Watching the three fluffy creatures frolicking in the snow, and Ah Liu and Lao Bai constantly causing trouble nearby, as well as the mutated plants in the mutated forest that kept stretching their branches upwards to reach the snowflakes, Lin Ruo felt a little more at ease. No matter what kind of natural disaster might occur in the future, she now had enough strength to deal with it.
She glanced at the snow-covered landscape one last time, then turned and went back into the fortress.
The snowflakes had just begun to fall, but the temperature had already dropped below zero and was still falling. Lin Ruo manipulated the spatial energy to light all the fireplaces in the fortress, and the burning logs in the fireplaces brought warmth to the entire fortress.
She turned and went back to her bedroom. Starting today, her day and night schedule would return to normal, and she would correct her previous habit of having her days and nights reversed.
Lying in the warm indoors, listening to the soft sound of snow falling outside the fortress, Lin Ruo quickly fell asleep.
...
On the morning of the first day of the blizzard, snowflakes continued to fall. The underground base of City B was completely submerged in snow. In the end, it was only by having superhumans break through the snow at the entrance that these ordinary survivors were able to come out.
Standing at the forefront of the group, Ye Lin frowned as he looked at the pure white snow covering the sky. There was no appreciation in his eyes. The snow was falling too heavily. It had been snowing since dawn, and it was only six in the morning. The snow in the B City base was already a meter and a half thick, and the base of the building that the superhumans had built was now deeply buried in the snow.
There is more snow outside the city than inside, and the uneven ground that was previously corroded by acid rain is now completely covered by snow. This means that in some places the snow is more than 2 meters deep, making it very dangerous to go out.
"Jiang Yue, organize the survivors in the base to start clearing the snow. We will give them points later. In the future, the work of clearing snow should be divided and cooperated. Someone should be clearing it at all times so that there won't be such a thick layer of snow."
Jiang Yue, who stepped out after him, was also taken aback by the white expanse outside. Although he knew that the experts had predicted the power of this massive blizzard, he was still astonished when he saw it with his own eyes. The snowfall was enormous.
After thinking it over, he immediately notified his troops to assemble on the terminal to clear the snow.
Upon hearing Ye Lin's command, he immediately responded, "Yes."
Within half an hour, the ordinary survivors at the B City base were mobilized to leave the underground base and begin clearing the snow.
These survivors had never seen such heavy snow before, and their hearts were filled with a mixture of fear and surprise. So much so that they were chatting with the people around them while clearing the snow.
A man wearing a long-sleeved thin cotton coat was laboriously shoveling the thick snow to the side with a hoe. A gust of cold wind blew by, and the man subconsciously shivered.
Two years of extreme heat have left these survivors wondering where they put their old winter coats. Some, having no summer clothes to replace them, have even dismantled their coats and made short-sleeved shirts and shorts.
But who would have thought that after two years of extreme heat, they would still be able to use them? People who can wear cotton-padded clothes now are considered to have a very good quality of life. These cotton-padded clothes were exchanged with the base using crystal cores.
"Damn it, this weather is so damn cold! This cotton coat is too thin, the wind can see right through it."
"Stop complaining. At least you have a cotton coat to wear. I'm wearing five layers of thin clothes, it's like I'm not wearing anything at all!" A slightly thin man said while shoveling snow, trying to keep warm.
"This meteorologist is really amazing. I didn't expect that such a heavy snowstorm would actually happen so quickly. I was still hoping for the best and didn't know when it would stop."
"The snow fell nearly a meter and a half thick overnight. If it's not cleared in time, we might not even be able to leave the base."
"Who says otherwise? How are we going to go hunting in the future?"
"We were hoping that after the acid rain, we could go outside together and collect the crystal cores left behind by the animals. But now it seems that the snow outside the base is probably two meters deep. Where are we going to collect crystal cores?"
"What a pity..."
"Let's get to work quickly. We're giving points for clearing snow at the base. I'm definitely going to use those points to get a cotton coat. It's so cold."
There were many people shoveling snow around, their voices rising and falling. However, they were all trembling as they spoke. The daytime temperature had already dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius, and although it hadn't continued to drop, such a temperature was still deadly for those without warm clothes.
Zhao Hui and Li Wei naturally joined in clearing the snow. Their survivor team now consisted of 15 people, along with their families, all gathered together, wielding their tools and continuously clearing the snow from the streets.
Qian Li was wearing the cotton-padded clothes she had left over from the previous extreme cold, and she was also holding an iron shovel in her hand. Her hands were red from the cold, but she shoveled the snow up and threw it onto the snow pile to the side with great skill. Her movements were very standard, and she looked like someone who was used to doing manual labor.
"In this weather, I wonder if Lin Ruo has any winter clothes. Should we have Zhao Hui send her a message to ask?"
Li Wei was much faster than Qian Li. He did the work of two people. When he heard Qian Li's words, he shook his head slightly. Lin Ruo originally had water-based abilities. She could condense ice at such a low temperature, so she was naturally not afraid of this snow. Contacting her at this time would be a disturbance to her.
"Her life will definitely be better than ours. She should have quite a few crystal cores. If she really has difficulties, she will contact Jiang Yue to buy things. We shouldn't bother her too much."
"Even if she doesn't have a crystal core, the B City base would probably be very willing to accept her if she wanted to."
Zhao Hui was also standing nearby. He nodded slightly. Ever since he became friends with Lin Ruo, she might reply to one out of ten of the messages he sent, and that was only if she was interested in that particular message.
She genuinely dislikes being bothered too much; what might be considered caring greetings by ordinary people could be a nuisance to her.
Qian Li sighed slightly. She really felt the difference. She could already sense that Lin Ruo was extraordinary when she was in Longyuan, but she didn't expect that Lin Ruo had now reached the point where he could destroy an entire base by himself.
With such strength, she is someone people awe and look up to wherever she goes. Even the repeated attempts by the B City base to recruit her, whether intentional or not, were all rejected by her.
"Indeed, we are not from the same world as her. Providing her with some information is the best we can do."
After she finished speaking, she swung the shovel in her hand even more vigorously. Now that the blizzard had sealed off the area, all supplies had to be purchased from the base. In addition, more than 70% of the survivors outside the base had died in that terrible acid rain. Li Wei and his team's business would definitely be even more difficult. When they encountered such an opportunity to earn points, they had to work as hard as possible to get more points.
Transport planes flew back and forth in the sky, carrying the accumulated snow bit by bit to distant places to be dumped.
