Chapter 97 - heavy snow

After a severe cold, most places in the entire northern hemisphere were tightly covered by white snow.

Because of this heavy snowfall, many people who were still struggling in the last days froze to death. Because of the heavy snowfall, many long-distance communication equipment that could be used before were all faulty and damaged, and even many roadside power grids were crushed. Because of the heavy snowfall, those ferocious and terrifying zombies chasing after the human butts, wanting to eat a bite of flesh, were all half buried in the snow.

Fortunately, the snow was heavier in some places, and smaller in some places. For example, in T City where Wei Xuan lived and some surrounding cities, although the snow was not heavy, it still made people barely go out for a walk.

Wei Xuan stayed at home for three full days. During these three days, he would go downstairs to feed Du’s father snowflakes every day, bring a bucket of ice back to the house on the sixth floor to warm up, and replace the battery that had run out of power. Apart from being full, they have never moved the place, not even the house where the male and female zombies live across the intersection.

After three days passed, the dark clouds in the sky cleared up, and the bright and dazzling sun shone through the sky, Wei Xuan, who was looking at the surrounding buildings on the top floor, couldn’t help but sigh with emotion: “I didn’t expect this snow to fall so much. It’s so big…”

In the previous life, what did the first snow after the end of the world look like? Wei Xuan actually couldn’t remember clearly. After all, after winter, even he is unwilling to leave the base, and try to live in the base with ordinary people to keep warm and live together. Otherwise, once he encounters such a heavy snow day, even if he has strange abilities, he can only guard against being attacked by zombies, but he cannot resist the severe cold.

In the base, although it is also snowing, because there are people living in the base and there are a lot of people, once some snow falls, it will be cleaned up by the management personnel in the base soon, especially if the snow is still falling. It can supplement the water problem, and naturally it will not form large-scale snow accumulation.

But it’s different in the city at this time. Just look at the eye-catching, pure white picture. After the entire ruined city is completely covered by this white “quilt”, it makes the world There is a poetic and picturesque sense of sight.

“Let’s prepare to remove some snow.” Wei Xuan first looked at the beautiful scenery of heavy snow that he had seen many times in three days, and then made up his mind to prepare for work.

To be honest, although the life at home is very good and very relaxed, but after watching TV and movies for three days, playing games and reading novels, he always feels something is wrong after a long time.

Although in this life he is not as busy as he was in his previous life, he still tries his best to find various things in his own life, otherwise there will always be a feeling of unreliability.

So after discovering that the snow outside was very thick at this time, he was ready to find something else for himself to do.

The snow outside was very thick, and Wei Xuan didn’t want people who might pass by the neighborhood to find out that there were people in the neighborhood, so he definitely couldn’t clean up all the snow. However, if the snow on the roof is too much and too thick, it will cause pressure on the house itself, and problems may occur after a long time.

Under the circumstances that cleaning up is neither good nor not cleaning up, Wei Xuan used his brains, and finally found the most reasonable way he could think of so far after a good night’s sleep.

Bringing some containers—the plastic buckets used to collect rainwater and snow at ordinary times, and finding the big brooms, small shovels and other things collected from the hardware store before—Wei Xuan and Du Hang climbed up to the roof of this building together.

The snowfall this time was not small, although it was not the biggest snow disaster that Wei Xuan had experienced in his previous life, but it had accumulated more than a foot thick. If such thick snow has been piled up on the roof, wait for the next, next heavy snow to fall… Even if the building is explained for a long time, it will not be able to bear this pressure.

And even if there is nothing wrong in the first year, and nothing in the second year…But once thirty or fifty years pass, the old houses in these urban areas will be disintegrated and destroyed sooner or later because of the harsh natural environment.

Wei Xuan couldn’t care about the future after such a long time, all he can do now is to slowly clean up the impact of each snow after each snow, and make at least the place where he lives as comfortable and safe as possible. Some.

So when he came up this time, although he wanted to take some of the snow home and melt it for use, he didn’t intend to clean the roof, but only took the top layer.

A foot of snow, I took seven or eight parts from it, and the rest is still white? If something flies from above, at a glance, it will be a pure white area without the slightest attention!

In fact, it’s not just Wei Xuan, but for survivors like him who live in the city, if it’s not for the large scale of the base where they are not afraid of being discovered, other small bases, or even houses with only a few people, if possible It’s better to handle the snow as carefully as he does, without attracting others’ attention.

Otherwise, God knows it will be a friendly cooperation when the time comes? Or malicious plunder and killing?

It took more than a week for Wei Xuan to deal with the heavy snow accumulated in three days. There’s no way, it’s not that he doesn’t want to hurry up, but…these are all snow! Snow is not rain! If you want to process snow into something usable and drinkable, you always melt the snow into water first, and then use a filter to process it, right? But if you want to melt the snow, you can only use heating to deal with it when it is still severe cold.

However, in the last days, where did so many heating means get wasted indiscriminately? Two vegetable planters in Wei Xuan’s house, a stack of refrigerators and freezers, induction cookers and electric heaters for daily use, and even game consoles, computers and TVs… which one does not need electricity?

What’s more, he has to make plans for not being able to collect and raise his eyes when it is cloudy, and not to use electricity too arrogantly.

All in all, more than a week has passed, and the neighborhood where Wei Xuan lives is still covered with white snow; half a month has passed, and the neighborhood where he lives is still like this, even at the end of December, because there have been two snowfalls in a month, Not only did the snow on the roof of his house not decrease much, but it tended to accumulate more and more, which made him finally give up his choice and decide to quit!

At this time, Wei Xuan was faced with another difficult choice, which was—”Should I go or not?”

In this world of ice and snow, Wei Xuan didn’t even have the interest to leave his own building to get things from the next building, or go to the zombie’s house to put his neighbors. Letting him go on a long journey at this time is no less than asking for half of his life. Life.

And the place he wanted to go, the place he had already prepared to go to, was not too far away, but if he left before winter, he would have to walk for nearly one night to get there. At this moment, let him leave the warm nest, stepping on the thick snow to go around the cold meeting place… He is really not happy.

What Wei Xuan is struggling with right now is the place where he went to at the end of last month and took back a pile of diaries, and the agreed meeting place with those two lunatics.

At this time, he was struggling with this matter. After all, he had left a message there, saying that he would try his best to go there again at the end of this month to exchange messages with them or something. And although the current road conditions are very difficult to walk, the weather can still be regarded as sunny and sunny, except for the thick snow all over the street, there is almost no other influence. The two guys really have something to ask for themselves… It’s embarrassing for me to break the appointment.

“Hey, let’s take a walk.” Wei Xuan, who is really a good person in essence, struggled again and again, and decided to take Du Hang out together. Fortunately, he found a lot of warm stickers and other things when he was wandering around in some large and small stores before, even if he went out in severe cold weather, he was still guaranteed.

“Report! The special mission team of the 54th base is here to report!” A man dressed in a heavy military padded jacket, almost wrapped up like a ball, stood in the heavy snow and saluted and reported to the group in front of him.

Not far behind that person, there were soldiers who had just disembarked from military trucks, tactical command vehicles, and military armored vehicles. At this time, they were also lined up in a neat line, standing upright in the vast expanse of snow.

The person who welcomed them also returned a military salute to the captain, nodded and said: “Comrades have worked hard!” After saying that, he turned to a soldier beside him and said, “Take these comrades to the camp to rest and wait for the unified training tomorrow morning.”

The slogan sounded, and the person who came out to greet him turned around and led the team to the direction of the city wall not far away. After entering the city, he got into the car and went straight to a certain direction.

“Another team is coming!”

“Really! There must be at least three to five hundred people here? How many people are here including those who came before?”

“What are these soldiers here for? If they came to our base, why would they all live in the newly built base outside? The walls over there are not as thick as our base.”

“who knows.”

“Hey? You said, could it be that the base wants to organize people to fight into the city to regain the lost ground?”

“It’s possible! It’s possible!”

“Then the number of people is a little less, right? The teams that have come so far, plus the original soldiers in our base, will be a few thousand people at most? What is this number enough for? The zombies in the city That would cost at least several million dollars!”

“Do you know about modern warfare? We all have guns and cannons in our hands!”

“Cut, how much is that? How much ammunition is left?”

…

A group of idlers are unwilling to leave the base in the winter, squatting on the side of the street to pass the time, while secretly looking around, trying to find the fat sheep that has been pulled into the small alley to rob, and gossip about the latest news in the base by the way.
