During this period, the people in the base enjoyed a rare period of comfortable living.
The farm has a large quantity of silver snow fruit, potatoes, and sweet potatoes on the market, and the prices are very affordable. The main reason is that potatoes and sweet potatoes can fill your stomach.
The base also put potato and sweet potato seeds, as well as nutrient solution, on the shelves.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes were developed by the base to be cultivated in cold conditions. The potatoes and sweet potatoes grown can not only be eaten, but the base can also buy them back.
So now many people in the base have started to try it.
Potatoes have a shorter growth cycle, while sweet potatoes have a longer one. The effect will be even better if they are combined with the nutrient solution developed by the base.
Jiang Li had already planted potatoes and sweet potatoes in the space before, and the Silver Snow Fruit was cultivated much faster using the base's nutrient solution; some of them have already borne fruit.
After connecting to the internet, the number of people online began to increase, and the place gradually became lively.
Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.
Those who bought seeds and planted them in the following months have already harvested their first batch of food. Although the yield was lower in the cold winter, it was still quite good.
Seeing that the first batch of seeds had yielded good results, everyone rushed to buy seeds and start planting, showing great enthusiasm.
During this time, Jiang Li and his group also encountered Captain Wang. Captain Wang looked much more haggard than before. According to Captain Wang, many people in the base were affected by the previous Starlight Auction House incident.
There may be some involvement from higher-ups. Although the final person hasn't been identified yet, those who have been found are enough to enrage the leaders at the base.
Captain Wang's power was limited, and he had threatened other people's interests, so he had a tough time, but it was worth it.
Furthermore, they discovered other things. Although Captain Wang didn't say it, Jiang Li roughly knew what it was. With Chen Dashun's previous incident as a precedent, he was definitely not the only one who ate human flesh.
Therefore, it is highly likely that Captain Wang discovered this.
I chatted briefly with Captain Wang and told Jiang Li and the others to prepare more lighting equipment before I was hurriedly called away.
Jiang Li was now certain that someone in the base knew what was going to happen, otherwise Captain Wang wouldn't have told us to prepare in advance, and to prepare lighting equipment.
The extreme cold has lasted for about 10 months now. In the last life, the extreme cold ended in about a year, so it seems that the extreme cold is also coming to an end soon.
Jiang Li used Captain Wang's words to express her concerns to Gu Jin. Gu Jin did not take it lightly, and since Captain Wang had said so, he must know something to tell them. Gu Jin repeatedly assured Jiang Li that she would make preparations.
Days passed by without any unexpected events.
One day, not long after Jiang Li finished breakfast, he was about to change into his sportswear to prepare for training when he suddenly felt a little hot.
After only a moment of stunned silence, Jiang Li knew that the temperature was starting to rise and the extreme cold was about to end.
Jiang Li quickly took off her thick coat, sweater, cotton pants, and woolen socks.
Then, disregarding the rest of his clothes, he took the charcoal out of the stove in the room and put it in an iron tub. After the stove cooled down, he removed the exhaust pipe and put the stove back into his spatial storage.
Turn off the heater, air conditioner, and space heater, and put them all away.
The bed sheets and duvet covers were all changed to thinner ones, and the blankets on the floor were all put away.
After moving around for only a short while, Jiang Li started to sweat. He quickly took off his clothes and changed into a simple set of home clothes.
After changing his clothes, Jiang Li finally felt much more comfortable.
Previously, he had been wearing a lot of layers of clothing in the extreme cold, which made his body feel very heavy. Now that he had taken them off and changed into lighter clothes, Jiang Li felt much lighter.
After changing her clothes and opening the window, Jiang Li didn't feel cold at all wearing so little; on the contrary, she felt quite comfortable.
After the extreme cold, the outside temperature suddenly rose from minus sixty degrees to above twenty degrees.
The snow on the ground outside began to melt at a visible speed, and the melting snow began to turn into water, flowing down the drainpipes of the sewer.
This place was originally a resort, and with so much snow melting at once, the drainage was quite good. It's just that there was too much snow all at once, and it didn't drain away in time, so some water accumulated on the ground, but it wasn't serious.
Many people, like Jiang Li, stood by the window looking down. These people were much more excited than Jiang Li, and their shouts echoed throughout the base.
Since the onset of this extreme cold, countless people have perished in this frigid climate.
Now that the extreme cold has ended and temperatures are starting to rise, it's certainly something to be excited about.
Many people have already posted about it online, and Jiang Li could easily tell from their excited comments.
Jiang Li felt very complicated. He wondered what they would think if they knew that there were other disasters waiting for them.
Jiang Li didn't continue thinking about it, but instead planned to contact Gu Jin, only to see that Gu Jin had already sent a message.
The two chatted online for a while, and it has to be said that having the internet makes things much more convenient; they no longer need to go out and about like before.
This kind of life makes people feel like they've gone back to the pre-apocalyptic world.
A few days later, nothing else happened, as if the extreme cold had ended. Many people began to contact the base, asking them to be sent back to the city.
Now things are much better. Although the outside world is a wasteland, they believe that given time they will be able to rebuild their homes.
The thought of rebuilding their homes filled people with hope and anticipation.
The base actually knew there would be more disasters to come, but they couldn't tell everyone directly about the current situation. Whether they believed it or not, it would only bring panic and despair.
However, the base was disturbed several times, and there was nothing they could do but send a few vehicles to take some representatives out to see if the city was still habitable.
While we're at it, let's see if any survivors are planning to come to the base. The base did send people out to search during the extreme cold period, but conditions were limited at the time. The nearby areas were fine, but the snow was too thick in the more distant areas, and there were too many problems traveling back and forth, so the base didn't send anyone out.
Many people agreed with the base's statement, so a group of representatives were selected to travel with the base's vehicles.
Some people who owned cars packed their luggage and followed behind the cars, while others packed their luggage to go into the city to take a look.
However, most people still feel that living in the base is better, as there is food and internet, and everyone has already gotten used to it.
We don't know what the situation is like outside yet. Many houses collapsed in the previous earthquake, so life inside the base is definitely safer.
However, regardless of the circumstances, everyone is looking forward to rebuilding their homes, and there has been a lot of discussion about it.
The base acted swiftly, organizing the departure the very next day. Those who remained watched the departing convoy, all hoping to bring back good news.
