Chapter 127 The temperature drops again
Although the waves outside have not completely disappeared, their impact has been much smaller and cannot reach places as high as the 20th floor.
Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci worked for a long time before they finally cleaned up the garbage outside the glass.
After finishing, she immediately closed all the windows, turned on the air purifier, and sprayed air freshener everywhere.
The smell outside is really foul.
Wang Jia and Tang Wei also contacted her using the intercom.
All the glass in their homes was shattered, and the whole house was filled with all kinds of garbage. There was no place to step, and they didn't even know where to start cleaning up.
But the two of them were lucky.
Before they left, they put all the supplies in the bathroom because they felt sorry for the supplies left behind, and blocked the door with a wardrobe after they were done.
So the supplies were basically preserved.
Although it was inevitable that some of the food was soaked in water, fortunately the loss was not great.
This is the only consolation.
Shi Jiaojiao also specially sent a large bucket of disinfectant downstairs.
The quantity is not much, but it is enough if you save a little.
Wang Jia and Tang Wei did not take it for free, they exchanged it with supplies.
The most dangerous time had passed, and Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci had a simple meal.
Because they had been up all night, both of them could hardly keep their eyes open, so they went straight into the bedroom to catch up on some sleep.
When she woke up the next day, Shi Jiaojiao picked up the phone beside her pillow.
4:30 in the morning.
I slept for a full sixteen hours.
Shi Jiaojiao's whole body was soft.
After waking up, the first thing I felt was that the temperature had dropped again.
The stove was burning brightly, it must have been burned by Mu Ci who got up.
Shi Jiaojiao finished washing up and came to the living room.
The temperature shown on the room thermometer hanging in the living room is 10℃.
Shi Jiaojiao took out a thermometer from the space and measured the outdoor temperature.
At this time the temperature has reached minus 20 degrees Celsius.
The first signs of extreme cold have already appeared.
She rubbed her hands and poured a cup of hot water to warm herself.
During breakfast, neither of them had much appetite.
Seeing Shi Jiaojiao struggling, Mu Ci spoke directly, "Drink some chicken soup, and pick two other dishes. We will drink two bowls every day to replenish our energy in the next few days."
Shi Jiaojiao nodded.
Mu Ci had cooked the chicken soup in advance and added cordyceps to it, making it perfect for nourishing the body.
The external environment is very bad now, with corpses and bacteria everywhere, it is like a deadly poison circle.
But the two of them can't just stay at home and not go out for the sake of safety.
In order to survive, they must adapt to changes in the external environment as quickly as possible.
However, in order to reduce the risk of disease, it is still necessary to drink more soups and water to nourish the body.
After dinner, Shi Jiaojiao opened the curtains and took a look outside.
The tsunami has completely passed and the water flow has gradually calmed down.
There was a faint sound of crying coming from downstairs.
The water level temporarily reached the 10th floor and did not continue to rise.
On the night when the tsunami hit, some people were lucky and fast enough to climb to the upper floors and escape in the corridor.
Before some people could call for help, the glass in their homes was shattered by the roaring waves, and the people were also swept away by the waves like the broken glass, leaving no bodies behind.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, the satellite phone suddenly rang.
Shi Jiaojiao followed the sound and searched for a long time before she found the satellite phone that had appeared under the coffee table for some reason.
Xiao Hei covered his head and shrank to one side, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
As soon as the call was connected, Qin Jun's anxious voice was heard.
"Xiao Shi, how are you and Mu Ci?"
"We are all fine. We got through it. How are you guys?"
Shi Jiaojiao was a little surprised that Qin Jun would call her.
Qin Jun sighed. "The government had machines to detect this tsunami, but the result at the time was that it would occur a month later. The authorities were afraid of causing panic among the people, so they didn't notify us. We have been evacuating the people for some time."
When he said this, his voice was a little dry. "No one expected that a tsunami would suddenly appear. None of the teams that went out to carry out the mission returned."
Shi Jiaojiao listened in silence, feeling a little heavy-hearted.
Natural disasters never reason with humans.
Although the country has done its utmost to prepare and tried every possible means to protect the safety of the people, accidents always come so suddenly.
"I'm relieved that you're all right."
The two chatted briefly and then hung up the phone.
Shi Jiaojiao sat on the sofa and couldn't help but think of the teams of soldiers who had sacrificed their lives.
In the afternoon, Shi Jiaojiao had nothing to do, so she and Mu Ci put on protective clothing and went downstairs to help.
Tang Wei and Wang Jia's house was badly damaged, and cleaning it out would be a huge project.
When Shi Jiaojiao came down, she saw that Tang Wei and Wang Jia were also wearing protective clothing with masks underneath.
It seems that the two of them were not careless.
After a busy afternoon, the two houses were finally cleaned and ready for living.
But the glass was broken, which was also a big problem.
The temperature is so low now that we absolutely cannot survive without glass.
Shi Jiaojiao said, "When I was looking for anti-corrosion materials before, there was still a lot of glass left. I also have decoration materials. Let's find a way to install it first."
The glass dimensions are certainly not exact.
Fortunately, everyone had tools and cement on hand.
It was installed successfully despite some bumps and bruises.
It doesn’t matter whether it looks good or not, as long as it’s windproof.
In addition to these, Shi Jiaojiao took down a few more pieces of plastic sheets.
All of them are nailed to the glass, which provides double protection and can also make the indoor temperature higher.
I hammered and banged until midnight.
At night, Shi Jiaojiao wanted the two of them to sleep upstairs first.
However, Tang Wei and Wang Jia both refused.
If you can handle it yourself, there is no need to trouble others.
Shi Jiaojiao did not force them and left two batteries for each of them.
Wang Jia and her husband's small sunshade and electric blanket are both in good condition, and they can easily get through the night relying on the batteries.
They also have coal, which, although soaked in water, does not affect its use except that it is difficult to ignite.
Compared to others, they are already very happy.
The next morning, Shi Jiaojiao opened her eyes and stretched, but had no intention of getting up.
The weather is too cold, who can bear to leave the warm bed.
She curled up in the quilt, watching the tablet to pass the time.
At around eight o'clock, a scream suddenly came from outside the window.
After a while, the whole community became lively.
Shi Jiaojiao was a little curious and lifted the curtain.
Unexpectedly, there were quite a few residents outside, fishing for something in the water.
There was a rare smile on everyone's face.
It’s not like they don’t know that there are dangers lurking in the murky water.
But in order to survive, there was no other way except to salvage things from the water.
Some houses were washed away and all their food supplies were gone.
If you eat, you die; if you don’t eat, you also die.
Then why not eat your fill before you die?
There were many dead bodies in the water. When people came across a dead body while salvaging something, they would push it away with a stick with no expression on their faces.
Everyone has become accustomed to seeing corpses everywhere, or one could say they have become numb to it.
Shi Jiaojiao lowered the curtains. She had no shortage of supplies and did not join in the fun.
But she didn't expect that something happened to Wang Jia.
