The chosen boss of the end times, just wants to lie down

Chapter 117 The Beginning of Extreme Cold

A few days later, the temperature suddenly dropped sharply.

In December in S city, the temperature was still 12-16 degrees before going to bed. Chen Ye was covered with a thin quilt, but was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night.

I checked the time, it was only 4 a.m. The alcohol thermometer showed it was minus 5 degrees.

Chen Ye got up, got dressed, and went downstairs to boil some hot water to drink.

The lights downstairs were on. Danmo and Uncle Li had already gotten up and brought firewood from the shed in the corner of the yard and lit the fireplace. Seeing Chen Ye walking downstairs in thin clothes and hunched over, Uncle Li poured her a cup of hot water.

"When the house was being renovated, the young lady insisted on building a fireplace. She was indeed a wise person."

Chen Ye relaxed, walked to the door and opened it. It was snowing, and a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the glass skylight. The northwest wind was blowing, and a lot of snow was blown up. For a moment, it was hard to tell which part was snowing and which part was blown up by the wind.

The yard was a mess. Most of the vegetables had been pulled up, with only a few scattered pieces of onions and garlic left.

For many northerners, minus 5 degrees Celsius may be too cold. But for a city in the southernmost part of the country, this unprecedented low temperature will undoubtedly freeze the brains of all southerners into blocks.

Uncle Li walked up to her and whispered, "The temperature dropped too quickly. Danmo and I got up and pulled the vegetables. We left a few and will pick them all when we cook. We've also moved the ones in the incubator into the house. There aren't many chickens left, so should we kill them soon?"

He remembered that Chen Ye had said that chickens were not allowed to come in because they were too smelly.

Chen Ye nodded and wrapped her coat tightly around her. She had hurried downstairs and only put on a thin coat with a single layer of clothing underneath, so she was still quite cold.

There was no air conditioning in the hall at this time, only the firewood in the fireplace was burning.

Uncle Li said the hall was too big and diesel had to be used sparingly. Anyway, we had plenty of warm clothes and a fireplace.

After hearing this, Chen Ye didn't say much. He then went to find his down jacket, woolen trousers and woolen shoes and put them on.

Although there is still a lot of diesel and gasoline in the space, there is still a long time to go. If the diesel runs out, the amount of gasoline used to power the generator will be almost twice that of diesel. At this time, there is no way to find a replacement for this item. Since Uncle Li insists, he will save it.

Even if she found uranium at this time, she did not have the technology to achieve nuclear power generation.

The amount of energy converted by solar panels every day is negligible.

It's only a few degrees below zero now, what will we do when it reaches dozens of degrees below zero? We still have to learn to adapt, otherwise how can we survive. The coldest place in E country has a temperature of minus 6-70 degrees in winter, but others have survived.

The three of them gathered around the fireplace and used a gas stove to cook a pot of steaming army hot pot, with fresh vegetables, various handmade meatballs, and a large plate of Wagyu rolls. They sprinkled a large layer of cheese on the dough. The fragrance of shiitake mushrooms, the meaty aroma of Wagyu, and the fishy aroma of meatballs were mixed in the fresh chicken soup base, fermented in the sweet and spicy sauce, and blended with the rich cheese flavor, creating a fresh and fragrant aroma.

A sip of the spicy and mellow hot soup is like a warm current in winter, instantly bringing the frozen limbs back to life.

Not long after, Li Xiong and Chen Chen were also awakened by the cold. They came downstairs smelling the fragrance in the air.

Seeing a few people in front of me eating noodles and drinking soup, I quickly washed up and sat in front of the fireplace, breathing out air while eating.

Chen Chen picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, turned it around, dipped it in cheese, blew it gently, and then put it into his mouth. After chewing and swallowing, he sighed with satisfaction. "Young Master, I am alive again."

Uncle Li looked at him lovingly, "You two should go find two more thick clothes to wear later. The eldest lady just said that the temperature will continue to drop."

Li Xiong nodded and asked while eating, "How cold will it get? S City has never been this cold before, and now it's snowing. Who knows what will happen to the northern regions? It's really unbearable."

Dunmer replied: "Look at the coldest temperature in Siberia. There are people who can survive there."

"People have been living there for generations, and they have developed antibodies and evolved a super strong physique. We can't compare to them. Not to mention that we can't compare to them, even you and I can't compare to us."

Dunmo smiled and said, "Now you understand the benefits of the exercise that the lady asked you to do. When you can train to my level, I will take you to winter swimming."

Chen Ye said coldly: "Don't dream. The water outside a while ago has now frozen. In two days, it may not be possible to drill it open."

Uncle Li showed a worried look on his face: "How cold is it?"

"Well, probably, about the same as the coldest place in Siberia."

Chen Ye's words were so light that everyone almost dropped their bowls.

"We are in S City. It's very south. The temperature never drops below 0 degrees." Chen Chen was shocked. How could anyone survive in that kind of weather?

They were eating hot food here, wearing thick down jackets, and there was a warm fireplace in front of them. It had just snowed a little, but they felt like they were freezing to death.

What about the people outside? Not to mention the people living in tents at the base, how can the people in this community survive? In this city, no one would think of building a fireplace at home. With no water and electricity, and no firewood in the city, how can they survive?

When Chen Chen thought about how much happier he was than the people outside, he shut his mouth.

Compared to the fact that they were sealed in front of the fireplace and unable to leave, Yuan and Tuanzi were extremely happy. This temperature was just right for them.

Uncle Li prepared big steamed buns with fresh bamboo shoots and carrots for them, as well as a large bowl of milk.

After eating, they went to play. After pulling out most of the vegetables in the yard, they could play and fight without restraint, even rolling in the mud, making their fur dirty and messy.

In two days, if it gets even colder, I guess they won’t want to move.

Now the water has frozen, and the water in the water tower can't flow out. If you want to use water, you have to cut the ice and boil it. I can only wipe them with dry cleaning gloves later.

In the past two days, they had no time to train, and they were busy cleaning up the things in the basement. In addition to finding the warm clothes they needed, they also had to organize the corresponding food.

Now the temperature has dropped suddenly and heavy snow has fallen. After eating, I have to clear out all the meat and other frozen products in the cold storage, turn up the temperature, and then find a way to put the frozen water in. Otherwise, I have to melt the ice in advance every time I cook or drink water, which is very troublesome.

Some seasonings also need to be placed in the refrigerator to prevent them from clumping.

In short, there are still many things to do. After a few years of natural disasters, we don’t know whether some things will expire or deteriorate.

Thinking of this, Chen Ye couldn't help but sigh at the power of space. He wouldn't have to worry about these problems even if it lasted a hundred years.

When we were almost done eating, someone came to the door.

It was already past 6 o'clock, the sky outside was gray and snow was falling lightly. Who would come knocking on the door so early in the middle of winter?

Uncle Li was about to open the door, but Chen Ye stopped him. If anything happened later, he would have to come back to ask for instructions. Even though there was glass outside the yard, it was still very cold. Uncle Li was old, and the temper of an old man could not compete with that of a young man.

Since Chen Ye took the golden pill, his strength has increased tremendously, his vision and hearing have improved a little, and other functions have not yet been discovered. But at least his physical fitness is much better than theirs.
