On March 1st, the extreme cold did not arrive, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Bai Shuang became increasingly nervous.
The cold is very likely to arrive suddenly at night, just like the storm before.
In the afternoon, Bai Shuang and Bai Jiu checked and tested the heating equipment in the two rooms. Thick quilts and electric blankets were laid on both beds.
Temperature-controlled clothing, down jackets, down pants, velvet thermal underwear, insulated shoes, leopard skin coat, military cotton hat given by Lu Yu, and snow leopard clothing were all kept within easy reach.
I worry that God won't give me a chance to catch my breath, and that I'll suffer from fever.
He also made a walkie-talkie call to Anming's family and the brothers upstairs, reminding them to be prepared.
Anming had been going with Liu Zhongyi and the others to look for things recently, so the family should have enough food and supplies.
No matter what you did before, to survive a natural disaster, you must learn to save yourself. After all, only the fittest survive, and no one can help you forever.
After thinking for a moment, he contacted Lu Yu again, reminding him not to assign any tasks to the soldiers today and to keep their cotton-padded coats with them.
Don't blame her for being nosy; she genuinely didn't want those energetic soldiers to lose their lives.
Thinking of my uncle and Bai Tian, I realized that I couldn't contact them and they had to rely on themselves.
In the evening, I invited Bai Jiu and the others to eat mutton stew with flatbread. The semi-fermented flatbread was soaked in a rich mutton soup, along with vermicelli, cilantro, wood ear fungus, and needle-of-pearls, which looked very appetizing.
Give the snow leopard a few pieces of boiled mutton, mix them with dog food, and give it a bowl of mutton soup without salt.
It was so hungry it was practically drooling.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Bai Shuang repeatedly reminded Bai Jiu and the others of the precautions. Bai Jiu, who was usually the most talkative, was now on high alert.
There shouldn't be any problems.
Bai Shuang filled several hot water bottles and stored them in her space. She had many such hot water bottles in her space. She also boiled a large pot of ginger soup, adding other cold-dispelling medicines and spiritual spring water.
Bai Shuang was preoccupied with the extreme cold tonight and had no interest in working in the space. She lay on the bed with the snow leopard in her arms and closed her eyes to rest.
Before she knew it, she fell asleep. In her dream, Bai Shuang was still a child, and her mother took her to roller skate.
Mom was skating in front, and she was chasing after her.
"We've caught up! We've caught up!"
She was happily skating and shouting when she was about to catch up with her mother when she suddenly felt a chill that cut to the bone and started trembling all over.
The surrounding skating rinks have also transformed into a real ice and snow world.
Mom's face changed drastically. "Go back quickly, or you'll catch a cold."
"Mom, aren't you going back?"
The mother didn't answer, but reached out and pushed hard, and she quickly slid in the opposite direction.
When she opened her eyes, the snow leopard was shivering, desperately pulling at her with its paws, making whimpering sounds. The walkie-talkie beeped with clicks, and the cold air she inhaled stung her lungs.
Bai Shuang immediately realized that extreme cold was coming!
Reaching out to turn on the electric blanket, he first helped the snow leopard into bed. With trembling hands, he picked up the walkie-talkie, not even looking to see who was calling, and replied, "All is well."
I immediately brought the snow leopard and clothes into the space, and instantly, I felt a wave of warmth wash over me.
As quickly as possible, put on thermal underwear, down jacket, down pants, and then a mink coat.
Dressing the snow leopard in a thermal suit and a down jacket, then wrapping it in a cotton coat, the dog looked like a ball, making Bai Shuang want to laugh.
"From now on, I'll call you Qiuqiu."
Snow leopard, woof woof... I disagree, it doesn't fit my image.
Get dressed and quickly bring the snow leopard out; another blast of bone-chilling cold air hits you.
The snow leopard immediately covered its nose.
Bai Shuang reached out and quickly turned on the small electric heater, the underfloor heating switch, and the situation improved somewhat.
Bai Shuang measured the temperature with a thermometer; it was -30 degrees Celsius. Wow, it went from 20 degrees Celsius to -30 degrees Celsius—a difference of 50 degrees!
The lowest winter temperature here rarely exceeds -20 degrees Celsius, and the sudden drop in temperature gives the body no time to adapt.
If a person suddenly loses body temperature, causing a drop in the core temperature of the body, a series of symptoms such as chills, confusion, and cardiopulmonary failure will occur, ultimately leading to death.
Therefore, the cause of mass deaths in cold weather is not low temperature, but hypothermia caused by a sudden drop in temperature.
I turned on the walkie-talkie, ready to make a call, wondering how they were doing. But then I heard a knock on the door.
Bai Shuang quickly pulled her coat tighter and went to open the door. It was Bai Jiu and the brothers upstairs. They were all wrapped in thick clothes, their faces were red from the cold, and their teeth were chattering as they spoke.
Seeing that everything was alright, I was finally relieved.
Bai Shuang brought two hot water bottles and a pot of ginger soup to the family.
"I added some medicine to dispel the cold; drink some when you get back."
You absolutely must not get sick; in this extremely cold weather, even a cold can be fatal.
After they went back, Bai Shuang closed the door. By then, the temperature in the house had risen, and the thermometer showed 6 degrees Celsius, which made them feel much better.
Just then, a whooshing sound came from the window. Bai Shuang opened the curtains and saw large snowflakes hitting the glass.
At this time, anyone outside would certainly not survive. In fact, the temperature dropping at night has its advantages, at least people are at home.
The temperature rose, and the thermostatic clothing started to work, making me feel warm and comfortable.
Bai Shuang took off her mink coat and also helped Xue Bao take off his cotton-padded coat and down jacket.
Just then, the walkie-talkie rang. It was Lu Yu. Both of them asked at the same time, "Are you alright?"
Lu Yu: "It's okay. When the temperature dropped, I hadn't rested yet, so I asked Liu Dong and the others to go see you."
It's very cold, please keep warm.
Bai Shuang: "You didn't send the soldiers on any missions, did you?"
"No missions were assigned today. Everyone stayed together to keep warm, so there were no losses. Bai Shuang, I thank you on their behalf."
The news of the impending extreme cold was first told to Lu Yu by Bai Shuang, who then, through Lu Yu's efforts, informed everyone.
In this way, people can at least prepare in advance and minimize the death toll.
Bai Shuang: "It's alright, just be careful to keep it a secret."
Whether she thanks him or not is irrelevant. The outside world is a mixed bag, and she doesn't want to be dissected and studied.
Lu Yu: "Since you care about them so much, marry me, and we'll protect them together."
Bai Shuang: "I've already told you, I'm still young and don't want to be in a relationship. Don't bring this up again."
Bai Shuang called An Ming again via walkie-talkie. Fortunately, the family had the thermostatic clothing they had made before, which they wore in advance. When the temperature dropped, they would put on their cotton-padded clothes, and the whole family was fine.
An Ming and his wife were sincerely grateful to Bai Shuang. "Thank you so much, Miss! If it weren't for your reminder, we don't know what would have happened."
I've given all the reminders I needed to, and I've asked all the questions I needed to. As for the results, that's not my concern.
An electric blanket was also plugged into the snow leopard's den, and the person and the dog snuggled into the blanket.
The next morning, the blizzard continued, and White Frost and Snow Leopard lingered in bed in their warm home.
The man and his dog were sleeping soundly when the snow leopard called out, "Woof, woof."
Then, a knocking sound was heard...
