Stockpiling in the Apocalypse: Supplies Forging a Legend of Survival

Hearing this, the corners of Liu Ruoyan's mouth curved into a sarcastic arc.

Drop by fifty or sixty degrees?

It wouldn't be long before the aunt's wish would be fulfilled!

Not only would her wish be fulfilled, but there would even be an extra bonus by then!

On the night when the extreme cold arrived, the temperature dropped directly from thirty or forty degrees above zero to more than twenty degrees below zero, and heavy snow fell all over the sky.

By the next day during the day, the temperature had dropped even further to thirty or forty degrees below zero.

After that, the temperature continued to drop every day until it stopped dropping after breaking through fifty or sixty degrees below zero.

Liu Ruoyan had originally planned to go out, but after hearing the aunt's words, she gave up this idea.

Until the aunt's voice completely disappeared and Zhang Yuan across the way also closed his door, Liu Ruoyan waited for another ten or more minutes. Then she took the lunch box out of her space, opened the door, and came to Zhang Yuan's door.

Knock, knock, knock.

Liu Ruoyan knocked three times, and the door opened from the inside.

Seeing Liu Ruoyan, Zhang Yuan didn't show a surprised expression but instead smiled and said, "Did you hear what that aunt downstairs just said? Just ignore her."

Liu Ruoyan smiled. "I didn't plan to pay attention to her either."

The base had already informed the people that the temperature was going to drop and asked everyone to prepare winter supplies as best they could, but there were still some people who didn't listen or believe.

For such people, saying one more word to them was a waste of saliva.

Liu Ruoyan handed over the lunch box. "I made some canned stewed beef brisket with tomatoes and steamed some rice. I brought you some."

The supermarket in the base had canned stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, but the price wasn't cheap. One can cost five contribution points.

Zhang Yuan's expression was extremely surprised. He took the lunch box that Liu Ruoyan handed over with one hand. "Thank you! You're really a beautiful and kind-hearted little fairy!"

Hearing Zhang Yuan's words, Liu Ruoyan couldn't help but think of the day when they first met. He had said the same thing back then.

Liu Ruoyan's eyes and brows were tinged with a bit of a smile. "Eat it while it's hot. I'll go back first!"

"I'll wash the lunch box clean and return it to you later." Zhang Yuan said seriously.

"Okay."

After getting home, Liu Ruoyan also went back to her bedroom to eat.

She also ate stewed beef brisket with tomatoes over rice, but she also took out a plate of stir-fried green vegetables and a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup.

While eating, Liu Ruoyan was constantly thinking about when exactly the extreme cold would arrive.

After all, the extreme heat had arrived ahead of schedule. Who knew if the time of the extreme cold's arrival would change.

According to the trajectory of her previous life, the extreme cold should have arrived a week later, but Liu Ruoyan wasn't sure about it now.

After the meal, Liu Ruoyan simply took out all the things for emergency cold protection.

The electric oil heaters, warm air blowers, and small suns were all placed properly, facing the places where she usually stayed, and plugged in at the same time.

When needed, one only needed to turn on the switch.

Not only that, Liu Ruoyan also lifted the bedspread.

The mattress could originally be slept on directly, but thinking of the extreme cold, Liu Ruoyan still laid a thick quilt weighing ten catties on it.

She then laid an electric blanket on the quilt, finally covered it with a cashmere bedsheet, and laid an ice silk bedsheet on top.

The clothes to be worn at that time were all neatly packed and placed separately in an empty space in her space.

As long as she had a thought, the clothes could immediately appear in her hands.

Liu Ruoyan also cleaned the stove, added firewood inside, and placed flammable tin foil and straw.

Everything was ready except for lighting the fire.

After preparing everything, Liu Ruoyan was just waiting for the extreme cold to arrive.

Fortunately, at this time, people were all active at night and resting during the day.

Under normal circumstances, when the extreme cold arrived, most people would be awake.

There probably wouldn't be many cases of people being frozen to death in their sleep.

Three days passed in a flash.

That night, Liu Ruoyan was too lazy to cook and took out some kebabs to eat.

Just after taking a sip of ice-cold beer, Liu Ruoyan suddenly felt a chill to the bone.

Not only was it a chill to the bone, but her body also felt a bit cold.

Liu Ruoyan quickly went to look at the mutton kebabs on the table. The mutton kebabs, which were sizzling with oil just a moment ago, now had the fatty parts turning a bit white instead of being transparent, obviously because they had cooled and solidified.

Under normal circumstances, mutton kebabs couldn't cool down just after being taken out.

So there was only one possibility, that the temperature had dropped.

Liu Ruoyan immediately put the beer, kebabs, and the small table together into her space, stood up to turn off the air-conditioning fan, and˳ By the way turned on the switches of the heating devices.

Turning around, Liu Ruoyan walked to the bed in a few steps, lifted the ice silk bedsheet with one hand, and sat on the bed.

Even though she was being illuminated by three small suns at the same time, Liu Ruoyan still felt colder and colder.

Liu Ruoyan took out the clothes she had prepared in advance, shivering as she took off her short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and with her already somewhat stiff hands and feet, put on the thermal underwear that Zhang Yuan had given her.

After putting on the clothes, a sense of warmth finally spread through her body, but it was far from enough.

Liu Ruoyan then picked up a cashmere sweater and put it on, put on thick coral fleece pants, and finally put on a three-layer thick coral fleece pajama that could cover her ankles.

The pajama had a hood, which Liu Ruoyan put directly on her head.

Illuminated by the three small suns and wearing thick thermal clothes, Liu Ruoyan finally let out a long breath and felt alive again.

The warm air blower and the electric oil heater also started to work, but compared to the dropped temperature, the effect they could have now was minimal.

Liu Ruoyan took out thick woolen socks and put them on before getting off the bed.

She rolled up the bamboo mat on the floor and put it into her space, and then laid the cashmere carpet.

The carpet covered the area around the bed, but there was still a distance from the stove, so there was no need to worry about sparks splashing onto it.

Liu Ruoyan came to the stove, took out a lighter, and lit the straw and tin foil inside.

Both of these could burn fully in an instant, and the fire flared up immediately.

The firewood placed inside was all thin, dry small wooden sticks, and they gradually started to burn as well.

Liu Ruoyan watched them burn and then used an iron hook to hook the iron ring and cover it on top.

After the iron ring was covered, the smoke produced by the burning of the firewood would be discharged through the smoke exhaust pipe.

Since the stove was installed, this was the first time it was lit. Liu Ruoyan wasn't in a hurry to put charcoal in. She first wanted to see how the sealing of the smoke exhaust pipe was.

After confirming that there would be no smoke leakage, Liu Ruoyan then used the iron hook to lift the iron ring and put charcoal inside.

She didn't feel it when she was busy, but after getting the stove going, Liu Ruoyan realized that her hands and feet were a bit stiff.

Liu Ruoyan took out a room thermometer. After waiting for a while and looking at it, she saw clearly that the current room temperature was minus ten degrees.

Who could have thought that just ten or twenty minutes ago, the temperature in this room was still more than twenty degrees above zero.

Liu Ruoyan took out a mask, put on gloves, and finally put on thick snow boots, fully arming herself before opening the bedroom door and walking out.

Just as she walked out of the bedroom, Liu Ruoyan was so cold that she shuddered.

When she was in the bedroom, all the heating devices were in use, so the cold was limited.

But the cold outside was real and intense!
