From doomsday survival to fast-forward daily life

At three o'clock in the morning, Tian Yu was awakened by the alarm shortly after taking a shower and falling asleep.

She quickly opened her eyes and looked towards the source of the sound - her cell phone.

Because she is engaged in self-media and writing, Tian Yu needs many small accounts and aliases to surf the Internet, which also requires her to use three mobile phones and two computers. When the copy is opened, she assigns different functions to the mobile phones and computers respectively. At this time, this mobile phone should be responsible for in-car monitoring.

Tian Yu quickly regained consciousness and checked his cell phone. His vehicle was equipped with an alarm device, so the noise should mean someone was trying to open his car.

As expected, the surveillance camera did not capture any human figures.

"Li Xin?" Tian Yu raised his eyebrows, but why was he trying to open his car door?

Any normal person should know that today's cars are equipped with alarms that will be triggered as long as there is violent car-breaking. Li Xin doesn't look like a fool. His purpose should be to attract his attention.

Tian Yu put himself into Li Xin's perspective, assuming that he had determined the player's location and had even taken the initiative to move to where the other person was, but he had not taken any action, and even sneaked into his neighbor's house at night. This only shows that he could not confirm who that person was.

He sneaked into Aunt Zhang's house that night, perhaps by climbing through the window, or perhaps by some other method. In any case, he did not have any means of breaking into the house violently, otherwise he would have entered his house long ago. This also means that he needs to check the residents one by one.

Tonight, he took the initiative to trigger the alarm of his vehicle, probably to confirm whether the owner was in the building or at home.

It seems that he has figured out the details of most of the residents in his building, but I don’t know if he has checked every house before locking on me.

Since Li Xin moved into the downstairs of his house, the vehicle surveillance showed that he had never hoarded a large amount of supplies. In the face of the snowstorm, he had no reason not to make some preparations for his own survival. Either he had other means on the fourth floor to ensure food and temperature, or another possibility was that he had another safe house like himself.

Li Xin stayed on the fourth floor for two days in a row, but still didn't find any clues of another player. A few days ago, he used his stealth skills to climb in through the window and check several households on the first to third floors, but didn't find anything special.

From his observation, it seemed that several households upstairs had only made hasty purchases since the temperature dropped in the past two days.

This old community doesn't have any property management, and there isn't even a WeChat group among the residents. The most suspicious thing upon observation is the room upstairs from him. His door is the most solid one, and he didn't hear any sound coming from the house downstairs these days.

Li Xin called the agent and was told that there was no house for rent on the fifth floor. This made Li Xin feel even more suspicious. While his neighbors were out grabbing supplies, he found out that the car that had been parked downstairs belonged to a resident on the fifth floor.

Could it be that the other party had already prepared the supplies or knew some inside information and was therefore unwilling to go out?

The food he prepared in the system safe house would only last for a month, and his random identity was just a poor student. He didn't have much money left after renting a house, and he didn't know how long this copy would last. Li Xin was a little afraid that his supplies would not be enough to cope with this simplest copy.

In order to accumulate enough points, he did not spend them to redeem too many necessities of life in the safe house. Instead, he redeemed a lot of props. Who knew that this copy world was the simplest E-level copy, and many props could not be used due to restrictions.

"It seems that after this copy is over, I have to think carefully about exchanging the things I need for life." Li Xin thought silently, and then remembered that the resident upstairs had never shown up, and he didn't know whether the other party was at home, so he came up with a plan.

At 3:30 in the morning, Tian Yu thought for a while and felt that Li Xin's move was probably to confirm whether she was at home. After all, the car was parked downstairs, and anyone who heard the alarm would have some reaction. After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to wait and see what Li Xin was going to do next.

Wrapping himself tightly in the quilt, Tian Yu was about to fall asleep again.

"Di-di-di-di-"

The alarm sounded again, and Tian Yu's newly-emerged sleepiness was dispelled. She turned over, but the surveillance camera still couldn't capture any images. She turned on another mobile phone and called up the surveillance camera at the door of her home. The shrill alarm of her car was echoing in the residential building downstairs.

"Good boy, are you trying to irritate me?"

Tian Yu guessed Li Xin's idea. He wanted to use the car alarm to keep testing until he was lured out. If he did not show up, it would happen to mean that the owner was not at home. It must be said that this move of his was insidious enough.

Tian Yu was no longer sleepy, so he sat up and opened various websites to check the information about the temperature drop.

More than ten minutes later, the alarm sounded again. Tian Yu just took a look and ignored it. The other party's behavior just showed that he had run out of tricks and had no special means to lock him. He couldn't even open the door of his own house!

At four o'clock in the morning, the alarm sounded again. Tian Yu, who had been surfing the Internet late at night, was already feeling a little tired. The temperature shown by the weather software was now minus 20 degrees Celsius, and the actual temperature might be even lower. Isn't he tired or cold going back and forth?

I don't plan to care about Li Xin anymore. His current probing doesn't pose any threat to me anymore, so I'd better just get some sleep.

Although Tian Yu was preparing to go to sleep, he was woken up by the noise. He heard the sound of someone pushing open the window and cursing from the surveillance camera at the door.

It seemed that other residents were woken up by Li Xin. Thinking of this, Tian Yu fell asleep, and the phone did not emit any more alarm sounds.

On the third day after the dungeon was opened, the temperature in Linhai City reached a terrifying minus 30 degrees Celsius, but Tian Yu felt that the temperature might not have reached its limit yet.

Starting today, although the north is covered with ice and snow, a strange scene has appeared in the usually warm south - the sun is high in the sky, and the temperature shows no sign of warming up.

When the Tian Yu copy was unlocked 30% ahead of schedule, the system triggered the prompt word "snow disaster", perhaps the terrible snowfall was brewing.

This cooling is global. Even in the world's hottest desert, the temperature has dropped to over ten degrees. Tian Yu keeps refreshing the information. The news shows that the temperature near the equator has dropped below zero. Due to the lack of sufficient reserves, the United Nations is providing assistance to nearby countries.

Domestic production work has not been greatly affected so far. Although the temperature drop this time was strange and rapid, fortunately there was enough time for reaction, and no serious large-scale accidents have occurred so far.

However, judging from the news and comments from netizens, the losses caused by this cooling are still considerable.

In the north of the country, a large number of cattle and sheep were frozen to death. The power grid in the northernmost region was paralyzed due to the drop in temperature. The government has launched an evacuation of personnel. Food, warm clothes, coal, etc. were sold out. The losses in the south due to the drop in temperature were also huge. A large number of factories stopped production, fishermen were trapped, and accidents and looting due to insufficient supply reserves were everywhere.

While there are complaints online, there is also hope. Many local governments have already launched support work. Tian Yu speculates that there may be players in places she cannot reach. The early sell-out of charcoal in H City has always left a question mark in her notes.

For Tian Yu, perhaps what she can do is to convey some self-protection methods through self-media.

On the fourth day of the dungeon opening, just after one o'clock in the morning, Tian Yu's vehicle alarm sounded.

The alarm sounded almost every half hour, and finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore.

"What the hell are you doing staying up all night?! Are you still going to sleep?!"

Under the intimidation of the residents' roars and several men who rushed downstairs with sticks, Li Xin never touched Tian Yu's car parked downstairs again tonight.
