Xiao Yi personally took to the streets, mobilizing all residents to jointly address the crisis. With firm and powerful strides, Xiao Yi emerged onto the bustling streets of the base. He stood tall and imposing, his eyes radiating immense resolve and determination. Seeing Xiao Yi's presence, people stopped what they were doing and gathered around him. Xiao Yi stood on a slightly elevated step, cleared his throat, and declared, "Dear residents, we are facing a severe cold weather crisis, but I believe that as long as we unite as one, we will overcome it!" His voice, resonant and passionate, echoed through the streets. "Each of us has a responsibility and must take action. This is not just for ourselves, but for our families, for our shared home!" Xiao Yi waved his arms, inspiring the crowd. He gazed at the faces before him, filled with hope and trust, and continued, "We are already stockpiling supplies and reinforcing facilities, but this is not enough. We need everyone to contribute their own strength, conserve energy, and help each other." Xiao Yi descended the steps and joined the crowd, engaging closely. He patted an old man on the shoulder and said, "Uncle, you are very experienced. Please teach the young people how to cope with the cold." He then encouraged a young man, "Young man, give your best efforts. Let's get through this together!" The residents were moved by Xiao Yi's words and responded one after another. "Chief Xiao Yi, we listen to you!" "Come on, everyone!" Shouts rang out one after another. Xiao Yi smiled and nodded, then spoke again loudly, "Let's work together to meet the challenges, protect our base, and protect our future!"
"Let's unite as one. We will definitely overcome this!" His voice was firm and powerful, inspiring confidence and courage. Xiao Yi stood in the center of the crowd, head held high, eyes blazing. Every word he spoke was like a bombshell, stirring waves in the hearts of the people. His voice resounded like a mighty bell, echoing throughout the streets. His resolute tone contained no hesitation or wavering, as if declaring their resolve to the world. "Let's unite as one," these words uttered with unquestionable authority and brimming with earnest hope. The people looked up at him, captivated by his words. His voice held a powerful force, a power that penetrated the hearts of the people. Hope gradually ignited in the eyes of the anxious people after hearing his voice. "We will definitely overcome this!" His final words were as fervent as a battle song. Every syllable was filled with determination and conviction, as if they could see the dawn of victory just ahead. In the crowd, a woman clenched her fists, tears glistening in her eyes, and murmured to herself: "Yes, we can do it." A child held his father's hand tightly, his little face full of determination: "Dad, we will win!" Xiao Yi's voice was still echoing in the air. The determination and strength had been deeply imprinted in everyone's heart, and became a powerful driving force for them to move forward bravely and resist the crisis together.
Despite thorough preparations, the cold still approached with unimaginable speed. The once clear sky was gradually enveloped by dark clouds, so thick they seemed to bear down. A chilly wind began to howl, at first gently, like a malicious test, then withering force, like the roar of a ferocious beast. People on the streets bundled up tightly, but the chill seemed to penetrate every pore, piercing through layers of fabric and stinging their skin. The needles on the monitoring instruments spun frantically, the data constantly reaching new lows, each beat a tad more tense. The distant mountains, once shimmering with green, were covered in a blanket of white frost in just a few days. The rivers began to freeze over with astonishing speed, the once gurgling streams frozen in time. In the fields outside the base, crops shivered in the cold wind, their leaves withering rapidly. The frost spread at a visible rate, strangling all life in its cradle. The low temperatures brought more than just a sudden drop in temperature; they also felt an invisible pressure that permeated the air. People's breath turned into white mist, and every breath was filled with the biting cold that pierced their hearts and lungs. Despite stockpiling abundant supplies and fortifying their homes, the people couldn't help but feel a sense of fear and worry in the face of the unimaginable low temperatures. But they knew they couldn't retreat now; they had to grit their teeth and face this unprecedented challenge.
The wind howled, snowflakes flew, and the base seemed enveloped in a thick blanket of frost. The wind roared and swept in, a sharp whistle that threatened to tear the world apart. It tore through the base, relentlessly battering every corner, causing the sturdy buildings to creak and groan. From the gray sky, large flakes of snow fluttered down, like shredded cotton wool or the dancing poplar catkins of spring. At first, the snowflakes danced gracefully in the air, but swept by the fierce wind, they suddenly became fierce and violent. In a short time, the houses, roads, and trees in the base were all covered in snow. The roofs of the houses seemed covered in a thick white velvet blanket, while the walls were covered in crystal-clear icicles that trembled slightly in the cold wind. The path became blurred, and it was impossible to tell where the road was and where the ditch was. Only a vast expanse of white could be seen. The branches of the trees bent beneath the weight of the snow, some even cracking with crisp, unbearable cracks. Once green branches and leaves were enshrouded in frost, transformed, as if by magic, into exquisite ice sculptures. The base's walls were not spared either, clinging tightly to the frost, exuding a cold, hard aura. Atop the watchtower, the soldiers standing guard, despite their heavy cotton-padded jackets, shivered with cold, their gazes unwavering, their vigilant gaze fixed on their surroundings. The entire base seemed to have fallen into an icy slumber, imprisoned by the relentless wind and blizzard. The thick frost, like an inescapable yoke, made the base seem singularly silent and oppressive.
Despite the protective shield, the fierce wind and freezing temperatures outside the base continued to rage. Like a frantic beast, the wind repeatedly pounded against the shield, emitting a chilling roar. Each impact brought a powerful tremor, threatening to tear apart this last line of defense. Outside the shield, the freezing temperature made the air seem frozen.
