Apocalyptic Tundra Age

Open the door is a word: cold!

The strong wind carried ice crystals into Xu Zhonglei's neck. It turned out that the sound of snow falling just now was not snow, but the temperature was so low that the water vapor directly skipped the melting snow and turned into small ice crystals. Hit the ground.

It was so cold that Xu Zhonglei gave up his resentment about the price of Canada Goose just now, and wished to immediately take the money to the merchant and change into a professional Antarctic down jacket. His mind kept sending out SOS: go back!Let's go back!You southern dog, why don't you shrink back in such a cold day?I don't want to work anymore, I can't stand this anger!

On the contrary, two dogs quickly ran out from the crack of the door and had fun in the big yard, and Radu couldn't hold them back.

"Sled dogs, racial advantage... I can't do it anymore, my ears are about to fall off!"

Before Xu Zhonglei started to retreat, Cheng Yuming retreated into the room first, dragging Xu Zhonglei into the room.

"Bang!" Cheng Yuming said in his heart, this door is closed by wind, so it doesn't close with me at all!

"Humans are not as good as dogs. Their fur is really frost-resistant!" Xu Zhonglei rubbed his hands tremblingly. After all, he had seen the cold current on Zigui at that time, but he had never felt it himself!He is just a poor southerner who has never seen heavy snow!

"Brother, do you have a hat?" Cheng Yuming asked after taking a sip of water.

"Casual hat? That kind of... can't be done!" Xu Zhonglei thought of a hat with a brim in the front and a big hole in the back in his closet. He felt the temperature outside and the ice crystals, and felt very hanging.

"Ah... go out for half a second, the hat will have to fly into the sky."

"..." Xu Zhonglei also regretted it. He bought shoes, socks and even Northeast cotton trousers. Why did he forget to buy a hat!

When going out for the second time, the two put on new equipment: waterproof thick mid-length shoes, and wrapped two layers of towels on their heads, with only the nose and eyes exposed. The effect was immediate.The brain stopped sending out SOS, and the smart IQ once again occupied the high ground.

The mushroom room we went to first, to be honest, the scene was not as tragic as Xu Zhonglei imagined, the temperature and humidity were normal, and the mushrooms had grown a small circle in just a few hours.

There is a small red column on the thermometer outside the mushroom house, which is already pointing at minus 25 degrees; but the thermometer inside the mushroom house shows 18 degrees.That steel stove is really awesome!Xu Zhonglei only bought six such useful things from Houhai. If he could add another ten or so, he would have the confidence to build a vegetable greenhouse bigger than a bird's nest!

What's more, when the lid inside was opened, the fuel inside was not burning brightly, and the fuel inside was released quickly; instead, it was burning slowly, and there was still a piece of briquette and two pieces of compressed wood chips that had not been burned out.

That's real cowhide!

The two were relieved.Cheng Yuming started to do the necessary work every day, selecting excellent large mushrooms and knocking the small spores under their umbrellas onto the new medium; picking all kinds of mushrooms that had grown up and putting them in small baskets; and then spraying the cultivation soil to prepare Good nutrient solution; even in such a cold day, you need to use a watering can to sprinkle water around to ensure the humidity of the environment.

Xu Zhonglei took the super-large back basket that he usually used for chopping firewood and digging soil, and went to the fuel houses next door to load a large basket of compressed wood chips and briquettes, and put them in the houses with steel stoves.

The situation of the vegetable house is even more serious. This is a newly built house. According to the previous standards, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a shoddy and dilapidated house. Therefore, the connection of the roof and the connection of the wind turbine are inevitable. The air vent was opened, and the cold wind from outside poured in, freezing the chickens in the chicken coop dumbfounded.

When Xu Zhonglei came in, none of the dozens of chickens begged for food viciously with the boss, especially since it was connected to a generator, and there were so many and big vents.

The steel stove in the chicken coop was also nearly exhausted.

Xu Zhonglei quickly filled the three steel stoves here with fuel, and released all the chickens locked in the luxury chicken coop to let them exercise a little in the room, and then dug out some rice bran, feed and other things to feed the chickens, and wrote down a few for himself. At the point of air leakage, prepare to fill the hole with cement a little bit.

There is only a small hole in the vent, so that Xu Zhonglei can't suffocate when he comes in.

As the temperature dropped rapidly, Xu Zhonglei had a lot of things to do. He had to take care of the vegetable seedlings that hadn’t germinated, and put down the plastic film for them on time; The water froze as soon as it was pulled over. It was really a nightmare, so I had to quickly go to the house to get a big bucket of water out, and pour it when the water didn’t notice that it was not frozen;

The good news is that the wind is so strong that even two wind turbines can generate enough electricity to turn on the grow lights.

So without doing anything, Xu Zhonglei didn't bother to install another wind turbine on the roof, and directly connected the battery of the broken wind turbine to another good generator.

If an American did this, he would definitely get a ticket from the electric company: did not assemble the machine according to the instructions.But for now, stay where it's cool.

Agricultural practitioners generally abide by the daily routine of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

But Xu Zhonglei is different from Cheng Yuming. Towels are not suitable for wearing around the head for a long time (the same is true for bath towels). Too short and too thick are not suitable for work.During the half-break at night, they had to knit their own hats out of wool.

Yes, Xu Zhonglei didn't buy the scarf either.Alas, the most careful preparation strategy for the doomsday supplies on the entire network, even forgot to add a super warm hat and scarf. If there is still the Internet, Xu Zhonglei will have to buy a navy to brush his critical comments to the top.

Even Xu Zhonglei himself found it miraculous that he actually bought wool!One purchase is still a big box!It also comes with several crochet hooks and metal long needles of different sizes!I even bought a lot of sewing threads and needles of various colors!There is also an antique foot-operated sewing machine!

Human Behavior Award.

If you don't buy good things from others, you have to make them yourself!ah?Are you that material?

Xu Zhonglei scolded himself fiercely while crocheting according to the steps in the manual, crazy!Can't be angry, can't be angry!I was too angry, my hands shook, and I had to start all over again.

"Boom! Boom!" "Brother Stone!... Open the door!"

"Did you hear anything?" Xu Zhonglei asked with a hook. He vaguely heard something, but it was vague and inaudible. He suspected that he was hallucinating. Cheng Yuming's hearing was much better than Xu Zhonglei's.

"Don't! Brother, don't disturb me. I'm only hooking the fifth stitch! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"Don't talk..." Xu Zhonglei made a silent gesture.

"Boom! Bang!" That was the loud sound of something hitting the alloy plate on the roof of the vegetable house.

"Damn it! It's knocking on the door again, who are you in this village! It's too much, it's such a big night! I haven't finished my hat yet!" Cheng Yuming cursed and put on the gear for going out, ready Go out and do a big job.

When Xu Zhonglei reacted, the guy even wrapped the towel back on his face.

"Boom!" That was the sound of closing the door.

There was also a faint sentence in the wind, "Who! Who is so wicked! He did something like smashing things..."

"Little bastard!..."

When Xu Zhonglei also changed his equipment and left the gate, the tense atmosphere was completely gone, and Cheng Yuming had already pulled him into the yard.

The person who came was relatively thin, with no protection on his head, and he was not wearing thick clothes. He was shivering from the cold, his lips were purple, and he seemed to be too cold to control his facial nerves. He opened his mouth, what did he say? Can't tell.

Cheng Yuming pushed the person in, and said, "I remember this child, he seems to be the son of Dr. Zeng! He changed my medicine, and he was the one who hit the roof. I saw the stone in his hand. When he passed by, he was still going to smash it. Hey, you said you kid, didn’t you think about what to do if you hit someone? He seems to have a big deal. Look, it’s just these words that are trembling, and you can listen to them Unclear! Looking at it as a teenage child, people are going to be frozen and stupid, and they are still talking."

"Go ahead!"

Xu Zhonglei opened the door and felt that when the door was closed, the floor heating kang was burning, and he returned to the world from the ice and snow hell in an instant.

"I remember your name is Zeng Cheng, Dr. Zeng's son, right?" Xu Zhonglei wiped the ice off his body with a dry towel that was put aside as he spoke, and after only a few minutes of going out, a lump accumulated on his shoulder. The layer of ice has not had time to turn into water.

Zeng Cheng saw that there was already a layer of ice crystals on his shoulders, so Xu Zhonglei wiped it off for him. The child's face was flushed, but his body was trembling non-stop. Xu Zhonglei probably understood that this was a stress response after extreme cold.

"Brother Shitou!" Zeng Cheng shook for a while, then knelt down directly, crying while kneeling, his eyes were still stained with ice from previous tears, and another stream flowed down.

"Yo Yo Yo, get up quickly, what happened, did something happen to your father?" Xu Zhonglei couldn't stand a child kneeling down, and asked quickly.

Zeng Cheng cried and said, "Brother Stone! My father suffered from frostbite last night. Today, I wiped my body according to the method he said, but there was no reaction at all! I still have a high fever! There is no medicine now..."

"Frostbite, fever?" Xu Zhonglei interrupted Zeng Cheng.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I yelled outside for a long time, but no one answered me, that's when I thought of throwing something..." Zeng Cheng cried harder.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'll get the medicine, and I'll go to your house to have a look..."

Xu Zhonglei prepared a lot of frostbite ointment early in the morning, which can be bought online, as well as antibiotics, antipyretics, and cold medicine, because some medicines contain prohibited substances. After buying a little online, he went offline and sold them in various small pharmacies Wandering around, I also stocked up a lot, just preparing for this to happen.
