Chapter 174 The severe winter has arrived After

a while, news came from Fengwei Village that the surrounding villages, with Fengwei Village as the center, had learned how to deal with the mutant fish.

The nearby coastline was temporarily protected.

Chen Qingqing's heart finally fell.

With the arrival of the first snow, the severe cold became more severe.

When Wu Yue was in charge of the 75th Base, she found a cotton clothing factory and rushed to make a lot of cotton clothing, which is now in use. Now,

except for those who have to go out to work, there are no more people on the streets of the 75th Base.

Most people stay at home and keep warm with the heating supplied by the base.

Fortunately, V City is located in the north and has its own floor heating. As long as the boiler room is lit, the houses in the entire 75th Base will also be warm.

Chen Qingqing also changed her work from the office to working at home.

With Xiaohuan and Lin Bo accompanying her at home, handling official business is no longer boring.

Chen Qingqing finished processing the last one of the day on the computer, stood up and walked to the French window, looking at the snow scene outside the glass.

The base was all white, as if covered with a snow-colored blanket.

The temperature has dropped to a certain level, but Chen Qingqing is not worried. On the contrary, she is full of hope.

The worsening cold means that the cold winter is about to pass.

As long as the cold winter is over, spring will come.

Spring is short, but it is enough for them to sow crops on a large scale.

As long as there is food, people will have hope.

However, after spring passes, the hot summer will come, and Chen Qingqing must prepare for the coming summer in advance.

"Sister, I'm back."

Xiao Huan opened the door for Shang Li, and Shang Li stepped on the snow on his boots on the mat at the door before entering the house.

He took off his fur hat and grinned at Chen Qingqing who turned back to look at him, but he hissed in pain.

"What's wrong?" Chen Qingqing came over.

"It's nothing, I just forgot to wipe my face before going out a few days ago, and my face was frozen." Shang Li rubbed his frozen left face and smiled.

Chen Qingqing slapped his hand away with a "pa" sound: "If you have frostbite, you have to treat it properly and don't touch it casually."

Shang Li retracted his hand obediently: "It's a little itchy."

Ming Peilan walked out of the second bedroom when she heard the voice: "Oh, you're finally back."

"I've been talking about it these two days. You must have suffered a lot out there."

Shang Li led a team out of the base to investigate the situation in V City and its vicinity some time ago, and they have just returned now.

Ming Peilan turned back to find the medicine box, muttering: "Hurry up and sit on the sofa, I'll apply frostbite medicine to you."

Shang Li said carelessly: "It's not hard, Youzhi is with me, there is enough fire! I can make a fire anytime! With a fire, I can grill meat. I've eaten a chicken every day these days, and I'm almost fat."

"It's not good to eat meat all the time, the nutrition is not balanced... Where is the frozen vegetable package I brought you?" Chen Qingqing asked.

Because the heavy snow blocked the road, it became very difficult to go out or come back. If you are not careful, the car will get stuck in the snow. In order to ensure that the team members who went out to investigate the situation can have a balanced nutrition and no physical problems, Chen Qingqing sent someone to prepare frozen vegetable packages to eat with frozen meat.

Shang Li rubbed his nose: "We met a group of people on the road. It was snowing heavily at that time and we couldn't go out... I felt sorry for them, so I gave them some food."

Chen Qingqing narrowed her eyes: "Did you give out the vegetable packages too?"

Shang Li stood up straight immediately: "Don't worry, sister! I have been taking vitamins recently, and I am sure there will be no problem with my body!"

Chen Qingqing sighed: "Forget it, I will ask your brother-in-law to make something delicious for you later."

Shang Li immediately showed a servile smile: " My sister and brother-in-law are the most considerate of me."

Ming Peilan came out of the second bedroom carrying a medicine box. When she heard what happened to Shangli, she shook her head: "You... come here quickly and apply the medicine!"

Shangli sat on the sofa obediently. Xiaohuan immediately sat beside him and hugged his arm. He looked up at Ming Peilan applying frostbite to him: "Uncle, what did you see when you went out this time?"

Shangli laughed twice: "I saw a lot of things! There are tigers, lions, cheetahs..."

Ming Peilan paused while applying medicine to him.

"Are you going to the zoo or to investigate?"

"Don't disbelieve it." Shangli said seriously.

"I didn't believe it at first. I thought I was hallucinating."

He thought that on such a heavy snowy day, all animals had to hide in caves and shiver waiting for spring.

As a result, he walked around V City and found that only humans were restrained by the cold winter.

"It's so hot outside!" Shang Li was still excited when he recalled the animals he saw.

There were many animals he had never seen before the end of the world.

Ming Peilan was puzzled: "Those tigers, lions and so on, didn't they attack you?"

If they attacked Shang Li, why was Shang Li still so excited?

"That's exactly what I want to say!" Shang Li's eyes lit up.

"Those tigers and lions must have changed! They are much bigger than before, like a small mountain. More importantly, they seem to have become smarter."

Chen Qingqing thought: "You mean, they have developed wisdom?"

"Yes! That's what I mean!"

"Normally, they shouldn't be able to catch anything to eat in this season. When we met them, we didn't have a car and there were only a few people. But not only did they not rush up to us, they also walked around us!"

Since they appeared around the city, it means that there is nothing to eat in the mountains, but they didn't rush to eat when they saw humans.

This is indeed unusual.

Chen Qingqing thought of the mutant rooster she had seen before.

It was larger than the average mutant chicken and consciously protected its tribe.

More importantly, it could understand Chen Qingqing's words.

Otherwise, Chen Qingqing would not have gotten the mutant chicken from it.

Could it be that... other mutants also have intelligent leaders?

Or do all large mutants have intelligence?

If they can really communicate... can they be used by humans?

Chen Qingqing immediately made a decision when she thought of this: "Shangli, you arrange a few teams to go out again in the next few days. You don't have to do anything else, just look for those large mutants."

"Notify me as soon as you find anything."

Shangli responded quickly.

Shangli saw Chen Qingqing thinking about something solemnly, and asked tentatively; "Sister, what are our plans for next week?"

Chen Qingqing raised her head, confused: "What plans?"

Shangli blinked: "The Chinese New Year is coming next week!"

... Is it the Chinese New Year?

Without waiting for Chen Qingqing to respond, Xiao Huan jumped up from the sofa and jumped to another sofa happily: "New Year's Eve! New Year's Eve! I'm going to collect the New Year's money!"

Xiao Huan shouted this sentence, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes were a little blank.

The New Year's money now... seems to be of no use.
