it sleets.
The four of them were originally preparing to go back to the bedroom, but now they all gathered in front of the door to watch.
Through the observation window, you can see wet water on the ground and some reflective white balls.
Upon closer inspection, I found that it was hail, falling from the sky one by one, and each one was as big as a fist.
Kuang Qianli was shocked: "Fuck, hailstones this big! Can it kill people? How long have Master Zhang and the others been out?"
Qiao Xuejun looked at her watch: "It's been an hour."
Wang Juanfeng said thankfully: "It's okay, it's okay. We should be home now." It only takes half an hour to get to Hongmei Mountain from here.
The hail came quickly and stopped quickly, and it was over in less than ten minutes.
Zhao Linlin opened the door and picked up an ice ball from outside: "Look, it's so big."
It was indeed as big as a fist, and it was especially obvious in Zhao Linlin's hand. The ice ball was covered with white ice crystals and emitted bursts of cold air.
Wang Juanfeng warned her: "Be careful not to catch a cold, don't play this."
Qiao Xuejun also said: "It's all condensed from acid rain. Throw it away quickly."
Zhao Linlin took a look at it and threw it away with regret.
Wang Juanfeng pulled Zhao Linlin back to the cubicle and dried his hands.
Qiao Xuejun instructed: "It's dark, walk slowly, don't kick the adobe bricks."
The cubicle used a small desk lamp that I found. It lasted for a month after charging. I turned off the light when I left.
However, the adobe bricks used for the kang today are still being baked in a small compartment and need to be dried before they can be used.
"Got it." Zhao Linlin replied, and the desk lamp inside was turned on.
At night, the three of us slept together again. The two beds were put together to form one, which was just right for sleeping.
But this time, in the middle of the night, Qiao Xuejun was awakened by a sharp alarm from the system:
"Remind the host! One person has been lost in the base! One person has been lost! Survival is not easy, please pay attention to the survival of the base and try not to lose anyone!"
The system repeated the same sentence three times.
Qiao Xuejun was so shocked by the sudden alarm that she sat up from the bed: "What?"
The system said: "Host, there has been a reduction in personnel at the base. The reason is hypothermia caused by the extremely low temperature environment."
Qiao Xuejun: "It's freezing cold?"
The system's voice actually sounded somewhat like human sadness: "Yes."
"Jojo?"
Qiao Xuejun's movements were so loud that they woke up Wang Juanfeng who was standing next to her, but she just reached out her hand in a daze.
Qiao Xuejun lay down gently again. Wang Juanfeng hugged her and patted her back, murmuring, "Did you have a nightmare? Go to sleep, don't be afraid."
Qiao Xuejun really couldn't sleep well.
The weather was cold, and if the warm-keeping measures were not taken well, people would freeze to death. But Qiao Xuejun was still surprised that such a situation had occurred in the base.
Because Zhao Xian had distributed cold-resistant supplies to the base, such as a military cotton-padded jacket for each person, a certain amount of charcoal, and quilts. These would all be distributed.
Obviously, it is not enough. The weather is too cold and those with weak constitutions may not be able to bear it.
And today, when Master Zhang and his team came to make the kang, they didn’t want anything else but specifically asked for down jackets, which shows that they don’t have enough warm clothes.
no way.
Gongzhou has never dealt with such extreme weather in history, so the thermal insulation facilities are not enough. The clothes are not thick enough, the shoes are not warm enough, and the quilts are not hot enough.
System: "Host, if the number of casualties continues to increase, the previous rewards will not be issued."
The food rewards for population expansion were originally scheduled to be distributed three months later.
Qiao Xuejun closed her eyes: "Let me think about it."
Perhaps, the person who died just couldn't bear it because his health was too poor.
But in the second half of the night, Qiao Xuejun heard another warning from the system, saying that one person had been killed. The reason was the same as before, hypothermia caused by extremely low temperatures.
Two people froze to death in one night.
After getting up, Zhao Linlin's voice was the first to sound. She leaned over the observation window at the gate and shouted, "What a thick snow!"
Qiao Xuejun had just finished lighting the fire. She closed the furnace and got up and walked out of the small compartment.
"Is it snowing?"
Wang Juanfeng and Kuang Qianli were also attracted and looked outside, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so white."
It was still dark, but against the backdrop of the snow, it seemed brighter than ever.
Qiao Xuejun couldn't get in, so she asked them, "Is it still raining?"
Zhao Linlin's eyes lit up: "It's still snowing, but a little lighter. There's a lot of snow on the ground."
Some southern regions don't have snow, but Gongzhou has snow every year, one or two times a year, but not very heavy, at least not as heavy as today, the snow is so thick on the ground that it looks like it can rub your calves.
Kuang Qianli: "We have to go to the roof and sweep the snow."
Zhao Linlin: "Why? Won't it transform by itself?"
People in the south don't have this kind of activity of sweeping snow from roofs.
Kuang Qianli: "How can it melt in such a cold day? This thick snow will collapse the roof if it falls on the house. Don't underestimate the weight of the snow."
As he spoke, he looked at Qiao Xuejun again: "Will it collapse?"
After all, the house looks solid.
Qiao Xuejun shook her head: "It probably won't collapse. Let's just sweep it."
If it falls from the roof and blocks the door and windows, there is no way to get rid of it. It is better to clean it up in advance.
Several people took tools and prepared to clear the snow.
As Qiao Xuejun walked out of the door, she looked up and saw the pointed mountain opposite, but its top was gone.
A large part of the mountain's top collapsed.
