Not long after returning from Zhang's house with the lunch box, Gu Tongwan clearly felt that the temperature was dropping rapidly. The ignition was not turned off when the car was parked downstairs of Zhang's house. Logically, the hood should still be warm, but when he touched the hood slightly before driving, he found that it was abnormally cold.

I don't know if she was mistaken, but normally temperatures of minus twenty degrees Celsius wouldn't make it difficult to start a car.

It was 11:30 in the morning. According to the agreement, I had to deliver lunch to Xu Hang. On the road, I could occasionally see pedestrians rushing home after get off work. Everyone had their hands in their coat pockets, and they walked with their necks hunched and their heads down. It was so cold that they had to keep walking forward to prevent their body temperature from dropping completely.

While driving, I glanced at the temperature displayed on my phone. It was minus 29 degrees Celsius, three degrees lower than when I left home in the morning. But the temperature would rise between 11 noon and 2 o'clock every day, but it dropped today.

The snow on the road today is about ten centimeters high, and you can see cleaners arranged by the base manually shoveling snow from the road.

Before I even reached the destination, I received a call from Liao Yunyun.

Liao Yunyun [Wanwan, did you go out today? ]

Gu Tongwan [Yes, I am delivering lunch boxes now.]

Liao Yunyun: [Then you should close the shop and go home after you deliver the goods. I just received a message saying that the temperature in Jiangcheng may drop sharply this afternoon, and the lowest temperature may reach minus 40 degrees Celsius. Our company has already given us a holiday in advance, and before the holiday, the company also prepared 20 kilograms of charcoal and 30 kilograms of rice for everyone as a year-end welfare. It seems that we will have to stay at home for a while.]

Gu Tongwan [Is your information reliable? ]

Liao Yunyun [I can't say it's 100% reliable, but our director is an old fox. He only cares about overtime and performance. If it weren't for an emergency, he would never give us a holiday so early. Let me tell you, not only our unit, but also several units downstairs have started to let people go back for vacation today. I think this news is probably true.]

Gu Tongwan [But hasn't the Meteorological Bureau announced the news yet? ]

Liao Yunyun: [Tsk, let me tell you, the weather forecast of the Meteorological Bureau is for ordinary people to see, but in fact the news is always delayed. Those high-ranking government officials and powerful people get first-hand information. I suggest you go home now. What if the news is true? It's minus 40 degrees. People outside will be frozen into popsicles.]

Gu Tongwan [If the temperature is really minus forty degrees, can you survive at home? Or... why don't you move to my place and live for a while? ]

Liao Yunyun [Not yet. I have stored enough charcoal at home to last a month. I am not short of food for the time being. As for water, I also bought three boxes of mineral water in advance. It shouldn’t freeze completely if I put it in my room. You gave me an electric blanket and a heater last time. Oh, by the way, Chen Yanxi also gave me two heaters. These are enough. Let me tell you, I went to Siberia for a camper tour. Although I took a hitchhiking trip, the temperature there was also minus 40 degrees Celsius. I was outdoors at the time, but I survived like that. ]

Gu Tongwan [You were in an RV with all kinds of facilities at that time, but now it is the end of the world, conditions are limited, and you have to rely on yourself for everything. If the temperature in Jiangcheng continues to drop, then Jiangcheng will eventually become a lifeless city of ice and snow, and the death rate will also rise sharply.

Thinking of this, Gu Tongwan immediately parked the car on the side of the road and sent messages to people he knew, including those at the guesthouse, the Zhang family, and even Chen Yanxi, Jiang Tian, ​​and Jiang Zhi. No matter what, he hoped that everyone could get through this extreme cold weather in peace.

After handing the lunch box to Xu Hang personally, Gu Tongwan told him that the temperature might continue to drop sharply.

Xu Hang was still a little skeptical: "Can the temperature get any lower? The last time it was the coldest in Extreme Cold River City, it was also over 40 degrees below zero. Is it the same this time?"

"This is the information we know so far, but the details are still unclear. But it's better to be prepared in advance."

"You're right. I'll go back and tell my colleagues. However, since it's gotten cold recently, everyone has been staying in the dormitory. No one wants to go out when the weather gets cold. By the way, if the temperature drops significantly, do you have to temporarily close your store, boss lady?" Xu Hang was still worried about his lunch boxes. He was looking forward to eating something good every day.

Gu Tongwan had also thought about this question, and could only answer at the moment: "We have no plans to close the store for the time being. We need to see the temperature first. If it is just a big drop in temperature without snow, we will only shorten the store's daily business hours. But if it snows at the same time as the temperature drops, we won't be able to go out."

After saying goodbye to Xu Hang, I rushed back to the store. While still in the car, I saw Luo Mei surrounded by several girls in the store, and they seemed to be arguing fiercely.
