Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Because of the sudden drop in extreme cold, the entire base was instantly semi-paralyzed, but other spheres of influence outside the base were also attacked by the cold.

Over at the homeless camp, brother and sister Cai Min and Cai Gong were busy building a plastic shed in the fields. If they couldn't protect some of the growing vegetables in a short period of time, they were afraid that more than a dozen acres of land would be barren.

"We have to hurry up. If it's any later, there won't be much left." Cai Min gritted his teeth and put up the plastic shed weighing dozens of kilograms on the ground. Inside were potatoes that had been planted a few months ago. These potatoes would mature in half a month. Who would have thought that the potatoes would be frozen in such weather.

"Sister, isn't this a heat-resistant and cold-resistant potato? When I bought the seeds, the boss told me that it's okay to plant them at minus seventy degrees." Cai Gong asked with some confusion.

"No problem, bullshit. Do you believe what the boss said? If the temperature is really minus 70 degrees, it's impossible to grow any crops in the soil. Now the soil below minus 38 degrees is already mixed with ice chips. The bean sprouts that just sprouted a few days ago were all frozen to death this morning. The other crops are in a similar situation. Fortunately, I picked the tomatoes and cucumbers in advance this morning because I was afraid that the temperature would continue to drop."

"What should we do? The higher-ups have been urging us to hand in the year-end crops as soon as possible, but now we have nothing."

Cai Gong counted the goods with Cai Min in the morning. In the past few months, they had harvested 200 kilograms of tomatoes and more than 100 kilograms of cucumbers. The latest batch of potatoes was only three large baskets. The other fruits and green leafy vegetables were basically all lost in the recent heavy snowfalls.

"Don't worry. Even if we are held responsible, it's not just our family. There are several vegetable bases in the basement that have encountered the same situation as us. They are not much better off. We should still have some potatoes and cabbages in our cellar. We have to eat sparingly in the coming days. As long as this heavy snow does not stop, I'm afraid we will have to be on edge all day long."

"This... isn't that serious. It's just snowing. Didn't we survive the winters before we entered the camp? We just ate simple porridge and vegetables. We weren't starving to death. Besides, we still have a lot of rice and wheat stored this year. It's better than before anyway." Cai Gong felt that Cai Min was worrying too much. Now that they had a house to live in and heating was not a problem for the time being, he really didn't think there was anything to worry about this snow.

"What I'm worried about is that this is not just snowing. Haven't you heard that the temperature in the north has now reached minus 50 degrees Celsius? Our Jiangcheng is originally located in the south. If the temperature drops so much all of a sudden, many people will be frozen to death." Cai Min glanced at the sky not far away. It was also white, but there was only one area with a layer of black. However, it was not dark clouds, but more like a crack in the sky, as if something would come out of it.

Cai Gong curled his lips. He didn't find his sister's statement surprising at all. Not to mention the extremely cold weather, many people died in the camp during the acid rain period some time ago. They were all exposed to acid rain, which caused their skin to rot, and they didn't use medicine in time. As a result, they died before they were taken to the rescue station. He was sent to the team to assist in burning the bodies, and there were at least dozens of people.

"This is the last minute. I'll go back to have lunch and then finish paving the last two acres of land." Cai Min glanced at the time on his watch. It was eleven fifteen.

At 11:25, the Cai siblings came back from the fields. As soon as they entered the yard, Cai Min suddenly saw her husband running out of the house with a frightened look on his face.

"Minmin, come in quickly!"
