After the four of them finished their breakfast, they also discussed this issue.

Tang Wei is always optimistic: "It has only snowed for one night. We can wait a little longer. Maybe the snow will be lighter today. Besides, the last snow only lasted for three days. This one probably won't last much longer either."

I have to say that what Tang Wei said does make some sense.

In addition, there was not much snow outside at the moment, so Shi Jiaojiao and the other three decided to wait and see the situation.

However, the development of things was contrary to their expectations and even beyond everyone's expectations.

This snow was not only heavier than the previous one, but also lasted much longer than the last time.

A week has passed and the snow shows no sign of stopping.

Shi Jiaojiao looked out through the window. The snow outside had reached a height of one meter, and they had just cleared it yesterday.

That is to say, overnight, the snow outside reached one meter.

The actions of the base were no different from what Mu Ci had guessed.

Because snow is particularly precious now, we cannot use the previous snow-melting agents at all, and we can only rely on manpower to collect the snow every day.

This also created a number of jobs, such as snow removal workers.

Of course, the requirements for this position are also very high. First of all, you must have a healthy body, and secondly, you must have cold-proof clothing.

The job of a snowplow worker is to collect the snow every day and put it into clean boxes, and then put it into compression bags.

Because there are a large number of snow removal workers, this blizzard has not caused any harm to the base for the time being.

Of course, the wages for snow removal workers are not low either. After all, it is not easy to do hard labor while being frozen to death.

In addition to multi-grain cakes, they also received three months of free water.

Although there is a limit on the amount per person per day, it is still quite a good deal.

Seeing the staff and snow clearers at the base busy outside every day, the survivors also felt itchy.

The initial fear of being buried alive in the snow has completely dissipated. What they are thinking about now is what they should do if the base takes away all the snow?

Although the snow collected by the base will be given to ordinary survivors, it needs to be purchased with points.

Why waste those points later when there’s something free right in front of you?

However, the leaders of the base had already prepared for this. It was not that they did not allow ordinary survivors to take this opportunity to store more drinking water, but the snow outside never stopped falling, and the survivors could not withstand it without extra clothes.

Rather than getting frozen to death, it is better to wait at home peacefully. When the snow stops, the last bit of snow will definitely be left for the ordinary survivors.

Although the survivors were anxious, they were not unable to understand what people were saying.

They want to collect more snow in order to survive. If they get frostbite or freeze to death, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

However, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.

Since you can't go out, you can open the window and hang a bucket outside to catch the snow.

As time goes by, a lot of snow accumulates every day.

Another reason why ordinary survivors did not force themselves to go out was because the compression bag was not big enough.

Even if there is a lot of snow, what’s the use without compression bags?

Some survivors who are well-off may have extra compression bags, but most people have to cut back on their clothes and diet to buy one, so how can they have extra ones?

Due to various reasons, the survivors had no choice but to obey orders.

The situation in the "villa area" on the other side is much better than other places.

There are snowplows on the streets, but the snow in the yard belongs to you.

Moreover, the residents here are all well-off, so there is no need to worry about getting cold when going out to shovel snow.

Shi Jiaojiao didn't care about this little bit of water, but because she didn't want to be buried alive, she had to bite the bullet and go out to shovel snow every day.

Fortunately, even though it snowed for such a long time, the temperature did not drop too much.

It just went from minus 15 degrees to minus 20 degrees.

Otherwise, let alone shoveling snow, even going out would be a big problem.

When Jiaojiao and the other three just returned home after shoveling snow, they didn't have time to talk and the first thing they did was rush into the space to take a hot bath.

After soaking, each person drinks a bowl of ginger soup. The previous coldness is instantly dispelled, and every part of the body exudes warmth.

Tang Wei looked hopeless and asked, "How long will this snow last?"

Shi Jiaojiao held the cup and sipped the ginger soup: "Who knows."

After chatting for a while, the four of them went back to their bedroom to sleep early.

They all hoped that the snow would be lighter at night.

Otherwise, you will have to clear the snow again tomorrow morning.

The days passed one by one, but the snow still showed no sign of stopping.

Now the snow removal workers have even started to work in two shifts. There is no other way. After staying in the snow for a long time, everyone's hands and faces are covered with frostbite.

Although the base's style is now a bit tougher, it does not take human life lightly.

And recently, complaints have begun to emerge in the "villa area".

At first they were secretly happy because they owned a yard, which gave them many advantages over ordinary survivors.

But after a long time, the production team's donkeys could no longer bear it.

In this "villa area", there are as many as four or five survivors in each household, and as few as one or two. It is not an easy task to clean such a large yard every day.

They used to complain that the yard was not big enough, but now they wish it could be smaller.

And the key point is that although they have more compression bags than ordinary survivors, they are now running out of them.

If all the compression bags are used up and the snow continues to fall, where will the cleared snow be placed? What will be waiting for them?

Some residents also choose to borrow extra compression bags from their neighbors, but at a time like this, everyone is holding on to their own stock tightly, so how can they lend them out?

Tang Tianlin came over and asked several times, but Tang Wei refused every time.

Now, they are probably the only four of them who are least worried about having no place to store the snow.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

And this snow finally came to an end.

That morning, Jiaojiao had just woken up when she heard the cheers of Tang Wei and Wang Jia coming from downstairs.

I felt so happy as if I had won a lottery of five million.

After Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci went downstairs, they saw the two people's equally excited faces.

"Jiaojiao, the snow has finally stopped!" Wang Jia, who was standing by the window, turned her head and spoke with a smile.

Shi Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment. She had just come downstairs after washing up, and did not lift the curtains to look.

Now walk to the window and look out through the light of the flashlight in Wang Jia's hand.

The snow had indeed stopped!

Although there was no sun during the polar night and the sky was still dark, everyone felt that it should be a clear sky at this time, and even their mood improved.

Another thing that made Wang Jia and Tang Wei happy was that they had survived another disaster!

It’s just like playing a game. Although completing the game is still a long way off, successfully passing a small level is enough to make people happy.

Shi Jiaojiao did not pour cold water on the two of them, but she was indeed not very happy in her heart.

Have they really survived this disaster?
