Traveling through the new apocalyptic era

The snow stopped at around ten o'clock in the morning, and the radio in the village rang for the first time in a long time.

"Dear villagers, the snowy roads are slippery, please pay attention to safety when traveling. We are now recruiting volunteers under the age of 50 to clean the roads in the village. You can first clear the snow at home, and then clear the snow on the roads at your door. The snow on the roads has not been cleared. Don’t go out before it’s over!”

The loudspeaker kept shouting. Yin Ling lay in front of the second floor window and listened carefully. This was not what the old village chief was shouting, but what the college student who came to the village a year ago was shouting. He spoke fluent Mandarin and it was not like this. The baby on the side.

In the past few years, there have been quite a few college students who have failed to pass the exams and have been transferred. There is one in my village and the village next door.

Yin Ling wiped her sweat and changed into dry underwear before going out to help clear the snow.

With a creak, the door was opened by Yin Ling with great effort. The snow outside had blocked the door. If it weren't for Yin Ling's strength, grandma would not be able to get out in a short time if the snow didn't melt.

Slowly pushing the door open, Yin Ling looked at the gap and squeezed out. Then he took a shovel and started to clear the snow at the door, piling it all into the vegetable field. Anyway, all the vegetables in the vegetable field had been pulled out when the temperature cooled down. .

The door of Granny Liu's house next door has not been opened yet. It is blocked by thick snow. It is estimated that the two old people inside cannot open it.The neighbor's yard opposite was at the back, so there wasn't much movement in front of the door. They were probably clearing the snow in the yard.

When the shovel went down, there was neat white snow on the shovel. When he raised his arm, the snow was thrown into the vegetable garden. After repeating it for more than ten times, Yin Ling began to feel hot again.

Kinetic energy is converted into heat energy, so you will no longer be afraid of the cold this winter!
Ten minutes later, Yin Ling cleared a vehicle-wide path to the main road. Standing on the roadside, he saw that everything on the side was covered with snow, and there was not even a human figure. It has been cold recently, and all the domestic dogs in the village were also covered in snow. Much quieter.

Yin Ling first cleared a path for one person to walk along the roadside. She piled the snow next to the roots of the trees on the roadside.

She opened a not-so-straight [-]-centimetre-wide road to the door of Granny Liu's house next door.

Knocked on the door, "Granny Liu, this is Lingling, are you okay?"

The door was an iron door and the sound was very loud. Someone quickly responded inside. In fact, Yin Ling had already heard the sound of shoveling snow inside at the door.

"Hey, it's Lingling. It's snowing so heavily. Why are you here?"

"I'm here to clean up the snow at your door. I'm afraid you won't be able to open the door. Our door is forced open because the snow is so thick."

"Hey, that's not true! After listening to the radio, I wanted to open the door and go out to take a look, but the door couldn't be opened."

Granny Liu's voice was clearly heard outside through the crack in the door. Yin Ling responded and began to help clear the snow at the door.

Soon, the door was opened by Yin Ling from the outside, and half of the yard was cleared.

"Do you need my help cleaning up the yard?"

"No, no, you're exhausted. Come in and have a cup of hot water."

Yin Ling quickly refused and said that the intersection needed to be cleared and left, leaving a row of cleared paths so that Granny Liu and the others could go out.

Back home, Yin Ling changed into another set of autumn clothes and long trousers in the air-conditioned room and threw them into the washing machine together with the ones she changed before. Fortunately, she bought a drying and washing machine, so she didn't have to worry about being out of the sun to dry the clothes. Quit.

The news in the group has not stopped. After Yin Ling came back and changed his mobile phone, there are now only two family groups, a high school group and a supermarket group in the village. The work group all left when he resigned, and the rest are a mess. She has withdrawn from shopping groups and tourist groups.At this time, the family group was very lively, everyone was talking about the snow in their respective cities. The most shocking thing is that the southern city where Yin Ling's parents live has a temperature of 25 degrees all year round. Now in October, there are actually snowflakes, which are very small. The light snow, like dandruff, melts when it hits the ground, but that doesn't stop it from snowing.

The hot searches on Weibo are basically about snow. Various beautiful snow scenes are mixed with topics about rescue and disaster relief, and there are also posts about various crops freezing to death. The beauty and cruelty of nature are revealed for the first time.

"The weather this year is extremely abnormal, so everyone should stock up on things at home." Yin Ling reminded everyone in the group.

"The snow has stopped today, and there are workers clearing the snow on the road. A neighbor fell and broke his leg when he went out. He still has a lot of stuff at home. He should wait two days before going out."

My brother-in-law runs a small restaurant in the community, so there should be plenty of food at home. It shouldn't be a problem to stay at home for a week. There is no need to worry about the two children staying at school.

"I'm in the factory! I'm stuck in the factory. The snow is too heavy and I can't go back. Fortunately, the factory provides food and I live in the workers' dormitory. I think I can go home tomorrow once the road is open."

My uncle and aunt have both worked in the factory for more than ten years. They are like their own family, so they should be quite comfortable.

"Just take care of your grandma at home. Don't worry about other people. Now if you fall, touch, or freeze when you go out to buy something, you are responsible for it!"

When Yin Ling heard this loud voice, she knew it was her mother. She rolled her eyes silently and left the group chat without bothering to respond. Anyway, her mother had a reason to say anything about her.

"With the recent heavy snowfall, everyone is paying attention to keeping warm from the cold. We need to buy more thick clothes. It is inconvenient to go out. We also need to buy more things at home. If it snows for a few more days, schools will be on winter vacation."

This is a message Lao Ban sent in the group early in the morning. It seems that he should have sent it early in the morning during self-study.

Everyone in the underground echoed this, and some classmates posted photos of walking in the snow carrying a bag of stuff. Many of them did not go to the company. They did the work that could be done at home. There was nothing they could do if they couldn't be done at home. They could only take a leave of absence. Retired.

Although the radio in the village has been blaring, no one has cleaned the roads. There are only a few people in the village and they are all old, so it is impossible for a few village cadres to clean up the roads.

The air conditioner was turned on all night. On the morning of the third day, when Yin Ling opened the door, the snow piled at the door spilled in. The snow piled up to her calves again overnight.

Grandma followed behind and looked out the door anxiously when she saw this. The snow in the yard seemed to have not been cleared yesterday.

"What's wrong with this? It's snowing so heavily, look at it's still falling!"

Yin Ling nodded, "Grandma, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful this year."

The day's plan was to clear the snow, and Yin Ling started another busy day.

Sweep the snow from the yard, have breakfast, exercise, and sweep the snow from the front door.

The snow in the vegetable field had already piled up to her waist. Thinking that no one would go out due to such heavy snow, she did not go next door to help clear the snow at the door.

At noon, the snow stopped and the sun came out, but the temperature dropped instead of rising, and the sunlight hit the snow-white ground with cold air.

Yin Ling checked her phone and it showed -[-] degrees below zero. As soon as she stopped sweeping the snow, she felt a chill hit her face and hurried back to the house.
