Chapter 24 Food Shortages Begin
Hu! Hu! Hu!
Li Mo stopped panting and ended his one-hour fitness today.
He will live in this 120-square-meter safe house for the rest of his life. If he doesn't exercise, he will get fat in no time.
Finally, it will cause high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood lipids, etc., which are basic diseases of the human body.
The treadmill is placed in front of the French window, and you can see the scene outside as soon as you look up.
Today is the fifth day of the apocalypse, and the snowflakes are still falling.
The temperature continues to drop, and the outdoor temperature is already minus 50 degrees Celsius.
No one has ever been able to survive for a long time in such a low temperature.
Li Mo quickly took a shower and walked out in a bathrobe.
"All TV channels have stopped working, and I will never see real-time news again."
Li Mo held the remote control in his hand and sighed with a complicated tone.
"But fortunately, I was prepared. I downloaded all the movies in film history before the apocalypse, as well as a large number of TV series and variety shows."
So many videos, I can't finish watching them in my lifetime.
Just as Li Mo was watching a movie leisurely in the safe house, someone in the owner group couldn't help but start to speak.
"This weather is too cold. I used all the quilts in the house, but it still doesn't work!"
"Who said it wasn't! The air conditioner is useless. I've been in bed all day. Now my ears and cheeks are frostbitten. It's terrible!"
" x-on:Zhang Cuifang, what's the situation now? My family's food is running out. Does the community have any explanation?"
The temperature has dropped for five days, and the community has not made any movement so far.
The panic in the hearts of the residents is increasing. What should they do if the food runs out?
" x-on:Zhang Cuifang, please come out and talk about the situation. Everyone is unsure."
The situation? I know the ghost situation!
Zhang Cuifang is just a property management in the community. She usually speaks as if she is an official, but in fact it is just to scare people.
"Well, I have called the community and I believe your problems will be solved soon."
Zhang Cuifang seemed to say something, but it seemed that she didn't say it.
The residents' doubts were not dispelled.
Some people started to think of ways on their own.
In the end, they found that it was freezing cold and they couldn't go anywhere.
The entire Tianhe community was like an isolated island, cut off from the outside world.
"Who has extra food? I'll buy your food."
The resident who spoke was called Jiang Kuang. He never cooked at home, and of course he didn't store food.
So he hadn't eaten for five days, and could only rely on biscuits and snacks to fill his stomach every day.
The residents of the building were still consuming their own food, and there was no way to buy it, so they ignored this person.
Jiang Kuang asked several times in the group, but no one responded.
His mood suddenly sank to the bottom.
"I'll give a hundred yuan, even a bucket of instant noodles."
As soon as this was said, the residents were immediately moved.
A bucket of instant noodles only costs 5 yuan, and a hundred yuan is a day's salary for many people.
If you stock up a few boxes of instant noodles at this time, you will be rich!
"I have instant noodles, but they are in bags."
"Okay!"
Jiang Kuang finally bought food, and tears of excitement were about to flow.
If he can't eat a hot bite of food, he will really starve to death.
"Wait, I'll give you 500 yuan, and I'll buy as much food as you have."
One of the owners who runs a company spoke up and directly raised the price fivefold.
The residents looked at their phones in disbelief, and all of them were tempted.
A box of instant noodles has 24 packs, that's 12,000 yuan!
"I have instant noodles, I'll sell you a few packs."
"I have a whole box, do you want more?"
Hu Yuan didn't hesitate for long, and said: "Yes! I want as much as I can!"
He has a lot of money, but in this case, no matter how much money he has, it is not as useful as a pack of instant noodles.
"What do you mean? I was here first!"
Seeing that the food in his hand was gone, Jiang Kuang immediately questioned Hu Yuan angrily.
Hu Yuan said disdainfully: "Now it's not about first come first served, but the highest bidder wins!"
The group chat soon fell silent, but the residents began to receive private messages.
On this day, two residents of Building 9, Jiang Kuang and Hu Yuan, set a precedent of buying food at a high price.
There were undercurrents in the building, and many shameful transactions were taking place.
Gao Yahui was a peripheral girl who was engaged in the flesh trade and was worth a lot of money.
In order to get some food, she secretly contacted single male residents.
"Hello, I haven't eaten for three days. Can you give me some food?"
"I don't have any. Ask someone else."
"This is my photo. If you give me a piece of bread, I can make you happy once."
The woman in the photo had a pretty face and delicate makeup. She was very beautiful.
Most people were very tempted, but they all rejected her conditions. They really had no food.
She chatted privately with more than a dozen people, and even expanded her target to married people.
Finally, Gao Yahui met a man with a horny mind and did not control her lower body.
Li Mo quietly looked at the messages in the group chat. There were also residents who chatted privately, but he did not reply.
"The expired instant noodles piled up in my space can probably be sold for 500,000,000."
This is just the beginning of the apocalypse. After a while, even 5 million won't be enough to buy a bag of instant noodles.
At that time, money had no value, and no amount of money could buy anything.
Li Mo saw the residents of the building constantly connecting and trading through the surveillance.
"Wow, it was not until the end of the world that the price of meat was finally brought down."
"Or has the value of food greatly increased?"
Li Mo saw an unbearable scene, which was simply a live broadcast.
However, the weather was too cold, and the man did not get hard at all.
Li Mo was not interested in these things at all, and turned off the surveillance directly.
"It's so boring, why not play a game."
There are many game consoles in the dimensional space, and you can choose any of them.
"Hey, the game produced by Deep Space Technology Group is called [Perfect Life]."
Deep Space Technology is the company where Li Mo graduated from university and interned, and it is a world technology giant.
"I have heard of this game a long time ago, but it needs to be paired with a game warehouse to play. I didn't expect that there are so many in the warehouse of Xinpu Logistics Park."
The game warehouse costs 200,000, which is not affordable for ordinary people.
"Hello, welcome to Perfect Life!"
Next, with the help of the female voice, he registered an account and created a virtual image.
He came to a dreamy city, full of green vegetation and bright sunshine.
Li Mo was lying in the game cabin, but his mind had already come to the game world.
"Fuck! It's so awesome!"
A few hours later, Li Mo quit the game and felt hungry.
So he took out A5 Kobe steak and French foie gras from the dimensional space and ate them happily.
