In the blink of an eye, another five days passed. In this city submerged in snow, it looked calm on the surface. However, beneath the calm surface, the surviving residents in the residential buildings were becoming more and more crazy, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of atrocities. The bestiality of human beings had completely faded away. Killing for a pack of instant noodles was not uncommon, and even cannibalism occurred from time to time. There were very few people who still maintained their conscience.
The same is true for the residents of Building 7 in Mingyue Community. The material search team has been out for five days, and there has been no news during these five days. Many residents don't even have food to hand over to Qin Shuai, let alone eat it themselves.
Faced with those residents who could not pay grain, Qin Shuai showed no mercy even though he knew they really could not pay. He ordered his men to kill them one by one. Although he could not squeeze much profit from them, at least it could intimidate others. If he left them alone, those who had grain would use the excuse of having no grain to not pay them.
The surviving residents had thought about resisting, but they had not had a full meal for a long time, so they were no match for Qin Shuai and his men who had guns. If they had united to fight Qin Shuai from the beginning, it would never have come to this.
Seeing that everyone had no more food to hand over, and that the members of the supply search team would not be coming back, Qin Shuai turned his attention to the families of Liu Yuan and other members of the supply search team. However, several families were now living together, and there were still more than ten people in total. They did not dare to attack by force, but simply no longer granted them the policy of exempting them from handing over food.
Just when the families of Liu Yuan and others were running out of food and were facing the possibility of not being able to pay for food, the members of the material search team came back. However, this time they were not 5 people, but more than 20 people, and all of them were armed with guns. They rushed directly into Building 7 and wiped out Liu Yuan and his gang. After a brief rest of two hours, they took their families away. They still had to go to other communities to pick up the families of other members.
During the rest period, Liu Yuan met with Li Mu and told him about his experiences in the past few days.
After the five of them left that day, they did go to a large shopping mall two kilometers away, but that mall had already been occupied. From the frozen corpses outside the mall, it could be seen that many conflicts had broken out there, so they had to retreat.
Liu Yuan was not too surprised by this result. After all, they who were two kilometers away could think of the mall, so the residents near the mall would naturally have taken action long ago. Liu Yuan's target was not the mall, but a warehouse near the mall. The school's School of Geology had a batch of tools stored here, and he happened to have the key. After opening the warehouse and getting the necessary tools, several people turned back. However, this time they did not return to Mingyue Community, but went directly to Haidu University. Relying on the drawings and his familiarity with the school, Liu Yuan led everyone to dig for two full days before finding the entrance to the underground passage. During this period, some other members they contacted also rushed over one after another. Some of them were residents of other communities, but most of them were some surviving students of Haidu University. Their team soon expanded to more than 50 people. After another 3 days of hard work, everyone finally cleared the entrance to the passage.
Liu Yuan was right in his bet. Although some of the food stored in the passage had rotted, most of it was still edible. What was surprising was that there were also weapons and ammunition inside. Although they were products from decades ago, they were still usable.
Half of the people were left to clean up the underground passage, while the others picked up their weapons and rushed back to pick up their families, leading to the current scene.
Liu Yuan once again invited Li Mu to live in the underground granary, but Li Mu refused again and reminded Liu Yuan not to absorb too many people into it. After all, it would be difficult to control if there were too many people. Liu Yuan nodded solemnly.
Other residents guessed that Liu Yuan and his team must have found a large amount of supplies, and begged Liu Yuan to take them with him, but Liu Yuan refused without hesitation. Some people scolded Liu Yuan and his team for being heartless, saying that they found food but watched their neighbors starve to death. Some even wanted to kidnap the family members of Liu Yuan's team members as a threat, but they were met with a ruthless bullet in return.
In such troubled times, the lives of themselves and their families are the most important. Anyone who dares to threaten them will naturally be mercilessly dealt with. It is not without opportunities for them to leave with Liu Yuan, but they had been given opportunities before and they did not seize them. They just wanted to sit back and reap the fruits of their labor. How could such a good thing happen?
However, before Liu Yuan and others left, they left two bags of rice for the residents of Building 7, weighing about 100 kilograms. They did not take away the food looted by Qin Shuai and others. There were only about 40 residents left in the building. The food left for them was enough for them to survive for several days. During this period, if they had the courage to go out and fight, they might be able to fight for a way to survive.
Liu Yuan and others left, and Qin Shuai and his gang of exploiters were also wiped out. The remaining residents fought to snatch the supplies left for them by Liu Yuan. Two people were killed and three were seriously injured during the looting.
Building 7 enjoyed a brief period of peace in the following period. During this period, some people chose to leave Mingyue Community in order to survive and look for places that could provide them with shelter. Some people chose to become predators and began to rob other residents of their food.
Li Mu didn't pay too much attention to all this. There were so many people on the earth that he couldn't take care of them all. His only hope was to restart everything after he successfully controlled the Pangu Universe. Otherwise, everything he did now would not make much sense.
On the 60th day after the snowstorm, the one-hour daily power supply was cut off from some unknown time. Li Mu and Xu Ling were the only three people left in the entire building. The rest were either dead or had moved away. The entire Mingyue Community fell into deathly silence. From time to time, dull roars were heard from some buildings, and it was unclear whether they were from humans or ghosts. It was creepy to hear them.
Xu Ling and the other two felt that they were very lucky to have become neighbors with Li Mu before the snowstorm, and to have gotten along very well with Li Mu. Otherwise, they were afraid that they would not have been able to hold on for even half a month and would have become the first residents of Building 7 to be eliminated.
But now they don’t have to worry about food, and they can even enjoy heating in the house. All of this is given by Li Mu.
But now they are not happy at all. The snowstorm has been happening for so many days, and they have to start worrying about the safety of their families.
