Heavy snow fell for more than a month.
The whole world was submerged in snow. Most of the mountains next to the Hope Base were submerged, with only a small part exposed above the snow. It was like a few small islands in the vast sea of snow.
Every day, a large number of people were sent to the Hope Base to clean up the snow, and then transport it outside the base, where fire-type psychics would melt the snow piled up into mountains. Every day, psychics would clean up the snow within a hundred meters of the base wall. Although it was unlikely that zombies would suddenly attack the base in such a thick snow, it was better to be safe than sorry, so the Hope Base still insisted on cleaning up the newly accumulated snow outside the wall every day.
The weather is extremely cold. Now, except for those who do the snow removal task every day, everyone else in the base is staying indoors. The cotton-padded clothes made of reed flowers are very warm, but in this kind of weather, no matter how thick your clothes are, you will still shiver from the cold.
The base is almost out of fuel now. Although Li Xue had asked people to collect trees before, the population is large after all, and the daily consumption is very alarming.
Now the heavy snow has buried everything outside the base, and there is no way to collect them even if you want to. Even the trees on the top of the mountain of the base have been cut down.
Jian Hui discussed with Li Xue and decided to collect all the fuel and no longer distribute it to the people in the base. The logistics department will prepare the food, and the people only need to use points or crystal cores to buy cooked food. Even so, the fuel was still decreasing at an alarming rate.
No one knew when the heavy snow would stop, so Li Xue took some of the freshly harvested straw in the space and gave it to Jian Hui. But this was not a long-term solution, so Xiao Ye took the wood-type mutants to the top of the mountain every day to promote the growth of trees, and then cut them down to process them into fuel.
In the past month, the Hope Base has been in constant contact with other bases to understand each other's situations.
When the reed flower was found before, Li Xue also notified the other bases in time. As for whether they could use this method, Li Xue didn't care. She just wanted to pass on the methods she knew to other bases, hoping to help and reduce human deaths.
The situations in other bases are still under control for the time being. Moreover, the methods provided by Li Xue have greatly reduced the number of deaths caused by cold.
Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Li Xue is now particularly concerned about these things and has a greater respect for life.
How lucky she is to be reborn.
And she feels more and more that God has allowed her to be reborn and given her such a mysterious space. It is impossible that God has allowed her to come back just to seek revenge.
Li Xue's belly has been more than eight months. The older she is, the greater her burden will be. The little ancestor in her belly is full of energy every day, kicking her from time to time, making Li Xue uncomfortable. Now she is uncomfortable sitting or lying down. She has never slept well at night and is often woken up by being kicked.
If it weren't for the spiritual spring water to help her replenish her energy, Li Xue really didn't know how she would have survived.
Xiangdong was also very worried. As long as Li Xue made any noise at night, he would wake up. After enduring for a while, his face looked more haggard than Li Xue.
Li Xue was also very distressed to see him like this, and urged him to sleep in another room, but Xiangdong was unwilling.
"Wife, if I go to sleep in another room, I'm afraid I will suffer from insomnia all night." Xiangdong was worried about Li Xue sleeping alone with a big belly.
Li Xue wanted to say that she was not that weak. When she was pregnant with Haohao, she took care of herself. But seeing Xiangdong's worried look, she stopped talking. It was natural that she felt very sweet in her heart to have a man who cared about her so much.
Over there, Lin Miao and Jian Hui also brought good news one after another.
The two found out that they were pregnant at about the same time.
When Li Xue got the news, she pointed at Lin Miao and Jian Hui and smiled ambiguously: "When it gets cold, you don't go out much. Do you exercise at home every day? Otherwise, how come you are pregnant after such a heavy snow after such a long time of inactivity?"
Jian Hui blushed.
Lin Miao said carelessly: "Why? Is it illegal for me to exercise with my man? Do you have the nerve to say that to us? Besides, compared with you and Xiangdong, we are far behind. The fruits of your diligent exercise came more than seven months earlier than ours."
Li Xue was gagged now and never laughed at them again.
Guo Qing and Hu Zi were grinning all day long, laughing like fools.
Especially Guo Qing. Although he had gotten over his mental problems before, he still seldom smiled. Now he smiled like a fool, which really scared Qi Shishi, who had always had a serious psychological shadow on him.
Ever since Lin Miao and Jian Hui got pregnant, Li Xue's house became a classroom for expectant mothers. Every day, Lin Miao and Jian Hui would be sent over by Guo Qing and Hu Zi without fail. The three women gathered together to discuss all the little knowledge about pregnancy, as well as the gender and appearance of their future children and all other topics related to children.
After finishing their work, the three expectant fathers served their queen, fearing that any inconsiderateness would make the queen unhappy.
After Lin Miao became pregnant, her temper became particularly hot, almost to the point of exploding at any time. Guo Qing was very careful every day and had to walk close to the wall, for fear of making Lin Miao angry.
However, Jian Hui was the most stable one among the three pregnant women, even calmer than before she became pregnant. Xiangdong,
who had read all the pregnancy manuals, angrily said to Guo Qing that this was totally unscientific! Isn't it said that emotional changes after pregnancy are very serious? Isn't it said that pregnant women are all little princesses? Why doesn't Jian Hui have these conditions at all?
Hu Zi said cheerfully: "What's the matter, it's just a character problem."
The two prospective fathers who were implied to have character problems ruthlessly suppressed the unreasonably cocky Hu Zi.
While several expectant fathers and mothers were happily sharing these sweet things, a huge conspiracy was brewing in the residential area.
Because the heavy snow blocked everything, all the psychics did not have to go on missions and practiced their abilities in the base all day.
However, Xie Bin and others who had just arrived at the Hope Base were never idle.
Xie Bin wandered among the psychics all day, especially those from the H Base. Usually he discussed things related to superpowers with them, and occasionally they would reminisce about the time they spent at the H Base.
The people sent to the east to keep watch came back and reported that Xie Bin and his people did not have any abnormal behavior, and everything seemed normal.
