In the ice age apocalypse, I hoarded ten billion worth of supplies

Chapter 13: The Advent of the Ice Age



Zhang Yi emptied the entire Walmart South China Warehouse!

Supplies worth tens of billions of yuan all entered his alien space.

And he still pretended to know nothing and reported it to Walmart's senior management at the first time.

Soon, the news spread throughout the senior management of Walmart's South China region.

A large group of senior executives were shocked and rushed to the scene one after another, and also called the police to handle this matter.

Tom Watson, the general manager of the South China Warehouse, turned as pale as snow when he saw the empty warehouse.

"Oh, my God! How can I explain this to the headquarters?"

In fact, Walmart's headquarters in the United States had already issued an order, requiring them to transfer all the supplies back to the United States in the shortest time.

It was said that this was an instruction from the high-level officials of the United States. The ships they sent were about to arrive at Tianhai Port.

Now, everything was ruined!

On the other hand, Zhang Yi wasn't worried at all that his deeds would be exposed.

After all, it was too incredible that all the supplies worth tens of billions in an entire warehouse disappeared in just two hours.

Even if the police investigated with all their efforts, they couldn't find out the truth in a short time.

Moreover, Walmart was a foreign enterprise after all, not a state-owned enterprise. So there was no need to say much about the intensity of the investigation.

However, he still pretended to be nervous and afraid and cooperated with the police investigation.

After a night of interrogation, Zhang Yi was released and allowed to go back.

The police were also very suspicious about this matter.

Because they investigated the videos inside and outside the warehouse.

Although the internal videos had been turned off, it was impossible to steal millions of cubic meters of supplies without leaving any traces.

However, after checking the videos around the warehouse, they didn't find any traces of vehicles passing by.

In other words, the supplies worth tens of billions either disappeared out of thin air or... it was a trick played by Walmart itself, that is, stealing by those who were supposed to guard.

Judging from logic, obviously the latter was more reasonable.

After all, unless there was a supernatural phenomenon, there was no way to explain how the millions of cubic meters of supplies disappeared without a trace in just two hours.

As for ordinary employees like Zhang Yi, although they also aroused certain suspicions.

But since the logical problem of the disappearance of the supplies couldn't be explained clearly, even if there were problems with the internal employees, that wasn't the main contradiction.

Since Walmart was a foreign enterprise and there was no involvement of the official background of China.

The case was too big, so the efficiency of the police's actions was naturally not that high.

Even because they were worried about causing international influence, they played the game of passing the buck regarding the investigation.

If they wanted to find out the truth, let alone three days, it would be difficult even in three months!

As for Zhang Yi, he was ordered not to leave Tianhai City in the short term.

And he must cooperate with the police and the internal investigation of Walmart Company at any time.

Zhang Yi cooperated very well and was then released and allowed to go back.

After Zhang Yi went home, he took a look outside through the blinds of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Today was December 10th, and there were still two days before the advent of the Ice Age.

In the following time, he just needed to stay at home and not go anywhere, and then he could win the rest of his life easily.

Thinking about the supplies worth tens of billions in his alien space, which included almost everything needed in life, Zhang Yi felt very at ease in his heart.

He went back to the bedroom and lay down. After a busy night and cooperating with the interrogation, he was also a bit tired.

...

Zhang Yi slept until evening. When he turned on the TV, the news was reporting the theft of Walmart's South China Warehouse.

Due to the excessive amount of supplies lost in this theft and the fact that it was too strange, major news stations across the country rushed to report it.

"Such a big warehouse was emptied in just a few hours. It must be someone stealing from within!"

"It must be done by insiders. It's very likely that the senior management of Walmart did it themselves in order to defraud the insurance."

"That's millions of cubic meters of supplies. Even if they were transported by large trucks, it would be impossible to finish transporting them in one night."

Zhang Yi smiled slightly. Before the end of the world came, no one would know the answer to this matter.

In the next two days, Zhang Yi stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.

He knew that there wasn't much time left for this world.

For safety's sake, he wouldn't leave his room without permission.

During this period, the police and the investigators from Walmart's headquarters called him over and asked him some questions again.

Although they also suspected that Zhang Yi's behavior was a bit strange that night.

However, firstly, the investigation time was short, and secondly, there was no conclusive evidence. Although they had suspicions, they couldn't arrest Zhang Yi.

During this period, some acquaintances sent messages to Zhang Yi to inquire about the inside story, but Zhang Yi fooled them all.

Finally, December 12th arrived.

The gamma ray passed by the Blue Star at two o'clock in the morning. It just passed by in an instant, but the impact on this planet was devastating.

Zhang Yi completely sealed the room several hours in advance, and then the fireplace had already started to burn.

Because before long, with the exhaustion of energy, things like air conditioners and heaters would completely fail.

All the ways of heating could only rely on the most primitive means.

At two o'clock, he sat on the sofa in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, holding a bottle of beer in his hand, and stared fixedly at the window.

Suddenly, a white light appeared at the end of the sky. It was midnight, but the earth seemed to become bright as if it were dusk.

However, this light only lasted for a short two seconds and then disappeared.

Most people had already fallen asleep at this time, so they didn't notice this momentary change.

But Zhang Yi, who knew what this meant, felt his back go cold at this time.

He took a big gulp of the beer. The refreshing Budweiser beer brought him a bit of calmness.

Zhang Yi thought about it and threw a few pieces of good firewood into the fireplace.

He reached out and turned on the TV, watching the programs on TV while waiting for the changes in the world.

Just a few minutes later, dense snowflakes began to float in the sky outside.

At first, the snowflakes were only as big as fingernails, but less than two minutes later, they began to turn into heavy snow like goose feathers!

The wind outside the window began to howl, and the snow outside seemed to become terrifying in an instant!

Suddenly, heavy snow filled the sky over the whole city!

This was the power of nature. When it changed, it wouldn't give you any notice.

Zhang Yi began to feel a bit nervous inside.

Although the safe house he built was very perfect, after all, he had experienced the ice apocalypse once, so he couldn't help but be a little worried.

He didn't know whether this safe house, which cost as much as 8 million yuan to build, could completely withstand the coming big drop in temperature!

However, as the flames burned vigorously in the fireplace, the indoor temperature became extremely warm.

It was even a bit hot.

Zhang Yi took a look at the indoor temperature, which had already reached 32.6 degrees Celsius.

Looking outside again, the overwhelming snowflakes had already submerged the whole city.

Zhang Yi felt much more at ease in his heart.

He reduced the amount of charcoal, because it was uncomfortable after all if the temperature in the room was too high.

Zhang Yi wasn't in a hurry to go to sleep. He still wanted to continue observing the following changes.

As for rest, there would be plenty of time in the future. Anyway, he didn't have to go to work.

In less than half an hour, a thick layer of snow had already accumulated on the balcony outside.

Zhang Yi opened his mobile phone to check the news and found that the news about the sudden drop in temperature had already spread all over the Internet.

The Internet was full of complaints. Netizens were shouting that this cold winter had come too early and they hadn't had time to prepare winter clothes.

"What the hell is this weather? It's already minus ten degrees Celsius!"

"I guess the roads will be frozen tomorrow. How can we go to work?"

Some people also expressed their happiness.

"It's snowing so heavily. I don't have to go to work tomorrow, haha!"

Especially some friends from the south were even more excited and posted photos of themselves with the heavy snow.

They said that they had never seen such heavy snow in the south.

Zhang Yi shook his head. This was just the beginning.

In the following days, the heavy snow would last at least three months, and the temperature would get lower and lower.

By then, they wouldn't be in such a good mood to enjoy the snow.
