Rebirth at the end of the world: I report to the country

November 1, 2024, Eastern Kingdom time, 9:47 in the morning - the first night of the ice disaster coming to Eastern Kingdom has ended.

Shuinan City, Refuge Zone No. 7, Refuge Building No. 1.

Chi Yan drowsily sat up from the bed, looked at the scene in front of her with sleepy eyes, and then wrapped the quilt tighter.

"Yanyan, you finally woke up. I asked you to stay up late last night, and I thought you would sleep until noon before waking up.

Your breakfast has been picked up for you. The one wrapped in a thermal bag on the table next to you is the one. It should still be warm. If it's cold, just use the microwave. "

Chi Yan's mother, who was sitting on a chair and writing something at her desk, saw her daughter waking up and said jokingly.

"Oh, mom, what time is it now?"

Chi Yan nodded, wrapped herself in a quilt and squirmed to the head of the bed, reaching out to get her breakfast.

"It's almost ten o'clock, and the sun is almost shining... No, there is indeed no sun now. The clouds haven't dispersed yet. It is estimated that the sun will have a chance to come out in the afternoon - there should be no way to shine in the ice disaster. Butt condition."

Chi Yan's mother wanted to tease her, but then she said with a serious smile.

Chi Yan rubbed her eyes. Her brain, which was a little frozen when she got up, finally started functioning normally.

Yes, it is already the era of natural disasters.

Then she looked around with some surprise, and then at the quilt wrapped around her:

"It's already ten o'clock now? It's been ten hours since the Ice Disaster started?"

She wasn't surprised as to why she got up so late.

Chi Yan herself went to bed after three o'clock last night. After all, no matter how big the heart is, it is difficult to fall asleep at the same time as last night. In addition to Xiaobao, nine people in this room took turns looking at the small window outside. Hailstorm, lamenting its horror.

After all, with that size and the speed of falling, if you are not careful, you will be killed directly.

However, at three o'clock, under the influence of the biological clock, Chi Yan was really sleepy and could only sleep.

This sleep was really not uncomfortable, it was quite comfortable. The sound of the hail did not cause any trouble to Chi Yan, and even had a certain hypnotic effect.

After all, this was taken into consideration when the shelter was renovated, and a layer of sound insulation was added to the upward facing areas of the building to ensure that hailstones would not accumulate and at the same time reduce the sound of falling hailstones.

Although this is still a little bit, it is very light and the continuous tapping is even a bit like ASMR to Chi Yan, which makes her fall asleep faster.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Mother asked.

After Chi Yan hesitated for a while, she asked: "Is it now close to the common temperature of the ice disaster? But why do I feel...not particularly cold?"

Of course it is cold. Chi Yan is still huddled under the quilt, and her mother sitting on the chair is also wrapped in a coat. This should never happen in Shuinan City in November.

But this temperature is far different from the cold that Chi Yan expected.

Shouldn't it be an extreme temperature of tens of degrees below zero now? Why does it feel like there is no difference from the ordinary winter days in Shuinan City before? Even... a little warmer?

Ice disaster, is this it?

Chi Yan knew that she couldn't underestimate natural disasters, but she couldn't help but have such thoughts in her heart.

Seemingly sensing her daughter's thoughts, Chi Yan's mother looked up at her funny and said:

"Why, it makes you unhappy to be warmer, Yanyan, why do you think we in Dongguo have been renovating the shelter day and night for the past half month?

We have installed insulation layers both inside and outside. These things are not in name only!

We now have not only three floors inside and three floors outside, but also three floors inside and outside the building. We should be warmer. If you don’t wear more clothes now, just open the door and go to the corridor, you will be shivering from the cold, let alone go outside. .

Moreover, it has not yet reached the coldest period of the ice disaster, but in fact, there is no need to worry too much. Yanyan, don’t forget, why don’t we move to other cities? Isn’t it because we are on the coast of Shuinan City? Was the Eastern Kingdom the least affected place during the ice disaster?

Also, you may not believe it, but we are already quite cold. In cities along the northern coast of Dongzhou, they can even wear single clothes in shelters. I can only say that heating is a really good thing. "

Chi Yan's mother shook her head and sighed.

There are always people in Dongguo discussing whether it is colder in the south or in the north. In fact, this question is really meaningless.

There is really no comparison between a few degrees below zero and a dozen or even dozens of degrees below zero. With clothes that can be worn in the south in winter, you might shiver outside in the north, or even be unable to hold on at all. After all, there are people in the north every year People who froze to death—of course, there were also stubborn people who didn’t believe in evil and insisted on licking telephone poles with their tongues.

But sometimes the south is really 'colder' than the north - when people are indoors.

When the heating is turned on in the north, northerners can even wear short-sleeved shirts at home, which is very comfortable. However, the south is not suitable for heating due to factors such as geographical environment and economical and cost-effectiveness.

Humid air is pervasive, and air conditioning and heating were not common in the past few years. This makes it difficult to find an effective method of heat preservation in the south.

It's really uncomfortable to be wet and cold, so when people in the south go home, they take off their coats out of respect for the building's ability to retain heat. Taking them off again would be a bit embarrassing for their bodies.

In half a month, it was impossible to retrofit a truly effective heating system in a southern building. However, the shelters in the north that were originally equipped with heating equipment maintained normal operation on the first day of the ice disaster, so the shelters there The residents felt somewhat at ease.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yan quickly finished her breakfast, then put on her clothes and got out of bed, came to the window, and looked at the outside world through the small window. There was no frost on the window, so someone must have wiped it.

The damage caused by the hail was quite large. All the good things Chi Yan recorded in Shuinan City yesterday were completely wiped out overnight.

Shuinan City's iconic tower has been bent at the waist, and is covered with 'wounds' caused by hail. As for the greening, street trees, and bushes that have been in place for many years, they have been almost flattened. Although the trees are still standing, the top branches are The broken and accumulated hailstones were mixed with a large number of leaves and branches, and the 'remnants' were desolate in the cold wind.

Chi Yan compared Shuinan City in her camera and sighed softly. The beauty was no longer there and she was inevitably disappointed.

Act of God, act of God.

When she lowered her head, Chi Yan discovered that there was already a group of workers on the road occupied by hail below. Braving the biting low temperature, they were cleaning up the broken ice and snow on the road, as if they wanted to restore the city to its original state. The way it was before.

There are also people who are collecting some relatively intact hailstones and don’t know what to do.

Another slight buzzing sound attracted Chi Yan's attention. She raised her head and saw... machines all over the sky.

As my mother said, the sky at this moment is covered with clouds, and the sun behind it cannot be seen.

But I saw a large number of drones scattered in the sky of Shuinan City. They were of different sizes, some were very huge, and some were very small.
