Stockpiling in the Apocalypse: Supplies Forging a Legend of Survival

Liu Ruyan planned to go to the bathroom.

Although she knew that the water pipes must be frozen by now and she couldn't flush the toilet openly anymore.

But even if she had to use cat litter, Liu Ruyan still planned to go to the bathroom.

Going to the toilet definitely requires going to the bathroom. The sense of ceremony must be there!

Liu Ruyan put on her mask and hat, and even changed into a pair of gloves with separated fingers before opening the bedroom door.

The doors and windows inside the house were tightly closed, so there was no wind naturally.

However, the cold air still rushed towards her the moment the door was opened, so chilly that Liu Ruyan felt pain when breathing.

Liu Ruyan stood at the doorway, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly closed the bedroom door and walked towards the bathroom.

Three minutes later, Liu Ruyan came out of the bathroom and trotted back to the bedroom.

Liu Ruyan took out her toiletries and thought while brushing her teeth that going to the toilet needed a sense of ceremony, but forget about washing up.

If she washed up in the bathroom, Liu Ruyan thought that the toothpaste in her mouth would not only not foam but might even turn into ice chips.

Just thinking about that situation made Liu Ruyan's mouth ache.

After washing up, Liu Ruyan carefully applied face cream and hand cream to herself.

Even though the temperature in the house wasn't that low, the necessary precautions still had to be taken.

For breakfast, Liu Ruyan had steaming millet and red date porridge, a cage of small steamed buns, and a boiled egg.

After having a meal and getting some heat in her body, Liu Ruyan became interested and went to the window, opened the curtain and looked outside.

Liu Ruyan hadn't looked outside during daylight for a year. Now, seeing the bright outside with an unobstructed view, she even felt a bit dazed.

But soon, Liu Ruyan came to her senses.

There was no scorching sun or harmful sunlight anymore, but the heavy snowstorm had trapped people at home, and not a single person could be seen outside.

After a night, the wind was strong and the snow was heavy, and the snow outside was already ten centimeters thick.

Listening to the howling of the cold wind, Liu Ruyan thought of the old lady on the fifth floor.

The temperature drop came late but surely. She didn't know what mood the old lady was in at the moment.

It wasn't until the next day that Liu Ruyan got some news from Zhang Yuan.

Although the base had notified in advance about the temperature drop, it hadn't specified the exact time.

The sudden temperature drop that night had made those who were outdoors at that time suffer a lot.

Fortunately, everyone had prepared winter clothes in advance. They ran home with all their might to put them on, and most of them were okay.

Some people didn't take the base's notice seriously and didn't prepare warm clothes. It was no wonder they got frozen to death or frostbitten.

That was the situation in the base, not to mention outside the base. She didn't know how many lives this sudden temperature drop would claim.

Liu Ruyan didn't think too much about this issue.

Her ability was limited, and she had no intention of being a savior. She just wanted to live her life well on her own.

After two days of recovery in the base, seeing that the snowstorm outside didn't stop and the temperature was getting lower and lower, there was no more luckily.

The extreme heat had finally ended, but the extreme cold had arrived.

More than a year ago, who would have believed that it would snow heavily in June and July, and the temperature would drop to minus fifty or sixty degrees.

The earth was no longer the familiar earth, and the climate was no longer the familiar climate.

However, no matter what, no one wanted to die like this. Everyone wanted to struggle to live.

To live until the disaster ended and everything returned to normal.

When it was hot, eating some raw and cold things made one feel comfortable all over.

But at this temperature, without eating something hot and having no heat in the body, one couldn't hold on at all.

Eating hot food was just the basic. To live well in such weather, one also had to find a way to keep warm.

The base was converted from a scenic area. Only some places had air conditioners, and most places had neither air conditioners nor heating.

Like the house Liu Ruyan rented, it had neither air conditioners nor heating.

People could only use the most primitive way to keep warm, that is, by making a fire.

During the day, Liu Ruyan could see that gradually there were people moving around outside downstairs.

These people wrapped themselves up tightly and looked like bears from a distance.

Wearing thick clothes would affect movement. Coupled with the strong wind and heavy snow, and the snow on the ground was already knee-high, which further hindered movement, they all walked very slowly.

Their goal was clear, which was to go towards the trees in the base.

Because there was a lot of water in the first base, although the small flowers and grass were sunburnt to death, most of the trees were still alive, though half-dead.

Now that the weather had suddenly turned cold, in just two days, the remaining wilted leaves on these trees had all quickly withered and fallen off.

Looking at those bare branches, Liu Ruyan knew that they wouldn't last long.

Liu Ruyan didn't know how many people there were in the base, but the number must be quite a lot.

Even if there were quite a lot of trees in the base, they couldn't withstand the felling of so many people.

Liu Ruyan of course wouldn't think there was anything wrong with these people felling trees, even if many of these trees were precious ancient trees that had lived for many years.

But when people were struggling to survive, who would care about the origin of a tree.

Liu Ruyan had no intention of going out except for looking outside from the window every day.

She had fuel and food, and could be self-sufficient in the house. There was no need to go out and compete with these people for survival resources.

As for going out to put on an appearance or something, that was even more unnecessary.

Previously, she and Zhang Yuan had carried so many boxes up. Except for Zhang Yuan, who knew what was really inside? Naturally, she could say whatever was inside.

To Liu Ruyan's surprise, she didn't want to go out and compete with others for survival resources, but someone wanted to rob her of her survival resources.

In the middle of the night that day, Liu Ruyan was sleeping when she heard some clattering sounds.

At first, Liu Ruyan didn't pay attention and just turned over, intending to continue sleeping.

But the sound became clearer and clearer, as if it was not far from her.

In the darkness, Liu Ruyan slowly opened her eyes. There was no sleepiness in her eyes, only clarity.

It was pitch black in front of her, but Liu Ruyan could hear more clearly. The sound was clearly that of someone dismantling the iron fence gate.

After confirming the source of the sound, Liu Ruyan rolled over and sat up, took out her clothes and put them on one by one.

Since she was going outside, Liu Ruyan didn't wear her pajamas. Instead, after putting on a sweater, she put on a down jacket for cold protection inside, and then put on a green military overcoat outside.

She also wore black leather boots instead of snow boots on her feet.

After putting on her mask, leather hat, and leather gloves, Liu Ruyan opened the bedroom door and walked out.

When she came to the front door, just separated by a door, she could hear the sounds outside more clearly.

"Son, be quieter. Don't wake up that girl! If she finds out, it'll be all over!"
