Back at the base, after discovering that the temperature had begun to drop abnormally sharply, everyone in the base was in an atmosphere of panic.

Of course, the first thing people would do is to increase the charcoal in the heating stove, put on thick down jackets or cotton clothes as much as possible, and if that doesn't work, wrap the whole body with a quilt.

In the guesthouse, Aunt Man took out all the quilts in the closet, and put on all kinds of warm clothes in three layers inside and outside. The innermost layer was pure cotton thermal underwear, followed by a cashmere vest, a pure wool sweater on the outside, and then a heavy down jacket. The same thing went on underneath, with pure cotton trousers, fleece trousers, and a layer of loose cotton trousers. She also wore three layers of socks. At one point, she couldn't even fit into her original shoes, so she just put on her husband's sneakers. The original size 37 shoe size could now fit into her husband's size 41 sneakers because she was wearing three layers of socks.

Xiaoli and Lan Cen in the next room were also hurrying to put on all the heavy clothes in order. Although they both felt inconvenient to move after putting on their clothes, and looked like fat and round penguins, even raising their hands seemed extremely difficult, they still had to put on their clothes to save their lives.

Xiaoli put on her clothes first and ran to the bathroom to see that the water pipes were indeed frozen. No water came out when she turned on the faucet. A bucket of water in the room turned into ice in just one hour, not to mention other decorations near the window.

"The air conditioner is already on 30 degrees, why is it still so cold in here..." Xiaoli shivered, her whole body felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and she couldn't control the cold.

Lan Cen had just put on his clothes and glanced at the air conditioner which was still operating normally. It indeed showed 30°, but the temperature in the room did not actually rise much.

"I, I said it's so cold. The indoor temperature is still minus 19 degrees Celsius. So how many degrees is it outside?" Xiaoli looked at the thermometer beside the bed. It clearly pointed to 19 degrees and was showing a trend of dropping.

Lan Cen covered himself with one of the lighter quilts, and picked up the hot water bottle that had just been heated and placed under the quilt. The boiling hot water bottle only felt warm in his frozen palms, which showed how cold the actual temperature outside was.

"Sister Xiaoli, stop talking and wrap yourself in a quilt quickly, otherwise you will freeze to death." Lan Cen gritted his teeth, but every time he spoke, the white breath he exhaled would dissipate in the air in an instant.

Xiaoli was really feeling extremely cold, so she finally jumped onto the bed, pulled on her usual quilt, and added another layer of coral fleece quilt on the outside. Even so, she still felt like she was in a cave in the mountains, filled with cold air.

"No, we can't go on like this. I remember there is a stove in the small warehouse on the second floor. I have to bring it to our room. Lan Cen, are you still able to move? If you can, go to my aunt's room next door and ask her for the key to the warehouse downstairs, and get five pounds of charcoal first." Xiaoli thought that if the room continued to be so cold, they would definitely not be able to bear it. The air conditioner would be frozen sooner or later, so they had to use the stove.
