Ice Age Apocalypse: I've Stockpiled Billions of Resources

Many people in the village have become abnormal, eating like wild animals.

Next were Zou Miao's parents, who also began to resemble the people in the village.

Zou Miao sensed something was wrong and immediately made a choice.

His uncle's family moved to the city many years ago, and his family took care of their old house.

Later, my uncle's family would only go back home once a year for the Chinese New Year; otherwise, they wouldn't go back.

The empty house was considered his own home, so Zou Miao moved into his uncle's house.

It was this decision that allowed Zou Miao to live a little longer.

The diary records all the dangerous things Zou Miao encountered.

There are more and more monsters in the village. I need to find a way to leave, but I've tried many methods and none of them have worked.

The few remaining villagers decided to hide together in the cellar. They told us to help carry our food there, and unless someone came to rescue us, we would spend the rest of our lives there. I thought it was a good idea; it was better to stay there and wait to die than to live in fear.

No, there are monsters among our people. Letting them infiltrate the cellar is tantamount to us handing ourselves over.

.....

The diary entries ended there, with no further entries.

There are two possible outcomes for the owner of the diary: either he died outside and was unable to return to record it.

Another possibility is that the diarist left in such a hurry that they forgot to bring the diary with them.

According to the diarist, people used to be able to move freely within the village.

The diarist lived in the middle of the village and had run to the end of the village.

Zhang Miao's diary records no outsiders, meaning there were no outsiders when he died.

Lin Luo believes the first outcome is more likely.

After reading the diary, he went to the outer room, where everyone had almost recovered.

Hazuki asked, "Did you find anything?"

Lin Luo replied, "We found a diary. It's a record of the homeowner's experiences, roughly describing the dangers in the village."

"So that's how it is. They probably met with some misfortune."

"One clue is the people in the village; it's very likely that some of them are still alive."

Hazuki asked疑惑地问道：“Do you know the exact location?”

Lin Luo shook his head and said, "I don't know yet."

Cao Shengnan suddenly said, "You said there's a possibility that the survivors from the village are hiding in this cellar."

"How can this be."

Cao Mao said, "Don't let your mind wander all day long."

"The possibility you're describing could indeed exist."

Lin Luo overlooked another possibility: the owner of the diary might have hidden it in their own cellar and forgotten to bring it with them; perhaps the diary was left behind on purpose.

Cao Shengnan snorted, "Uncle, you're always targeting me. Even my idol says I'm right."

"Look how smug you are."

Cao Mao said disdainfully.

"Shall we look for the cellar?"

"Yue asked."

"Let's look for them. We know very little about monsters. The people in the village know the most about them. If I could find out about them, it would be a great help to us."

Lin Luo replied.

"Let's all look for the entrance together. It must be hard to find."

Following Lin Luo's orders, everyone began searching for the cellar entrance.

......

cellar.

Dim lights.

Zou Cuicui said, "Uncle Zou Miao, I'm so hungry."

Zou Miao took out a packet of instant noodles and handed it to his niece.

There were five people in the cellar, all of whom were relatives of Zou Miao.

After noticing his parents' unusual behavior, Zou Miao immediately moved here.

Some people organized a team to build a cellar beneath the village.

Zou Miao agreed, noting that there were too many monsters that could easily blend into the crowd, posing a significant safety hazard.

After a few meetings, Zou Miao sensed something was wrong.

He discovered that several leaders were likely possessed by monsters.

After the final meeting, everyone was to enter a cellar.

The cellar contained a toilet and a bath, living quarters, good ventilation, and a place to store food.

It was easy for everyone to leave; food could be found anytime.

The cellar, in the leader's description, was like an ideal kingdom.

Zou Miao felt that everything was too perfect, which made it seem abnormal.

He took a few relatives and hid in his cellar.

Zou Miao was cautious and did not take the diary with him, deliberately leaving it outside.

The monster will surely know about his sudden disappearance.

The monster has developed intelligence and is likely reading the diary.

To prevent the monster from searching for the underground cellar, Zou Miao deliberately wrote vague and unclear clues.

He did everything very carefully to avoid being found by the monster.

Zou Miao divided a packet of instant noodles into five portions and served some to each person.

The five of them quickly finished the instant noodles; they were all skin and bones from hunger.

Zou Miao sighed, "We're running out of food. If we really do run out, we'll have to go out and see if we can find any."

Zou Cuicui said to herself, "Uncle, I'm not hungry. If you go out to find food now, you might not come back."

"There is no way."

Zou Miao shook his head and said, "If I hadn't gone out to find food back then, everyone would have starved to death. Rather than everyone starving to death, it would have been better for me to go out and search, so that everyone would have a chance to survive."

My cousin Zou Heng said, "It's not a good time to go out now. I just heard the ground shaking. There might be a battle going on outside, and it's not appropriate for us to get involved."

My cousin Zou Lili asked, "Do you think outsiders might kill the monsters?"

Cousin Zou Chengbiao shook his head and said, "Impossible. Those monsters are powerful and cunning, as you know. Unlike you and me, who know some of the problems with these monsters and can distinguish them, outsiders will only think of them as normal humans when they come to the village and want to get along with them. Once they get along peacefully, no matter how powerful the weapons the outsiders have, they will die."

Zou Lili sighed and said, "You have a point."

Zou Miao said, "Let's all hang in there. Let's hold on for as long as we can."

Zou Heng comforted them, saying, "Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe things will take a turn for the better."

"Hopefully things will turn around."

Zou Miao sighed.

Sudden.

A loud bang came from above, as if the cellar door had been opened.

Zou Lili's face turned grim as she said, "This isn't a turning point; it's that we're in danger."

Zou Miao said helplessly, "The monster still found its way here."

"Why don't we fight them?"

Zou Hengdao.

"How can we fight them? They're monsters. Fighting them will only make us die faster."

Zou Chengbiao lost his fighting spirit.

"Let's go and talk about surrendering, so we can have a good meal before we die. We've been starving for too long. Even if the monsters don't come later, we'll starve to death here."

Zou Miao has given up hope of living.

In his mind, monsters couldn't even be killed by firearms, so it was better to just lie down and wait.

"Okay, I agree with your approach."

The remaining four people agreed.

The cellar door was opened, and fresh air wafted in from above. Everyone greedily inhaled the fresh air.
