End of the World, Rebirth as a Queen
Chapter 81 Freezing
It takes time for the ice to freeze three feet thick to form, but the hail lasted for three days and three nights.
Although it was very close, Mu Nanchen couldn't go back. First, the hail was very big, and second, he was a little selfish. He wanted to stay here, in the space where she was.
The hail lasted for more than three days, and it was not until noon on the fourth day that the hail stopped.
When Mu Nanchen saw the hail stopped, he became restless and didn't want to leave, but he was also a little worried about the situation in the team.
Seeing his concern, Lu Zhu took the initiative to suggest going to Area A to take a look.
"Let's go! Let's go and check out the situation outside. We don't know how many people are still alive in the base." Lu Zhu took out a gray scarf from the space and covered his neck, mouth and nose tightly.
Lu Zhu's words made Mu Nanchen walk faster. He didn't care about other people, but he hoped that nothing would happen to the people in the team.
When going downstairs, Lu Zhu paid attention to the movements downstairs. Coming down from the 6th floor, there was no sound in many houses.
It was not until the third floor that she heard a slight coughing sound from 3.
I wonder who lives on the third floor? Could it be the person she met that day?
Somehow, Lu Zhu was looking forward to it~
When they reached the first floor, they were both stunned by the scene before them.
The exit on the first floor was covered with large lumps of hail. Since the terrain here was slightly higher, the hail only overflowed the two steps on the first floor, and a small part of it splashed into the corridor at the exit.
Due to weather reasons, these ice blocks did not melt. Instead, the wind blowing out of the cave made the hailstones contain moisture and froze, connecting themselves to each other.
Seeing this situation, Lu Zhu took out a small roll of hemp rope from the space, tore out a few sections and cut them with a knife, then handed the rest to Mu Nanchen.
Mu Nanchen understood what she meant and didn't hesitate. He took the rope and worked with Lu Zhu to tie the hemp rope around his shoes on the stairs to prevent him from slipping.
Slipping on frozen ice is no joke, the ice now is different from normal ice and the ground is not flat.
If I slip, it will be much better than falling in the quarry.
In fact, Lu Zhu does have snow boots, but now she is outside and she is always on guard. It is better to keep a low profile in this world.
After tying their shoes, Lu Zhu and Mu Nanchen used their hands and feet to walk out of Building 16 in Zone C.
The thick ice was indeed very slippery. After falling twice on the ice, Lu Zhu was so scared that he could only walk while squatting. Although this was ugly, it was quite useful.
Mu Nanchen's lower body was more stable than hers, but he also walked very carefully.
The distance, which was originally not short, now seemed particularly long. The more anxious I was, the more difficult it was to walk. In the end, I could only walk while squatting like Lu Zhu.
The movement speed was obviously much faster after reaching the center of gravity. It used to take them more than 40 minutes to reach Area A, but now it took them more than an hour to get there.
On the way, Lu Zhu looked at the devastated base and felt a little sad. Although this place was not perfect, it was also the prototype of a base.
It's only been a few days, and I didn't expect the natural disaster to come so quickly. Many facilities were still under construction, and now they have to be started all over again.
In a small base like the one in Doomsday, since there is no outside support, many things have to be self-sufficient. This time it was obviously a fatal blow.
In the past, we could be said to have taken advantage of the weather and the location, but now the location has become a deadly weapon. The ice is not easy to melt in this temperature of minus sixty degrees.
When we entered Area A, there was a lot of hail inside, and because there were houses, the road was not as smooth as outside.
Many eaves, windows, burglar-proof windows and other items were knocked to the ground, and those that were broken were barely hanging on. Area A was as prosperous as it was before, but now it is as desolate.
Lu Zhu followed Mu Nanchen silently, walking closely towards where their team lived.
Area A is not that big, and we will arrive there in no time.
"Brother Chen Hua, Chen Yang, Qizhou, is everyone okay?" Mu Nanchen shouted outside before entering the yard.
Mu Nanchen shouted as he stumbled around looking for someone and pushed open door after door.
Lu Zhu looked around with some reluctance, she also didn't want anything to happen to them.
There were still several cars in the yard, with several door panels placed on the car windows and roofs. It must be because of the sudden hail, and they temporarily removed them to protect the cars from the hail.
"Bang~" a voice came from a room.
Lu Zhu and Mu Nanchen hurried to the direction of the sound; they were both in the kitchen.
When Lu Zhu and Mu Nanchen arrived, Chen Hua and others were moving the table that was blocking the door.
"Brother Chen Hua~" Mu Nanchen couldn't help but shed tears, his eyes turned red.
"Come in quickly and don't look so depressed. We are not dead yet!" Chen Hua couldn't help but scold him.
Lu Zhu and Mu Nanchen hurried into the house, and Luo Chenyang and Xu Qizhou quickly closed the door.
He closed the door, then hurriedly wrapped himself in a quilt with his teammates and huddled in front of the fire.
Lu Zhu now had time to look at their clothes. They were not thick. They must have put on all their clothes, but they were not warm enough.
Several people were huddled together, wrapped in quilts to keep warm, with the doors and windows all around closed tightly. No wonder we couldn’t find anyone for such a long time!
"Come over and warm yourself by the fire too~" Chen Hua called out.
"Boss, come in first! It's cold outside~" Luo Chenyang looked up at Chen Hua and called him worriedly.
Chen Hua didn't act pretentiously and sat down next to Luo Chenyang beside the fire. A few people moved over and covered him with a corner of the quilt.
There are more than a dozen people here, their lips are black from the cold, and it is obvious that they have no winter clothes to keep warm.
Seeing them like this, Lu Zhu felt a little soft-hearted. She had plenty of clothes in her space, but with so many people and so many clothes, it was a problem whether to give them to someone or not.
Of course, they also saw the clothes they were wearing. Without asking Mu Nanchen, they knew that the clothes were given to him by Lu Zhu.
Lu Zhu looked at their eager eyes and couldn't help but frown. She was not a savior and could not save them.
"It's been a few days. Where is the person in charge of the base? Why didn't he give you something to keep warm?" Lu Zhu asked.
"Aren't you responsible for the security of the base?" Lu Zhu met their gaze and asked question after question.
"It was hot before, so most people didn't bring any luggage, and didn't prepare any cotton-padded clothes or pants. The base is only half built now, and most of the supplies depend on being handed in. Not many people can earn points," Chen Hua said helplessly.
"We can no longer rely on the government because I heard that the government is also building rescue stations and recruiting many talented people. Many powerful people are now trying to establish themselves as kings and have built bases. The chief of our base went to the official base to seek help a few days ago and has not returned yet." Chen Hua helplessly stated the true situation of the base.
"So what are you going to do now? Sit here and wait to die?" Lu Zhu was a little angry.
"Of course not, when the temperature rises a little, we will..." Chen Hua argued ~ but he was interrupted by Lu Zhu before he could finish his words.
"What if the weather is like this and lasts for several months or even longer?" Lu Zhu ignored his words and went straight to the point.
"Lu Zhu~" Mu Nanchen frowned. He felt that Lu Zhu's tone was a bit too much~
"What I said is wrong?" Lu Zhu asked calmly.
"...No." Mu Nanchen choked, unable to refute her.
