Chapter 381: Success
When the people who rose looked at the gentle slopes that exposed the walls, the amazement in their hearts was as bitter as the cold air.
As the last barrier of the base, the wall surrounding the base is naturally not short. When people look up at it, they even have to hold their heads down, otherwise the hat will fall off.
Some people don't believe that the snow outside is really so thick. So the top management of the base organized people to wade through waist-deep snow to the gate of the base. The moment they opened the door, snow fell from outside.
Fortunately, the snow in the base is not that thick. Otherwise, even if they didn't freeze to death, they would have been buried alive in the snow.
…… yes, why?
People who realized it later finally began to look for the cause.
Did the higher-ups of the base do it? They can hand out quilts, provide charcoal fires, sound the alarm at the turning point when the temperature is just past the high, about to dive down (although they don't actually do that), but let the cold of death raise the hand of the base alone?
Soon, people realized that it wasn't just the difference in snow thickness.
The temperature was minus 40 degrees Celsius, measured at a weather station at the edge of the base. The parts that test the temperature are stretched out of the base. Later, people measured at the base and found that the temperature was only minus 20 degrees.
Well, "minus twenty degrees" can also be called "only", which was a very hilarious thing twenty-four hours ago.
Not only in central areas such as Area A and Area B, even if the temperature is measured against the wall, it is still only minus 20. But just go over the wall, even if it's just a guard post standing at the top of the wall, and stretch your hand out. The temperature will plummet to minus 40 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference like a knife cut even caused the fence to be slightly deformed.
This is absolutely not normal.
People began to show their powers, and they tried their best to find out what was going on.
It's not that I want to be grateful, but what if one day, the temperature in the base suddenly drops to minus 40 degrees, or worse, and it reaches minus 60 degrees in one breath, and the temperature difference between the two days is also made up?
The top management of the base wanted to take the credit for it, but unfortunately, they couldn't give a reasonable explanation. Even more zealous than the ordinary people at the base are looking for people behind the scenes.
Mr. Wu's name. And so it goes.
Of course. Fang Ru did some publicity. She has never been the kind of person who does good deeds without leaving a name. But in all fairness, this time her propaganda work was very inadequate. The extra piece of content in Fang Hua's notes made Fang Ru understand the trick, but it also tired her into a dead dog. After making sure that the potion worked, she slept hard for three days. Wait for her to wake up. Mr. Wu's reputation frightened her.
After finding out the situation with my cousin. She called Li Si to thank you.
Li Si saw that it was her number. Hung up immediately. After a while, Chu Ci secretly called Fang Ru behind Li Si's back, and after saying a few words, he rolled away to make up for sleep. No matter how warm it is in the base, it will go from more than 30 to 20 below. It was not one or two families that were affected. The Adepts are busy with disaster relief.
Another few days have passed. People gradually adapted to the sudden cold, and the days gradually returned to normal. But Fang Ru's life is developing in the opposite direction. The first thing she did when she woke up was to hire a team of Adepts to protect her from harassment on the outskirts of her neighborhood. That's why she was able to enjoy a few days of peace.
However, the high-level management of the base recruited manpower to clear the snow outside the base, and Fang Ru's contract with the Adeptus team had to be terminated early. So there was an endless stream of people who came to visit Mr. Wu. Some come to woo, some come to flatter, and some simply come to express gratitude. The pot happily hid in the pot's body, watching Fang Ru rush to the send-off.
Later, Fang Ru couldn't stand it anymore, so she simply ran to her cousin's house and hid. When the pot found out that she was gone, he had to stare at the doorbell that kept ringing.
My cousin's house is quite warm. Most of the families who had been warned by Fang Ru had already distributed the hoarded materials to their respective dependent families. As a member of the base system, my cousin is treated well.
"The Shen family has been very active recently, trying to slander you by all means."
Drinking hot chocolate, Feng Mao said to Fang Ru. “…… Why, is it okay to give a reaction? How can you not be surprised at all. ”
"What is there to be surprised about."
Fang Ru shrugged and buried her head in the hot chocolate. "Isn't it just that I didn't remind them to cool down, and I didn't stop them when they came to me to sell winter supplies, and I was held responsible for the dead."
"yes. This time, the Shen family suffered huge losses. ”
Feng Mao sighed. "The number of dead and wounded at the base yesterday has exceeded 13,000. A quarter of them are from the Shen family's camp. It is said that someone emptied the house and gave it all to the Shen family, leaving only a towel quilt. When I encountered a cold snap, I didn't even have time to call for help. The Shen family themselves are living quite nourishingly. ”
Hearing his cousin sneering, Fang Ru raised his head: "Didn't the Shen family say that after selling the winter materials, they would return the materials to the civilians who were attached to them?" What, write a blank check? ”
Feng Mao's expression gave Fang Ru an answer.
Perhaps the last wisp of their dreams before they froze to death was still fantasizing about getting the promised crystal nuclei and materials from the Shen family.
"The Shen family is finished." Feng Mao sighed. The civilians who were attached to the Shen family were almost gone. Those who survived by luck will no longer believe in the Shen family and attach themselves to the Shen family.
Fang Ru bowed his head. The piping hot chocolate reflected her calm face. "Not necessarily. The world is as black as a crow. ”
"You are so young, why are you so pessimistic."
The second aunt came out of the kitchen with the food, followed by the little tail of Tongtong. "Dinner. It's not delicious when it's cold. ”
The large piece of meat was shiny, Fang Ru's index finger moved, and he immediately threw himself into the battle. After a while, a mountain of bones rose in front of her and Kiritsu.
Feng Mao saw the stitches and pinched the meat for his mother.
"Don't give it to me. There are still in the pot. "The second aunt is happy, "I stewed a whole deer leg today." Enough to eat. ”
Meat from Fang Ru's mouth. Ba fell out.
"Auntie, where did you get so much meat?"
Because of my cousin's work, the life of the second aunt's family has always been good, but deer? Where did the deer come from?
"Isn't it snowing heavily? The animals in the mountains froze to death. The second aunt explained, "Most of the animals have been pulled by the base to make reserve food, and there are still a lot left." I saw that the deer was really good, so I bought a leg. ”
The smile faded from Fang Ru's face. Go.
"All frozen to death?"
"That's right." Feng Mao said solemnly, "Chicken farms and farmland have been affected. It won't be long before there will be a famine at the base. (To be continued......)
