Chapter 170 Temperature Drop Notice
Li Yao’s prediction was correct. The temperature dropped rapidly in the next two days. Everyone was happy about it, but also very worried.
Many people have read apocalyptic novels, and many have guessed what the weather will be like after such a rapid drop in temperature: extreme cold.
So the people looking for supplies became even more crazy. They hadn’t felt such cool weather for a long time. They looked for supplies during the day and cut trees at night.
The people in Minghua Community were thinking about the 35th floor. They had previously laughed at the people on the 35th floor for not looking for supplies but carrying pieces of wood home. If you think about it carefully, how could they, who could live so comfortably, do such unnecessary things? They should have channels to know the weather in the future.
Li Yao was in a good mood as she watched the people busying about below. At least they knew how to cut down trees and store wood, so not many people would freeze to death in this community during the extremely cold weather.
The authorities were able to give advance notice during the last thunderstorm, so they will definitely take measures during this extremely cold weather. In her previous life, Li Yao had heard about the measures taken by the authorities to the people below in the shelter to ensure that they could survive the extreme weather.
Now that the officials know about the abnormal weather, they should start building a human base. During these six months, the officials’ scientists should have developed cold-resistant and heat-resistant materials. It is because of this that the human base can be built in the second year of extreme cold.
Zhou Chengxing looked at the bustling scene below and was eager to move: "Yaoyao, let's go chop firewood too."
"There are tools in the storage room. I'll go get them for you." Li Yao went to the storage room slowly.
Zhou Chengxing then remembered that there was a lot of coal and firewood in Li Yao's space, and Li Yao could also use electricity, so it would definitely not be cold in winter.
Li Yao found an electric saw for Zhou Chengxing, the same model that Zhou Chengxing had today.
"We won't go down. I'm not interested in cutting trees. I want to play games." Jiang Yong has become addicted to games and fights with Yan Yuansi every day. Ning Xinyue has found a good TV series and doesn't like to go out. After finishing her daily training, she stays in the room watching TV.
Now only Li Yao accompanies Zhou Chengxing out.
When Li Yao went out, he deliberately glanced at the door opposite. Now he didn't know what mood he should use to face it.
One of the original selling points of Minghua Community was its greenery, with many sturdy trees, including pine trees, cypress trees, and even many expensive trees.
Minghua Community was once a bustling community, but after three natural disasters, heavy rain, thunderstorms, and extreme heat, countless people died in the disasters. Only one-fifth of the people survived, and three hundred people were already the maximum number of people left.
Therefore, there are enough trees in Minghua Community for them to use until the human base comes to pick them up.
After solving the heating problem, the only problem left is food.
The officials also think so. Now only one in ten humans is left. If they continue to die, it will be the end of us.
Fortunately, this time we have been given enough time and it has been predicted that there will be heavy rains later, but they will not be as deadly as the first natural disaster. The deadly thing is yet to come. According to observations, there will still be extreme weather and extreme cold later.
After enduring the extreme weather at the beginning and adapting to it, there was nothing wrong with it. But their people discovered that a deadly virus had appeared in the United States and South Korea. It was highly contagious and could still move even after death. Simply put, it was a zombie virus. A biochemical crisis was coming.
The extreme cold will limit the virus. China will be safe during this period of cooling temperature. As for the island country, it was flooded by seawater during the first natural disaster. This terrible, dirty and crime-ridden country will no longer appear on Earth from now on.
The authorities decided to continue distributing supplies, and the amount given was much more than during the thunderstorm. If they ate in a planned way, they could survive until the day when the human base was built. Moreover, the people who were still alive now had adapted to the environment and had some food in their hands, and the official food was enough.
The authorities immediately mobilized supplies and distributed them overnight.
Li Yao followed behind Zhou Chengxing and watched him chop at the tree roots.
Seeing his enthusiasm, Li Yao said to him, "Director Zhou, after you cut down the tree, cut off the extra branches, collect them together, and then cut it into sections, and then divide each section of the tree into small strips."
There were no small wooden sticks at all. It was just that Zhou Chengxing had too much physical strength, so Li Yao tortured him.
Zhou Chengxing did as Li Yao said. After cutting down three trees in a row, he trimmed the branches and chopped them into pieces. With a chainsaw in hand, he was not afraid of anything.
Li Yao looked at Zhou Chengxing, who had endless energy all day long and was now rushing towards the fourth tree.
"Director Zhou." Li Yao called out. Seeing that people had stopped, she said, "Director Zhou, how about we send these up first?"
Director Zhou thought about it and said, "Okay." There's nothing special about this.
It was obvious that Zhou Chengxing had no idea about the height of the 35th floor. The temperature was now 20 degrees, which was just comfortable. She wore a mask and watched the firewood at the door of the apartment building, allowing Zhou Chengxing to go up and down. She dared to swear that there was no place safer than Building 43 in the entire Xingqing City.
Everyone living in this building is very cautious, and they don't even dare to make loud noises when going up or down the stairs. Although the 35th floor is a bit scary, they have to admit that living here really makes them feel safe.
After hearing that the temperature was going to drop, everyone was busy cutting down trees and moving land to Building 43, hoping to be sheltered from the next extreme weather.
Li Yao sat here quietly, attracting many people's attention, but no one dared to act rashly.
But the firewood around Li Yao was piled high, and many people could not chop so much even if they chopped it in an entire night.
Some smart people don’t know what the weather will be like in the future, so they cut off one and drag it back home. When the severe cold comes, they will slowly cut it at home. They focus on efficiency now so that they will have something to do in the future.
Soon everyone was like this man, but people living on the high floors moved up in several groups. Many people regretted living on the high floors, but now no one is willing to live below the tenth floor. If there is another flood, they don't need to struggle and might as well jump into the water and commit suicide.
There are also people coming here from the neighboring community to live here. Many people in the neighboring community have heard that there is someone protecting Building 43, and they come here to seek a stable life.
"Little girl, you must be very tired after moving all by yourself. We can help you. We are not greedy. Just give us half."
The three men came forward and looked greedily at the firewood beside Li Yao.
"Aren't you from our community?" Li Yao found it very strange. In Minghua Community, few people talked to the people in Building 43.
"Yes, we come here to live. We heard it's safe here." The three of them came forward again.
Everyone was busy cutting down trees and few people paid attention to this side. Li Yao's hand had already touched the nail gun behind him.
Seeing that the little girl ignored them, several people thought she was scared and continued to move forward.
"What are you doing?" Yan Yi had been watching Li Yao from upstairs. When he saw someone approaching Li Yao, he hurried downstairs.
