heads.

Someone went out to check the situation, but after only a few steps, they slipped and fell. They got up, but slid even further...

Zuo Ling quickly went to check the water and gas supply... but they had stopped working.

Water outage, power outage, gas outage, internet outage – for the first time since the apocalypse, everything is shut down!

The residents of Noah's Ark Community will not lack food and drink for the next six months, so she needs to take advantage of this time to cook more food.

Looking ahead, it will be difficult to openly and honestly cook delicious food, which intensifies Zuo Ling's sense of urgency.

The space contains charcoal, wood, gas cylinders, and water, and the house has a large-capacity power storage box with a capacity of 1000 kilowatt-hours.

With water, electricity, and gas readily available, let's roll up our sleeves and get to work!

Braised duck with konjac, beer-braised duck, spicy pork intestines, braised pork with chestnuts, steamed sea bass, braised fish, sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, deep-fried chicken wings, braised pork knuckle with rock sugar, salt and pepper shrimp, braised chicken with scallion oil, braised chicken pieces, cumin lamb, twice-cooked pork, spicy hot pot, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, crab roe tofu casserole, stir-fried shrimp with green beans and corn, braised beef with potatoes, cold rabbit...

The cold-cooked rabbit was made with the waterfall on its back, so the little guy wouldn't get angry if he saw the corpse of his kind.

No matter how well a doomsday fortress is sealed, it can't stop the ever-present aroma of food.

Smelling the occasional aroma of food wafting through the air, Professor Jin said to his wife:

"The situation may get worse in the future, so let's make more cooked food in advance. It's cold, so we can put it on the north-facing balcony to freeze. It won't spoil, and we can use it to clear out our inventory."

Researcher Tang had the same idea, and the elderly couple immediately agreed and got to work with great enthusiasm.

Many families were already having headaches about water, electricity, and gas outages when they smelled that awful aroma of food, making them furious and cursing.

That's incredibly shameless! Our house is covered in ice crystals, and you're making delicious food there, are you trying to kill us?

Clever people figured it out: natural disasters are unpredictable, and since they need to light fires for warmth anyway, they can't waste energy, so they start frying, stir-frying, and cooking!

Few people living in Noah's Ark Community are fools.

Extreme cold, tsunamis, ice storms, earthquakes, and hailstorms have bombarded the public, and doomsday theories have spread among the people, with pessimism growing stronger.

Everyone is wondering how they will get through the days if the disaster situation doesn't improve.

Fearing water, power, and gas outages, many households stockpiled large amounts of water in advance, and also stored a considerable number of generators and gas cylinders.

The people in Building 3 were the first to get moving. With so many people cooking, there's bound to be someone with a sharp nose.

The people in buildings 1, 2, 4, and 5 started moving one after another.

Zuo Ling was unaware that her small action would trigger a chain reaction.

There weren't enough vegetarian dishes in the space, so she pondered what she should cook.
