Chapter 132: Extreme Cold. Group out to cut wood

While Gu Ye was recovering from his injury, Yin Tianlin and others came to visit him. They did not enter the house, but asked about the situation at the door. Later, Li Rong came again alone, feeling very embarrassed for not helping at the critical moment.

Chu An did not expect them to take care of Gu Ye, and he also understood that at critical moments, helping people closer to you is an instinctive reaction, so he didn't need to worry about it, and Gu Ye wouldn't think too much about it.

"I still feel bad. Is there anything I can do to help him?"

"Then... when he gets better, you can give him some basic advice when you have time."

Through the last fight, she found that Gu Ye's foundation was not good, so he was very passive at the beginning, flustered, and kept getting beaten. She also had this problem, which was the disadvantage of quick success.

"Okay, no problem." Li Rong agreed readily and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Gu Ye recovered from his injury, he never mentioned resuming classes. Chu An saw that he really didn't want to study, so he changed the class from one morning to two hours a day.

From then on, I only had one big class and one set of papers to do a day.

Gu Ye felt a little guilty, so he listened to the lectures with full concentration during class. The two of them tried it for a week, and the effect was better than the first day of lectures. There are no students who can't learn, only teachers who can't teach. It is indeed a true saying.

In addition to teaching Gu Ye, she also did not give up self-study and read books on planting, breeding, construction engineering, traditional Chinese medicine, astronomy and psychology.

After learning the theoretical knowledge, she wanted to put it into practice, such as hypnosis, tarot, pulse diagnosis, and acupuncture. Gu Ye was her first and only experimental subject.

"How about changing the class back to one morning, or even one day." Gu Ye made a bitter face and begged, "I don't want to cross my eyes anymore, and I don't want to get acupuncture anymore."

"This is the last time. I promise."

"Oh, I remember now. Brother Rong wanted to spar with me. I'm leaving now. It's not good to break a promise."

Gu Ye ran away in a flash. Recently, Li Rong not only sparred with him, but also taught him the basic skills of martial arts, basic theories and many emergency techniques, which made up for the defect that Shen Xun could not teach on the spot.

Time passed quickly and it was time for the fifth distribution of relief food. The government still hadn't arrived, but the temperature began to rise.

Chu An used a thermometer to measure the temperature, which rose by five degrees every day. After five days, the temperature remained at minus 63 degrees and stopped rising. It was the same as in the previous life, without any change.

At this temperature, as long as you keep warm, it is no problem to stay outside for half a day, but you must really take measures to prevent the cold.

When the temperature is below -60°C, exposed skin will freeze, cells will die, and even the most resistant eyes will not escape the fate of frostbite. In addition, breathing cold air will damage the respiratory tract and lungs. People living near the Arctic often suffer from lung damage.

As the temperature warms up, many people run outside. If there is not enough food, they can eat less, but if there is not enough firewood, people will freeze to death. However, most of the first wave of people who went out died.

The wind and snow are one reason, but the bigger reason is limited resources.

The ice covered all the trees in the city, and the only places to find tables, chairs and benches were office buildings, shopping malls and schools. The competition was very fierce, and most of the people in Qingrun Apartment died in these places.

Apart from the office buildings, the only things left were the mountains and forests that were not flooded.

There are four mountains close to City C: Xiliu Mountain in the eastern suburbs, the semi-mountain villa area in the southern suburbs, Zuogong Mountain in the western suburbs, and Xiangshan Mountain in the northern suburbs. The resources there are pretty good, but the journey is a bit far, and most people don't dare to go there.

1112 also faces this problem, and half of the inventory has been burned in the past two months. No one knows whether the temperature will rise in the future, or whether it will become more severe.

Yin Tianlin called a meeting of the people on the 11th floor, and also called Chu An and Gu Ye. Chu An asked Gu Ye to go in her place, and she wanted to continue studying hypnosis and acupuncture.

Tang Xiao saw that Gu Ye was the only one there and asked, "Where's Xiao An?"

"She is reading a book. I will tell her when I get back." Gu Ye sat next to Li Rong and asked about the moves he had not figured out yesterday. Li Rong explained them to him again.

After Huo Sisi came out after packing up, Yin Tianlin began to talk about the purpose of the meeting. He wanted to organize the 11th floor to go to the mountain to cut wood. Everyone had no objection, but it was too cold outside and they didn't know where to go.

The competition among office buildings, shopping malls and schools is too fierce, so Yin Tianlin doesn't want to go there. Xiliu Mountain and Zuogong Mountain are too far away, and there are few trees on Xiangshan Mountain. The most suitable place is the southern suburbs half-mountain villa area.

"I have a villa there that can be used as a temporary resting place."

"I think it's feasible." Huo Sisi agreed, and at the same time raised another question, "What about the tools? What tools do we use?"

"We have axes and knives now," said Li Rong.

"You can ask Lao Li downstairs. They should have the tools." Tang smiled and said, "Leave it to me."

Yin Tianlin looked at Gu Ye, "Xiao Ye, go back and ask Xiao An if you two want to go with us? I want to set off tomorrow."

Gu Ye agreed and went back to convey the matter to Chu An.

This was within her expectations, but they obviously underestimated the temperature outside. "Do you want to go?"

"I'll listen to you."

She didn't want to go out and suffer, but if she didn't go with them this time, she would have to find a chance to pretend, so it would be better for her to act together.

"Then let's go together."

The two decided to set off and began to make preparations, including thermal underwear, autumn clothes, down vests and down pants, windbreakers, long down jackets and snow boots.

After putting on the thermal underwear, Chu An took out two 1.5-meter-long nano oxygen tubes and asked Gu Ye to wrap them around his arms in an S shape with the thermal underwear before putting on other clothes.

One end of the oxygen tube goes out from the cuff, and the other end goes from the neck to the mouth. In this way, the cold air you breathe will first be heated by your body temperature and then inhaled into your mouth, reducing damage to your respiratory tract and lungs.

Of course, you need to wear heating pads all over your body, and put two in your boots.

Finally, goggles, a Lei Feng hat, an extra-thick scarf and gloves are put on to ensure that no skin on the body is exposed.

After putting on his clothes, Gu Ye put on his backpack, which contained a tent, an axe and a rope. The hacksaw was too long, so he had to wrap it in cloth and tie it to the outside of the backpack.

Chu An still carried the little bee on his back, which contained food, water, and heating pads for the two of them. He put the things in the backpack into the space.

When the two of them went out, there was movement on the other side. They waited at the door for a while. Li Rong was the first "ball" to come out, followed by Yin Qiu, Huo Qiu, and Tang Qiu. Everyone was carrying a big backpack.

Tang Xiao used five kilograms of rice as collateral and successfully borrowed two long steel saws.

Chu An took out a hose from his pocket and gave it to them. The four people were very surprised. Why didn’t they think of it?

The four people passed directly through the clothes. It was simple and convenient, but the effect was not as good.

The entire 11th floor left, causing quite a stir in the building. Since Zhang Wen-ge's death, no one dared to attack the 11th floor anymore, and some people even thanked them for getting rid of harm to the people.

At present, the visibility outside is about 30 meters. Everyone wears goggles, so it doesn't have much impact. It's just that the snow is too deep, and too few people have left Building A, so no path has been trampled out.

Chu An kicked the thigh and felt a little tired.

"Follow me." Gu Ye gestured to her.

He pulled out the climbing rope from his waist, hooked it around Chu An's waist, and pulled her away.

Li Rong, Tang Xiao and Yin Tianlin hurriedly walked side by side with Gu Ye, letting Chu An and Huo Sisi follow behind. With four people leading the way, the two of them felt a lot more relaxed.
