Chapter 28 The Extreme Cold Arrives

At this moment, on the 16th floor.

Chen Dabao was boiling water in the kitchen, while Shen Qianxun lowered his head to review the study records of the past few days, scratching his head.

Chen Dabao, "I really can't remember this thing. I won't go there anymore."

Shen Qianxun, "Hey, I suddenly understand medical students. There is a lot to learn."

Just the day before yesterday, she sutured the wound of Luo Baiwan's younger brother. She still remembers his aggrieved expression as he was sweating profusely in pain but didn't dare to complain.

During the entire operation, Shen Qianxun's hands did not shake at all, except that occasionally the needle was not placed accurately and had to be repeated.

In Tang Yun's words, he has the courage and learning ability, but the main problem is: he doesn't care about the strength of his punches, only focuses on speed, does not take the patient's feelings into consideration, and lacks the gentleness that a professional doctor should have. As for the accuracy problem, he just needs to practice a few more times.

You must learn medicine slowly and have confidence.

The hot water was ready, and the brazier was burning brightly. A gust of cold wind blew into the house from the gap. Shen Qianxun couldn't help but shivered, "Let's go inside and change clothes."

Shortly after changing clothes, I pulled out the thermometer placed outside the window and saw that it was minus 30 degrees Celsius. The temperature was still dropping and soon reached minus 38 degrees Celsius. The temperature around the brazier was minus 15 degrees Celsius.

Shen Qianxun was wearing a thick military coat, hat, scarf, and gloves, with heat pads on his back and stomach, and he also had a moment of palpitations.

In the previous life, Shen Qianxun shivered as he made a fire, and finally sat wrapped in a quilt beside the fire until dawn. It took him a whole night to gradually adapt to the temperature in the Northeast.

You have to know that where they are, the temperature in winter is not below zero degrees, and only on relatively high mountains such as Wangshan can you see snow.

There was a lot of noise downstairs, and gradually, crying sounds were heard all around, which seemed particularly strange in the cold night.

In the previous life, the extreme cold without warning took away countless lives, and many people never woke up from their sleep.

In this life, even with a national warning, the temperature suddenly dropped from over 30 degrees Celsius to minus 38 degrees Celsius, a huge drop of more than 80 degrees Celsius, and many people still couldn't survive it.

"Are you two okay?" Tang Yun and his wife from next door came and knocked on the door.

Shen Qianxun, “I just drank some hot water and I feel much better.”

Du Bin hugged Tang Yun, shivering, "That's good."

"Let's go see Grandma Deng and Father Yan."

After Shen Qianxun finished speaking, he and Chen Dabao came to 1601 first, and Xu Xiaoyue opened the door.

After entering the house, there was firewood burning in Grandma Deng's bedroom, and a thick blanket was placed next to the firewood.

Shen Qianxun sat by the bed and checked Grandma Deng’s physical condition according to what Tang Yun had taught her before.

"So far, there's no problem."

Grandma Deng, "Xiaoyue asked me to put a hot water bottle on my chest, and now I feel much better."

Seeing that Grandma Deng was in good spirits, Shen Qianxun turned to look at Lin Yu who was standing beside her.

The little guy gasped for breath, and after easing up, he took out the hot water bottle from his clothes and handed it to Xu Xiaoyue, "Sister Xiaoyue, this is for you. I feel much better now."

"You can use it. I'm not cold." After saying that, Xu Xiaoyue placed a pot on the matchbowl stand, put in a thumb-sized piece of brown sugar and stirred it.

Shen Qianxun and Chen Dabao returned the brown sugar water that Xu Xiaoyue had handed over and warned: “It’s best to leave someone to watch over the first night.”

Xu Xiaoyue, "Well, I'll be on guard tonight."

Shen Qianxun touched Xu Xiaoyue’s thin woolen hat, and a chill came from his fingertips.

"You have to take care of yourself too. Let's go next door first. If you need help, just come and find me and Dabao next door."

Xu Xiaoyue smiled, "Okay."

When the two arrived at 1602 and saw everyone’s serious expressions, Shen Qianxun knew that the situation was not good.

Yan Huihui, who was feeling listless, sat by the brazier, holding her in his arms and feeding her water. "Huihui, don't go to sleep yet. Grandpa's testing your brain with a riddle. If you guess correctly, you'll get your favorite candy as a reward."

However, Yan Huihui's eyelashes trembled, and without saying a word, Shen Qianxun squatted down, took out the Southeast Asian God Oil from the space, and placed it on the tip of Yan Huihui's nose.

Yan Huihui frowned, opened her eyes wide, and was about to cry. Chen Dabao spoke up to stop her.

"Don't cry, your face will rot."

The effect was immediate, and Yan Huihui immediately held back her tears.

After comforting her, the two stood beside Yan's mother's bed.

Tang Yun took off the heart rate monitor and shook her head at Officer Yan.

Officer Yan closed his eyes and remained silent. Father Yan held Yan Huihui in his arms, suppressing his grief.

Just like in the previous life, Yan's mother died on the night when the extreme cold came.

There was a bell ringing at the stairs. When I opened the door, I saw Luo Baiwan, who had wrapped himself up like a ball, gasping for breath. "There are six families downstairs who need help."

Tang Yun took Shen Qianxun and Chen Dabao downstairs quickly.

A busy night.

At 10 o’clock the next morning, Shen Qianxun and Chen Dabao came to 902 where Luo Baiwan was for a meeting.

Outside the window, white snow was flying, and a layer of snow had covered the hard and thick ice surface.

There were two pots of burning firewood in the huge living room, and it was crowded with people. The smell was a bit strong, but it was much more comfortable than outside.

Luo Baiwan cleared his throat, looking serious for once.

"Just last night, we lost 18 of our neighbors."

Sighs were heard everywhere.

"Now, there are 96 people left in the building, including four children under the age of three, eight people aged 3-10, 16 people aged 10-18, 32 people aged 18-40, 34 people aged 40-60, and two people aged 60 and above."

There was silence for several minutes afterwards, and everyone was silently remembering the departed.

After a while, Luo Baiwan took a deep breath and continued, "I understand how you all feel right now and how you lack confidence in the future. But please believe that as long as we work together as a team, there is hope for the future. I've gathered everyone here today to share not only the above information, but also some good news."

Everyone then raised their heads, some still with dejected eyes, while others were full of anticipation.

Then, Luo Baiwan nodded towards Shen Qianxun.

Shen Qianxun looked at the eyes everyone was looking at, and without beating around the bush, he took out a bag of seeds and explained, "In the apocalypse, the importance of food is self-evident, especially vegetables. I believe that everyone here hasn't eaten vegetables for a while, and this is a bag of cold-resistant vegetable seeds that can grow in temperatures no lower than minus 50 degrees."

Some people opened their eyes wide, while others expressed doubt.

Shen Qianxun gestured to Xu Xiaoyue who was standing by the door, “Xiaoyue, bring in the vegetables you planted before and show them to everyone.”

Xu Xiaoyue opened the door, carefully held a plastic basin, and placed it in the center of the living room.

There are 12 green vegetables planted in the pot, about the length of a finger.

Aunt Wu from 1102 exclaimed, "This is Swiss chard. I used to cut it and feed it to pigs when I was a kid."

Soon after, many people recognized him and gasped.

No one cared whether it tasted good or not, they just hoped it would grow up quickly so they could have a bite.

Anyone who understands will understand the pain of not eating vegetables for more than half a month.

"Xiaoyue, are you selling this kraut? I'll trade two kilograms of worm rice for one."

"I'll give you 3 jin."

Everyone rushed to bid, and Shen Qianxun saw that the effect was achieved, and continued, “Don’t worry, everyone has a chance to participate.”
