Chen Song smiled and said, "That's right, it's unrealistic to transfer all of you out, and we don't have extra time to build a safety point, so we can only light these coals to help you keep warm."

"Seal these coals to burn in the outer room, and then we will seal the door, and you will retreat to the inner part of the library, so that it will not be affected."

When Chen Song spoke, other soldiers had already started to light the fire, and the coal like a hill began to burn slowly.

Afterwards, everyone exited the room, and then cleaned out all the flammable materials outside to ensure that after the door was burned, the fire would not spread to the entire library, and then sealed off the surrounding passages to reduce air flow.

After the coal piles in these rooms continue to burn for a period of time, the heat will slowly transfer to the interior of the library through the walls. As long as Jack and the others stay there, they will not be as comfortable as turning on the heating, but at least they will not be burned. so cold.

And when the combustion temperature in the room is high, the glass of the window will break, and the cold wind and snowflakes will blow in through the window, which can just play a role in cooling down, so there is no need to worry about overheating.

This is the new plan that Wang Lei came up with after receiving the new order.

Although it is not 100% perfect, and there is even a small possibility of causing a fire, it solves the ventilation problem when burning coal.

One does not need to continue to strike a balance between ventilation and temperature.

After Chen Song finished all this, other soldiers mobilized the surrounding people and took them into the library for refuge.

Soon, the library began to be crowded with people, and the noisy voices became one.

During this period, Jack watched the library being quickly transformed into a large man-made heater by Chen Song and his team. The temperature that could freeze people to death slowly began to rise.

even...

"It's a little hot!"

The people leaning against the wall could already feel the heat coming from behind, and their foreheads began to sweat.

People around began to take off their coats, or to move into the inner rooms of the library, where it was still cooler.

Sam took off a coat, and in his heart he admired the means of the rescue team from the Mutual Rescue Society just now. They were still worried about whether they would be frozen to death, but now they seemed to be worried about whether they would be heated to death.

Thinking of this, Sam's eyes could not help but drift towards Laura.

Seeing this, Laura gave him a strange look.

"what happened?"

Sam touched his nose and said, "Are you hot, I can help you with your coat."

Laura: "...Rogue!"

……

southern border.

Tom, who had already retreated here with the large army, curled up on the sofa to rest. He had hardly slept since the tornado in California. Even on the way back, he had been dealing with various official duties.

But he didn't sleep for a few minutes before he was called again.

The assistant reported the latest situation to him.

"A report from NASA said that the International Space Station has just discovered an abnormal situation in New York...a storm is heading there, and the temperature in the eye of the storm is extremely low, and a large amount of cold air from high altitudes is brought to the ground. The temperature dropped by ten degrees..."

The assistant handed over the report, Tom took it, got up without looking twice, and looked for something.

"What do you want?"

"Do you know where the report from the Mutual Rescue Society is?"

Assistants were quickly found.

Tom compared the situation of the two reports and breathed a sigh of relief:

"Sure enough! This situation was predicted by them a long time ago, and the result is exactly the same."

"What's the situation in New York now?"

The assistant said: "It has been completely lost, but the rescue team of the Mutual Rescue Society is still active there. I heard that they just brought back a group of people yesterday."

"Is there Jack in there?" Tom pressed on.

The assistant shook his head: "I don't know, but until now, our bureau has not received any news from him, so he should not be inside."

Tom's heart sank suddenly, and he always felt that he had forgotten something.

"Jack... Lucy... how is Lucy?!"

He seems to have forgotten Lucy!

Jack and Sam are in New York.

Lucy was also forgotten in Washington...

This family is gone!

If Lucy heard Tom's question, she would tell him not to worry.

Because she is also at the border now.

Although Baker and the others were completely cold, a temporary camp was successfully built here.

The Mutual Aid convoy dropped off all the critically ill patients here, then turned around and continued north.

Lucy got out of the car with Peter, and finally communicated with the camp staff and arranged a bed for Peter.

Before she could catch her breath, she heard an urgent news on the camp radio:

"The 'prophecy' of Mutual Rescue has come true again. A low-temperature storm is hitting New York. According to preliminary forecasts, the temperature in the eye of the storm is close to -98°C. The rescue team of Mutual Rescue and New Yorkers are facing difficult challenges..."

Hearing this, Lucy became dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

Chapter 272 One Hundred Million!

New York, Public Library.

This place is now bustling like a prison for exercising.

There are at least 2000 people who were moved in by the rescue team for refuge. These people are all over the library. They either gather together to chat, or they just don’t know where they found chess and poker, and they take turns playing cards together.

There are even people who choose to read books or novels out of boredom, but there are still people who have brought out the tax laws that filled a bookshelf and read them seriously...

This kind of person, Brian generally called him "crazy".

"Should we just continue to wait now?" Brian found Jack.

Holding a professional book on meteorology in his hand, Jack looked up and said, "No problem, don't worry too much. The coal just brought in should be enough for us to survive the next storm."

After speaking, Jack saw Brian staring at the book in his hand, so he smiled and said, "Are you interested in meteorology?"

Brian nodded, "I wasn't interested at first, but now I'm interested."

Jack smiled even wider: "Then what do you want to know? We can discuss it. The 21st century of our time and space has just begun, but I can be sure that this is a century of meteorology..."

Brian immediately asked his own question, and Jack explained it to him calmly, and the two started asking and answering like this.

Sam shook his head and watched his classmate step into the sinkhole like this. After sighing, he looked at the coat he was holding in his hand and couldn't help but smile.

Laura was next to him, wearing a fitted sweater, talking to him with a slightly rosy face:

"After this disaster is over, I might consider meteorology as well."

Sam's smile suddenly petrified, and he insisted: "Very... very good, very good..."

Laura glanced at him and didn't understand why his tone was so reluctant, but she was completely immersed in the future she imagined, and she was full of longing:

"After graduating from university, I want to join the Mutual Rescue Society, like your father, to study in other time and space, or join a rescue team to save more people."

Sam, who had just found love, didn't think so deeply at all, he could only touch his head and say, "Then I'll go with you too."

As soon as he finished speaking, the police officer in the library came in from the outside with a paper trumpet rolled out of a book, and said as he walked, "Just received the news that the storm is approaching, everyone pay attention."

The noisy library suddenly fell silent.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but everyone immediately felt that the temperature in the library began to drop, and many of them silently put back the coats they had just taken off.

……

Scotland.

Professor Rabson and his two assistants have been stuck in the car for days.

Although there is no need to worry about eating and drinking, but there is nothing to do in a narrow space for a long time, and there is still endless snowflakes outside, which inevitably makes people feel aggrieved and depressed.

Compared with the old, middle-aged and young trio, the members of the rescue team in the car can put on protective clothing and go outside for activities.

puff!

The cabin door opened, and the icy air from the isolation cabin mixed into the heated car, bringing a cool and fresh air. Afterwards, a young man in protective clothing took off his helmet and exhaled a mouthful of stale air.

"Bob, how's the situation outside?" Professor Ruibosen stepped forward immediately.

The young Bob gestured at the height and said, "The snowflakes outside have piled up to a height of at least six meters. I managed to climb up to the third floor before receiving the signal from the space station."

After speaking, he took off the entire protective suit and put down a communication device at the same time.

He just left the car and used this set of things to receive the signal from the space station.

Since the storm in Europe has intensified, the snow on the ground has become higher and higher. It was only one or two meters at the beginning, and now it has reached at least six meters.

As a result, the connection between the car and the space station was intermittent, and they had to take the communication device to a high place, and then download all the new information to the USB flash drive.

After inserting the USB flash drive into the car computer, everyone began to check today's information.

The first place is undoubtedly all kinds of news from North America——

[Rescue teams in eastern North America traveled day and night, urgently evacuating 100 million people affected by the disaster]

[Comrade Wang Li of the Western Rescue Team used local materials to build a large shelter and built a life barrier for 20 people]

[The refuges in the Great Lakes area opened life channels and urgently accommodated 40 people affected by the disaster]

[New York storm is approaching, warming the heart in the library]

Through these official news, the people in the car quickly learned about the situation on the other side of the Atlantic.

Professor Rabson was taken aback.

Although these news seem to be all good news, they can imagine what kind of hell the other side is now as long as they think about it in reverse.

You know, the total number of people rescued in these news is less than 1000 million.

But how many people are there on the other side?

Although some of those who have not been recorded live in the south, there must be many in the north.

Are those people missing?

In this comparison, they were just stuck in the car for a few days, with food and drink, and even a separate bathroom, living in heaven.

Yesterday they even had a "call" with their family members. After recording what they wanted to say, Bob and the others took it outside and transmitted it to the space station, and then transferred to the shelter. Then the family members responded in the same way.

After reading the news, Professor Ruibosen was stunned for a while, and subconsciously said: "Thank God, Baker is not from our country."

domestic.

Zhang Tianyuan and Zhong Lao have received Wang Lei's latest report, which details the current situation in New York.

“The current number of New Yorkers under our shelter is about 120 million, and these people mainly rely on the protection of temporary shelters with central heating ... In addition, we have distributed coal and other supplies to at least 400 million people in the city.”

"5 minutes ago, the storm hit New York head-on, and all the coal piles of temporary shelters are currently burning normally..."

After closing the report, Zhang Tianyuan turned around and asked:

"After this disaster, how many of them are left?"

The assistant next to him picked up a summary: "According to our latest statistics, the panic atmosphere we deliberately created before affected about 400 million of them, plus the recent spontaneous relocation or relocation by the organization, as well as those rescued by us people……"

"After this catastrophe, they're projecting another 700 million people."

"In other words, in this disaster, their death toll may have reached [-] million!"

Chapter 273 When the Sunshine Falls Again

One billion!

Although everyone already had a hazy guess in their hearts, this number is still too scary.

Someone expressed his opinion in a deep voice: "This is definitely the most serious casualty accident since Dimension 2, and most importantly, it could have been avoided!"

Zhang Tianyuan also sighed.

He still felt a pity in his heart that [-] million lives were ruined in vain by Baker and the others.
