Chapter 1300: Living in the days of natural disaster (28)
After the New Year, people feel that the daytime is warmer than before.
It can be seen that the temperature has indeed risen - from the coldest temperature of minus 30 to 40 degrees, to around minus 20 degrees.
It can be seen that people's ability to adapt is quite strong. In the past, the coldest in the Central Plains area was only minus ten degrees. Now, it is minus twenty degrees during the day and minus thirty or forty degrees at night. People actually feel that they can adapt.
The slight rise in temperature has given people hope.
People who join the snow shoveling team are more motivated than before to shovel snow, transport snow, and clean gutters every day.
Xu Yin's four children shoveled the snow inside and outside the yard, and worked together to dig a deep drainage ditch in the cellar and in front of the main house.
At that time, the melted snow on the roofs and trees will flow out of the yard and into the river along the gutters.
But depending on the thickness of the snow, the river will definitely be full to overflowing.
Not only has it not snowed recently, but the wind has also subsided. When walking on the snow, you can clearly hear the friction between the soles of your shoes and the snow.
It feels like the world is very peaceful, so peaceful that it reminds me of the tranquility before the storm.
All the children in the base went outside to play in the snow. While working, the parents glanced at the children running wantonly in the snow, smiled and chattered:
"I haven't taken him out to play for a long time. Today I'm here to shovel the snow and let him come out to have some fun."
"The same goes for our family. He also said he wanted to go skiing, but he asked his dad to find his old skateboard."
"It's really not that cold lately. Maybe the temperature will return to above freezing soon. Thank God! I miss summer clothes so much."
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I've been wearing this thickened down jacket for two years and haven't taken it off."
"Me too."
"Me too."
"Hahaha--"
Faint laughter came from the direction of the base, but Xu Yin did not dare to be careless.
She activates [Floating Light and Rain] every day, hoping to lower the humidity in the air a little, and then lower it a little further, so as to minimize the floods caused by melting snow.
But this city is not the only one covered in ice and snow.
From south to north, from east to west, the entire northern hemisphere has been wrapped in ice and snow for the past two years.
The deepest snow in the north is said to be as thick as three stories, crushing countless houses and buildings. The damage is much greater than in the Central Plains and the south.
The entire ice and snow world heats up, collapses, and melts at the same time. You can imagine how serious this flood will be.
Xu Yin didn't dare to think about it.
We can only work hard to grow vegetables and grain and stock up on supplies; prepare all kinds of rubber boats, assault boats, life jackets and other rescue supplies stored in the previous small world; inform Secretary Deng of various dangers that may occur in the plot; find out the high temperature,
Watch documentaries on how to save yourself in floods, earthquakes and other dangerous situations with your friends...
In the six months before the high temperatures hit, the four children were practicing every day as if they were participating in a winter camp training session on how to save themselves and how to save others under the premise of safety.
When the rice and wheat matured one after another, the friends already knew how to escape from various dangers and save themselves. They even learned how to drive a kayak in the flood, how to paddle, steer, and how to dock.
, tether.
Xu Dong and Xu Xi were still wondering until they finished studying:
"Why do you need to watch these and learn these? I want to watch the martial arts conference, but I haven't watched it for a long time."
"..."
Xu Xi has a better memory: "Didn't I say that the gods are going to take a test on us? When will the test be taken? Will there be a certificate for the first place?"
"I don't want a certificate, I want a sword!"
Xu Yin: "..."
There is no sword, but there is a self-defense dagger.
She took out four small daggers that she had picked out early in the morning: "Grandpa gave us a parting gift, one for each of us."
"Parting gift? Are the gods leaving us?"
Xu Yin nodded solemnly: "Grandpa is going home, and we will be on our own from now on."
According to Secretary Deng, the last district of Central City will also be opened in a week. Citizens who have not yet moved in should hurry up and register at the base. They will not wait until the expiration date.
In order not to delay the friends in getting their new citizen cards and make life easier in the future, she planned to take the friends to the base when the last district of the Central City was opened, register and move into the Central City.
I don't plan to use the "fairy" excuse anymore.
When Xu Dong and Xu Xi heard that the immortal had left, they hugged the dagger and started to cry.
Ning Jin also showed reluctance, lowering her head and stroking the exquisite dagger sheath, tears rolling in her eyes.
He became sensible earlier than Xu Dong and Xu Xi, and knew that if there were no gods in the past two years, they might have died long ago.
At that time, Yin Yin had a fever, the cellar was soaked with water, and the stairwell could not withstand the low temperature of 30 to 40 degrees below zero no matter how much it was shielded from wind and rain.
The supplies left by the dean will not last so long no matter how frugal they are;
With thin clothes and a quilt that is not very warm, in the freezing cold weather, I might freeze to death on the road before I even reach the base.
But now, the gods are leaving them.
"Yinyin, will the gods come back to see us?"
"He will definitely come to see us, right? He will also miss us, right?"
Xu Yin nodded and shook her head: "He said that no matter where we are, he can see our performance, so we must be brave! Be strong! We are all great children."
"Yeah!" Xu Dong nodded vigorously, "I'm a man! I'm also a martial arts master!"
Ning Jin was still in a low mood and was unhappy. She didn't know what words she heard, but her eyes lit up: "Yin Yin, are you okay? The gods healed you, so they left, right?"
Xu Yin: "..."
Xu Dong and Xu Xi were also surprised to find that Xu Yin was different from the past: "Yin Yin, can you talk a lot now? Has the god really cured you?"
"……right."
"Very good!"
"..."
Just be happy!
The departure of the "god" made the friends sad and lost for a long time.
But at the same time, Xu Yin's "recovery" made them very happy.
The emotional ups and downs are actually very tiring, so they plan to cook hot pot tonight.
Not only tonight, but also tomorrow night and the night after!
I went to Central City, and I didn’t know if I would have the opportunity to cook meat and vegetables in a hot pot.
Eat hot pot at night and pack your luggage during the day.
Each person has a hiking bag that can hold a lot of things, and a large suitcase.
In the box are their clothes for all seasons, and the mountaineering bag is used to carry all kinds of supplies:
There are dried fish, dried shrimps, mushrooms, fungus and other dried goods in the past two years.
We don't have much rice and flour in stock, so I just want to bring them all.
The newly harvested rice and wheat were still packed into sacks and neatly stacked in the bunker warehouse.
If you go to Central City and don’t have enough to eat all day long, find an opportunity to come back and secretly crush some and transport it back.
You can't bring fresh vegetables and fruits, and you won't be able to eat them for a few days if you bring them. So, leave a little fresh for eating, and bake the rest into dried fruits and vegetables. Each person can pack one portion, and the volume is not big.
The rest are eggs, goose eggs, bacon, sausages, fish floss, and milk powder. They have enough to eat for the past few days and still stuff the backpacks of the four of them firmly.
Thanks to the fact that they have been practicing martial arts every day for the past two years. They have been running upstairs and downstairs growing vegetables and grains, and their small bodies have become super strong. Otherwise, they would not be able to carry such a heavy bag.
In fact, Xu Yin secretly transferred part of it into the system warehouse while they were carefully packing it, otherwise it would really be too big to fit in.
