The Ice Age has arrived

Zhang Yi emptied the entire warehouse of Walmart South China! Billions worth of goods have all entered his alternate dimension. And he pretended to know nothing and immediately reported to Walmart's top management.

Soon, this news spread throughout the senior management of Walmart South China. A large group of executives, shocked, rushed to the scene and reported the incident to the police.

Tom Watson, the general manager of the South China warehouse, saw the empty warehouse and his face turned pale. 'Oh my God! How am I going to explain this to headquarters?'

In fact, Walmart's headquarters in the United States had already issued an order requiring them to transport all the goods back to the country in the shortest possible time. It is said that this is a directive from the senior management in the United States, and the ship they sent is about to arrive at Tianhai Port. Now, everything is a mess!

On the other hand, Zhang Yi is not worried at all about his actions being exposed. After all, within just two hours, billions worth of goods disappeared from the entire warehouse, which is too unbelievable. Even if the police investigate with all their might, they won't be able to find out in a short period of time. Besides, Walmart is a foreign company, not a state-owned enterprise. So, naturally, the investigation will not be too intense.

However, he still pretended to be nervous and scared, cooperating with the police investigation. After a night of interrogation, Zhang Yi was released. The police are also very suspicious about this incident.

Because they investigated the footage inside and outside the warehouse. Although the internal footage was turned off by someone, it is impossible to steal millions of cubic meters of goods without leaving any traces. However, through the examination of the surrounding footage, no traces of any vehicles passing by were found.

In other words, those billions worth of goods either disappeared into thin air or... it was Walmart playing a trick of stealing from themselves. And logically speaking, the latter is more reasonable. After all, unless a supernatural phenomenon occurred, it is impossible to explain how millions of cubic meters of goods disappeared without a trace in just two hours.

As for Zhang Yi and other ordinary employees, they also raised some suspicions. However, since the logic behind the disappearance of the goods cannot be explained, even if there are issues with internal staff, it is not the main contradiction. As Walmart is a foreign company and not associated with any official background in China, the efficiency of the police's actions is naturally not very fast due to the magnitude of the case. They even played a game of passing the buck, fearing international repercussions. It would be difficult to investigate this matter, let alone in three days, perhaps even three months!

In Zhang Yi's case, he was ordered not to leave Tianhai City in the short term and had to cooperate with the police and Walmart's internal investigation at all times. Zhang Yi was very cooperative and was then released.

After returning home, Zhang Yi looked outside through the blinds of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Today is December 10th, and there are only two days left until the coming of the Ice Age. In the time that follows, he just needs to stay at home and not go anywhere, and he can easily win at life.

Thinking about the billions worth of goods in his alternate dimension, which includes almost everything needed in life, Zhang Yi feels very content. He lies down in his bedroom, feeling tired after a busy night and cooperating with the interrogation.

...

Zhang Yi slept until evening, and when he turned on the TV, the news was reporting the theft at Walmart South China warehouse. Due to the significant loss of stolen goods and the bizarre nature of the incident, major news channels across the country were competing to report it.

"A warehouse of that size being emptied in just a few hours, it must be an inside job!"

"It must have been done by someone from within, most likely the Walmart executives themselves, to deceive the insurance."

"That's millions of cubic meters of goods, even with large trucks, it would be impossible to transport them all in one night."

Zhang Yi smiled faintly. This matter will remain unknown until the apocalypse arrives. In the next two days, Zhang Yi stays at home and doesn't go anywhere. He knows that there is not much time left for this world.

For safety reasons, he wouldn't leave his room without permission. During this time, the police and investigators from Walmart headquarters called him in for questioning. Although they had suspicions about Zhang Yi's behavior that night, the investigation was short, and there was no concrete evidence. They could suspect him, but they couldn't arrest him.

During this period, some acquaintances messaged him, trying to find out the inside story, but Zhang Yi managed to deceive them. Finally, December 12th arrived.

The gamma rays passed through Blue Star at 2 o'clock in the morning, just in an instant, but the impact on the planet was devastating. Hours before, Zhang Yi had sealed his room completely and started a fire in the fireplace. Soon, with the depletion of energy, air conditioning and heating systems would completely fail. The only way to keep warm would be through the most primitive means.

At 2 o'clock, he sat on the sofa in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, holding a bottle of beer, staring intently outside. Suddenly, a white light appeared at the edge of the sky, even though it was midnight, the earth seemed to brighten like dusk. But this brightness lasted only a short two seconds before fading away.

Most people were already asleep at this time, so they didn't notice the momentary change. But Zhang Yi, who knew what it meant, felt a chill running down his spine. He gulped down the beer, finding solace in the refreshing taste of Budweiser. Zhang Yi casually added some good firewood to the fireplace.

He reached out and turned on the TV, watching the programs while waiting for the world to change. Just a few minutes later, the sky outside started to snow densely. At first, the snowflakes were as small as fingernails, but within two minutes, it turned into heavy snowflakes the size of goose feathers!

The wind outside started to howl, and the snow became terrifying in an instant! The entire city's sky was suddenly filled with endless snowflakes!

This is the power of nature. When it changes, it won't give you any warning. Zhang Yi began to feel a bit nervous. Although the safe house he built was perfect, he had experienced an icy apocalypse before, so he couldn't help but worry. He wondered if this expensive $8 million safe house could withstand the upcoming extreme temperature drop!

But as the flames roared in the fireplace, the indoor temperature became incredibly warm. It was even a bit too hot. Zhang Yi glanced at the indoor temperature, which had reached 32.6°C. Then he looked outside, where the snowflakes had already covered the entire city.

Zhang Yi felt more at ease. He reduced some charcoal since the temperature inside was too high and uncomfortable. Zhang Yi didn't rush to sleep; he wanted to continue observing the upcoming changes. As for resting, he had plenty of time now that he didn't have to go to work.

In less than half an hour, the balcony outside was already covered with a thick layer of snow. Zhang Yi opened his phone and checked the news, finding that the news about the sudden temperature drop had spread throughout the internet. People were complaining about the early arrival of winter, as they hadn't had time to prepare winter clothes.

"This damn weather, why is it already below minus ten degrees!"

"Tomorrow, the roads will probably be frozen. How can we go to work?"

Some people expressed their joy.

"With such heavy snow, we don't have to go to work tomorrow, haha!"

Especially friends from the southern regions were excited, posting photos of themselves with the heavy snow. They mentioned that they had never seen such heavy snow in the south.

Zhang Yi shook his head. This was just the beginning. The heavy snow would continue for at least three months, and the temperature would keep dropping. By then, they wouldn't be in the mood to enjoy the snow.
