Chapter 28 The Arrival of Extreme Cold
Yin Zhiwen heard that the three had been doing physical training on the 21st floor for more than a week, so he began to provide them with targeted teaching in stages.
Yin Shan is good at killing with one blow, but her patience is limited. Yin Zhiwen asked her to embroider and she was not allowed to eat until she finished.
Guan Yunhua has enough concentration, and Wang Lu is a scientific researcher. Neither of them has the ability to fight in close combat, so Yin Zhiwen teaches them fighting skills.
Hou Ting has enough ability to protect herself, but her ability to withstand blows is not strong. Yin Zhiwen asked her to provoke Yin Shan when Yin Shan became impatient while embroidering, and to punch her at other times, and each time she ended up with a bruised face.
As domestic pets, the four little ones are nice to everyone they meet. Yin Zhiwen requires them to eat raw meat to get familiar with the smell of blood first. He does not allow them to eat anything other than raw meat and water.
Yin Shan: It would be nice to open an embroidery shop in the future.
Guan Yunhua: Who am I and where am I? How should I have attacked that person just now?
Wang Lu: I still like the herring potion, ugh
Hou Ting: I got beaten, ah~ I got beaten again!
Almost half a month passed like this. During this time, except for collecting relief food, the few of them did not go out again. Wang Qiang also kept his promise and did not let other people in the building cause trouble. Yin Shan also occasionally gave Wang Qiang some compressed biscuits and cigarettes.
Although Wang Qiang was puzzled by the change in Yin Shan's attitude towards him, he had also been on the edge of a knife and shed blood in the past, so he could naturally feel the aura of Yin Shan and his daughter. It was a murderous aura that crawled out from a sea of blood and corpses. Therefore, every time Wang Qiang faced the people on the 21st and 22nd floors, he was very polite.
As for the people in the building who had been clamoring to go to the two upper floors to look for supplies, Wang Qiang didn't waste any words. If one came, he would get a big bag. If two came, he would get two big bags!
Later, Wang Qiang simply found an unowned house on the 20th floor and moved there. He would beat up anyone who caused trouble.
Seeing Wang Qiang's attitude, Yin Shan knew that he was trying to curry favor with her, but she didn't try to stop him. Feeling the temperature change, Yin Shan still reminded him, "It's getting colder. Be careful."
Wang Qiang was a little overwhelmed by Yin Shan's sudden "concern". He rubbed his hands and said, "Sister, I'm shameless to call you sister, but I have thick skin and can withstand cold weather. You just need to be careful!"
Yin Shan smiled and said, "Brother Wang, keep warm!"
After two consecutive reminders, and considering that Yin Shan's family seemed to have some background, Wang Qiang felt that Yin Shan might know some official inside information, so he nodded and said, "I'll make a note of it. Don't worry, sister, don't forget to collect the relief food tomorrow."
Yin Shan nodded and returned to the 22nd floor.
During these days, Yin Shan gradually calmed down. Guan Yunhua and the other two were drilled by Yin Zhiwen every day until they lost their minds. Only Hou Ting, with her panda eyes, was optimistic and told Yin Shan, "Shan Shan, play on the left side today. It looks better when it's symmetrical!"
Yin Shan twitched his lips and said, "Why don't you use the protective gear?"
Hou Ting said, "First of all, wearing protective gear and getting beaten up won't make me more resilient! Secondly, even if I was wearing protective gear, you only hit me in the face! Hey, Yin Shan, if we weren't friends, I would have given you two big assholes every day! Look at the way my eyes are made by you! I'm a nobody!"
Yin Shan decided to calm down before her best friend completely turned hostile. She pulled out some mutton rolls and hot pot base from her space and said, "How about some hot pot to calm down?"
Hou Ting looked at the lamb rolls in front of her and thought about the intense training they'd been undergoing these days. With all the intense training they'd been doing every day, they'd barely even remembered to cook, so they'd just eaten whatever was readily available in Yin Shan's space. It had been ages since she'd had a proper meal, so she asked, "Is there enough sesame paste?"
Yin Shan nodded and said, "All you can eat! All you can eat is cilantro! And the Coke comes with ice!"
Hou Ting immediately cheered and quickly invited everyone to eat.
Seeing this, Guan Yunhua found the shuangyuan hot pot, fried the hot pot ingredients, and instructed Yin Shan to wash the vegetables. Half an hour later, several people turned on the range hood and gathered around the table to eat.
After not having a proper meal for half a month, the five of us ate 6 kilograms of mutton, 4 kilograms of beef, 1 kilogram of tripe, a plate of duck intestines, a plate of duck blood, and two large bowls of vegetables. Finally, each of us had two bowls of hot pot noodles to end the dinner.
Wang Lu burped and asked Yin Shan, "Do you think we can still eat hot pot so freely in the future?"
Yin Shan said, "Sure, we can live farther away from the base. There won't be anyone else around, so we can do whatever we want."
Yin Shan looked at Yin Zhiwen and said, "Dad, do you have any ideas?"
Yin Zhiwen smiled and said, "In the past, I wanted to defend my country, but now I just want to protect my wife and three daughters and keep them alive and well. Wherever you want to go, we will go there."
When Wang Lu and Hou Ting heard this, they immediately raised their Cokes and said, "Godfather, Godmother!"
Guan Yunhua and Yin Zhiwen clinked their glasses with the two of them, and then Guan Yunhua said, "We're family, why be so polite! Go wash the dishes."
In the middle of the night, Yin Shan was awakened by Hanhan's cry. He felt a coldness on the tip of his nose and looked at the thermometer: minus 10 degrees Celsius.
I don’t know when the heavy rain stopped. It was still raining when I was sleeping. Yin Shan sighed. Sure enough, many things were different from his previous life.
She remembered that the temperature was still over 30 degrees Celsius that night, and she thought to herself, thankfully, they'd been wearing thermal insulation all these days. She immediately got up, woke Yin Zhiwen and Guan Yunhua, and told them to make sure the two little ones didn't freeze. Although cats and dogs have thick skin, a sudden drop in temperature could easily kill them. Then, Yin Shan brought the two little ones some water from the Spirit Lake, dressed again, and headed to the 21st floor.
Yin Shan opened the door and found the two of them making a fire. Yin Shan was startled and asked, "Aren't you wearing a thermostatic suit?"
Hou Ting said, "The eldest and second oldest don't have any thermal clothing. Look at them, they're freezing like cats!"
Yin Shan nodded and said, "It's the same with Hanhan and Qixi. My dad is making a fire. Animals will adapt to the environment faster than us. Everything will be fine after tonight." As he said that, he took out the water from the Spirit Lake. The two cats quickly came over to drink it, rubbed Yin Shan's hand, and curled up beside the fire.
Yin Shan said, "As long as you're all okay, I'll go to the 20th floor to check."
Wang Lu teased her: "So our Shanshan likes older men?"
Yin Shan rolled his eyes and said, "Without him, we still have to deal with a lot of trouble. Otherwise, I won't take care of it. If trouble comes, will you two take care of it?"
Hou Ting said: "No, no, no, I'm so weak, I don't want it."
Wang Lu also shook her head and said, "I don't want it either."
Yin Shan gritted his teeth: "My hands are itchy, what can I do?"
Hou Ting said, "If your hands are itchy, just scratch them! Go quickly! You're disturbing my daughter and son from warming themselves by the fire!"
Yin Shan rolled his eyes and went to the 20th floor door and knocked. Three minutes passed, and when Wang Qiang didn't come to open the door, Yin Shan no longer hesitated and started to pick the lock.
When he entered the house, he found Wang Qiang smiling and wearing only a pair of shorts. He thought he was too late, so he quickly took out Wang Qiang's bedding and covered him with it, fed him some water from the Linghu Lake, and then turned around and started to light a fire.
Wang Qiang's family had no charcoal or anything like that, so Yin Shan simply took out the firewood he had stored and lit it.
About 20 minutes later, Wang Qiang woke up and saw Yin Shan sitting next to the fire. He immediately knelt down and said, "Sister, save my life!"
Yin Shan turned away and said, "It's an eyesore. Where's your cotton coat?"
Wang Qiang saw that he was only wearing shorts, so he immediately clamped his legs together, found some thick clothes in the closet and put them on, then said, "Sister, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Yin Shan turned around and saw that he had already put on his clothes. He said, "You took the firewood from my house. Remember to return it to me. Wear more clothes so you don't freeze to death. It's really troublesome."
Wang Qiang said, "Sister, I'm not good at talking. I'll return the firewood to you twice as much. If you need me in the future, I'll definitely help you. Even if you want my life, I'll give it to you!"
Yin Shan nodded and said, "Alright, why would I want your life? I'm leaving now."
After saying that, Yin Shan returned home. Seeing that his two little ones were fine, he discussed with Yin Zhiwen, "The extreme cold has come early. We have to go out and look for wood. We can't always rely on the supplies in the space. That would be too obvious."
Yin Zhiwen said, "Let's go tomorrow and see if there are any changes in Hanhan."
Yin Shan took a closer look and found that Hanhan had grown another layer of fine hair. Yin Shan was surprised and said, "So fast!"
Yin Zhiwen nodded and said, "Animals adapt much faster than humans. Let's go out and look for firewood tomorrow. At this rate, we'll be able to take the two little ones out for some training in a few days!"
Yin Shan nodded, then looked at Qixi again, noticing a new layer of fur on its body. After a moment's thought, Yin Shan said, "How about letting them soak in the Spirit Lake water by the fire?"
Guan Yunhua agreed. After all, Hanhan and Qixi had been exposed to the water from Linghu Lake earlier than Hou Ting's two cats. Even if they were evolving, their progress was faster than that of other animals. So Yin Shan took out two large bathtubs, filled them with water from Linghu Lake, and let the two little ones go in to soak.
The two little ones were very resistant, and Yin Shan said sternly: "Go in! Otherwise I will stew dog meat and roast cat meat!"
The two little ones shivered, quickly climbed into the bathtub, and fell asleep in a short while.
Yin Shan touched the two little ones and said, "Their body temperature is very high, which seems to be a sign of awakening superpowers. I'll go downstairs. The two little ones from Monkey's family also need to soak. It's very beneficial for us if the four little ones awaken their superpowers early."
Yin Zhiwen nodded and said, "Go ahead. Your mom and I will also go out for some fun. You don't have to come back today."
Yin Shan had no choice but to fill the bathtub again, turn on the heater, tell the two to keep warm, and then go downstairs.
When she reached the 21st floor, Yin Shan thought about it and remembered that she had set up an electric grid before, so she decided to electrify the corridor door and set a trap to prevent Wang Qiang from not keeping an eye on the people in the building. She put up a sign that read "Electricity, death if touched". Yin Shan told her best friend about her discovery on the 22nd floor.
When Hou Ting heard this, she immediately found the bathtubs of the youngest and second oldest children and signaled Yin Shan to fill them up.
Yin Shan filled the tub with water, Hou Ting put her cats in it, let them drink some water, and then watched from the side.
Sure enough, the two cats were a little reluctant at first, but fell asleep within ten minutes.
Yin Shan added some more firewood, opened the windows a little to let in some air, took out three bathtubs, and filled them with water from Linghu Lake.
While waiting for the heater to raise the water temperature, Yin Shan took out the heater and turned it on. After a while, Yin Shan said, "Let's soak for a while. If animals can awaken early, maybe humans can too. I've already activated the power grid and set traps. Even if someone comes, they won't be able to disturb us. At least tonight is absolutely safe."
The three of them got into the bathtub and soon fell asleep.
