Chapter 144: Repaying Favor
Chapter 144
The Arctic Base is the only base buried deep underground, mainly considering their climatic environment.
Located in the northernmost part of the country, the winter temperatures there are extremely cold, and in some places they are even two levels below the world level.
Under such circumstances, the predicted arrival of natural disasters may make the already low temperatures even lower.
So the base was buried underground, but no one expected that extreme cold would come suddenly after the end of the world.
This sudden and unexpected cold caught everyone off guard.
Many people died outside at night, and only those who stayed inside the base survived.
However, the construction of the base is not perfect, and this base was just a concept when it was built.
When they were building it, they didn't know that the extreme cold of the apocalypse would drop to minus seventy degrees Celsius within an hour.
The temperature drop here is different from that in the south. Because the air is dry, the temperature drops faster.
In almost ten minutes, the temperature dropped from 25 degrees Celsius above zero to 25 degrees Celsius below zero.
This huge temperature difference caused many people with poor health to die suddenly from illness.
Some people were directly frozen to death, the temperature was colder than that in a refrigerator.
Without prevention, people cannot bear it, especially because the temperature is high and many people do not cover themselves with thick quilts when they sleep.
Those who are very hot-tempered don’t even cover themselves with blankets.
Under such circumstances, their death is almost instantaneous.
As for the people in the extreme cold base, most of them survived.
However, when the base was first built, the temperature was only around minus 60 degrees Celsius, but here the temperature dropped to minus 80 degrees Celsius at its lowest point.
It only warmed up later, but it was still around minus 70 degrees Celsius.
There is a 20-degree temperature difference between 60 and 80 degrees. Even though the base made efforts, many ordinary people died.
Even many low-level awakeners could not escape the natural disaster.
The 10,000 people who are still alive now can be said to be kings of cold resistance.
So Si Shen, Nian Chengxiao and others saw many awakened people along the way, and ordinary people seemed to have become extinct here.
Jiang Long seemed like an outsider, standing out among a group of awakened people.
The judge looked at Jiang Long, trying to see something from it.
Jiang Long also felt the gazes of the judge and the others, and then waved his hand.
A huge bat flew over and stood on the ground as tall as Jiang Long.
"This is Fu Fu. I rescued him a few days before the end of the world. Fu Fu mutated after the end of the world, but after knowing me, he became my mutant beast." Jiang Long touched Fu Fu.
Fu Fu walked on the ground with his claws, and rubbed Jiang Long with his head from time to time.
It can be seen that Fu Fu likes Jiang Long very much.
"It was Fu Fu who saved me on the night when the extreme cold came." Jiang Long said with a smile.
The judge found out that bats' body temperature was higher than humans' before the apocalypse, and it rose again after the apocalypse.
The extreme cold of the end of the world may be a disaster for humans, but for some alien species and mutant beasts, it is just a little cold.
Even in this kind of climate, alien species can be born, which only shows that there are more than just humans in this world.
It took them half an hour to get from the square to the center of the base.
This shows that the base is not small in area, but for such a large base, there is no one inside.
Jiang Long had already gotten used to the deserted atmosphere inside the base. He led them along the way and explained the base to them.
The current base commander of their base is a chief, but like Mr. Fu, he is also very old.
But what is better than Mr. Fu is that the chief has awakened the fire-related supernatural power.
I was already short-tempered, and now it's even worse.
If the current situation was not unsuitable for going out, the old leader would have taken them to fight the aliens long ago.
The judge didn't expect the old leader to be like this. He seemed to be a straightforward person.
Si Shen and Nian Chengxiao looked at each other, and Nian Chengxiao released the little mushroom and asked them to go and find out the news.
After all, what the situation here is, is just Jiang Long's one-sided account, but what Little Mushroom overheard is the truth.
Under Jiang Long's leadership, they came to a building.
The architectural style of the Arctic Base is different from that of the interior. I wonder if Si Shen himself has preconceived notions about it.
I feel that the architecture here has a bitter, cold feeling, with a Soviet aesthetic.
Anyway, it is different from the buildings in City C that have obvious ethnic minority characteristics, and it is also different from those square buildings.
As soon as I entered the room, I felt the warmth.
The judge subconsciously rubbed his hands, and Nian Chengxiao saw it and held his hands and rubbed them.
The temperature inside the house was much higher, but it could only be maintained at a level that would not freeze people to death.
It is far from a comfortable level. 001 has not yet transformed into a human form and also feels that the temperature is a bit low.
The human form is nice, but with a temperature maintained at around five degrees, it's no big deal to be a shit-yellow trash can.
"Has Xiao Jiang been brought here?" A strong voice came over.
When the judge looked up, he saw an older man with black hair walking towards him.
The judge looked at the vigorous gait of the old man and felt that he was no match for him.
Hearing the visitor's address to Jiang Long, there was nothing unclear. This was the base commander of the extreme cold base - Zhang Cheng.
Si Shen felt that he really couldn't be lazy in the future. The old leader was now eighty years old and still so energetic.
Now he feels that every time he stands up from squatting on the ground, his vision goes dark. This is really a case of comparing goods before throwing them away.
The judge sighed for a moment, but still stepped forward to negotiate.
"Hello, Chief. I am the farmer of the base." Si Shen extended his hand.
The chief had never thought that he would actually hear the word "farmer" in the apocalypse.
To be honest, even before the end of the world, there were not many people in their country who could be called farmers.
Although their country is large, there are very few farms that can use large agricultural equipment and operate on a large scale.
Except for a few large plains, that's all.
And now in this apocalyptic world, when people can barely survive, there are people who actually say they are farmers.
What’s the difference between this and someone claiming to be a gold mine owner before the end of the world?
But the old leader still shook hands with them and invited them to the reception room.
Originally they were going to meet in the reception room, but he was impatient and came out when he heard the noise.
When they arrived at the reception room, the old leader went straight to the point.
"What are you doing in our base? Did the higher-ups know about our situation and send you here to investigate?"
The judge glanced at Jun Si, and Jun Si explained first.
"No, we came here originally to do business with the base, but we didn't expect that there were only these people in the base." Jun Si said.
The old leader did not expect to get this answer, and the excitement on his face gradually faded.
