Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 2342 Black Cloud
"what happened?"

Jed looked at the black clouds in the sky suspiciously. The current black clouds are a bit weird because they look too thick. It rained a few days ago, and the wind is very strong these days, and the temperature is very low every night.

"That's right, Sukang said, I hope we can cooperate to build some houses and use stones to build them. After all, the situation is different now. The temperature is very low at night, some crops have problems, and some people have frostbite."

Jed nodded. It is true that we have to find a way now, because many houses now have no insulation measures, and many people can't stand it when the cold snap comes. Some people have already fallen ill because of the sudden temperature change.

Now they have lived on the grassland for more than three years, but this time the situation is a little different. The previous cloudy and rainy days, the temperature is not as low as this time, and they have not seen the sun for a week.

Many people are afraid of what will happen if the sun disappears. This is a problem that everyone is worried about. A large-scale cold wave will come, and many of them will be frozen to death.

Although the major gangs have distributed some warm clothes, it is obviously not enough. Many people's clothes are thin. If this continues, the situation will be very bad.

There was still a lot of noise outside. Jed walked out of the tent and saw many people talking about his own difficulties. Jed and his people were distributing some clothes made of fibers extracted from crops.

Many people do not meet the conditions for receiving it, because their supplies are limited and their productivity is very limited.

In the past two years, the gods only came down a few times to help them with some small favors, and then taught them how to extract plant fibers to make clothes. Other than that, the gods didn't say anything.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Jed felt that the chaos had just begun. He had talked to Gene before, but Gene didn't say anything, so he went back directly.

Looking at the thick black clouds in the sky, many people were making noises in horror. Even though someone shot, the noise still didn't stop.

Many houses are built with wood, which is very weak. Although there is a lot of hay inside, the warmth is not enough.

Many people needed clothes and blankets, because even Jed felt cold at night. At this time, confusion occurred. A person who received the clothes was robbed of the clothes in his hand after walking a few steps. There was a riot.

Jed immediately took out his pistol and shot towards the sky, but it had no effect. Many people rushed to the place where the supplies were distributed and robbed them frantically.

"Damn you looking for death?"

One of Jed's subordinates just picked up the weapon, but before he fired, he had already fallen down. Jed felt that something was wrong, but if he shot now, he would accidentally injure his subordinates, so Jed immediately took out the extended gun The sound horn, let everyone not grab it, but it was useless at all, Jed could only ask his subordinates to retreat.

It's only been a short week, and it's already driving people crazy. Jed didn't expect it to be so fragile. Because the jar house is connected to electricity, some people use a simple heating rod to keep the temperature It emits continuously to maintain the indoor temperature at night, similar to the effect of air conditioning.

The looting ended soon, and a large number of Jade's men came over with weapons, but many of those who robbed the supplies had already fled, because they all knew that the law does not punish the public, and the situation was so chaotic that it was impossible to distinguish.

Jed’s standard for distribution is whether there are children or the elderly. Some young people are not eligible to receive clothes. Dissatisfaction is everywhere. Although Jed has promulgated laws and regulations in their territory, most of these laws are difficult to implement, and the situation is still very serious. confusion.

Jed shouted into a megaphone.

"I'll say it again for the last time. If anyone wants to do this again tomorrow, no matter who it is, I will definitely hang him."

Jed's voice was very loud, and many people turned around and left. Some people who did not receive the supplies could only turn around.

The current situation has become extremely serious. Jed looked at the sky and prayed in his heart that the sun would not disappear at this time. Although there are still frictions with other big gangs over the years, the situation is much better now.

The food reserves in each place are completely sufficient for the local people in the next four to five years, but the problem now is the cold wave. The cold has already made many people lose their minds. Some people even ignited hay in order to keep warm. fire.

A few months ago, Jed had already negotiated with many people to build a concrete house, but the other leaders only talked about it, but in fact everyone did not agree.

Because if this is done, a lot of labor will be needed to reclaim some rocks in the mountains, and there are only a few pulverizers now, so it is not easy to build a reservoir, let alone build some houses.

Everyone knows that if they really do this, it will be a disadvantage if there are too many people, because it has been the same for so many years.

The most important thing is that the management of this place is chaotic except for the gang itself, and the management of other ordinary people is relatively chaotic. Problems occur frequently in this grassland.

Jed felt the cold, he returned to the tent, turned on the heating rod, and after a while the tent warmed up.

Zhang Qi walked in.

"It doesn't look good, it's like this today, what should I do tomorrow?"

"How many clothes are there?"

Zhang Qi glanced at the list in his hand and said.

"Up to 1000 pieces, and our own people have given priority to keeping them."

The progress of the factory for extracting plant fibers is very slow, and the difficulty is very great, so only more than 1 pieces of clothes have been stored in a few months, which is already the amount produced 24 hours a day.

But among the 1 pieces of clothing, Jed first gave one piece to each of his own people, and then distributed the rest to ordinary people in the area.

"What should I do?"

"Bring me the phone."

Zhang Qi went outside, and quickly brought over a basket of phone numbers dedicated to contacting other gang leaders, and then Jed started to contact them, because the current signal communication lacks technical and hardware support, and it is impossible to dial the number directly. These appear to be telephones but are nothing more than remote communicators.

Jed intends to let the leaders come to a meeting and build a circle of houses around the farmland, so that they can resist the cold. If some hay is mixed in the house, the house will be well ventilated and not warm. Difference.

"I find it difficult, head."

Zhang Qi said, he was pacing in the room, some bosses hadn't been contacted yet, Jed said after thinking for a moment.

"Wait, we've got to act, start those pulverizers, we've got to make some cement, it's going to be a big mess."

Jade quickly gathered his men and set them in motion, but soon a henchman spoke up.

"It would be a violation of the agreement for us to automatically automate the machine."

"I can't control that much now."

2pm

Nick was in his hut, shivering from the cold, and his wife beside him was weaving something out of grass. This woman was named Ira, and she was the woman Nick met when he first arrived. She was very beautiful, enthusiastic and bold, and laughed. so cute.

"Get dressed."

Ella got up to take off her old coat, but was stopped by Nick.

"It's okay, I have no problem at all, you have to do manual work, I can't do this kind of work."

Ella is weaving a kind of straw mat, and now all the people here are doing it, because using the straw mat to block the wall will make the room warmer.

Su Kang came up with this method after brainstorming. Although it was cold at night, many of us slept together in one room, which would make it much warmer. The people here are very united.

"Come here."

As Ella said, she pulled off a sleeve and pulled Nick to her side. The two smiled and looked at each other, full of love.

Nick didn't plan to go back to the fortress at all. Although his mother came a few times during the period, he had already expressed his attitude. His uncle Allen had never been here, and Nick felt that his uncle probably forgot about him.

"It's so cold, there's nothing to do anyway, let me teach you."

Ella said and took Nick's hand, and the two continued to do it. At this moment, the door of the room was knocked, and Nick walked out. It was Su Kang and the others, and the cold air poured in.

"Ella, go to the big house to do it, and I will borrow it from my husband."

Su Kang said with a smile, Ella picked up the tool and left the house, Nick didn't know what Su Kang was going to do.

"Go to Jed's site. He called me just now and hopes that we can talk over there."

The sites on both sides are the closest, and it takes at most an hour to walk there. Ella returned the clothes to Nick, and now Nick is much warmer.

A bunch of people couldn't help looking up at the sky. The situation is a bit bad now, because the sky is still like this for a week. If it continues like this, the situation will be very bad.

"Brother Sukang, do you think the sun will come out again?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Kang smiled.

"It should be, but I'm not sure. If it really disappears, we have to prepare for the worst."

Su Kang thought of a trick. The best way is to dig a hole and spread hay in the hole. This way, at least it will be warmer. He has already started to let everyone do this.

The excavated holes are very warm. After all, the outside temperature is only about seven or eight degrees. If this continues, once the temperature drops below zero, it will be fatal to many people on this grassland.

"You really don't plan to take your wife back?"

Su Kang asked, and Nick shook his head.

"I don't plan to go back. I live happily here, and that's enough."

In the face of such a cold wave, it is obvious that the fortress where Alan and the others are located is the most comfortable, and they have built a small power station there, which has hot water every night.

The life in the fortress is envied by many people now. Some people proposed to follow the example of Allen and build houses near the mountains, but it is obviously not realistic now.

In Su Kang's view, the cold will make people stop thinking and become crazy. Fortunately, they thought of the method of straw mats, but Jed's territory is not necessarily there, because in Su Kang's serious situation, Jed is a bit dead brains.

Su Kang has tried to persuade Jed several times, but obviously it has no effect, probably because he is too tired.

After a while, Su Kang and the others stepped into Jade's territory, and they saw a fight. The two groups were fighting. It seemed that it was because of the problem of clothes. Su Kang and the others ignored it and left directly.

Su Kang can see very clearly that the people in Jed's territory have become more and more hostile since Jed cleaned up some gangs last time, and no one trusts anyone.

There is no room for maneuver on these clichéd issues. Coupled with the deteriorating environment, the future will be very difficult for many of them.

Nick on the side looked at the distance, because a corner of the fortress could be seen there.

"How about you go back?"

Nick thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Forget it, what can I do when I go back."

3pm

Allen sat quietly in the house, it was raining outside, some people were busy in the yard, and some people were sitting in the warm room, preparing dinner for the evening.

Beside Alan, his son is playing with some wooden toys, and Annie is also preparing dinner in the kitchen. Tonight's dinner has meat, which is the best for their family. Some relatives are upstairs listening to music , had a good chat.

The electric energy here is sufficient, and Alan has not accepted new members for nearly half a year, and even technicians, Alan will not accept them without special skills.

Allen's every step was extremely correct. He glanced at the sky outside the window, and then smiled helplessly. Now that the front of the fortress has been reinforced, the 50-centimeter-thick city wall can completely resist attacks, and there are many more. There are few automatic crossbow weapons, as the defense of the main entrance of the fortress, if others want to attack, they will definitely pay a terrible price.

Of course Alan knew about the chaos outside. He had expected this early on. Many places in the mountains and forests had already frozen, indicating that the cold wave would intensify. At this moment, Annie came out, and she prepared what she needed for dinner. ingredients.

Among these ingredients, there is pork. Today, two wild boars were slaughtered to celebrate the completion of the fortress's overall reinforcement. Everyone was given meat, which made everyone extremely happy.

"What's the matter, you look very sad."

Allen held his wife's hand and said with a smile.

"I don't know, maybe the war will break out soon. If the sun refuses to come out, the war will break out soon."

Annie's face was serious, and Allen said with a smile.

"We're safe, don't worry honey."

Allen looked at a thermometer outside. The temperature was only 4 degrees. It was still 6 degrees yesterday, but today it was 4 degrees. After tonight, the temperature will drop.

And once the temperature drops below zero, the entire grassland will fall into chaos.
