Not long after, Liu Mo saw someone wearing down jackets digging the road at the window.

Although the snow is very thick, it is mostly loose now and has not been completely compacted.

People in the community don’t have any professional tools, so most of them scoop out the snow with containers like washbasins.

The snow has been falling non-stop, and as soon as a basin was scooped out, the snowflakes falling from the sky soon filled up the gap, making it extremely difficult to move forward.

Fortunately, the distance between several buildings was not too far. After a lot of effort, dozens of people finally managed to gather under the community.

In middle age, Zhang Beiqiang's body has begun to gain weight.

Wearing an oversized down jacket, he was shaking off the snowflakes that had fallen on his body while directing dozens of people to clear the way. From time to time, he would also joke with Wang Rong, who was still charming next to him, and he was very high-spirited.

The more people there are, the faster the cleaning process will be.

It's just that the temperature has dropped to more than 20 degrees below zero. Even with a down jacket, it is difficult to stay in such an environment for too long.

The freezing temperature of the refrigerator is only minus fifteen degrees!

In my previous life, the coldest temperatures in some places in the Northeast were over minus 70 degrees Celsius. The reason why people could endure this was simply because they stayed in a warm home.

So let alone 20 degrees below zero, even if it is 10 degrees below zero, people can't bear it outdoors for long.

"It's eleven o'clock."

Liu Mo moved the sofa to the balcony, drinking hot water and looking out the window comfortably.

The dark clouds are slowly deepening, and a more violent snowstorm is coming.

This time the blizzard will continue until the early morning of the next day, and the thickness of the heavy snow will officially reach ten meters. All the layers below the third floor will be submerged, and the temperature will plummet again.

After this, the heating that everyone depends on for survival will slowly be cut off, and the temperature of the building will gradually become the same as that of the outdoors.

At half past eleven, Zhang Beiqiang and Zheng Hao were already happily heading back carrying supplies.

Zhang Beiqiang lived in Building 3 on the side of Liu Mo. Zheng Hao and several young people were in the same building as Liu Mo. The distance was not too far. He gave Zheng Hao and several young people a lot of money to help carry supplies.

Wang Rong was very envious when she saw this scene, but unfortunately she couldn't afford to hire anyone, and she felt that the weight would make a beauty like herself look embarrassed, so she just carried a small bag of five kilograms of rice, which she carried very elegantly in one hand.

Liu Mo watched for more than ten minutes, and Zheng Hao and the others moved to the elevator three times before it was over.

Looking at the other people, they are basically carrying a small bag of rice on one shoulder, which is only a few dozen kilograms more. Some people are even carrying a lot of snacks and instant noodles, and the other hand is empty.

Only Zhang Beiqiang did the most.

"No wonder this guy lived so long in his last life. He was indeed prescient."

Liu Mo shook his head. What he was thinking about now was what he should have for lunch.

These people had just crawled back into the building from the snow. The next moment, a few bolts of lightning penetrated the dark clouds first, and then a roar echoed through the sky.

A new round of cold snap has arrived, with fierce hurricanes carrying snowflakes, rain and hail falling from the sky, and the snow suddenly doubled in strength.

With a "bang", lightning struck the largest sycamore tree downstairs, emitting a dazzling white light, followed by thick black smoke.

For a moment, everyone was confused.

Zheng Hao and others who had just entered the corridor shivered involuntarily, and their legs were weak from fear.

If I had come in a few minutes later...

The owner group is even more lively:

"I thought the snow would stop soon, but it turned out to be even bigger and there was hail! We can't even think about going out for a week!"

"It's over, it's over. I was supposed to go out with Mr. Zhang to get supplies just now. I'm afraid the dead people downstairs won't dare to go out. There's not enough food at home!"

Zheng Hao thought that he was already familiar with Zhang Beiqiang. As soon as he got home, he immediately sent a message in the group:

"Thank you, Brother Qiang! If it weren't for Brother Qiang's foresight, those of us who don't have food in our homes would have starved to death!"

Although I was almost killed by hail, I finally came back carrying two bags of rice. This will be my lifeblood for the next period of time!

"Yes, yes, Brother Qiang is still decisive. Now that the weather has deteriorated like this, I'm afraid we really won't be able to wait for rescue."

Zhang Beiqiang, who had just moved an elevator of supplies into his home, wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead and smiled:

"There is no foresight. We are just prepared. Fortunately, we came back early and there were no problems on the way."

As soon as he got home, he immediately took out the pot and prepared to steam rice, but when he pulled the faucet, not a drop of water came out.

Zhang Beiqiang was immediately stunned.

"My water pipes seem to be frozen. Do you still have water?"

"Wait a minute, let me try. Damn it, my water pipes seem to be frozen too!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting everyone in the community on the head.

It’s not enough to have food or water!

"If you don't have water stored at home, just open the windows and get some snow back. The snow can be used as water if it melts, but it may not be very clean."

Wang Rong said something in the group.

The snow outside has turned the sky and the earth white. Just put the basin outside the window and there will be a lot of it. The only problem is that you may catch hail. This depends on your luck.

Zhang Beiqiang, on the other hand, was shaking all over.

He immediately thought of other problems.

The first step is to stop the water supply. This is really easy to solve. Just boil the snow and turn it into water.

But what if there is a power outage?

"Honey, open the windows quickly to catch the snow. Be careful of hail. The more you can catch, the better!"

Zhang Beiqiang hurriedly found two basins at home, giving one to his wife and the other to his son.

Melting a basin of snow does not require even half a basin of water, but it requires a large amount of heat. This is obviously an extremely cumbersome task.

And he opened the bags of rice that were brought back, then opened all the gas stoves and rice cookers at home, and poured them in one pound at a time.

"Is it necessary to do this? The electricity and gas haven't been cut off for years, and the tap water is just frozen."

My wife disliked Zhang Beiqiang for making a fuss and bringing so many things back, and the children had so many toys that there was almost no room for them at home.

"You know nothing!"

Zhang Beiqiang glared at his wife fiercely and continued to steam rice.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Mo saw bags of steamed rice placed next to Zhang Beiqiang's balcony window in Building 3 opposite, seemingly taking advantage of the outside temperature to freeze.

Liu Mo didn't notice this in his previous life, but now that he saw it, he paid more attention to Zhang Beiqiang.

He was the one who knew the outcome after being reborn, but Zhang Beiqiang didn't know anything.

Predicting the power and gas outage in advance, I steamed so much rice and froze it in advance. Even if it was defrosted later, it would be difficult, but at least I wouldn't have to eat uncooked rice.

With such careful thinking, the two are not in the same building yet. If he wants to take revenge, he may be too careless.

"Beautiful, I thought about what to eat for lunch!"

Liu Mo snapped his fingers and smiled:

"System, exchange for one pound of pork, one pound of beans, and ten bottles of mineral water."

[One pound of pork is 15 points, one pound of beans is 5 points, and ten bottles of mineral water is 10 points. Do you want to redeem it? 】

"exchange!"

[30 points are deducted and the material exchange is successful! 】

I redeemed some more supplies, and my points were even higher than in the morning.

Liu Mo hummed a song in a good mood and went to the kitchen to fry the pork and beans. It was just average and not delicious.

But for him, who has been struggling through the apocalypse, this is already a delicious meal.

He didn't know how to cook in the first place. After the end of the world and the shortage of supplies, he had no chance to cook.

But now, Liu Mo plans to study cooking skills, and it is best to learn to become a chef.

Other people’s apocalypse is his paradise!

"I still have 804 points. In the next few days, I can occasionally redeem them for meat and vegetables. There is basically no big expense."

While eating, Liu Mo calculated the number of points.

It's now past two o'clock in the afternoon, and I can still get 600 points before the end of the day.

The next day is 1440 points.

The most basic power is 10,000 points, which is 5,000 at half price.

If you want to redeem your powers, you will need to save for about three days, not counting today.

Ideally, you can get the ability before the end of December 5th.

The community has been relatively calm the past few days, and the laws have not been broken, so there is no need to save a few dollars on food. Eat what you need. There is no threat anyway. It is better to eat two meals a day, which means waiting half a day longer. hours.

As for redeeming top-level abilities, Liu Mo doesn't want to think about it for the time being. You have to wait ten years for this thing to be half the price!

"You're still too weak now. With your physical fitness, you can't even handle the crappiest zombies."

Liu Mo shook his head.

In his previous life, like most people, he had no supernatural talents and relied on the transformation of his body by the zombie virus.

In layman's terms, it is enhanced brute force.

While psychics can use supernatural powers to fight, they also have physical fitness that is far stronger than ordinary people, equivalent to a magician + a meat tank.

Because of this in his last life, Liu Mo suffered a lot of humiliation.

In terms of brute force, he can't fight, and in terms of ability, he is not a single enemy.

Even if you want to trick others, they will be sensed immediately. It is simply an all-round suppression without blind spots.

Of course, it is still too far away to mention people with superpowers. The zombie virus is still latent and has not yet exploded.

The zombie mutation will begin a month later, and those who cannot resist the virus will turn into zombies.

Those who can resist will gradually be strengthened by the zombie virus in their bodies, and various supermen and superpowers will appear.

Liu Mo's eyes flickered slightly, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

This is a superpower!

"Come on, come on, another Kuntian..."
