Chapter 124 Extreme Cold. Almost Frozen to Death
Under the protection of heating panels, electric blankets, small suns and fireplaces, the temperature in the apartment has risen to 13 degrees Celsius.
Gu Ye put on his shoes and opened the door. It felt like he had opened the door to Antarctica. The heat in his body was instantly drained away and he shivered unconsciously.
He didn't dare open the door too wide, just enough for himself to squeeze out and then quickly closed the door. Even so, Chu An could feel the cold outside and couldn't help but wrap himself tightly in the quilt.
Then she heard Gu Ye knocking on the door and calling people, "Brother Tang, Brother Yin, Brother Li."
Bang, bang, bang—bang, bang, bang—
Hearing the noise, Gu Ye used all his strength to fight. After a few sounds, Diaoer became a little anxious, "Brother Tang, how are you guys doing? Say something, or I'll kick the door."
There was no response even though I was beating so loudly, I was afraid something must have gone wrong inside.
Chu An changed into thermal underwear under the quilt, and covered his whole body with heating pads before he lifted the quilt and put on his sweater, trousers, and windbreaker.
Finally, I put on my down jacket, hat and gloves, took out a charcoal stove from the space and placed it at the door, then took the hot water bottle and high-power flashlight and opened the door.
I got the high-intensity flashlight from the Longlonglong Import Supermarket. It turned out to be quite useful. It lit up half of the corridor.
"Why did you come out? Go back quickly."
Gu Ye felt that every time he took a breath, it was like inhaling an ice knife. This was really not a place for human beings to stay.
"It's okay, I can hold on." Chu An said, and directed his gaze to the pocket of his down jacket, "Stop taking pictures, try this key.
Seeing that she was dressed like a round snowman and had no hands to search her pockets, Gu Ye didn't care about anything else and moved closer to her and reached into her pockets.
There was nothing in the pocket except the key, so it was easy to feel. But the shape of this key was a bit like the "master key" circulated on the Internet. There was no time to think about it, so I opened the door first.
He opened the door with his frozen stiff hands, and saw Li Rong lying in the living room. It seemed that he was on duty, but for some reason he did not predict the cold wave in time and fell asleep.
Chu An placed a high-intensity flashlight in the treasure cabinet on the wall, and the entire living room was illuminated.
"I'll go check inside. You go back to 1111 and bring in the charcoal stove I left at the door to light a fire and boil some water."
Gu Ye nodded, strode back, opened the door and saw a one-meter-high big-bellied heating stove with a pulley base at the bottom, a clay pot in the middle and a water boiler on top.
On the other side, Chu An was looking for people in each room. The first room he opened was Huo Sisi's. She was frowning and huddled up, as if she was trapped in a nightmare. Her eyes kept moving, but she couldn't wake up. It should be that she had temporary hypothermia.
Chu An couldn't hold her, so he could only find a blanket in the room and put it on the floor, then try to push her off the bed and onto the blanket as carefully as possible.
Boom—I hit my head. Sorry.
She dragged Huo Sisi to the living room, and then went to find other people to try the same method, but she found that Tang Xiao and Yin Tianlin were a little heavy and could not be pulled.
While Gu Ye was not there, he hurriedly used his mental power to drive the straw rope and dragged the two people to the living room. Then he spread everyone's quilts on the floor of the living room.
Everyone had an electric blanket on their bed, and they all took it out and laid it on the quilt in the living room. She also found a mobile power bank, which had two kilowatt-hours of electricity, enough.
Gu Ye pushed in the charcoal stove with a burning fire, and there was a kettle on top of the stove.
She sighed. If she had known that these people were so heavy, she should have made the fire herself. Gu Ye came in and took over the work in her hands naturally, "I can do it."
During this period, she felt very comfortable being taken care of by Gu Ye, but she didn't plan to let Gu Ye do everything alone in the future. They were friends, not a master-servant relationship.
Gu Ye's idea was that as long as he didn't have to go to class every day, he could do anything. Chu An didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have added a few more test papers.
The water boiled, and then added mineral water from the house, and Gu Ye fed them. Half an hour later, the four people woke up slowly, and they were shocked and grateful for surviving the disaster. Of course, they were most grateful to Chu An and Gu Ye.
Li Rong and Tang Xiao did not have time to rest, and hurriedly took out the stoves they had prepared earlier, lit one in each room, and lit two more in the living room in addition to the one brought by Chu An.
The temperature in the city gradually rose, but only reached five degrees above zero.
Yin Tianlin was still sitting on the floor, curling up his legs and scratching his messy hair. He thought the temperature drop was due to the heavy rain, and it would never be lower than in the north, but he didn't expect that God would send him a big gift.
Because of the Yin family's affairs, he has been feeling depressed here. Now there are disasters one after another, and he is feeling a little emotionally broken.
"What's going on?" His voice was a little hoarse, "Are you going to let me live?"
Huo Sisi was wrapped in a blanket, holding a hot water bag, with tears in her eyes and a dull look. Hearing him say that, a teardrop as big as a bean silently slid down from the corner of her eye. She didn't expect to experience death in this life.
I'm really scared!
She threw away her dreams of being a war correspondent, traveling around the world and writing books. She had only one goal in life from now on - to stay alive.
Tang Xiao and Li Rong were also very depressed, one watching the kettle and the other picking at the charcoal. But since they were grown men, they said nothing.
Chu An felt the low pressure in the room and hurriedly took Gu Ye home to give them space to adjust their emotions. It was useless for him to figure out what was going on.
"No matter what, we are still alive." As he walked to the door, Gu Ye suddenly said to the people in the house, "Being alive is better than anything else."
Young man, well said.
The two returned to 1111, and the temperature inside had obviously risen again. Chu An took out a thermometer and measured it. It was 19 degrees, which was very satisfactory.
The two of them quickly took off their coats, down jackets, gloves and hats. At this temperature, wearing thicker pajamas would be enough.
After working for more than two hours, they were both a little tired. However, Gu Ye still cooked porridge and eggs, insisting that she eat something hot before resting.
Chu An felt the hot pot stock in his stomach, it seemed that there was not much left, so a bite would be fine. Since he had decided to eat, he couldn't be perfunctory, otherwise what was the point of hoarding so many supplies.
She went up to the second floor and took out some small potatoes with sauce, platycodon, kimchi, vegetable meatballs, meat floss and seaweed cakes, beef buns and a large box of milk.
Both of them are growing up, and they cannot lack nutrition and calcium.
Chu An also observed that Gu Ye didn't feel anything strange when she took out all kinds of things. She felt that he was careless when he should be, and careful when he should be.
Gu Ye was very focused on eating, basically chewing with big mouthfuls, which looked more delicious than eating live. She was also inspired and took a big sip of milk.
After eating and drinking, the sky began to brighten and the sun rose again. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the outline of the sun, only the bluish-white light.
I don’t know how many people passed away in their sleep tonight, and how many people no longer have any relatives.
