Finally, in the heavy snow, Lu Ang and the inexplicable Fu Pingbo came to this city.
Oh, the snow is really heavy here!
Looking at the thickness of the snow underfoot, it is almost as high as two or three stories. It has covered the first and second floors of most buildings. Standing on top of the snow, you can only see one window after another. You cannot see at all. to the road.
In this situation, coupled with the extreme cold outside, ordinary people cannot go out at all!
In the zombie apocalypse, you can still find ways to avoid the zombies and go out to find food. In this situation, there is not enough food and heating facilities at home. How can people survive?
Lu Ang mobilized his spiritual power to his eyes and ears, carefully searching for traces of human activities and the sounds made during actions...
No, no, not even in this residential building... I smashed open the window of another building and looked in. There was indeed no living person, only some corpses who had died of starvation or freezing...
Hey, is this the end of the world? This is too tragic!
Fu Pingbo next to him just watched Lu Ang looking for someone. He just looked around at the surrounding buildings and touched the furniture and appliances in the building from time to time. He looked a little curious but said nothing.
After searching around again, Lu Ang finally found traces of a living person in a place that looked like a large shopping mall.
Breaking the window and entering the mall, he faintly heard the sound of people talking. He followed along and found a group of unkempt people on the second floor of the mall, wearing thick ball-like clothes and looking confused and numb.
There is a large supermarket on the first floor below the mall. Most of the second floor below is a parking lot, and the other half is divided. The supermarket's storage warehouse is isolated by walls on all sides and has direct access to the supermarket.
Several of these survivors were piled together, wrapped in quilts, with various food and water packages next to them.
It seems that they should be customers who originally shopped in supermarkets or shopping malls. They were still in the shopping malls when the apocalypse occurred, and then survived until now relying on supplies from the supermarkets.
However, the number of people here was much smaller than Lu Ang imagined. There were only about fifty people in the entire warehouse.
Could it be that this business district is not very popular, it is a working day, or everyone else has rushed home immediately?
The arrival of Lu Ang undoubtedly attracted their attention.
This is something that is impossible to avoid. Although Lu Ang is wearing a thick down jacket, it is only one piece. Unlike these survivors, who doesn't have seven or eight thick clothes?
Not to mention Fu Pingbo next to him, wearing a dark blue robe and long flowing hair, as if he was in early autumn, not caring about the severe cold of 70 to 80 degrees below zero.
"Who among you is in charge?" Lu Ang asked directly without giving them any time to be curious.
There is no way. If you want to save the world, you still need to collect intelligence first.
Those survivors looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, one of them, who looked taller and stronger, lifted the quilt and stood out from a corner.
"I am the original security captain of Wanda Mall. I am now in charge here." His eyes were filled with curiosity: "What's going on with you guys? Aren't you afraid of the cold?"
Lu Ang glanced at the corner, and it was obvious that he could see several women wrapped in those quilts, looking curiously.
To do something like this on such a cold day, this security captain is really full of firepower.
After sighing with emotion, Lu Ang asked directly: "Well... we are here to investigate the cause of this disaster. When did it get cold here? Did you find anything wrong at that time?"
"Investigation?" The security captain's eyes were wary, but he still replied: "That was more than three months ago. At five or six o'clock that afternoon, just before lunch, hailstones the size of a human head suddenly fell from the sky. It was smashed down, killing many people outside, and the same was true for the car, with its roof flattened."
"In this case, everyone could only hide in the mall. Fortunately, the top of the mall was strong enough and was not penetrated... The hail rain continued like this for three days, and then it snowed, and the weather became increasingly colder. , and soon the power in the mall was cut off and the water pipes were frozen..."
"This shopping mall looks big, but in fact the food is only in the supermarket. At first, someone organized and managed it, and distributed it every day. Later, the food and water distributed became less and less, and a riot broke out. A group of idiots rushed in directly. The warehouse started to be robbed, what’s the point? There is no other way, I can only..."
"No!" Lu Ang interrupted him immediately: "In other words, you don't know the cause of the hail? Don't you know why the weather gets colder? Didn't your officials send you any notice?"
The security captain sighed: "When there was power at the beginning, there was official news, saying that there was a cold wave that only happens once in a thousand years, and everyone was told to find a safe place, stock up on food and fuel, and wait for rescue. But then it disappeared and the network was not working. "Only some text messages were sent, which were all useless official words, about working together to overcome the difficulties, etc., but there was no actual help at all."
"That's all? Then you still don't know anything!" Lu Ang was a little disappointed.
"I know!" A young man poked his head out from the pile of quilts next to him: "When it was hailing, my girlfriend and I had just watched a movie on the top floor, and saw an aurora in the sky outside the window. I even took photos of the colorful auroras at that time, but unfortunately my phone is out of battery now."
"Aurora?" Lu Ang nodded, took out two portions of pig's trotter rice from the storage bag, and handed them to the security captain and the young man using the magic of object control: "Does anyone else know anything?"
The storage bag was not as good as the Sumeru Buddha Ring and did not keep heat, but the two of them started directly, opened the lid and stuffed it with food.
Seeing the reward and seeing Lu Ang's ability to transform objects out of thin air, other people in the warehouse immediately became interested and began to report:
"When I went up to collect supplies, I saw a very tall, snowman-like monster in the snow from a distance! It was covered in white hair, like a gorilla."
"When the hailstorm just ended, I saw an official plane dropping supplies in the west. Then for some reason, the plane fell down and hit a building."
"I have a friend in Qiongzhou. He said that they also had hail and snow there, but the temperature was warmer than here."
"Before, when the Internet was still disconnected, I saw someone in the micro group saying that he had awakened superpowers and could control flames, but I don't know if it was true or not. Are you also awakened?"
"There are not many supplies in the supermarket anymore. The official said before that there was a strategic material warehouse in the east outside the city and called on everyone to go there, but we didn't listen at the time. Now we can't even go there even if we want to."
