Chapter 30 Going Out

The temperature dropped sharply to more than 30 degrees below zero. City A is located in the north-central part of the country. In the past, the lowest winter temperature was only about 10 degrees below zero. The temperature of more than 30 degrees below zero was unbearable for the people in City A who had never experienced extremely cold temperatures.

Not to mention that the temperature is still dropping from minus thirty degrees Celsius. The subsequent temperature drop will not be as sudden and drastic as it was on the first day, but will gradually drop to minus fifty degrees Celsius.

Torrential rains around the world destroyed most power systems. The arrival of extreme cold weather made it impossible to repair the power systems. People could no longer use electricity for heating, so they could only resort to the most primitive method of burning fires to keep warm.

In order to resist the cold weather, people dismantled all the flammable items within their homes, piled them together, and used them to make fires for heating.

The greenery in their community is really good. It was one of their selling points in the beginning. Now, those trees that are not completely frozen have become resources that people in the community are competing for. Several bloody fights have occurred in the community in just a few days. For a while, everyone in the community felt insecure.

These have nothing to do with Shuxin and the others. They plan to go out to find some things to adapt to the bad weather and bring back some supplies to hide their tracks.

Although the four of them were wrapped up tightly, they shivered from the cold the moment they left the community building.

Shu Xin silently wrapped herself tightly in her down jacket. Fortunately, she put a hot pack inside, otherwise she would not be able to withstand the temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius.

"Hiss—it's so cold!" Xiangwen shook his body slightly exaggeratedly.

"Let's go. The place we are going to today is quite far from here. Let's change our shoes and set off quickly." Yan Mo ruthlessly interrupted Xiang Wen's showoff.

"Um."

A few people quickly found a shelter, changed into the skates they were holding, waited for Yan Mo to confirm the direction, and then Shu Xin and the others quickly followed.

The ground was covered with thick and smooth ice, so they chose ice skates for their trip, which were convenient and not too eye-catching.

If you walk on the road with ordinary shoes, you will fall no matter how careful you are. Once you fall, the supplies you have worked so hard to find will be snatched away by the people who are spying on you. If you hold on to the supplies and don't give them, you will be beaten and kicked. By then, you will lose both the wife and the army. It is better to hand over the supplies directly at the beginning to avoid a beating. He who knows the current situation is a hero.

Shuxin and his team's destination this time was a commercial office building, which housed many high-tech companies, agricultural companies and biological companies. These three types of companies were their target this time.

In the future they will definitely have to build their own base. In the apocalypse, it is safest to have your life and property in your own hands. The existence of the base on the third level of Shuxin Space saves them the trouble of building a base in the early stages. They only need to kill more zombies and look for crystal cores.

The base is definitely not just for the four of them. When there are more people, eating becomes a big problem. Although there are a lot of supplies stored in the comfortable space, they are not renewable resources and cannot withstand the unlimited consumption of the people in the base. Being able to produce on their own is the long-term guarantee.

After skating for about half an hour, Shuxin and his friends arrived at their destination for the day. The high-end office building in front of them was far away from the city center. There were relatively few residents around, and people searched for supplies first in shopping malls, supermarkets and other places with plenty of food. There were no signs of other people breaking in, so the things inside should not have been damaged.

After finding a blind spot, Makimai took out tools from his bag and broke an entire solid glass window with almost no sound.

Shu Xin was watching from the sidelines and was amazed. Seeing the skilled technique, she knew that she must have done this kind of window-breaking thing many times before. She didn't know what shameful things Mu Qimai had done to help her boyfriend in the past. Would she...

"Hiss - why did you hit me?" Shu Xin suddenly felt a pain on his forehead. He covered the place where he was hit and looked at Yan Mo with accusatory eyes.

"What are you imagining? Breaking windows silently was one of our original training items. It was to enable us to leave quickly without alarming others in an emergency. It has nothing to do with the messy speculations in your mind."

Yan Mo knew Shu Xin's little expression very well. As soon as he saw her eyes move, he knew that she was starting to fantasize about something in her mind again.

"So that's how it is." Shu Xin covered her head and turned away, then turned back unwillingly, "Did the situation I thought really never happen?"

"no!"

"Oh~Okay then."

There was no affirmative answer, and Shuxin's voice revealed a hint of regret.

While Mu Qimai opened the window, Shuxin and the other two were not idle either. They changed their shoes and, taking advantage of Yan Mo's fake move of using space, Shuxin quickly put away her skates and took out the backpack she had prepared earlier.

Each of the four people had a black backpack. Shuxin and Yanmo, Xiangwen and Makimai were divided into two groups to collect supplies separately. The efficiency would be much higher if they acted separately.

If Xiangwen and Mu Qimai find something too big to take away, they can mark it first and wait for Yanmo and Shuxin to collect it.

During the three months, most of the things were not consumed. Most of the things consumed were the stockpiled prepared food. The rest were from the storage room at home. Before leaving, Shuxin went to the storage room to replenish the things she had used. I have to say that immersive replenishment is really a very healing process. Anyway, Shuxin has fallen in love with this feeling.

Integrate the things in the space and make room for the things you want to collect today.

Shu Xin and Yan Mo are responsible for searching the top ten floors. The eleventh to thirteenth floors belong to the same high-tech agricultural company. The new variety of crops they cultivated won an award last year.

It has the advantages of being drought-resistant and cold-resistant, insect-resistant and pest-resistant, and able to produce high yields even in poor soil. It was officially put into production this year. A large number of seeds were stored in the company's warehouse, and Shuxin put them all into his own space without any hesitation.

Shuxin took care to collect all the relevant information, books, computers for recording data, research equipment, etc., and put them all into the space.

With these things, you don't have to worry about not having data and tools for future research. Everything is ready, and when the time comes, you just need to find a great idiot who knows these and give the things to him to research.

(Some future big shot: Thank you so much for planning this so early! Really screwed!)
