Survival in the apocalypse: I exploited a bug in an infinite dungeon.
Chapter 59 Ankang City 4
Looking at the temperature, it dropped from 25 degrees to -5 degrees in less than a day, and it's still falling.
She felt she had to speed things up.
With that in mind, I immediately searched for the road to Little Dwarf Village.
It was discovered that, apart from the highway and the train, the only road connecting Xiao'ai Village to the outside world was a dirt road, not a highway.
Just as I was thinking about how to leave, the phone suddenly rang. It was the owner of the custom shop.
If the weather continues to get colder, they plan to close the shop in the next few days.
So they worked overtime to rush out Shi Jinwei's sled.
If Shi Jinwei needs it, she can come and pick it up this afternoon.
This might be the only good news of the day. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately took a taxi to the custom shop.
The owner was the only one left in the shop. The air conditioning was on, so it wasn't too cold.
When the boss saw her arrive, he took her directly to the back workroom.
I saw a large sled that was about four meters long and about two and a half meters wide.
The sled is white overall, with a small house on it that is two meters high, somewhat like a horse-drawn carriage with a door, and it is made of thickened insulation material.
Shi Jinwei was very satisfied, but how to take it away was the problem.
The shop owner had obviously thought of this too: "People have ordered sleds or carriages from me before, and I always delivered them to them using a tractor. If you need one, I can deliver it to your designated location for free."
Following the direction the boss was pointing, she saw a closed tractor engine.
Just ask the boss to help deliver the sled to the nearby park.
There's no one in the park now, so it's convenient for her to store it in her space.
This was the first time I'd met such a kind boss. When I said goodbye, he even said, "Boss, the cold weather might last for more than a week, so you'd better make some preparations yourself."
The boss, still smiling, drove off in his tractor, churning away.
He chuckled and shook his head: "This young lady is quite interesting. They've been reporting it for a week; how could she not believe the official forecast?"
Shi Jinwei put the sled into her spatial storage.
It would be too conspicuous to use this now; she needs to rent a car first.
I also visited several pet stores, but couldn't find a suitable large dog.
I plan to check if any large local dogs are in the farmhouses when I pass through some rural areas.
Shi Jinwei took a taxi to the nearest car rental company and rented an SUV this time.
In case there's no internet later, I downloaded offline maps on my phone beforehand.
Then they drove the SUV towards Xiao'ai Village.
Because of traffic congestion, we still hadn't left the city center by nightfall.
Looking at the traffic jam ahead and the time, she decided to stay nearby tonight and get some rest, and continue tomorrow.
After filling up the car at a gas station, Shi Jinwei spent 300 coins to check into a nice hotel.
The greeter, wearing a cotton coat, took her car keys, and she walked into the hotel on her own.
The moment she pushed open the door, a wave of warmth washed over her, making Shi Jinwei feel cozy and warm all over.
I went inside, ate something simple, took a hot bath, and felt completely refreshed.
However, the happiness did not last long. She had just finished drying her hair and lay down on the bed when the whole room was plunged into darkness.
I heard cursing coming from the next room, followed by the sound of a door opening.
Since the guest room phone was also malfunctioning, I went downstairs to find someone.
Shi Jinwei didn't get up because she received another notification on her phone: "Due to a sudden drop in temperature, the city's power supply is strained, causing unstable power and a city-wide power outage. Relevant departments are working to repair it."
Then, the lights in the room came on, but the central air conditioning didn't work.
A knock came at the door shortly after. Shi Jinwei opened it to find room service staff standing smiling in the doorway: "Hello, due to a city-wide power outage, our hotel is using backup power..."
In summary, the hotel was unable to provide electricity for anything other than lights before the power came back on, so we specially brought some warmth to keep you warm.
As Shi Jinwei received the thick quilt from the other person, she felt that she was benefiting from the kindness of her neighbor.
She's so easy to talk to, but the people around her aren't so easy to talk to.
As soon as I closed the door, I heard a knock on the door next to it, followed by a man's dissatisfied voice and the housekeeping staff's constant apologies.
Finally, the word "compensation" even appeared, which she found amusing.
Afraid of waking up cold in the middle of the night, he specially took out his small stove and coal, lit them, and then opened the bathroom door.
The bathroom has a ventilation opening, so there's no need to worry about poisoning from burning incense in the stove, and it still provides warmth—perfect.
Without wasting any more time, Shi Jinwei went straight to sleep.
When I woke up the next day, I found that the temperature had dropped by nearly 10 degrees again, and the outdoor temperature had now reached -13 degrees.
After a night, the entire city was still without power, and I didn't feel anything when I got up.
But when I put the stove away and went into the corridor, I found that the temperature was as low as an icebox.
Shivering, I put on another thick down jacket and warm socks.
After putting on a hat, mask, and gloves, Shi Jinwei came out of the room again.
At this time, almost everyone in the hotel was hiding in their rooms, keeping warm with their blankets.
There was nothing we could do; the temperature dropped by more than 30 degrees Celsius in just two days, and nobody was prepared for it.
Especially for those staying in hotels, whether on business trips or traveling, everyone checks the local temperature and prepares their clothes accordingly.
With this temperature suddenly, they'd be lucky to even have a long-sleeved shirt.
When Shi Jinwei checked out, she noticed that the receptionist was shaking like a leaf, his facial muscles trembling from laughing.
Driving on the road, I found that the traffic was not as congested as it was yesterday.
There were no more snow shovelers on the road; it was completely covered by snow.
Along the roadside, tree branches were bent low by the weight of the snow, with snowflakes constantly falling.
The shop signs on the street were only showing their square outlines due to the snow.
The mall entrance was packed with people. They were either buying down jackets or food.
The rush to buy started yesterday.
The citywide power outage and the further drop in temperature this morning amplified everyone's panic.
Even the slowest person would realize something was wrong. If they didn't prepare supplies by then, what a fool they would be.
Therefore, many employees took leave on their own even though their employers did not notify them of the holiday.
