Survival from natural disasters: I became rich by doing bad things

Chapter 63 Extreme Cold Arrives
The temperature during the day was still normal, but at night the temperature dropped again.

Lin Jiujiu took a special test and found that it was three to four degrees above zero at noon, and dropped to twenty degrees below zero at night.

Heavy snow fell overwhelmingly as the temperature dropped.

This is not a good sign.

Lin Jiujiu originally planned to go out, but saw the snow and gave up the idea.

"Hopefully my clients can make it through this winter."

It was snowing heavily outside, but it was very warm inside the supermarket. Lin huddled in the bed for a long time and fell asleep soon.

Just when everyone was unprepared, the extreme cold had quietly arrived.

It has been snowing heavily for three days in a row. The snow in front of the supermarket has piled up to the height of a person. If Luo Ran and Li Rui hadn't taken turns cleaning it up, the supermarket would have been submerged in the snow in a few days.

Li Chuan's side was not much better. Everyone moved from the first floor to the third floor, but there were still cases of people freezing to death in their sleep.

"Store manager, can this person... be saved?"

Lin Jiujiu looked at the man in front of him who was covered in bruises from the cold even though he was wearing cotton clothes, and shook his head, "He has stopped breathing a long time ago."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts froze.

This is the second person to die. If it continues, it will definitely cause panic.

As soon as he came out, Lin Jiujiu felt that the temperature on his body was passing quickly. He took out the clothes he had prepared in advance, put them on shivering, and then said: "I just took a test, although it is better than the outside temperature." , but it’s minus ten degrees here, so there are still too few stoves.”

Lu Jiayu rubbed his hands and feet, which were already stiff from the cold, and said, "We can't go too far, because there are so many people. If we put too many stoves in, something might happen."

Looking at the people huddled around him, Lin Jiujiu sighed, "Well, I can rent you Little Sun until we get through this winter first."

It's only the beginning of July, and there's still half a year to go.

Before the blizzard came, Li Chuan shipped a generator back from the factory. Although the parts were a little rusty, it was still enough to maintain one level of power.

A row of small suns were installed on the ground around the window to shine. The people in the room wearing thick cotton clothes finally took a long breath and calmed down.

Lin Jiujiu took the temperature again, and it was five degrees above zero.

Lu Jiayu and Li Chuan discussed it and decided to add a few more stoves, ordered some smokeless coal, and increased the burning intensity. The temperature finally stabilized at around ten degrees.

As long as the temperature doesn't continue to drop, they should be able to hold on.

Of course, all the prerequisites are that they can pay the fees. Even if the rent offered by Lin Jiujiu is already the cheapest, it is still a big expense for them at this moment.

Li Rui asked worriedly, "Store manager, do you think they can hold on?"

As soon as he walked out of the base, Lin Jiujiu was so cold that he shivered.

Even though she was fully armed, she still felt like the cold air she breathed into her lungs was like a knife, instantly twisting her internal organs into a ball.

Lin Jiujiu smiled bitterly, "Who knows, but what is certain is that the supermarket business will be very poor this winter."

Several people were fully armed, with only a pair of eyes exposed, and even their voices were muffled.

The snow fell even harder, and the snowflakes were like cotton. Just a few hours after they came out, the door was covered with snow. Luo Ran and Li Rui could only pick up the shovel to clean the aisle again.

"Store manager, please go back first, as long as Luo Ran and I are here."

Seeing Lin Jiujiu's face turning pale, Li Rui quickly opened his mouth to chase him away.

Luo Ran glanced at Lin Jiujiu and said in response, "Let's go back first. The two of us can complete this work."

Lin Jiujiu nodded and entered the supermarket to relax for a while before her stiff body relaxed. However, she also discovered a more serious problem at this time, that is, even the temperature in the supermarket began to drop.

The air conditioner was obviously no longer able to provide warmth. After thinking about it, I had to follow Li Chuan's example and add a stove to the hall on the first and second floors, and then added two additional small suns in each room.The fire in the stove started to get hot, and Lin Jiujiu knocked on the window, signaling the two of them to come back and keep warm.

"It's too cold." This was what Li Rui said the most today. His teeth began to chatter uncontrollably as he spoke.

The three people sat across from each other, no one said anything, and after being roasted for a while, everyone finally calmed down.

Lin looked out the window for a long time and saw a vast expanse of white. From this position, he could even clearly hear the whistling northwest wind.

It looks like there won't be any new customers coming for the time being.

Lin Jiujiu decided to rest for two days and told Li Rui and Luo Ran to pay attention to the temperature at all times.

"Don't worry, leave it to us."

Li Rui promised that the temperature would be maintained at fifteen degrees.

"Giggle~"

After the extreme cold came, Fat Tiger was in a very bad state. He even had a fever in the morning. He seemed to have heard his master coming back and screamed feebly.

"Go to sleep. I'll take you out to play when the weather gets better."

Lin Jiujiu put on his clothes and huddled under the quilt, then took a hot water bottle and placed it next to Fat Tiger to keep warm. He reached out and touched the rabbit's head.

Fat Tiger rubbed her hand, seeming very uncomfortable, and closed his eyes again after a while.

After staring at Fat Hu for a while, and confirming that he no longer had a fever and his body temperature was normal, Lin Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief.

That is, when Lin was resting for a long time, a white shadow suddenly flashed across the surveillance camera.

At the same time as the white shadow flashed past, the wind chime outside the supermarket door was blown.

bell--

Luo Ran heard the noise and quickly got up to check. Looking at the empty door, the doubts in his eyes became more intense.

"It's strange, why does this wind chime ring by itself?"

You must know that this wind chime usually only affects people when they come.

"Maybe it was blown by the wind. The wind outside is really strong."

Hearing Li Rui's voice, Luo Ran frowned and nodded, "I hope I'm overly concerned."

In the afternoon, the wind and snow outside still continued. Looking at a month ago, I would never have imagined that it would snow so much in June and July.

"Dangdang!"

Just when Lin Jiujiu was nestling under the quilt and planning to catch up on the drama, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the door.

The fat tiger in his arms was so startled that he suddenly opened his eyes, "Keji?"

"What's going on outside?"

I glanced at the surveillance cameras and found that everything was normal on the first and second floors, which meant that the problem was on the third floor.

Lin Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and pushed the door open to go out to check.

There was nothing wrong with the restaurant. Just as she was about to turn around, she heard another voice, coming from the utility room next to her.

Lin Jiujiu suddenly came to his senses, and then he remembered that the pet egg he exchanged from Zhang Wei was still inside.

"Oops!"
