Sitting in the cockpit, looking at the footage from the surveillance camera on the control screen, I was sure that there was nothing but snow around the Doomsday Fortress. The temperature outside had dropped to minus sixty degrees, which was almost extremely low.
The camera on Gu Zhuo's car can withstand the extreme low temperature of more than 70 degrees below zero. Although it is still far from the limit, Gu Zhuo still put all the surveillance cameras back in the car just in case.
He pressed a button on the control console, and all the cameras slowly lowered and were stored in the armored compartment of the fortress.
Gu Zhuo wrapped himself in the Huawei down jacket, which was of a quality that could climb Mount Everest. He put on his goggles and gloves, and carried two thick quilts behind him. He took a deep breath and thought,
I saw the cockpit door slowly opening.
As soon as the car door opened, an extremely cold air flow rushed into the cockpit. The wind seemed to be mixed not with snow, but with a knife. It scratched Gu Zhuo's face fiercely, as if it was about to leave a few bloody marks.
Get out of the car as soon as possible. Don't leave the cold air outside in the cockpit for too long. If the temperature is too low and the electronic equipment in the cockpit freezes, you will lose more than you gain!
Seeing Gu Zhuo getting out of the car, Sam immediately stood up from the driver's seat behind him and kept shouting, as if he wanted to get off with him.
"Sam, stay in the car! I won't freeze to death if you get out!"
Gu Zhuo yelled at Sam, and Sam stopped trying to follow him. Then, he quickly got out of the car with two large quilts on his back. After he got out of the car, the mechanical stairs were quickly closed and the door was quickly closed.
Got up.
The snow had accumulated very deep. When Gu Zhuo stepped on the snow, the snow had already reached his calves. He wore a pair of deerskin boots on his feet. These boots are from Maozi. They are particularly cold-resistant and the soles of his feet are soft.
There is a thick piece of deerskin insulating the place where the ground touches the ground, which greatly prevents the invasion of cold air.
The cold wind mixed with the snow was blowing violently. Although the snow was lighter than the previous few days and no longer covered the entire area like heavy fog, it was still fierce. Gu Zhuo held two large quilts in his arms.
, walked through the snow with difficulty for a while.
He wanted to wrap these two big quilts around the water tank and the fuel tank. The temperature outside was getting lower and lower. Even if he installed heating devices on the water tank and fuel tank, he still had to do something if he was careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years.
Protective measures.
The snow was too thick, the wind was too strong, and the resistance was great. He was carrying a heavy load. It took Gu Zhuo a lot of effort to reach a distance that was obviously very close. If it were someone who usually just sits and never exercises.
Ordinary people, this stretch of road would have been destroyed long ago.
Arriving behind the fortress, Gu Zhuo realized that he was completely sparse: there were piles of snow on both sides of the bottom of the car, and he didn’t bring a shovel. He had no choice but to bite the bullet. Gu Zhuo tightened his gloves and began to manually pile the snow on both sides of the bottom of the car.
dug out of the snow.
After digging out the snow for a while, we finally left a space where Gu Zhuo could barely get in and wrap two quilts around the water tank and the fuel tank.
The goggles were covered with snow particles, and they were blurry. It was so white that nothing could be seen clearly. Gu Zhuo took off the goggles, put them into the pocket of his down jacket, took a breath of hot air, and dove under the car.
Go in.
Drilling down, he saw various pipes protected by layers of steel bars, as well as fuel and water tanks. Gu Zhuo took off the quilt and carefully wrapped them up.
I have to say that the heating device is really powerful. At an ultra-low temperature of minus 60 degrees, these tubes still have the slightest trace of hot air. After Gu Zhuo wrapped both quilts in them and sealed them with tape to make sure they were completely tight.
, he struggled to get out from under the car.
Now he had to hurry back to the fortress, so he stayed outside for a while. After taking off his goggles, his eyelashes and eyebrows were all covered with snow, and he looked like a white-browed Taoist with an immortal air.
Fengfenghuohuo returned to the fortress, and as soon as he stepped into the cockpit, Sam rushed up to him, sticking out his tongue and looking very worried about him.
Touching Sam's head, Gu Zhuo sighed, fortunately he had a dog. Although he did not long to be close to humans, in the past few days in the white ice and snow, Sam had given him a lot of company, which made him feel less
lonely.
After wrapping the water tank and fuel tank with quilts, Gu Zhuo hugged Sam and returned to the living cabin.
He knew the importance of oil and knew that he had to find a gas station. But he stayed at the same place for four or five days in a row.
It's not because he's lazy, it's mainly because he has a lot of considerations of his own.
Before the apocalypse, he had downloaded an extremely detailed offline map, which allowed him to clearly know where the gas stations were nearby. But after the apocalypse, there was no signal, and even the satellite navigation became invalid. He wanted to rely on the map
To find a gas station, you must rely on nearby landmarks.
But the troublesome thing is that the heavy snow that has not stopped for days has completely hidden the landmarks, which makes it more difficult for him to find the gas station.
In addition, the area where his car is currently parked is considered deserted, so he does not know the condition of other people in the city.
There is such heavy snow, there is no signal, and most people have no food reserves. If the people above don't care, it will be difficult for the police to maintain order. If there are brave people, they will definitely come out to rob the supermarket and plunder supplies.
His fortress of doomsday is so conspicuous. Now that it is on the streets, it will undoubtedly become a granary in the eyes of those people. In order to rob his fortress of doomsday, there is no telling what those people will do. In the end of the world, and in extreme environments, it is dangerous.
The most terrifying thing about monsters is the sinister human heart.
Although his doomsday fortress has a strong enough defense mechanism and two air cannons, he never dares to take this risk.
For various reasons, Gu Zhuo decided to stay where he was for a few more days. When he could get some information from the hand-cranked radio, or when he felt the time was right, he would activate the Doomsday Fortress to look for a gas station.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhuo took off his down jacket and deerskin boots, put on home clothes, took out some vegetables from the refrigerator, and made something simple to eat.
You need to eat up these perishable foods first. The less perishable ones will be fine if you keep them longer anyway. Gu Zhuo's cooking skills are really not good. Although he is used to eating by himself, he still regrets it occasionally. He would have learned how to cook if he had known better.
.
After his own meal was ready, Gu Zhuo poured dog food for Sam and added a sausage.
One person and one dog sat together on the sofa. Gu Zhuo also heated up a cup of coffee. The air conditioner hummed in a low voice. Gu Zhuo opened the steel privacy panel in front of the living room window, and a gray snow scene was immediately printed in front of his eyes.
.
He sat back in his seat and turned on the TV. There were many movies and TV shows that he had downloaded long ago, as well as various TV series.
He chose a Captain America version of "Snowpiercer" as his dinner drama.
It was freezing and snowy outside, with a low temperature of minus 60 degrees, and he was alone in the doomsday fortress with one person and one dog, as well as movies and hot meals. Gu Zhuo took a sip of coffee and couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, there was a "mechanic", otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do anything.
If you are not prepared, you may have frozen to death in this weather.
I don’t know what it’s like for Cat-eating Fish and the other people in the “War of Tomorrow” group chat. They may be the same as me now, or they may be having a very bad life. More likely, they have not survived this apocalyptic winter.
..
Forget it, Gu Zhuo shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
At the end of "Snowpiercer", the carriage exploded and the avalanche overturned the entire second half of the carriage. The train slowly stopped in the middle of the snow. An Asian woman and a black child emerged from the carriage, and a pure white polar bear and
They stared at each other. The entire two-hour movie ended here.
Gu Zhuo also drank the last sip of coffee, put away the cup and bowl, and threw it into the dishwasher. He was originally going to play games for a while, but his eyes stopped on the hand-cranked radio beside him.
With the mentality of giving it a try, Gu Zhuo picked up the hand-crank radio again and kept shaking the handle.
At first, there was still only the "sizzling" sound of electricity. After shaking it for a while, the hand-cranked radio suddenly came from the voice of a man talking intermittently.
"Damn it, I actually heard the sound!"
Hearing a voice coming from the hand-cranked radio, Gu Zhuo worked harder and shook the handle while listening carefully to what the voice on the radio said.
The sound was intermittent, mixed with "crack-crack" currents, and Gu Zhuo felt very uncomfortable listening to it. However, he was able to distinguish some sentences from it.
Even with the current mixed in, you can still hear the vicissitudes of the man's voice on the radio:
"Everyone...heavy snow...for several days...be careful...in the next half month...the government is also thinking of ways...please...panic..."
"..."
Gu Zhuo listened for a long time before he understood what he was saying. The whole article was just some common rhetoric used by officials. Let the people not panic and protect themselves at home. The government will find a way, but now is a critical period and cannot be sent out.
Increase the number of troops, etc.
"Grandma, there's just no way to save people!" Gu Zhuo complained in his heart.
At the same time, the radio also announced an even more desperate news, that is, there will be various chaotic celestial phenomena for a long time to come. After the heavy snow, there may be a long-term drought or a long-term flood...
In short, people have to find their own ways to deal with it.
After the bad news was broadcast on the radio, it started repeating again from the beginning. Gu Zhuo knew that there was no point in continuing to listen, so he stopped shaking the rocker.
It has reached this time, and the people above have no reason to hide the situation. In other words, after the heavy snow, they will face more and more difficult tests.
Gu Zhuo secretly clenched his fists:
There was no time to wait, he had to go to the gas station immediately! He didn’t know how many people in the city would listen to the radio. If he waited for more people to hear this news and knew that he had been abandoned by the government, then the situation would only be chaotic.
Adding to the chaos.
It will be even more difficult to ensure the safety of getting off the car, let alone stocking up on petroleum!
