After getting off the car, Shi Man estimated that the temperature was about 30° higher than the outside temperature, fluctuating between 0° and 3°.
On the first surface level, apart from those on duty, there are various staff members, and everyone is very busy.
"Sister Man, Tieshu will take you to the -4th floor. I have to go see my superior."
Shi Man nodded and followed Tie Shu into an elevator. The elevator was a little slow, so Tie Shu explained to her, "Floors -3 and -4 are the survivor resettlement areas. I can show you around both floors. Which floor do you want to go to first, Sister Man?"
"Anything is fine."
Shi Man suddenly asked, "Which floor do you live on?"
Iron Rat paused and smiled, "Sometimes I live in -2, sometimes I live outside."
Shi Man was silent for a few seconds: "Where is the management?"
This time, it was Iron Rat who remained silent. He mumbled, "Maybe -5 or -6."
Shi Man sneered, it really is true that big shots don’t have to suffer from the wind and cold.
Affected by the geothermal gradient, the temperature becomes more stable as you go down. Shi Man estimated the height of each floor in the elevator, which is at least 6 meters. There are seven floors of underground shelters. Although it does not reach the deep underground, you have to know that the temperature outside is minus 30°.
The thermal insulation properties of the soil in the lowest shelter slow down heat loss. Hongdu Mountain is not a permafrost zone, but in extreme environments, it is true that the deeper you go, the warmer it gets.
Shi Man felt like he was fed a mouthful of shit.
She thought again of the chilblains on Lu Mingyue's hands and the mist in the breath of the soldiers on duty.
The elevator stopped at -4. Shi Man walked out of the elevator. In an instant, all kinds of noisy sounds entered his ears, followed by a burst of unpleasant smells entering his nose.
Just because it's cold doesn't mean the smell will go away.
The temperature of the -4th layer is about 7°, which is a temperature that can be tolerated by wearing more clothes.
What caught my eye were rows and rows of steel-framed bunk beds, many of which were occupied by people. Bags, large and small, hung from the bunk beds, and everywhere I looked was nothing but people.
Shi Man heard coughing and children crying. Although these people were not speaking loudly, with millions of mouths gathered together, it was like a gathering of mosquitoes.
Shi Man's appearance only made a small number of people look up.
Those eyes were filled with curiosity, greed, and hidden hostility.
After all, for the underground survivors, every additional person who comes in will take away more of their resources.
What made Shi Man want to laugh was that she actually saw someone playing cards.
Iron Rat also saw it and sighed, "When people are bored, they will find some fun."
Shi Man said expressionlessly, "When you're dying, you don't have the energy to have fun."
She had an indescribable sense of absurdity.
She saw people carrying firewood here, but also a group of people who were clueless and didn't know how to save themselves. She couldn't say there was anything wrong with these people who were having fun. But when Shi Man looked at them, she only thought of one sentence:
——Boiling a frog in warm water.
The survivors placed their hopes on Mount Hongdu.
They delivered their trust. Most of them were ordinary people who were brought here one after another during the flood. They did not face the danger of the end of the world. Perhaps most of them felt that the natural disaster was over sooner or later.
They just need to wait and be patient.
They feel that order still exists.
If these people don't understand the urgency of the situation, then don't the management of Hongdushan understand it either? This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
