Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

Chapter 218: Natural Disasters Away from the Scumbag Enemy 14

Xu Ying understood what her sister was saying. In her previous life, the temperature didn't drop so quickly. It was only at midnight the next day that the temperature reached its current level.

After discussing for a long time, they made a preliminary plan. Seeing that it was already four o'clock in the morning, they simply sat around the stove and closed their eyes to rest.

The blinding sunlight streamed into the room. Seeing the sun again after a month, everyone cheered. When they opened the window, a strong gust of wind blew out, and everyone shivered so much they didn't even have the strength to close it. It took several people working together to close it.

"You're kidding! I thought the sun would be so strong and warm, but I ended up freezing to death."

"Yes, the coldest weather here in previous years was not as cold as it is now."

Xu Tao just noticed that the ice layer didn't seem to be on the eighth floor. It seemed to have dropped a lot, probably to the fourth or fifth floor. She didn't understand why it retreated so much overnight.

Even with the arrival of extreme cold, everyone's training did not stop. Several stoves were lit in the Ming family's living room, and the temperature could be maintained at around five degrees.

The Xu family brought out a lot of warming equipment, and the Ming family tactfully didn't ask any questions.

"Everyone, listen up, everyone, we have something to announce. Food is in short supply right now. Families in need can send people to follow us... Please bring your ID when you sign up."

Basically, each family contributes some strong labor to break the ice, and if they break out the food underneath, they can take away one-third of it. The staff will break up the solid ice in advance, and there are also soldiers to ensure everyone's safety.

"That's great, Lao Xu, do you want to go?"

Ming's father was eager to try. Although there was still some food stored at home, according to the current development trend, no one knew what would happen in the future. It was always a good idea to prepare more food.

Father Xu also planned to go with them. Although they had no shortage of food, they had to do it secretly so that no one could find out. They could eat and become fat without going out. Everyone was not a fool and could easily detect that there was something fishy.

"Dad, you don't have to go, I can go." Mu Jian also thought of this and stepped forward. He could protect himself in case the space collapsed. If he really couldn't get out, he could leave a note in the space and wait for Yingbao to come and save him.

"Me, me, me, I want to go too. I've been stuck at home for so long, it would be nice to go out and see the world."

Xu Shu jumped up and down with his hands raised. He liked to travel everywhere. In previous winter and summer vacations, he would choose a city to visit. He had never been stuck at home for a month and he felt like he was getting moldy.

Ming Yang stepped forward and said, "First, Brother Jian, Ah Shu and I will go out and scout out the situation."

No one had any objection. After Xu Tao and the others set off, they quietly put on their equipment and slipped out behind them.

Xu Ying saw her sister and saw her making a hush gesture and shaking her head. She wanted to go out too, but she still had to look after Qiu Bao. She didn't know if it was because of the low temperature or something else, but Qiu Bao felt particularly insecure these days and had to stay in her mother's arms every day.

When Ming Yang and the others found out, people had already registered, so they could only point at the little girl in annoyance.

Xu Tao blinked her large eyes and surveyed the surroundings. Most of the people looked listless, their faces pale. Whether they had lost weight or not was hard to tell; they were all wrapped up tightly.

When they had gathered fifty people, the leader blew a whistle and the team slowly moved forward, their goal being the office building two kilometers away. Many people slipped and fell during the process; the ice was too slippery, but thankfully everyone was well-dressed, so there were no major accidents.

Xu Tao always felt that there was a sinister gaze behind her, but when she turned around, she saw nothing. She almost fell because she was distracted, but fortunately Ming Yang was quick to catch her.

"Brother Yang, please let me go. I will definitely not fall."

Mingyang turned a deaf ear and held the little girl's clothes by the back as if she were a chick.

Xu Tao stopped struggling and resigned herself to being carried. Although this was unsightly, it was quite comfortable. She didn't know what the soles of men's shoes were made of, but they were not slippery at all.

It took nearly an hour to reach the destination, which was a pretty good pace. If there weren't other people around, Xu Tao would have wanted to take out her skis and ski over in a flash.

In order to avoid trouble, everyone went forward to draw lots, and whatever floor you drew was the floor you would live on.

There are twenty-first floors in the office building. Xu Tao was neither lucky nor unlucky as she drew the seventeenth floor.

Those who were drawn under the ice or above the 18th floor sighed. Now there was a power outage, no elevator, and little food to eat, so climbing so high was very tiring.

Ming Yang drew the fifth layer, just below the ice. Xu Shu and Mu Jian were luckier, drawing the eighth layer.

"A Tao, I want to switch with you."

"No need, brother-in-law, I want to go up and take a look."

Mu Jian gave up after hearing this and tried to exchange with Ming Yang, but was also rejected. No one was assigned to the third layer below the ice, fearing that lack of oxygen would cause fainting.

"Okay, everyone, go ahead. Be careful not to smash, loot, or you will not be hired if you're caught."

Xu Tao waved goodbye and slowly climbed the stairs with everyone else. There was no point in being anxious, and she didn't want to be too different. Fortunately, they all wore masks when going out today.

After climbing to the 16th floor, he felt a pair of hands on his back and turned to avoid them. However, the person used too much force and failed to brake in time, causing him to hit the stairs directly with a loud bang. Without any protection on his forehead, he fainted.

The person going upstairs did not stop at all and continued to climb his own way. Xu Tao took a long time to recognize that this was the woman who knocked on the door that day.

The woman wanted to harm her, and Xu Tao couldn't be so magnanimous as to save her, so she continued to climb one more floor to reach her destination.

The seventeenth floor was occupied by software companies. Xu Tao picked one and went in, searching each one. It was mostly computer keyboards, with very few snacks. It was obvious that there were more men than women.

I walked into the tea room, which was filled with snacks. I took out the bags that were distributed and put them all in. I also moved the unopened bottles of mineral water on the floor to the door. After a while, I went to the middle of the room. A staff member was responsible for registering and storing the supplies. After registering, two-thirds of the money was deducted. They only had to take their own things down.

When they walked into the warehouse, there were quite a few idle computers inside. Xu Tao took a few away. After searching all the computers in the house, she only managed to find half a bag of food.

I went to the company next door and saw a girl flipping through the keyboards, so I switched to another one. This company probably has more girls, and the keyboards are all different, which is very cute.

Xu Tao collected a few handfuls and rummaged through the drawers, finding everything from chocolate chips to sunflower seeds. She went to the back and filled a bag. There was still one row left to search when the girl next door came in. Perhaps because she had collected so much, she headed straight for the last row.

Xu Tao was too lazy to argue with her. She dragged the bag to the staff to keep it, took a new bag and went to another store. This time she learned her lesson and locked the door from the inside as soon as she entered.
