Chapter 53 A protective suit that is both cold-proof and heat-proof, providing absolute insulation
After finishing their phone call, Lin's parents came out and stood under the eaves with Lin Muyan.
The hailstones, as big as fists, pounded the ground with a chilling sound.
Outside the low-ceilinged courtyard, one could occasionally hear pitiful cries and the alarms of various cars and donkeys.
Wang Yanqin felt a chill run down her spine as she watched the large hailstones raining down. If they had hit her, they would have broken her bones, and if they had hit her head, they would have smashed a huge hole in it.
"Honey, that was terrifying! Thank goodness Yan Yan came back and warned us."
Lin Muyan's parents privately gave her a nickname, Yan Yan, because they felt it sounded more intimate and would make her feel more relaxed in the family, without making her feel burdened.
Upon hearing this, Lin's father nodded, but at the same time, he couldn't help but look at Lin Muyan.
How did my daughter know it was going to hail?
There was lightning and thunder just now; it looked more like a downpour was about to begin.
Hailstorms have never occurred in S City before, especially not in the dead of winter. Such a dramatic change was completely unpredictable, yet the daughter knew it.
Feeling her father's gaze, Lin Muyan calmly looked back and smiled faintly.
"Dad, you and Mom get ready. It's going to be very windy and rainy soon, and the temperature will drop to around minus 20 degrees Celsius. I'm a little tired, I'm going to go back to my room and take a nap."
Without waiting for her parents' response, Lin Muyan went into her room through the connecting corridor.
Lin's parents then realized that their daughter was hiding something, but he felt even more strongly that she was keeping a secret. However, he wouldn't press her for details unless she told him. He just wanted to trust her.
Lin's mother looked anxious and was very uneasy.
Hail in the dead of winter is scary enough, how can there be strong winds and torrential rain?
Minus 20 degrees Celsius. The lowest temperature in S City in recent years is only around minus 7 or 8 degrees Celsius. Minus 20 degrees Celsius, isn't that the temperature at which his refrigerator freezes? This is really the end of the world.
Lin Muyan returned to her room, immediately turned on her computer, opened her phone, and searched for the latest news.
The news currently dominating the front page is indeed the drastic weather change.
Just now, multiple high-traffic platforms simultaneously reported on the hailstorm. It turns out that it's not just S City, but almost the entire country is experiencing hailstorms!
The online discussions were intense and lively, with the topic remaining highly popular.
"The end of the world, it must be the end of the world, the end of the world is really coming!"
"Don't jump to the doomsday theory every time something happens. Use your brain. There have been many strange weather phenomena in history. If you do a little research, you'll find that this hail is nothing."
"You're saying such a huge ice cannon is nothing? I've killed a lot of people here!"
"..."
News outlets across the country also reported on the hailstorm. Photos and videos showed chaos in streets and alleys, with people who couldn't escape being smashed to pieces, creating a shocking scene.
Even the authorities intervened, issuing emergency notices and warnings.
According to experts from the Meteorological Bureau, unpredictable natural disasters will continue to occur in the coming days. Citizens are advised to take precautions against accidents and avoid going out unless necessary.
Starting today, all schools will be closed for the holidays, businesses may allow employees to work from home unless absolutely necessary, and public officials should take precautions to ensure the safety of the public. Let's get through this difficult time together.
The official announcement was met with cheers from students and office workers alike, who applied to work from home. The previously oppressive atmosphere online suddenly became cheerful.
"Grandpa Heaven must have thought I was working too hard, so he specially created some little surprises for me to go home and rest for a few days."
"Let the storm rage on, preferably crash the internet so we won't have to take online classes."
"Public servants have it tough; they have to get to their posts even in a huge hailstorm. Salute!"
The online discussions became relaxed and enjoyable, and any occasional doomsday predictions that popped up were quickly washed away by the flood of information, leaving nothing behind.
Lin Muyan sighed deeply, shut down the computer, and rubbed her throbbing temples.
The comments kept refreshing in front of me.
[That's quite optimistic; in two months, I won't be laughing anymore.]
Ordinary people rarely accept doomsday theories and would never spend money on things that may not even happen. How many people actually have the courage to hoard supplies?
[That's true. And no matter how much ordinary people hoard supplies, how can they withstand a prolonged apocalypse? Besides, hoarding large quantities of supplies will only make them more memorable, and once the apocalypse arrives, they'll become sitting ducks, putting them in even greater danger.]
[Envy and jealousy abound. Since leaving the Shen family, Lin Muyan has been on a meteoric rise, hitting the jackpot with incredible luck, even better than Jiao Jiao. Could it be that the chosen one of destiny has shifted to her?]
[Nonsense! Jiaojiao will definitely turn the tables!]
The comments then shifted the topic to Shen Jiaojiao, and Lin Muyan pouted and looked away.
It's time to dig for treasure again. Lin Muyan bent down with a wooden shovel and looked under the bed.
You won't know unless you look closely, and once you do, you'll be shocked.
The area under the bed is now full of holes she dug. Because it's a concrete floor, it can't be filled in, so the holes just keep piling up.
Lin Muyan twitched the corner of her mouth and began digging.
"Wow, this thing is huge!"
Looking at the large box that had appeared out of nowhere, Lin Muyan opened it expectantly, and inside lay something that looked like a protective suit.
When unfolded, it was a one-piece suit, from the helmet and visor on the head to the boots on the feet, all in one piece. The fabric felt very soft to the touch, but it didn't feel like any other fabric on the market.
Fortunately, there was an instruction manual. It turns out to be an absolute thermal protective suit that can insulate against extreme external temperatures. It shows that it can withstand temperatures from 200 degrees Celsius to 200 degrees Celsius, and it can also isolate all harmful substances such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It also has an independent oxygen supply factor, so there is no need to worry about hypoxia after the body is fully covered.
Simply put, this is a bodysuit with extremely strong defensive capabilities, and the size is just right for Lin Muyan to wear.
She immediately tried it on, and to her surprise, the protective suit was as light as a feather, feeling like she wasn't wearing anything at all—it was incredibly comfortable.
The mask is clear, dustproof, and fogproof. The seemingly simple built-in zipper, once zipped up, makes you feel completely isolated from the outside world, and your breathing is completely unobstructed.
The temperature had already dropped to around minus ten degrees Celsius, but after putting on the protective suit, Lin Muyan felt warm all over and didn't feel stuffy even after a long time, maintaining a comfortable temperature range.
Honey! This is practically a treasure made for the apocalypse!
This gave her the means to go out during the extreme cold and heat of the early apocalypse.
However, she thought she would prefer to stay in the safe house and enjoy life, but life is always unpredictable, what if?
