Qiao Xuejun wasn't the only one. The other three people also saw it and stood there in shock: "Did the opposite side collapse?"
Qiao Xuejun paused and looked at the mountain from a distance, a little shocked: "System, you really got it right? Is Shen Xingtang dead?"
System: "...No. Host, that's the heroine. She won't die."
Qiao Xuejun: "You didn't die even when the mountain collapsed?"
System: “You won’t die.”
Qiao Xuejun looked at it and found it was true. She was the heroine and could not die, but what about the others?
Obviously, a large part of the mountain collapsed, and rocks rolled down. This kind of disaster cannot be resisted by human power. In earthquakes, you can also increase your survival rate by hiding near solid shelters such as load-bearing walls, and those on lower floors can quickly run to an open area.
But there is almost no place to hide in this kind of landslide. And at night, the death rate will be very high.
Qiao Xuejun: "...I don't know if the people on that mountain have evacuated."
Kuang Qianli: "I heard Sister Chen gossiping yesterday. Only a few families were evacuated. The others were forced to relocate by the First Base. They were forced to move at gunpoint. Sister Chen said it was like escorting prisoners."
Sister Chen is Master Zhang’s wife. Yesterday, they were making a kang at home and Kuang Qianli helped. Sister Zhang was talking to Kuang Qianli next to them. Both of them were talkative and chatted a lot.
Kuang Qianli: "But there are countermeasures for every policy. Some people just don't want to move and want to run to the mountains. The First Base can't lock them up. Especially the 7th Base. Once the door is closed, it's like a turtle shell. The Mountain Leopard Squadron can't bombard it."
So the relocation work did not go smoothly.
There are many people living in the mountains, and I don’t know if they were affected by the landslides caused by the snowstorm. The temperature was low last night, and there was another disaster…
Qiao Xuejun: "What was the lowest temperature last night?"
System: "I don't know, but according to the plot that has been unlocked so far, the extreme cold has arrived, and the lowest temperature can reach -72℃."
Qiao Xuejun stood there and looked at the mountain for a while. A gust of cold wind blew by, and she came back to her senses: "Sweep the snow. I'll go take a look after you finish."
There wasn't much snow on their roof because they had installed a water filtration system that brought water down from the roof and heated and filtered it.
The chimney pipe for boiling water also exhausts smoke through the roof, and that area is warm and half melted.
·
After sweeping the snow, Qiao Xuejun put on her clothes, put on a mask, and was about to go out with a flashlight.
Kuang Qianli called her: "You're going out now? Without waiting for the snow to melt?"
Qiao Xuejun: "I'll go find out what's going on over there. We're also experiencing soil erosion here, and I'm afraid it's the same as theirs."
She was also a little concerned about the two people who died last night.
Kuang Qianli: "The snow is thick and the road is slippery. You can't go out like this. Wait, I'll make you a pair of crampons."
After he finished speaking, he went to the studio, and Zhao Linlin followed him: "Master Kuang, what are ice claws?"
Kuang Qianli: "Never seen it? The snow is thick and the road is slippery, wear crampons to prevent slipping."
Zhao Linlin: "In winter, we tie a cloth strap or straw sticks on the soles of our shoes to prevent slipping."
Kuang Qianli worked quickly, with the sound of bangs and crashes ringing in the studio, and he finished in a short while.
"Try it on, put it on your shoes."
Kuang Qianli was holding a pair of rubber things inlaid with iron sheets and nails, and the shape of them looked like they were worn on shoes.
Qiao Xuejun put it on her shoes and tied the straps. The iron pieces were then on the soles of her shoes and felt like they could pierce through the floor.
Kuang Qianli: "Go outside and try to see if you can walk steadily?"
Qiao Xuejun took off his crampons and went outside.
Because their house had a wide roof, there was not much snow around it, so she walked outside a few steps first.
She expected to step into soft snow that looked like it would come up to her calves.
But surprisingly, the snow was not as soft as she had imagined. When she stepped on it, it only made a slight creaking sound and sank slightly, firming up the snow, which seemed to have turned into ice.
A bit slippery and unstable.
Qiao Xuejun stepped back, put on the crampons, and went up to try it again.
When she stepped on it, she could clearly feel the crampons under her feet gripping the ice and snow deeply, and she no longer felt like she would slide forward 200 meters at any time.
She took two careful steps without slipping.
She turned around and gave Kuang Qianli a thumbs up: "God Kuang, it's great."
Kuang Qianli was somewhat proud: "Not bad, not bad. I can improve it when you come back after your trip."
Qiao Xuejun: "Make a few more pairs. They are quite useful."
Kuang Qianli: "Sure, they're just some rubber and scrap metal. No trouble."
After saying hello to his teammates, Qiao Xuejun started to go down the mountain.
After she walked out, she found that something was different today, as there was no one in the patrol booth on the mountain road.
But from the patrol booth, a path stretched out on the snowy road covered with mud, sand and firewood ashes.
The cold wind was howling, the air was filled with the smell of ice and snow, and the branches could not bear the pressure of the snow, so they fell down and snapped. Qiao Xuejun pulled the scarf up, covering most of her face, leaving only her eyes exposed.
She walked along the wood-ash paths until she reached the gate of the base.
She understood. It must be that the patrol soldiers of the First Base discovered that it was snowing, so they reported it to the base. The base then paved a road on the snow with ash from burned wood and coal to facilitate the patrol soldiers to walk.
It was freezing all the way, especially when I walked in the snow with my shoes. My feet felt the coldness penetrate into the bones through the shoes, and they were numb in a short while.
Qiao Xuejun felt that the air she exhaled was quickly getting colder and colder in the mask, and was about to turn into ice: "It's really too cold. I've never been this cold before."
