Chapter 556: Chapter 422: Hoarding Thousands upon Thousands for Natural Disasters, Raising a Child, I Let It Go 10_3
Now, netizens online all believed the previous claims about the apocalypse, many expressing regret on the internet, wondering why they hadn’t stockpiled goods earlier and why they had mocked others.
The internet was abuzz, and official statents urged everyone to stay at ho and not wander around.
But by now, it was already too late for regrets.
After playing with her phone for a while, Su Zhiruan felt her eyelids grow heavy, so she put down her phone, charged it, turned off the light, and had a wonderful sleep.
Since there was no work and no worries about tasks or anything else, Su Zhiruan slept soundly.
By 6 p.m., Su Zhiruan slowly woke up.
After she got up, she saw Wen Qingyu had already prepared the al in the kitchen.
“Co eat.” Wen Qingyu saw her and brought the food over.
The dinner was rather light, consisting of sautéed shrimp and ho-style tofu, with two bowls of rice.
“How can you guess the ti I wake up?” Su Zhiruan, looking at the scene which was similar to the morning, was sowhat surprised.
Wen Qingyu set the chopsticks down, smiled, and said, “It’s just perfect timing that you woke up. If you hadn’t, I was planning to wake you.”
Su Zhiruan nodded, walked over, and casually pressed down a tuft of hair on her head.
The two sat together again and began to eat.
As usual, she took out her phone before eating and snapped a photo of the al.
Then she posted this photo in the Su Family’s family group chat.
Soon after she uploaded the photo, she received a barrage of insults from Su father, Su mother, and Su Yaozu.
But she didn’t reply at all.
She let them stew in their own frustration.
As for Su Mingzhu, her phone was destroyed by Su father, and now she couldn’t chat or see ssages.
Su Zhiruan watched their hysterical screaming on the surveillance, and when the cara switched to Su Mingzhu’s room, she saw her crouched on the ground, madly gnawing at a succulent she kept by her bed.
Next to her was a pot of devils ivy, the two plants clearly hadn’t escaped her hands.
Su father and Su Yaozu, always having larger appetites, had originally thought they could wait until rescue arrived, but who could have expected that no rescue ca and instead the food at ho ran out first.
Su mother, who got very little food, was extrely hungry. She could only stick her head under the faucet and gulp water, not caring about anything else.
anwhile, Su father and Su Yaozu were still searching the house for any edible food, jubilantly eating it when they discovered a plate of nuts under the coffee table.
Clearly, their relationship had beco far less close than before.
Even the closest bonds can reveal one’s selfishness when disaster strikes.
After watching this, Su Zhiruan casually turned off the surveillance, and after finishing her al, she vigorously cleaned up the tableware.
Seeing her insistence, Wen Qingyu did not sit idle either, helping her out and also tidying up the dining table and balcony.
After washing the dishes, Su Zhiruan washed her hands and ca out to lie on the sofa.
Looking at the thick snow outside the door, a thought suddenly struck her, “Wen Qingyu, why don’t we dig out the snow?”
The snow Su Zhiruan ntioned was the thick accumulation outside; just the previous day, they had only dug out a small space to place frozen pears.
“I’m all ears,” Wen Qingyu said, sitting beside her, following her gaze out the window.
“Dig a little every day.” Su Zhiruan stood at the doorway, pondering, and frowned, “We should clear it out now. If it snows more later on, or if it shifts from extre low to extre high temperatures, the snow on the mountains might cause avalanches or flooding. Let’s clear the snow at the entrance first.”
According to the original plot, this kind of extre low temperature weather, like a blizzard, was supposed to last a year.
There would also be a few days of sudden warmth in the middle.
Then it would shift to extre high temperatures.
After the high temperature, it would return to extre cold weather.
Such repeated fluctuations caused many deaths due to the large gaps in temperatures.
If they could break through so of the snow at the entrance, even if it lts and then freezes again, they would still have so space to walk through.
They decided to act imdiately.
Ard with bright flashlights, they set out together, breaking the ice from two different angles.
The snow was too thick, so there was no concern about it collapsing.
After continuously working for two hours, it was 8:30 p.m.
“Okay, that’s enough for today,” Su Zhiruan, wiping her sweat, said, “We still have plenty of ti.”
“Let’s head back,” Wen Qingyu took the tool from her hand, “We’ll co back tomorrow.”
