Back home, Lin Dong threw himself onto the sofa, holding two cans of iced Coke, one for drinking and one for playing around with.
Since it’s the extreme cold apocalypse, he’d better find his down jacket and thick quilts first.
Thump, thump, thump!
Urgent and violent knocking suddenly sounded at the door, followed by Shen Wanyue’s angry shouts from outside.
“You dead delivery guy, you better explain yourself! What did you mean by that just now?
Come out, don’t hide inside and stay silent, I know you’re home!
Get out here!”
Lin Dong’s brows slowly furrowed. Is this endless?
“Lin Dong, you’re a good-for-nothing, trash!
How can there be such a despicable scum like you in society? I’m going to complain to the property management right now, no, I’m going to call the police!
If you don’t get out and apologize, I’ll make sure you can’t live in this community anymore!”
Click!
The door opened.
But it wasn’t Lin Dong who opened it; it was his own door that opened.
Wang Sheng was a man who appeared gentle and refined, wearing glasses, perfectly embodying the intellectual look.
He had opened the door after hearing his wife’s voice.
“What’s wrong, Wan Yue? Why are you knocking on Lin Dong’s door?”
Seeing her husband come out, Shen Wanyue angrily repeated what Lin Dong had said earlier.
“Husband, this dead delivery guy actually flirted with me! I’m going to make sure he can’t stay here!”
Hearing that his wife had been flirted with, Wang Sheng was also furious.
“Damn it, is this kid looking for trouble? Wan Yue, don’t worry, I’ll make him…”
Before he could finish, Lin Dong opened his door.
Wang Sheng angrily looked up, only to meet Lin Dong’s cold, angry gaze, and his anger immediately subsided by more than half.
He was only 1.7 meters tall, but Lin Dong was a tall man, over 1.8 meters. If they were to fight, the outcome would be clear.
Shen Wanyue, however, didn’t know what fear was. She pointed at Lin Dong and cursed, “You stinky lowlife, you explain yourself to me! What did you mean by that just now? Otherwise, I’m not done with you today!”
Lin Dong slowly revealed a cold sneer, taking a step forward without a word.
Feeling the strong, robust masculine aura, Shen Wanyue was startled and involuntarily took a step back, quickly looking to her husband for help.
Wang Sheng’s eyes darted around, then he suddenly smiled.
“Lin Dong, you’re back! You must be tired after a day of work, hmm… that, uh, get some rest early!”
After saying that, he quickly pulled his bewildered wife back into the house and closed the door.
“Coward!” Lin Dong scoffed, no longer pursuing the matter.
Back home, Shen Wanyue glared at her husband.
“Husband, why did you run? Didn’t you see how he was just now? He did something wrong and still dared to be fierce with us. Are you scared?”
Wang Sheng shook his head, saying earnestly, “Wife, you’re wrong. I’m not scared; I’m thinking about our safety.
We are social elites, with a happy and prosperous family. Trash from the bottom of society like Lin Dong, he’s definitely going to be jealous.
If you provoke him too much, what if he goes crazy and retaliates against us?”
Shen Wanyue shivered at his words, feeling a wave of lingering fear: “Then… then what should we do, husband? Let’s call the police and have him arrested!”
“How is that possible?” Wang Sheng smiled wryly, “Ultimately, Lin Dong was just disrespectful, it doesn’t even count as flirting. The police won’t arrest someone for such a small matter.
Doing that would also completely infuriate Lin Dong, which isn’t worth it.
In my opinion, Lin Dong has a timid personality; unless you push him too far, he wouldn’t dare to do anything. Let’s just let the matter rest here.
You must always remember the principle of retreat for the fortunate. We are the fortunate ones; when encountering such scum, it’s better to retreat a step.”
Shen Wanyue looked at him with uncertainty: “Really?”
“Of course it’s real!” Wang Sheng said with a serious face.
In reality, he felt a surge of lingering fear. Fortunately, Lin Dong wasn’t some hooligan, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to beat him.
...
After finding all the thick quilts and cotton padding, Lin Dong went to take a shower, then closed the doors and windows, calmly waiting for the apocalypse to arrive.
At night, a hint of cold wind suddenly swept through the hot air, and goose-feather snow slowly began to fall from the sky.
Then the heavy snow fell wildly as if unleashed. In just half an hour, the temperature plummeted from 38 degrees to 0 degrees, and it was still dropping.
It was 12 o’clock.
“Beep beep!”
“Today’s sign-in reward, options are as follows:”
“1. 10,000 sets of thermal underwear made from special materials (can withstand severe cold down to -100 degrees Celsius)”
“2. Unlimited battery pack (includes batteries for all electronic products on the market)”
“3. 10,000 U disks of 1000TB each (containing all movies and TV shows on Blue Star, including adult films)”
“4. A box of chewing gum that you simply can’t stop eating once you start”
Lin Dong thought for a moment and chose 1.
The temperature was dropping too rapidly; warmth was the most important thing!
Speaking of which, is the system joking? Why is the fourth option so tricky for two consecutive days?
With a thought, a set of black thermal underwear appeared in his hand. He touched it; the fabric was indeed very unique, with the comfort of pure cotton and the softness of cashmere.
After putting it on, Lin Dong’s eyes lit up.
“This thermal underwear not only keeps me warm but can also actively generate heat?”
Even his exposed face and hands and feet no longer felt cold; it was basically similar to the feeling of spring.
With all his basic needs met, Lin Dong sat by the window in peace, watching the heavy snow turn the city into a silver wonderland.
Snow in June. Many “southern little potatoes” happily ran out, curious and amazed by the sudden heavy snow. Some built snowmen, others had snowball fights.
After all, Jiangcheng is a southern city in Dragon Country, and it rarely snows there.
Many people excitedly changed into their down jackets and rushed out to play.
Suddenly.
“Ah!!! What is this???”
A scream came from downstairs.
Lin Dong quickly looked over, and his pupils couldn’t help but constrict.
Under the illumination of the community streetlights, an egg-sized greenish pus-filled bump suddenly grew on a young man’s face.
Not just his face, but his hands, arms, and all exposed skin were covered in these terrifying pus-filled bumps.
People around him quickly scattered, looking at him in horror.
“What is this? Save me! Save me!” The man frantically called for help from those around him, but in less than half a minute, the bumps on his body burst, oozing disgusting pus.
As the pus flowed out, his body stiffened, and he fell to the ground with wide, staring eyes.
“Ah!!! Someone’s dead!!!”
Soon, the terrified people around scattered and fled, everyone stunned by the scene.
But he wasn’t an isolated case. Soon, many people discovered that pus-filled bumps were also growing on their own bodies. In an instant, the community was in complete chaos.
Lin Dong frowned and observed carefully. All the people who had grown these bumps had been playing in the snow earlier. So, the snow was poisonous, and extremely potent.
After contact with the snow, bumps would appear in less than 5 minutes, and once the bumps appeared, death was certain within half a minute!
He just didn’t know if the potent poison in the snow was contagious.
“Hiss~ That’s a bit intense!” Lin Dong couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.
In just that short time, over a dozen bodies had already fallen downstairs in the community, and wails filled the air.
As the wailing grew more intense, lights came on in the entire community as people woke up, ran to their balconies, opened their windows, and pointed outside.
Some short-tempered ones were even yelling curses outside: “Are you crazy? Not sleeping in the middle of the night, what are you yelling about?”
When he clearly saw the bodies on the ground in the community, he too was stunned.
Then after a few minutes, he went crazy.
Because he had just stuck his head out and also touched the snowflakes, and bumps similarly began to grow on his body.
Click!
Lin Dong turned his head and saw that the lights were on in 302 next door. Shen Wanyue, wrapped in a blanket, came to the balcony to check the situation, but just as she was about to open the window, she noticed Lin Dong also on his balcony.
It had to be said, this woman looked quite stunning even without makeup. Her arrogant eyes made one want to gouge them out.
“Hmph! You stinky lowlife~” Shen Wanyue saw Lin Dong staring at her, snorted coldly, turned off the light, and went back inside.
Little did she know, this very action saved her life.
