Chapter 2357 Doomsday Survival Competition 19
On the way to the canteen, Xining felt like she was freezing, even though she had already put on a down jacket.
After Zhang Erniu saw it, he took off his cotton coat and put it on her body.
Although this guy is a bit dull, he still has a good heart. But she wasn't very happy to let the owner marry this guy. Considering the treatment of Zhang Daniu's wife, she might as well let other willing women go to his house and eat on the threshold instead of having a meal at the table.
"Everything is installed on the third floor and above. Hurry..." A few people passed by each other, and not long after they walked past, the heavy snow completely obscured their figures.
I saw Zhang Erniu hunched over, with his hands crossed and inserted into the sleeves of his sweater. She took off her coat and put it back on Zhang Erniu.
"I don't have to, it's not cold." Zhang Erniu was stunned because Zeng Zhaodi hid in his large cotton coat and held his waist with both hands.
His face immediately turned red, his heart raced, and Zhang Erniu, who had been single for twenty years, was confused. He was led away with one foot deep and one foot shallow. When he arrived at the cafeteria, Zeng Zhaodi let him go, but he still didn't know where he was.
But the realistic and calm words made him sober up a lot: "Er Niu, remember, try not to give anything in the future. Mutual benefit can increase the chance of survival."
We didn't hug each other just because of liking and love, but because we could share a cotton coat and maintain the body temperature of both parties.
The atmosphere in the cafeteria is as usual, and the heavy snow outside has not affected the place for the time being. The same is true outside at present. At most, many places are impassable, but this situation will get worse and worse, or even fall off a cliff.
Zhang Erniu was halfway through eating and said in a confused manner: "Thank you for the rice... My bounden duty is to obey. You have to take care of yourself when I am away."
Xining didn't respond, and she didn't say anything like "you're welcome" or "you should". The first thing she wanted to do now was to eat more. This month, she gained about ten pounds.
After Zhang Erniu hesitated, he said: "I called my parents and asked them not to sell the rice, and asked them to take more care of your family."
"They also got the rice, which they bought with your money. I will pay it back later."
Zhang Erniu immediately refused: "No need to pay it back, it doesn't matter. This monthly allowance will be paid soon."
There is really no need to pay it back. One month later, a pack of instant noodles and half a pack of expired bread can be sold for 100 yuan; half a year later, even 5,000 yuan cannot be bought, and no one is even willing to exchange them for gold.
The stove was installed quickly. The boss didn't expect that the pipe stove stored in the warehouse was sold immediately, and he even called to exchange the goods. After all, we now have heating, central air conditioning, and floor heating. This kind of old-fashioned stove is only available in old houses that are 70 or 80 years old. Because the heating pipes are often broken, one is installed for heating. It can also be used to boil water and cook some food. thing.
A round hole was dug into the glass window, a pipe protruded from the hole, and some charcoal and firewood were prepared. I worked until eleven o'clock in the evening and finally installed the stove in all the rooms on the third floor and above in the compound.
On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival holiday has ended. It should be time to return to work, but the whole world is covered with snow, and there is no sign of stopping.
Some citizens have gone to purchase supplies nearby, but most are waiting at home. After all, there are still a lot of things I bought during the New Year that I haven’t finished yet. Some of them bought so much that they had enough meat for about three months.
Xining was in a warm room, wearing only a thin layer of pajamas and watching TV. The heating here is really strong, the thermometer shows 26 or 7 degrees, but these warm days may be coming to an end soon. The temperature outside has dropped to minus ten degrees and will continue to drop tomorrow.
I took out my phone and looked at it. The network was still open. But she has nothing to say anymore. Telling the truth at this time will advance the panic in the future.
Before that, what else can be said? You have to work hard to live. Don't worry about anything when you are hungry. Eat as long as you can. Saving your life is the most important thing... Any words are pale in the face of such a catastrophe.
Finally, I silently turned off my phone without a calling card and continued watching TV. Suddenly an assembly call came from the loudspeaker outside. She stood up, walked to the window and looked out.
In less than five minutes, all the SWAT officers present ran to the playground in front and stood in place. They stood neatly in rows, like rows of green pines in the heavy snow.
Xining roughly counted the number of people. This battalion was a regular establishment, with three companies and four to five hundred people. Because of the Spring Festival holiday, those who returned to their hometowns for the New Year did not come back. Excluding civilian staff, there are currently about 200 people standing on the playground.
In the family building, half of it is usually empty. There are about forty families in total, all of whom are non-commissioned officers and family members with military ranks. Volunteers like Zhang Erniu will not be provided with dormitories for their families. Then the family dormitory alone is enough to accommodate everyone in the compound.
After a while, a dozen trucks with tarpaulins arrived. In addition to loading people, there were seven or eight empty trucks. After everyone got on board, one car after another drove out in a mighty manner.
An emergency announcement came from the TV behind him: "Due to heavy snowfall, which may collapse houses and affect heating in some areas, some citizens will be relocated. Citizens in the following areas are asked to be prepared. Just bring necessary clothing and identification... …”
She walked to the bed and picked up the remote control to change the channel. After switching several times, we stopped at the interview area with the disaster relief commander.
"At present, the number of snowstorm days cannot be determined. With an attitude of being responsible to the people, some cities and regions will relocate their populations, and the resettlement locations will be located in places with abundant food and materials. The address of the resettlement location has been put online and can be found at any time. For example If you encounter difficulties, please seek help nearby. Please spread out as much as possible to avoid overcrowding in the resettlement site..."
Xining curled his lips, good job.
The current grain reserves are enough to feed the whole country for a year. The only difficulty is transporting them out. You must know that with extreme temperatures of minus 60 to 70 degrees, vehicles cannot move, and any exposed skin will be frostbitten immediately. How will the food reserves used as disaster relief food be delivered to the victims?
While the car can still move, simply send people to the reserve granary to save more people.
The scene on the TV changed: "The snow in the north is one meter deep, with the deepest reaching 1.5 meters. Due to the snow, the high-speed rail was suspended. The Ministry of Railways used all K, T, G and other trains to transport grain, oil, quilts, tents and other supplies. The current total is 300,000 tons..."
This kind of normal-speed train, commonly known as the green train, is pulled by a diesel locomotive and has low track requirements. In the past, it was still possible to travel under the cold air of Siberia at minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius.
There was a knock on the door, and Xining went to open the door.
It was the instructor, and there was already noise coming from downstairs.
"The residents downstairs are being moved upstairs. You may also have to..." The instructor was still a little embarrassed.
"Yes, do you want to come in and sit down?"
The instructor thought for a while and walked in.
Xining quickly closed the door. After a long time, the heat inside was about to run out.
Watching the news on TV, there was no one else around at the moment. The instructor said: "We checked with the authorities... How should I put it, the sun has become cooler, causing the earth's temperature to drop."
