Chapter 106 A sudden drop in temperature
"As a member of Jiangnan Middle School, I think that since the weather has just become unusual, everyone should stock up on winter supplies, especially firewood. Vegetables grown outside also need to be covered with sheds."
At this time, Cao Lei, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but exclaimed, "Captain, I remember hearing on the radio this morning that a cold wave was about to hit, but I didn't take it seriously at the time."
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, thinking for a moment before ordering, "Gather some people to go out and look for firewood and supplies tomorrow morning. Those who find something will receive two packs of instant noodles."
Although supplies were extremely scarce, the country still had a lot of supplies.
By the way, Jiangcheng also has a national grain reserve warehouse!
It seems that the strategic base is also responsible for supervision in Jiangcheng.
Seeing that Liang Yingsheng had not left yet, Xiao Yan called Du Lingfeng.
"Give Miss Liang what she wants."
Du Lingfeng saluted, went out, and quickly came back with a black suitcase in his hand.
"Ms. Liang, the submachine gun and 500 rounds of ammunition you requested are here."
Liang Yingsheng took it, thought for a moment, and then bowed to Xiao Yan. "Thank you, Captain Xiao, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Xiao Yan just raised his eyelids and said in a cold voice: "Yeah."
Tsk——
Really cool.
Is this a common problem for his position?
After they left, Xiao Yan stood up and said, "Du Lingfeng, you stay here and help Cao Lei. Arrange a car to leave immediately for the strategic base."
When I returned to the dormitory, Grandma Chen and her family had all arrived and were sitting by the bed eating pumpkin seeds.
Liang Yingsheng briefly recounted the incident, and in order to draw everyone's attention, he deliberately dragged Xiao Yan into the matter, saying that it was his people who provided the information.
"Aunt Chen, you have quite a bit of supplies. It's always dangerous to stay in the RV. If a cold wave really hits, it will have a huge impact on crops. Many of the vegetables planted at school will definitely freeze to death."
Liang Qiuwen said meaningfully, "I suggest you move into the dormitory. I've inquired and found that one bottle of wine can be used to buy five kilograms of food."
After all, there are still many empty rooms in the dormitory building, and alcohol is a rare thing now. If it weren't for the military people here, I'm afraid a bottle of wine could be used to rent a dormitory.
Grandma Chen hesitated. "We live quite well in the teaching building. This cold snap will probably just bring a little snow or something. It's impossible for it to be so cold that we can't go out."
Liang Yingsheng said seriously, "The zombies are here, so what's impossible?"
Yuan Xuyang echoed, "Grandma, I think Shengsheng is right."
"Mom, we can still afford the food we need to rent a house for two months. The canteen provides meals anyway, and we haven't eaten much during this period."
"That's right. I've always been worried that someone would find the food in our RV. It would be better to rent a four-person room and keep it to myself..."
Unable to resist the persuasion of her son, daughter-in-law and grandson, Grandma Chen finally agreed.
The whole family immediately set out to move.
It's quite casual...
Liang Yingsheng frowned. "Whatever. The dormitory next door was rented by four people who pooled their supplies. One of them is planning to move out and live in the teaching building. Do you mind sharing the dormitory with them?"
He casually spread his hands and said, "What's there to mind? Shengsheng, stop talking. I have some food hidden away. I'll just..."
"I'll pay the rent for you, go back and pack your things first."
Randomly surprised, "Well, how can that be? I'm already embarrassed to eat and drink for free, how can I ask you to help pay my rent?"
Zhou Lanxin pushed casually, "I heard Shengsheng say that she was injured in a fight and you carried her to the hospital. It's only right that Shengsheng helps you pay the rent. Come on, auntie will help you pack your luggage."
Liang Yingsheng asked Liang Zhimo to go and remind Zhao Zifang.
After all, they once lived in the same Fenghuang Community and shared joys and sorrows together. Zhao Zifang was one of the few friends her brother had in this apocalypse.
Her intuition told her that this was not an ordinary cold wave, but a so-called extreme cold.
She wants to take precautions.
However, extreme cold also has its advantages. Excessive cold will slow down the movement of zombies, making it easier for survivors to go out and find food.
At night, the family was woken up by the cold. Liang Yingsheng took out the thermometer and found that the temperature indoors was exactly zero degrees Celsius, and it must be even lower outside.
After piling the tables and chairs at the front door, I simply took my family into the space to sleep.
The next day, as soon as I left the space and returned to the dormitory, I was shivering from a cold wave.
"Why is it getting even colder?" Zhou Lanxin rubbed her hands and went to boil water. "This is awful weather. The temperature dropped by dozens of degrees overnight. With our physical condition, who can stand it?"
I took out the thermometer and measured it. The indoor temperature was already minus 2 degrees Celsius. It was still sunny when I woke up yesterday morning.
After taking out some thick clothes for the family of four and adding four thick quilts, Liang Yingsheng carried some things out and said, "I'll go take a look. Mom, take out the clothes from the closet and I'll come back to collect them later."
"good."
Suibian is a very outgoing person and quickly became friends with the people in the dormitory.
The oldest of her roommates is only in his thirties, and the four of them can talk about anything when they get together.
Seeing Liang Yingsheng, he immediately pulled him into the house and introduced him.
"When I woke up, it was suddenly very cold. We were all in a hurry to escape and it was summer, so we hadn't prepared any winter clothes."
"Yeah, I'm planning to see if anyone wants to team up and go out and find some clothes." Liang Yingsheng echoed, "If it gets colder, we'll freeze to death without any clothes to wear."
Taking advantage of the time when his roommate went to the cafeteria to eat, Liang Yingsheng took out a worn bed sheet from the bag and said, "You can make a bed curtain. There are some hot packs in the bag."
Sui Yi nodded hurriedly, "You really need to go out with others to find supplies. The city is getting more and more dangerous now. The zombies outside have been starving for so long, they will definitely go crazy when they smell the breath of living people."
"I have to go."
If the extreme cold really comes, a lot of things need to be prepared. There are some in the space, but there are so many people and they all have many opinions. She needs to let people know where her things come from.
"Then I'll go with you?"
Liang Yingsheng did not refuse. She believed that she had to grow up on her own. Only then would she be able to protect herself if they got separated in the future.
Grandma Chen's family also lacked winter clothes, so Yuan Xuyang volunteered to go out with Liang Yingsheng to look for supplies.
Liang Yingsheng's RV was quietly taken away on a dark and windy night, and replaced with the SUV that he had borrowed for free in Fenghuang Community.
As soon as I walked out of the dormitory building, a biting cold wind suddenly blew over me, making my face hurt.
The survivors of Jiangnan Middle School tried their best to keep warm.
Some wore shawls made of plastic bags on the outside, while others wore three layers of summer clothes inside and outside, which were colorful and looked particularly funny.
There were also many survivors who had prepared winter clothes. Everyone came and went in a hurry, and after coming out of the canteen, they ran to the pond to line up to fetch water.
"Miss Liang, I heard you were looking for me?"
Cao Lei came over with Marshal Lu. Both of them were wearing camouflage uniforms with their hats buttoned tightly. Through their collars, you could vaguely see their shirts underneath.
