Chapter 315 Cold!

There is no one outside the safe city.

However, few people go out and walk around in the city. Basically, they stay at home and dare not go out.

This snow has been falling for dozens of hours from yesterday to today.

Ice and snow hung on the eaves, and they closed the windows tightly, but the cold seemed to be everywhere, creeping into the room through every crack.

Security City, Building 19, 2nd Floor.

Mr. Wang was trembling and shivering all over.

Before entering the safety city, he brought in half a truckload of supplies. Although half of it was withheld by Captain Tao at the door, the food was more than enough for him to eat alone for several months.

Yesterday, I exchanged food for some charcoal for the fire at a trading market here, but I have been saving on using it.

Although it is said that in the safe city, there will be fights within the patrol team management, they will still happen from time to time.

Because many times some people run out of food and don’t want to go out to look for it anymore, so they just rob it, even if they die, they will be full.

Mr. Wang didn't bring a lot of food to change because he was afraid of being stared at.

Get out and find something to burn, I'm freezing to death."

Suddenly, a man's roar came from downstairs, followed immediately by a shrill cry for mercy.

Bang!

I don't know what the sound was of being hit on the ground and being smashed.

That’s it~

I heard the door open downstairs.

Mr. Wang thought for a while, took two steps toward the window, and saw a figure wearing thick clothes coming out from downstairs. Although the clothes were thick, it looked like they had been cut by something, and the cotton wool was flying.

This figure paused at the door, suddenly turned around and looked at the door of the home he had just walked out of, with extreme hatred in his eyes amidst the flying snowflakes.

His hair was disheveled, there was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, and his resentful eyes made people shudder.

Mr. Wang looked at the woman quietly through the window.

From the second day after he came in, there had been quarrels like this downstairs from time to time. No, it was not a quarrel, but one-sided abuse and beatings.

Mr. Wang doesn’t want to take care of it, and he can’t.

It was his second day in this building and he was not familiar with the situation here, so although he felt very unhappy after seeing and hearing about this incident, he could not do anything for the time being.

A few nights ago, the sound of beatings and scolding downstairs lasted until midnight, which seriously affected his sleep.

"Alas..." Mr. Wang sighed quietly. No matter what time it was, there would always be people beating their wives.

In the wind and snow, the woman slowly turned her head, stood there blankly for a while, and then walked forward along the roadside.

When Mr. Wang saw this woman, he actually walked outside and shook his head. It was not that he had never looked for her outside, but he walked around and came back quickly. Being outdoors for a long time in this kind of weather was a dead end.

So he didn't dare to run out of the safe city, but just searched inside the safe city.

A few days ago, Safety City organized some people to go to the surrounding area to cut down the surrounding woods and use them as fuel. All the plants within a few kilometers of the surrounding area were cut down.

And to the back.

Originally, there were some trees in this safe city, even the street trees, but they were basically chopped down. Now the safe city gate is closed tightly, and no one wants to go out anymore.

And the rules in this safe city are that as long as you go out, you will be charged a certain protection fee when you come in again.

No matter what you pay is food or anything else, you must give a portion to them.

It's been so cold these days that some people go out looking for fuel to burn, and then hand over a large portion of it when they come back.

There are also people who go out and never come back.

Mr. Wang swallowed his saliva and felt that his throat was very dry. His mouth was a little flaky. Mr. Wang remembered that he had not drank water for a long time.

Go to the balcony and want to open the balcony window.

Click, click, click!

The window made a sound that made one's teeth grind.

The window was frozen with ice and was frozen together with the aluminum alloy. Mr. Wang pushed it open with force, only to open a gap of only 6 centimeters.

Huhuhuhu~

Snowflakes kept flying in outside the window, and the snow on the windowsill was very thick.

Snow-white, crystal-clear snowflakes will be very surprising and beautiful if you see them for the first time.

But if you see snowflakes in the cold weather, it will only make people feel despair.

Mr. Wang grabbed a handful of snowflakes in his right hand and put them into a small pot.

Press the snowflakes, then grab a few more and put them in until the small pot is compacted and filled.

Kakaka~

Mr. Wang put the small pot on the ground and closed the window with both hands.

The windows must be closed, not just the windows, but every small gap in the home must be blocked as much as possible to prevent the slightly warm air in the room from being blown away by the outside air.

But even so, no matter how tight the seal is, there will always be gaps in the house.

Mr. Wang carried the small pot and walked to the smallest room in the house. This room faces north and south, and can still get sunlight during the day.

Because the space is small, it is easier to store heat.

Mr. Wang puts all his food in this room, so the room looks a bit crowded.

There was an iron plate in the center of his bed. There was also a small candle on the iron plate, as well as some fine wood chips and some old cotton wool.

Click~

Mr. Wang used flint to burn some cotton wool, and then put a small piece of charcoal inside.

Little blue flames floated up.

Mr. Wang hung the small pot above the small flame.

After doing all this, Mr. Wang wrapped the cold quilt behind him around his body and tried to get as close to the small flame as possible.

Mr. Wang is actually living quite well now. At least he still has some fuel and enough food to last him for three months.

As the flames crackled, the snow on the small pot began to melt.

In the safe city, there are thousands of people.

More than 80% of the people were shivering under the quilt at this time.

Some people have turned into cold corpses, with dazed expressions and purple lips, and then lie in bed waiting for death. Some people are dying of hunger...

This blizzard has brought too much pain to mankind.

This blizzard made people who were hungry, hungry and cold lose all hope of living.

Mr. Wang is waiting for the snow water to slowly melt, and his body feels much warmer.

But a small piece of charcoal could not last that long and was about to go out. Mr. Wang gritted his teeth, lit the small piece of candle, and continued to burn.

As time passed, the temperature of the water in the small pot began to rise slowly. Mr. Wang searched among the food and could not find the noodles he wanted, only bread, but the bread was also frozen like a stone.

Just throw the bread into the pan and wait for it to melt.

After a while, the bread became soft and softened.

Mr. Wang quickly extinguished the candle, put it aside, gently swept the burning ashes from the iron plate out of bed, then spread the blanket on it, and then lay half down on the place where the fire had just occurred.
