Apocalyptic Tundra Age

Xu Zhonglei faced the howling wind, the wind was very dry, there was no water vapor in it, only the dust that rolled up from nowhere, covered his face, and even made a scrub SPA for his face, it hurts to ask, really pain.

The chickens in the chicken coop were all huddled together, squatting in a corner into a ball, and the temperature inside was very low. Xu Zhonglei felt that once he entered the chicken coop, he was like entering a cold cellar, and there were cold words in all directions.

Chickens need to sleep at night. Without light, the eyesight of chickens is very poor. Night is the time when they have the least fighting power.But seeing someone coming in, the old hen with a big head and a big black head immediately stood up vigilantly, glanced at them with her wise little eyes, and then retreated back to sleep.

The two left a sizzling stove for the chilly chicken coop.

During the day, Xu Zhonglei put two steel stoves in the vegetable field. I don’t know if it’s because of two reasons. They have persisted until now, and there are still a few sporadic flames. This is great news, and you can add them directly. Wood chips and briquettes, no need to re-burn the fire.

This steel stove lasts for a long time and has a strong heating capacity, but it is also a big energy consumer. Generally speaking, only about four briquettes are enough for a family to use for 24 hours, but this guy, every stove has a big belly Five pieces of briquettes and three pieces of compressed wood chips. According to the manufacturer's statement, one piece of compressed wood chips is worth one and a half pieces of coal. Calculated, such a whole furnace needs nearly ten pieces of briquettes.

When using the stove before, Xu Zhonglei felt sorry for the energy and only filled half or one third of it.Now they can only rely on them to protect their own vegetables and meat. Xu Zhonglei can only work harder. I just hope that these uncles can burn for a while. After all, this is a magic weapon advertised by Taobao merchants. After Xu Zhonglei starved to death, he also gave his family a bad review.

After the two of them finished their work, they moved the blades of the wind turbine that had fallen outside back home, and then they were going to go to the kitchen to light the fire and the big kang inside the house.

"I'll go. I've grown up in Guang'an for so many years, but I've never seen such a strong wind. This kind of cold wind is really different in the north..." Cheng Yuming went back to the room and rubbed his hands vigorously, and then used After kneading his face with less stiff hands for a while, he felt that he could regain control of his muscles and began to speak.

"This is not the north side, and I rarely see such a strong wind." Xu Zhonglei closed the door, ready to go to the boiler room to light a fire, and went directly outside.

"Brother, I'll go with you!" Cheng Yuming hurried to follow, sharing adversity with wealth and wealth, and lighting a fire in a cold boiler room is also a kind of sharing adversity.

"Ah, then think about what porridge we will have tomorrow morning, let's cook it together! There is a big pot, don't waste energy."

"..." Cheng Yuming went to look in the kitchen cabinet, and had an idea in his mind, "Eat a white-cut chicken with porridge? There is just half a chicken left, steam the white chicken on it, put sesame oil, sesame oil, chili oil, shallots, and It is spicy and refreshing, and the porridge will be boiled next, it will be thick, nourishing the stomach and delicious."

A voice drifting in the strong wind came from outside the house: "Stop talking! I want to eat now!"

***

Shredded chicken with porridge is really delicious, but it’s a bit too early. Xu Zhonglei looked at the time and found that it was 04:30 after the fire was lit. He might as well finish his breakfast and return to the pot to rest for a while. It won't stop for a while.

"Brother, Brother Stone, listen, what's that sound?" Xu Zhonglei was washing the dishes, Cheng Yuming walked to the kitchen and pulled him to the kitchen window.

Outside the window, the strong wind seemed to stop suddenly, no longer knocking on the window to make a dull sound.

But up there, a little, a little...

"click" "click"

It was like what Xu Zhonglei heard when he was playing games. It was the sound of Zerg giving birth and gnawing on the human body.In the sky, slowly gather and combine, and then change from crisp to low and depressing!

Then the change in the sky seemed to have been completed, and it returned to silence.

For a moment, it seemed that the whole world was quiet.

It's still too dark outside, and I can't actually see anything from the window, except for the sound of dishwashing water flowing into the sewer.

"I want to see why the wind stopped?" Cheng Yuming made a gesture to open the window.

Xu Zhonglei felt a familiar sense of danger in his heart, just like a patient who had been in a car accident, facing a speeding car with horror: "Don't go!" Without thinking, Xu Zhonglei quickly grabbed Cheng Yuming's hand and stopped It made him open the window.

Over there, the voice outside changed again.The wind seemed to be more violent than before, and it rushed directly to Xu Zhonglei's small window. From the sight of the two of them, ice flowers quickly condensed on the glass, and the ice flowers became thicker and thicker. Soon the whole window was taken up, and they could see nothing.

There is the "click" sound of ice cubes freezing rapidly in my ears, on the small balcony above my head, on the wind turbines on the roof, on the walls of the entire house...

Slowly, the condensed "click" sound disappeared, and their world returned to tranquility, so quiet that it was wabi-sabi.

"I feel...we seem to be...surrounded by ice." Cheng Yuming maintained the movement of opening the window for a long time, and slowly spit out a sentence.

"You don't need to think, be confident, and remove all the six words in front of you."

Xu Zhonglei was chatting coquettishly while pulling people back to the living room, and turned on the electric oven that he had bought for a long time but had never seen before. At that moment, the temperature in the room dropped rapidly. Bitter cold.

Cheng Yuming seemed to be in a panic. The tall man of about 1.8 meters was stupidly holding on to the big window of the living room, trying to look out.

Xu Zhonglei didn't care about him, he was cooking by the fire, and all kinds of thoughts were flying in his mind.

First of all, when he took refuge in that village with Zigui, he remembered very clearly that the cold current first reached the tops of the big trees in the forest, and he could see the tops of the trees, so it must be daytime, so there is nothing to say.The direction of the sun is in the west, and the probability is still in the afternoon.

But here, in the wee hours of the morning, the cooling begins; now it's only five o'clock, and the freezing is coming.

Xu Zhonglei racked his brains, and probably found an explanation for this abnormality from geography books—at least it was more scientific.There is a straight-line distance of nearly 1000 kilometers from that small village, and the junction of Guang'an Province and this province is protected by natural mountains;

Therefore, the super cold air flow from the north of the province and the slightly warmer air entrenched in the local area converge in the basin here, turning into a walking ice machine, which is now working overtime and rushing forward.This afternoon - if it is still possible, this little girl, Zigui, will be able to see this group of cold air from the north.

The current him, and Cheng Yuming who was lying on the window sill, couldn't do anything.Prayers and blessings for the distant place can't stop this air mass, he himself is waiting for its departure, worrying about the mushrooms and weak vegetables that are close at hand.

No one can face the mighty power of nature.
