Doomsday magician

Chapter 156
Fortunately, the fourteen bungalows that have been built are enough for everyone to live in, and there are still a few vacant ones.This was reserved when making plans at the time, but the number of people gathered was not as many as they had expected.

"It's cooling down!"

"I've added clothes!"

The survivors yelled loudly while watching the weather outside.The tents that were still set up in the courtyard of the villa were also untied, and all were moved into the bungalows.Although most of the bungalows are still not completely dry, and there is still a strong smell of mud and dampness inside, but compared with the temperature outside, everyone would rather live here.

The cold raindrops are always small, but very dense, weaving into thin rain curtains between the sky and the earth.

The soldiers guarding outside also had to wrap up thick clothes and put on raincoats.Those who couldn't borrow raincoats had to hold large hats on top of their heads, which looked a little funny.

At night, the temperature became lower and lower, and finally snowflakes began to fall outside.

"Snowing."

The many survivors in the convoy were in an uproar. This was the first snow since the end of the world.

Watching the large snowflakes falling from the sky, many people have mixed feelings.In contrast, the women in the motorcade thought relatively innocently.Especially Zhang Yu'er, she is actually not very old.Seeing the beauty of the snow, the girl leaned on the window looking excitedly, with surprise in her eyes.

Seeing her appearance, Xu Bai couldn't help feeling a little pity in his heart.

Although this girl is very strong, Xu Bai can clearly see a little loneliness from her back.Sometimes, the position of friends and relatives cannot be replaced by a single husband.Before the end of the world, a beautiful girl like her must be doing well, and many people are paying attention.

After sighing, Xu Bai hugged her from behind, making the somewhat cold Zhang Yu'er feel warm.

"Thank you."

Zhang Yu'er approached his arms, and at the same time put some cold hands into his pockets.Xu Bai watched the snow scene with her quietly for a while, and then he picked her up violently.

On the first snowy night, Xu Bai decisively took a private room to himself, and then spent a wonderful night with this girl.

As the captain of the team, there are always some privileges.

When he woke up the next morning, Xu Bai woke up from the cold.Although he held the girl's tender and tender body in his arms, the not too thick quilt really couldn't give him warmth.When he shivered and got up to put on his clothes, Xu Bai realized that the thermometer placed in the corner of the room had dropped to five degrees.

Outside the window, the snow is still falling, and it seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

Looking around, the barren hills in the distance were completely covered with a layer of plain white, and became much more beautiful.Under the dark sky, this white and quiet world is like a fairy tale.From time to time, there is a cold wind whistling and blowing, rolling up pieces of snowflakes.

It was so cold inside the villa, one could imagine the temperature outside.

its not right.

Xu Bai knew that there was an air conditioner in the villa, and at the current temperature, it was obvious that the air conditioner did not work automatically.Although after he got up, the fire element in his body accelerated to drive away the coolness, but the others did not have supernatural powers.In such weather, I am afraid that many people will be frozen.

After turning around and helping Zhang Yu'er tuck in the quilt who was still sound asleep, Xu Bai found a coat to cover it, and then hurried out to find the leopard who had already woken up.

Because of his strong body, he didn't change much in what he was wearing, except for a symbolic addition of thermal underwear.

At this moment, the man was staring at the weather outside in a daze.

Xu Bai deliberately stepped harder, and then coughed to bring him back to his senses.Seeing Xu Bai walking towards him, Leopard quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Good morning, Captain."

"morning."

Xu Bai had something on his mind, so he just dealt with it casually, and then asked, "Why isn't the air conditioner in the villa turned on?"

Leopard spread his hands helplessly, and said: "I want to drive it too, but the problem is that there is no electricity. The sky has been so cloudy that solar photovoltaic power generation can hardly work, and the barely stored power can barely maintain lighting at night. In the early morning We turned on the air conditioner for a while, but it only took an hour to consume all the stored electricity. If we turn it on again, the villa will not even have electricity to turn on the lights tonight."

"cloudy day!"

Xu Bai was shocked, and only then realized that he had taken it for granted.After two days of haze, plus a day of rain and snow, the villa's solar energy must not work normally, and the power stored in the usual days is simply not enough to support high-power consumption.

"Then, what should we do in this weather? The heavy snow doesn't mean to stop at all."

Leopard smiled wryly, and said, "I'm also worried about this. Our villa is fine, and the problem of temperature isolation has been considered in the design. Therefore, even if there is no air-conditioning system, the temperature is still acceptable. Those newly built bungalows outside It's even worse, it was cold and wet, and now it's snowing..."

"Go out and have a look."

Xu Bai looked outside worriedly, then turned and walked out of the villa.

As soon as he opened the door of the villa, the cool whizzing wind rolled snowflakes down his neck.Even with the element of fire, Xu Bai could still feel the coolness.The temperature outside must be below zero now. As for the exact amount, I will find out with a thermometer later.

"It has already accumulated ten centimeters of snow."

The leopard looked at the snow that had been trampled down to the ankles, and suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help being shocked: "It's broken, our three plastic greenhouses."

The weather is so cold, the plastic is already brittle, and if it is pressed by such a thick snow, if it is not cleaned up in time, I am afraid that the hard-working greenhouse will soon be ruined. At that time, so many vegetables planted will be easily destroyed. The wind and snow were freezing.

"Call someone, snow removal!"

Xu Bai only hesitated for a moment, and then quickly issued an order.

Several combatants following him agreed, and quickly went down to call for help.In such bad weather, it is almost impossible for someone to take the opportunity to attack from the bottom of the mountain.But Xu Bai and the others' enemies were probably zombies, and no one dared to take them lightly.Therefore, even on such a day, the fighters at the villa's garrison did not relax their vigilance.Of course, the compensation given to them by the team is also generous, which gives them the urge to work willingly when they complain.

"If you're already up and want to eat vegetables, get up quickly and clear the snow from the vegetable shed!"

When I first shouted, many slackers really didn't want to come out in such weather.However, after some talented person first raised the issue of eating vegetables, many survivors immediately became more active.

Soon, there were more than 20 busy figures outside the snowy villa.

Some people were sweeping down with brooms in their hands, while others put sticks on top and gently pushed to one side.After working for a long time, they cleaned up the thick snow on the vegetable shed.Although a little cold and a little tired, they were still in a good mood seeing the vibrant green.

After making sure that the vegetable shed was safe, Xu Bai heaved a sigh of relief.He thought for a while, and walked into an empty bungalow with Leopard.

Because there are no door panels and windows, the gate is simply covered with a thick blanket.After entering, it was dark inside, and it took a long time to get used to it.As for the temperature, it was only slightly better than outside.Even so, Xu Bai still noticed that a thin layer of ice had formed on a water-stained place on the ground.

However, if we put up a tent in the bungalow, we can barely live there.The temperature can be kept roughly above zero, and the most important thing is that there is no wind.

After walking around, Xu Bai felt a little heavy.

He found that the team seems to need to do a lot of preparation.But these things seem to have thousands of clues, but for a while, I don't know where to start.

At this time, Zhang Yu'er had already woken up, and she warmed a bottle of eight-treasure porridge for Xu Bai extravagantly with the hot water poured yesterday.

Xu Bai thanked him, and while drinking porridge under the envy of the leopard, he continued to think about how to deal with the untimely heavy snow.

It seems that the snow will not stop for a while, and the temperature will continue to drop.No matter what you do, prepare around this.

After thinking of this, Xu Bai suddenly felt much clearer.Soon, he had an idea in his mind.

"Leopard, count the number of quilts and winter clothes in the convoy. Who has more, see if you can even it out, make sure everyone has a winter coat, and each family can cover two quilts."

This is the first order, and the most critical point, that is, keeping warm.At this moment, Xu Bai found that the large amount of winter supplies he had prepared to prevent nuclear winter came in handy.Although he didn't know whether the current weather was affected by the nuclear war, it basically didn't snow here in previous years, and the temperature was definitely not so low.

However, Xu Bai knew that few other survivors were as thoughtful as him.Most people just think about avoiding zombies and watching every step. Who would think of preparing for winter in advance?Therefore, most of these winter clothes must be bought by him.

Leopard agreed to come down, and soon ordered to go down.

Xu Bai nodded, and then said: "Because the snow isn't big enough, ask someone to cut down all the trees near the villa. If the temperature continues to drop, chop them down and burn them for warmth."

This approach is actually a helpless move.

The entire Gushan Mountain is almost completely bare and barren.Only around the mountain where the villa is located, there are still a few forests, which are the only green left in these hundreds of kilometers.It would be too wasteful to just use them as firewood.But no one knows when the snow will stop, so it's better to be prepared.

If there are no people, what is the use of trees?

If that wasn't enough, Xu Bai was even ready to use the fuel.

After giving these two instructions, Xu Bai felt a little relieved.He thought about it, and found that there was nothing else to do for a while, so he could only go back to the villa and stay there.What he hopes most now is for the snow to stop as soon as possible, which is also the voice of the vast majority of survivors of the cold.

It's a pity that God often fails to fulfill people's wishes.
