Now the heavy snowfall there stirred up much discussion online. Some people complained, while others felt fortunate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of them knew that this snowfall and drastic temperature drop were not temporary but would persist and intensify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, this would bring about a disaster that no one could endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zhang Yi lay comfortably on his sofa at home, enjoying the twenty-something degrees Celsius inside his safe house, sipping a chilled Budweiser beer, feeling utterly content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Zhang Yi’s phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked it up and saw that there were a lot of chat group messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His former classmates, hobby groups, and community groups were discussing the unexpected blizzard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night. I had to get up and turn on the heater.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh, my heater is terrible at warming the place. It’s getting colder and colder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder how long this cold weather will last. I haven't even bought my winter clothes yet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was chattering, expressing their feelings in various ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhang Yi could sense that most people weren’t taking the sudden cold snap seriously. Some were even pleasantly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi knew very well that this was only temporary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yawning, he decided not to continue watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He returned to his warm bed, covered himself with a plush velvet quilt, and comfortably closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His bed was incredibly comfortable, an upscale item he had taken from the Walmart warehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the mattress, rumored to be the same model used by a certain female celebrity, worth 3 million yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the snow was falling heavily, and the wind was howling, while inside, the fireplace was blazing warmly, making the temperature pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a cozy environment, Zhang Yi quickly fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Zhang Yi was woken up by his phone ringing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his eyes and saw that it was Fang Yuqing calling him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being woken from a good dream, Zhang Yi was naturally in a foul mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the phone and asked irritably, “Why are you calling me so early?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing was startled by Zhang Yi’s cold tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she quickly said, “Zhang Yi, it’s so cold outside today! Did you stock up on supplies because you knew it would get this cold?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing’s voice trembled as if she was trying hard to endure something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi’s lips curled into a mocking smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, this bitch wouldn't call unless she needed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lazily replied, “I just heard a friend mention it. I didn’t expect it to get this cold.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He threw off his quilt. The room was so warm that he was starting to sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting on his slippers, Zhang Yi walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window, and the familiar scene before him narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy snow had buried the entire city. He could no longer see the streets or the bushes by the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the outlines of the city buildings were faintly visible, with many houses’ ground floors half-buried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the snow was still falling, with no signs of stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the phone, Fang Yuqing continued, “No wonder you stocked up on so much stuff. Zhang Yi, you could have told me about this. Now I’m freezing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi frowned, annoyed that she dared to complain to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hung up the phone and tossed it aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he went to the bathroom for a comfortable hot shower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, he took out a piece of top-grade A5 Wagyu beef from his space. For breakfast, he would have steak with pasta.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While eating breakfast, he turned on the TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold snap had just begun, so there hadn't been any power outages yet, and the TV worked fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if there were outages, Zhang Yi was prepared with various backup power sources, dozens of generators, and a massive gasoline supply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energy wouldn’t be a problem for at least three hundred years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After turning on the TV, Zhang Yi switched to the morning news channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he, as a reborn individual, knew the situation outside, watching the news was still a way to pass the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the news channel, the anchors were wearing thick down jackets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember, TV stations usually have central heating and a priority power supply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the anchors to need down jackets meant the temperature had dropped beyond what central heating could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female anchor, trying to maintain a steady tone, reported, “Last night, a strong cold front hit globally, causing drastic temperature drops everywhere. The average drop ranged from 70 to 100 degrees Celsius.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meteorological departments are investigating the cause of this cold front.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the coming days, please keep warm to avoid frostbite.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Try to stay indoors unless absolutely necessary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The authorities will handle this issue appropriately. Please remain calm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t spread or believe rumors, and refrain from panic buying. This snowstorm will soon pass.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhang Yi scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Ice Age descending, survival depended on oneself. Doing nothing and staying home would only lead to an early death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top right corner of the TV screen showed that the outdoor temperature in Tianhai City had reached minus 65 degrees Celsius!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, the highest temperature was still 15 degrees Celsius, meaning it had dropped by 80 degrees overnight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi shrugged. This temperature drop matched his previous life’s experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, wearing pajamas and sipping wine, eating steak and pasta, he felt no outside cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his 8-million-yuan safe house, with emphasized insulation, ensured almost no heat loss inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Zhang Yi’s phone rang again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, he wanted to see what his previously mocking neighbors were saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he saw a message from Fang Yuqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhang Yi, why did you hang up on me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The snow outside is so heavy, I can’t go out. Didn’t you stock up on a lot of food? Can you lend me some? I’ll pay you back after the snowstorm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow, a cold smile forming on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bitch was smart, knowing that with such heavy snow, food prices would skyrocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwilling to venture out in minus 60 to 70 degrees cold, she wanted Zhang Yi’s supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Yi knew this Ice Age would last long, not pass quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he certainly wouldn’t give Fang Yuqing any food!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, he was deceived by this bitch, giving her much of his food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she betrayed him, causing his death, and even wanted to cook his ribs into soup!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a woman, Zhang Yi now only wanted to toy with her and watch her suffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a playful smile, he messaged Fang Yuqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You should have said earlier; I’ve nearly finished my stock. Look, I just cooked steak for breakfast!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then took a selfie with the steak and red wine, making sure to include himself in pajamas, and sent it to Fang Yuqing.\u003C\u002Fp>",1182,"2026-06-03T02:47:18.755Z","2026-06-03T02:47:23.599Z",1,"novelbin.me","9559a0dbe0aa4eab383646ada3ec550195ad0b0a5d050fc9629190c3124c9938","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-15","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-13",1370,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-cover.jpg"]
