Doomsday Countdown: 1 Day
Wang Hao finally finished dealing with everything.
At this point, he had only one thousand six hundred yuan left to his name.
He brought back a huge amount of delicious food from outside.
Then he pushed the cart down to the villa's basement and opened a hidden door.
A vault door appeared in front of him. Upon opening it again, he entered his heavily invested safe room, which also served as the villa's main control room.
Inside the room, an entire wall was filled with surveillance screens, providing a full view of the villa's surroundings without any blind spots.
It could even monitor some situations within the villa area.
Bottled water and various foods were stacked to the brim.
He had also specifically sectioned off a bathroom and a kitchen.
The fridge and washing machine were all there.
Next to it, the computer was loaded with a large number of games, e-books, and small movies.
He could stay here for seven or eight years without any problems.
And inside, there was a separate air filtration system and power supply system independent of the villa.
One could say it was extremely safe.
"Doomsday, you better come!"
Wang Hao lay on the soft big bed, watching videos while gnawing on a duck neck, feeling very content.
Tomorrow was the moment to decide life or death.
Most of his WD had already expired, and they had even started calling for debt collection.
Now the money was spent, and all kinds of contracts were signed.
If the doomsday for everyone didn't come, then his personal doomsday would.
He had been tense all the time before.
There were so many things to prepare.
Because he had no idea what kind of doomsday would come.
So he could only be thorough in every way possible.
He didn't have much financial power, nor did he have any backing.
He needed to be careful with his calculations and even had to outsmart the small businessmen.
He was too tired!
Most importantly, he was never sure if the doomsday would actually come.
It was like a big stone pressed on his heart.
Every time he thought of it, it annoyed him greatly.
Now that everything had settled, and he had done everything he could.
The rest was up to fate.
Instead, he relaxed.
The physical exhaustion washed over him like a tide, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Doomsday Countdown: 0!
A blizzard began in the sky.
An extreme cold wave swept across the globe, freezing the world, with temperatures dropping to minus fifty degrees.
Some smart people immediately chose to go out to grab supplies, but due to the heavy snow obstructing visibility, traffic accidents kept occurring.
And most people chose to stay huddled at home.
[Snowing in midsummer? Unbelievable, I don't have to work today, going to sleep]
[Finally don't have to go to school today, hope it snows for a few more days.]
[It's the first time for southerners to see such heavy snow, it's so beautiful.]
...
At first, everyone was happy because they could finally rest properly.
Some even went out to play snowball fights and build snowmen.
But soon, they stopped being happy.
The room temperature kept dropping, and the air conditioner's heat couldn't keep up.
They had to huddle in thick down jackets and wrap themselves in blankets, crying out from the cold.
The young working people couldn't order takeout anymore either.
Besides snacks and fruits, they had no other food at home.
When they realized they needed to go out to buy supplies, the snow had already reached calf height, making it very inconvenient to travel.
Moreover, even if the smart people hadn't taken all the supplies from the supermarkets, the stores had long since closed.
Even if they went, they were unlikely to buy anything.
"Hmm? Hmm!!!"
In the control room, Wang Hao suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight.
He turned to look at the alarm clock by the bed, his face turning pale with shock.
He had slept for a full two days and nights.
He had really been too exhausted during that time.
So, had doomsday arrived?
Wang Hao looked up at the large surveillance screen.
"This..."
His eyes widened, and he rubbed them, thinking he was seeing things.
After adjusting the camera and confirming it was real, he finally let out a big sigh of relief.
Doomsday should have come.
The wind was howling, snow was everywhere, and outside, it was a vast expanse of white.
To know that it was now summer, and he was in the south!
The scene was like something post-apocalyptic, almost impossible to occur.
He opened his phone.
Scanned the news.
The internet was already filled with wails.
Extreme cold weather had suddenly arrived globally, without any warning, and no one was prepared.
It had been two days, and some people's food had already run out.
The extreme cold outside reached minus fifty degrees, and the snow was already waist-deep, with the blizzard still continuing, making travel nearly impossible.
They could only beg for food from residents in the same building.
However, other residents didn't have much food either, and prices skyrocketed.
Now half a pound of rice was going for ten thousand yuan already.
And there seemed to be a trend of prices going even higher.
Food was only one aspect; there was also the terrifying cold.
People didn't even dare to leave their beds; many were even relieving themselves in bed, and the little fairies were going crazy.
On the contrary, those living in the countryside were having a very comfortable time.
The older generation always stored food, especially those who farmed; their homes were never lacking in grain.
Additionally, there were many ways to keep warm in the countryside, with some households stocked with firewood and coal briquettes.
Neighbors were willing to help each other and exchange supplies.
Occasionally, some young people who had gone back to the countryside would post pictures to show off.
Each time they appeared, they would garner a lot of envy.
Various experts shared their opinions.
In any case, there were all sorts of theories.
The only consensus was that this blizzard would soon stop, and everyone need not panic too much.
The more Wang Hao read, the more he felt at ease.
He was stable!
He was thoroughly stable.
Even if this snowstorm ended soon, selling his hoarded supplies would make him rich.
"Oh, right! The hint!"
It took Wang Hao a long time to snap out of the joy of doomsday coming true.
Only then did he remember the hint.
He hurriedly raised his hand.
The hint arrived as expected.
[Fifteen days until mutation, rooftop treasure, don't be a saint]
"This..."
Seeing the hint, Wang Hao fell into deep thought.
Mutation in fifteen days?
Does this mean that the doomsday might not just be this extreme cold weather?
Will there be other mutations happening too?
Thinking about it, it made sense.
The blizzard couldn't go on forever.
That wouldn't fit natural laws.
Once the blizzard ended, society could quickly return to normal.
That couldn't be called doomsday.
My God!
This snowstorm was already terrifying.
What kind of mutation could occur?
Wang Hao felt a chill in his heart.
This time, who knows how many people will die!
As for the rooftop treasure.
The hint suggests that fifteen days later, during the mutation, some treasure might appear on the rooftop?
But with doomsday here, what treasure could be more precious than food?
Even if it's an ancient artifact worth billions, it's nothing to him?
