After a night of revelry, everyone was exhausted and took a nap, sweeping away the gloom and fatigue of the past month.
When Lin's father got up in the morning, he wiped the condensation off the window. The large thermometer outside showed that the temperature had reached minus seventy-eight degrees Celsius.
This large thermometer was custom-made by Lin Anran before the apocalypse, originally intended as a landmark for her agritourism business, hence the use of specific materials.
Lin Anran only remembered this two or three days before the extreme weather.
"Sis! It's so cold today! Even with the fireplace on, it's not very warm. Will the temperature keep dropping?"
Lin Anran had long forgotten these details; apart from particularly important matters, her memories of the past six years were very faint.
“I forgot! But I remember that the cold weather lasted for three months. When the sun rose that morning, there was more grief and weeping than cheering.”
Lin's mother gently stroked the cat, holding Tuantuan in her arms, and slowly said, "This time, there won't be another tragic situation like that, after all, everyone is trying their best to live! Right!"
Jiang Rong stood quietly by the window, holding a cup of hot coffee.
Large hailstones pounded against the metal plate outside the window, while the wind howled incessantly.
"Mmm, what a beautiful view!"
A zombie flew past the window, baring its teeth and claws.
Everyone: ...How elegant!
Half a month passed in a flash, and the broadcast was restored, the long-lost sound resounding throughout the base.
"Notice! Notice! Survivors! Hello everyone, this is Base Commander Chen Chao. I'm happy to inform you all that power has been restored starting today. Please hold on, the darkness will soon be over, and we will succeed!"
"Notice! Notice! Survivors! Hello everyone, this is Base Commander Chen Chao. I'm happy to inform you all that power has been restored starting today. Please hold on, the darkness will soon be over, and we will succeed!"
"Notification! Notification!..."
Lin Yu turned off the generator in the sunroom and stretched.
"It's finally back to normal! I don't need to waste my talents today."
"What do you mean by 'using a great talent for a small task'? You're just making use of waste."
"mom!"
"Hahahaha!" Jiang Rong looked on with amusement.
All eyes turned to her, and she coughed. "Actually, I think Xiaoyu is really great. At least he's still useful."
Lin Yu: "Auntie, are you praising me or making fun of me?"
"Of course it's a compliment!"
Lin's father: "But speaking of which, now that the power is back on and the extreme weather is over, will there be a zombie horde this time?"
When she received everyone's gaze, Lin Anran shook her head.
Lin Yu jumped up happily, "Great! I don't have to be so tired this time!"
Lin Anran spoke quietly: "What I mean is, I don't know either. I was in the lab during that time, so I don't know either."
The group of people, who were initially happy, immediately turned pale. This typhoon brought not only trash, but also zombies that were blown around by the wind.
These past few days, Lin Anran has been busy tidying up the space, and she had long forgotten about the three people in that villa. Today, the phone rang, and she turned on the projector, where the footage from the surveillance camera appeared on the big screen.
Where are they?
Lin Yu took a bite of his apple and stared curiously at the screen. The living room floor was covered in blood and ashes from the fire, and the sofa that had been used to block the windows was nowhere to be seen.
Lin Anran shook her head, "In this cold weather, if they're not dead, then they must have escaped."
With nothing else to watch, Lin Anran turned off the monitor and played "Running Man," a show she hadn't watched in a long time. Familiar celebrities were chatting happily, which looked very heartwarming.
"Now that it's the apocalypse, I wonder what's going on with these celebrities? Are they in some kind of base? Will we ever have a chance to see them again?"
Lin's mother was lost in her imagination, surrounded by four or five handsome male celebrities who kept praising her for being amazing.
Lin's father saw it immediately and said helplessly, "Don't even think about it. There are so many safe bases; the probability of us running into one is still very small!"
"I know! Can't I even imagine it?"
"Then imagine it! I'll go make you a cup of taro milk tea!"
"I want one too! Original flavor, thanks!"
Inside the space, Lin Anran looked at the vegetable garden where flowers were blooming and fruits were being harvested, and she was in a particularly good mood.
Lin's father grew up in the countryside, and this farming instinct seemed to be innate to him; he wielded a shovel with incredible speed every day.
After New Year's Day, the hailstones decreased in size from the size of a fist to the size of a fingernail, and even the strong winds subsided considerably.
The base began sending people out to search for victims, and they were fully armed as they went through the streets and alleys.
Lin Yu saw the Su brothers, Su Xing and Su Ling, participating in the search through the window. They waved vigorously through their thick protective suits. Only after seeing that everyone was safe did the two continue walking forward.
The hailstones, combined with the low temperature, froze into ice, causing many volunteers to slip and fall. However, after four or five days of searching, many survivors were rescued.
By the early morning of the last day of the third month, the hail gradually subsided, and the typhoon turned into a gentle breeze.
After people got up, sunlight streamed through the window cracks and onto the floor. People cheered and shouted with joy. This time, they had succeeded. After three whole months, they had finally won!
The zombies in the base have all been cleared out, and the survivors are orderly cleaning up the thick ice in front of their own doors.
As the base commander, Chen Chao personally inspected the entire base and found no casualties except for a few injured personnel.
Little Jelly stayed at Lin Anran's house and was so happy that she couldn't find her way around.
Her small figure sat on the sofa, holding her big black dog and talking to herself, "Doggy, can you tell me what to do?"
Dad looks so tired right now, and I want to help him.
Lin Anran came in from outside and saw the little jelly with her face scrunched up. She gently hugged the little girl who was talking to herself from behind.
"What's wrong? Little Jelly, you don't seem very happy. Do you miss your dad?"
"No! Sister Ranran, I just feel that Dad is working so hard!"
Lin Anran gently pinched her little nose. "Little Jelly, you still worry about your dad? Don't worry, the base will be done with work soon, and then Daddy can spend time with you!"
"No! Daddy has to go out!"
"Huh? What are you going out for?"
Lin Anran was puzzled; she hadn't heard that Uncle Chen was going out.
"Someone sent a distress signal to Dad, and Dad has to rush over to save them!"
Little Jelly recalled her father's determined expression that day, and she knew he would definitely go this time; she was just a little worried.
"Who sent the signal? And where are they going?"
Lin Anran racked her brains but couldn't recall it at all, so she had no choice but to ask when she had time!
