After resting for an hour in a half-dream, his mother, Yang Lan, woke Chu Chen up.

reminded Chu Chen of the sentence 'ready to eat', and Yang Lan left again.

Chu Chen said "yes" to his mother's back, got up, put on a military coat, and walked around the iron shed that was about to be completed.

The door that was damaged by Chu Chen has been inspected, and Director Long of the decoration company has urged the employees to repair it.

Moreover, under the temptation of imminent huge benefits, when his father Chu Yi was chatting, he said, 'The quality of the wooden door is too poor', so the wooden door on the seventh floor and the eighth floor was also replaced with a thick iron door by the supervisor for free.

In addition, it seems that the snow has become heavier and the temperature is lower, even if they wear imitation army coats, they still can't resist the biting cold, and several decoration workers, even if they have been doing things, are shivering from the cold!

After chatting with Director Long, who was in charge, Chu Chen was told that these workers were going to work overtime today and start asking for leave and rest tomorrow.

Back in the house, Chu Chen's family began to eat, and halfway through the meal, Director Long of the decoration company pushed open the door.

After knocking on the door panel a few times, he entered the house, closed the door, and said with a smile: "Haha, Director Chu, eat, what a good dish." ”

"It's just a few side dishes, if Boss Long doesn't dislike it, why don't you sit down and eat some together?" Chu Yi also greeted him with a smile.

"No, no, I just ate it. Well, that's the case, the shed is basically finished, and now it's time to put the finishing touches, Director Chu, I'm really sorry to disturb you eating, but, look, after eating, do you settle your salary? ”

"It's out of the way, I'll turn it around for you now, 112,000, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, if there is anything in the future, Director Chu remembers to contact me, I guarantee that the quality must be the best!"

"Okay, I'll turn it, you check it, and I'll look for you again when I have a chance in the future."

"It's here, it's here, then~ you eat first, I won't bother, another day, I'll come to visit another day."

"Okay, there's time to make tea."

Then, Chu Yi sent the smiling Boss Long out of the door, closed the door, and continued to eat, as if what he had just paid was not more than 100,000 yuan, but more than 10 yuan, but Yang Lan, worried that the money was spent in vain, complained a few words.

At the same time, Xiao Ran, the director of the Public Security Bureau, who was very busy, finally returned to the bureau and was about to go to the public security bureau's canteen for dinner, but was stopped by the doorman Lao Li trotting all the way.

Following behind the director, Lao Li said: "Director Xiao, at noon today, Director Chu came to the bureau for a trip, and he didn't know what to do, so he stayed for more than ten or twenty minutes, and then left again. ”

"What? Does he still know to come back? What about people now? The whole Long County is in a mess now, I was scolded so badly by the county magistrate, he actually played for me to disappear! Xiao Ran was so tired that he had a headache, and when he heard that Chu Yi had come to the bureau, he was immediately angry.

"Well, he, he left at noon, and I can't ask where he went." Lao Li's voice was three points lower, obviously not wanting to bear the anger of the director.

"He's gone again?" Director Xiao asked loudly, but when he saw the cafeteria, everyone began to pay attention to this side, and lowered his voice again: "What did he do when he came back?" What was said? ”

"This, I didn't ask, but Director Chu brought a person, it seems to be Director Chu's son, I've seen it a few times."

Director Xiao pondered for a few minutes, looked at the time on his phone, and explained: "Okay, if he comes next time, you ask him to call me immediately." If you can, don't let him leave, this guy Chu Yi has been too abnormal in the past two days! ”

"Okay!" Lao Li hurriedly nodded.

……

At nine o'clock in the evening, it was already completely dark, and the people from the renovation company began to leave one after another.

After Chu Chen's family locked the iron door of the stairwell, they returned to the house and closed the newly installed doors and windows, leaving only the roof and the newly installed ventilation ducts, and a small amount of cold wind kept blowing in.

The mattress has been replaced with a quilt, and a quilt has been added to the cover, as for Chu Chen, during the day, Yang Lan specially asked someone from the decoration company to help make a simple bed with a door panel and four small wooden blocks.

On the simple wooden bed, there is also a quilt, and it is also covered with two layers of quilts, so that when Chu Chen enters the quilt, he is no longer afraid that he will freeze when he gets up the next day.

The three of them, who had slept quietly all night for the sake of the next morning's outburst, were woken up by a scream at about seven o'clock.

But this scream was just a fuse, and after that, every few minutes, there were screams, some were close, the sound was harsh, and some were obviously far away, after the noise reduction of the wind and snow, when I heard it, it was already very weak, of course, this did not prevent Chu Chen from distinguishing the horror and sadness in it.

I had been lying in bed until nine o'clock, and through the window, I saw that the outside world was a little brighter.

Chu Chen, who had no intention of sleeping, put on several layers of thick clothes, and finally put on his military coat and went out to check the situation outside.

At the same time, his father Chu Yi and mother Yang Lan on the side also began to get up.

Outside the door, under the barrier of the iron shed, the snow on the roof of the building has just overflowed half of the calf, and the two wooden houses side by side are more or less covered in white, but if it is not dealt with in time, this will also become the next terrifying accident.

Walking around the roof of the building, Chu Chen found that outside now, the whole world of ice and snow was there, and in the field of vision, there was almost no other color.

Chu Chen's parents, who were also dressed neatly, walked to Chu Yi's side, and looked at the world around them in the same surprise.

Every few minutes, one or several people will walk out of the house, and then in a few minutes, they will be turned into ice sculptures by the wind and snow.

Chu Yi would shout loudly every time, telling those who came out to go back quickly, but after the interference of the wind and snow, the sound that reached the ears of those people, I don't know.

Besides, what these people have experienced, whether they are willing to listen to it or not, Chu Chen doesn't know at all.

After shouting many times to no avail, Chu Yi stopped shouting, just watched it once and sighed once.

Chu Chen suddenly frowned, and asked in surprise: "Dad, Mom, take a look, have the green trees in the community grown a lot taller?" ”

The parents who came back to their senses looked at Chu Chen, and then looked at the direction Chu Chen pointed to, which were green trees that were covered with ice and snow and had obviously grown a lot taller.

"It does feel a lot taller and bigger, but it's also an illusion caused by the snow piling up on the trees." Mother Yang Lan spoke her mind.

"No, if you want to say that the height is probably piled up with snow, but how can snow be piled up horizontally?" After all, Chu Yi is a policeman, with strong logical thinking and reasoning, turning his head, Chu Yi asked his son: "If it is because of the outbreak of the end times, is it really possible for the tree to grow 3 to 5 meters tall overnight?" ”

Chu Chen was dazed: "I don't know, but the end of the world is coming, and it must not be judged by common sense." ”

After all, Chu Chen had only awakened his natural skills, and compared to his parents, Chu Chen didn't know much about the end of the world.

Ten minutes later, Yang Lan left first and started to make breakfast.

And Chu Chen's father and son continued to stand for nearly half an hour, and there were fewer and fewer people running out, and even not long after Yang Lan left, there was a person who couldn't see his gender and age clearly, jumped from a tall building in the distance, and landed on a snowdrift close to two meters on the ground, and did not die immediately, after crawling less than three meters, he became one of the many ice sculptures.

In order to divert his father's attention, after breakfast, Chu Chen called his parents and began to clean up the snow around the house together.

In the morning, the three of them worked together to knock down the thin ice on the house, shovel all the snow out of the roof, and break the ice picks hanging on the edge of the iron shed.

When he was done, it was already past 1 o'clock, Yang Lan rested for a while and began to cook lunch, while Chu Chen was on the side to help.

After seeing his mother use the natural gas stove to light the fire several times, after turning it on, next to him, Chu Chen, who was washing the last small pile of cabbage, found that the flame on the stove was obviously much smaller, and it was possible to extinguish it at any time.

It's clear that something is wrong with the gas company!

After washing the dishes, Chu Yi prepared to go online to see if he could find any clues, but found that his mobile phone had no signal, let alone surfing the Internet, and he couldn't even dial up.

The outbreak of the end times was far more terrifying and faster than Chu Chen imagined, and it was only a few days before the whole world was close to being paralyzed.

After a while, the three of them discussed while eating, and decided to fill the containers that could hold water at home with water, although the snow outside could be burned into water, but after all, they were not at ease.

Also, the three of them discussed using natural gas as much as possible to fry more rice, and cooked rice tasted much better than raw rice, and dry fried rice could withstand storage compared to cooked rice.

When his mother was frying rice, Chu Chen, father and son, suddenly heard someone shouting outside the house, and the two hurriedly went out to check.

At this time, behind the iron door of the stairwell, three men and one woman were frantically banging on the door, and a man about 50 years old was shouting while patting: "Is there anyone?" I'm Fang Wei from the second floor, we met yesterday, thank you for the reminder yesterday, it's just that we didn't expect the temperature to drop so low so soon, and we didn't prepare enough quilts and clothes! ”

The person next to the person who claimed to be Fang Wei was a young man of twenty-eight or nine, he didn't make a sound, just slapped vigorously, but behind the two of them, an old man who was nearly fifty years old kept shouting: "Is there anyone?" Anyone? ”

Another aunt, who is also almost fifty years old, also shouted: "Do you have a conscience, I saw that you bought so many quilts and cotton clothes yesterday, can't you divide us into several sets?" ”

Walking to the door, Chu Yi was about to open the door, but was immediately stopped by Chu Chen: "Dad, no, who knows what they want to do?" ”

Before Chu Yi could make a sound, a few people behind the door began to scramble and shout loudly: "Open the door, open the door, give us a few sets of cotton clothes!" ”

Among them, the aunt's voice was particularly harsh: "Quilt!" If you want a quilt, you need at least three sets of quilts, and yesterday I saw that you bought at least six or seven sets! ”

Chu Chen didn't wait for Chu Yi to speak, and took the lead in asking a few people behind the door to try: "Do you live on the second floor?" How many people are in the family? ”

"Four, we have them at home."

The young man in his twenties, before he finished answering, was slapped on the back of the head by the aunt behind him!

The aunt glared at the young man and replied, "Eight people, I am Miao Chunhua, next to me is my husband Fang Wei, my husband and his younger brother Fang Long, and my son Fang Sen!" There is also a brother and sister-in-law of mine, a nephew and another son of mine, and there are eight of us together, so you have to give us a few more quilts, or we will freeze to death, and you will kill you!" ”

Chu Chen gestured to his father with his eyes, and continued to ask with a slight smile: "Eight? Didn't you just say seven people? ”

Auntie's face froze, and for a while, she couldn't speak.

However, her husband Fang Wei, who was obviously more sensitive, opened his mouth to explain: "My wife didn't make it clear, my younger brother also has two sons, so there are eight people, you see that there are so many of us, can you sell us some quilts and cotton clothes?" We bought three quilts, four coats and cotton pants at twice the market price. ”

When the aunt heard that she was going to pay for it, she still doubled it, and she was suddenly unhappy again: "No, no, no, my husband said that he was joking, we bought it at the normal price, we are also a small family, the family is very poor, and there are many of us, we want five quilts, six coats and cotton pants." There is still food, and we are gone with food, so we have to buy it too! ”

In just a few words, Chu Yi had already noticed that this family was lying and selfish, and he was immediately furious, and was about to open his mouth to question them, but Chu Chen, who heard the subtle voice, waved his hand to stop him, and shhhed softly, signaling his father to put his ear close to the iron door, of course, he couldn't put his ear on the cold iron door, if he put it on, it would be difficult to get out.

Behind the door, Fang Wei's family was discussing in a whisper.

"Husband, are you stupid, who knows how many days this ghost weather lasts? Spend twice as much, and if the weather is normal tomorrow, won't we lose money? ”

"Yes, yes, Dad, why should we give money, borrow it and use it, and wait for the weather to get better and pay them back?"

"What do you know? My brother's idea is to buy more, and when he comes downstairs, he asks the others if they want to buy it, and we can charge them four or five times as much! ”

"Ah, husband, yes, let's change our words now, buy twice, and buy all their quilts and clothes back! Go downstairs and sell to someone else, and we'll make thousands! ”

"Well, I've thought about these for a long time, and after a while, the door opened, let's say that there is no quilt and no clothes at home, and even the food is almost eaten, as many points as possible, wife, you are responsible for bargaining, try to keep it low, just say that the weather forecast says that it will definitely be warmer tomorrow! Moreover, when we get the things in our hands, we will wait for a day or two, and when we sell them, we will have to multiply them at least tenfold, and then see if their lives or money are important! ”

Chatting and chatting, several people saw that not only did the door not open, but there was no sound behind the door, the family panicked a little, and began to clap and shout again, and Chu Chen had already left behind his father who sighed.
