Chapter 19: The Cold Night Is Long

Li Jie, who was woken up by freezing, couldn't sleep!

-3° indoors! This situation has never been experienced before! In the past, it was cold outside, but there was a stove at home in the early years, and there was heating and air conditioning in these years! I've never slept at -3°C!

Gotta get warm!

But how? It would be nice if there was a coal-burning stove and extract coal directly from your phone, but the problem is that there is none! If you burn coal directly, you have to be smoked to death! If you don't smoke to death, you will get gas poisoning!

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Jie's eyes lit up, there he has!

shrunk back and got dressed, took out a quilt from the cabinet, covered it for his wife, and went to the kitchen lightly. Looking at the stylishly decorated kitchen, Li Jie sighed, I don't know if I have the opportunity to use it in the future, I can't take care of it, let's solve the current problem first!

Take out the phone, after turning it on, 28% of the battery remains, sigh, Android machine in the case of not much power, the power consumption is especially fast! There are still 30% left when the last time the phone was turned off!

Entering the game, I quickly started cutting down trees, and after 10 minutes, I finally got a lot of wood, processed it into sticks and blocks, and silently said "Come out!"

I saw a large pile of sticks and wood almost appear in the predetermined corner of the kitchen. Looking at the wood all over the ground, Li Jie nodded with satisfaction.

I found some cardboard boxes, tore them, and took them to the kitchen together, and we're ready to make a fire!

The range hood is no longer working, the power is out, and this is a waste. I had no choice but to open the window, and the moment the window opened, a cold wind blew in instantly, and with the wind came in, there were snowflakes.

It's snowing!

Li Jie shuddered, and didn't care to enjoy the snowy scene. Hurriedly closed the kitchen door, then lit the cardboard, threw it into the basin, and the flames slowly engulfed the cardboard and burned. Seeing that the fire was bigger, he took a few wooden sticks, threw them in the fire, and saw that the wooden sticks burned smoothly, Li Jie breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly turned around, took out the grill from the oven, and laid it flat on the basin, and a simple brazier was done.

Hurriedly extracted a few buckets of water from the game, poured them into the kettle, and put them on the brazier to boil the hot water. After adding some firewood, he quickly quit the game. Looking at the battery, only 22% is left. In just ten minutes, so much power was consumed, Li Jie grinned distressedly, no way, just need it!

Regardless of the distressed little electricity left, he carefully took care of the fire, because there was no air inlet under the basin, the fire had not been very vigorous, Li Jie had been holding a wooden stick and playing with firewood, blowing from time to time.

Finally, the water boiled.

Because the temperature was too low and he was afraid that the water would cool quickly, Li Jie didn't care about his red eyes from being smoked, and found 5 drink bottles of different specifications, all of which he drank in the past few days, and he didn't throw them away for fear of being useful.

Put the hot water tank into the drink bottle, some bottles are slightly thinner, and the scalding is slightly deformed, but it is harmless. 5 simple thermos bottles were ready, and there was still some hot water left in the pot, so I hurriedly took the thermos pot and prepared to pour it into it to keep warm.

"Don't pour it, just pour it into the cup, and I'll serve it to your mother!" You send some to Pepe's mother, I just heard a movement in their house, and I should have woken up too! Li Jianguo's voice came from behind him.

Li Jie looked back and saw that his father had woken up at some point, and was standing outside the kitchen door with a cup, ready to catch hot water.

"Dad, why are you awake?" Li Jie asked.

Li Jianguo scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, of course it's frozen!" ”

Li Jie hurriedly poured water and saw Li Jianguo holding two thermos and a cup of hot water to the bedroom. Hurriedly picked up two thermos, picked up a cup of hot water, and knocked on the door of Zeng Aiguo's bedroom: "Dad!" Awake? ”

Zeng Aiguo's voice came: "Wake up! What's wrong? With that, he put on his shoes, and with a sound of footsteps, the door opened.

Li Jie handed over the thermos and hot water, and said with a smile: "I woke up from the cold, I just boiled some hot water and poured 2 thermoses, one for you and your mother!" ”

Zeng Aiguo took the thermos and a cup of hot water in surprise: "How do you boil hot water!?" ”

Li Jie smiled: "Take firewood to burn, Dad, you sleep first, and talk about it tomorrow!" ”

Turning around with a thermos, he returned to the master bedroom. Entering the door, sure enough, Zeng Pei had also been woken up by the cold, and was about to get dressed, when he saw Li Jie come in, he complained: "Why is it so cold all of a sudden!" I can't sleep this night! ”

Li Jie laughed, raised the thermos in his hand, and said with a smile: "Look what this is?" As he spoke, he handed it over.

Zeng Pei subconsciously took it: "Ah, hot water!" He looked at Li Jie with a look of surprise and asked, "Where did you get it?" ”

"Got some firewood, I'll burn it in the kitchen!" Li Jie said proudly.

When Zeng Pei heard this, he was anxious: "Kitchen? Firewood? That must not have blackened the house! ”

Li Jie listened, sighed, and said while getting into bed: "No way, it's so cold, just now I saw that it was snowing outside, and it was minus 3 degrees in our house, if you don't want to find a way, our parents have to freeze!" When I burned the wood, the windows were open, and there wasn't much smoke. And ......" Speaking of this, Li Jie's voice suddenly lowered, and he muttered: "And...... I don't know when this will pass......"

Zeng Pei heard Li Jie's last words, and he was immediately silent.

yes, when will it pass! It's like hell right now! People have lost their minds and become like wild beasts, and I don't know when, maybe they will really become someone else's belly...... Thinking of the scenes of people being bitten, bitten to death and even eaten by infected people from the windows these days, Zeng Pei shuddered, drove this nightmarish scene out of his mind, and hugged Li Jie tightly. buried his head in Li Jie's arms, tears flowed out unconsciously, whimpering in a low voice, and choking one by one: "I'm afraid...... I'm so scared......"

Li Jie hugged his wife, gently patted her shoulder with his hand, kissed her lightly on the forehead with the corner of his mouth, and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't cry, don't cry, my husband protects you!" It's going to be fine...... Maybe rescue is on the way, don't be afraid, don't be afraid......"

With hot water, a thermos, and a quilt, the cold night finally passed.

Early the next morning, Li Jie got up early, looked at the heavy snow outside, and secretly guessed: "Such a low temperature should affect the activity of this bacteria or virus, right?" ”

His guess was correct. Indeed, the low temperature does affect the activity of this bacterium. What people don't know is that in some cities in the south, more than 90 percent of the most serious people are infected, and there are very few survivors. The colder, drier the place, the lower the activity of this prehistoric bacterium.

About 30 percent of the total number of airborne infections in AX City, and about 20 percent of the citizens who have been infected by bites or have been reduced to rations for infected people---- they also need to eat.

The remaining 50% of the survivors are trapped in the city, hiding in their rooms, and no one dares to go out into the streets, which have become hunting grounds for the invented...... It is as if they can recognize the difference between a normal person and an infected person.

Li Jie looked out the window at the snow, where the infected were hiding together to keep warm, occasionally fighting for shelter. It was even seen that a strong infected person had bitten an elderly infected to death, ripped off its flesh, and eaten it! Li Jie poked his head out, stared at the infected in the distance, and muttered to himself at this terrifying scene: They are so hungry that they can even eat their own kind......

Undoubtedly, yes.
