Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Drastic Temperature Drop, Blizzard

In the dead of night, Seraphina Sullivan was jolted from her sleep by an intense, bone-chilling cold.

It felt like she had been plunged into an ice pit!

"HSSS—What’s going on?! Why is it so cold all of a sudden?!" She shot up in bed, her teeth chattering uncontrollably.

The temperature in the room felt like it had dropped twenty degrees in an instant. Her breath turned into a white mist.

Seraphina Sullivan quickly threw on some thick clothes, turned on the light in confusion, and walked to the window to see what was happening outside.

However, when she saw the scene outside her window, she froze solid.

Her pupils contracted in shock.

Outside, the muddy, chaotic world left behind by the torrential rain was gone. In its place was a dead silent, boundless expanse of pure white!

Huge snowflakes poured madly from the pitch-black night sky, and in just a short amount of time, had already blanketed everything under a thick layer of snow.

The outlines of distant buildings grew blurry, and the entire world plunged into an eerie, frozen silence. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

After the downpour and a brief sunny spell, the weather had plunged directly into a deadly, extreme blizzard!

"What... what on earth is happening?!" A strong sense of unease washed over Seraphina as she stared out at the frozen world.

This snow had come too suddenly, too unnaturally, as if it were a harbinger of an even greater disaster.

Seraphina was far from the only one awakened by the bone-chilling cold.

More and more people were waking up in alarm, horrified to find their homes abnormally cold.

What was even more terrifying was that many of the elderly, children, and even some adults with weaker constitutions were falling ill from the sudden, extreme cold. They developed high fevers that wouldn’t break, and some even lapsed into comas!

Although they lived in the north and were used to having heating in the winter, it was nowhere near the time of year for the official city-wide heating to be turned on.

This terrifying and sudden temperature drop was unbearable for residents without the protection of heating. The cold walls and air mercilessly sapped them of their warmth.

"HSSS—This damn weather! How did it get so cold all of a sudden?! We’re gonna freeze to death!" Countless families shivered in the darkness, rummaging through their belongings for any clothing that could offer warmth.

But even that was not enough to ward off the all-pervading chill.

Seraphina’s heart grew heavy as she watched the frost quickly form and thicken on the windowpane.

Clearly, the temperature hadn’t hit its low point yet; it was still dropping, and fast!

She didn’t dare to delay.

She immediately rummaged through the Space of her [Scavenger’s Farm] and pulled out a batch of thermal gear she had previously crafted with special materials using her [Tailor] Profession.

[Heating Vest and Pants]!

The special Effect of this clothing allowed it to continuously emit a gentle warmth, making it a powerful tool for dealing with extreme environments.

She quickly put on one set and immediately tossed another to Sean Chandler.

After they both put on the special thermal clothing, their nearly-frozen bodies quickly warmed up, and they finally recovered from the deadly cold.

"Whew... I’m alive..." Seraphina let out a long breath, but her brow remained furrowed.

"The country just barely managed to solve the downpours and floods by using the ’Child of Weather,’ and now, not even that long after, a new and even more troublesome problem has appeared... Is this apocalyptic era on Azure Star really not going to give anyone a chance to survive?"

"I wonder if the Child of Weather has any Effect on this sudden drop in temperature."

Seraphina didn’t know that the situation in Arkadia, where she lived, was already considered relatively "good."

In many other countries and regions around the world, the problem of torrential rain had yet to be resolved, and floods were still raging.

Now, with the sudden onset of extreme cold, the frigid rainwater froze instantly upon contact with any surface, forming something even more terrifying and deadly: freezing rain!
