A female utopia under the apocalypse of natural disasters

Chapter 164 Winter comes early and fuel is scarce

Ye Ting looked slightly startled. She had seen that the weather had been hot these days and thought it would be extremely hot in the next few months. Unexpectedly, the temperature actually cooled down.

Although there was a lot of anthracite in the storeroom at home, she couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

Generally speaking, if the natural disaster-type apocalypse follows the climate cycle of a year, it will either be a dry season or a rainy season, or it will be extreme heat + extreme cold.

Now that there are signs of extreme cold, it is possible that such weather will remain for nearly half a year or more, and the temperature will get lower and lower as time goes by.

Xijiang Province is located in the southeastern part of Country H, on the south bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Changjiang River. It has a humid subtropical climate. Winters are usually humid and the temperature is high. Snowfall is not common in Xijiang Province, but snowfall still occurs occasionally.

This means that if the order of large-scale cooling continues from north to south in the northern hemisphere, winter may not be too difficult in her area.

But when she thought that the occurrence of [abnormal climate change] did not follow the laws of nature and the two prerequisites of the soul protection network, she did not dare to be too sure.

Maybe [He] is dissatisfied with the low number of casualties during floods in the hilly area south of the middle and lower reaches of the Changjiang River where he is located, and is planning to take action in winter?

It’s best to stock up on as many supplies as possible.

What is the most indispensable thing in winter?

Of course it was heat, something that could provide heat. The first thing she thought of was fuel. If she wanted to eat hot food, she had to use fuel for cooking. If there was enough fuel, it wouldn't be a problem if she had less quilts and coats to keep warm.

Of course, this is just a joke. If you go out without taking adequate measures to keep warm, you will risk your life.

She needs to stock up on more fuel, but her home is packed with all kinds of supplies. If she wants to stock up on fuel, she has to find a way to do it with her neighbors on the same floor.

The population of their group is simple, with three women living alone, a family of three, and a house that has neither been sold nor rented.

And the most important thing is the rooftop.

The house can store supplies, and the rooftop can accumulate fuel. At the same time, the accumulated layer of fuel can also provide additional cold insulation and heat preservation.

But how to communicate with the neighbors living on the same floor, and how to make them realize that the next situation will become more and more serious, and it is best to start preparing for a rainy day from now on.

How to deal with the remaining empty house?

For safety reasons, should a door be installed in the passage between their floor and the floor below?

Most importantly, where does the fuel come from?

You must know that last week, coal from non-severely affected and non-stricken areas across the country was sent truck by truck to severely flooded areas, just to cremate those who unfortunately died in the floods as soon as possible and prevent the occurrence of the plague.

The same is true for coal, and the same is true for charcoal. Forget about the firewood, burn it into more durable charcoal and send it to the disaster area.

The cremation of nearly [-] million corpses requires a huge amount of fuel. There is no coal on the market here, but natural gas is available. After all, the gas pipeline is not a serious problem.

However, the excess natural gas from some factories that needed natural gas that were shut down due to high temperatures was liquefied and canned under high pressure, and sent to the disaster area overnight to cremate the bodies.

What was left that could be used as fuel... Ye Ting immediately thought of Daibaoshan, which was not too far from where she lived.

There are many trees in the mountains, so we can cut them down or use firewood, but not now.

Followed by various wooden furniture.

The price-performance ratio of wooden furniture is higher than directly cutting down trees that still contain a lot of water, but even if she bought it, she wouldn't have room to put it at home.

Want to buy another house?

But piling up a large amount of furniture might be noticed by someone who is interested, and the dry firewood she had stored for herself would be consumed in advance. When she burned part of the smokeless carbon and briquettes at home and prepared to bring back some firewood, Maybe not even a scrap of sawdust would be seen.

Or just buy a villa directly?

Ye Ting shook her head and rejected the idea again.

It is certainly good for a person to live in a villa with abundant supplies and a house as sturdy as a small fortress.

But in this case, there is no point in experiencing the apocalypse. In this case, she might as well pack up her things and return to the base as a mascot.

In addition, if a person lives in a villa almost isolated from the outside world, there is a high probability that he will miss some important news.

Ye Ting gave up the idea of ​​moving to a villa and began to think about how to get her neighbors to buy some fire-resistant hardwood furniture.

Yes, she can’t be the only one hoarding wooden furniture.

There is not enough space at home, so we must use the rooftop, and storage on the rooftop cannot be hidden from the eyes of neighbors.

She also restricted her use of mental tentacles. In addition, these days she almost only went out once to buy the daily limited supplies, and basically stayed at home.

She only had acquaintances with her neighbors and didn't know the character of these people. If they refused and then stole firewood while the people who bought wooden furniture were sheltering from the cold at home, there was nothing she could do.

——The surveillance can only be directed at the door of her own home, not the door of other people's homes. In addition, there is a certain distance between the door of her home and the iron gate of the rooftop.

If they were worse, they would tell the residents downstairs, making it known to everyone that they had stocked up on wooden furniture as firewood.

Also, when transporting wooden furniture, you may encounter other household owners or tenants in the same building, and then attract their attention...

There are indeed many problems, but in order to store more fuel to survive the winter, these problems must be solved.

The first step was to knock on the doors of the other three houses on her floor.

But it's still a bit early now, so it's not too late to come after breakfast.

With this in mind, Ye Ting went to the kitchen to boil a pot of water for herself. While waiting for the water to boil, she took out the bedding, quilts and blankets of suitable thickness that had been prepared and made the bed again.

Just as the boiling water was boiling, she poured out half a cup and mixed it with some cold mineral water to turn it into warm water. At the same time, she put a carton of milk into the remaining boiling water to warm it.

I went back to the living room and sat down on the sofa, slowly drinking warm water that was still slightly hot, while constantly changing cities in the weather forecast on my phone, recording the current temperatures in various cities from south to north.

Including those in hard-hit provinces, their current temperatures are also updated.

Think about it, temperature is a major factor that reflects the current situation, and it is not difficult to measure the current ambient temperature.

After writing the current temperatures of each province in pencil on the corresponding provinces on the administrative map, she just finished drinking the warm water.

Except for Nanhai Province, the current ambient temperature difference between the northernmost and southernmost provinces does not exceed 5 degrees Celsius.
