Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 4 Organizing Supplies
"My phone doesn't work, and I don't know what time it is?"

Li Mu took a sip of the Liqun in his hand, feeling a little disappointed.

"Although my cell phone is no longer usable, some mechanical watches should still work. I'll go look for them if I get a chance.
I can’t see the exact time now, it’s like I’m blind, I don’t know what to do.”

Cheng Cheng also felt that it was really hard to not know the time. In the past, everyone's life was planned according to the schedule, and they did things at the right time. This sudden change was really hard to adapt to.

"It seems that we can't stay in this high-rise for long. We have to move."

In Li Mu's opinion, although living in a high-rise building does not pose any security problems in the short term, after a long time, the supplies will be consumed and it will be too difficult to find new supplies. Moreover, there are too many people here and there are no protective measures in the rooms, so it is not safe.

"Moving? Where can we move to? It's snowing so heavily outside now. If we stay outside for more than ten minutes, we will be frozen into a popsicle!"

Asao doesn't think now is a good time to move. If he wants to move, he has to wait until the snow stops.

For Li Mu, moving is a must. He needs to collect more plant seeds. Moreover, the weather is getting colder and colder, and there are not many things in the room that can be used to make a fire for heating.

"Let's go to sleep first. We have to sort out the supplies when the sun comes up."

Li Mu still didn't know how many supplies were available at home, which made him feel uneasy. It was necessary to organize and summarize all the available things.

After smoking, the three of them returned to their rooms to rest.

At dawn, in this extreme cold of the end of the world, the blazing sunlight became like an ordinary light in the room, bringing only light to people but no longer the warmth of the past.

The thermometer had stopped working long ago, and all we knew was that the temperature outside was below minus twenty degrees Celsius.

Li Mu walked out of the room and looked at the road in the distance through the balcony. The cars on the road that originally had their roofs exposed were now completely covered by the wind and snow. Everywhere he looked, there was a vast land covered in silver.

"It's so cold outside now. I got up this morning and tried to boil some water, but found that the water had frozen into ice cubes!"

Cheng Cheng and Asao sat next to the iron pot that was already on fire, putting on one cotton coat after another.

Seeing him wrapped up like a dumpling, Li Mu realized how special he was: he was only wearing a thermal underwear and a down jacket, yet he didn't feel that cold at all.

Li Mu thought secretly, my special ability can actually keep me warm.

Li Mu walked a few steps to the fire and sat down. He looked at the ice in the pot that had not yet completely melted. It seemed that the two of them had just woken up.

"I haven't brushed my teeth or washed my face for two days. The oil on my face is almost enough for cooking!"

Ah Sao was joking on the side.

"That's great, no need to apply antifreeze!"

Cheng Cheng couldn't help but joke when he heard Ah Sao's words.

"Stop being so disgusting. The water will boil soon. Wet the towel and wipe it. It won't be good if you keep doing this."

Li Mu couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and he also wanted to wipe his face to clear his mind.

After a while, the water boiled. Li Mu poured out some water and wet a towel. The three of them simply wiped their faces.

The remaining water is used to cook instant noodles.

"Originally, we rushed to buy supplies to avoid having to eat instant noodles all the time, but now I feel very happy to be able to eat instant noodles and drink some hot soup."

While drinking the instant noodle soup in the bowl, Li Mu lamented that plans could not keep up with changes.

"Are you all full? We need to hurry up and count the supplies." Li Mu sipped the last mouthful of noodle soup in the bowl and asked the two with a smile.

The two of them said that it was almost done, and then began to move the supplies to the living room and count them one by one.

After about half an hour, the three of them finally gathered all the supplies together.

After sorting, all their supplies now include:

Five bags of 20kg rice, ten pounds of eggs, two and a half boxes of instant noodles (seven bags have been eaten), twenty cans of canned fruit, thirty pieces of solid alcohol, fifty candles, a box of compressed biscuits, three pounds of bananas, two pounds of apples, a ten-pound watermelon, five pounds of green vegetables, beans, lettuce, and eggplant, thirty pounds of pork, three barrels of cooking oil, and various seasonings.

There are also three strips of bacon, two bags of dried vegetables, and five cans of pickles that I brought back from my hometown.

Five quilts, eight down jackets, thirteen paper books of various kinds, and more than twenty pairs of shoes and socks.

Apart from this, other things are probably of no use, and the final result is that they can only be used to start a fire for heating.

Li Mu looked at the living room full of supplies and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the supplies were not abundant, they could at least support their lives for a period of time.

"The most important thing for us now is to save supplies and try to extend our survival time."

Li Mu said to Cheng Cheng and Asao.

Cheng Cheng and Asao both nodded. They understood how serious the current situation was.

"Then what should we do next? Just stay here?" Asao asked.

Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "It's not advisable to hide here all the time. After all, the supplies will eventually run out. It's not a good idea to wait until the supplies are almost used up before going out to look for them.
After all, other people are not fools. Second-tier cities like Lin'an have a very dense population, and the supplies outside have probably been robbed almost completely. "

“We also need to collect some seeds. Although the weather outside is bad now, we can always find places suitable for farming. Moreover, these materials are non-renewable, so we must have resources for sustainable harvesting.

When the snow stops or gets lighter, we must set out immediately to find a new place to live. This place is really not suitable now, and I already have a goal for the new place to live, so just follow me then."

Li Mu's words made Cheng Cheng and Asao feel a little excited. They suddenly had hope of survival.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. Cheng Ben and I don't know what to do next."

After all, the three of them have been friends for many years, so there is no doubt about the trust between them.

"You usually have a lot of ideas and know how to survive in this situation. From now on, Ah Sao and I will listen to you!"

After saying this, Cheng Cheng walked forward and hooked his arms around Li Mu’s shoulders.

At this moment, Li Mu felt that he was completely trusted.

This feeling is really good!
As long as the three of them work together, coupled with their own special abilities, they will be able to survive in this cruel doomsday.

Moreover, they may not be unable to contact their families in the future. Their hometowns are all in Sishui County, a small county town, and their homes are not far from each other.

Their cell phones are broken, but the government must have other means of contact, such as satellite phones. By contacting the government in the future and exchanging certain resources, it may be possible to borrow the government's satellite phone.

In this apocalyptic environment, food is much more important than a phone that can only be used for communication!
