Seeing the heater mounted high in front of the window working hard, she sighed deeply.

The weather is getting colder day by day, and the temperature has already hit a record low. If it weren't for the end of the world, the Internet would probably be abuzz by now.

Now it is very difficult to open the window.

In other words, this was already the case in June.

The temperature is low and there is still snow falling. Although the snow will not melt due to the rising temperature during the day and freeze again due to the cooling at night, when the temperature is so low, the windows no longer need to be melted to freeze the windows.

But she couldn't give up cleaning the windows completely, because the only way she could observe the outside world was through the window, and she couldn't let her eyes darken and not know anything.

In fact, in theory, it is not necessary to clean the windows. The water mist on the inside of the house can be wiped off directly. The ice on the outside is the culprit that blocks the view.

All you need to do is use a heater to warm it up, the temperature will rise, and the ice will melt. Then you can use a telescope to observe the outside world through the window.

Although it may be a bit difficult to see clearly, it is much better than not being able to see clearly at all. At least you can see the rising snow and whether the snow grooming truck is working.

However, the more this happens, the more we fall into a "melting-freezing-freezing" cycle.

The weather would not allow the ice and snow to melt, but she used a heater to make the ice on the windows turn into water and flow downwards. In a low-temperature environment, it would quickly refreeze and stick to the cracks in the lower windows.

Day after day, every melting adds to the problem, making it more difficult to open the windows.

This whole process is an infinite loop:

You need to see the outside world, but the windows are frozen and you cannot see clearly; the windows are frozen and cannot be opened, so you can only heat the windows indoors to melt the ice; the ice turns into water, and it must be wiped off in time to prevent it from freezing again.

But in such weather, no matter how hard you wipe the windows, you can't resist the blowing snow and ice.

So, once again, we fall into a painful cycle.

When did this start... She frowned as she recalled it, then raised her eyebrows after a while - I'm afraid it was the freezing rain that planted the seeds for this cycle!

When the freezing rain ended, the temperature had already reached below zero, and the window frames began to freeze, which inevitably started this annoying cycle——

It turns out that the first wave of water that froze the cracks in the windows did not come from melting ice and snow, but from a natural disaster!

She just...rolled her eyes with a frown, what a vicious apocalyptic weather!

However, no matter how abominable this cycle is, we can still use the heater to melt it, open the windows and clean them, and observe the outside world.

And now? As the temperature drops, the task of melting ice and snow becomes more and more difficult. The heater blowing time is gradually lengthened every day, and the effect is also visually deteriorating.

Sometimes she was a little frightened - thermal expansion and contraction, cold and hot confrontation, would this damage the glass?

Yes, she knew that the window glass was deposited using a golden finger description, but golden fingers were not really omnipotent.

The things that can be exchanged for the golden finger are only items that can be produced based on the current level of development of the world, rather than directly creating high-tech products.

Therefore, the redeemed windows must also follow the laws of physics.

She knew that the window glass was of high quality, but... wasn't this the end of the world? Whether she can withstand the ravages of the apocalypse, there is no experimental data that can answer her question.

In June, the temperature dropped from minus 30 degrees to minus 60 degrees. She insisted on blowing the windows every day, melting the ice, and simply wiping the inside and outside simultaneously.

After all, this frost is accumulated. If it is not cleaned up one day, it will be ruthlessly superimposed on the workload of the next day, and the more it is superimposed, the harder it will be to melt it. There is no way, it must be done every day.

As a result, the daily window cleaning work felt a bit forced, and it was almost like rushing her to remove the ice.

Now that we are entering July, this job is really difficult.

The temperature will be even lower in the future. What will happen when it drops to minus 70 or 80 degrees?

Maybe she can't melt ice as fast as she freezes! A drop of water melted on one side of her, and two lumps of ice were newly frozen on the other side. What should I do?

Otherwise...forget it?

She tried to think in a new direction, did this window have to be cleaned?

The purpose of cleaning the windows is to observe the outside world. So is the task of observing the outside world really still so important to her now?

In each different stage, she observes the outside world and sees similar things.

When the temperature is high, she will look at the solar panels installed on the balconies of the buildings opposite to see if everyone still has electricity; she will listen to the sound of the outdoor air conditioners running nearby to decide when and how long to turn on her own air conditioner.

During the heavy rain phase, she looked at the height of the water to calculate whether she would be flooded; she looked at other people on the opposite floor receiving water to guess their living conditions; and she also looked at the arrival of official boats to figure out the current situation.

Entering the extremely cold stage, she has to watch the snow accumulation and the migration of residents; now that the people are gone, the snow packer has arrived, and she needs to use this big machine to judge the snow accumulation trend and external conditions.

With a snow compressor, you basically don’t have to worry about the snow flooding to the 20th floor;

The presence of the snow compressor means that City B is now in full swing to move to the official evacuation base;

With the snow grooming truck, at least the road she could see was still under official control and had not been abandoned.

Therefore, the focus of her current observation of the outside world is on the height of the snow accumulation and whether the snow grooming vehicle appears.

Can you give up on these two points?

She frowned and thought. She had never thought about it in this direction before, but now that she thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was not impossible.

It has just entered July. According to the range of 180 to 200 days given by the system, the extreme cold will end at the end of September at the earliest and mid-October at the latest.

If the current snow conditions were used, once the snow-pressure truck stopped working, it would rise eight stories in a month. At the height of the 20th floor where she was, it was really not very safe.

So does she really need to stare at this change every day? The answer seems to be no.

——So what if the 20th floor is unsafe? She can enter the space!

After all, this is snow, not rain. Once the water comes up, it will seep in through the cracks in the windows. If one doesn't notice, there may be trouble.

But snow is different. Even if she can't see clearly outside and is approached by snow, so what?

The glass is covered with frost, and the already dim skylight is even less, but it is not without it. If it is buried in snow, the changes should still be visible to the naked eye.

To take a step back, even if the frost on the glass has accumulated so thickly that it is hidden by the snow and cannot be seen, it will not cause any serious consequences.

Once you feel something is wrong, whether it's dark outside, the glass is ringing, or the room is stuffy, just turn around and enter the space.
