Chapter 86 [VIP]
Yu Xiaowan didn't expect that the random phone call she made would connect her with her ex-boyfriend's brother.
After the call was hung up, Yu Xiaowan cursed it was bad luck.
"What's unlucky or not?" Qin Mingyue said, "Don't forget, he's currently at the A City base, and we're at the Taoyuan base. Extreme cold weather has already arrived. Is it possible he could come to the Taoyuan base?"
"I can't explain it clearly." Yu Xiaowan said stubbornly, "Anyway, I don't think he would necessarily invite it."
Qin Mingyue: "So you're scared?"
"Why should I be afraid?" Yu Xiaowan denied this view, emphasizing, "You'd better not say anything nonsense. Don't I know what kind of person he is?"
Qin Mingyue: "Anyway, you are just a coward."
"Hey!" Yu Xiaowan was furious. "You're taking it too far!"
"Go to bed early. We have to go to work tomorrow." Qin Mingyue decisively changed the subject. "Don't mention that during the extremely hot weather, we were used to staying awake during the day. Now, suddenly, we're in extremely cold weather. It's hard to get used to returning to a normal routine."
"I'm not used to it either." Yu Xiaowan covered her head with the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "Go to sleep. See you at work tomorrow."
Needless to say, even though Yu Xiaowan wasn't in a good mood, she slept soundly. The Taoyuan base's specialty, the stove, was surprisingly effective. With a thick quilt covering her head and the windows tightly shut, she woke up to daybreak.
Yu Xiaowan and Qin Mingyue had lunch at the Taoyuan Inn. Before they left for work, they received a notice that the market would be closed in the morning and would open at 12 noon. The closing time would be 5 p.m.
The 5-hour workday has everyone talking. They're not protesting, but rather feeling the workday is too short and they don't know what to do with the extra time.
"Sweep the floor! Look at these hailstones, each as big as a goose egg. Are you not going to sweep them up and just let them pile up?"
"Clean up, I didn't say not to clean up."
While they were arguing, a noisy voice suddenly came from the crowd, "Hurry up, there seems to be a pregnant woman here, and she is about to give birth."
The crowd was in an uproar.
Pregnant woman, what a rare and niche name, and she is a pregnant woman who is about to give birth.
The people reacted quickly and worked together to send the pregnant woman to the clinic. At this time, all the medical experts were in the clinic.
With the help of the medical experts, the pregnant woman was able to have a smooth pregnancy and gave birth to the baby very quickly.
Outside Taoyuan Base, a world of frost had emerged, not snow. The initial extreme heat was followed by the rain, then the temperature dropped rapidly, and the rain turned into hail. The rain and hail then quickly solidified on the ground, forming a thick layer of ice.
The towering trees were bent by the heavy icicles, and the roofs of the buildings were covered with an abnormal white color.
It wasn't snow, but an ice crust formed by rapidly freezing rainwater.
For a long time afterwards, many wounded were sent to the clinic and the Imperial Hospital.
There was sufficient medical supplies for those who were frostbitten, had broken legs, or were suffering from hypothermia, because the medical staff were busy but not in chaos.
"Anshan's been buried," a middle-aged man, his face covered in blood, said with some fear, "Luckily we ran fast, otherwise we would have been buried together."
"It's minus 10°C now. Damn it, the temperature is dropping so fast."
Inside the Taoyuan base, the temperature is minus 10°C, while outside, the temperature has dropped to minus 15°C.
Anshan was originally a mountain, but after the Earth's fissures, it became a plain, renamed the Anshan Plain. Now, the Anshan Plain is frozen solid. In this icy weather, all but the anomalous plants and animals would be instantly frozen into ice sculptures, with no chance of survival.
Most people who get injured while going out are due to this reason.
It was quite sudden, and for a moment, everyone, whether injured or not, was left with a lingering fear. However, within this scope, the infrastructure system quickly underwent an upgrade.
First, it was level four, then level five, the maximum level. Then, in one fell swoop, it reached two levels in a row. Now, the entire Taoyuan base has expanded to include 1,500 apartment buildings (500 five-story bamboo-style, 500 five-story wooden-style, and 500 eight-story stone-style).
There are a total of 1,500 courtyard houses (500 bamboo courtyard houses, 500 wooden courtyard houses, and 500 stone and brick courtyard houses).

Mingzhu bought four special building blueprints of the academy during the limited-time sale at yesterday’s midnight special.
In addition, as the name suggests, the Yuyou Hall provided multi-faceted education, which made Mingzhu very satisfied. After that, he immediately spent huge resources to build a complete set of educational buildings.
The Imperial Academy was limited to one, so Mingzhu built it in the center. While there was no limit on the number of orphanages, private schools, and academies to be built, the number of academies was limited to ten.
Mingzhu then built 20 orphanages, 50 private schools, and 50 academies, and arranged for all children under the age of 6 in the Taoyuan base to receive preschool education in the orphanages.
From the age of 6 to 11, he attended a private school; from the age of 12 to 15, he attended a school; then from the age of 16 to 18, he entered a college, and then a Taixue Academy.
For example, before the end of the world, nine years of compulsory education were implemented. After nine years of compulsory education, studying was entirely voluntary and anyone who was willing to pay a certain fee could continue studying.
In other words, private schools and academies did not charge tuition. Kindergartens charged a certain fee, while academies and imperial academies charged relatively high fees.
But then again, the Imperial College is limited to one seat and the academy is limited to 10 seats. If there are no restrictions on fees, wouldn't it be overcrowded?
