The outside world
Countries deployed their armies to cooperate with local governments and social forces to clear the snow and restore energy supplies.
The government also called on anyone with food to share their surplus with those in need, saying the disaster was over.
Some people responded to this call.
Food, especially rice, isn't worth much in a normal society.
Usually, it costs just two or three bucks a pound.
It's no big deal to give away a bit and do a personal favor.
If someone is willing to pay a bit to buy it, that's even better.
At the same time, the government is actively coordinating resources, waiting for the snow to be mostly cleared, and once transportation resumes, they'll start distributing supply packages.
Although it's still difficult now, everything is moving in a positive direction.
Wang Hao's former colleague group chat
[That damn Wang Hao, he won't answer calls or reply to messages, has he replied to any of you?]
[Reply, my ass! We worked together for a year, and now that everyone's in trouble, he's so heartless.]
[Tch! We just wanted to borrow some food, and look at him playing hard to get, putting on airs.]
...
Wang Hao's colleagues were all complaining, even cursing at him.
Ever since the snow stopped, they've been trying to contact Wang Hao.
The snowstorm has stopped, and the government is clearing the snow, soon everyone will be able to go out easily.
Some who live relatively close to Wang Hao can even head over to his place now.
They're all extremely hungry now, some female colleagues are even selling their bodies for food, some are starving to death.
They desperately need food.
However, Wang Hao ignored their desperate pleas.
This made them resent Wang Hao immensely.
You have so much food, and you can't spare me even a bit?
How can you be so heartless, so selfish?
Some are already planning to teach him a lesson afterward.
[How about we tip off the government? The government is actively requisitioning supplies right now! Wang Hao has hoarded so much food, he should hand it over.]
[If we report it, we won't get any of that food either!]
[If we don't report it, do we get any then? Better nobody eats than just Wang Hao eating it all.]
[Or maybe we wait a bit longer, maybe he really didn't see it? Or perhaps his phone is broken? Once the snow is cleared, let's go to his place?]
[Right! Go to his place and demand it! If he doesn't give it, then report it!]
.....
At this point, the colleagues had already formed a united front.
But privately, they were still secretly messaging Wang Hao, desperately begging him.
Some attractive female colleagues even sent Wang Hao sexy photos and videos.
Saying they'd do anything as long as he gave them food.
They really were starving.
Although the snow disaster was over, no one knew how long it would take for society to fully recover.
Besides, most of them were in negative financial situations with little cash on hand.
They couldn't afford the ridiculously high-priced food.
Wang Hao was their only hope.
"Hmm~~"
Wang Hao woke from his sleep, looked at the clock, and it was only half-past three.
Taking the water from the bedside, he drank a few sips and looked at the surveillance wall.
Everything was normal!
Casually, he picked up the tablet and flipped through it a few times.
Everywhere, it was saying the disaster was over, encouraging everyone to hold on.
There were also videos of people clearing snow and the government dispatching supplies.
In short, things looked great.
Wang Hao shook his head and picked up his phone.
Hundreds of missed calls, thousands of unread messages!
"Wow!"
He casually browsed through, and when he saw some photos and videos from female colleagues, he couldn't help but exclaim 'wow'.
One of the female colleagues was pretty innocent-looking and straightforward.
If he hadn't been busy making money like crazy due to a warning and too drained, Wang Hao definitely would have pursued her.
Never expected her to be so bold now.
To be honest, if she were nearby, Wang Hao wouldn't mind giving her some food and solving a physical need.
Unfortunately, she lived far away, coming over wasn't practical, and by the time the mutations began tomorrow, it'd be even harder, maybe she wouldn't make it at all.
"We were never meant to be together!"
Wang Hao sighed long and hard, took a few more glances, and reluctantly turned off the phone screen.
He'd been exhausted like a dog before and didn't think of those things.
Now that he was resting, eating well, and with nothing to do, that desire was getting stronger.
"Hmm....., need to find myself a good woman."
Wang Hao started planning in his mind.
He wasn't any saint or righteous warrior.
Didn't want to save the world, just wanted to live comfortably.
It's the end of the world, if he didn't gather dozens or hundreds of beautiful women, it'd be a waste of all the supplies he'd hoarded.
"Oh? ** is too far to come over, but I don't have to be fixated on her!
Plenty of beautiful women nearby, right?"
Suddenly Wang Hao's eyes lit up, cursing himself for being dumb.
Where did he live?
This was the Blue Sky Villa District!
The people living here were all rich, especially those living in the mountains, all wealthy magnates.
Rich men, their wives rarely wouldn't be great looking, let alone their daughters.
Right!
And those townhouses, heard some were mistresses kept by people before.
Wow!
You can doubt a wealthy man's wife's looks, but never doubt his mistress's.
And these mistresses' skills are often very good.
He even heard there were celebrities living here.
Supply trucks had sent supplies in here before, some arranged by the wealthy themselves, others by the property management.
So every household had some supplies.
With their original reserves, eating sparingly, having survived till now was completely feasible.
They might even last a long time afterward.
However, supplies would eventually run out.
That would be Wang Hao's time to shine.
Maybe someone would be willing even now.
After all, just having food didn't mean good food.
It's not ancient times now.
Having a good meal after a fling, many were willing to do that even before the apocalypse.
After all, they had their needs too.
Moreover!
When Brother Wolf arrives, he can even have Brother Wolf go looting.
Not every house is sturdy like his.
"Hang in there brother, after this period, I guarantee you won't suffer anymore."
Wang Hao comforted his little brother.
Over the years, he'd treated his little brother too poorly.
It was time to let it enjoy.
"Hmm~~"
Wang Hao got up, stretched with a big yawn.
He walked into the bathroom, freshened up briefly, grabbed some food, and sat in front of his computer.
He wasn't planning to sleep anymore.
Planned to stay up until dawn, then watch the mutations.
