Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1774 The Last Five Hours

Los Angeles.

The Funiu Mountains are covered in snow-white peaks.

Thousands of miles are frozen, and thousands of miles are snow drifting.

An unknown cave.

woo woo woo woo--

From the gap on the top of the cave, the sound of the wind was like the howling of a ghost.

Snowflakes were constantly blown down from the gap on the top.

There was also a light snowfall inside the cave.

"Dad, it seems like the wind outside has become much stronger." Zhou Dafu's wife wrapped the quilt tightly and looked at the gap with some worry.

Zhou Dafu stood up, and a gust of wind blew from nowhere, making him shiver all over.

Even though the fire was burning 24 hours a day, the temperature in the cave was still below zero.

They had no idea how low the temperature outside was.

Zhou Dafu quickly put on his coat and walked to the gap at the back.

I saw that the hole in the gap was getting longer and longer, which meant that the snow outside the hole was getting higher and higher.

After standing for a while, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Quickly run back to the stove to warm yourself.

"The snow outside is getting heavier. Now there is only this gap left for ventilation, and there are two other places."

Zhou Dafu looked at Zhou Chen.
“Xiaochen, Xiaoguang, move the firewood out and pile it over there. Let’s go and enlarge the two ventilation holes. Otherwise, if the gaps above our heads are blocked by snow, we won’t have enough oxygen inside and will suffocate.”

"Okay." Zhou Chen got off the bed and went with Zhou Guang to fetch firewood.

The other two vents were too high for them to reach, and the walls were too smooth for them to climb up.

It is more than 20 meters high and the escalator built before cannot reach it.

It can only be piled up little by little using firewood.

The entrance of the cave is the lowest and slopes downward.

The further you go inside, the higher it gets, with the height difference reaching thirty or forty meters.

The innermost hole above the head is more than thirty meters from the ground.

They couldn't reach it at all, so they could only expand the other two ventilation areas.

In recent days, the several vents below were buried in snow, and even if they poked them with sticks, it was useless because they were frozen solid.

If it was only buried a little bit, it could be opened, but now it is piled several meters high and there is no way to do it.

And now the yard outside the cave is completely buried in snow.

Zhou Dafu, his wife Liu Meiru, Zhou Chen and Zhou Guang, the four of them moved the firewood piled up in the corner little by little, forming a staircase shape until it reached ten meters.

Zhou Dafu asked Zhou Guang to bring the ladder over and place it on the firewood.

"Dad, be careful when you climb up!" Liu Meiru said worriedly.

If you fall from a height of more than ten meters, you may die even if there is firewood underneath.

Zhou Dafu nodded and climbed up the escalator with a crowbar.

"Let's hold him tight." Liu Meiru quickly said to her two sons.

The three of them held the escalator tightly to prevent it from shaking and causing Chow Tai Fook to fall down.

Chow Tai Fook climbed up the escalator little by little and arrived at the small hole.

This was the first time he climbed up to check the entrance of the cave. He had never been up there before because it was too high.

I lay down at the entrance of the cave and saw that it was about the size of a head. It was winding and no one knew where it led to.

He held the crowbar in his right hand and hit the stone inside hard.

Ding-ding-ding-ding——

Perhaps it was because the weather was too cold, or perhaps it was because the stone wall was inherently hard, and it did not move at all when he knocked on it.

He tapped twice more, then paused, frowning.

Climb down and return to the firewood.

"What's wrong, Dad?" Zhou Chen asked puzzledly.

Zhou Dafu pointed to the stone wall above and said:
"It's too hard and too long. Unless we break it open to a size large enough for a person to crawl in, it will be a waste of time. We have to break it open to the outermost position."

“It doesn’t seem realistic right now.”

"What should we do then?" Zhou Guang asked.

Zhou Dafu said in a deep voice:
"Let's go down first and think of a solution together. We need to prepare for a rainy day. We don't know how long this blizzard will last. If the ventilation holes in the cave are buried by snow, we won't freeze to death, but suffocate to death."

Huashan.

mountain top.

A Taoist temple that has stood for hundreds of years is facing its biggest challenge.

Inside the Taoist temple.

An old man wearing a Taoist robe, with a sage-like appearance, sat cross-legged in meditation with his eyes closed.

In front of him, a bonfire was burning.

Across from the campfire sat a man dressed like a bear.

"Master Shishishi, aren't you cold? You're wearing so little." Jiba asked tremblingly.

The old man in Taoist robe had long white eyebrows that fell to the corners of his eyes.

The old man opened his eyes, and his eyes were clearer than his age.

It's not the turbidity that comes from being older and going through too many hardships.

"When your mind is calm, you won't feel the cold anymore."

Ji Ba looked at the old man as if he were a god.

"I've only heard that if you keep calm you will naturally feel cooler, but now you can also keep calm and feel warmer?"

The old man ignored him and continued to close his eyes.

Jiba looked at the door that was shaking slightly due to the wind and asked worriedly:

"Master, the wind seems to be stronger now. Will this Taoist temple be unable to hold up?"

"Master, aren't you afraid of death?"

"Master, why are you ignoring me?"

"Master, I have a question for you. It has been in my mind for a long time."

"Ask." The old Taoist priest answered helplessly, but he still closed his eyes.

He felt that if he didn't answer him, Jiba would keep asking.

"Master, are you still a virgin?"

In other words, this question is asking, are you still a virgin?
And he asked this to an old man who was already over 80 years old.

After asking this question, Ji Ba looked at the old Taoist priest with some trepidation.

He moved his butt back, ready to run away at any time.

The old Taoist priest suddenly opened his eyes and his eyelids twitched.

This brat almost affected his spiritual faith.

What a sin, the old Taoist priest cried out in his heart, how could I accept such a disciple.

If I had known this earlier, I would have let him freeze to death on Mount Huashan instead of saving him.

"Qingfeng." The old Taoist looked at Jiba with a gentle tone. "Master, don't be angry, I'm just a little bored." Jiba said with a smile.

The old Taoist sighed, "I shouldn't have accepted you as my disciple."

"However, fate has it that you may be the calamity of my life."

"Ugh"

Jiba lowered his head with some sadness and said, "Master, please don't say that. It makes me uncomfortable when you say that."

After saying this, he raised his head again and asked in the firelight with great interest:

"But since it's like this, why don't you tell me whether you are a virgin or not?"

The old Taoist's emotions, which had finally calmed down, were stirred up again.

His eyelids twitched violently and the corners of his mouth pulled back.

Swish!
He stood up and picked up the firewood beside him.

Jiba looked at his master who was becoming increasingly terrifying, and stepped back in fear.

"Master, what are you doing?!"

"Master, I'm just asking out of curiosity. If I don't understand clearly, my mind will not be clear."

"Master, are you serious?"

“Master, I don’t dare anymore, ahhhhh!”

"Master, I really don't dare anymore,"

"Master, you said monks can't use force casually."

A few minutes later.

Click.

The wooden stick was broken by the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist threw the remaining sticks onto the campfire and sat back in his original position calmly.

Ji Ba, who was standing opposite, had a bruised face and nose and looked at the old Taoist priest with resentment on his face.

"Master, why did you hit me?"

"You deserve a beating."

"Didn't you say that Taoism follows nature and that we can't resort to violence at will?"

"Beating you makes me feel good physically and mentally. This is the way of nature."

"."

Ji Ba looked at his master with a calm face and seemed to understand what Tao meant.

7 p.m.

There are still five hours until midnight.

Big camphor tree base.

Deng Wen hurried down to the meteorological monitoring station.

"Dean, the wind force is already level nine now."

"So fast!?" Song Zhihong was shocked. This was much faster than they expected.

At this rate, the wind speed will reach level 10 tomorrow morning, not until tomorrow afternoon.

This then causes white hair wind weather.

Fortunately, they planned it before 12 o'clock tonight.

"I will inform the city lord and the president and others. You continue to monitor."

Song Zhihong was about to leave, but he stopped and said to Deng Wen:

"Don't go up there. The force 11 wind is very dangerous. I'm afraid you won't be able to come down. You should monitor it at the monitoring station on the wall. You must retreat back to the residential area before o'clock tonight."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid." Deng Wen said confidently.

"I'm afraid!"

Song Zhihong glared at him, "I was afraid you were dead! We don't have many meteorology experts in the Natural Disaster Research Institute, and you are one of the best. If anything happens to you, it will be a huge loss to our camphor tree base!"

Deng Wen was stunned when he heard this. Although Song Zhihong's tone was not very good, he felt that he was valued.

My heart feels warm.

"it is good."

Song Zhihong glanced at him, turned and left.

Big camphor tree base.

inner city.

Central villa area.

The three-story villa with the best location.

Once the white fur wind arrives, the villa area will definitely be buried in snow because the villas are not as tall as seven- or eight-story residential buildings.

Li Yu brought all his immediate family members to the villa where they lived.

There is a basement escape passage under this villa.

This passage leads to the outermost cliff.

Below the hundred-meter-high cliff is the current buffer city water storage lake.

Ding Qingqing and others had known about this passage since the last time it was attacked by infiltrators from the Northern Territory.

In addition to this escape passage, as the Dazhangshu base develops, it is also within the scope of the Dazhangshu base.

The role of the escape route is not very meaningful.

But at this moment, the escape route has another function.

ventilation.

Once there is a problem with the ventilation system in the villa area, the people living in the villas will suffocate to death.

But with this vent, they won't have this problem no matter how deeply they are buried under snow.

For Li Yu, his original intention has not changed from the outbreak of the apocalypse to the present.

That is his family, which always comes first.

Parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts and uncles, etc.

The second is his greater ambition, which is the development of the large camphor tree base.

If I had to choose, family would definitely come first.

Therefore, in order to ensure that his family would definitely survive, he chose to reveal this secret escape route to them.

In the past seven years, no relative has done anything to disappoint him, which is one of the reasons why he is willing to make it public.

One floor above ground.

Li Yu looked at everyone and gave them arrangements.

"Yutong, count the number of people. There are thirty-six in total. Not one can be less." Li Yu reminded.

"Xiao Yuan, go and take Qing Yang and Xiao Hang, as well as Xiao Chi and Pei Zhen. Go over and help bring more food down and store it in the basement. It should be enough for us to consume for at least half a year."

It was the first time for my second uncle and fourth uncle to come here and see this basement passage.

After visiting from below, he ran up and gave a thumbs up and praised:
"Xiaoyu, you really thought it through. I never thought there would be such a large escape passage."

"Yes, this villa has been built for so many years, and you built this underground passage seven years ago." Aunt Li Qingqing exclaimed.

"It doesn't matter. Uncle, have you finished reinforcing your factory?" Li Yu asked.

"Don't worry, it's done." replied my second uncle.
