Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 67 - Weather Warms Up

Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Weather Warms Up

Chapter 67 -67 Weather Warms Up

Feng Zhekai suddenly woke up as well, standing up and saying, “After the bodies and trash melt, what will surely follow is an epidemic.”

Chen Shaonan also became tense, “Right, I hadn’t even thought about that. With so many dead, if the weather warms up quickly, it’s not just an epidemic we’ll be facing—snakes, bugs, rats, and ants will all come out. We might face an even worse situation than now.”

At that, everyone’s previously joyful expressions instantly cooled, all turning to look at Gu Pan because they all knew that she was the most prescient and farsighted person.

Gu Pan said, “Ruisheng and I have discussed it. It’s still best for us to live in this building. After all, everyone feels safer in their own homes. So, we’ll use the supplies to exchange for the apartments of the two survivor families upstairs. Then, we’ll block all the pipes. Now that the fifth floor is empty, we’ll install an iron gate at the stairwell, and place rat poison on both the inside and outside. That way, we create an extra barrier in the middle, another buffer. We also need to bring back all the non-perishable food as soon as possible, and try to go out as little as we can.”

Lu Ruisheng added, “For the short term, unless it’s truly necessary, we shouldn’t go out. Even if we must, we need to be properly protected. We need to quickly transfer the supplies from the sales office here, and we’ll discard any frozen goods to avoid bacterial growth and worms once it gets warm.”

Feng Zhekai said, “When I was scavenging for supplies earlier, I got quite a bit of alcohol and disinfectant. We’ll need to disinfect ourselves when we go in and out.”

Chen Shaonan said, “I can set up some electrical grids in the corridors as a second line of defense, against both people and the vermin that might emerge with the warmer weather.”

Cheng Yang looked at everyone with admiration, “So glad I’m with you guys. Otherwise, I really would have thought the warm weather was a good thing. How could I have thought of any of this?”

Gu Pan smiled and said, “Let’s get moving then. Cheng Yang and Chen Lang, take the supplies and exchange them for the survivor families’ apartments upstairs, getting them to leave this building. We’ll move the supplies from the sales office.”

With tasks clearly allocated, everyone got busy.

The sales office had a substantial amount of goods, including some frozen items like dumplings. They decided to leave these here for now—if it doesn’t get warm, they won’t go to waste.

Although Gu Pan was certain it would get warm, she couldn’t say that outright; she could only suggest that being prepared in every way felt safer.

Later, they made another trip to the storage point at the morgue. This place had even more frozen food, but now they had to make choices. They sorted all the non-perishable food to be picked up later that night. It was too conspicuous during the day.

After everything was arranged, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng rode a snowmobile to Guo Gang’s house to warn them, advising them on early preparations for what might come.

They only found out upon arrival that the elderly lady had passed away two days earlier. Now wasn’t the time for sorrow; instead, they discussed the critical issue, telling them how to protect themselves better.

Hearing from Guo Gang that the top floor and the one below were both unoccupied, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng simply suggested they move upstairs for better protection.

Guo Gang thought their advice made sense. Being on the top floor, cracking open a window for some fresh air occasionally would at least be safer than staying below. They decided to move up that very afternoon.

Before leaving, Gu Pan left them a lot of rat poison, masks, and gas masks, as well as non-perishable food, freeze-dried vegetables, and blowtorches. If there were too many rats in the corridor and they had to go downstairs, they’d have to use such physical harm methods to clear a path through the rodents.

She also cautioned them to take advantage of the clean snow now to boil more water. Once the snow completely melted, the water would become polluted and undrinkable.

After sending Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng off, Guo Gang and his wife got busy with their children preparing.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng then went to Dong Mingyue’s place. This time they didn’t leave supplies, as she was not in need, but they gave her fifty bullets, some rat poison, and two blowtorches, reminding her about storing water.

They also checked on Tian Zhenzhen’s family, giving the same instructions. She couldn’t be sure if they would make it to the end, but she had to do what needed to be done anyway.

Finally, he visited Shi Liang’s place, imparting the same instructions and providing supplies. It wasn’t until the afternoon that he returned home.

In the evening, when he got home, he distinctly felt that the weather had become much warmer.

Upon arriving home, many people in the community were out chatting, all looking forward to the warm weather and hoping for everything to return to how it was before the apocalypse.

They didn’t know that this illusion wouldn’t last long and that they would soon face an even more terrible disaster. But there was no way to tell them — could he explain it to each person individually? Who would believe him? Besides, in the apocalypse, it was already good enough to take care of oneself and those one cared about.

Fortunately, their team’s social connections were relatively simple. Chen Shaonan’s family had basically no relatives here, Cheng Yang was young and his social circle seemed to have vanished at this time, and Feng Zhekai had two nice colleagues, but they were no longer around. Zhekai had looked for them before, but they had disappeared.

It was quite normal for doctors to disappear at this time; those forming teams all needed doctors, so it was common for doctors to be taken away.

So for them, apart from friends like Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, there were basically no others they needed to notify.

After nightfall, they went out and brought back the supplies, choosing what was necessary.

Now, from the sixth floor to the eleventh floor was all theirs, which made storing supplies more convenient. Of course, keeping everything together was risky, but they had no other choice at the moment. If the epidemic occurred, food left outside would be wasted anyway.

But Gu Pan, who knew about these things earlier, couldn’t explain them, since there was no reasonable explanation. However, she always said that frozen food shouldn’t be stored too long to prevent spoilage, so they ate quite a bit to reduce waste.

The next morning, the indoor temperature had clearly risen yet again. Gu Pan hurried to check the thermometer, which read minus thirty degrees — a typical temperature for a northern winter.

At this time, some people thought the apocalypse was passing, but of course, others felt something was off and quietly began to prepare.

Indeed, those who could survive in the apocalypse had to be far-sighted and shrewd; otherwise, how could they survive in such a situation with brute strength alone? How far that foresight reached and how long they could live depended on one’s abilities.

Gu Pan knew that during the time of the epidemic, the temperature had consistently been in the twenties because this temperature was most favorable for the virus to thrive, which is why the epidemic came so quickly.

Therefore, they planned to plant more vegetables during this period, then dry them, so that when the extremely hot weather arrived, they wouldn’t lack vitamins. Although her Space had everything, she couldn’t openly take things out; hence, in front of others, it was natural to show preparation for each disaster, making all their actions seem reasonable.

So these two days, they searched many empty houses and brought back the soil from the flowerpots. Lu Ruisheng led the men to build a vegetable garden on the rooftop.

Later, they prepared many containers to melt snow into water, filtering and storing it for future use.

When they took over Li Dong’s building, they also obtained over ten barrels of mineral water. Saving a bit here and there, this water could come in handy if the outside water became unusable.

Water was vital — without clean water, one could only wait to be infected by the epidemic.

When they went out today, they also noticed that many people had already started silently storing water. It seemed that there were many wise individuals, all with life experience.

During this time, Gu Pan collected a lot of snow and ice in her Space, to be used when the extreme heat arrived.

Three days later, the temperature rose above zero.
