Chapter 5, Night Falls

There is nothing more to describe about the subsequent matters

As for the air conditioning, Fang Yu had already tried it long ago

It is impossible for any BOSS to arrange several beds for employees in an office building

I do not know why the elevator still has power, but the air conditioning shows no response at all

Once night falls, he will be unable to accomplish anything, so everything must be done now

Previously, in order to prevent any accidents, Fang Yu only went up to the 10th floor and did not proceed further down, then began searching upwards from the 10th floor

However, not sweating, in a situation where death seems inevitable tonight, Fang Yu can only choose to take the risk

Four boxes of seemingly high-quality tea leaves

Fang Yu glanced around; it was dim, and the sky was darkening, soon this place would be enveloped in night

Fang Yu suddenly thought of something and hurried to the office of a manager on this floor

Move the collected cotton fluff to a tea room on the 23rd floor

However, with these things, Fang Yu is also content

two bags of potato chips and a 2.5L bottle of Fat Boy Happy Water

In order to move these sofas, Fang Yu exerted a great deal of effort

If immediate measures are not taken to ensure warmth for tonight's sleep, Fang Yu may still be doomed to the fate of freezing to death this evening

If I had taken the elevator at that time and it suddenly got stuck, I would probably have frozen to death in this iron coffin

This building has clearly been ransacked, and not just once

During this period, he found a physics holy sword—a crowbar—in a corner of a 18L storage room, which made him even happier

However, Fang Yu still put it away

However, the rooms that could be opened had all been ransacked. When he reached 18L, he only found a lounge chair and a thin fleece blanket in a resting room.

There is no way around it; there is currently a food shortage. It is not just about not knowing the time; even if she knows it has expired, Fang Yu must first take a bite to confirm before saying anything.

In order to survive, one must seize every moment!

Therefore, without sufficient assurance, Fang Yu does not dare to go out at all

Or even Fang Yu was not sure whether this was a beginner's gift package

Begin to take stock of the items you have gathered

Due to the lack of blankets, there is hardly a place in this office building where Fang Yu can warm herself

If it weren't for the fact that the cabinet at that time seemed to have been knocked askew and jammed, Fang Yu almost missed the sight of the mineral water through the gap

Moreover, several rooms encountered were locked, and Fang Yu was completely unable to enter. The lock was also quite sturdy; Fang Yu expended a great deal of effort to kick open one room, only to find nothing inside

Perhaps when the outdoor temperature is normally between minus forty and fifty degrees Celsius, a person can still manage to move about, but once the wind picks up, the wind chill temperature can drop to over minus one hundred degrees Celsius, capable of taking a person's life within just a few seconds

If there is snow, then it is a blizzard. When the wind blows, as long as there is a seam in your clothing, the chill can instantly seep through that seam, penetrating your body and reaching your bones

There is no way to move the far ones, so Fang Yu can only gather the nearby sofas from several layers together

However, this way, Fang Yu will be in a bit of danger at night

However, when Fang Yu went out, she tried the elevator again, and this time it surprisingly did not respond at all, with even the indicator lights no longer displaying

In a break room, Fang Yu found a half-eaten apple in the refrigerator

After obtaining the crowbar, Fang Yu began prying open each one from 18L upwards

Fang Yu exerted considerable effort to gather all the sofa loungers and sofas she had discovered on these several floors into the first floor

This break room has only a small window, which is not large enough to allow for a view, and it is also quite high. The room is very narrow, comparable in size to a bathroom.

Fang Yu felt extremely fortunate for this, glad that she did not go up.

Half a box of instant noodles, and 20 bottles of mineral water remaining from a full box, this is the greatest harvest, found in a private cabinet in the employee lounge on the 28th floor

After leaving the building, with this wealth of knowledge in her mind, Fang Yu became much bolder and began to wander around the building, scavenging.

However, it is indeed a tall order to find a quilt in the office building. In such weather, quilts and thick coats are certainly the first items to be snatched up.

I have found a solution

This fleece blanket is too thin, providing no warmth at all during the night. Therefore, Fang Yu simply used a dagger to cut it into a hood, leaving holes for the eyes and nose while wrapping the rest of the head inside.

Using excess fleece strips, wrap all the exposed and thin areas of the body with cloth strips, securely trapping the internal heat within the clothing, thereby enhancing the insulation effect

In order to save effort, Fang Yu used a dagger to cut open all the sofas, extracting the cotton strips and cotton stuffing. She took what she could in whole and directly cut open the rest to empty them out.

As the remaining time passed, Fang Yu continued to search until reaching the 30th floor. By then, the sky had darkened, and the entire building was nearly engulfed in darkness. It was only at this point that Fang Yu managed to find food that barely filled her bag.

This bottle of milk has also frozen into a brick-like form. Looking at its expiration date, it is 2055. According to the summary, this Ice Age is supposed to occur in 2056. It is uncertain what time it is now, but it is estimated that it has long since expired

However, the surroundings are thick, which may be due to geographical location, or perhaps it is the reason of the load-bearing wall. When Fang Yu was searching, she discovered that this room was inexplicably several times warmer than the outside.

After staying in the room for a while longer, Fang Yu felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to be continuing to drop, and the light outside had already dimmed a bit

Along with the apples, there is also a bottle of milk

With this professional knowledge and tools, Fang Yu felt a significant increase in confidence

However, after all, this building is still too large, and there are too many room areas; it is impossible for everything that happened to be taken away

Fortunately, this office building is constructed with great attention to detail; except for a few specific areas, when the doors and windows are closed, there is essentially no wind in other places

He remembers that in this office, there is a genuine leather armchair.

There is no way; this building is too large. By the time they pried open the back, Fang Yu was somewhat dazed, and the physical exertion was immense

A bag of red sausage and a bag of diced raw beef were found in the refrigerator of the tea room on the 19th floor

Indeed, after entering, Fang Yu used a dagger to cut open the sofa, and the yellow filling was suddenly revealed. A hint of joy finally appeared on Fang Yu's face

However, even with these gains, Fang Yu did not feel the slightest bit of happiness

Relying on her "memory," Fang Yu knew that the isolation from the ground was acceptable, but the things she had built were still absent

Hmm? Sofa

This was found in a drawer of the manager's office of a company named Mingyuan Medical on the 22nd floor

It is fortunate that Fang Yu should not have to fear encountering battles for the time being, which is not a concern.

Fang Yu took a sniff and detected a hint of apple's fragrance, suggesting it was not yet spoiled, so she found a food bag and wrapped it up.

After prying open 30 liters, Fang Yu could only stop.

After that, he no longer dared to waste his energy so casually

Several wooden office desks were moved outside and assembled together in the room, then cotton batting, cotton covers, and cotton backrests were spread over the desks, creating a nest-like structure resembling a bird's nest

After all, the temperature outside is not the same as the indoor temperature; in the icy cold, what is often feared the most is not the snow, but the wind

Clear out all the clutter from the tea table inside

Fang Yu used a dagger to cut open the mineral water bottle, crushed the ice inside with a crowbar, and then chewed and swallowed the ice fragments

Under normal circumstances, in such an environment, if one sweats, it almost accelerates the loss of body temperature

Even one end of the crowbar has been straightened, and the overall steel structure of the crowbar is somewhat bent. One can imagine how much effort Fang Yu must have exerted for this

The clothing on one's body can barely provide protection during the day, and even so, once one steps outside, just a slight breeze can render this attire utterly ineffective.

This apple has been sitting for an unknown duration, but due to the weather, it has long since frozen into a solid block of apple. Only when struck with a crowbar does it break the skin slightly

The other cabinets had already been pried open; it is only because this particular cabinet was knocked askew, giving the impression that it had already been opened, that it was able to be preserved

This item cannot be hidden discreetly; if it exists, it can be seen at a glance. Therefore, it is quite normal for it to be looted.

Indeed, this elevator is unreliable

The entire building, all the lounges, consist mostly of chairs, sofas, and some completely useless recliners

He knows that it is likely to be night soon

However, inevitably, this will make Fang Yu overly cumbersome, and at times, her movements may become somewhat inconvenient

There are also three seemingly high-end cigarettes, which were found in the office of a president of an unknown company on the 24th floor, along with what appears to be a new luxury watch and several unusable bank cards

After all, this temperature is already comparable to that of a freezing layer. If there are enough preservatives in here, then it should not have gone bad yet

Because he did not find even a single quilt or a thick coat

This was found in a private refrigerator in an office area

It must be said that such locked lounges and tea rooms are rare, but there are indeed many things that allowed Fang Yu to greatly experience the joys of a scavenger

Although this poses a challenge to the stomach, without water, one would die of thirst, so one can only manage as best as possible

Use a firm cotton pad on the outside, and try to use cotton wadding on the inside, stacking it up to a height of more than 20 centimeters away from the tabletop

Without relying on the knowledge in her mind, Fang Yu is aware of some common sense; once night falls, it will only become colder here

Moreover, this is still not safe; it is best to bury oneself inside, leaving only a ventilation opening at the top, while sealing the rest with cotton. This is the only way to ensure that one does not fall asleep and die from hypothermia during the night

The beginner's gift package has been received

Therefore, Fang Yu merely searched through each level's rest areas and tea rooms, and found quite a number of good items
