Ice Age Apocalypse: I've Stockpiled Billions of Resources

"Let's do a video call instead."

Lin Luo felt that sending text messages was too slow, and that video calls were faster.

He was about to leave the safe house and needed to make some plans with Tian Xiaoyu.

Going downstairs, crossing the residential area, and getting into the car—each of these three steps involves enormous danger.

If she's not careful, Lin Luo could be stuck in Happiness Community forever.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong..."

Tian Xiaoyu was eating instant noodles when her phone suddenly rang.

She reached for her phone, then pulled her hand back.

"The call must have been from Lin Luo. I just sent him that message, and he didn't reply to a single one. I was worried something had happened to him."

"I'll answer the phone a little later this time, so Lin Luo can have a good worry."

Tian Xiaoyu's temper flared up.

He said he wouldn't answer the phone, but his actions betrayed him.

Tian Xiaoyu couldn't help but turn her head to look, muttering to herself, "What if Lin Luo needs to contact me about something important? Wouldn't it be bad if I didn't answer the phone now?"

She answered the phone anyway, her voice deliberately cold: "What's the matter?"

Lin Luo smiled and said, "Don't be angry. I was busy just now and didn't see your message."

"What are you busy with?"

Tian Xiaoyu then asked.

“Last time I told them that the whole apartment building ganged up on me and wanted to kill me, so I used food to play a trick on them.”

Lin Luo recounted to Tian Xiaoyu the story of how he had teased Xu Shuangyu and the others.

Tian Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're really naughty, teasing people like that."

Lin Luo sneered, "Evil people will be punished by evil people. They wanted to kill me and steal my supplies. I was just playing with them. That's already very kind of me."

After learning the truth, Tian Xiaoyu's anger subsided considerably: "There are too many bad people these days. I've been on the bus the whole time, and I'm too scared to get off. I've been to several different places since I left Xingfu Community."

"In the future, we will drive our RV to the western plateau, and we will encounter many dangers along the way. This is just an appetizer."

Lin Luo was already used to it.

"Ugh."

Tian Xiaoyu sighed: "There's nothing we can do about it. Lin Luo, when should we set off?"

"No more than three days. If I can't find a suitable time to leave within three days, I'll have to risk leaving."

Lin Luo kept an eye on the temperature; it had warmed up considerably by now.

The temperature has risen again from below -10 degrees Celsius to just a few degrees.

The temperature only returns to around minus one or two degrees Celsius when it gets to night.

The lowest temperature for ice is 0 degrees Celsius; it will melt if you go any higher.

Much of the ice and snow has melted, and there is no snow to be seen on the roads.

Lin Luo read a lot of international and domestic news reports, and the temperature will rise again in the next three days.

By the time all the ice and snow have melted, a major flood will have already arrived.

So Lin Luo didn't leave in Tian Xiaoyu's car; he was looking for a boat.

"Try to hurry up, the drains are all clogged where I parked, and the water is almost a tenth of the way up the wheels," Tian Xiaoyu agreed.

"I will."

Lin Luo nodded.

"Should we take the highway or walk to the western plateau?"

Tian Xiaoyu asked.

"We'll have to see how things go; it's hard to make a judgment right now."

Lin Luo prefers to take the national highway, as taking the expressway carries significant risks.

The highway is quite fast, but if there's a traffic jam, it's difficult to find a way around it.

However, on the other hand, taking the regular national highways will avoid traffic jams.

For example, the national highways in provinces like Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan are extremely dangerous.

Lin Luo had been to these places and had played there; driving in them was extremely dangerous.

Below the national highway is a sheer cliff; a slight misstep could result in a fatal accident.

"I'll do whatever you say."

Tian Xiaoyu complied.

"can."

Lin Luo suddenly asked, "Are you eating instant noodles again?"

"I'm eating."

Tian Xiaoyu asked warily, "What's wrong?"

She had just overheard Lin Luo and the group of people downstairs; they were clearly full of bad intentions.

"What kind of attitude is this? I'm just asking you a question, why are you so defensive?"

Lin Luo smiled wryly.

“I wouldn’t call it being so defensive, it was more like a subconscious reaction. I was also a victim of what you posted on your WeChat Moments back then.”

Tian Xiaoyu said bluntly.

"It seems that because I post food photos and share my feelings every day, many people have deleted me from WeChat."

Lin Luo smiled wryly.

"As long as you know."

Tian Xiaoyu's voice was filled with resentment.

"I'll cook something delicious for you myself once I get in the car."

"really?"

"real."

"Two months have passed now, do you still have that many supplies at home?"

Tian Xiaoyu asked in confusion.

"I have plenty more."

Lin Luo replied.

“If you come down alone, a lot of food will go to waste.”

There's nothing we can do about that.

"That's true. As long as people are safe, we can make our own food later."

Tian Xiaoyu gave instructions.

Lin Luo nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who would risk my life for food."

He chatted with Tian Xiaoyu for a few more minutes and roughly agreed on a time before hanging up the phone.

The people downstairs were still making a ruckus, constantly arguing.

"You bunch of idiots, what are you yelling about? Don't disturb my sleep."

After Lin Luo finished cursing, he closed the balcony door, put on his headphones, and started playing games.

He'll be living in a motorhome from now on, so it'll be hard for him to play computer games.

Lin Luo's strange space is a big secret, and he doesn't plan to tell Tian Xiaoyu.

From now on, if he takes out food from the strange space, he has to say that he found it outside.

Lin Luo thought of a few more dolls that she had bought but never used.

However, he swept away this unhealthy idea: if you don't want to play with real people, why play with dolls?

For a period of time during the Ice Age, quite a few people added me in the background.

Many of them are pretty girls from the neighborhood; they are all young and energetic.

If Lin Luo wanted someone, he could have any type of woman: a beautiful young college girl, a gentle and charming young woman, or a mature and alluring older woman.

Lin Luo knew how complex human nature could be.

It's very likely that the second brother will be happy, but the eldest brother will suffer.

Lin Luo turned on the stereo and started playing songs.

Some people like to play music while playing video games, while driving, and even while walking.

Lin Luo is this type of person.

He began to focus on the game while listening to beautiful music.

Lin Luo took out a chilled watermelon and chilled mung bean soup and began to enjoy them.

The oven was still on at home, and with the help of the inverter air conditioner, he didn't feel cold even when he was wearing only his underwear.

The oven was so hot that Lin Luo felt a bit hot.

It's July now, the hottest place in the south.

Temperatures in the south around 30 degrees Celsius can feel as hot as temperatures in the north around 40 degrees Celsius, making it feel exceptionally hot.

Lin Luo, being from the south, would eat both of these things at this time of year.
