Chapter 146: Sudden Drop In Temperature (2)
Early the next morning, the temperature dropped sharply to minus 40 degrees Celsius
overnight. Before the survivors could adapt to the sudden drop in temperature, it fell again to minus 45 degrees Celsius the next day.
On the third day of the sudden temperature drop, the temperature dropped to minus 60 degrees Celsius, breaking the record for the coldest winter in the country's history.
The death toll in the Ling Yuan apartment complex was so high that only thirty percent of residents survived the sudden drop in temperatures, and the aura of death shrouded the community.
When Yao Ran woke up this morning, her whole body was shivering from the cold.
She quickly took out two more electric heaters from the space and turned them on. With four electric heaters working at the same time, the temperature in her bedroom could only reach minus 32 degrees Celsius.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
From the first day, when the temperature dropped sharply, Yao Ran ate inside her space. However, she knew she couldn't hide forever in the space and needed to adapt to the extreme weather. Therefore, every time she entered her space, she only stayed for a while to take a bath and eat.
After leaving the space, Yao Ran opened the curtains and found that the heavy snow had turned into moderate snow.
Everything is covered with snow as far as the eye can see.
It snowed heavily starting on the second day of the extreme cold. On the ninth day, the snow outside reached the height of the ceiling on the 17th floor, but the people living on the 17th floor did not move up.
To keep warm, they burned firewood and coal in one of the apartments, hugged each other for warmth, and ate every two days to save food.
After packing the clothes and equipment into two large plastic bags, Yao Ran left her apartment dragging the bags. She only waited for two minutes before Long Yu came out of unit 2001.
Long Yu took the two heavy plastic bags from her hands and said, "The ground was covered by frost and very slippery. Be careful when you walk."
Yao Ran nodded, and the two slowly went down the stairs. She held on to the frost on the railing and walked down step by step.
The initially wide staircase, which could accommodate four people, is now covered in frost and can only accommodate two people walking side by side.
Seeing her struggle, Long Yu turned around and said, "Hold onto me."
Yao Ran grabbed the railing, but it was useless because the frost made her glove stuck to it and froze her hands. After thinking about it, she approached Long Yu, grabbed his arm, and held it tightly.
Long Yu waited until her body stabilized before slowly walking down while keeping his eyes
on Yao Ran.
While leading the way, Long Yu kept his attention on Yao Ran to ensure that she would not fall. It would be dangerous if she slipped and fell down the stairs.
After arriving at the 19th floor, the two of them made their way to unit 1902. After the family living in unit 1903 passed away, only the Quan family and the Sima family were living on the
19th floor.
They waited for a while before Quan Yuanwei opened the door. He was a little surprised to see the two of them there and said, "Come in quickly. It's so cold outside."
Long Yu handed him the smaller plastic bag and said, "No need. We are just here to deliver some winter clothes."
