To my frozen hometown

Chapter 60 When the place that should be dark lights up, when the place that should be shining becomes dim

"Then what should we do?"

On the street full of wind, the man asked.

He didn't turn his head, but turned his back to Liu Yuan and lowered his head.

But Liu Yuan didn't answer his question, but asked calmly.

"You really don't know anything?"

"We..." The man's voice was very soft, as if it would be blown away in the wind at any moment.

"You have guns, you have a certain degree of force, and you are not too hungry to walk around."

Liu Yuan narrated unhurriedly, watching the man's back.

"You can go hunting some wild animals outside the ruins, which is at least better than rummaging through the garbage in the greenhouse for food. You can sell the excess fur and meat to the greenhouse for oxygen and heating, which will make it more likely for you to survive This blizzard. If you have spare energy, you can also build your own shelters, and there will always be materials you need in the ruins."

"But." The man seemed to want to say something, but he just opened his mouth and didn't speak out.

"But you may die under the mouth of the beast?" Liu Yuan asked lightly.

The man stopped talking, but Liu Yuanyuan retracted his gaze.

"What you have to do now is not to wait for the rescue of the greenhouse, because they will not come to rescue you. If you really want to live, you must show a little courage to live. Avoid the wind and snow in the ruins every day , rummaging through other people’s leftover food, it’s impossible to change anything.”

The noise in the street became louder again, and after saying this, Liu Yuan was ready to leave.

"That." But at this moment, the man suddenly turned around and called out to her.

In the wind and snow, the man spoke to Liu Yuan in an extremely heavy and tired voice.

"Do you have a fire? I want to borrow a fire."

Liuyuan looked sideways at the man, and after a while, took out the lighter that Watson gave her from her pocket.

"After the blizzard, remember to return it to me."

As she spoke, she threw the lighter to the other party.

The man caught the lighter and slowly opened the top cover.

"Snapped."

With a soft sound, in the darkness of this street, he lit a small flame.

The flame trembled in the wind, with a light that seemed to be extinguished at any time, reflecting in the pupils of those who watched it.

"Yeah." Staring at the fire with ecstasy, the man responded to Liu Yuan's words like this.

"I will return it to you with my own hands."

"After the blizzard..."

Facts have proved that people can only see things if they look, otherwise, even if it shines like the sun, people will ignore it.

On the contrary, even a tiny flame can be found in the dark if one pays close attention.

Some things may have always been there, but no one raised their heads to look for them.

······

In the next half month, there didn't seem to be much change. Liu Yuan and the others were still checking the circuit in the city, while the people in the greenhouse were still waiting for the blizzard.

The only thing that has changed is probably the refugees in the ruins.

I don't know when it started, they gathered in the city, collected materials, and built the streets into large-scale simple shelters.

At the same time, they also set up traps on the ice field outside the ruins, and began to hunt wild animals in a planned way.

Some people died under the claws and fangs of the beast, but others survived because of warmth and food.

Gradually, these refugees even started a deal with the greenhouse, exchanging food for oxygen and heaters in the greenhouse, plus some limited firearms and bullets.

This kind of transaction is benign, and the long-term blockade has indeed caused a shortage of food in the greenhouse. Although the amount of supplies that refugees can provide is not large, it is better than nothing.

Refugees, on the other hand, have greatly increased the possibility of surviving in disasters due to rising living conditions and armed levels.

"It's unbelievable." On a ruined building, Liz sighed while looking at the busy refugees in the city with a telescope in her hand.

"Why do they seem to have changed overnight? If this continues, I'm afraid they will form an ice tribe."

Icefield tribes, this is an uncommon concept, they are usually small groups established by forced relocated greenhouse dwellers with the help of nearby greenhouses.

Because the population is too large to be fully absorbed by the greenhouse, it can only live on the ice sheet, and it is a vassal society that sells food, ore and other items to other greenhouses in exchange for living supplies.

The reason why such groups are not common is because it is usually difficult for ordinary refugees to have the unity and discipline required for a stable group.

That's why Liz found it hard to imagine that the refugees in these ruins could organize themselves in such a short period of time to jointly resist the coming snowstorm.

Perhaps we have to admit that in the face of crisis, human beings can always exert their great potential.

"Liuyuan, do you know something?"

Leaning over the window sill, Liz asked Liu Yuan who was standing aside.

"Among those refugees, there may be a very powerful guy." Liu Yuan leaned against a wall, looking down at the city below the building.

"I think so too." Liz put down the binoculars in her hand, stood up and said with a smile.

"Thankfully, my audience won't die so easily."

"Unfortunately though, you probably won't be the only light on that blizzard night, my superstar lady."

Liu Yuan raised his brows and gave Liz a teasing look.

During the nights of the past few days, the houses in the ruins were always lit with fire.

Liz might be able to extinguish the lamps in those greenhouses, but apparently not the flames.

"So what?" Liz shrugged her shoulders and said nonchalantly.

"At that time, the inside of the greenhouse will be completely dark, while the outside of the greenhouse will be shrouded in light. Don't you think this is also a very interesting contrast, haha."

Having said that, Liz couldn't help laughing again.

The corners of her mouth raised exaggeratedly, as if she had already foreseen the scene.

"Sister Liz, what's the matter?" Al stood aside, playing games with Liz's mobile phone.

The relationship between the two is getting better and better these days, so much so that Liz will let her touch things that she couldn't touch otherwise.

"It's nothing." Liu Yuan patted the girl's head gently.

"She just needs to take her medicine again."

"Ah, is Miss Liz sick?"

"Yes, but don't worry, brain problems are not contagious."

"..."

"Liuyuan, I'm angry."

"Well, did I say anything?"

"Show me some respect for your employer, you bastard old woman!"
