Chapter 98: Going Out
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Xingchen looked up and realized that the snow that was originally floating in the air had suddenly stopped.
The snow on the ground stopped in the middle of the third floor, but it had not completely covered the third floor. Ye Xingchen calculated the time in his heart and realized that it was indeed a full month.
It wasn’t just Lin Sijia, but many other owners who came out to collect snow water for drinking also noticed that the snow had stopped.
After closing the firing port, Ye Xingchen led the two women back into the house. Lin Sijia had just washed a pot of cherries when Ye Xingchen’s phone started to shake crazily.
It was the group chat.
“The snow has stopped!”
“The heavens have mercy! The snow had finally stopped! I can’t live another day in this damn weather!!”
“The snow has stopped. Does this mean that our good days are coming back? Does this mean that our weather is about to return to normal?!”
“What did the officials say? It had been so long and the snow had stopped. Why hadn’t the officials come up with a solution?”
“Ha, what bullsh*t government? They don’t care about us at all. Brother Ye is still the best. We should still follow Brother Ye. If we follow Brother Ye, we can still eat.”
“The snow has stopped. Does that mean we can ail go out? We can go out and look for supplies?”
“Will the officials send people to clear the snow?”
“Yeah, how can we go out in such thick snow? What if we get stuck in it and can’t get out?”
“I want to go out to look for supplies. Does anyone want to come with me?” “When are you going out? 1’11 come with you!”
Ye Xingchen ate the cherries while reading the messages in the group with relish. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
Now that the snow had stopped, the people from all the districts must have come out. They wanted to take advantage of the snow stopping to grab more supplies.
In other words, it meant that the outside world was definitely in chaos.
Ye Xingchen raised his eyebrows. He couldn’t wait to send a drone out to broadcast the chaos outside in real-time.
It must have been a mess outside. He didn’t know how they were going to dig up the snow that was already three stories high without any tools.
After all, they didn’t have anything as good as an excavator.
There were already seven or eight people in the owners’ group who had formed a team and said that they were going out to look for supplies. At this time, Zhao Hao also sent a message.
“Little Ye, are you going out to look for supplies too? It seems that many of them had gone out.”
“Now that the snow has stopped, it feels much safer to go out now than before.”
Zhao Hao was also restless. He had long wanted to go out and look for supplies, but the snow from before was too strange. He was afraid that he would not be able to return once he went out.
“I won’t go out. Brother Zhao, if you go out, you have to pay more attention to your safety.”
Ye Xingchen wanted to stop Zhao Hao from going out. After all, he had plenty of resources. It would not be a problem for him to support Zhao Hao for several lifetimes.
However, he thought about it again. Zhao Hao was in high spirits. If he rashly stopped him, he would probably dampen his spirits. In that case, he might as well let him try.
At most, he would prepare some weapons for him.
“Brother Zhao, are you free? If it’s convenient, can you come over? 1 have something to give you.”
Ye Xingchen thought for a moment and took out a stab-proof suit and two breastplate armor from his space.
He had bought the stab-resistant suit when he was stockpiling supplies previously, not the ones he had plundered from the Public Security Bureau. After all, Zhao Hao had been a soldier before. If he were to rashly take out the items from the Public Security Bureau and give them to him, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
Ye Xingchen had several bulletproof vests, but he couldn’t give them to Zhao Hao directly. He might as well give Zhao Hao two pieces of breastplate armor and let him wear them on his chest and back.
After all, it was convenient to buy the breastplate armor outside, but the bulletproof vest was not easy to find. Without some connections, he might not be able to get a good one.
After Ye Xingchen put the things into the bag, he found a pair of goggles and put them in before placing them at the door.
“I left the things at the door. Brother Zhao, take them before you go out. You must be more careful when you go out.”
The snow had just stopped. Ye Xingchen did not plan to go out for the next two days. He did not want to get involved in this mess. After all, he still cherished his life very much.
However, if he didn’t go out, he wouldn’t be able to see what was going on from afar. At this time, there weren’t many people outside. If he rashly released a drone, it would seem to be too eye-catching. Ye Xingchen suddenly became distressed.
He couldn’t possibly live in isolation for the next two days, right?
If he just relied on the sporadic chat in the group, he felt that he could not piece together much useful information!
Ye Xingchen scratched his head and thought for a moment before sending another message to Zhao Hao.
“Although I won’t go out, I’m still quite curious about what the outside world looks like after the snow stopped. Brother Zhao, if it’s convenient for you, can you take photos and videos for me to see when you go out?”
On the other side, Zhao Hao had already been nagged by Li Anran for a long time. Li Anran was afraid that her family would suffer a loss. She was afraid that Zhao Hao would not be able to get a big bargain if he left late.
“Aiya, Brother Zhao, hurry up. I’ll put on your socks for you.”
Zhao Hao was about to reply to Ye Xingchen with his phone when Li Anran put his shoes on his feet and pushed him out of the door.
“Go and come back quickly. Come back early!”
“Slow down. Why are you in such a hurry?”
Zhao Hao staggered. Hearing Ye Xingchen’s words, he first went to Ye Xingchen’s house.
The bag on the ground was grayish-white, almost blending into the snow. Zhao Hao picked up the bag and opened it to take a look.
He reached out and flipped through it a few times. Zhao Hao, who had been a soldier, immediately recognized that the clothes inside were stab-resistant. He flipped through it again and saw that there were even two pieces of breastplate armor inside.
“Little Ye, thank you so much. I’ll definitely take photos when I go out!”
Zhao Hao didn’t have the time to change at home. He took off his coat and put on the stab-proof suit that Ye Xingchen gave him while trembling. He also hung the two breastplate armor on his body.
Zhao Hao put on his coat, stuffed the bag into his pocket, and put on his goggles. He was instantly safer than those other people who went out.
Not many people went out. There were also many timid people who chose to stay at home and watch for a while. After all, they were afraid that the snow would start again.
Zhao Hao was very familiar with the surroundings. He carefully stepped on the footprints left by the predecessors and walked out.
There was a supermarket not far away, and it was quite a large supermarket. Usually, Zhao Hao would go to buy some discounted cooked food and braised food at eight or nine o’clock in the evening.
Zhao Hao walked over slowly, but before he reached the supermarket, he heard human voices..
