I Farm and Survive in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao'an lay weakly in the ice and snow, watching the heavy snow bury her alive. Thinking back to her three years of solitary survival in the apocalypse, her consciousness gradually blurred. ...

Chapter 309 I couldn't bear it

"Since you're new here, you're probably not used to the environment, climate, and so on. That's where we come in."

If you have any questions in the future, you can post them in the group. If we can solve them, we will definitely reply to you.

If the problem cannot be resolved, it will be reported to the relevant departments. We hope you can have a pleasant winter in Haishi.

Bi Qiaoan's words sounded very official, but they made the people waiting in the cold wind feel comfortable.

They migrated from North Harbin to Haishi, hoping for a warm and tolerant living environment. Although they were "living under someone else's roof," no one wanted to live at the mercy of others.

Therefore, Bi Qiaoan and the others' attitude made everyone feel comfortable.

While chatting with everyone, Bi Qiaoan noticed that several people had scabs on their ears, so she asked, "Do you have frostbite?"

"Yes, when we left North Harbin, it was already minus 45 degrees Celsius there. Just imagine, no heating, no electricity, it was torture every day!"

"Yes! Although we can use stoves over there, how much heat can they provide? Besides, we can't sleep with a stove in our arms! And I'm also afraid of carbon monoxide poisoning."

"Young lady, it's so warm here! It's warmer outside than inside where we live."

"Yes, little beauty, you don't know, I have to use two blankets every night when I sleep in North Harbin, and I also have to cover myself with a down jacket on top of the blankets."

Moreover, I wear a hat and scarf to bed, leaving only my nostrils open to breathe. If the blankets weren't so heavy, I could easily use three or four.

Bi Qiaoan didn't expect that just one question from her would cause everyone to start pouring out their grievances.

It seems the weather in North Harbin is indeed torturous.

Bi Qiaoan had never experienced temperatures of minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius, so she could only nod as she listened and then comfort the other person: "There is heating here in Haishi, so even if there is a power outage, you won't freeze."

Take advantage of these few months to recover and try to prevent the chilblains from recurring.

An old man tenderly touched his grandson's ear and said, "How can frostbite be completely cured? Besides, it's so cold in our North Harbin. I'm afraid the child will have a recurring frostbite every year!"

Although the old man's tone was full of sadness and helplessness, Bi Qiaoan felt a surge of joy because the ladder she wanted had been delivered.

Bi Qiaoan patted the boy's head and said to the old man, "Grandpa, I have some frostbite cream at home. It was made by an old Chinese medicine doctor at Haishi Hospital. Would you like to give it to your grandson to try?"

The old man was a little excited and grabbed Bi Qiaoan's hand, asking, "Really? How effective is it?"

When Bi Qiaoan mentioned frostbite, Shen Yanming went back to the tent to get a face cream box and cotton swabs.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw an old man holding his wife's hand.

Shen Yanming stepped forward, grasped the old man's arm slightly, and said, "Please don't get agitated, let's talk this out!"

The old man let go of Shen Yanming's hand and asked, "Young man, is that frostbite cream really effective?"

“I don’t know if it will work or not, but your grandson is right here, you can let him try it,” Shen Yanming said.

"Hey, you guys aren't here to sell ointments, are you?" someone questioned.

Shen Yanming chuckled, "No, this ointment is free for everyone to use. You don't need to buy it. Just come here every day and apply a little bit. It should be healed in about a week, and it won't recur."

"Is it really that amazing? I'll give it a try?" asked a young man with sores on his hands.

Shen Yanming nodded and handed him a cotton swab. "Apply it yourself!"

The young man didn't stand on ceremony and applied the ointment to both the scabbed and unscabbed areas of his hands. After finishing, he felt that his hands no longer hurt or itched, and excitedly exclaimed, "It's amazing! It doesn't hurt anymore!"

"Come on, let me try it too!" Other people with chilblains also came forward and applied the ointment.

After experiencing the amazing effects, he even asked Shen Yanming, "Dude, can you introduce us to that amazing old Chinese medicine doctor? His medical skills and this ointment are simply incredible!"

Shen Yanming shook his head. "If you want to buy ointment, you don't need to. Just come here every day and apply it, and you'll be fine. If you need to see a doctor, go to the hospital and follow the procedures. They will recommend a suitable doctor for you."

Seeing this, the group stopped insisting and only said that if there was any illness, they would ask Shen Yanming to make an introduction.

Shen Yanming readily agreed.

However, some people are worried, "How long are you going to stay here? What if it's not even a week?"

"It's hard to say right now. If it's less than a week, I'll let everyone know in the group chat before I leave, and then I'll give the frostbite cream to one of you. You can go to him to apply the medicine."

Hearing Shen Yanming say this, everyone was relieved.

Just then, a truck drove up from a distance and parked not far from the tent.

Then a burly man jumped out of the passenger seat and shouted, "Line up! Come and collect your luggage with your number!"

The crowd surged forward, and although they looked anxious, they still formed a long queue.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan watched from the sidelines, noticing that each of them carried three to five packages, which they could barely lift.

Yu Shui and the others exchanged glances and sighed.

What should we do? Stand by and watch? Do nothing?

My conscience won't allow it!

Seeing them standing by the roadside with their luggage, their faces full of anxiety, helplessness, and confusion, Shen Yanming, Cui Xian, and Li Yinhe discussed it and decided to drive them downstairs.

Since Yu Shui was riding an electric scooter today, he stayed behind to accompany Bi Qiaoan in receiving the visitors.

When Shen Yanming and the others shared their decision with everyone, everyone was very excited.

Then they boarded the bus according to the building number, with those in the same building sharing the same bus. If one trip wasn't enough, they would make several round trips.

Of course, they only brought the people and their luggage downstairs.

The power came back on at this time, so it was very convenient to take the elevator upstairs.

Bi Qiaoan and Yu Shui sat at the table watching everyone busy. After the last group of people left, Bi Qiaoan said, "Did you notice? Only this group of people had frostbite. None of the people we received earlier had frostbite."

Yu Shui nodded. "If we judge economic conditions by whether or not someone owns a car, then this group of people who came by bus are probably people with average living standards and limited material resources."

Perhaps it is precisely this scarcity that forces them to travel far and wide to obtain resources, which is why they are so prone to frostbite.

“Yes, sometimes material conditions are quite important,” Bi Qiaoan said.

Yu Shui chuckled, "When did you become so sentimental?"

Instead of answering, Bi Qiaoan asked, "Am I wrong?"

Yu Shui didn't answer, but gave an awkward laugh, "Hehe, let's not talk about that. Let's see how many people have arrived so far!"

Bi Qiaoan nodded, flipped through the list in her hand, calculated for a moment, and said, "One-sixth!"

"Are you sure? At this rate, we can finish in six days, right?" Yu Shui said excitedly.
