Chapter 232: The Weather Deteriorates
In any case, Yiqiē still depends on the weather conditions tomorrow, if the snowstorm stops tomorrow, then Chen Yang can continue on the road, if it does not stop, he can only stay where he is...... Or try to get back to the metro station.
"If only there was GPS."
There is no GPS, not even ordinary 3G and 4G signals, but he originally planned to return from this three-day exploration, so he set up a high-power omnidirectional broadcast antenna to control several drones to carry out a comprehensive search and detection of New York.
The advantage is that the drone can explore in all directions at high altitude, and it is definitely more comprehensive than he personally sees.
The disadvantages naturally also exist, the shortcomings of secrecy and easy exposure, compared to Chen Yang's personal actions, and he must find a safe and secure place to arrange high-power antennas, which are all troubles.
It was only after a few days of reconnaissance and exploration that Chen Yang preliminarily determined that the number of surviving humans in New York City should be very small, and the use of drones should not be exposed and dangerous.
After eating this dinner, Chen Yang put the thermos box in his backpack, closed his eyes slightly, and rested.
I closed my eyes and fell asleep, and I don't know how long it took, Chen Yang's eyes suddenly opened, and he reached out and pressed the phone screen, "3:15".
"Hmm, why is it a little cold?"
Even he felt cold, the temperature could be imagined, and when Chen Yang took out the thermometer to see, it turned out to be minus thirty-five degrees Celsius.
Leaning against the wall, his exposed arms, and feeling the cold wind convection in the air, Chen Yang was completely sleepy. Simply stand up and take a few steps back and forth to dispel the chill.
"Huh...... The fire is out? ”
Inadvertently peek into the wall. Chen Yang frowned slightly, and the fire that was burning well more than ten meters away. At this moment, it is already in the state of Mars, and almost in a while, it will all be extinguished.
The reason is simple, the firewood in the fire is burned clean and will definitely be gradually extinguished.
In the darkness, the five little girls curled up together, motionless, not knowing whether they knew that the fire was about to be extinguished.
Chen Yang thought for a moment and lit up the phone screen. Coming to the fire—some dry wood and dry branches that were neatly stacked.
I have to say that the ability of these little girls to survive really moved him a little, and the dry firewood and dry branches collected are not big or small, and most of them are easy to burn. In addition, the sun-dried weeds are carefully placed on the side to be used as a material for ignition, otherwise it is difficult for dry firewood to be ignited by a lighter.
These little survival skills can show the carefulness of these little girls.
There you have these. There was no need for Chen Yang to bother anymore, he picked up the dry firewood and dry branches and put them in the fire, took out a windproof lighter and lit the hay, so that the embers in the fire could be restored to their original warmth.
Maybe it's because he's moving a little louder. Only then did the flames in the fire rekindle and wake up the little golden girl.
"Wow!"
The little golden girl suddenly saw someone in front of her, and wanted to wake up her sisters with a "wow" sound. At the same time, there is one hand, as if the mother beast is protecting her cubs. Vigilant and frightened as he watched.
"Don't look at me with that expression......"
Chen Yang's movements did not change in the slightest, and they were still so stable. Without raising his head, he continued to stir the fire and let the air flow in it, so that the flame would burn more vigorously.
The younger sisters were awakened by the sound of their sister's movements, and before they could react, they were squeezed into the corner of the back wall by the little girl Jin, shivering and shivering, and I don't know if it was because of the cold or fear.
"You're really lucky to be alive."
After fiddling with the fire, as soon as Chen Yang raised his head, the shaking fire produced when the flame burned shone on his face, flashing and flickering, as if making his face become "hideous", but this did not prevent the little girl Jin from recognizing him at first sight.
Chen Yang can understand that after living in such an environment for a long time, his vigilance must be very heavy, and he is not angry because of the vigilance and panic of the children, he casually glanced at the five little girls who retreated to the corner, untied his backpack, and took out a few compressed biscuits from inside.
"It's ...... to eat"
Chen Yang tore open one of the compressed biscuits, crushed a small piece and put it in his mouth to chew, indicating that he could eat it, and then took these compressed biscuits, put them next to the fire, and pushed them in the direction of the little girls, signaling that this was for them.
These actions are very understandable, Chen Yang didn't hurt them before, although the little girl was still staring at the weak little eyes, but Chen Yang said kindly at this time, which still made the little girl relax a little.
However, just like a hunter encounters a tiger in the wild, even if the tiger is lazy and does not want to hurt people, but the hunter will never be completely relaxed because of this, the tension will still be nervous, the vigilance is still vigilant.
Chen Yang, who understood this truth, got up from the fire after handing over a few compressed biscuits, and strode out, trying to stay away from this group of frightened children.
The fact is also the same, until Chen Yang disappeared into the darkness, the tense tension and fear of the little girl Jin barely dissipated, and the younger sisters had long been squeezed back by her, and at this time, they stretched out their little heads one by one and exhaled a mouthful of white heat.
Cold, cold, so cold!
The little girl had never been so cold, and since she could remember, she had gone through five or six cold periods, but every cold period had never been so cold.
The little girl who only had a simple quantitative relationship in her mind couldn't accurately explain with numbers how many times it was colder than before, and she only felt cold.
No matter how much you wear, you still feel cold.
The younger sisters also look cold...... She could feel every trembling and trembling of her sisters in the weak bodies next to them, but no one made a sound.
My sisters are putting up with it.
The little golden girl let go of her body, babbled, and pointed to the fire to tell everyone to come closer, so that it would be warmer......
The younger sisters leaned against the fire, and she sat on the other side, and when she added firewood to the fire, she had to stare back from time to time, beware of the "strange man" appearing again, she was very afraid of that person, because her mother had told her before that when she saw a person of great height, she had to run, and she would not be caught......
……
……
Chen Yang found another place to rest, because he didn't feel much sleep, he closed his eyes and was half asleep, and when it was more than six o'clock in the morning, he could no longer fall asleep.
"Is it minus thirty-seven degrees?"
"Well, it should be the end, right?"
After checking the thermometer, Chen Yang got up and came to the top of the building, and looked out, in a dark sky, there were large snowflakes and wind, and there was no trace of decline.
Looking at such a blizzard, Chen Yang had no choice but to take out biscuits and dried beef, and while eating, he mixed warm water and drank them, waiting for the sky to turn white.
But perhaps the idea was naïve, for the clock was pointing until half-past eight in the morning, and the sky outside was only a little better, though not so much that I could not lose my fingers, but it was not much better.
Overcast clouds obscured the entire sky, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate it, and the terrifying blizzard lowered the gaze to a very terrifying level.
Looking out with his eyes wide open, the direct range of his line of sight would definitely not exceed ten meters, and it was blocked by the gloomy darkness and snowflakes.
Not to mention the snowstorm overnight, the depth of the snow layer on the roof of the building has almost reached 40 centimeters, and it is conceivable that the depth of snow in the streets and the rest of the place will not be much lower than this depth, but I am afraid that as soon as people step on it, their feet will fall into the snow, and it will be difficult to pull it out.
In this environment, not to mention that ordinary people can't hurry, even Chen Yang, a non-human, has to weigh whether he will get lost in the blizzard.
Frowning, Chen Yang walked down while thinking about his next plan.
When he came to the third floor, Chen Yang looked into the wall, the fire around the little girls had long been extinguished, and the tattered blanket that he found out of nowhere, the five of them curled up in a ball, surrounded themselves with the blanket, exhaled white air, and their faces were frozen white.
The temperature of minus 37 degrees Celsius is difficult to experience in the winter in most parts of the earth, especially the cold and strong winds brought by the blizzard, which will add to the drastic changes in temperature, making it very easy for people to lose their body temperature.
Chen Yang was wearing a thin dress, and he didn't know how to do anything at minus ten degrees on weekdays, but when the temperature was low to minus thirty-seven degrees, not far from forty degrees, even he felt cold in his bones.
"If the temperature drops any further, it's going to be a problem."
No one likes this cold feeling, Chen Yang simply began to search this deserted building, even if he couldn't find many useful things, but there were a few rotten wooden doors, which could be used for waste, and Chen Yang kicked them away and collected five wooden doors.
Chen Yang estimates that if all the wooden furniture or doors of the entire building are removed and burned as firewood, there will be no problem in burning them for at least 5 days and 5 nights 24 hours a day.
Is this lucky? Or is it a blessing in misfortune?
Holding five gates in one hand, Chen Yang walked over in the frightened eyes of the five little girls, ignoring the fears of these little girls, first dismantled the gate that was about to fall apart, added it to the fire and lit it, and walked seven or eight meters away and rebuilt a fire.
The materials are limited and the environment is limited, and Chen Yang can only do this simply.
On one side is Chen Yang, and on the other side are five little girls under the age of ten, accompanied by the "crackling" sound of firewood burning, the two parties are silent except for silence.
Looking at the burning and beating flames, Chen Yang controlled his mobile phone, couldn't help but cover his forehead with one hand, and sighed. (To be continued......)
