In the dim sunlight, the sound of heavy breathing echoed in the long alleys.

After the time came to 2013, the ecological environment of Blue Star has become more and more devastation, and most of the people living on Blue Star have fallen into a difficult life. Even if the population plummets by more than half, and the population abroad drops by nearly seventy percent, the remaining materials are still not enough to supply the remaining people.

Faced with his sallow wife who was waiting to be fed at home, Joseph had no choice but to leave home and walk on foot in the ruined city, hoping to find some supplies to support his family.

Beneath the heavy clothes, which wrapped Joseph's almost dry body, he walked less than a kilometer before he put his hands on his knees, bent over, and gasped for air.

In the city, most of the first-story houses have long been covered with thick snow, which makes it even more difficult for Joseph, who is already not physically strong, to walk.

Coupled with the heavy snow that kept falling in the sky, Joseph wasted a lot of energy to get to the original supermarket position.

After walking around the supermarket room, Joseph finally found a half-open window, pulled the window open hard, Joseph first lifted his right leg and tried to put it on the window, and then, with the force of his left leg, his body rolled into the window.

This is the second floor of the supermarket, and in the past, it used to sell clothes and shoes, but now, most of them have been looted. The rest, scattered on the ground.

Joseph lay on the ground, stubbling, turned his head, resting and gathering strength, while looking around the entire second floor, hoping to find some leftover food.

In the dimly lit room, the cold couldn't stop burrowing into his clothes.

In my ears, faintly, there was a strange sound echoing. It's just that Joseph at this time was only focused on food, and he didn't care about the temptation of the gods at all.

I struggled to get up, touched my body with my right hand, and finally, touched the portable flashlight on my chest. On the handle, a rope was passed through and hung around his neck, and only then could he leave his hands free and keep to collect supplies.

Thick gloves were put on his hands, and it took a long time for Joseph to turn on the flashlight, and the bright light instantly illuminated the scene in front of him. Joseph suddenly felt the urge to cry.

After going around the second floor, Joseph finally found a backpack in a store and went downstairs to the first floor. Although the first floor has long been buried by snow, after all, there are windows blocking it, and there is still a lot of space in the house, not to mention, in the supermarket, generally the first floor, there are all kinds of food racks, which are easier to collect.

However, when Joseph went down to the first floor, all the shelves were already empty. At the beginning, the end came, the sun's rays faded little by little, and in the panic, the supermarket had already been looted by panicked people, and now, he just hoped that there would be a little leftover food in an inconspicuous corner.

After a few rounds, Joseph found a few bags of scattered snacks under several shelves and stuffed them into his backpack.

Suddenly, a strange smell entered Joseph's nose. A flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed his backpack and strode towards the second floor. Here, how can there be weirdness?

In the darkness, the flickering lights reflected Joseph's frightened face.

Running back to the window when he came in, Joseph didn't even know that his skinny body could burst out with such a huge amount of energy, and he jumped out of the window with just a slight leap.

Coming out of the window, Joseph didn't dare to stop at all, strode in the direction of home, and galloped away.

Finally, the smell was gone. Joseph breathed rapidly, leaned against the wall next to him, and slowly sat down on the snow, his face pale.

After resting for a long time, Joseph finally came to his senses, stood up hard, holding the package in his left hand and the wall with his right hand, step by step, ready to go home.

As soon as he had taken a few steps, Joseph suddenly felt that his right hand was light, and it turned out to be an unclosed window.

Lifting the flashlight, it slowly shone through, and in the window, it turned out to be a kitchen-like room. A hint of surprise flashed in Joseph's eyes, he put down the backpack in his left hand, sat down with his ass, tentatively deep his feet, and soon, entered the room.

I searched inside, and found some meat and vegetables in the refrigerator, which had long been out of power. It's just that even if the refrigerator has long been out of power, these things are still frozen.

Joseph didn't dislike it, and little by little he moved to the window and put it in his backpack.

Coupled with the snacks I just found in the supermarket, I can have a few days of good life again.

The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, and the temperature has long exceeded Joseph's imagination, he never imagined that on the blue star, close to the equator, it would be so cold.

Carrying a heavy backpack, Joseph slowly returned to his home, one foot shallow and one foot deep, and finally, it was a little warmer.

In the fireplace of the house, the red flame is blazing.

When his wife saw Joseph coming home, she hurriedly greeted him, took the backpack in Joseph's left hand, put it on the table, opened the zipper casually, and her eyes lit up when she saw the contents of the package.

At this moment, the son also wore thick clothes and came up.

Joseph took off his gloves and pinched his son's face, but his face, which was originally fleshy and slippery, had already dried up to the point of losing color.

Joseph felt a pain in his heart, and with a lot of force, he held his son in his arms.

In fact, Joseph's family still has a lot of food, but at this time, even if Joseph is not in crisis for the time being, he still goes out every day to search for supplies.

The wife first took out the meat and hung it in a corner of the house, where there were also several pieces of meat that were frozen hard.

Then, the wife sorted the vegetables one by one, and then took out the snacks and handed them a bag to her son.

The son's eyebrows fluttered, looking very happy, but he didn't make the slightest sound, took the snack, tore it open, picked up a piece, and slowly stuffed it into his mouth. Then, he clutched the mouth of the bag hard, ready to save it for the next time.

Joseph had already taken off the gloves on his hands at this time, poured himself a glass of wine, and took a sip of his stomach, and his body instantly warmed up. With a comfortable groan, Joseph lay on the couch, his eyes lost and remembered the days before the end.

After resting for a while, Joseph took another sip of wine, put down his glass, got up and began to add wood to the fireplace, and then went outside the house, took some of the wood, and piled it in front of the fireplace.

After working for a while, my wife has already cooked a meal.

Joseph let out a sigh of relief, and finally sat down at the dinner table.

During the meal, he took the initiative to tell his wife about the situation in the neighborhood. There was a strange thing in the supermarket, there were no useful supplies, I stumbled upon a kitchen, found meat, or something, and told my wife everything.

As he spoke, Joseph took out a map and marked it on it. At this time, most places on the map, centered on Joseph's home, within a radius of one kilometer, were already painted in red. Red, on the other hand, represents danger.

Looking at the few remaining safe areas on the map, Joseph knew that the safety on the map did not mean that it was really safe, but there were many places that he had not yet explored.

Just looking at the map, Joseph's eyes suddenly darkened, now it's fine, but if it takes a while, how will life live. Nowadays, the temperature is getting lower and lower, the food is getting less and less, if you are still living here, within two months, the family of three will either starve to death or freeze to death.

After eating a few bites of food, the wife put down the knife and fork in her hand, as if she saw Joseph's embarrassment, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and then, secretly, she just stretched out her hand and grabbed Joseph's hand.

Joseph ate a few bites of food, picked up his wine glass, and drank it all, his face instantly flushed with an unnatural flush.

The meal was eaten so quietly.

The son got up and ran to the fireplace, trembling and blazing.

At this time, in front of the fireplace, in addition to the mountain of firewood on the left, is the bed on the right. Yes, in order to sustain his life and cope with the ever-decreasing temperature, Joseph moved his bed to the front of the fireplace.

At night, a family of three huddled into a bed, roasted on a fire, and struggled to survive.

At night, slowly rewarding, Joseph curled up on the couch, studying the map, trying to find out how his family would survive on it. And today, abroad, there are countless families like Joseph. are all trying to live.

And both the city and the suburbs are covered with heavy snow at this time, and it is strange everywhere. If you rush in, you will shed your skin if you don't die. If you are injured at such a time, even if you don't die at that time, you won't live long.

At all times, there are people who can't hold on, either to die or to throw themselves into the arms of the gods.

Can a believer in the old gods live a good life?

The twisted spirit, the twisted body, the believers of the old gods, are all that is left.

If the gods of the old days are indescribable, then the followers of the gods of the old days are nothing more than maggots parasitic on the gods of the old days.

Joseph had also seen believers in the old gods, and he would never throw himself into the arms of the old gods unless he had to.

Of course, before the communication was interrupted, Joseph had heard the name of the angel on the radio, and if possible, he still hoped to return to the arms of God.

Alternatively, Joseph lifted his head buried in the map and looked in a certain direction. Half a month ago, he had heard on the radio that a certain red country had set up an energy shield for each city to maintain the temperature, and if he couldn't return to God's arms, he wanted to take his family into that country to live. But he also knew that it was almost impossible, because he was too far away from that country.

With good intentions, Joseph fantasized for a while, lowered his head again, studied the map of the city, tried to figure out a safe route and get out of here.
