Chapter 208: Extreme Cold Doomsday: Disappearing Space
"Remember, don't run around, and call for help if you have any problems."
Along the way, Zheng Shi kept emphasizing various disciplines, which were the experiences they had summarized when they went out just now.
Some people took it to heart, while some others turned a deaf ear to it. Zheng Shi didn't bother to care. He didn't even care about his own life, so what right did he have to care?
As they walked, everyone moved their bodies.
Zhou Xuan followed Zheng Shi carefully. As no one was clearing the snow, the roads in the entire city were covered with a thick layer of snow. He just saw a man who seemed to be tripped by something and fell straight to the ground. Fortunately, there was a flat ground there and no hard objects, otherwise they would probably have lost many people if they had fallen.
He is the destined male protagonist and he must not fail at this step.
"We just went to a nearby department store. Most of the things inside were taken, but I think there will still be some left."
Before setting off, he told Zhou Xuan and others the destination of this trip, which was still the department store as he was not familiar with other places.
Zhou Xuan wrapped a woolen hat on his head and wore a mask, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
Occasionally a cold wind blew, and they all danced around like they were having epilepsy.
Walk faster, walk faster, and you won’t feel so cold when you exercise.
Zheng Shi couldn't bear to watch it any longer. This batch of students was indeed much worse in terms of physical fitness.
They walked in the snow for more than twenty minutes, their feet numb from the cold, before they reached the nearby department store.
The large poster that was originally posted on the outside of the mall was gone, leaving only a bare wall.
Many of the glass doors at the entrances were smashed, and the cold wind poured in through the broken holes. The glass shards on the ground had long been buried by the thick snow.
This time, there was no need for Zheng Shi to remind them. The few people who finally arrived at their destination quickened their pace as if they had seen the dawn of victory.
"Why is everything gone?"
They first went to the large supermarket on the underground floor.
Most of the shelves filled with various foods were emptied. Due to the cold weather, the meat that originally needed electricity and refrigeration did not spoil and was taken away by batches of people who had come before.
"Stop talking nonsense. Take whatever you have. It's good enough if you have something to eat."
Zheng Shi and his group expressed the same sentiment when they first came, but the complaints disappeared when they met another group that came looking for supplies.
No matter what food he has, just take it.
If you don’t take it, it will be gone.
Zhou Xuan pushed a small cart and put all the things he liked into it.
The same thing happened to Zheng Shi and others. They all tacitly agreed not to look for food in the same place, but to look for it separately, which gave Zhou Xuan an opportunity.
While looking for various foods, he quietly stuffed them into the space. It was empty anyway.
After collecting a lot of food, after saying hello to Zheng Shi, he continued to go upstairs, went to the home area and clothing area, and searched one floor after another.
Therefore, he was very cautious by nature. When collecting supplies, he would always check if there was anyone around. Only after confirming that it was safe would he throw things into the space.
An hour later, everyone gathered together with bags of all sizes, and even put on a few more pieces of thick clothes that were difficult to carry away, intending to take them back in this way.
"Zhou Xuan, are you planning to take these things back?"
Among the crowd, only Zhou Xuan seemed to have the least things, just a bag of food and a few thick clothes.
"That's enough." Zhou Xuan said indifferently.
This pretentious look made the other people's mouths twitch.
Zheng Shi was also giving a kind reminder, after all, it was troublesome to come out, but with Zhou Xuan in such a state, he didn't want to say anything more and could only secretly curse himself for meddling in other people's business.
"Let's go back quickly, it will be dark soon."
It is now past four in the afternoon. It is foggy outside and visibility is much lower.
The way back was much more difficult than the way here. Not to mention that each of them carried large and small bags of things, the increasingly fierce wind and snow alone was enough to make several people drink a lot of wine.
If everyone hadn't bought a few more layers of clothes at the mall, they would probably have been frozen silly by now.
Zhou Xuan was shaking as he walked. He wore gloves, but his hands holding the bag were numb from the cold and he had no feeling at all.
He felt like a wooden man, unable to bend his joints.
Zheng Shi originally wanted to speak, but a breath of cold wind blew in, and he immediately became quiet.
"thump."
Zhou Xuan mechanically turned his head and looked at his companion who had fallen to the ground, and did not react for a moment.
After the man fell, he lay on the ground, motionless.
"What are you standing there for? Help him up!"
Zheng Shi's voice seemed distorted in the whistling wind.
The others woke up as if from a dream. They didn't care about what Zheng Shi said before they set off, that it was none of his business even if someone died outside. Several of them put down what they were holding and hurriedly helped the person up.
"Wake up!"
Zheng Shi shook the man, but the latter was still not awake. Without caring about anything else, he slapped the man a few times, then took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth.
In the crowd, several people looked at each other and prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that nothing would happen to this kid.
Otherwise, they would be stumped as to whether to choose to save lives or to obtain supplies.
Until this point, no one has given up the rules of civilized society. They believe that the crisis is only temporary, and it is this belief that supports them to come out and find supplies and survive this period.
Fortunately, things did not develop to this point. Not long after, the fainted person woke up.
"Thank you, thank you." He said with difficulty.
"Keep going when you wake up. We're almost at the air-raid shelter."
Zheng Shi led the way in front, and the others followed with gritted teeth.
At this moment, they finally understood why Xu Kai and his group were unwilling to share their food before.
Nonsense, how can you give away something you earned with your life so easily to others?
After many hardships, everyone finally returned to the air-raid shelter. Once they arrived at the warm and safe place, everyone collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
Xiao Jie was among the crowd of onlookers nearby, and she was surprised to find that Zhou Xuan was among them.
Moreover, he successfully brought back food.
Xiao Jie was so hungry that she didn't care that he had already fallen out with her before.
"Zhou Xuan, can you give me some food?"
"roll!"
Even though Zhou Xuan's teeth were chattering, it didn't stop him from telling Xiao Jie to get lost.
Xiao Jie bit her lip, suddenly stepped forward, picked up Zhou Xuan's bag of food and ran away. Everyone else was also stunned and no one stopped her.
But soon, groups of two or three people chased in the direction Xiao Jie left.
Zhou Xuan wanted to stand up, but he was too tired. As soon as he stood up, Xiao Jie had already run away.
Upon seeing this, the other people immediately hid their belongings and looked at the people around them as if they were guarding against thieves.
Hey!
Zhou Xuan knew that even if he caught Xiao Jie now, he couldn't get the food back.
Fortunately, he still has space, which is the basis of his survival.
Zhou Xuan clenched the jade pendant tightly; it was the last thing that could give him comfort.
But the next second, he was completely stunned.
Space, he filled up half of the space?!
