The next morning, Shi Jiaojiao had just woken up, her mind was still fuzzy, but she had already reached out to grope for the thermometer that she had placed on the bedside table the night before.

As soon as she moved, Mu Ci also woke up. He looked at Shi Jiaojiao's movements, got up and put on his clothes, then wrapped Shi Jiaojiao in a quilt like a big silkworm cocoon.

After making sure his beloved girlfriend wouldn't be blown by the wind, he picked up the thermometer and walked towards the window.

When he took the thermometer outside the window back again, Shi Jiaojiao, who was wrapped in the quilt on the bed, had disappeared.

He was already used to this kind of supernatural phenomenon, so he just sat by the bed and waited.

Five or six minutes later, Shi Jiaojiao came out of the space after hurriedly washing up, and the collapsed quilt instantly bulged up again.

Shi Jiaojiao first poked her head out from under the quilt, then directly lifted the quilt open.

When she was in the space, she had changed into thick clothes and was not afraid of catching a cold at all.

But when she saw the number on the thermometer, she exclaimed in surprise.

A night has passed, but the temperature is still at minus 15 degrees Celsius.

The temperature dropped at the rate it did yesterday, which really shouldn't have happened.

She took the thermometer and Mu Ci and went downstairs directly.

At this time, Wang Jia and Tang Wei were already sitting in the living room, warming themselves by the stove.

Although it was not cold at night, they did not know what was happening in the outside world across the wall, and they could not sleep well, so they got up early.

As soon as Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci came down, Wang Jia quickly poured two cups of hot tea and handed them to them.

No matter how the outside world changes, their health is the most important.

Although they have no shortage of medicine now, every time they get sick they lose their energy, which cannot be replenished by taking medicine or supplements.

After Shi Jiaojiao took the cup, she handed the thermometer directly to the two of them.

Wang Jia and Tang Wei were also confused when they saw the numbers on the thermometer.

Fifteen degrees below zero, this temperature is not considered low, whether before or after the apocalypse.

Not to mention freezing to death, at this temperature, a survivor who is more cold-resistant wouldn't even need a down jacket.

So what does this temperature mean now?

Just to scare humans?

But on second thought, the experience of the past few years has taught them that God never does anything in vain.

The two leaned against each other, frowning, and carefully thinking about what conspiracy God had planned this time.

Shi Jiaojiao took a sip of tea and said, "Don't frown. I can't figure it out now. It's better to test it again later."

Although she was a little unsure, she was much calmer than before.

Not only because she has a lot of experience, but also the space gives her enough confidence.

Anyway, as long as they didn't die instantly, the four of them would always find a way to survive.

It's pretty good here, or rather their "villa area". No matter what, everyone's family conditions are good and they have no shortage of heating equipment.

But ordinary survivors are not so comfortable.

A lot of effort was put into the construction of the base, and the heating facilities were designed in advance.

Of course, apart from the fact that it costs an extra amount of points, collective heating also has a disadvantage, which is that the temperature rises slowly.

But there is nothing we can do about it. After all, the staff at the base are not doing nothing. They are working around the clock. How can they slow down the temperature rise?

So ordinary survivors can only stay at home, put on all their clothes and quilts, and pray that the temperature will not drop further.

Those survivors who were going to work were also slowed down by the drop in temperature.

Not everyone has enough clothes to support them out of the house.

Fifteen degrees below zero is not cold, but when the temperature drops so suddenly, the human body needs some time to accept it.

Besides, who can say for sure that now is the lowest temperature?

If the temperature drops sharply while I am walking on the road like it did yesterday, I will probably be frozen into an ice sculpture before I even reach the office.

So early this morning, many positions were vacant, all due to people asking for leave.

These survivors are also worried. They cannot go to work normally and will not receive any points. Add to that the changes outside, and when all their savings are gone, will they have nothing to lose?

The base, which had been operating normally, was forced to stop.

Shi Jiaojiao and the other three had just finished breakfast when they heard a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw soldiers from the patrol standing outside.

The soldiers all put on thick cold-proof clothes and used machines to scan the ID cards of Shi Jiaojiao and the other three one by one.

The purpose of their special trip was also to prevent any accidents from happening to the survivors.

Although the temperature of minus fifteen degrees Celsius is not very low, it is a sudden drop of more than twenty degrees overnight. It is normal for some people to suffer from hypothermia.

Especially now that there are quite a few survivors in the base, the entire base is almost full and there are not many vacant rooms.

If there is no response when you knock on the door, something must have happened.

There is no need to ask anything else next. The correct thing to do is to break into the house, drag the body out and dispose of it as soon as possible.

After scanning the ID card, several soldiers began to ask routine questions, such as whether you are sick or have any abnormal body temperature.

It would be best if everything is normal. If you are showing signs of illness, you will need to be quarantined at home.

However, this is also a privilege for residents of this "villa area". After all, there are few people living here and there is no need to worry about cross-infection.

As for the ordinary survivors outside, they are not treated so well. Once they fall sick, they will all be taken away for isolation. The resettlement point is familiar to everyone, it is right next to the exchange.

The area there is relatively large and the heating facilities are complete, making it the best place to isolate patients.

There is no other way. The base is responsible for so many lives, we have to be cautious.

After finishing the record here, the soldiers hurried away and knocked on the door next door.

Shi Jiaojiao looked at a little soldier whose cheeks were red from the cold, and asked, "Did you bring cups with you when you came out?"

The little soldier was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I brought it."

When they came out to carry out the mission, the base did not treat them unfairly and provided them with thermos cups.

But after such a long time, the water in the thermos gradually lost its heat.

Shi Jiaojiao said directly: "Give me the cup, I'll get you some hot water."

The little soldier felt a little embarrassed. The whole base was short of water. How could they take advantage of the survivors for nothing?

Shi Jiaojiao said, "It's okay. If it's convenient for you to patrol in the future, just pay more attention to our area."

Having said this, the little soldier didn't refuse anymore and went back to the car to get the cup.

However, he did not take down everyone's cups, only one, so that they could share the drink later.

Shi Jiaojiao took the cups back home. It was not convenient to take out anything else, but she could still give them some brown sugar water to drink.

She directly filled a bottle with brown sugar water and handed it to Tang Wei to send out.

These soldiers work so hard, and every time a disaster occurs, the first to step forward are always these hardworking soldiers.

Although she cannot be so selfless, it does not stop her from admiring these lovely people.

She couldn't help with anything else, but she hoped that this little bit of brown sugar water could give those soldiers a little sweetness during these difficult days.

It is precisely because of them that China has been able to survive until now in the apocalypse.

Some small countries, especially a famous island country, had volcanic eruptions when it was extremely hot, killing more than half of the residents. The remaining ones probably didn't even survive the polar day, and now only one in a thousand is still alive.

Well, how is this not retribution?
