Chapter 92 Clearing the Snow
Jiang Si forced himself to eat, while Shen Baoying frequently put food into Qin Shen's bowl, smiling as if Qin Shen was her biological son.
"You are too thin, eat more."
Jiang Si recalled the scene he saw this morning. It was obvious that Qin Shen looked thin when he was dressed, but had muscles when he was undressed.
She subconsciously glanced at Qin Shen and her eyes met his.
It was as if his thoughts were seen through. No matter how thick-skinned Jiang Sirao was, he couldn't help but blush and buried his head, pretending to be calm and eating.
After dinner, she quickly got up as if she was sitting on pins and needles. While helping to wash the dishes, she pulled Shen Baoying aside and whispered in a low voice, "I told you not to misunderstand me. I just had a problem last night and I was afraid you would worry, so I went to find Qin Shen."
Shen Baoying was suddenly startled, “Are you okay?”
Jiang Si shook his head. "It's okay. There's nothing wrong between Qin Shen and me. Please don't do this again. It makes me feel embarrassed."
Shen Baoying was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "I don't think Xiao Shen feels awkward. You two are quite suitable in age and temperament. He can even take care of you. He hasn't explicitly said he doesn't like you, which means he's still interested in you."
Jiang Si's expression paused, and he took a deep breath. "Don't worry about it. Just let it go. She hasn't said she likes me, so don't be so self-indulgent."
Shen Baoying glanced in the direction of Qin Shen and said anxiously, "Mom, go ask him? Xiao Shen is introverted. His childhood experiences may have cast a shadow on marriage and love, so he doesn't dare to take the initiative. You have to be considerate of him."
In Shen Baoying's opinion, there is no one more suitable than Qin Shen for Jiang Si.
Qin Shen's hearing ability is a thousand times better than theirs. Jiang Si covered Shen Baoying's mouth with a burning face, "Stop talking, hurry up and pack up, let's go outside to shovel snow."
Shen Baoying looked at her helplessly, wondering why her daughter, who had always been brave, was so timid in her feelings.
She could clearly see that these two people had something in common.
If neither of them takes the initiative, what if they miss the opportunity?
The end of the world is so dangerous. Who knows which will come first, love or tomorrow?
But Jiang Si didn't want to talk about this, and Shen Baoying naturally respected her decision.
After cleaning the bowl, Jiang Linhai and Qin Shen had already cleared the snow blocking the cabin door.
The two of them had a pleasant conversation, and no one knew what they talked about.
Jiang Linhai's face was wrinkled from laughing.
Jiang Si glanced at Qin Shen, then quickly looked away and looked towards the sea.
The sea surface, which was broken ice yesterday, has completely frozen into thick ice.
Jiang Si stood on Class A and carefully looked down. The ice was at least one meter thick and the temperature was minus fifty degrees Celsius.
The snow was falling lightly, and the thickness of the snow accumulated on Class A had reached two or three meters.
The yacht visibly sank a lot and connected to the ice surface.
The snow on the yacht must be dealt with. If the yacht is covered with snow on all sides, even if the yacht's engine is not started, the generator will malfunction due to the continued low temperature.
There was a snow blower on the yacht. Qin Shen pried open the frozen warehouse. The snow blower was covered with frost. Jiang Si climbed up and tried to start it, but there was no response.
The car batteries on these snow blowers all died.
If they want to remove the snow, they have to rely on themselves.
Jiang Linhai had never seen such heavy snow before, so he asked her, "Can't we just spray snow-melting agent?"
Jiang Si shook his head. "If you just apply snowmelt directly, it will just pile up and freeze again. Normally, you need to shovel the snow and clear the basic road surface before using snowmelt. But with this much snow, it doesn't matter whether you use it or not. We still have to shovel the snow."
Jiang Linhai took a look at the snow that was thicker than his own, and suddenly felt overwhelmed. He wondered how long it would take to clean it up.
But in order to give the yacht a chance to start, they had to deal with it no matter how difficult it was, to prevent the snow from piling up even more.
Without a snowplow, they found a few carts and shovels.
Niu Niu and Jiang Chengwu were taken care of by Zhang Qingfang, and Lu Zhifeng also came out to help.
The snow was so thick that Jiang Si was exhausted after working for half an hour.
The main reason is that I wear too thick clothes, and if I take them off when it gets hot, I will easily get sick.
There is a bulldozer in Jiang Si's space, but the temperature is too low. If the bulldozer is not kept running, it will break down immediately.
While Qin Shen was shoveling the snow, he was pouring antifreeze into the yacht's fuel tank. As long as the temperature was slightly higher at noon, he could start the yacht, open the drainage system on the hull, and the accumulated snow would slide down.
It's much better than them working so hard.
Jiang Linhai was so tired that he was out of breath. He said to Jiang Si, "Go and have a rest for a while."
Jiang Si shook his head, "I'm not strong enough, I need to train harder."
Compared to her body after experiencing the apocalypse for ten years in her previous life, it was indeed too weak.
Jiang Linhai turned to look at Qin Shen, who was working hard and wearing only a few clothes, and advised him like an old father, "Young man, don't be careless. Wear more clothes. It's forty or fifty degrees below zero now."
Jiang Si felt a little flustered by Jiang Linhai's friendly attitude. Qin Shen nodded calmly and glanced at her. His deep eyes slightly raised, as if he was smiling.
Jiang Si lowered his eyes, wondering whether to listen to Shen Baoying or it would be better to open it.
When the sun came out, the temperature rose significantly.
The yacht engine suddenly started and everyone was very happy. They hurriedly fumbled around and operated to drain the snow on Class A onto the sea.
Although there was much less snow on the yacht, the snow piled up under the yacht was like a small mountain.
Jiang Si sighed: "It would be great if our yacht was an icebreaker."
Icebreakers have high horsepower, their engines are not easy to freeze, and they can move freely on the ice. Unlike them now, they can only rely on helicopters to leave.
But he was not sure whether other places were also covered by extreme cold, and he was afraid that he would encounter a blizzard on the helicopter. Now there were sufficient supplies on the yacht and the environment was suitable for them. Jiang Si felt that he might as well stay there for a while.
After all, in this apocalyptic world, nowhere is safe.
In her previous life, she had experienced this deeply.
Jiang Linhai asked, "What is the mechanism of an icebreaker? Can't we modify the ship?"
Jiang Si smiled and shook her head. "Icebreakers are built differently from ordinary ships. They're primarily used for military rescue and Antarctic exploration. They can't be easily modified." Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "However, even icebreakers can get frozen. They'll have the crew disembark, use machinery to break the ice, and then let the ship crash through the cracks."
"We don't have that kind of machinery, but we can blow it up with explosives!"
There are a batch of them in Jiang Si's space, but not many. Maybe he can look for ice-breaking or drilling tools on the cruise ship.
Jiang Linhai immediately said, "That's great. If it can explode, should we stay away from the cruise ship?"
After all, there are so many supplies here.
If there is a sudden need, they can go on board the cruise ship to search.
