Chapter 175 Smile before Death
After four days of continuous invasion, the cold wave finally receded.
Although the wind and snow have weakened, the cold is still more biting than before.
Not only did the temperature not rise, but it dropped to minus 75 degrees Celsius, reaching an unprecedented low temperature.
Through the window, the boundary between heaven and earth seemed to disappear, and everything was grayish white.
The whole world seemed to have been paused.
It's so lonely.
Shi Jiaojiao and the other three stayed at home and recovered from their injuries.
Although the physical fitness improvement pills cannot turn a person into an indestructible body, they can help injuries recover quickly.
Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci's blackened hands and feet had visibly improved.
Tang Wei and Wang Jia recovered more slowly.
However, the four of them were already considered lucky.
Although the recovery was slow, it did not reach the point of amputation.
In this era where danger is everywhere, whether you lose an arm or a leg, the outcome is basically predictable.
In the few days after confirming their relationship, Shi Jiaojiao still felt a little uncomfortable, and even didn't dare to look Mu Ci in the eye when talking to him.
The sudden transition from siblings to lovers was really too sudden.
When Mu Ci found out, Jiaojiao still felt a little awkward, so he didn't try to change anything deliberately.
But Shi Jiaojiao knew that it was still different.
At least before, her brother wouldn't ask her for a goodnight kiss before going to bed.
But I don't resist it.
Just when a few people were recuperating from their injuries, a new round of instant killing began.
Although Shi Jiaojiao knew that the chances of her winning were slim, she still insisted on participating despite her disability.
The result was exactly as she thought.
Nothing was grabbed.
Mu Ci was afraid that Shi Jiaojiao would feel disappointed, so he comforted her by saying that the important thing was to participate.
Shi Jiaojiao was not disappointed at all.
She was mentally prepared.
It used to be a competition of hand speed, but now the injury on my hand hasn’t healed yet, how can I possibly beat others?
The rest of the time, I just eat and drink in the Golden House and listen to music on a lounge chair in the courtyard.
It was so comfortable that I almost forgot the existence of the end of the world.
With Mu Ci's silent efforts, Shi Jiaojiao finally adapted to their new relationship.
During this period of time, Mu Ci was very restrained. Apart from being a little more intimate than before, there was basically no change.
This also relieved Shi Jiaojiao's panic about this relationship.
If you think about it carefully, being with Mu Ci is not bad.
There will be no third person coming between them, and there will be no disagreements because of others.
However, the undercurrents between the two of them could not be hidden from Wang Jia's eyes.
Something is wrong.
Something is so wrong.
Although Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci still get along as before, there is an inexplicable sense of atmosphere between them.
Shi Jiaojiao always had a stern face, but occasionally her eyes would become flustered when she looked at Mu Ci.
The two siblings have known each other for so many years, why are they so flustered for no reason?
Moreover, Mu Ci, this big ice cube, always has a smile on his face, as if he is afraid that others don’t know that he is happy.
Wang Jia had some vague guesses in her mind, but she didn't reveal them.
While the small team was lying down to recuperate, someone in Tiantai Community secretly left with his luggage.
That’s right, it’s the girl who lives on the 15th floor.
Ever since she was beaten up by Mu Ci, she has had nightmares every day.
That kind of fear was even greater than when she was in He Tianhu's team.
In that place, the most you can do is serve men and contribute your body.
As long as you are willing to listen, your life can be said to be much better than that of other people out there.
But last time, she almost died at the hands of Mu Ci.
Until now, whenever she closed her eyes, she could see Mu Ci's murderous and extremely cold eyes.
There is also the pain of suffocation and the despair before death.
She didn't want to experience it again.
Not to mention hooking up with Mu Ci, she didn't dare to trust any man now.
In the end times, murder is all too common.
What if she didn’t die at the hands of Mu Ci, but died at the hands of another man?
Relying on men is life-threatening.
Otherwise, try to rely on yourself?
The girl felt a little unsure, but if she wanted to survive, it seemed she had no other choice.
In fact, she has felt that her memory has declined significantly in the past few days.
Often, what we wanted to do in the last second is forgotten in the blink of an eye.
She knew that this was the aftereffect of suffocation.
But even so, she didn't dare to complain at all.
She was already satisfied as long as she could keep her life.
As soon as the cold wave stopped, the girls carried their luggage that had already been packed.
He also held a machete in his hand.
This was hidden at He Tianhu's place at that time.
She has not been idle at home these days.
Sharpen the blade to an extremely sharp edge.
She doesn't have much fighting power, but if the knife was sharper, her chances of survival would be better, right?
She didn't know how long she could live.
But he still walked out of Tiantai Community with determination.
***
After confirming that the cold wave was really over, the authorities took action immediately.
The government was responsible for logistics, while the army sent a number of soldiers.
Their mission is to rescue survivors who did not have time to return due to the cold wave.
Although the possibility is not high, but what if?
What if someone persists and waits quietly for rescue?
However, as the soldiers marched out in groups, all they saw were corpses.
It’s not quite accurate to call them corpses; they are more like “ice sculptures”.
His whole body was covered with a thick layer of frost, and his limbs were stiff, as if they would break at any time.
The further the soldiers went, the more "ice sculptures" they encountered.
The places of death vary, the postures vary, and the ages vary.
But the only thing in common is that they all had a faint smile on their faces.
It seems like he didn’t die in the snow, but died in a beautiful illusion.
There is a part of the "ice sculpture" that is completely naked, with all the clothes placed next to it.
This is before death. In order to protect the heart, the blood in the body flows back from the limbs to the atrium.
At this time, the human body can feel warmth.
That's why they have satisfied smiles on their faces.
The soldiers collected any bodies they came across.
There is no better way to deal with it now, so we have to burn it with fire.
With each additional corpse collected, the soldiers felt more depressed.
These are the people of their country.
They could be someone's parents, someone's children, or their families could be waiting for them to return home.
But they stayed in this land of ice and snow forever.
There were also a few survivors who managed to survive the cold wave.
This is a small team of eight people, but in the end only three of them persisted until now.
When the cold wave came, there happened to be a building nearby and they still had some food on them, so they managed to survive.
However, when the soldiers found them, the three men were in very bad condition. One of their legs was already at the gate of death, and they were unconscious and in a semi-comatose state.
The soldiers quickly gave first aid, fed the man food, then carried him on their backs and ran to a warmer place.
A sudden cold wave took too many lives.
They didn't want another person to die.
