The farm is on the outskirts of Xicheng, very close to Xicheng. In addition, Xicheng is only a county-level city. It took many hours to get to the county government building reads;.

Unlike Anping City, Xi City did not have so many people involved in the construction, and it has not been completed yet. Where the two of them passed along the way, several neighborhoods were pitch black, obviously no one lived there at all.

The main purpose of An Yanyi's trip is not to save people. After such a long time, there are so many people in the city, and they all point to him to report. I am afraid that a large number of people will freeze to death. He came here to make sure his parents are safe. Let's look at this side Whatever the situation, see if you can help.

As a result, the two of them ran out of space, An Yi and Zeng Ying were not there. After inquiring, they learned that they were going to inspect the situation in a nearby community. An Yanyi and Dong Peng had no choice but to change their way. However, they drank a large bowl cooked by the left-behind staff of the county government. The hot ginger soup is ready to go.

Before being exposed to the outdoors for a minute or two, An Yan was choking with the cold. Even after adding clothes and walking around for a moment, the cold still seemed to be able to invade the body at any time.

"Can you hold it?" The weather was abnormally cold, and An Yan felt that there was nothing wrong with it, which didn't mean that Dong Peng who was with him was also fine.He practiced martial arts to strengthen his body, but he had never competed in martial arts, so he didn't know, his physical fitness might be much stronger than Dong Peng's.

"Alright."

"As long as you know what's in your mind, no one can fall down now. If you can't stand it, just say it, don't force yourself." An Yanyi didn't say any more, and after explaining a word, he walked in the direction instructed by the left-behind government personnel.

Not long after he entered the community, An Yanyi heard a whining cry in the wind, sad and depressing. In fact, this is not the first time he heard it all the way here. At this time, what does this cry mean? , both of them knew that either the person was going to die soon, or he had already passed away.

It's just that they were far away before, vaguely, and couldn't hear clearly, and they disappeared with the wind after a few steps. Both of them deliberately didn't think about it. Now that they are getting closer and closer to the crying, it is impossible to ignore it.

"Dad, Mom."

Zeng Ying turned around in surprise, and followed the prestige, but the joy just rose, and then quickly went down: "What are you doing here? It's such a cold day, don't be so cold, your father and I are in good health , Okay, you’ve seen it, so go back to the house and rest. Here, here’s the key.”

After finishing speaking, he bent An Yi's elbow.

"Listen to your mother, after such a long journey, don't worry about it. It's enough for me and your mother to watch over here." Anyi twitched the corners of his mouth, but finally failed to show a smile.

The situation is terrible. Up to now, there are no less than two slaps in the face of people who directly freeze to death, let alone people with frostbite. The only hospital in the city is already overcrowded.

This is not the worst case, the air conditioner does not work is the big deal.Although each house has installed heating, but due to the relatively high temperature in the past, the coal reserves were insufficient. If the temperature suddenly started to drop a few days ago and some coal was temporarily transferred, the reserves would only be less.

This amount can last for a short time. If the severe cold weather lasts for half a year like the high temperature before, Anyi can hardly imagine the situation at that time.

The neighborhood has obviously been heated. The indoor temperature is much higher than the outside, but it is only around zero. Obviously, the heating has not been on for a long time.

As soon as An Yan took off his coat, he stepped forward to feel the pulse of his parents. It was strong and not frozen. He immediately felt relieved, and then worried about his relatives far away.

Grandpa and grandma, as long as they get through the initial period, they will be fine. The eldest brother is strong and strong. If something happens to him, at least half of the people in Shenzhou will disappear on the earth. What An Yanyi is most worried about is the eldest sister, not for others , because she was working alone in another city, and she looked good, so he was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that the hunger and cold would make people turn evil towards her, and develop evil intentions towards her elder sister.

The young old man in this family did not make it through in the end. As soon as An Yan was kicked out by his parents, before he even left the gate of the community, the crying in the wind became even more heartbreaking. An Yan stopped for a while, and later Keep going without any further hesitation until you get back to the county government compound.

The two separated at the door, Dong Peng stayed at the concierge, and An Yan went back to his parents' dormitory.

This is just the beginning, if there is no rescue, it will be hard to say what will happen here in the future reads;.

An Yanyi himself is not much better, the mobile home is just a good shelter, and has not found other uses for the time being. It is still damaged and many functions have been discounted. Zhou Junting is obviously frozen, and there is no movement in the mobile home. I am afraid Only when his life is threatened, the mobile home will actively provide protection.

Thinking of the farm covered by heavy snow, An Yan began to worry. It would be great if the mobile home also included the farm. This is the real home. It cannot continue to provide agricultural products. It is just a house. It is a bit misleading to say that it is a home.

As soon as An Yan looked at the control core floating in the sea of ​​consciousness, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was missing.In nature, leaves, flowers, and fruits all have their own unique flavors. Even if a large seed like the control core grows only one leaf, it may not look so incongruous. To put it bluntly, the control core It looks a little misshapen.

It's not that An Yanyi has tried it before, but after the leaf of the control core grows as a space gate, there is no movement anymore. No matter how much energy he inputs, it will all be returned to the mobile home. Even if the mobile home is damaged afterwards, he Neither can be repaired with energy.

So far, the World Tree and the control core are still in the same miserable state as before. They are obviously hurt and can only recover by themselves. All he can do is not to increase the burden of moving his home.

Once An Yan got used to playing games, he dared to think and do it. Although most of the games were similar and not difficult, there were a few games designed with various tasks. If the thinking was limited, such games would not be playable at all.

An Yan was trained by the game early in the morning. If the previous attempt was unsuccessful, it does not mean that he will not succeed in the future. It is likely that the preconditions have not been met.

He carefully recalled the process of the emergence of the mobile home. At the beginning, the mobile home did not go through his consent and choice at all, and the old Anjia house was automatically classified as a mobile home. No more, no less, just included the entire Anjia old house. How is it judged?There is always a basis.

If we talk about the preconditions, the farm An Yanyi already has it, but the top is bare, and there is nothing except the necessary facilities. Could it be the reason?

As soon as An Yan came back to his senses, he was interrupted by the sound of the door opening. Seeing that it was his parents, he immediately said, "Dad, it's hard to ask because there were so many people just now. How long can Xicheng's material reserves last?"

"Two months at most." An Yi's brows were tangled, and the twisted lines could almost kill mosquitoes. "The food is okay, but the main reason is that coal and other heating materials are not prepared enough. The road to Anping City must be opened as soon as possible."

"Dad, do you think this can be done? There are more people in Anping City, and Xicheng is not the only satellite city. According to the order, Xicheng has to be the last to come."

"Heh--, if it doesn't work, it will work. Otherwise, nearly ten thousand people will starve to death instead of freezing to death." Anyi smiled wryly. He also knew that as long as the weather continued to be so bad, there was little hope of asking for help from above, but he didn't try. Just try to make him give up, it's impossible.

"Your father is right. You can't give up when you do things, especially for a county magistrate like your father. Every move is related to the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people. You must set an example." Zeng Ying said to teach her youngest son.

"Mom, where do you want to go?" An Yanyi was a little dumbfounded, "I mean, don't put all your hopes on Anping City. Clearing the roads is fine, but the focus should not be on this."

"Where do you put it?" Anyi and Zeng Ying were both worried, ready to listen to the "good opinion" of their youngest son who had never cared about government affairs.

An Yan coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "Dad, Mom, you also know that I am not good at political affairs, if there is anything wrong, you just listen to it, but I still hope that you can understand my next suggestion." consider properly."

"Come on, make it so serious."

An Yanyi no longer whetted people's appetites: "Dad's most urgent task now is to gather all the citizens of Xicheng City into a few districts for centralized heating, centralized food supply, and centralized work. Those who are unwilling to work will only give them porridge to survive. They'll be fine if they don't have any problems."

"Citizens can do a lot of things, such as building greenhouses, cutting firewood on the mountain, etc. Clearing snow on the roads is just one of the tasks, and you can do reads; by the way."

As soon as An Yan finished speaking, he wanted to hear his parents' opinions, but the room was completely silent, and no one spoke.

After a long while, Anyi finally said: "Yan Yi, do you know that your words are a big taboo?"

An Yanyi said that he didn't think that much.

"Let's not talk about whether the citizens will do what the government says. If I really want to do this, I will not be far away from stepping down. There is only one situation where this approach is not only okay, but also meritorious." As the saying goes, "Unless the country is too busy to take care of itself, the order is all messed up."

"Father, even if you lose your official position, you will still be taken care of by me and your eldest brother and sister. Could it be possible for you to have a bite to eat?" An Yanyi didn't answer An Yi directly, but his meaning was already very clear, and he obviously hoped that An Yi would help him For the sake of the citizens, it is no big deal if you lose your official position.

An Yi rolled his eyes at his youngest son, this kid is easy to say, he has been in politics all his life, he is not far from retirement, and in the end he will not be guaranteed at the end of the year, and he will step down in embarrassment, how can he have the face to face others?

Removal is dismissal, and people who don't know the inside will not pursue why he was dismissed, but will only treat him with a different eye.

On the one hand, An Yi's personal future is concerned, and on the other hand, the safety of the people of Xicheng is concerned. For those who are irrelevant, this decision is easy to make. Naturally, they should choose the latter. , how can things be so easy?

"Dad, life will only be more difficult in the future." An Yanyi raised the bar again, not because he didn't consider his father's feelings, but because the existence of the mobile home gave him a premonition that something was wrong.

It was good to say before that although the meteorite natural disaster affected a wide range, it only lasted less than an hour, and it passed away in the past. After more than half a year of national reconstruction after the disaster, the social order has stabilized.

Even if the high temperature continued after that, it was only high temperature, and it was not accompanied by drought. It rained when it was supposed to rain. The food in the country's hands should be enough for the people of the whole country to use for half a year to a year.

As for the threat posed by mutated creatures, it's even smaller, and the military and police are not just for show.These things sound appalling, but they are far from the public.

It is different now. The harm brought by low temperature is obviously much more serious than that of high temperature without drought. Poor optical communication, heavy snow blocking roads, and blocking traffic are enough for people. If this snow soon Stop, that's okay, otherwise, if the localities don't get assistance from above, I'm afraid the order will collapse soon. As for what will happen after the reunification, no one can say for sure.

An Yanyi's suggestion is not only for the sake of the citizens, he also wants to strive for better living conditions for his family.No one is available. In this chaotic world, no matter how many good things there are, they can't keep them. The nearly [-] people in Xicheng are their family's support.

"Where did you get the news?" Hearing what An Yanyi said, Anyi looked at his youngest son in a wrong way.

"What else can be, of course I guess." An Yan was not guilty at all, and listed one by one what he had encountered in the past six months, "First, meteorites fell from the sky, then high temperatures, and now roads are blocked by ice and snow, and there are mutant creatures, Dad, what do you think? Is this normal?"

Anyi was silent, he knew a lot more than An Yan, but even so, he still couldn't make a decision, obviously he thought more than his younger son.Even if he puts aside his future and thinks wholeheartedly for the sake of the citizens, the matter will not be so simple. All parties must coordinate well, especially the armed police brigade responsible for the safety of Xicheng, which is equivalent to a simplified battalion-level organization. Tying them to the same warship is a difficult matter, and troubles are possible.

"Dad, do you have the food in your hands?"

"Well, I've sent extra people to watch over it."

"That's good. There's no need to rush this matter. You can think about it slowly and see the situation first." An Yanyi didn't push any further. Although his starting point was for his own good, maybe he wasn't thoughtful enough. There are many problems in the Internet, and if someone is assigned to do a special job, he, an amateur, should not point out the country in front of an insider, maybe it is really his self-righteous reads;.

"It's still some time before dawn, you can sleep for a while." Zeng Ying got up, "I'll call Dong Peng up."

"Mom, you rest, I'll take care of this matter." An Yan took his coat and put it on, went downstairs and brought Dong Peng up, and the two rested in the guest room.

At this time, it was past two o'clock in the morning, which was the coldest time of the day, but there were still many people with lights on, indicating that the night was not peaceful.

At three o'clock in the morning, the lights in several neighborhoods went out at the same time. It goes without saying what this means.The other neighborhoods didn't last long. Before five o'clock in the morning, the entire Xicheng was in darkness. Not to mention street lights, there were only a few houses with candles and the like.

This time, An Yan didn't sleep well, and woke up at seven o'clock, but he couldn't see his fingers. He pulled down the desk lamp, and it didn't turn on. He pressed the switch on the wall, but the lamp didn't respond.

An Yan frowned, forgetting that the air conditioner is out of order, and there is no electricity, which adds to the chaos. Not to mention the city people, even the rural people like to cook with rice cookers. If it can't be done, you can only use gas stoves, coal stoves and the like.

In this regard, Xicheng has an advantage. Citizens use canned gas instead of piped gas. As long as it is not too unlucky, the gas in the gas tank is almost used up, so save it and use it for ten and a half days. Months shouldn't be a problem.

As soon as An Yan came to the living room with a flashlight, he saw a note posted on the refrigerator. He stepped forward to look, only to find out that his parents had gone out, and left a meal for him and Dong Peng to warm up for them to eat after getting up.

As soon as An Yan went to the kitchen, Dong Peng also got dressed and went out.

After breakfast, the two sat in the living room and waited, planning to leave at dawn.

Unexpectedly, when it was nearly nine o'clock, the sky still didn't see the slightest light. An Yan thought badly, and immediately left a note to his parents, telling them to go to the farm to find him if he could. They tried their best to support them, so they took Dong Peng, and the two returned along the same road.

The snow is still falling, and there is no sign of stopping. The footprints left before can only be seen as shallow ones. It will not be long before they will be completely covered by the heavy snow without leaving any traces.

The snow that had not yet reached the knees had spread to the knees and pricked up overnight.

It is even more inconvenient for the two of them to move. It seems that after today, if they don't think about it, it may be difficult for them to travel.

In this kind of weather, it is easy for people to lose their way. Fortunately, the farm is on the outskirts of the city, otherwise the two of them would not be able to tell the difference between the south, the west, and the north in the heavy snow.

An old house.

Zhou Junting didn't wake up until six o'clock in the morning. He didn't realize what happened at all. He didn't notice anything abnormal until he stretched his hand out of the bed to turn on the light, and the biting chill was transmitted to his brain through his exposed hand.

But it was not over yet, he pressed the switch, the light didn’t turn on, Zhou Junting woke up immediately, he groped to the other side of the bed, it was empty, found the phone in the dark, but couldn’t turn it on, he panicked for a moment, then years of experience in shopping malls made him calm down , the more this is the case, the more calmness is needed, panic will only make things worse.

The quilt is very warm, and even the place where An Yanyi should be sleeping next to him is only a little cooler than the place where he sleeps, and the touch is even more different. Combined with the ultra-low room temperature, Zhou Junting guessed that he should be sleeping in An's old house now. The upstairs bedroom is on the Kang.

In such a daze, there was a rustling sound from the foot of the bed, Zhou Junting listened attentively, and did not feel flustered.Since An Yan let him stay here alone, it means that this place is safe, and there will be no unidentified objects on the kang. Such a small noise probably comes from the two little guys, Spot and Banban.

It's strange to say that these two tortoises were what they were when Zhou Junting bought them, and they are still what they are now. After more than half a year, they haven't grown any bigger.You must know that the leopard tortoise is not a small tortoise. It is only an ordinary body when it grows to half a meter as an adult, and it is not impossible to be bigger. Now it is only palm-length. I really don’t know that these two can eat all the turtle food Which reads;.

After confirming that the noise came from the two turtles, Zhou Junting put on his clothes in the dark.

There was no light in the room at all, so he could only judge whether the clothes were worn backwards or not by the touch on the back of the clothes. As for the front and back, it was easy to do, just look for the label to confirm.

"Huh, how can I see it?" Zhou Junting squinted slightly, looking at the only light source in the room.

Spot was struggling with the small quilt on his body, and it took a long time to struggle out the half of the turtle's body. The faint light came from the turtle's back, and there seemed to be some stars twinkling on it, which was extremely unstable. Dark, every change, the brightness is different.

It's easy to handle with light, even weak light. Zhou Junting quickly tidied himself up, walked over and held the spot in his hand, and as the second half of the turtle shell was exposed, the brightness was fully doubled, but no matter how bright it was, it would be too bright. In the low-light range, it is not as good as an incandescent lamp with only a few watts.

The leopard tortoise is afraid of the cold, but since Spot wanted to leave its warm nest, Zhou Junting did not force it to stay in the quilt pile. Animals have more sensitive senses than humans, and they will find a place suitable for their own survival. He naturally knew how to deal with it, so he wasn't worried.

Zhou Junting put his eyes on Banban, who had not moved yet, and saw that its abdomen was rising and falling slightly, so he felt relieved, moved it towards the heart of the kang, and then got up to look for the flashlight.

Zhou Junting rarely comes to this room, but the layout is similar to the master bedroom on the second floor, and the arrangement of items is also the same. He quickly found a rechargeable desk lamp in the bedside table. After installing the battery, the whole room instantly became bright, and the light on Spot It is no longer visible, if it is not for the light on its back that is still flickering, it is easy to ignore it.

Zhou Junting had already made enough preparations, but he didn't expect that when he opened the door, the oncoming cold air was beyond his expectations. Even though he was wearing a thick coat, he still couldn't block the biting cold wind outside.

Zhou Junting tightened his clothes, closed the door, went back to the room, put Spot next to Banban as a companion, turned off the desk lamp, put on a portable searchlight and pushed the door out.

At this time, the snow in the courtyard has almost covered the third step, and there are shallow marks of several pedestrians walking on it. Judging from the depth of the footprints, it should have been a while.

Zhou Junting's eyebrows twitched, with a bad premonition. Sure enough, when he found a room next to him, he learned from Liu Dingshan who got up to answer the door that An Yanyi and Dong Peng went to Xicheng to visit his parents overnight. , I haven't returned yet, I don't know if I was staying overnight, or...

Zhou Junting didn't think about it, and immediately put aside this bad idea.The farm is on the edge of Xicheng, An Yanyi left last night, the snow was not so thick at that time, two people with good skills, the possibility of accidents is very small, there is no need for him to scare himself.

Without this layer of worries, Zhou Junting immediately returned to his previous state. The first thing was to understand the current situation, and then he began to count the material reserves of the dormitory building, and formulated a three-meal plan according to Jiang Tao's suggestion.

Zhou Junting's knowledge of outside information is limited, but he is used to leaving a way out for everything. It is obviously impossible to open up food and drink like before. What is going on outside will not be known until An Yan returns. Now he is preparing for the worst situation.

At 07 o'clock, it was not bright, and at 30:[-], the charging light went out. Zhou Junting replaced the battery again, held the dead battery in his hand and watched it carefully. He didn't see what was going on, so he tried it on another charging lamp. , the light is off, make sure the battery power is exhausted.

Zhou Junting narrowed his eyes slightly, hoping it wasn't what he thought, otherwise he would be in trouble.

Things are often independent of people's will. After another hour or so, the charging light went out again, and the expressions of all the people present changed.If it's just that the power loss of the battery is accelerating, it's okay to say, but I'm afraid that the power generated by the generator will be greatly reduced in efficacy.

"I'll try to develop a motor." Liu Dingshan got up and connected the line of An's old house to the diesel generator.

After a while, the room was shrouded in familiar light, but everyone couldn't laugh. The power generation power dropped significantly, and the efficiency was less than half of what it was before. And with the passage of time, the power generation power was still declining slowly. Although the magnitude was not large, it was Always frightening.
