Chapter 260 Cooling Down
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci continued to measure the temperature.
But this time, as soon as she opened the door, Shi Jiaojiao felt a flash of red light before her eyes, and it disappeared so fast that she couldn't even see it clearly.
She frowned and was about to turn around to ask Mu Ci if he had seen the red light, when suddenly a biting cold wind blew towards her.
Shi Jiaojiao only felt a handful of needles suddenly stuffed into her nasal cavity, and then her face lost consciousness, and she was almost frozen into an ice sculpture.
As soon as Mu Ci sensed something was wrong, he immediately pulled the person back and quickly closed the door with a "bang".
Shi Jiaojiao kept shivering in Mu Ci's arms, and her lips were shaking uncontrollably.
The temperature drop came so quickly and so steeply!
She really wanted to curse at the evil God now.
Who could have guessed this!
This is not a sudden drop in temperature, this is simply a one-click temperature change in the game.
God is basically treating them as NPCs!
However, her body was frozen, but her mind was still working. She immediately pulled Mu Ci into the space to quickly warm up her body.
Fortunately, the two of them closed the door quickly enough, and apart from their bodies being a little frozen, there was nothing serious wrong with them.
Take a hot bath and don't even need to apply frostbite cream.
As soon as Shi Jiaojiao came out of the bathroom and entered the living room, Mu Ci stuffed a cup of steaming ginger and jujube tea into her hand.
The warm warmth from the cup wall flowed from the fingertips to the palms, and then to all parts of the body, making the whole body feel much more comfortable.
The two of them put on thick clothes and did not stay in the space for long.
After returning to the cave, Mu Ci first turned the air conditioner to heating mode.
During the day, Jiaojiao turned out some heating supplies that had been used in the extreme cold and piled them all in a corner of the cave.
When they were digging the cave, they did not anticipate the temperature to drop during the polar day, and did not leave a smoke vent, so they had no choice but to use a stove. However, they could use a small solar heater or electric blanket.
If the effect of one is not very good, then put a few more. There are quite a few of these things in the space anyway.
In order to prevent the generator from being overwhelmed by too many electrical appliances, Mu Ci connected these small appliances to batteries.
Shi Jiaojiao picked up the intercom. Although Wang Jia and Tang Wei would not open the door rashly under normal circumstances, she still had to remind them for safety reasons.
"Hurry up and turn on the sunroofs. It's getting colder outside. Don't open the door to check the situation. It's too cold outside. It's very dangerous."
When they received the message, Wang Jia and Tang Wei were sitting around the table cooking hotpot.
The two of them followed Shi Jiaojiao to store a lot of supplies during the extremely hot weather. In fact, if you really think about it, they are not poor.
I just don’t know when the apocalypse will end, so I try to save as much as possible every time I eat.
Anyway, I'm hiding in the cave every day, there's nothing important to do, and I can handle eating less.
But yesterday's bloody day and today's off-the-charts temperature made the two of them feel like throwing away everything.
What's the point of storing so much food? What if one day they can't make it and die, they will be so vomited to death when they think about how they searched and searched so hard before and couldn't bear to eat or drink?
The two discussed it and decided to have a big meal to comfort their fragile little hearts.
However, it has been almost three years since the end of the world, and neither of them has made much progress in cooking, so they finally decided to eat hotpot.
Simple, delicious, and cooks everything.
It's just a little hot, but there is air conditioning in the cave, so this shortcoming is completely tolerable.
The steam from the hot pot rose up, and the whole cave was filled with a spicy aroma.
The two were sweating while eating when the temperature outside suddenly dropped. In addition, the cave was well sealed, so they did not notice it at first.
Even if I felt the chill, I thought it was because I was sweating from eating the hotpot, and the air conditioner was so obvious on my body.
When he heard the intercom ringing, Wang Jiagang took a mouthful of vermicelli and slurped up the red soup, which was extremely delicious.
She originally wanted to share their dinner with Shi Jiaojiao, but was choked by the word "cool down".
I was choked by the chili oil and started coughing violently. I drank two sips of water before I felt better.
Wang Jia wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her face full of disbelief: "The temperature has dropped?"
Shi Jiaojiao said, "Hurry up and prepare what needs to be prepared."
After the two of them exchanged a few words, they hung up the intercom.
Wang Jia and Tang Wei immediately stood up and took out the small sun electric blankets they had prepared earlier.
As for the leftover hotpot on the table, it’s already critical time, who has time to care about that!
That night, the four of them experienced the pain of extreme cold again.
Although the cave was not like an ice cellar, it was not much better.
With every breath, I could feel a stinging pain spreading from my throat to my lungs.
Wang Jia and Tang Wei were shivering under two thick quilts.
Wang Jia held the walkie-talkie and said, "When it was hot, I thought every day that it would be better if the weather could be cooler, but now it's really cold, and I start to miss the high temperature again."
Shi Jiaojiao, who was on the other end of the intercom, was also curled up in the quilt, nodding in agreement with a cup of hot water in her hand.
Who says it isn’t?
Wang Jia sighed: "Jiaojiao, do you think the temperature will rise again tomorrow?"
"I think so." Shi Jiaojiao said.
Tang Wei sighed beside him: "Damn, this kind of life is too hard."
Shi Jiaojiao silently added one in her heart.
Wang Jia trembled and comforted him: "Think positively, I think life will always give you some sweetness."
Tang Wei: "I've already been soaked in coptis water, how can there be any sugar?"
Wang Jia silently uttered two words: "Absurd."
Shi Jiaojiao was so amused by this reply that she laughed out loud, and the water in the cup almost spilled out. Even Mu Ci curled the corners of his lips.
That night, none of the four of them slept, or it could be said that they couldn't sleep at all.
Before Shi Jiaojiao had time to put the thermometer outside that night, she was slapped in the face by the cold wind, so she had no idea how low the temperature outside had dropped.
But judging from the temperature in the cave, it's at least minus fifty degrees Celsius outside.
She took a sip of the hot water and sighed.
Yesterday they were talking about how the death toll was not too high because the authorities had set up shelters after the polar day, but today the temperature dropped sharply.
She didn't know how many people would die in the city in this disaster, but she knew with her toes that the situation would not be any better.
There was a serious food shortage after the end of the world, and basically everyone was malnourished and their physical condition was not very good. In addition, disasters occurred one after another, and both the body and mind were under tremendous pressure.
Now there was a sudden drop in the temperature, and even I could hardly react, let alone others.
The survivors in the shelter are fine, after all, there are officials watching over them like a mother hen.
But it is not so easy for the survivors who are taking refuge alone.
If the temperature drops slowly, the death toll will not be too high, after all, everyone has survived the extreme cold.
But now the temperature has changed too much all of a sudden, which is extreme hypothermia. The human body cannot accept it all of a sudden, and it is very easy to cause sudden death after cardiac arrest.
