Chapter 83 83. Severe winter is coming
For several days in a row, Luo Tong stayed inside the house without going out, going to the attic from time to time to check on the corrosion of the roof.
Although the corrosion effect of rainwater is not immediate, it will cause serious consequences over time.
Use crystal cores to exchange contribution points in order to live in a house that can withstand rain corrosion.
Nowadays, those tents and wooden houses have long been uninhabitable, and only those houses with masonry structures can still survive.
Compared with Leader Lin's lack of attention, Zhao Muchang seemed much more humane.
He opened the vacant houses to the public free of charge, giving women and children priority to move in.
However, the number of houses was too small, so Zhao Muchang could only ask the soldiers to go out to look for buses or containers.
Although iron products will corrode, they are still much stronger than tents and wood.
Few buses were found, but many containers were found. One container can accommodate many people, which barely solves the housing problem.
On this day, Luo Tong drew another big red cross on the wall of the attic, already the twenty-sixth one.
"It's almost there..."
"What's almost here?" Lu Xiaoning climbed up the stairs.
"Xiao Ning? What's wrong?"
"I want to ask..." Lu Xiaoning's face turned a little red, "Do you still have clean underwear and sanitary napkins?"
"some."
Luo Tong took out several large packages of aunt's towels from the space, plus a package of disposable underwear, all of which were collected in Wuchuan.
"Great, I've used up all my supplies. By the way, what did you just say it's almost here?"
"Uh...nothing."
Luo Tong suddenly woke up at night. She had been paying attention to the weather changes in the past few days. On the day when the rain stopped, the temperature would drop rapidly, and then there would be snowfall for several months.
Perhaps because of his promotion to the second level, his five senses are extremely sharp even when he is asleep.
I walked to the window and looked out through the glass. It was dark outside, but I didn't hear the sound of raindrops hitting the building anymore.
This sound has been with her for almost a month. It was annoying at first, but she gradually got used to it.
But now the surroundings are pitch dark, so quiet that one can even hear the moving air currents.
Such silence made her uneasy and she opened the eroded and mottled windows.
The gas carrying body temperature is exhaled from the mouth and nose, and turns into white mist when it meets the outside air.
Luo Tong looked at the sky and could see twinkling stars among the clouds.
The thick cumulus clouds are gone and it won’t rain anymore!
The harsh winter is coming...tonight!
Quickly closing the window, Luo Tong entered the space and began to take stock of the supplies she had collected in Wuchuan, which she had prepared for the harsh winter.
She knew what kind of desperate situation this harsh winter would push mankind into.
Perhaps to relieve stress, Luo Tong counted the supplies over and over again. Thermal underwear, down jackets, snow boots, gloves, hats, scarves and even baby warmers.
Thanks to her working day and night in Wuchuan to collect crystal nuclei, the space continues to expand.
The current space was filled with her on the day she left Wu Chuan, not even a corner was spared.
After taking out some supplies, Luo Tong hesitated for a moment before waking up everyone in the room.
"Luo Tong, what are you doing, so late at night?" Xu Haoyu rubbed his eyes and came downstairs with Lu Xiao.
The uncle's family was also sleepy-eyed, and everyone looked at Luo Tong with puzzled eyes.
Candles were lit in the living room on the first floor, and several people noticed several large boxes on the floor.
"What are those, daughter?" Luo Zhiguo walked over.
"This is for everyone, take it and put it on."
"Put it on?"
"Didn't you hear that?"
Seeing that everyone was still confused, Luo Tong pointed out the window.
"It's not raining outside."
Jiang Zhan walked to the window in a few steps and pushed it open.
"Really! The rain has stopped!?"
Lu Xiao walked to the door and opened the door. A bone-chilling wind rushed in, completely freezing everyone awake.
"Damn! I'm so cold!!" Xu Haoyu hugged his shoulders with his arms, and a layer of goosebumps arose on his neck. "Close the door quickly! Close the door quickly!"
"What's going on? Why has the temperature outside suddenly dropped?"
"Mom, don't ask, just put on your clothes first."
Everyone came to several boxes and opened them. Inside were brand new thermal clothes and down jackets.
There were all the clothes, shoes and socks in the box. Everyone found a suitable size and took them to the room to change.
After all this hard work, everyone lost their sleepiness. After changing their clothes and pants, everyone went back to the living room and sat down.
"Xiaotong, how did you know it would cool down?" Jiang Zhan asked.
"I...just guessed."
"Didn't you prepare those clothes in advance?"
"I took some of everything, just in case I need it."
"It's so cold, I guess it will snow later!" Xu Haoyu said with certainty.
"I think so too, and I think it will get colder and colder today. It's better for everyone to stay together to save fuel."
"There are more than 20 of us here, how can we live together?"
"Open up several rooms on the second floor. I also have tents and sleeping bags here. I have dismantled all the useless furniture and can use it for heating. All the things that can keep warm are moved to the second floor, and the supplies are also moved there."
"Daughter...you are exaggerating. You can't say that the temperature will rise again in a few days."
"Okay, let's check the weather tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Sure enough, as Luo Tong said, the weather was getting colder day by day. It was still around 20 degrees when the rain stopped, but three days later the temperature was only 5 or 6 degrees.
"The temperature has dropped too much..."
"I think it's better to follow what Xiaotong said before and live on the second floor. It will be warmer if we all live together."
"Okay! I'm going to smash the wall right now!" Lao Huang said, picking up the iron rod and going up.
Luo Tong said to his father, "There must be a lot of books at the school that can be used as fuel. If necessary, you can use contribution points or even crystal cores to exchange for them. While the temperature has not dropped too much in the past few days, everyone has worked hard to make preparations.
Finish."
When everyone was discussing the work they wanted to complete, Luo Tong gave each of them some more crystal nuclei.
"It's okay to eat, or to exchange for the supplies you need. If you don't have enough, come to me to get it."
Two more days passed in the blink of an eye, and the temperature dropped to below zero.
"Daughter, bring me some more firewood. Hey! If it continues to get cold like this, the water won't boil!"
Luo Tong's eyes lit up. Fortunately, his mother reminded him, otherwise she would have forgotten this.
"Mom is right. It seems that we need to make some food as soon as possible. Leave me some space when you make it. If you want to eat, you can just take it. This will save you trouble in the future."
Space and time are stagnant. She can store hot food in it and it will still be hot when she takes it out.
"I'll do it too."
"I'll help too, as well as Xiao Ning." Aunt Juan also said.
Several women had to help make food, so Luo Tong asked his father and uncle to move the food from the attic into the kitchen.
Everyone is struggling with what to do to preserve it and make it easy to eat.
"Mom, you can make whatever you want. It won't go bad if you put it in space and it can keep it warm."
"Really!?" Lu Xiaoning couldn't believe it.
"Well, you can do whatever you want, no need to worry about it."
The smell of cooking food was too tempting, so several women decided to open the fire and cook it at night. Everyone would still be asleep in the middle of the night, so no one would notice.
Luo Tong also thought it made sense and helped clean, cut into pieces, and prepare them for cooking at night.
Seeing that the women were all busy, the men couldn't sit still anymore and helped to clean up.
The random stew, steamed buns, white rice, and mixed-noodle pancakes almost used all the existing ingredients. In the end, Luo Tong also took out most of the meat and eggs stored in the space.
