303. Chapter 300: Movements Everywhere

Violent snow swirled, enveloping heaven and earth, dyeing all scenery white.

As time passed, this snow not only didn't diminish but showed a trend of intensifying; not only did many national leaders notice, but the public also sensed something was off.

"This snow has been falling for several days already; why hasn't it stopped? Moreover, the temperature is much lower than usual."

"Why is it snowing elsewhere too? It feels a bit strange."

"In previous years, our region would have to wait several more months for heavy snow to arrive, but this year this snow came far too early."

Many people discussed it animatedly; at first, leaders of many countries wanted to conceal it, for if the public learned of the impending disaster, it would surely cause unimaginable panic.

The state had to intervene in online discussions, trying to suppress the buzz, but in this highly developed information age, how could it be completely stopped?

Moreover, it wasn't just one country snowing; nearly every country faced heavy snow, and soon the peoples of all nations became aware of these events.

"What?! The whole world is snowing? That's impossible!"

"Even tropical regions are snowing—what kind of international joke is this?"

"I swear, it's true! I have a relative living in the tropical region."

"This is truly unbelievable—why is the whole world snowing?"

A heavy snow enveloping the globe caused countless people to panic, demanding a clear response from the government; even if the state wanted to suppress it, it couldn't, with countless people demonstrating daily at government offices.

As the situation gradually spiraled out of control, representatives of many countries could only step forward and give a strained explanation.

【\"Don't worry, everyone; this global blizzard is merely a natural phenomenon under normal circumstances. We have made full preparations to deal with it, so please stay calm and remain at home. \"】

All they could do was to delay the matter for now, since they temporarily couldn't think of a better solution.

Upon hearing the officials' numerous explanations and announcements, people in many countries around the world breathed a slight sigh of relief, but only temporarily.

People soon realized that this did not match what the officials had said, for the all-encompassing blizzard showed no sign of stopping.

At first it was merely peaceful snowflakes, but no one knew when they turned into icy blades.

Accompanied by freezing temperatures, countless snowflakes swept up by the wind raged through the whole city, cutting faces like knives.

Not just these one or two cities; nearly every city in almost every country was overrun by endless blizzards.

Everything in sight was white; various buildings were submerged in wind and snow, and the whole world fell into an icy snowscape.

If someone were now looking from space toward Earth's direction, they would see that the originally blue planet was completely covered by this thick blizzard cloud mass!

From afar it appeared as a vast white expanse, like a white celestial body.

No nation could escape; flake after flake transformed into merciless ice blades, ravaging and destroying human cities.

In just a few short days, it caused unimaginable disaster to countless cities worldwide.

In nearly every city, the snow accumulation had already exceeded one meter in depth.

In cities it was still manageable, at least with snowplows running full tilt to clear the snow; but in rural and remote areas, underdeveloped places turned directly into endless snowfields, with nothing else visible beyond the heavy snow.

Everything was buried under the snow.

Especially in the tropical regions!

Many tropical countries had never seen such snow; they normally never even saw a light snowfall, lacking any experience dealing with the double blow of cold fronts and blizzards, and even anti‑snow resources were scarce.

Over ninety percent of cities in tropical nations fell into paralysis!

In these countries there were also many foreign tourists who had been enjoying themselves at scenic spots, but the blizzard came too suddenly.

Despite reports issued by the state's relevant departments, when these tourists finally came to their senses and tried to leave, they found the roads completely sealed off by snow.

Many tourists were directly trapped in the blizzard.

In just a few days, the emergency rescue hotlines of countries worldwide were completely overwhelmed.

This was merely the beginning; as heavy snow spread across the globe, the Earth's temperature plummeted rapidly, like riding a roller coaster.

The Earth's temperature dropped a full eight degrees within just a few days.

This is undoubtedly a horrifying figure.

Accompanied by the cold front and blizzard, unable to withstand the chill, vast swaths of Earth's flora and fauna began dying off in large numbers.

The regions where mass die‑offs began first were many areas in the tropics.

The plants and animals that had long lived in the tropics were accustomed to dry heat and had developed no cold resistance, so they were the first to suffer.

When the blizzard struck, temperatures fell below zero; if it were only a brief day or two it might be tolerable, but several consecutive days of freezing cold killed countless plants.

This heavy snow came so suddenly that almost no animal could react; the tropical rainforest once famed as the most biodiverse place on Earth has become a land of death.

Countless organisms perished, buried beneath thick snow along with animal carcasses and plant remains.

Pure white snowflakes drifted down like the scythe of the Grim Reaper; wherever they passed, all life was extinguished, harvesting life everywhere.

Many tropical plants and animals died, even went extinct; the only ones able to endure this bitter cold were those naturally adapted to extreme cold—polar and high‑latitude organisms.

Faced with all this, the existences of many countries worldwide had no countermeasures whatsoever, since they themselves could barely cope, scrambling frantically—who had the bandwidth to worry about animals and plants?

As the heavens and earth erupted in severe cold, each day brought all kinds of news, all about the disaster zones and the severity of the damage.

Countless national leaders spent each day in emergency meetings, fiercely debating how to respond to all this and how to resist the cold.

In major cities, they were discussing how to allocate the remaining food and fuel.

All nations struggled, each day worrying about securing future food reserves.

The unimaginably terrifying heavy snow fell across the globe, intensifying over time, so that even those located in tropical nations were completely covered by the endless heavy snow.

Faced with the blizzard's ordeal, everyone's life was under serious threat; how to fill one's stomach and how to stay warm became the most pressing problems.

Watching the blizzard continue for days across the world, many sensitive‑feeling people grew anxious, flocking to the streets to rush to supermarkets and shops to buy supplies.

For a time prices skyrocketed, yet even that could not dampen the public's enthusiasm for panic‑buying.

They spent high prices, nearly clearing out all the easily storable daily goods in supermarkets.

After emptying the supermarkets, they still didn't stop, turning to roadside small stores and stalls to purchase.

Countless people frantically hoarded all kinds of goods.

At first, seeing those people hoarding supplies, many thought it unnecessary, even scoffing at it.

It's just a Heavy Snow, what's the big deal?

What era is this, still stockpiling food at home? Could one still starve to death?

Moreover, the government said this Heavy Snow wouldn't last too long.

However, as the Heavy Snow continued to fall, the global Heavy Snow lasted a full week, and with no sign of stopping, everyone began to feel uneasy.

#Latest news! Global snowfall, please prepare sufficient food, everyone! #

#My country's local areas snowfall exceeded ten meters, A'erbeisi shan experienced a super-large scale avalanche, with hundreds of people disappearing in the Heavy Snow#

#Xiaweiyi qundao encountered a once-in-a-thousand-years weather, airports closed, roads under traffic control, please all international travelers remain quiet and await rescue#

#Luoji shanmai snow depth reached a historic high of 9000mm, countless people trapped, relevant departments are conducting full-scale rescue#

One after another news reports, all related to the snow disaster, tugged at countless people's nerves; looking at the surrounding Heavy Snow, everyone's faces turned grim.

"Oh God, this snow disaster is truly unprecedented, never before seen; may the Lord bless those who have perished."

"This damned weather is really too cold; I saw many small animals and birds frozen into ice sculptures on the roadside, hoping it would stop soon."

"For safety's sake, I think I also need to stockpile some food; who knows when this snow will finally stop?" is

But if they go to the store now, it's already too late!

The store shelves are completely empty, nothing left.

At this moment, many people worldwide, except for the top leaders of those countries, have sensed the gravity of the situation.

The remaining many people at this time, although worried, still believe that no matter how great the disaster, it will eventually pass; as long as they endure this period, they will be fine.

Although this disaster has enveloped the entire Earth, it's impossible to completely extinguish all life on Earth.

But the facts prove that this disaster far exceeds anyone's imagination; this global blizzard is simply too terrifying!

Just ten days have passed, and the average snowfall worldwide has already reached several meters in depth, with some areas even reaching up to ten meters!

Under such snowfall, basically no vehicles can move; even snowplows cannot operate normally!

All urban areas, all vehicles, have fallen into complete paralysis!

Highways jammed, airports submerged, railways vanished; everything was buried under the Heavy Snow, swallowed entirely by this massive white beast, leaving the world only this color.

On such a massive scale of snowfall, no matter how many cities clear the snow, it's still useless!

Because their clearing speed is far slower than the snowfall rate, they clear a small patch of ground only to have it buried again in an instant, showing the horror of this snowfall—it's utterly futile.

Faced with the sky-covering blizzard, all cities fell into paralysis; countless people trapped in cities and villages, as if crying to heaven and earth brought no answer.

Countless plants and animals died; when they began dying en masse, many environmentalists urged people to protect the environment and love animals.

As time passed, after seeing this endless white expanse, countless people became dazed.

With such a snow disaster, they can't even protect themselves; whether they can survive is a question, let alone protecting animals!

Everyone realized that this disaster has completely surpassed their imagination!

Almost immediately, they frenziedly rushed out of their homes, starting to loot various supplies and resources in supermarkets and shops!

But now it's too late; supermarkets and shops have closed their doors, and the snow on the streets is already nearly up to their knees.

Seeing this scene, many became anxious; although they might still have some stored food at home, as the Heavy Snow grows and food runs out, the moral bottom line will be completely broken.

At first, people merely tried every means to hoard supplies, but with so many people, supplies were clearly insufficient, and many resorted to fighting over them.

Although their actions were violent, they were still spending money to buy things, retaining a certain rationality.

But as the ensuing blizzard continued, more and more people lacked food, and nearly the entire city went mad!

After all, people are about to starve; what talk of law and morality? In the absence of restraint, everyone

are thugs!

Countless people kicked open supermarkets and shops, wildly sweeping away everything before them; they were like beasts, having lost reason, roaring madly, trying to push aside anyone blocking their path.

Many were shoved to the ground, unable even to get up, being trampled over.

Countless people's pushing and shoving caused unimaginable trampling accidents, plus fights over goods.

The original act of purchasing supplies has completely evolved into Zero-yuan purchase!

Innumerable wails and tragedies are being staged everywhere across the globe!

Faced with these chaotic scenes, countless countries and cities were unprepared; they dispatched guards and security personnel to try to stop all this.

But trying to find the source of chaos in snow several meters deep is extremely difficult; the pure white blizzard buried all corpses!

Even the city's surveillance camera circuits were snapped by the blizzard, or short-circuited, making it impossible to see clearly.

This state of chaos, unfolding worldwide, is like a doomsday disaster blockbuster; at this moment, the evil of human nature is shown to the extreme.

Especially in countries where guns are not banned, this chaos is the most severe!

On the snow-white streets, from time to time one can hear the chaotic gunfire; many people hide at home, shivering, faces filled with fear.

Even at home it's not safe, because one cannot know when those who have lost reason, lacking morality and legal restraint, will break in and seize the food one relies on to survive.

Although there are also robbers who get fought back, seeing that the blizzard shows no sign of stopping, more hungry people are forced to join this ranks, deciding to take risks; for survival they have no choice.

Various countries' relevant departments have dispatched police, wanting to go stop this, but it's too difficult.

Day and night, the nonstop Heavy Snow buried their footprints; hunger had already robbed this gang of thugs of reason, and when facing police members, they showed no restraint, wildly firing guns.

The city streets and alleys reek of gunpowder; countless people lost their lives in the blowing snow, bright red blood staining the pure white snow, forming a stark contrast.

The blizzard crisis is unfolding across the globe!

Only some cities with good order and food reserves have not yet fallen to this state, but they are also gradually beginning to be unable to sustain.

After all, the Heavy Snow drifts, all transportation is cut off; even the wealthiest cities, without transport supply, relying only on their remaining resources, how long can they last?

Faced with this situation, all national governments are helpless; grain reserves sit there, even if city leaders rack their brains, they cannot find more.

In this blizzard, nearly over ninety percent of cities fall into a food crisis within a week; even the core city of Miguo, Huashengdun, cannot escape.

Many civilians took guns to the streets, wanting to conduct Zero-yuan purchase, but fortunately this is indeed the core city of Miguo, where defenses and police strength are strong, suppressing it outright!

But in many other places it was different; with the arrival of Heavy Snow, countless hungry people came before the city hall, shouting that they needed food, needed aid.

"We want to survive! Please give us food, government!"

"Damn government has done nothing; at first they even tried to suppress the news, saying the blizzard would soon pass, but look! You must take responsibility for causing this situation today!"

"Hand over the food quickly; I don't believe you officials have no reserves! Otherwise, we won't leave today."

Countless civilians kept cursing and complaining, showing how great their resentment is.

The government gates remained tightly shut; after all, in such a situation even the city's leaders were helpless, they had no food at all, and could only keep the doors closed.

Many countries had just exchanged rare materials for food with Huaxia a few months ago; now where would they have any food reserves!

Thinking of this, they began to regret their previous actions again; if time could be turned back, they would definitely not have exchanged food for those things, but now saying anything is too late. (End of chapter)
