The sniper felt his skin numb instantly and hurriedly said in panic, "Brother! Brother! If you want to kill me, just kill me! What's the point of torturing me?"

Looking at his frozen wrist, the sniper could only grit his teeth to bear the pain and itching caused by frostbite.

He still wanted to live a long life, and dying from frostbite was not part of his plan. Moreover, he is still single and does not even have a girlfriend. If he died like this, he won't be able to close his eyes, ah!

Yao Ran observed him for a while and then said, "Elder Sister Jia, can you take him to Unit 1903?"

Jia Xiang nodded and pulled the man downstairs. Meanwhile, others chopped five logs into pieces and divided the firewood into seven equal parts. They will each receive one portion.

Carrying firewood back to her apartment, Yao Ran locked the door, entered the space, and put the firewood into the warehouse. Then she took a shower, had an early dinner, and left the space.

After turning on the floor heating and the heaters, she climbed to the bed and covered herself with an electric blanket and two thick quilts. Yao Ran closed her eyes and fell asleep instantly. Early the next morning, she woke up and opened the curtains to check the situation outside. When Yao Ran saw a lot of people gathered outside, she became curious. Before she could figure out what was going on, there was a knock on her door.

"Yao Ran, are you awake?"

When she heard it was Long Yu, she wrapped herself tightly before going to open the door. She looked at him and said, "I just woke up. Do you need something?"

Long Yu replied, "Sima Yun and Quan Yuanwei came to see us just now. They are waiting in unit 2001."

When Yao Ran heard about Sima Yun and Quan Yuanwei's visit, she raised her eyebrows slightly. They rarely come to the 20th floor. She nodded and said, "Wait for me."

With these words, she returned to her bedroom, turned off the heater, and left with Long Yu. Seeing their arrival, Sima Yun and Quan Yuanwei nodded to them.

After Long Yu and Yao Ran sat down, Sima Yun took out a leaflet and said, "When Brother Quan and I went out to look for supplies, we saw soldiers handing out leaflets. You guys might want to read it first."

Long Yu took the leaflet and looked at it. After finishing reading the leaflet, he handed it to Yao Ran, who read it before passing it on to others.

Two minutes later, Shi Xuan put down the leaflet on the low table and said, "This is good news for us. Since the government is going to distribute relief grains, they should have a way to solve the urgent problem of food."

Quan Yuanwei nodded and said, "The government will distribute relief food the day after tomorrow, one kilogram at a time, once a week. The problem is that we can only go to the neighborhood committee with our ID cards to collect the supplies."

After his words fell, everyone fell into silence. Lu Hong and other building managers control the current neighborhood committee. Based on their relationship with Lu Hong, even if they go, they might not get anything.

Previously, floods made it difficult for people to travel and paralyzed the entire city. Currently, the flood waters have frozen, and the temperature is stable at minus 55 degrees Celsius.

Right now, it is different from before, when people couldn't even leave their homes. Despite the cold weather, people can still move around as long as they cover their bodies and wear thick clothes.

Juncheng City is a second-tier city and the largest military base in the country. Before the natural disaster, its population was about sixteen million people. However, typhoons, torrential rains, floods, reservoir branches, poisonous moths, and extreme cold have claimed countless lives.

Even after all this happened, Juncheng City's population should still be around five or six million people. It is indeed not easy for the government to distribute supplies to the people.

"When can we start receiving relief food?" Shi Xuan asked.

Sima Yun replied, "The distribution starts at seven o'clock in the morning and lasts until eight o'clock in the evening."

Long Yu thought for a while and said, "We will go together at six o'clock in the morning in two days."

Others agreed, and then Quan Yuanwei said, "We have other news. The government announced that paper money will be invalid from now on, and new currencies will be introduced in the future. For now, we can only use barter for transactions."

This information is not available to the public at this moment.

Now that it was easier to travel, he decided to see if he could go back to work and make money. Unexpectedly, he met a colleague and got this information from him.

Yao Ran knew about this a long time ago and spent all her money whenever she had the chance. In her previous life, new currencies came out after governments built official bases. Until then, everything will be done through barter.

Quan Yuanwei added, "In addition, the government moved the marketplace to a commercial building and established a trading market there. The trading market has a food area, a clothing area, a medicine area, a fuel area, and a miscellaneous area."

"I heard that we could spend cash there for two days before the paper money became invalid. There are several trading markets around Juncheng City, and the closest one to us is the thirty-story office building, located two kilometers away."

"After the money becomes invalid, the trading market will not be closed. Everyone can bring supplies to the trading market and exchange for the supplies they need. Any supplies will do." "By the way, the government has also released recruitment information. There are thousands of positions available. All kinds of technical talents, researchers, doctors, nurses, teachers, workers, farmers, etc. As long as you have a skill, you can apply for a job."
