Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Gu Tongwan was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night. She had thought that the temperature of the air conditioner in the room was too low, so she subconsciously pulled the thin blanket in her hand tighter. But then a piercing chill quickly ran through her limbs from the soles of her feet. After a sudden shiver, she immediately stood up with a somersault.

At this time, Aoao and Tutu in the living room also started barking wildly, obviously becoming restless and uneasy because of some abnormality.

Gu Tongwan rushed to the window, where the thermometer showed that the indoor temperature was only fifteen degrees. What was even more strange was that heavy snow began to fall outside.

This sudden snow reminded her that in her previous life, the extreme cold should have occurred in November, but now it was delayed by more than a month.

She quickly switched the air conditioner from cooling to heating mode, then found a thick turtleneck cashmere sweater and cashmere pants from the space, put on a cashmere vest on the outside, and finally an outdoor down jacket that could withstand temperatures of minus forty degrees Celsius.

After doing all this, skirting boards were quickly placed in the bedroom, two more oscillating air heaters were added in the corners of the living room, and a fireplace was placed in the living room, where charcoal was directly added and ignited. When building the house before, Liu Jinde and others were specifically told that it would be best to make a heating outlet that could connect the fireplace to the room, so that the exhaust gas from the charcoal burning could be directly discharged to the outside.

The heated kang commonly used in the north was also retained and connected to a small utility room next to the yard, but she didn't know how many months the extremely cold weather would last. She currently had only a few dozen tons of smokeless carbon, so she had to use it sparingly, after all, she would have to continue using it after entering the base.

When I returned to the bedroom, the indoor temperature showed 13 degrees, but I could see that the red vertical line was slowly dropping.

The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, making a bleak and wild "whoosh" sound that was different from the one on typhoon days. Thick snow began to cover the ground, and a thin layer of frost could be seen in a corner of the outer wall.

The temperature continued to drop at an unprecedented rate. She remembered that during the first extreme cold period in her previous life, the outdoor temperature could drop as low as minus 50 degrees Celsius, and in the Mohe area it even dropped to minus 60 degrees Celsius.

Moreover, this extremely low temperature was not caused gradually, but almost completed in one day. At that time, most people who were still outdoors and did not have time to return indoors died outside due to hypothermia, and a group of elderly people could not survive the first extreme cold period.

Compared with hot weather, the impact of extreme cold is more serious. The human body cannot warm up quickly in a low temperature state, and the heat loss of the human body is greater than the heat supply, which causes the temperature of the core area of ​​the human body to drop, gradually producing a series of symptoms such as chills, cardiopulmonary failure, etc.

Aoao and Tutu have thick fur and there is nothing unusual going on in the room. Instead, they keep circling behind her, as if they are worried that something might happen to her.

The waterproof cloth originally set up in the yard was suddenly blown away by the cold north wind. The bucket in the corner was overturned to the ground. Looking up, the trees and mountains in the distance were all wrapped in snow.

The cold wind hit my face like a sharp knife, scraping me again and again, stinging me with pain.

Shivering all over, Gu Tongwan closed the door again. Only then did he feel that the air he breathed in did not scratch his stomach.

She took some spiritual spring water and placed it on the induction cooker, added a lot of ginger cubes and two large pieces of brown sugar. While the water was boiling, she took out the sealing strip and re-sticked the leaking part of the window to ensure that the cold air would not slowly seep into the room when the window was closed.

After the smokeless carbon was ignited, the temperature in the room has now been maintained at around ten degrees, while the temperature outside has now dropped to minus thirty degrees and is still continuing to drop.

Jiangcheng is a southern city. The coldest time in previous years was close to zero degrees Celsius, and most winters were only about six or seven degrees Celsius. Occasionally during the Spring Festival, the temperature even exceeded 10 degrees Celsius. Such heavy snow now has never been seen in history.

I don’t know how much time had passed. The hot ginger tea had probably been boiling for a while. Gu Tongwan took out the thermos and filled a cup. Then he poured himself a bowl and drank it mouthful by mouthful with both hands.

She put a lot of ginger in it, so when the ginger tea went down the throat and spread to the internal organs, it felt hot, and the coldness in the body was immediately dispelled a lot.

After his body felt a little warmer, he took out a large bag of body and foot warmers from the space and stuck them on the front and back of his clothes. He also changed into a pair of snow boots and cashmere socks.

For breakfast, I had Lanzhou beef ramen, which was specially made with a lot of chili oil. After one bowl of it, my stomach immediately felt better.

After his body was completely warmed up, he put on a thick rabbit fur hat and a scarf, covering almost two-thirds of his face. He then carried the thermos cup he had just picked up in his hand and only took Tutu out, leaving Aoao at home for the time being.

At Zhang Youfan's home, Zhang Mingguo was burning wood in the stove with gritted teeth and shivering, while Liu Jinhua was adding charcoal to the charcoal basin to ensure that the temperature in the room would be better.

Yang Mei hurriedly put on a cotton coat for herself and rummaged through the drawers to find winter clothes for her son. The seven-year-old Xiaobao was wrapped in a quilt on the bed, so cold that he couldn't make a sound.

Yang Mei's face was pale from the cold, but she still managed to find some autumn clothes and several cotton jackets for her son. After finally dressing her son, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she was so cold that she had no strength left.

"Wife, come here, let me help you put it on." Zhang Mingguo quickly supported Yangmei and after a lot of hard work, he finally put on an extra cotton coat for Yangmei.

"Lao Zhang, why, why did the temperature suddenly drop..." Liu Jinhua's lips trembled with cold, and she leaned against the charcoal brazier, trying to absorb the heat like a common man.

Zhang Youfan was so cold that he shrank his neck. He found that even though he was indoors, the breath he exhaled was already covered with white mist when he spoke.

The five members of the family only wanted to gather around the charcoal brazier at this moment. Finally, Zhang Youfan gritted his teeth, stood up, and slightly opened the window.

Yang Mei wanted to stop him, but her husband shook his head at her, "Don't do that. If he really gets locked up to death, he could get carbon monoxide poisoning."

At this moment, there seemed to be a violent knock on the door outside. The family thought it was an illusion, but they didn't expect it to be followed by a dog barking.

Zhang Youfan shuddered and said slowly, "Okay, it sounds like a dog barking..."

Zhang Mingguo worked in the fields for many years, so he had better physical strength than the others in the house. He pulled himself together and gritted his teeth, saying, "I'll go open the door!"

As a result, as soon as I walked into the yard, I was blown by a gust of cold wind and couldn't open my eyes. Ice chips kept falling on my head and soon hit my body, forming a layer of frost.

The distance from the house to the gate was less than ten meters, but Zhang Mingguo felt as if he had walked for half his lifetime, and his feet were so cold that he had lost all feeling.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a huge figure squeezed in. Zhang Mingguo was startled. Before he could react, he saw a man in bulky clothes who wrapped himself tightly following him in, saying in a muffled voice: "Brother Zhang, you can't continue lying in bed, you have to keep the stove lit!"
