Chapter 29 The Cold Arrives
A drop of cold sweat dripped from his forehead and flowed down his neck. Fei Jun swallowed hard, twisting his posture and not daring to shake at all, for he was afraid that if Ye Yu'an's hand shook, he would lose his life.
"Don't show up on the 25th floor again. If you do that again, the knife will directly cut your aorta, and blood will flow through the wound to the damaged part of your trachea. Blood or blood clots will be inhaled into your trachea, causing difficulty breathing or even suffocation. You will clearly feel the process of death. If you want to experience the feeling I'm talking about, just come and die."
The cold blade pointed at the man's neck, scratching the skin immediately with a light touch, leaving a thin line of blood. Ye Yu'an's icy voice coupled with the stinging pain on his neck made Fei Jun unable to resist at all, nor did he dare to nod. He just blinked wildly to indicate that he understood.
"Get lost!" Ye Yu'an retracted the knife in his hand, watched those people leave the 25th floor in a panic, and turned back home.
These people who lived in the same building in the community posed no threat to her, just annoyances.
The door of the stairwell on the 25th floor was broken. There must be someone living in the stairwell, so they can forget about living in the corridor. She didn't want the door to be filled with all kinds of garbage, but it would be difficult to avoid being discovered if she went out alone again in the future.
“Tsk—”
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. The urge to kill someone came back. Ye Yu'an simply took out some ingredients from the space and cooked a meal to distract himself and calm himself.
Time gradually came to the end of the rainstorm disaster. During these three months, the social order established over the years collapsed and the credibility of the official government dropped to the lowest level. Amid the chaos in other buildings in the community, only the building where Shu Xin and Ye Yu'an lived was exceptionally quiet.
During the past three months, under the devilish training of Yan Mo and Mu Qimai, Shu Xin and Fu Xiangwen's progress can't be said to be rapid, but it is still rapid. There is not a trace of excess fat on their bodies, and their appearance has not changed much, but they look more energetic.
The rainstorm was visibly getting smaller, and people seemed to see hope of returning to normal. Even if they were relieved and didn't go downstairs, they could feel the excitement of others from the excited voices of those living in the stairwell when they occasionally opened the door.
As people expected, the rainstorm finally stopped in the afternoon three days later. When the rainstorm stopped, people from different places across the country burst into cheers of joy, celebrating that the disaster was finally over and normal life would soon resume.
The flood that rose to the 18th floor receded very quickly, and in just half a day it had fallen below the 10th floor. People swiftly packed up their few remaining belongings, ready to move back to their homes at any time.
As soon as Shuxin knew the rain had stopped, she began to take out the stove, thickened down quilt, thickened bed sets, thickened down jackets, small sun, baby warmers and other cold-proof items that would be needed during the extremely cold period from the space. She piled them up in the entire room before stopping.
After Shu Xin took out all the things, Yan Mo took Mu Xiangwen and Mu Qimai upstairs to move things. The four of them spent the entire afternoon and one and a half nights cleaning up, and renovated all the places where they often gathered.
A largest stove was installed in the living room to provide floor heating for the entire house. A smokeless stove with excellent heat dissipation performance was also installed in the bedroom where they slept. Four or five super thick quilts were placed on the beds, and all four-piece sets were replaced with velvet. Three or four more quilts were placed on each bed to facilitate adding more quilts when they felt cold while sleeping.
The floor is covered with a thick layer of carpet, and even the door handles are wrapped with a layer of velvet to provide all-round protection.
The water level will continue to recede for a day. This day seems to be the last breathing time God gives to mankind. When the time is up, people will be greeted by an even more brutal disaster.
If someone could seize the opportunity of this day and go out to find some food, it would be much better in the early stage of extreme cold. Unfortunately, few people can seize the opportunity.
As people were immersed in the joy that the rainstorm had finally ended and celebrating their survival, no one noticed that a new round of danger was quietly approaching.
As the morning wore on, the temperature dropped precipitously. The heater had already been lit in the house, and the floor heating was also warm. I stood by the window wrapped in a blanket and watched the thermometer outside drop from 20 degrees to single digits in just a few seconds. It was so fast that the thermometer
The temperature is still dropping. I wonder how many people will die quietly in the silent darkness tonight.
The glass window in front of her, which was still wet with rain, was already covered with a thin layer of white frost. Shu Xin had no intention of continuing to look at it, so she pulled the curtain, turned around, and lay back down on the bed to sleep.
The development of the world has long been predetermined. She is still unable to truly adapt to the rules of survival in this world. It is difficult for her to survive alone in this world, and she is not yet able to provide assistance to others. Even in the face of such a subversive disaster, the officials who have integrated the power and resources of a country can only do very limited things.
The next morning, when people woke up, they were horrified to find that the temperature was abnormally cold. They shivered and wrapped themselves tightly in the quilt. When they turned around, they found that the person sleeping next to them had been frozen stiff and not breathing.
One after another, cries of grief were heard in every building in the community. Everyone woke up to find that their loved ones had been frozen to death in their sleep. The day before, they were happy that the rainstorm was finally over, but the next day they found that there was much more waiting for them.
After one night, the flood that had not completely receded was directly frozen. Looking around, everything was white, and the outside had turned into a world of ice and snow.
Even the most insensitive people realized that this disaster might really be the end of the world. The double blow of loss of hope and the death of loved ones caused some people with poor psychological endurance to faint on the spot, unwilling to accept the cruel reality.
Another group of people who committed crimes during the rainstorm had a completely different mood.
The rainstorm stopped, and those who had done a lot of bad things in the past three months were all worried that they would be arrested and imprisoned for trial, and they were terrified in their hearts all day long.
The arrival of extreme cold made them feel completely relieved. It seemed that it was really like what was said on the Internet, that the end of the world had come, and no one would hold them accountable for their evil deeds, so they could continue to live their reckless lives.
The social civilization and order that took thousands of years to build finally collapsed completely after the arrival of the extreme cold.
