day24
Not knowing if the car's air conditioning in the game would cause carbon monoxide poisoning, Xia Ning always opened the car door to cool the room before turning on the air conditioning, leaving the doors and windows slightly ajar.
Since sealing the room windows, Xia Ning has stopped using the vehicle's air conditioning.
Xia Ning knew a cold front was coming, so she didn't dare to sleep. She relied on hot coffee to stay awake and kept an eye on the thermometer in the room.
She confined her younger sister to the dog cage in the room.
An electric blanket was laid on her bed, a down comforter was piled up on the windowsill, and there was also a sleeping bag for polar use.
Professional camping sleeping bags can withstand temperatures as low as -40 to -60 degrees Celsius.
Xia Ning made a doghouse for her younger sister using several sleeping bags of different sizes and placed it in the corner of the wall, so that her sister could choose which one was more comfortable.
When the temperature dropped to 10 degrees Celsius, Xia Ning started the engine, turned on the heater, and boiled a pot of hot ginger soup to keep her stomach warm.
In less than fifteen minutes, the temperature plummeted to zero degrees Celsius.
Xia Ning exhaled a puff of white breath and quickly put on her mask.
Due to the temperature difference between inside and outside, Xia Ning, wearing a down jacket and wrapped up like a little bear, walked onto the balcony, where a thick layer of condensation had already formed on the glass.
Immediately afterwards, a huge siren sounded over the city.
One piercing, sharp warning sound after another tried to wake every sleeping citizen.
In Xia Ning's memory, big cities always seemed to be places that never sleep.
Looking up at the sky, I couldn't see any stars, only hazy clouds illuminated by the city lights.
At this moment, all Xia Ning could see was darkness. Among the towering buildings, only a few windows were lit by candlelight and flashlight beams.
Xia Ning wiped the glass with her thick gloves and saw that the outer layer of glass was forming ice flowers at a visible speed.
Not long after, the sound of gongs and drums came from outside—
"It's gotten much colder!"
"Wake up! Wake up!"
"If you really don't have any warm clothes, burn books and paper in the bathroom to keep warm, but be careful of fire!"
"Take a look at the elderly and children in your families."
"I'd rather die from overeating than from freezing to death!"
"..."
Hearing the horn, Xia Ning knew that the old man from the fire scene was still in good health.
She glanced at the thermometer hanging on the balcony; it was -7 degrees Celsius, and it was at least minus ten degrees Celsius outside.
And the temperature seems to be dropping even further.
She returned to the master bedroom, where the temperature was maintained between 5 and 8 degrees Celsius.
Xia Ning didn't turn the temperature too high; she needed to let her body adjust gradually. Otherwise, if the room temperature was in the teens and the temperature dropped to minus tenes as soon as she went outside, she could easily catch a fever or a cold.
She burrowed into the covers and breathed on her fingers to warm them.
On this day, countless families will face separation, death, and disintegration.
Xia Ning had no intention of staying up all night. After confirming that the room temperature had stabilized, she placed a temperature alarm and a life detector by her pillow, then put on a hat and earmuffs and fell into a deep sleep.

day25
"There are currently 881 out of 1000 players on this map."
The outdoor temperature is minus 25 degrees Celsius.
The rain had stopped, turning into snow and hail. The water below the building froze into a thick layer of ice, and below that were various undercurrents.
At noon, Jiang Yuan, the building manager, knocked on the door, trembling, to check if Xia Ning was alive.
In this low temperature, ordinary electronic devices, such as mobile phones and computers, are unusable, and we have to rely entirely on manual verification of each household's situation.
Xia Ning opened the door and saw that his teeth were chattering, so she quickly handed him a cup of hot ginger soup.
Jiang Yuan waved his hand, his words slurred: "No~ Before I left~ before~ Wang Wei poured~ a pot of it for me~ I can't hold it in anymore~ If I go to the toilet now, it'll be freezing~ freezing."
Jiang Yuan originally wanted to say that urine would freeze into an arc, but he accidentally froze little Jiang Yuan. He stopped himself just in time, remembering that Xia Ning was a girl.
The temperature was so low that he felt so cold he couldn't think straight.
Xia Ning pretended not to understand Jiang Yuan's implied meaning, saying that she was well prepared for the cold and did not plan to die for the time being. She also thanked Jiang Yuan for sharing his novel insights so that they could prepare in advance.
Jiang Yuan said it was nothing, and he pulled Xia Ning to continue with the wavy line.
"You'd never guess! The 6th floor is acting strangely again!"
