The windows were closed one after another, and the ventilation system started to work.

The light in the room gradually dimmed.

But none of the people in front of the TV left.

The two hosts were still reading their manuscripts.

The only thing that comforts them is that the following news may be considered good news?

At least not too bad.

"Currently, the my country Meteorological Administration has discovered a sheltered area with a diameter of nearly 30 kilometers over San Francisco. In this area, the daily temperature is about [-]°C, and the ultraviolet radiation index is close to the normal level."

"At the same time, meteorological experts also discovered that this area is rapidly expanding, and then we used weather satellites to determine that there are still two similar sheltered areas over the Pacific Ocean..."

"The possibility that these sheltered areas will continue to expand and cover the whole world cannot be ruled out in the future."

"According to experts, once this happens, there is a probability that the climate will return to normal levels in a certain period of time in the future, and there is also a small probability that a new atmospheric structure will be formed. We still hope to live in the sun in the future."

The broadcast was very long. Although most people could not understand the analysis of various meteorological data described in it, everyone could understand the final result.

Even if there are some people who really don't understand, there are people on the scene analyzing:

"That is to say, our future development is like this. First, the shelter area will slowly expand to the whole world, and then most areas will return to normal."

"If we are lucky, a new stable atmospheric structure will form at this stage, as before, we can live normally, and the temperature will not drop any more."

"But if you are unlucky, the atmospheric changes will become more and more severe, the sunlight will become less and less, and then the temperature of the earth will become lower and lower."

Just these two endings.

Holding the child in his arms, Zhou Tao held his wife's hand, stood on tiptoe in the crowd, and listened to the on-site analysis of the building manager.

"God bless, but it must be the first situation!"

"Ancestors, unfilial children and grandchildren are already suffering enough, you must protect us from below..."

Immediately, there was a lot of uneasy prayers from many people.

Zhou Tao's wife also pulled her husband down: "A Tao, let's go back to worship our ancestors too?"

Zhou Tao thought about it, and thought it would be better to seek peace of mind.

"Then let's go back first, anyway, we can't wait for a result now."

Just about to leave, the building manager suddenly remembered something and called everyone to stop.

"A few boxes of things arrived today. The above said they would distribute them. One piece for each person. Every household has a representative to come over."

The above said to send it?

Hearing this, everyone was a little puzzled.

Now it's not the Chinese New Year holiday, why would you suddenly post something?

But it's strange to be strange, but everyone's actions are very fast.

As soon as the building manager pushed the boxes over with a few young men, there was already a long queue at the scene.

"What is it?" someone asked loudly.

"I don't know either. The things that arrived just now are said to be distributed to everyone after reading the news." The building manager said as he picked up the distribution instructions and read them, "It's written on it, one for each person." , if there are two provincial and municipal honors or other special honors, don't say I read it wrong."

"What is it, one for each, clothes?"

"It's not like that, how can there be so many clothes in the box, and the severe cold is not so fast, right?"

Amidst the discussion, the building manager passed the paper on his hand to others to see, just like opening a college entrance examination book. He didn't open the lock of the box in public until everyone knew the rules and confirmed that the seal of the box had not been damaged.

squeak!

This box is protected by layers, and it is not easy to open.

But after opening it a little bit, a fresh fragrance that seemed to have been familiar has already spread out to the surroundings.

Everyone's expressions changed when they smelled it.

"What does it taste like? Is it edible?"

"Why does this smell seem to have been smelled somewhere recently?"

"Isn't this the smell of that...that or something?"

"So what's the smell?"

"That's what it smells like!"

"So what does it taste like?"

"It smells like apples!"

Zhou Tao suddenly let out a loud roar, which frightened the building manager to stop opening the box.

"Ah yes yes yes yes!"

The olfactory memory of the others was awakened, and they immediately remembered the apple that Zhou Tao had brought back.

That new thing!

"Are there apples in this box?"

"Hurry up!"

The line that was straight just now became skewed in an instant. Many people stepped halfway out and poked their heads to look at the boxes that hadn't been fully opened in front of them. Only their toes were still on the spot, which could be used as proof of the line.

Although I haven't seen the apple yet, just smelling the aroma has already made many mouths salivate.

Crackling, the building manager accelerated the speed of opening the box, and the fruity aroma coming out of it became stronger and stronger.

Finally, snap.

The first chest is opened.

After the top cover was lifted, there were indeed apples wrapped in white mesh packaging bags one by one. The peel looked bright red and attractive, full of juice, and the aroma was full. The people present were already unconscious. I swallowed my saliva.

Looking at the apple right in front of them, everyone didn't even think about the coming of the ice age.

"Everyone is lined up, let's start handing out apples." The building manager roared, and immediately put the crooked line back into order. Everyone began to report the number of their family members, and then received the corresponding number of apples.

The first time everyone received an apple, they put it on their noses, took a breath intoxicated, and then quickly hugged them back to their residences to share with their families.

Zhou Tao waited quietly in the line, unlike other people who were still guessing about the origin of the apple.

He already guessed how this batch of apples came from.

Looking at the apple he received, he felt more and more changed.

Some kind of change is happening quietly that most people don't realize

The Mutual Rescue Society has not only brought apples to their time and space, Zhou Tao firmly believes that there are other things, but he doesn't know it yet.

Holding three apples in his hand, Zhou Tao turned around and found his family, and said with a smile:

"Come on, these three apples can be used as sacrifices. Let's go back and pay homage to our ancestors before eating."

The family of three walked back to the living area from the cafeteria. Along the way, many people who received apples were also worshiping their ancestors, but there were no fireworks.

There are also many unresponsive people who only knew about Apple's affairs and went downstairs in a panic to line up.

Looking at these people and the apple in his hand, Zhou Tao had only one thought in his mind:

"In the future, it should get better and better!"

Chapter 199 Donate a little fruit

Arrange three apples in a triangle on a plate and place them in front of the ancestral tablet.

These tablets were made by themselves not long after the disaster when they were working on demographic statistics and personnel files.

Regarding this kind of thing, except for the prohibition of lighting candles, burning incense and burning paper money during worship, Tan Mingda and the others did not have much to stop, neither advocating nor prohibiting.

After the simple worship without smoke or fire, the three of Zhou Tao's family put the apples on the stool, got a knife and cut one.

Only a six-year-old child has been watching excitedly, screaming non-stop.Last time he tasted a small piece of this kind of sweet thing with other students. At that time, some people said that this apple was very precious, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to eat it a second time.

Seeing their children jumping up and down in the small home, Zhou Tao and his wife were not angry, but rather liked the anger of children.

"Come on, let's eat." Zhou Tao divided the apple into three portions with two knives, gave the child the largest portion, and his wife ate the other two portions.

The wife took a bite and suddenly asked, "A Tao, are these apples the ones you brought back last time?"

Zhou Tao stopped chewing and shook his head: "How would I know that?"

"We were lucky enough to get one last time. Don't think too much about it."

"What can I think? I just want to see that the child likes to eat it, and see if you can bring another one back."

Seeing that his wife was a little lamenting, Zhou Tao touched her head: "Don't do this, it's just an apple. Our life will get better and better in the future. You are tired from working at night, so go to bed early."

When his mood calmed down, he ate the apple in one gulp, spit out all the seeds into the plate, and then began to put on protective clothing.

"Okay, I'm going to work. Has my son finished eating? I'm going to school with my dad."

Considering the health of children, their classes are generally arranged during the day, and they do not need to go out of the building. There are primary schools and kindergartens in each building.

Watching her husband and son leave, Zhou Tao's wife tidied up, and then dragged out her vegetable pot from under the bed. There was a bit of soil in it, and lettuce was planted on it, which looked verdant.

After thinking for a while, she pulled out some of the best-growing lettuces, and then carefully buried the apple seeds in the vacancy just squeezed out.

After finishing all this, she went out again with the vegetable pot, preparing to let the lettuce bask in the sun through the glass.

There is a person like her in almost every house in the whole building. When everyone meets in the stairway, they will look at each other's vegetable pots and smile faintly.

Everyone's vegetable pots have holes in them, with signs of freshly dug soil.

……

"The current outside temperature is 42°C, and the intensity of ultraviolet rays is level 5. Please wear protective clothing when going out and avoid looking directly at the sun..."

Accompanied by the notification sound, the door of the building slowly opened again, and Zhou Tao and his party, carrying the cargo boxes, walked out of the double doors and started their day's work.

It was still early and there were not many people outside.

Xue Liangping couldn't hide his excitement until now.

As soon as he came out, he said to Zhou Tao: "Captain, are the apples we just distributed the ones we saw last time?"

These team members were also insiders about what happened last time, so there was no need for Zhou Tao to say any riddles: "I think so too."

"However, it's good for you to know. Don't talk about the Mutual Rescue Association. There are only a few people who know about it. When the time comes, there is no need to investigate. They will arrest people directly."

Xue Liangping and the other two team members nodded repeatedly.

"Of course we knew it. We were the only ones who had contact with the Mutual Rescue Association at the time. Once the news came out, we definitely couldn't run away."

Xue Liangping had a new question: "But are the apples we saw last time enough?"

Needless to say, Zhou Tao and the others all know that Apple will not only distribute it to this building. Since it distributes it to this building, other buildings in the city must also have it.

Since this city has it, other cities must also have it, and no matter how bad it is, they will find something to make up for it.

So to distribute apples to them means to distribute apples to the whole country.

"Not enough," Zhou Tao pushed the cart, straightening his helmet, "But I think, maybe Chairman Zhang and the others sent us new apples during this time?"

Other players agree with this statement.

At this time, the four of them had already pushed the cargo boxes to the main road, and the number of people gradually increased, but most of them had calm faces, appearing to be preoccupied.

Zhou Tao also dropped in for a while with a few acquaintances.

It's just that these people were not interested, and they sighed without saying a word, and then the topic turned to the matter of the approaching Great Ice Age.

Leaving home after eating sweet apples, returning to work again, and facing the cruel reality, many people's minds returned to the news just now.

A new global catastrophe.

After all, such worries cannot be covered up by an apple.

"In my opinion, we may not last long..."

Suddenly a friend sighed in a low voice.

Like a chain reaction, the faces of other people around him also darkened: "We have persisted long enough, at least we are the last country, and we have not shamed our ancestors."

Looking at these old friends, Zhou Tao felt uncomfortable. He patted his cargo box twice to attract the attention of others: "What are you two saying to be discouraged?"
