Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies

Chapter 146: Sudden Drop In Temperature (2)



Early the next morning, the temperature dropped sharply to minus 40 degrees Celsius

overnight. Before the survivors could adapt to the sudden drop in temperature, it fell again to minus 45 degrees Celsius the next day.

On the third day of the sudden temperature drop, the temperature dropped to minus 60 degrees Celsius, breaking the record for the coldest winter in the country's history.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The death toll in the Ling Yuan apartment complex was so high that only thirty percent of residents survived the sudden drop in temperatures, and the aura of death shrouded the community.

When Yao Ran woke up this morning, her whole body was shivering from the cold.

She quickly took out two more electric heaters from the space and turned them on. With four electric heaters working at the same time, the temperature in her bedroom could only reach minus 32 degrees Celsius.

From the first day, when the temperature dropped sharply, Yao Ran ate inside her space. However, she knew she couldn't hide forever in the space and needed to adapt to the extreme weather. Therefore, every time she entered her space, she only stayed for a while to take a bath and eat.

After leaving the space, Yao Ran opened the curtains and found that the heavy snow had turned into moderate snow.

Everything is covered with snow as far as the eye can see.

It snowed heavily starting on the second day of the extreme cold. On the ninth day, the snow outside reached the height of the ceiling on the 17th floor, but the people living on the 17th floor did not move up.

To keep warm, they burned firewood and coal in one of the apartments, hugged each other for warmth, and ate every two days to save food.

Yao Ran closed the curtains and took out six sets of Arctic cold-proof clothes and equipment from her space. Without such protective clothing, a human body would freeze and have frostbite within minutes if exposed to cold air.

She carried a large plastic bag filled with clothes and equipment, covered herself from head to toe, and then went to find Long Yu and the others.

As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, Yao Ran quickly pulled up the cold-proof mask she made with a thermostatic cloth obtained from the wealthy CEO's secret room and covered her nose and mouth.

She took a few slow breaths to adjust to the cold air before leaving the apartment. As soon as she walked out of the door, Yao Ran saw Long Yu and Huang Qian breaking the ice in the corridor and stairs.

When Long Yu saw her coming out, he quickly approached her and asked, "Why did you come out?"

Yao Ran dragged the big plastic bag and said, "Last night, the temperature dropped again to minus 60 degrees Celsius. I still have a few sets of warm and cold-proof clothing specialized for Arctic expeditions. I bought them before for a trip to the Arctic, but now they've become useful."

Although the mask blocked her voice, Huang Qian could still clearly hear her muffled voice. He walked quickly to Yao Ran, tremblingly took the big plastic bag from her hand, and said, "Thank you, Yao Ran."

Without waiting for Long Yu, he quickly walked to unit 2001 with the big plastic bag and divided the clothes and equipment with the others.

Yao Ran gave them not only clothes but also snow boots, gloves, hats, goggles, masks, and scarves. As long as their skin is not exposed to cold air, they can walk outside for hours with this equipment.

After Huang Qian changed his clothes, he came out and said to Long Yu, "Captain, please put on these clothes quickly. It's really warm."

Yao Ran looked at Long Yu and gently pushed him, "Go and put on your clothes. I'm going to send some clothes to the Quan family and the Sima family."

Long Yu felt cold, and he didn't hesitate any longer. Before leaving, he said, "Wait for me. I will get dressed and go with you."

Yao Ran nodded and returned to her apartment. She closed the door and quickly took out clothes and equipment for the Quan and Sima Families.

After packing the clothes and equipment into two large plastic bags, Yao Ran left her apartment dragging the bags. She only waited for two minutes before Long Yu came out of unit 2001.

Long Yu took the two heavy plastic bags from her hands and said, "The ground was covered by frost and very slippery. Be careful when you walk."

Yao Ran nodded, and the two slowly went down the stairs. She held on to the frost on the railing and walked down step by step.

The initially wide staircase, which could accommodate four people, is now covered in frost and can only accommodate two people walking side by side.

Seeing her struggle, Long Yu turned around and said, "Hold onto me."

Yao Ran grabbed the railing, but it was useless because the frost made her glove stuck to it and froze her hands. After thinking about it, she approached Long Yu, grabbed his arm, and held it tightly.

Long Yu waited until her body stabilized before slowly walking down while keeping his eyes

on Yao Ran.

While leading the way, Long Yu kept his attention on Yao Ran to ensure that she would not fall. It would be dangerous if she slipped and fell down the stairs.

After arriving at the 19th floor, the two of them made their way to unit 1902. After the family living in unit 1903 passed away, only the Quan family and the Sima family were living on the

19th floor.

They waited for a while before Quan Yuanwei opened the door. He was a little surprised to see the two of them there and said, "Come in quickly. It's so cold outside."

Long Yu handed him the smaller plastic bag and said, "No need. We are just here to deliver some winter clothes."
