Chapter 70: Dwelling in a small house, extreme cold ends extreme cold
The 274th day of the end of the world, March 31st.
Qiao's house, in the bedroom on the first floor.
The electric heater works diligently, making the house warm as spring.
“It’s hot.”
Qiao Qiao subconsciously kicked the quilt aside, her pajamas rolled up, revealing her fair calves.
The shadow trembled, and then a man of 190 cm height appeared in the room. He had fair skin, a pair of deep and affectionate peach blossom eyes, and a bright look in his eyes, with the air of an ancient nobleman.
The man quietly covered himself with the quilt, turned off the electric heater, and walked to the balcony to look at the scenery outside.
"Well, why is it so hot, Yueying?" Qiao Qiao sat on the bed and rubbed her eyes. Her hair was messy and two alopecia stood upright.
"The extreme cold is over." Yueying raised the corners of her mouth, making her peach blossom eyes even more charming.
"..." Even though it has been three months, she still hasn't gotten used to this face that is completely in line with her aesthetic.
My brain was groggy after waking up, and it took me a while to react, "Is the extreme cold over?!"
I quickly got out of bed and ran to the window. The sun was shining brightly, making me feel warm all over.
The blizzard that had been raging for days finally disappeared, and the snow outside was slowly melting.
During these three months, the three members of the Qiao family each got 9 chances to draw ten cards in a row. Qiao Huizhou got 10 R-level cards, Qiao Xinghe got 4 R-level cards, and Qiao Qiao got 7 R-level cards.

[Water capsule card: contains 10 capsules, each capsule can hold 1 liter of water (essential for home and travel)]
A total of 88 blind box cards and 88 copy cards were used.
The remaining five blind boxes in the cooling series included air conditioning cards, fan cards, cooling spray cards, sunscreen cards and Hawaiian set cards.
[Air conditioning card: can be used in an environment of up to 100°C, adjust the temperature to 15-30°C, the usage range is 10 square meters, and the usage is limited to 4 hours per day]

[Hawaii Set Card: Half-sleeve and shorts set, the body temperature after wearing it is kept between 20-40 degrees, limited to 10 days]
After that, I drew thirty-fifth round of N-level card blind boxes and got 70 N-level cards.
I also drew two sets of blind boxes of supplies and medical supplies.
Obtained 2 wood cards, 1 coal card, 1 oil card, 1 diesel card, 1 iron card, and 1 rubber card, all worth 100 units.
Tourniquet, antipyretic, painkiller, gastrointestinal medicine, antipyretic, disinfectant *1 (50/50)
Qiao Huizhou used 4 backpack expansion cards and successfully unlocked 99 grids.
[Congratulations to Qiao Huizhou for becoming the 46th survivor on Blue Star to unlock all the backpack slots]
[Get special reward: 20 square meters of planting space]
The planting space is similar to the breeding space, except that the grassland has been turned into black soil, which looks very productive.
All three of them were glad that they had stockpiled a lot of seeds before.
The first time I planted, I chose sweet potatoes that were easy to grow and high-yield. They matured in three months and I harvested 240 kilograms!
Qiao Huizhou was not very good at farming, so the second time he chose a convenient and simple variety - corn, which matures in about three or four months.
88 copy cards can only copy R-level cards once a month, and 3 of them have the opportunity to copy air conditioning cards, special insulation suit cards and space backpacks.
The rest are used to copy N-level mineral water cards and ice cards.
Qiao Xinghe used the backpack expansion card three times to unlock the grid to 25*25.
And during this period, the vegetables in the sunroom matured twice.
The first time was on the 210th day of the apocalypse, when we harvested 10 kilograms each of passion fruit, potatoes, guavas, cherry radishes, perilla, cantaloupe, broccoli, okra, and eggplant.
The second time was on the 272nd day of the apocalypse, when we harvested 10 kilograms each of strawberries, blueberries, grapes, cherry tomatoes, watermelons, melons, water spinach, lettuce, and Chinese cabbage.
Now it is all used to grow rice.
I got tired of eating leeks, so I started planting cabbage, strawberries and cherries.
"Is the extreme cold over?" Qiao Xinghe and Qiao Huizhou took off their warm pajamas and went downstairs in just a few clothes and pants.
"Yeah." Qiao Qiao nodded. The thermometer showed [25 degrees Celsius]
The temperature suddenly rose from -80 to +25. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
"The next disaster will be extreme heat, right?" Qiao Huizhou said.
"Well, everything is ready, don't worry." Qiao Qiao put away the items used during the extreme cold, as they would not be used for a long time.
While Qiao Xinghe was preparing breakfast, Qiao Qiao opened the chat channel.
"The temperature is rising?"
"The extreme cold is finally over. I thought I couldn't make it. Woohoo, mom and dad, are you still alive?"
There are people looking for their relatives on it every moment. Some are lucky enough to succeed, but most end up in vain.
“Is the end of the world?”
"How is that possible? You are too naive. The system has appeared. The doomsday will definitely last for a long time."
"This is a chance God has given to mankind to evolve. Only the chosen ones can survive."
"You're still the chosen one. Even natural disasters can't cure your chuunibyou."
"But recently there are indeed a lot of very strange people who always say something about God or the Lord in the channel. Is this a cult?"
"Shit! The snow is melting."
“Isn’t melting snow a good thing?”
"If it melts too quickly, it will cause flooding."
"No way! We've already experienced a rainstorm, and it's coming again!"
Qiao Qiao frowned. The snow outside was now as high as six floors. At the rate the temperature was rising, all the snow would melt within a week, and then there would be another round of disaster.
"Why."
Qiao Xinghe brought out breakfast and said, "Don't sigh. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. Let's eat first."
"I am here."
…
"Mom, the snow has stopped." A little boy walked out of the shelter, feeling the long-lost warmth, and danced with joy.
"Be careful, really, husband, come and see." Xia Zheng shouted.
"It's finally over, we can go home." Yang Yi looked directly at the scorching sun, tears streaming down his face.
On the other side, deep in the forest, in an area covered with ice and snow, this place has been considered an uninhabited area due to the cold weather and the frequent appearance of mutant animals. Unexpectedly, there are still human habitation there.
An old lady wrapped in thick mink fur came out of the tent, "Momo, the temperature is rising."
Then Xia Momo appeared in special cold-proof clothing, feeling the temperature of the air, "The extreme cold is over..."
"Ah!" A snow-white figure rushed out from the forest, with a huge body, fierce eyes, agile speed, and a snow-white body.
It turned out to be a ferocious polar bear!
At this moment, there was no sign of a ferocious beast at all. The whole bear was clinging to Xia Momo, with its arms around her body and a half-meter-long fish in its mouth.
Xia Momo stroked its ears as usual. They were small and round and felt very good to the touch. "Dabai caught fish again. How good of you."
“Ah~”
…
Federal Building, conference room.
"What about the meteorological department's testing?"
The head of the Meteorological Department took out a stack of materials and had his secretary distribute them. "We predict that the next natural disaster will be extremely hot. Although many devices cannot be used, we can still detect that the temperature will continue to rise in the next week and will reach 50 degrees Celsius on the seventh day."
"50?! Then floods are inevitable." The Speaker frowned.
"Are you sure the next round will be extremely hot?" The head of the logistics department felt a headache. In extremely cold weather, one could still light a fire to keep warm, but what would one do in extremely hot weather?
"It's just speculation." The Meteorological Minister shook his head.
"It's already late. We can't act based on speculation alone. If we make a wrong guess, all the supplies will be wasted."
The Chief Executive ignored their argument and asked, "Have the bracelets and contribution points been implemented?"
The director of the Special Administration Bureau replied, "The Special Administration Bureau, the Military Administration, and the Paradise have all been implemented. Fortunately, most people are in the shelter now, and the ordinary people have almost been implemented."
Hearing this, the Chief Executive nodded and said, "Each department should arrange to disband the shelter and arrange for everyone to be relocated to nearby buildings with more than 10 floors."
The Speaker was somewhat dissatisfied. "Action now? Isn't it too early?"
"Yeah, we should wait and see for another two days."
The chief executive did not listen to the advice of others this time and directly issued an order, "We must act now. The shelter is built on the ice. If the temperature continues to rise, if the ice collapses, everyone will die. We must learn from the lessons of the rainstorm period."
Someone asked, "How should it be arranged? According to the level of the card drawer? Contribution points? Or..."
At this point, the officer did not have a complete solution. "The houses of local landlords must not be touched. Secondly, tenants who can provide proof must also be taken care of. The rest..."
The director of the Special Administration Bureau added, “The rest will be arranged in the order of registration.”
"pass."
