The atmosphere became awkward. Liu Yuan felt embarrassed to stay here any longer, lest Li Mu think he was just using the heating. Then he put on his clothes, carried the food allocated to his family, and left.
The biting cold air made him shiver when he went out, and he couldn't help but regret not finding a topic to talk to Li Mu for a while longer.
"Professor Liu, the future will be difficult. If you need any help, you can come to me at any time." Li Mu shouted behind Liu Yuan.
"Thank you very much!" Liu Yuan thanked him and then disappeared into the dark corridor.
Liu Yuan didn't really take Li Mu's words to heart. After all, after the coordinated distribution of supplies, Li Mu might even have less food than some people who concealed the supplies. Thinking of this, Liu Yuan sighed deeply in his heart. He regretted initiating this coordinated distribution of supplies. After all, he knew that the snowstorm would not end so soon, so what was the point of coordinated distribution of supplies? If the supplies were not coordinated, Li Mu would have enough supplies at home to live for two or three years.
After Liu Yuan left, Xu Ling and the other two said goodbye to Li Mu reluctantly. After all, they thought they had shamelessly stayed in Li Mu's house for too long.
"Wait." Just as they put on thick clothes and prepared to leave, Li Mu stopped them.
The three were puzzled.
"You guys stay tonight." Li Mu said lightly.
"Ah~? Brother Li Mu, you...you wouldn't? No! We would rather die in glory than live in disgrace. We won't agree to that." Xu Ling's face flushed red, and she said firmly. The other two women also looked at Li Mu with vigilance, ready to escape at any time. They had also read doomsday-themed literary works before, in which women would even sell themselves for a pack of instant noodles, and Li Mu
Li Mu laughed in silence and said to the three people: "What are you thinking? I mean it's cold outside, you can sleep here with me tonight, and I will help you renovate your room tomorrow."
"Oh~" The three of them nodded with blushing faces. It turned out that they were overthinking. They were naturally tempted to live with Li Mu's place. Besides, there were enough rooms and it didn't matter if they were empty.
Although the three of them were very curious about how Li Mu would renovate their home and what he would use to do it, they were too embarrassed to ask in this situation. They had no choice but to pick up their quilts and quickly ran to Li Mu's house and found a room to crawl into.
That night, the residents of the entire building felt an unprecedented sense of security and slept particularly soundly. However, the freezing wind was still howling outside the windows, and the violent ice and snow in the darkness seemed to swallow everyone.
At about 9 o'clock the next morning, the daily one-hour electricity supply arrived as scheduled, and every household prepared meat to reward themselves and their families.
Xu Ling and the other two also woke up early, for fear of missing the power supply time. Although the generator in Li Mu's house was still working, in the spirit of saving, they still ran back to their own home to cook a "delicious meal" and brought it to Li Mu's house to share with Li Mu.
Li Mu had no interest in the dark cuisine made by Xu Ling and the other two. He took out two low-level spiritual fruits from his Qiankun Ring, ate them, and then started to renovate the house of Xu Ling and the other two.
In fact, the so-called renovation was just to bring the electricity from his side to their room and then modify the air conditioner. Before the three of them finished their breakfast, Li Mu had completed the renovation of their house.
As for supplies, Li Mu did not prepare anything extra for them for the time being. After all, the supplies distributed yesterday were enough for them to eat for a while, and it would be difficult for them to preserve them if he gave them too much.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed, and 13 days had passed since the disaster. The wind and snow gradually stopped, and people were excited. There was a wave of praise for the experts in the group. But soon everyone realized that something was wrong. As the wind and snow stopped, the temperature not only did not rise, but became lower and lower.
On the 18th day of extremely cold weather, the outdoor temperature had reached more than 70 degrees below zero. No one could remain calm anymore. There was a wailing in the group, and there were endless curses against the experts, doomsday arguments, and complaints. All of them were negative energy. Liu Yuan had to turn on the mute mode to prevent everyone from being affected by their emotions and developing symptoms such as depression.
On the 20th day of extremely cold temperatures, Li Mu was pulled into a new group. When he clicked on it, he saw that they were all owners of Building 7.
1502 Qin Shuai: "Everyone, to be honest, I didn't control my food consumption in the past few days, and now there is not much left. Can anyone lend me some?"
There was a moment of silence in the group. At this time, food is life, and anyone who lends it to others would be throwing meat buns at a dog.
1502 Qin Shuai: "It seems that everyone is in trouble. It's okay. I'll buy it, okay? A pound of meat is 2,000 yuan, a pound of rice or flour is 1,000 yuan, and a bag of instant noodles is 500 yuan. If anyone is willing to sell it to me, I can pay cash!"
1701Yan Ping: "Haha, your money is so big!"
1502 Qin Shuai: "The money is negotiable. How about I double it?"
1502 Qin Shuai: "Double it! You have to think it over. The experts said the snowstorm will end in 5 days. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again."
1701 Yang Suqing: "That means a pound of meat is 6,000, rice and flour is 3,000, and instant noodles is 1,500, right?"
1502 Qin Shuai: "Haha, that's right! Everyone, the snowstorm will end in only 5 days. What's the point of keeping the extra food? Sell it to me, and you can use the money to pay off your mortgage, buy bags, etc. Think carefully."
1701 Yang Suqing: "Okay, I'll sell you 5 kilograms of rice, will you take it?"
1502 Qin Shuai: "Haha, no problem, just send it to my doorstep and I'll give you cash on the spot."
After that, several more households reached transaction intentions with Qin Shuai. According to preliminary estimates, there were 17 kilograms of rice, 4 kilograms of meat, and 11 buckets (bags) of instant noodles.
801 Invincible Girls Group: "@1502 Qin Shuai, you keep saying that the blizzard will end in 5 days, but you have already collected so much food. I remember there are only two people in your family, right? Can you finish it?"
1502 Qin Shuai: "Haha, I value my life, so I feel at ease when I save more things. I have plenty of money, beauty, the three girls in your family can't eat so much, right? Why don't you give me some of it? I can use it to buy bags after the snowstorm is over!"
801 Invincible Girls Group: “No need.”
In fact, everyone in the group knew that the snowstorm would most likely not end in five days, but they still held on to a glimmer of hope that exchanging one or two days’ food for a month’s salary was worth a try.
At this time in room 1502, Qin Shuai was holding a woman with messy hair in one hand, not minding that the woman hadn't showered for 20 days. Everyone was the same, so there was no need to care about it. With the other hand, he was holding his phone, looking at the content in the group, with a smile on his face.
