Chapter 38 The Thirteenth Day of Global Freezing
October 23, 2023, Blue Star Calendar, the thirteenth day of global freezing.
Li Mo couldn't help but sigh: "Time passes so slowly, it feels like at least a month has passed, but I only realized that only 13 days have passed."
The table was full of various foods, which Li Mo specially rewarded himself after working out.
"I woke up."
"Well, I'll send you some food!"
A white light flashed, and a roasted chicken appeared in Ye Yourong's room.
During this period, Ye Yourong would report to Li Mo no matter what he did.
Most of the time, Li Mo only replied with one word, such as "OK" or "Hmm".
Ye Yourong was so docile that it was scary.
Once she said she wanted to pee, Li Mo was too lazy to respond.
Five hours later, she couldn't stand it anymore and asked again.
Only then did Li Mo realize that she didn't go to pee without his permission and kept holding it in.
From then on, Li Mo would at least reply with one word to express his will.
"Do you have any ibuprofen capsules? I have a severe cold and lack medication."
An owner sent a message for help in the group.
The group was as silent as death, with no response.
Now owners rarely chat in the group, and they basically ask for help, but there are very few responses.
Thirteen days ago, before the end of the world, there were still a lot of people in the group chatting and talking about family matters.
Now, people in the group no longer have the mood to chat.
The owner who had a severe cold waited for a long time, but got no response.
"How can you do this? Shouldn't neighbors help each other?"
He shouted angrily in the group, but what he got was the mocking voices of his neighbors.
"You also know that we should help each other. I helped you. What can you do for me?"
"You, you are too mercenary to think like that!"
"Whatever you think, be mercenary! People are selfish. You must know this truth now. You have lived in vain for so many years!"
The conversation between the two did not cause any waves. Soon someone asked for help in the group.
"Professor Wu, my wife is confused and has a low temperature. Can you come and see her?"
"Okay, I'll go there now."
Professor Wu is a retired professor of Jinhai Medical University with amazing medical skills.
These days, in order to have a bite to eat, he started to see the residents of the building for a fee.
The consultation fee is a bag of instant noodles or bread.
There is only one doctor in the whole building, and no one dares to offend him.
"Professor Wu, you are highly respected. Please see me. I am really uncomfortable."
The owner with a severe cold asked Professor Wu for help, hoping that the old professor could help him.
As far as he knows, Professor Wu used to pick up garbage in the community and clean for free. He is a good person.
"I have already said that severe colds can be cured with medicine. I can't do anything without medicine."
"You are a doctor. You must have a way, or give me some medicine!"
Professor Wu did not reply to the message. He is a professor at a medical university, not a doctor.
Even doctors would not hoard a large amount of medicine at home. The medicines in his home have long been distributed to neighbors.
"I haven't eaten a bite for 4 days. Who can lend me some food?"
"I... I am willing to use my body... in exchange for food!"
The person who said this is a white-collar worker in the workplace and a decent woman.
Now, in order to survive, she has to give up her dignity.
Men who think with their lower body are not lacking anywhere.
Li Mo saw through the surveillance that the white-collar worker came out of the room.
When he came back, he was holding half a box of biscuits in his hand.
"I feel so hot and sweating all over. Do I have superpowers?"
An owner said excitedly in the group, thinking that he finally didn't have to worry about freezing to death.
Professor Wu, who had just returned from the consultation, could not help but sigh when he saw the owner's message.
"This is a last gasp of life. Your body functions have collapsed and you are dying!"
"Nonsense, you are clearly jealous of me!"
The owner never spoke in the group again.
He died naked in his own home with an excited look on his face.
At this time, what enveloped the building was no longer panic, but despair!
In the safe house, a small coffee table was placed in front of the French window, and the teapot was steaming hot.
Li Mo sat on a bamboo chair with a book in his hand.
In the past, in order to make money, he didn't even have time to read books. Now he finally has plenty of time to read some useless books.
"This high school student named A Bing has poor academic performance, but he is the protagonist of the novel. The author is really good at fantasizing."
Li Mo took a sip of tea and took the opportunity to complain about the novel.
But he didn't put the book down, but continued to read with relish.
Li Mo didn't feel the cold and hunger outside the safe house. He was immersed in the world of novels all day long.
"Ding! Master, it's time for dinner."
The voice of the smart housekeeper appeared all around, reminding Li Mo that it was time for dinner.
At Li Mo's request, the smart housekeeper made a healthy and regular schedule.
"You've eaten too much meat and fish these days, so let's have a lighter dinner."
Li Mo touched his stomach and didn't feel hungry at all.
The cabbage and tofu soup, paired with two buckwheat buns, was already very satisfying.
When material conditions are met, people will no longer deliberately pursue luxurious enjoyment.
Doing whatever makes you happy is actually the most luxurious!
After dinner, Li Mo sighed comfortably and picked up the book to continue reading.
It was almost time, and the power was disconnected again after more than an hour.
Tianhe Community and even the entire Jinhai City fell into darkness.
Only 901 where Li Mo was located was still shining, like a beacon for the entire city.
Xia Ling, who was also in Building 9, gradually recovered from her severe cold. She escaped and did not freeze to death.
She could not suppress her hatred for Li Mo in her heart, and she was eager to take revenge on Li Mo.
"Li Heigou, wait for me to break in, I will strip you naked, throw you into the snow, and freeze you to death!"
Xia Ling looked for partners in the friend list, and finally pulled a small group.
"Xia Ling, why did you suddenly pull me into the group? What is this group for?"
The woman who spoke was Gao Yahui, who lived in Building 9 and was a close friend of Xia Ling.
"Sister, I know a place with lots of food inside. It's newly renovated and has good cold-proof capabilities."
"Really! It's heaven. Tell me where it is. Is it in Building 9?"
Another group member, Ran Yun, shouted excitedly, eager to live in such a house.
Xia Ling had already made a plan in her mind. As long as she found a few helpers, she would have a great chance of opening the door of 901.
This time, she didn't plan to bring Zhao Xiang to play.
No matter how much supplies Li Mo had stored, the quantity was limited. If one more person joined, the supplies each person would get would be much less.
