After the power outage, everyone gathered in the living room, and then curled up in front of the fireplace.There is no TV, so I can only play with my mobile phone, but the battery of my mobile phone will not last long.

Chu Qing watched all kinds of news on his mobile phone, and found that the frequency of news broadcasts became less and less, and the content was the same.This power outage is a large-scale power outage around the world. Except for a small number of people who can generate electricity by themselves, they can still persist, and other places are basically unable to heat or communicate.

At first, Chu Qing was envious of central heating in big cities, and high-rise buildings were not worried about being buried by snowstorms, but now, she is no longer envious.If a big city loses electricity and water, it will be over.

This is the fourth day of the last days. Experts said yesterday that the blizzard will continue for another week, and now it is the second day. That is to say, it will take at least another six days.Their supplies can indeed last for six days, but what about after six days?

If the blizzard hadn't stopped after six days, it would be too late to consider Chu Qing's current method at that time.Chu Qing gritted his teeth and told everyone what he thought.

Chu Qing's method sounds simple, but it is very difficult to implement.So that everyone did not dare to express any opinions after listening.

In the end it was Huai Yao who sighed and said, "Ah Qing, don't you think your idea is too...idealized? I understand how you want to help everyone, but it's fundamental to bring all the survivors home to keep warm together." impossible."

When one person makes an opinion, the others no longer hide it.

"That's right. It was already very dangerous for the three of you to go out yesterday. How could you bring everyone back? It's not like they can bring back items, but they are people."

"Even if two people bring one person back, they have to go back and forth several times. Maybe there will be an accident on the way. What will we do then?"

Especially the elders, after the fear last night, they did not agree with Chu Qing and the others to go out to pick up people.Sending supplies almost cost me my life, and picking up people is even more dangerous.

Chu Qing saw that there were many objections from everyone, and most of them felt that they would only take greater risks and consume more energy and time when they went out to pick up people.She was silent for a long time, and only after everyone had finished arguing did she speak out: "What if I said that we can bring people back without rushing into the snowstorm?"

Everyone who was still arguing in a low voice suddenly stopped and looked at Chu Qing with doubts.

Huaiyao looked at Chu Qing with a complicated expression. This person is really thinking about making troubles all the time. Obviously, it is enough to just stay well. Their supplies should last for a week.Chu Qing had to come up with something to do. It is not a bad thing to be prepared for danger in times of peace, but if you try to be brave, you may really die.Following such a troublesome heroine, Huaiyao didn't know whether the heroine died first or she died first.However, Huai Yao didn't dislike Chu Qing.

Chu Qing nodded: "Indeed, now we go out to pick up people. On the one hand, there is no way to guarantee their safety. Although we have three sets of equipment, we can separate one set. In this case, only two people can pick up people one by one. Coming back, it takes too much time and energy, and it is very dangerous, if there is an accident on the road, the three of them may not be able to come back."

"But if we don't have to open the windows and walk in the snowstorm, then we can reduce the risk a lot."

He Huan scratched his head: "But if we don't pick them up, it's even more impossible for them to get together with us. Let's forget it, there's no need to bring people over to keep warm together."

Chu Qing shook his head: "No, our supplies may be enough for us to last for a week, but what about after a week? Who can guarantee that the blizzard will stop after a week? Are you an expert? Do you want to send your life to an expert? "

"When we distribute supplies, we distribute them by household. Regardless of the number of people in a household, the supplies are the same. We saw it when we delivered the supplies yesterday. How many households have survived until now, only For one person, there are only three members of the family, and there are basically few elderly people who can support them. The materials for one person and the same materials for three people are obviously unevenly distributed. If we gather the uneven materials, we can still A lot of savings. That way, all of us can survive for a while longer, which makes our chances of surviving better."

"We know what you mean, but people can't take over. Even if everyone agrees with your idea, it's too dangerous for every house to be separated by such a distance." Chu Qing's mother really didn't want Chu Qing to go out again. Yesterday she and Chu Qing Dad has been worried for so long, and because the temperature outside is too low, it seems that Chu Qing cannot be contacted by mobile phone. Who can bear such suffering.

"Mom, my method can save us from walking in the blizzard." Chu Qing stomped his feet, stretched out his hand from under the quilt, pointed to the floor, and said, "I remember spending summer vacation at my grandmother's house when I was a child, and I often ran to the basement. In this row of houses, every household has a basement, some of which can even be used for living, and some are only used for storage.”

"If we go underground instead of going outside, we can avoid many dangers, we won't lose our way, and although the temperature in the basement is also very low, it is definitely better than the snowstorm blowing outside, at least we won't be swept away by the wind and snow Go to the temperature. One of the most important things to keep warm and cold is to protect against wind. If we go to the basement, we only need to make a hole in the basement for people to drill in.”

"Dad, you used to work on the construction site, so you should know better than us how to avoid some load-bearing beams. You only need to punch a small hole."

"This..." Chu Qing's father hesitated, and finally nodded helplessly, "Oh, you can try."

Everyone looks at me and looks at you. After thinking for a long time, I finally agreed to this method. Now I am asking the survivors for their opinions in the group.Chu Qing analyzed the pros and cons to them, and also said in the group that if you want to hug them together to keep warm, then report your home address, and then when Chu Qing and the others smashed walls from house to house, you will be notified. They brought all the supplies to transfer.

The discussion in the group was full of enthusiasm. Some people were worried about this and others were worried about that. Chu Qing patiently explained the reasons to everyone, analyzed the dangers and proposed solutions.After two hours, everyone agreed, because no one wanted to die.With this little supplies in their hands, they can only last for five days, but if everyone gathers together to keep warm, they may be able to last longer.

Suddenly, a family in the group asked: "What about the village committee? They don't have a basement."

The people in the group fell silent immediately, and no one sent any new messages after this message.It was only then that everyone remembered that there was a big road between the police of the village committee and the townhouses, and it was impossible to connect them through the basement. wait to die.

Since the discussion just now, people from the village committee have not participated in this topic, as if they do not exist in this group, but in fact everyone's materials come from them.

Chu Qing sent a message: "Don't worry, we will open a way to take them over."

"Which way?"

Chu Qing shrugged: "The police station still has supplies that were originally allocated to us, and they were also given away. If we leave them behind, it will be unreasonable."

"The temperature under the snow is a little higher than walking on it. We can dig a road from under the snow and lead to the police station. But there are also dangers. The snow is tight in some places and loose in others. I don't know when it will collapse. The iron pipes we used to make air vents were about two meters in diameter. We used them to make passages this time, but they were not long enough. There were only three of them, and each was only three meters long. One, when the time comes, place one at a certain distance, and use some iron plates in the middle to support the baby."

"Let's go and come back quickly, don't wait for the snow to fall. Everyone must act this time. Dad will take a few people to open the basement, pick up people and bring back supplies. I will take a few people to dig a hole under the snow. Road, while building a passage, separate operations."

Now that we have decided to do it, everyone has no choice but to abandon all concerns and concentrate on doing things.The three sets of polar equipment are all at Chu Qing's place, because the temperature in the basement is much higher than the temperature outside, and in the basement, Chu Qing's father and the others can still smash the wall with the stove.But Chu Qing and the others are more dangerous under the snow, so the three sets of equipment are worn by Chu Qing and the others.

This time, Chu Qing's parents and Ning Nan's parents were added to work in the basement.The four of Chu Qing went to dig a passage under the snow.

Since there were only three sets of equipment, Huaiyao took the initiative to say that she didn't need to wear equipment, and just put on a few more warm clothes, and then put on a warm baby.Since she didn't have polar equipment, she really couldn't stay outside for a long time, so when Chu Qing and the three were digging the tunnel, Huaiyao was responsible for transporting the snow back.

Staying under the snow, from the light coming in from all directions, it can be seen that the wind is still blowing outside, and the sound of howling wind is isolated above the head.Instead of hearing that frightening voice, it didn't feel so cold.Of course, it is also possible that the three of them have been digging tunnels and exercising, so the energy burned by their bodies makes them feel okay.

Chu Qing's father's side went smoothly, and the basement was quickly opened up, connecting every household and letting them go back by themselves.Everyone took all the supplies and moved quickly to Chu Qing's house. No one thought about taking those valuables at this time. After all, they were all at home, and it was impossible for them to be stolen at this time.Moreover, it is useless to steal it, and valuables are not as important as a catty of charcoal now.

After Chu Qing's father brought them back, everyone gathered by the fireplace on the second floor to enjoy the fire. Before Chu Qing and the others came back, they said to help dig the passage if they had the energy to prevent the snow from collapsing and blocking the passage behind.Chu Qing's father was still shaking, but he refused to rest. He took the shovel and hoe and went to dig the tunnel with everyone.

In the morning, the passage was dug through, and the people from the police station came back.Now everyone is staying in Chu Qing's room, and the iron pipes have been moved back. After all, they will be used for ventilation in the future, because snow has accumulated on the windows on the second floor.If I want to go out now, I have to jump out from the third floor, because the windows on the second floor are all covered by snow.

This is the first time that everyone gathers together to keep warm, by the fireplace and fire, all gathered together, covered with thick blankets or quilts.In fact, if you look carefully, it is not too crowded, mainly because there are not many people who have survived until now.

There are eight people in Chu Qing's family, thirteen villagers in the townhouse, and five people in the police station. I heard that one died, and he didn't wake up after falling asleep in the middle of the night.But the sum of everyone's materials can obviously last for a long time, at least a little longer than when they were separated separately.

There was not much power left in the mobile phone, so Chu Qing found a power bank, but he was not in a hurry to charge the mobile phone, so he had to save the battery.When the blizzard is over, it must be a time when communication tools are very much needed. At that time, the mobile phone is out of battery and there is nothing to do.

I don't know why, when each family hides alone in their own homes, they are always haunted by despair.But now that everyone is gathered together, and most of them are familiar faces, I feel that there is a little hope.

Because at this time, there is nothing to do. Some people read books, some play cards, and some take turns to see the snow on the third floor, just in case they don’t know if the snow has buried the third floor.Several young and middle-aged men followed Chu Qing and the others to go downstairs and move all the supplies to the second floor. Because the basement of the townhouse was opened up, the cold air outside was also poured directly into their basement.Now, they had to separate the basement from the upstairs, otherwise the temperature would lose faster.

Chu Qing and the others dug the snow in the morning, put it in the warm room, melted a lot, then put it in a bucket, made some simple molds, and threw it back into the door in front of the door.Chu Qing plans to use ice cubes for heat insulation like in the polar regions, pile some ice cubes in front of the windows on the second floor, and separate the basement with ice cubes.The window is really not well insulated, and ice cubes are better than the material of the window.

It was busy until the evening, someone prepared a meal and sent it to the second floor for everyone, and everyone ate with bowls on the second floor.In the case of freezing all over, drink a bowl of hot porridge, with some sauerkraut, and a few small farm stir-fries.

The scent permeates the second floor where the air is not very well ventilated. I used to feel that the smell was too strong, but now I wish it was full of this warm smell of oily smoke.This kind of smell of fireworks in the world made them feel that they were still alive, and it also made them see the hope of life, and firmly believed that they would be able to survive the blizzard for a week.

The author has something to say: let’s guess, a week later, the blizzard will stop, no prizes to guess, hahaha
