With the total number of people and the total amount of food, everyone quickly determined how much each household should receive. After informing the chat group of the results, it was time to distribute the food.
However, since the distribution was carried out at Li Mu's home, it was inevitable that it would cause a sensation. Most families came to take away their own food, and not long after, they returned to Li Mu's home with their families. Li Mu's home was only about 100 square meters, and it was extremely crowded for a while. In order to disperse the crowd, Liu Yuan's mother, Aunt Wang, also came to the scene and worked for a long time, which delayed a lot of time.
By the time the food was distributed, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening. Although the temperature in the house had dropped a lot due to the constant flow of people coming in and out during this period, and now remained at around 0 degrees, it was still like heaven compared to the outside, which gave the people in the original coordination team new ideas.
"Hey~ Brother, I think that your house is so spacious, it's a bit of a waste to turn on the air conditioner and enjoy it alone. You see, we brothers have worked hard to distribute food to everyone, and now we are exhausted..."
"Zhou Qiming, don't push your luck! Mr. Li owes you nothing. Even half of the food your family gets was given to you by Mr. Li. Now follow me!" Liu Yuan shouted.
"Who are you? Liu Yuan, I have tolerated you for a long time. You are just a poor teacher, do you really think you are a leader?" Zhou Qiming responded bluntly.
"That's right, Liu Yuan, why are you pretending? Before, you kept saying that we should share resources, but now we just want to use the air conditioning at this kid's house, and you are against us everywhere. Haha, I think the purpose of your doing this is to curry favor with this kid, right?"
"Old Liu, you are confused. Although half of our supplies come from Li Mu, if you think about it carefully, we only have half a month left. We can get through without his half of supplies. This Li has stored so much food. Can he finish it in half a month? If he uses it now, he will not only gain fame, but also make a lot of money. We don't owe him anything!"
"Xiao Yan, Mr. Li never asked for money. Wasn't it you who proposed to compensate Mr. Li 10 times the price?" Liu Yuan was furious. He finally saw what a rogue was.
"Okay, all of you can go out. As for compensation, don't worry. I won't accept it even if you are willing to give it to me." Li Mu said lightly. Most of the people in this building were not worth his rescue. Today was the first time he distributed food to them, and it would also be the last time. In these 10 years, the food he gave them would not be of any use at all. It would only allow them to survive a few more days.
When everyone heard what Li Mu said, they were immediately delighted and left contentedly. In their opinion, the generator in Li Mu's home could only last until the second half of the night. Staying here for too long would make them unable to adapt to the extremely cold temperature. Instead of staying here, it would be better to fight for some practical things. Obviously, the money for ten times the supplies was very practical.
Seeing the faces of Yan Ping and others, Liu Yuan sighed deeply and said to Li Mu with some guilt: "Mr. Li, I didn't expect things to develop like this. I originally thought that some people might be short of supplies at home, while some might have some surplus. If everyone shared the money equally, the half month would pass. But your generosity not only did not make them grateful, but instead attracted a group of ungrateful people. If I had known this... Alas, Mr. Li, don't worry, I will make up for the price of the supplies you paid after the snowstorm."
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "No need, you have no obligation to do so."
"How can that be? This matter was caused by me after all, and you bought all those foods with your own money." Liu Yuan said anxiously.
"Haha, okay, if we can really wait until that day." Li Mu said with a smile.
"Does Mr. Li also think that the snowstorm will not end in half a month?" Liu Yuan's face changed.
"Professor Liu, even you think that what the experts say is unreliable?" Xu Ling said with eyes wide open. Liu Yuan is a professor at Haidu University. Although his research direction is geology rather than climatology, his cognitive ability is definitely much stronger than that of ordinary people. Moreover, climate is caused by many factors. It is hard to say that this heavy snow has nothing to do with the movement of the earth's crust.
"Well, this extreme weather came too suddenly and without any warning. Our Haidu has been hit by the disaster for so long but has not received any help from the outside world. This is very abnormal. I suspect that the entire country and even the entire earth has been affected by this disaster." Liu Yuan frowned.
"Ah~? The whole world? How is that possible? Even the Earth during the Ice Age wasn't so exaggerated, right?" Jia Qian said in surprise.
Liu Yuan nodded and said solemnly, "According to research, there have been a total of 11 ice ages on Earth, of which the Cryogenian period 800 million to 600 million years ago may be the most severe ice age in Earth's history. At that time, the entire Earth may have been covered by ice, and countless lives were extinct. Now that the sea has reached more than 50 degrees below zero, it is conceivable that this time is much more serious than the worst ice age! Even if we are optimistic and can really end the extreme weather within a month this time, have you ever thought that in this kind of weather, crops and animal husbandry will definitely collapse completely, and factories of all sizes will definitely be ruined. It is impossible to restore to the previous material production state without spending 5 years."
Xu Ling and the other two were already frightened silly at this point.
"Moreover, this is the most optimistic estimate. If the Earth really enters an ice age, then such extreme weather will last for tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years. If that is the case, then our human civilization will end here." Liu Yuan smiled bitterly.
"Aren't there many gods living on Kunlun Mountain in our Great Xia? They will definitely take action, right?" Xu Ling asked expectantly.
"Haha, a god? Maybe." Liu Yuan did not refute Xu Ling. This was not only for Xu Ling and the others, but also for himself to keep the last glimmer of hope in his heart.
The scene fell into silence for a while. Liu Yuan noticed that Li Mu's expression was very calm, as if the matter they were discussing just now had nothing to do with Li Mu. He couldn't help but ask Li Mu: "Mr. Li, in your opinion, can the gods save us humans?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "At least not now, maybe 10 years later!"
"Uh..." Everyone had a strange look on their faces. They didn't know where Li Mu got the 10-year deadline from. If they really had to wait 10 years, the Earth civilization would have disappeared long ago, and life would probably have to evolve all over again.
