Chapter 125 Is it going to rain? (33)
It's already mid-February, not the 20th. Her little dog is already over 3 years old, and Nana is already 1 year old and an adult dog.
Speaking of age...
Lan Jin and Ling Jiang, who were older and more sensitive, were not willing to talk about it.
Of course, Lao Gao, who is very young but looks old, was not willing to talk about it, so the topic was successfully skipped.
…
The next day.
As soon as the sky was getting light, Lao Gao woke them all up.
He glanced at the sky outside. "Hmm, the sky is clear and the air is chilly. It's a good day for traveling."
Ling Jiang echoed, "With the sun so strong, the ice won't crack in a day, will it? What if you go out and can't come back? Why don't you pick another day, a cold and cloudy one?"
Lao Gao was speechless. "Why don't you just tell him not to go out? It's not that cold because of the sun. Besides, it's so cold outside. How can such hard ice melt in just one day? Do you think it's over 100 degrees?"
If the temperature was over 100 degrees now, I'm afraid the ice would not melt but explode directly due to heat.
As for the consequences of the ice explosion, Lan Jin really didn't know. After all, she had never experienced this before. There was such a plot in the novel, but it didn't really happen. So who could really know what the final result would be.
But when the ice melts, it might be okay if you're inside the building, but if you're outside, the consequences are hard to say.
…
The four of them first stood on the ice to adapt to the cold and the tools they needed, and then set off towards their destination.
Their target this time is still the office building.
Last time, I was busy all day and only scanned one office building. I have to develop the rest of them well. Besides, the office buildings are not only near them, there are six office buildings across the street. I have already started scanning the buildings, so I naturally cannot miss the ones over there.
Because the four of them left home too early, they didn't see a single person along the way. The entire journey was smooth and they arrived at the office building in just a few minutes. To be honest, it was much faster than rowing during the rainy season.
The problem is that the water is not very smooth when it is frozen quickly, so paddling on it is very bumpy, but for the sake of supplies, these can be ignored.
The four of them first found a relatively hidden window, broke it and climbed in.
The water level reached the 23rd floor, which made it particularly easy to clean the office building, which originally had only a few floors left. After going back and forth, it took only three days to clean out all the office buildings near her home.
Not a single piece of supplies was found.
Ling Jiang said disappointedly, "We should have thought of this earlier. This place must have been swept by someone, otherwise it wouldn't be so clean."
But adhering to the idea that thieves never leave an empty house, they did not return empty-handed even if they had no supplies. There were always some unexchanged wooden tables, chairs and cabinets in the office building, and they moved almost all of them back. For a while, they had a lot more wood at home.
But without supplies, there is no supplies. Wood can indeed keep you warm, but without food, that won't work either. Lao Gao said, "What should we do? We have absolutely nothing here."
After thinking for a moment, Ling Jiang said, "It's already late today. How about we go somewhere a little further away tomorrow? We might find something unexpected. This is just the beginning, so let's not be too pessimistic."
…
On the fourth day, they finally left the area near their home, but of course, they found nothing.
After the fifth, sixth, and seventh days, a whole week had passed, and they still hadn't gotten any supplies. Apart from more wood piled up at home, they couldn't find anything edible.
At this moment, even Lao Gao himself felt embarrassed. "Damn it! I said I would return the supplies to you guys if I found any. But there are no supplies at all. What can we do by hauling all this wood back every day? It's just to keep us alive and warm for a few more days."
Lao Gao gradually became irritated, but it was obvious that Ling Jiang was the one with a worse temper. Ling Jiang didn't even get angry, but he got angry first.
"Didn't we prepare ourselves mentally before we came out? It's normal not to find supplies, but I think we're just looking in the wrong place. Although this is a commercial area, there are many residents here. Can't we look somewhere else, that is, in commercial areas with fewer people? It's not convenient for us to go there, but it's not convenient for others to go there either, but it's convenient for us to go there now."
The advantage of the four of them is that they have ice scooters and skates. Even if they have to run farther, it doesn't matter. As long as they can get the supplies, no one will feel tired.
Just when several people were getting annoyed, they suddenly noticed that Huang Jinghe, who was sitting at the end of the sled, was very quiet, and at this moment he looked up at the sky with a thoughtful look on his face.
Lan Jin asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
Huang Jinghe glanced at Lan Jin and replied, "Sister Lan, don't you feel that the weather has become colder? And the sky suddenly became cloudy, and the sun disappeared. It's like... it's going to rain."
Huang Jinghe naturally didn't know how to observe celestial phenomena, but he could still tell when the weather turned from sunny to cloudy.
So as soon as he finished speaking, the three of them immediately looked up at the sky. To be honest, the sky was indeed a little colder than before, and it was also a little darker than before.
But the weather at this moment was really too abnormal. Lan Jin noticed its abnormality at a glance and said, "Let's go back quickly."
Seeing Lan Jin's serious expression, Lao Gao and Ling Jiang didn't dare to ask. They immediately turned around and skated back home. After they were already on the road, he said, "What's wrong? Why are you so anxious? The weather has changed, so it's just rain at most."
Lan Jin laughed and said, "Brother, I don't know how many degrees below zero it is right now. Do you think the raindrops that fall to the ground will be ordinary raindrops?"
Even if it rains, the dripping water will immediately turn into ice.
Small raindrops will freeze into small ice particles, and large raindrops can freeze into large hailstones. If it is a heavy rain, coupled with a cold wind...
Lan Jin shivered. Just thinking about that scene made her heart ache. After all, it was okay if the falling ice was round. The worst case scenario would be a bloody head injury. But if it froze into ice bars and accidentally pierced them when it fell -
There's no need to go home then, just stay halfway.
Don't blame her for thinking too much at this moment. There is always a chance of something happening. If it doesn't rain, it would be good. If it rains... then going home quickly would definitely be the best option.
