Chapter 156: Dead House
The two of them quickly took firewood from the wall and lit a fire in the fireplace in the living room to drive away the white frost.
But the temperature was too low, and the two of them couldn't light the wood after fiddling with it for a long time. Yu Duoduo had no choice but to throw one of the pieces of wood into the space, and use his mind to light the wood in the space with fire before taking it out and putting it in the fireplace.
After waiting for a few minutes, the other pieces of wood were gradually ignited, and the temperature in the living room began to rise slowly. The white frost quietly retreated from the edge of the fireplace to the surroundings.
Yu Duoduo put the two small charcoal stoves back into the space and took out the extreme frostbite medicine that Xie Yun needed, including ointments, potions to drink, and medicine bags for bathing, a whole lot of things in total.
All this was done after they arrived at the bunker, when Yu Duoduo accompanied Xie Yun and the two of them stayed in the house.
However, the prescription was developed by Xie Yun in his previous life. However, because the medicinal materials in the prescription were relatively expensive, this medicine was only used in the upper class and was not widely promoted among ordinary people.
This time it was different. Not only did Xie Yun prepare sufficient medicinal herbs, but a lot of the medicinal herbs that Yu Duoduo casually scattered on the space mountain had also grown. Basically all the medicinal herbs needed to treat frostbite were there!
At least there will be no more worries when it comes to the use of medicinal materials.
When the two came out of the suite, Xie Yun was holding a pile of medicine in his arms, and Yu Duoduo was carrying a stainless steel bucket, which was the soup bucket in the big kitchen downstairs, filled with burning firewood.
Yu Duoduo placed the bucket on the walkway leading to the suite door so that he would not get frostbite when walking between the dance floor and the suite.
Xie Yun handed the medicine to Minan and Le Yan, and told them how to use it. Then the two of them exposed their arms and applied the medicine to each other under the heat of the fire.
Xie Yun handed Tong Zi and Wei Dong two packets of medicine for bathing to dispel the cold, asking them to take precautions as well.
The New Year's Day festive atmosphere was interrupted by the sudden extreme cold. Tong Zi had prepared a big meal, and even had two bottles of Lao Baigan sponsored by Yu Duoduo, waiting to celebrate in the evening...
As a result, at this moment, because of the sudden drop in temperature, not only were the water pipes frozen and there was no water available, but even the wine was frozen into popsicles.
But everyone is not the kind of person who is pretentious. If they can't eat stir-fried dishes or stews, then they can just tear off a few pieces of mutton from the roof, gather around the big brazier, and change the feast into a barbecue. They can still celebrate by eating roasted mutton!
After applying the medicine, the stinging sensation in Minan and Le Yan was much lessened, and they gradually started talking more.
The old popsicles were placed by the fire to warm, and soon they melted back to 45-degree white liquor. Everyone drank a little white liquor, and just one sip was enough to burn from the throat to the stomach, warming the whole body.
Amid the smoke and fire, there was finally a festive atmosphere.
But after the excitement, life still has to return to the essence of life, such as the water problem in the bunker!
The bunker's daily water comes from the reservoir next to the west parking lot. Now the entire pool is frozen. If you want to use water, you have to get ice from the pool and melt it into water.
It is not difficult to melt water, but the difficult part is how to get it and how to get the ice back?
Several people discussed together and came up with a feasible solution.
Minan and Le Yan were injured and were not suitable to go out, so the remaining four people carried the stainless steel barrel on the aisle, added more firewood, and quickly got into the van parked downstairs.
The four car windows were half open, the fire in the barrel was burning brightly, the temperature inside the car rose instantly, and the car slowly drove towards the reservoir in the west.
Once we arrived at the reservoir, everyone got out of the car and tried not to go within 2 meters of the fire to avoid frostbite.
Four men, fully armed, climbed up the reservoir and cut ice with electric saws, surrounding the burning fire barrel, each responsible for a large block of ice.
After it was cut, the four of them moved it to the walkway together, tied it up with a rope, and tied it to the back of the car.
After the four large blocks of ice were tied up, he slowly opened the car and towed it back home.
When water is needed, just knock some off the big ice block and put it next to the fire to melt.
After meeting their basic living needs, the six members of the bunker began to stay at home completely.
Staying at home does not mean being lazy, it just means not going out. Going out can easily lead to death!
Even if the fire burned vigorously, the indoor space was too large to guarantee absolute warmth. Even if I slept with my clothes on and covered with a blanket, I would sometimes wake up from the cold and have to get up in the middle of the night to add more firewood...
Fortunately, before the extreme cold came, Yu Duoduo asked everyone to stockpile enough wood, otherwise we would have been frozen to death several times by now.
As everyone's physical trainer, Minan will certainly not miss this period of time spent at home.
She couldn't let everyone's limbs degenerate into cavemen. What if the extreme cold suddenly ended one day and they were able to go out?
She customized special Sanda courses for everyone to ensure that everyone's daily exercise volume meets the standards and does not allow the body to be too lazy.
A large fire pit was also added to the gym, and people got up early at a fixed time every day to do morning exercises, including running, stretching, and Sanda classes.
Then there is free time.
Wei Dong stayed in the suite doing his weapons research, while Tong Zi accompanied him, playing a single-player game on his phone.
Le Yan got a batch of plastic films from somewhere and used them to cover the vegetables and various plants in his garden with plastic greenhouses. The greenhouses were placed in a large circle around the large brazier in the middle of the dance floor.
This not only raises the temperature inside the vegetable greenhouse, but also makes it easier for everyone to sit in the middle of the dance floor and keep warm.
So Le Yan and Min Nan almost lived in the dance hall, because the brazier here was bigger and the fire burned more vigorously than in the suite they lived in!
Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun also stayed in the suite all day and seldom went out, but they didn't feel cold at all because they almost half lived in the space.
From the second day of staying at home, the fruits and crops in the space gradually matured. Yu Duoduo asked Xie Yun to help her enter the space and start harvesting.
500 acres of wheat fields, 300 acres of corn fields, and 200 acres of sweet potato fields harvested 450,000 kilograms of shelled wheat, 540,000 kilograms of corn cobs, and 180,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes respectively.
Yu Duoduo stored them all in the earth building, so she had no shortage of food.
She and Xie Yun had discussed that they could wait until the official market opened, then sell the crops they grew to others in exchange for some gold, silver and jewelry to see if there was any possibility of further upgrading the space.
The fruits planted in the fields are ripe. From 200 acres of watermelon fields, we harvested 2 million kilograms of stone melons, each one of them is huge.
The grape fields, strawberry fields and lemon fields covered 100 mu each, and harvested 500,000 kilograms of grapes, 400,000 kilograms of strawberries and 300,000 kilograms of lemons respectively.
Yu Duoduo planned to do the same as he did in his previous life, using these precious fruits of the end times to do business with the rich and exchange them for some special supplies that are difficult to buy on a normal day.
As for the remaining 500 acres of vegetable fields, which produced a total of 2 million kilograms of cabbage, red and white radishes, and pumpkins, the two of them unanimously decided to eat them themselves first!
