Survival in the apocalypse: I exploited a bug in an infinite dungeon.

Shi Jinwei listened and observed the students, wondering if any of the NPCs were players.

After playing several rounds of the game, Shi Jinwei remained cautious and didn't know many other players.

The game does not have any costume items, so players can generally recognize the character after seeing them once.

Upon closer inspection, she discovered that none of the trainees were the faces she had seen before.

Actually, during the game space, someone suggested that players should have some kind of code in the game to make it easier for everyone to meet.

At first, some people responded positively, while others were skeptical. Shi Jinwei didn't get involved at the time, and later, for some reason, the matter was dropped.

She didn't know the specific reason, but people's hearts are unpredictable, so it's always better to be cautious.

Thinking this, Shi Jinwei withdrew her scrutinizing gaze and began to consider how to extract more useful information from the middle-aged woman, Teacher Li.

The trainees ate lunch in the cafeteria, and Teacher Li led a group of people there.

Perhaps because Shi Jinwei had talked to her a lot in the morning, she naturally pulled Shi Jinwei to sit at the same table.

Besides the two of them, there were two other women around the same age as Teacher Li. Teacher Li told her to call them Aunt Zhang and Aunt Liu.

They say three women make a drama, and Shi Jinwei ate her meal quietly with very little talk, listening to the three of them chat for the entire afternoon.

And among these, there was quite a bit of useful information.

According to them, the authorities recently purchased a large quantity of insulation materials, which were then delivered to a place called "Xiao'ai Village" in Ankang City.

"Isn't it strange that we're asked to buy insulation materials in this sweltering heat?" Aunt Zhang said in a low voice to Teacher Li and Aunt Liu, completely forgetting about Shi Jinwei, who was deliberately trying to keep a low profile.

The three were not from the same department, and Teacher Li also found it strange: "Even if it is to renovate an old residential area, this is the construction company's business. The price should have been agreed upon during the bidding process. How could it be your turn?"

Aunt Liu also revealed the information she had: "I've heard some news, it seems like they're going to build something."

"What? What?" The other two turned their gazes toward her.

Aunt Liu shook her head helplessly: "I only heard the section chief mention it on the phone, but I don't know the specifics."

Upon realizing there was nothing of value to inquire about, the other two immediately lost interest. After finishing their meal, the three naturally parted ways.

Shi Jinwei followed Teacher Li back to the training room. There was no lunch break, and the lecture continued.

In the afternoon, Jinwei didn't listen very carefully. While the teacher was engrossed in his lecture, she directly searched for "Xiao'ai Village" on her phone.

There isn't much information online, only that there's an abandoned air-raid shelter there. It was originally intended to be developed into a tourist attraction, and the villagers of Xiao'ai Village all moved away from there.

The project was temporarily suspended after the investors absconded, pending further action.

Considering the information obtained from the NPCs, it seems easy to guess that the authorities may intend to use this place as a refuge.

"Alright, that's all for today. We'll have another day of classes tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we'll officially start welcoming the children." Teacher Li's voice rang out from above, and Shi Jinwei realized that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Afraid of attracting too much attention, she didn't greet Teacher Li this time and simply left with the crowd.

Now that she knew that Xiao'ai Village might be the refuge, Shi Jinwei didn't plan to waste any more time and decided to go there tomorrow to check the situation.

That very night, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Shi Jinwei was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night. When she looked out the window, all she saw was a white expanse.

Even though it's the middle of the night, there's never a shortage of night owls online.

The news of the snowfall was quickly shared online, and people were surprised to find that it was snowing all over the country.

At this time, the authorities also issued a "temperature drop warning", stating that the temperature drop would last for about a week, and asked the public to pay attention to safety when going out.

Shi Jinwei sent a notice in the training group stating that today's training was suspended and the next training time would be announced later.

Cleaners have already started spreading salt on the roads.

The snowplows behind were also working in an orderly manner, which seemed to indicate that there really was an abnormal temperature.

Since the authorities have given an explanation, people don't pay much attention to it anymore and continue going to work as usual.

Yesterday it was still summer, but today the temperature has dropped below zero.

Many people caught a cold while they were sleeping, and many others didn't even take out their winter clothes.

Getting up in the middle of the night to rummage through winter clothes makes you even less energetic in the morning.

When Shi Jinwei called the bespoke shop owner, she heard the middle-aged man on the other end yawning repeatedly.

"You mean sleds? We'll have to wait until tomorrow," the boss said.

Shi Jinwei was a little anxious, but she knew that even if she was anxious today, no one could conjure up a finished product for her directly, so she could only be patient.

I contacted the landlord to say I wanted to move out.

She had initially planned to rent the place for a few days, but the snow started falling so quickly that she had to take action.

Fortunately, the guesthouse owner was used to this kind of thing and didn't make things difficult for us.

They only asked her to send them photos of the electricity meter and water meter, calculated the amount, and then returned the remaining deposit.

After thanking the boss, I put everything into the space.

He left a backpack as cover and went out to take a taxi to the train station to check the situation.

Xiao'ai Village is more than 300 kilometers away from Ankang City in a straight line, and it used to be accessible by bus.

After trains were introduced, buses stopped running. To get there, you either had to drive or take the train.

The snow was still falling outside, and the temperature continued to drop.

For various reasons, Shi Jinwei felt that the train was safer and faster.

There is no online ticketing service in Ankang City; you have to go to the train station to buy a ticket.

At this point, Shi Jinwei didn't care about saving money and took a taxi directly to the train station.

However, due to the sudden heavy snowfall, the snow in many places had not been cleared in time, resulting in severe traffic congestion.

After all that trouble, it was already noon when we arrived at the train station, and we started to squeeze in.

Whether it was normal for Ankang City to be like this or there were just more people today, Shi Jinwei was sweating profusely as she finally squeezed her way to the ticket window.

Then I waited in line for an hour and a half before it was finally my turn.

"Hello, I'd like to buy a train ticket to 'Little Dwarf Village'." Shi Jinwei handed over her ID card.

The other party didn't answer: "The train to Xiao'ai Village has stopped running."

Shi Jinwei was taken aback. So fast?

Seeing her stunned expression, the ticket seller patiently explained, "The service stopped a few days ago. If you want to go, you'd better look for other ways to get there."

"Thank you," Shi Jinwei said politely, then squeezed her way out of the crowd with difficulty.

Since the trains were out of service, the only hope was to use buses. Then I received a text message: "Due to weather conditions, major highways are temporarily closed. The reopening time is to be determined. We advise the public to plan their travel accordingly."

Shi Jinwei: "..."

I always feel like this game is designed to leave people with no way to survive.

Since the highway is impassable, we'll have to rent a car.
