Chapter 392 Full of Hope for the Future
At seven in the morning, before daybreak, Lu Xingtang stared silently at the pitch-black, snowy sky. "Looks like this time, it's a blizzard plus eternal night! Two disasters happening at once!"
Fortunately, the temperature drop is not too severe at present. The original temperature was around 32°, and after a heavy snow, the temperature dropped to 19°, which is bearable. Although the blizzard is heavy, it is not accompanied by cold wind, so everyone can bear it.
Lu Xingtang asked everyone to take out the three top-level off-road vehicles in the space: Unimoni, Mengpai Plunder, and Kaimohe War Shield, and said to Su Cheng and others: "Anyone who wants to use these three vehicles can use them, but they must report it!" Lu Xingtang was reluctant to use these three off-road vehicles. They were very awesome and high-end off-road vehicles.
Seeing the appearance of three top-tier off-road vehicles, everyone's eyes lit up. "Before the apocalypse, I could only see the appearance of these three vehicles online. They were extremely expensive, and we couldn't afford to buy them. I didn't expect that the apocalypse is almost over, and we are so lucky to be able to drive these three top-tier off-road vehicles!"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Tangtang! I wonder if I encountered any danger when I was collecting these three off-road vehicles?"
Lu Xingtang smiled and told the story of how he collected the three off-road vehicles without reservation. After that, he looked at the three off-road vehicles and said, "I was lucky and had the space as a backup, so I didn't encounter any danger. I collected these three vehicles very smoothly, and there are other supplies!"
…
Three top-notch off-road vehicles were parked at the exit of the underground city. Lu Xingtang and his team drove the three vehicles around the base. There was nothing wrong with the base, so they left the base and looked at the situation outside. There was snow all over the outside of the base. Even with three top-notch off-road vehicles leading the way, it was not easy to walk. They did not go too far and returned after observing the situation.
At eight o'clock in the morning, it was still dark. This time everyone was sure that the eternal night and the blizzard were happening at the same time. Everyone prayed silently that the blizzard would stop and the eternal night would end sooner.
But after ten in the morning, the temperature gradually dropped from 19 degrees Celsius to -1 degrees Celsius. After two in the afternoon, the temperature dropped to -9 degrees Celsius. Everyone found their thick cotton coats, thermal pants, and trousers and put them on. Lu Xingtang strictly instructed everyone to take care of themselves and not get sick, especially those working or patrolling outside the base. Their safety was of great importance to Lu Xingtang and his team.
At present, there have been no casualties in the base, and everyone has gained experience. There are many things that they know how to do without Lu Xingtang and others repeating their requests.
That night, the temperature dropped again to minus 16 degrees Celsius. When people woke up in the morning, they were shivering with cold. Many people caught colds, especially the older survivors. Unfortunately, most of them were infected.
Fortunately, the hospital's supplies were transferred to the hospital in the underground city, so everyone could receive treatment. As for those who caught a cold or other survivors suffering from the same illness, Lu Xingtang strictly required the building managers of each building or row to conduct strict inspections and ensure that the survivors under their management were safe.
The natural disaster has just begun. How can we withstand the oppression of the natural disaster in the last six months if we are so weak?
Thus began a new round of fitness craze, with everyone supervising each other and exercising.
Seeing everyone so self-aware, Lu Xingtang and the others felt much better.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. The temperature dropped to minus 26 degrees Celsius. It was still in the eternal night, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. There was a blizzard every day, and the depth of the blizzard was enough to cover the gate of their base.
Because of the blizzard, power outages began in various parts of Country H. It was pitch black outside and inside the houses. They came out with the flashlights, candles, and kerosene lamps they had stockpiled to illuminate their homes.
Upon learning of this situation, the President has asked managers in various locations to arrange personnel to restore electricity as quickly as possible so that the survivors can use electricity conveniently, and it will also be convenient for themselves. However, they must take care of their own safety and not let themselves die in the snowstorm or the eternal night in order to restore electricity. Every time they go out to repair electricity, they must bring more people and wear more warm and cold-proof clothes.
There is no problem with the electricity supply at the Lancheng base. The power company took precautions on the first day of the blizzard and assigned special personnel to guard it. If any problem occurs, it will be repaired immediately. In addition, Ji Yanmo used his supernatural powers to secretly clear the snow on the utility poles and wires, so there is currently no power outage at their Lancheng base.
But after communication, Lu Xingtang and his team confirmed that Country H is currently very safe, everyone has supplies, there is no chaos, and everyone is also saving money and enduring the natural disaster.
Lu Xingtang and his team no longer cared about the situation outside the base. They just wanted the base to be stable. The supplies in plantations and farms were all protected by sunlight. So far, they had not encountered any problems and everything was fine.
But the President told Lu Xingtang: "After our investigation and inquiries, our H Country has become a vast snow country. The heavy snow has sealed H Country! It is all white! Even if it is an eternal night and pitch black, it cannot block the light emitted by the white snow. The research team has predicted that the heavy snow will continue for another seven days, and the eternal night will last for about half a month. But when the heavy snow stops, we will usher in two natural disasters: polar day and extreme heat. You must take good precautions at the Lancheng base!"
Lu Xingtang: "You must protect yourselves too!"
Arrangements were made immediately and the Lancheng base began to store large amounts of water. Even though there was no shortage of water in the underground city, they drove out the base's bulldozers, carts and trucks, and everyone worked together to collect the snow outside the base or push the snow off the tempered glass to store snow water.
Snow water cannot be drunk, and they do not intend to drink it, but it can be used in farms or large plantations. This way, it is not wasted and a lot of drinking water can be saved.
As the President said, seven days later, the heavy snow stopped. The moment the snow stopped, a cold wind blew and everyone was shivering with cold. No one wanted to leave the dungeon because it was too cold outside. However, the eternal night did not end.
Everyone was so cold that they couldn't stand it anymore, so Lu Xingtang asked them to stay in the dungeon. Except for those who were working outside the base, a group of survivors in the dungeon were selected to take turns working with the people outside the dungeon. This group of people couldn't be the only ones who had to work hard!
After a few more days, the eternal night ended and a ray of light appeared in the eastern sky. Everyone looked at the light and their eyes lit up. Although the eternal night was short this time, everyone felt that it was as slow as a century.
No matter what natural disasters may happen in the future, they are full of hope for the future.
Seeing everyone so happy, Lu Xingtang immediately asked everyone to go back. The eternal night and blizzard were over. If the sun came out, the snow would definitely melt. At that time, the temperature would drop and everyone would be more likely to get sick.
The survivors thanked Lu Xingtang for his reminder. They were happy when they saw the dawn and returned to the dungeon obediently.
