Apocalypse: I Can See the Health Bar, Kill Monsters and Drop Treasures Chapter 405

Chapter 405 The mayor froze to death

The temperature outside was much colder than Wang Tao imagined. He looked at his information watch, which showed that it was more than 20 degrees below zero.

“This **** weather…”

After cursing secretly, Wang Tao quickly drove the power armor and walked out with the others.

He first checked his own Qiushui Pavilion villa area. The villa area is very large. Only the nearby villas belong to him, and the rest belongs to others. It happens to be close, so let's take a look first.

Speaking of which, Wang Tao has basically not interacted with these neighbors since he moved here.

After all, he is not at home often and spends most of his time outside, so he has no time to interact with his neighbors. Moreover, this villa area is relatively large, and the villas are relatively sparse. Wang Tao is too lazy to run to other people.

This is Wang Tao's first official meeting with these neighbors.

Although on the surface there are no rich areas or slums in the Changhe Base, in fact there must be some.

Among the survivors that Wang Tao rescued yesterday, some can be regarded as people living in slums. They usually live in shack houses. Such houses, such as brick houses and slow-concrete houses, are strong and it is not unexpected for them to collapse under the weight of heavy snow.

Qiushui Pavilion is a serious wealthy area. The villas here are very sturdy and cannot be crushed by heavy snow.

Of course, just because the house is fine, it doesn't mean that the people inside are fine. The temperature is so low now. If there is no firewood for heating inside, people may freeze to death. Moreover, ordinary cars cannot drive outside, and there is no way to replenish food. If a house happens to be out of food, it may be life-threatening.

Wang Tao took everyone around the Qiushuige Villa area.

Then he had to sigh, this is indeed a wealthy area. Their lives may not be as good as before the snow, but at least they have food, drink and fire, and their lives are not in danger. Much better than those poor people or common people.

However, their mental state is not very good, and they are all wilting.

After all, they are now sealed at home. Except for those with super powers, ordinary people dare not go out at all. It was okay for a short time, but if the heavy snow continued for a long time, their supplies would not be enough.

Wang Tao's arrival made them very excited. Although Wang Tao said that he was not delivering supplies, but just came to see if they were still alive, this at least proved that they had not been forgotten. Because they can't contact anyone else.

Only then did Wang Tao know that the line in his villa was a dedicated line buried underground, which was not the same line as the one in Qiu Shui Pavilion. The line in Qiu Shui Pavilion was on a telegraph pole on the ground... When it snowed heavily last night, Qiu Shui Pavilion's line was not the same. There was a problem with their line, preventing them from contacting the outside world. They couldn't get out, so they were so excited when they saw Wang Tao.

After figuring out the whole story, Wang Tao wanted to help them repair the line, but this thing couldn't be repaired in a short time because Wang Tao didn't know where it was broken.

So Wang Tao comforted these people and told them to come to his villa to find him if anything happened.

Although those people can't travel far, these villas are not far from each other, so if they wear thicker clothes, it's still no problem.

After confirming that these people were only in a bad mental state and were not dead or injured, Wang Tao left Qiushui Pavilion this time. Then he followed the route planned by Care Cloud for him and started checking from house to house.

Until night, when he couldn't see his fingers outside, Wang Tao finally took a look at everything in the area.

Overall, it was okay. No one froze to death. At most, there was some coldness and hunger. Wang Tao sent some people to the homes of others to keep them company so they could keep each other warm.

As for food, there is no need to worry about it for the time being. Wang Tao still has a lot of cockroach ointment in his hand. Neither he nor Ding Yuqin eat this stuff, and it is of no use keeping it at home, so he gave it to these people.

The survivors were naturally grateful to Wang Tao. As long as they had food, they could persist for a long time.

“Thank you very much, Mr. Wang! You have helped us a lot!”

Gu Yun also thanked Wang Tao in various ways on the phone.

If Wang Tao had not provided food for these survivors and gathered them together as much as possible, there would definitely be new casualties after tonight.

“What's the situation over there?”

Wang Tao asked.

Gu Yun suddenly sighed.

“Hey...there are a lot of casualties this time! So far, the number of deaths caused by the snow disaster has exceeded 100! The exact number is still being counted. I estimate that this number may double..."

Hearing Gu Yun's words, Wang Tao also fell silent for a moment.

If it were in the wild, not to mention one or two hundred people would die, even if one or two thousand people died, Wang Tao would not be surprised. After all, it is very dangerous outside.

But now this is not in the wild, this is in a base where everyone feels very safe! And they were not killed by zombie monsters, but were affected by the snow disaster!

You know, this heavy snow has only fallen for three days, and so many people have died... Experts from the institute estimate that this heavy snow will last for at least half a month, and will most likely last for a month. According to the current situation, if it continues for half a month, I don't know how many people will die from this...

However, Wang Tao cannot change this kind of natural disaster. He can only say to save as many people as possible...

“Oh, by the way, Mr. Wang, can you give me the iron beetle I ordered before? With that thing, our rescue work may be much faster...”

Gu Yun asked quickly.

“Okay. I'll send it to you.”

Wang Tao hasn't gone back yet. He asked others to go back first. He went to the city hall alone.

“Thank you, thank you so much!”

Gu Yun was immediately overjoyed.

By the time Wang Tao arrived at the city hall in his powered armor, Gu Yun was already waiting outside.

The heavy snow has not stopped at this time, but there is not much snow in front of the city hall because it has been being cleared.

Wang Tao saw that Gu Yun, who was wearing thick clothes, was waiting at the door. He looked a little miserable. It seemed that he had been on the front line of disaster relief. But since he is a superpower, there is no problem in going to the front line.

Because it was dark, Gu Yun couldn't see Wang Tao clearly. It wasn't until Wang Tao got closer that he saw the light blue light coming quickly in the dark night.

“Mr. Wang! Come in quickly!”

After Wang Tao met the other party, Gu Yunmian hurriedly asked Wang Tao to come in.

As soon as you enter, you can see a lot of wounded lying in the hall. Basically, they are either bruised or frostbitten. There are people taking care of you.

“There is no room nearby, so we have no choice but to bring these wounded people to us.”

Gu Yun explained helplessly, and then took Wang Tao to the living room on the second floor.

Wang Tao didn't waste any time and directly took out the fire-resistant iron beetle.

“This iron beetle is different from other iron beetles. It has a fire resistance ability..."

Wang Tao gave a brief introduction.

Under normal circumstances, this fire protection ability is of little use. But if you know this ability, you can formulate some tactics based on this ability, so this ability is still very good.

Gu Yun didn't know this before. Now that he heard it, his face was happy at first, and then a little helpless. If there is one more ability, it means more money is needed to purchase it! Before Wang Tao came, he had already prepared the money and wanted to pay Wang Tao and deliver the goods. Now he had to add money temporarily.

Although Gu Yun did not use his own money, but the money from the city hall, he still felt a little distressed.

Finally, Gu Yun bought the iron beetle for 2.6 million. This is much higher than the price of the first Iron Beetle purchased by the city hall before, which only cost 1 million.

This is not Wang Tao taking advantage of the situation, because according to Care Yun's calculation, it will cost more than 3 million, and Wang Tao is getting a discount.

Wang Tao originally thought that Gu Yun would default on the payment, but he didn't expect that Gu Yun would transfer the money directly in front of Wang Tao.

“Happy to work with!”

Seeing the excited expression on Gu Yun's face, Wang Tao shook hands with him.

“It's a pleasure to cooperate. If there's nothing else, we'll leave first.”

"Okay! Then you go back and have a good rest. We will be here in the evening. We may need your help tomorrow!"

“Okay, just call me if you need anything.”

“No problem—oh, by the way, I still have a lot of protein blocks here. You can take them first. You may need them later…”

"good."

After Wang Tao returned home with a large amount of cockroach ointment, he contacted Cheng Yiyi and asked her if she needed help there.

Cheng Yiyi also said that no need, the situation was temporarily under control, and if she needed anything, she would contact Wang Tao later.

So Wang Tao and the others had a good sleep.

When he woke up the next day, it was still snowing heavily outside. Wang Tao went out to take a look and found that the temperature did not seem to have changed much, and it was still more than 20 degrees below zero.

Just after breakfast, Gu Yun sent a message on time, expressing the hope that Wang Tao could make another trip to see if people in other areas were safe and whether he could send them some protein blocks. Communications in many places are now interrupted, and the city hall doesn't know what the situation is there.

Wang Tao naturally said that there was no problem, but just when he was about to leave, Yao Guodong suddenly contacted Wang Tao.

“Mr. Wang, I have become a superpower!”

Yao Guodong was very excited.

"congratulations!"

Wang Tao had a smile on his face.

“Without Mr. Wang's help, I would never have been able to become a superpower in my life! You are my benefactor! I won't say any more, I will definitely repay you!”

Yao Guodong has not forgotten who made him a superpower. He also said it very straightforwardly that he wanted to repay Wang Tao.

“If you don't want to repay anything in return, Mayor Yao is too polite...”

After Wang Tao said a few more polite words, Yao Guodong said again:

"I have to say that after becoming a superpower, my physical fitness has improved a lot. I am not afraid of the low temperature now and can go out...Mr. Wang, let's not talk about it for now, I have to be busy..."

Since Yao Guodong is awake, he has to personally handle the disaster relief.

He was able to become the mayor because of his actual abilities. Now he has become a superpower. Not to mention his combat ability, at least his physical fitness has improved a lot. In terms of disaster relief, it should be no problem to go to the front line in person.

"good."

After hanging up the call, Wang Tao took everyone out.

According to the map that Liu Yun gave him, he started searching house to house.

However, his luck was not very good this time, and a dead person was found in the first house.

This was an old man in his sixties. From the clues at the scene, Wang Tao felt that the window of this house was blown open by the wind. The old man wanted to close the window, but accidentally fell. He didn't know whether he fainted or was unable to climb. Get up, but I haven't been able to get up anyway. The cold air of 20 to 30 degrees below zero entered the house and froze him to death in a short time...

"Why…"

Lan Yulian sighed.

No matter how powerful her healing ability is, she cannot bring her back to life.

“Let's go.”

Wang Tao shook his head, and then led everyone to the next house.

From the time he left home in the morning, he continued to work until dark. Wang Tao once again completed the task given by Gu Yun. Not only did he search these areas, but he also gathered some of the more difficult survivors into a stronger building and provided them with food, hot water and firewood to ensure their survival for three days.

In fact, in less than three days, people from the legion will come tomorrow to take them to the rescue station.

Wang Tao and his team did not feel tired after working all day long - of course, judging from their physical fitness, they were not tired either.

But everyone is not in a good mood, because they have seen more than ten corpses today, some on the bed, some on the ground, some outside... Without exception, they were all frozen to death.

It was summer when the Changhe Base was built. When it was hot, we might not have expected that such a temperature of more than 20 degrees below zero would occur. The place where the Changhe Base is located seems to have never seen such a low temperature in history... so here Many houses are simply built and are not very good at withstanding the severe cold. Especially if ordinary people have poor physical health, if they catch a cold or something, they may not be able to get up after falling asleep...

However, it is not without good news. Yao Guodong told Wang Tao that after these three days of busy work, the disaster relief work at the city hall was finally on the right track, and the tasks of various departments were also assigned. If something happens again, they can I'll send someone over soon, and I won't be as busy as before.

Although this cannot directly solve the problem, as long as the problem can be discovered in time, it can be considered. After all, the Changhe base is so large and there are so many people. It is not easy for the city hall to achieve this step. Among them, Yao Guodong, who has just become a superpower, has made the greatest contribution. He is still very capable in this area.

Wang Tao and his party returned home, contacted Yao Guodong, and after confirming that there was no problem with him, they all went to rest.

The next morning, Wang Tao was woken up by his information watch.

Under normal circumstances, when people contact him in the morning, they leave messages. Direct phone calls are relatively rare, especially since it is only six o'clock and it is not yet dawn. This is obviously something important.

The caller is Gu Yun.

“Secretary-General Gu, what's wrong?”

“Mr. Wang! Mayor Yao froze to death at night!”
