The hot water was for kneading the dough. Zuli only boiled less than half a pot, and it boiled quickly.
She took the kettle off its base, and with two chopsticks in her other hand, just as she was about to pour water onto the flour, she heard Xuanqing suddenly ask from beside her:
"Do you want my help?"
Su Li paused in her movements, turning to look at Xuan Qing with a hint of surprise, her gaze scrutinizing him as she asked with a touch of curiosity:
"You can use your...spells, magic, to directly turn ingredients into food?"
However, after hearing her question, Xuanqing's gaze froze for a moment, then he shook his head:
"Won't!"
Su Li: "...?"
Sensing Su Li's displeased expression, Xuan Qing's eyes flickered, as if he were somewhat embarrassed:
"I don't put any seasonings in my dishes, so even if I use magic to make them, they won't taste good. But you can teach me from the side; you don't have to lift a finger."
Zuli suddenly realized.
She glanced down at the ingredients in front of her, then raised her eyebrows: "Why don't you give it a try?"
She was naturally happy to have an easy time without having to do any work.
Xuanqing's initiative in taking on the task lessened Su Li's resentment towards him for the explosive mess he had caused so early in the morning.
At this moment, she took a step back, leaned against the wall by the door, looked at the tall, stunningly handsome male demon in front of her, lowered her head, and carefully pondered how much "appropriate amount" was.
Because of Xuanqing's studies, breakfast was eaten a little late.
It was already 10 a.m. when we finished eating.
The snow was still falling outside. Su Li used a stick to probe the snow outside the eaves and found that it was already half a meter deep!
The courtyard was now covered in a blanket of white snow, with everything except the pond created by the space being covered by a thick layer of snow.
Su Li glanced at the thermometer hanging outside the door, which showed that the outside temperature was already minus twenty-five degrees Celsius!
Extreme cold has arrived.
According to the book, the temperature dropped rapidly from -25 degrees Celsius to -60 degrees Celsius in less than a week.
When Su Li came out, she was only wearing a fleece-lined pajama set. The cold wind outside made her shiver, and she quickly turned around and went back inside.
It seems the base is going to be in chaos for the next couple of days!
Sure enough, around noon, Qi Zhi contacted Su Li via walkie-talkie to say that he couldn't come up the mountain the next day.
It's one thing that the mountain roads are impassable due to the snow, but the most important thing is that this snow, which is not in season, came suddenly, and the precipitous drop in temperature caught everyone off guard.
Inside the base, it was alright, but those who pitched tents outside the base and waited to enter the city were not dressed warmly to begin with, and many of them froze to death at night!
Even though the base worked overtime in the middle of the night to open the city to the public, many people still suffered from frostbite and frostbite due to the cold!
Although the base has started providing heating, the coal needed for heating will not last long at all. During the day, the boilers are still burning the mutated plants that were cleared out and stored.
Although there was plenty of firewood, it was consumed very quickly.
In addition, due to the drop in temperature, cotton clothing, quilts and food are facing even greater shortages at the base.
Even when it comes to electricity, because he is a lightning ability user, he uses three power generation modes: solar, wind, and solar. Now, due to weather conditions, both the wind and solar power generation modes are affected.
Now, apart from the official offices, even the lights in residents' homes are out of service and can't be used!
Meanwhile, the base's external defense department and military have almost completely abandoned all other tasks and have been mobilized to search for any available supplies to get through this harsh winter.
The entire security department, including Qi Zhilin and his team, was mobilized to maintain order within the base.
They followed Lu Yu's team, and in just one morning, they were cold, hungry, and exhausted, working themselves to the bone.
The sudden drop in temperature and the extreme shortage of supplies caused panic among the survivors in the city. In just one morning, more than a dozen incidents of vandalism and looting had already occurred!
Unlike before the apocalypse, many survivors now possess superpowers. When they see the police coming, they rely on their abilities and don't immediately back down. They even frequently provoke them, which brings a lot of trouble to Qi Zhi and his team's work!
Fortunately, everything is still under control.
The fear is that if the temperature continues to drop, it could lead to an even greater crisis!
Qi Zhi quickly ended the conversation; the lunch break was over, and it was time to start patrolling again.
Su Li came out of the house wearing a long cotton-padded coat over her pajamas.
Following Su Li's instructions, Xuan Qing cast a spell to clear a path in the courtyard.
Su Li followed the path to the top of the mountain. Looking down the mountain, she saw a world covered in silver, and even the dense cluster of buildings below became indistinct.
However, the base seemed very quiet.
There were two towering chimneys, from which strings of white smoke were billowing out. There was very little white in the base, so it seemed that people had been gathered early in the morning to clean it up.
Su Li stood on the mountaintop for a while, then turned and walked back.
In just a short while, the cleared path was covered with a thin layer of snow again.
She opened her mouth, exhaled a puff of white smoke, and turned her gaze to a mutated rabbit with a missing leg not far away, which was stumbling and running towards her in the snow.
Su Li stood there for a moment, then threw a fireball at the mutated rabbit.
After seeing the mutated rabbit fall to the ground, she stepped back under the eaves.
