Apocalypse: Extreme Cold Descends, Goddess Offers Her Refuge

Back home, Luo Tian was a little tired.

However, he did not rest immediately, but began to think about his preparations over the past month.

The first issue is food.

This is easy to solve. We can order a batch of goods from the night market or hotels to stock up in the next few days.

The perfect opportunity to act will be when the sunspots erupt on the night before the end of the world.

Qinshui City is located near a huge port, where countless goods are imported and exported every day, with containers piled up like mountains.

Besides the dock, there's also a sizable Walmart warehouse. Under the cover of night, we can simply store all their supplies into our spatial storage.

"With supplies from the docks and Walmart, food is not a problem."

Luo Tian nodded.

With supplies secured, the next issue is security.

"I need to think about how to make my house an incredibly sturdy and safe place, so as to avoid the tragedy of my previous life!"

Luo Tian quickly came up with a solution.

His need for a complete renovation of the house cannot be met by ordinary decoration companies.

No problem, there is a well-known security company in Qinshui City that specializes in providing security facilities and building safe houses.

It is said that the safe houses they built were made of special alloy materials, which are so hard that ordinary shells cannot break them, unless they are bombarded by mushroom shells!

Domestic tycoons and celebrities are their regular customers.

Having a safe house is not enough.

Keeping warm is also an important issue.

Because after the extreme cold and apocalypse arrive, the outside temperature will drop sharply to minus seventy degrees Celsius!

The snow was up to ten meters deep.

If there isn't enough heat source to provide warmth inside, people can freeze to death!

Luo Tian's idea was to choose between a fireplace and a heated brick bed.

One originated in distant Europe, while the other is a commonly used heating system in northern China. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, making the choice quite difficult.

"Only children make choices, adults of course want them all!"

Luo Tian slapped his thigh and said.

There's no need to overthink it. He could simply hire a security company to customize a fireplace, retaining its aesthetic appeal while adding the practicality of a heated kang bed.

With just a few modifications, the entire room can be filled with warmth.

The house will definitely be renovated, including strengthening the insulation and heat insulation layers to effectively block the intrusion of cold air!

"Next up is the medication."

Luo Tian raised an eyebrow; this was also an important resource.

He didn't want to find himself in a situation where, despite having ample food and a sturdy shelter, he was sick and had no access to medication.

No one knows how long this extreme cold apocalypse will last, so we must be fully prepared.

You definitely can't buy it from a regular pharmacy.

He needs too many supplies, so he has to go through some special channels.

Just after the apocalypse, Luo Tian obtained access to a black market from others, a black market that had existed before the apocalypse.

With enough money, any amount of medicine can be obtained.

Not only medicines, but also a considerable number of certain weapons that are prohibited from being bought and sold were kept in the shop.

For example, crossbows!

Bows and arrows are legal, but crossbows are illegal!

This is because bows require a lot of practice to use. Most people can't even draw a bow properly, let alone shoot accurately.

But crossbows are different. Theoretically, if you string a crossbow bolt and hand it to a 5-year-old child to fire, the damage caused is the same as if it were used by an adult.

Even large beasts like bears and tigers would be killed by a crossbow!

"Now the problems with medicine and weapons are also solved."

Luo Tian nodded in satisfaction.

The importance of weapons in the apocalypse is self-evident; having only food will only make you someone else's granary.

Hiding in a sturdy shelter without weapons to fight back will only lead to being constantly attacked!

Only by having terrifying weapons in their hands will the survivors carefully consider the consequences before harboring any ill intentions.

In fact, what Luo Tian really wanted to create was the All-Encompassing Equality Device.

This thing is easy to buy abroad, especially in the United States; almost every household has a few for self-defense.

But this stuff is hard to come by in China. Even in the black market that Luo Tian knows about, the boss won't get it for you no matter how much money you offer.

Going abroad directly won't work either. Even in the US, if you want to buy a gun from a shop, the owner won't sell it to you unless you provide a gun license.

However, there is still plenty of time, and there is always a way to get it.

Preparing a bow and crossbow, getting several thousand arrows, and buying two compound bows will also meet your self-defense needs.

As for melee weapons, crowbars and machetes should also be prepared.

"Finally finished, I'm exhausted."

Luo Tian yawned and decided to go take a rest.

It's been a busy day.

...

The next morning, Luo Tian woke up very early.

After washing up.

Luo Tian started looking for high-end hotels to book banquets.

He needs a large quantity, and most small hotels probably can't handle it.

"Hello, this is Hongde Grand Restaurant. How can I help you?"

A sweet female voice rang out.

"I need to order a thousand tables for the banquet, and I need the goods within two days."

Luo Tian made a request.

"You, you're not kidding, are you? A thousand tables?" the woman asked in shock.

A banquet with a thousand tables not only takes a long time to prepare, but also costs millions!

After all, a single table costs several thousand yuan.

They're a five-star restaurant!

"I'm pretty sure you need to start doing this today."

Luo Tian said firmly.

The receptionist wasn't qualified enough, so they eventually had to call the restaurant manager. Luo Tian transferred a deposit of 400,000 yuan on the spot, and they were pleasantly surprised and promised to deliver the goods within two days!

I checked my bank account balance and it was only a little over 800,000 yuan left.

"We're running out of money. We need to figure out how to make more."

Luo Tian sighed.

The money for the banquet was paid from the one million won in the scratch-off lottery.

Now he not only needs to buy medicine and weapons from the black market, but also needs to hire a top security company to build a safe house.

A mere 800,000 is definitely not enough.

Luo Tian took out his phone and downloaded a bunch of loan apps.

By constantly taking advantage of promotional offers, another million yuan appeared in his bank account, and the repayment dates for all loans were set for two months later.

"It's so great to get something for free!"

Luo Tian felt extremely comfortable.

The extreme cold and apocalypse will arrive in a month, and there will never be a day when the money is repaid.

Next, he set his sights on his own house.

Before Luo Tian's parents passed away, they left him this house, located within the second ring road of Qinshui City, which cost more than three million yuan to buy.

But with the continuous rise in housing prices, it is now estimated to have reached six million!

If you mortgage it to the bank, wouldn't you get money?

"Hehe, I can get something for free again."

Luo Tian thought smugly to himself, then grabbed the property certificate and left home immediately.

While in the neighborhood, I ran into my neighbor, a woman wearing black stockings, who looked like she was going to work.

However, as soon as the other person saw him, they blushed and quickened their pace to escape.

Luo Tian didn't care; he had more important things to do right now.

I hailed a taxi on the roadside and headed towards the bank.

The bank staff greeted him very warmly.

Because Luo Tian's house is located in an excellent location and its value has soared in recent years, the bank easily granted him a loan of five million.

If we try our best, we might be able to get a price of six million.

However, Luo Tian didn't want to argue with the bank staff; it was too much of a waste of time.

So he readily signed the papers and received the huge sum of five million.

The money arrived in my account quickly.

At this time,

A commotion suddenly broke out in the bank lobby.

"Shut the fuck up, all of you! Put your hands up!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Then, two gunshots rang out.

"Fuck, what's going on?"

Luo Tian stared wide-eyed, his mind filled with questions.

Someone robbed a bank at gunpoint?

A memory from before the apocalypse suddenly flooded my mind.

There were indeed news reports of bank robberies in my previous life, but the television stations did not report them, and the news on the internet was quickly blocked by the authorities.

He only knew that a bank robbery had occurred in Qinshui City, but he did not know the specific time and location.

Is today the day to start a relationship?

It's still in the bank where he took out the loan!

This is such a damn coincidence!

The vigilance honed during the apocalypse came in handy at this moment.

Luo Tian frowned and, while everyone was still stunned, quickly retreated to the back of the crowd.
