Chapter 210: Extreme Cold Doomsday: A New Crisis
Zhou Xuan didn't know that the goddess he had always loved in school had died quietly in the air-raid shelter.
He has not yet recovered from the bad news that the jade pendant was damaged.
In other words, he still had a glimmer of hope that if he could find someone who could repair the jade pendant in the future, and fix it, maybe his space would be restored.
With this thought, Zhou Xuan cheered up again.
Before leaving, he ate half a box of cookies left over from last night.
The weather was cold and the biscuits were frozen hard. My cheeks hurt after chewing them.
Zhou Xuan didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the weather today was a little abnormal. It was almost noon, which should be the warmest time of the day, but he felt it was colder than yesterday afternoon.
The wind and the cold were aiming to penetrate into the gaps between his bones.
No one noticed that Zhou Xuan's expression at this moment was different from that of others.
His face was too red and his whole body was emitting heat, but the heat dissipated into the cold air as soon as it was released.
As he walked, Zhou Xuan seemed to feel that something was wrong with his condition.
But the people around me were all gritting their teeth and walking hard in the snow. No one could protect themselves, let alone help others.
He had no choice but to keep going, silently praying that he could reach the base as soon as possible.
When they first set out, Zhou Xuan had good physical strength and walked at the front of the entire queue. As time went by, the shape of the queue gradually deformed.
Some people with good physical strength gradually moved to the front, while others slowly fell to the back.
Zhou Xuan belonged to the latter. Everyone was just rushing on their way, and no one would pay attention unless they fell to the ground.
He may have caught a cold yesterday and has a fever.
Zhou Xuan's teeth began to tremble uncontrollably. He felt very cold, yet his whole body was hot.
Zheng Shi passed Zhou Xuan. He glanced to the side and seemed to see that something was wrong with Zhou Xuan's condition, but he didn't say anything. He just passed him.
Zhou Xuan walked slower and slower, and unknowingly arrived at the end of the team.
At this moment, he opened his mouth and wanted to ask for help, but found that he could no longer speak.
The world began to turn upside down in his eyes.
Zhou Xuan, who had a high fever, did not notice that the person next to him was Xiao Jie, who had snatched his food last night.
After Xiao Jie snatched his things, she just ate some of them hastily and hid some of them. The rest of the food was snatched away by other students who swarmed over.
Fortunately, she had eaten something, otherwise she would not be able to keep up with the pace of the main group.
Damn Zhou Xuan!
Even at this time, Xiao Jie was still secretly cursing the heartless Zhou Xuan in her heart.
She had no idea that the person walking next to her was her ex-boyfriend whom she was cursing at the moment.
Gradually, she also walked to the front.
"boom!"
Zhou Xuan, who was at the end of the team, fell in the snow.
The faint sound was drowned out by the whistling cold wind, and the people who were walking with their heads down did not notice that there was one less person around them.
Maybe, I really didn’t find it.
......
"This day, something is so wrong."
Jiang Jiang muttered to himself as he looked at the one-meter-high snow pile in the yard.
Some time ago, Jiang Jiang went out to sweep the snow every day, but in the past few days, even if she swept the snow, the snow would pile up high again within a few hours, so she simply stopped sweeping the snow.
Wangcai's family are wild animals with keen intuition. They are more sensitive to natural disasters than many humans.
During this period, Wangcai's family continued to work hard as usual, but the frequency of going out was significantly reduced, and the whole fox seemed a little anxious.
Especially today, Jiang Jiang felt that the fox father and mother were going crazy. The two of them surrounded Jiang Jiang, howling, circling around her non-stop, and even went against their usual practice and ran over to bite her trouser legs, trying to drag her away.
If you just want to cool them down, they won't be kept cold if you have a heater or a kang at home.
Jiang Jiang guessed that there might be other reasons.
This is a mountainous area, and common natural disasters are generally mudslides and earthquakes.
But the area where they live is not an area with intense crustal activity, and there have been almost no earthquakes in the past few decades.
Mudslides are quite common. The original owner's parents died from mudslides.
Jiang Jiang suddenly thought of a natural disaster that was somewhat similar to a mudslide.
avalanche!
It's probably an avalanche!
Although the hill where Qingshan Village is located is not high, it is still several hundred meters high. Now that it has been snowing heavily for such a long time, even the roof of Jiang Jiang's house is covered with thick snow, not to mention the mountain.
Jiang Jiang also knew a little bit more. Generally, avalanches are caused by too much snow and the mountain cannot bear so much gravity, resulting in collapse.
The steeper the mountain, the less likely it is to have a stacking avalanche due to its high slope. On the contrary, the hill where Qingshan Village is located has a low slope, and the continuous heavy snow can easily pile up and press on the mountain, thus causing an avalanche.
If this is true, then people who stay at home are likely to be in danger.
Although people in Qingshan Village see snow every few years, they have never experienced heavy snow that lasts for half a month, and they are even less aware of the dangers of avalanches.
Jiang Jiang could not predict which direction an avalanche would come from if it really happened.
The only thing she could be sure of was that if an avalanche really occurred, the most dangerous moment would be being swept away by the snow rushing down like a river. After the avalanche passed, the danger would be greatly reduced.
Based on this principle, the best solution Jiang Jiang could think of was to move everyone in Qingshan Village to the basement of the charcoal factory.
Even if an avalanche were to pass through the factory, the most they would do would be to be buried by the snow.
After the avalanche is gone, even if the entrance is blocked, they can use torches and the heat from charcoal to melt some of the ice and snow, and there will be no problem burning an exit.
Moreover, ventilation was taken into account when the basement was built, so Jiang Jiang did not have to worry about the air tightness when living in it.
Now, the only problem is how to convince everyone in Qingshan Village and move to the basement quickly.
This kind of thing, the sooner it is done, the better.
Jiang Jiang would rather go through more trouble than wait until the disaster strikes and then regret it, so she immediately put on her clothes and went out fully armed.
The first choice is always Zhang Qiang, because as the branch secretary, he is the most prestigious.
