Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 846 Extreme Apocalypse 10

Some people even formed gangs, gathered a large group of people, occupied other people's houses, and caused numerous fights and murders.

Some people couldn't bear the pressure, had no food or shelter, and were being bullied, so they jumped into the water and committed suicide.

During this period, the 30th floor also encountered many people who came to cause trouble, attempting to break down the iron gate and rob them.

However, they always managed to drive them away because they were ruthless when they killed people, showing a desperate attitude.

However, this can only deter others from approaching for a short period of time.

"If the rain continues, the water will eventually rise to the 30th floor, and so many people down there will definitely not give up and come back up."

Looking out the window, the city that was once bustling with traffic is now a vast ocean.

Li Dayuan hasn't been sleeping well lately, worrying about the future of both families.

Li Xinyan held a cup of hot water and drank it: "Fortunately, we stockpiled a lot of supplies beforehand, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to stay here for long even if we were trapped to death."

They never slacked off; they went out to find supplies every day.

But every time they went upstairs, the people living in the stairwells looked at them with increasingly menacing eyes.

Fortunately, they had space to cover themselves, so they didn't bring back much material openly each time.

However, there were also several instances where people tried to take advantage of the situation.

Gao Mingcheng squatted in a horse stance and said, "The people in the building must know that we have supplies and that we occupy the top floor. Those two groups will definitely not give up on their plans to take us."

The building is now divided into three factions. One group consists entirely of middle-aged men who killed the old people and kept the women for their own pleasure.

This group of people are typical scoundrels; the lack of order actually excites them.

There was another group, including the elderly, young people, children, and women. They were the ones who stood up against that group.

Because they are the most numerous, they are able to temporarily balance the current situation.

Finally, there were the two families on the 30th floor, because there was an iron gate blocking the way in the stairwell.

They have weapons and skills, so they haven't been taken advantage of yet.

However, this is not a long-term solution.

Ruan Chutong even sensed a faint chill in the air outside, guessing that extremely cold weather might be approaching.

Thinking this way, she blurted out, "Don't you feel it getting colder outside?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yanjing, who was wiping a knife, stopped what he was doing: "You mean the world is about to change?"

Everyone tensed up instantly, even Xu Zhenzhu and Li Dayuan, who were cooking in the kitchen, looked over.

It's basically like the end of the world now. This temperature drop is definitely not a normal temperature drop, but a hellish temperature drop.

Ruan Chutong nodded: "I feel like it's getting a bit colder. We collected a lot of thick clothes and insulation materials when we were collecting supplies. Let's add some insulation to the house."

"So, is it possible that the temperature could drop to tens of degrees below zero? Is an extreme cold snap coming?"

Gao Mingcheng stood up and opened the window, and immediately felt a gust of cold wind blowing in.

"Sister Tong, shall we start now?"

Li Xinyan didn't disbelieve it, but she couldn't believe how she could survive in such cold weather.

"Yes, it will be too late if it suddenly gets cold."

Her hunch was right; it had only been a short while she was talking to everyone.

Everyone felt the chill in the air getting heavier and heavier; extreme cold was sure to arrive soon.

Moreover, the temperature could drop very low overnight, and many people would freeze to death without even realizing it.

She simply put the items out, and seeing this, everyone quickly prepared to take action.

Apart from the food which was shared between the two families, everything else collected during this period is still stored in her space.

Xu Zhenzhu stayed behind to cook, and the Gao family also came to help. They would renovate the Li family's house first, and then work on the Gao family's house.

Because the house is too big, there isn't enough material.

After discussion, everyone decided to prioritize the rooms, as the living room was too big and they would have to make do for now.

First, wrap the walls and ceiling of the room with glass wool to reduce heat loss.

Insulation film was applied to doors and windows, and then sealing strips and tape were used to fill the gaps to prevent cold air from seeping in.

Each person's room was equipped with two of the thickest quilts, a fleece blanket, a down jacket, and thick clothes for backup.

If the temperature suddenly drops, you can put it on immediately to prevent hypothermia.

Ruan Chutong's feeling was correct. That night, in the middle of the night, she felt her whole body was frozen cold.

Realizing that extreme cold was approaching, she quickly used her spiritual power to insulate herself from the cold air.

Sit up quickly, put on thick clothes and pants, and then put on a down jacket.

She opened the door and went out, only to see Li Yanjing also coming out of the room.

The two exchanged a glance, and Li Yanjing quickly said, "Go and call Xinyan, and Dad and Aunt Xu to get dressed. I'm going to the Gao family next door."

In the current situation, if someone falls into a deep sleep, they could easily freeze to death and never wake up again.

Therefore, we need to notify everyone to get up and put on their clothes as soon as possible.

Ruan Chutong nodded and watched him walk towards the living room. She quickly knocked on the door and called Li Xinyan and the other two.

When Li Xinyan was woken up, she felt her whole body was a little stiff.

She grimaced as she put on her clothes: "Hiss~ I'm freezing, I feel like my blood has frozen."

"Hurry up and get dressed, I'll go call Mom and Uncle Li."

Xu Zhenzhu was woken up. Her whole body was stinging from the cold, and sitting at home felt like being outside.

"How can it be so cold? We made preparations. If we hadn't, we don't know if we could have made it through tonight. Many people might die after tonight."

Li Dayuan was somewhat relieved: "Yes, it's fortunate that Tongtong reminded us to prepare. I doubt any of the people in the hallway would have made it."

"I'll go boil some water, you guys get dressed first."

Ruan Chutong walked into the kitchen in the dark to boil water. She had good eyesight and even saw Li Yanjing coming back from outside.

His face was tense, and he looked like he had caught a chill from going out.

"What are you doing?"

As he spoke, he lit a candle, took it, and walked into the kitchen.

"I'll boil some water, you can have something warm to drink later. Are the Gao family members alright?"

Li Yanjing put the candles down and went to help her: "It's okay, but all the water downstairs is frozen, so we can't find any supplies for the time being."

"The stuff we've stockpiled should last us for a few months. Let's just get through this extreme cold."

Ruan Chutong boiled a pot of water, poured out a cup, and handed it to Li Yanjing.

When he took the cup, their hands accidentally touched, and it was quite obvious that one was cold and the other was hot.

Her hands were warm. Li Yanjing was stunned when she touched them, then moved her hands away and down.

Then came the unexpected turn of events; people guessed that she was wearing many layers to keep her hands warm.

After filling everyone's thermos with water, Ruan Chutong planned to boil another kettle to fill several hot water bottles.

"You go into the room first, I'll boil this pot of water."

The living room was much colder than the bedroom, so Li Yanjing told Ruan Chutong to leave.

"It's okay, I can handle it." She wasn't cold at all; he looked colder than she was.
