Chapter 52: The Day of the Extreme Freeze (Part II)
The group continued to discuss the details and preparations for setting fire to the forest, and the next morning, they began to work on it.
The crowd was divided into three groups, one group was responsible for setting fires, one group was responsible for collecting charcoal and other supplies, and one group was still cold to renovate and strengthen the house, adding some elaborate designs of insulation and ventilation.
Outside the base, the fire was together, black smoke billowed out, and thick ash filled the sky.
The animals of the forest, driven by the fire, fled in all directions. Countless animals have been burned to death. As Tian Guangye expected, there were indeed many animals that came straight to the base.
Three days later, it was cold.
Probably because of the previous burning of the forest, a large amount of water vapor condensed in the air, and in the evening, it suddenly fluttered and snowflakes fell.
At this time, many people were still wearing the autumn clothes and pants they were wearing when they ran away, and they were already dirty and torn. As soon as the temperature dropped, they shivered from the cold.
Xu Shuqing asked all the quilts and fabrics stored in the war readiness warehouse to be turned out and distributed. Everyone has an extra set of clothes, although they can't completely protect against the cold, but they play a little bit of protection.
The weather was too cold, everyone was nested in the collective room to roast the fire, and the temperature in the independent couple's room was cold and cold, but no one wanted to go to sleep. Some of the unused couples' rooms are used to store charcoal and sundries.
Not everyone is afraid of the cold.
A group of people with a high degree of evolution, such as Jiang Mantian, He Tingting, Long Yuandong, He Dali, Xu Yue, Lu Yan, Zhang Ziwu, Xiao Mengge, Wei Chuanfeng, Mo Fei, Mu Yuan, Xu Shuqing, etc., do not seem to have a great influence.
The snow is drifting and the whirlwind is blowing.
Between heaven and earth, there is silence.
However, everyone can feel that there is a strong smell of slaughter in this silence.
Jiang Mantian took out the metal box from his pocket, and his heart surged: "Whether you can survive this level depends on it!"
It snowed overnight.
The next day, the rooftops, the walls, the mud floors, and the dark ruins of the city were all covered with a thick layer of white.
Heavy snow is the greatest makeup artist, covering all the grandiose, ugly, vicious, and miserable features of the world, and quietly laying out the most beautiful and soft waves and arcs, stretching into the endless distance.
Jiang Mantian took the members of the original commando team, and called two other teams, braved the cold and snow, and headed towards Yihe Garden.
Without the barrier of the forest, the direction is easy to identify. However, the ruins covered by snow are bumpy and uneven, and in many cases there are even pits, which are very difficult to walk.
The crowd was cautious and arduous, and at about one o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived at their destination.
"This is the Qiu Xuan, and the front is the Dehui Palace. Mo Fei walked all the way and introduced all the way.
An old NUS alumnus, he knows the area well, and he remembers it vividly even though there are only piles of rubble and snow and mud now.
"According to Principal Xu's instructions, let's go down to the Cloud Palace, pass through the Second Palace Gate, go straight to the wharf, copy the lakeside path, walk through the promenade, and go to Yuzao Xuan, the organ is near here!"
Mo Fei suddenly said loudly: "That's right!
Everyone looked at each other.
Except for a damaged stone pillar, Yuzao Xuan has been completely submerged in Chengming Lake, and there is no trace of it.
At this time, the surface of Chengming Lake had already formed more than two feet of ice, which was extremely hard, and even if it was chiseled with iron, it would take a lot of effort to chisel it.
"Are you sure it's here?" Long Yuandong was depressed, originally he had a secret ability, and he was extremely confident that he would find the mechanism, but he had no idea where to start with the frozen lake.
"Absolutely, yes! I think my first love started here!" Mo Fei sighed: "Although everything has changed now, I remember the place very clearly. You look at the left, is the West Nine Room, the right is the Xiaoyao Pavilion, and then the Shizhang Pavilion in the past, the ruins still exist, clearly identifiable, this place will not be wrong!"
"Strange! We found the location where the strategic ship was stored at once, why did Principal Xu lead people to look for it twice, but they didn't find it?" Long Yuandong wondered: "Isn't our luck too good?"
"What does it mean to be lucky? If it weren't for my brother's presence, you would have been able to find this place?" Mo Fei invited the merit and said, "If you have been here before, you know that there is a big difference between now and before, and it is completely unrecognizable. Ten days ago, I might not have been able to find this place. However, as you know, the martial soul I awakened is the Golden Eagle, and recently today, it has evolved, so it has given birth to an ability to discern directions! As for why this ability was born, it is difficult for me to explain it to you!"
"In that case, don't explain it. Don't be stunned, everyone, hurry up and dig!" Wei Chuanfeng rubbed his hands that were about to freeze, and picked up the sapper shovel to prepare to dry.
"Wait! Now the ground is frozen like iron, when are you going to dig it?" He Dali stopped with his big hand: "You stand back, look at me!"
Everyone took two steps back as they were told, waiting for the fat man to exert his might.
He Dali's legs were slightly separated, seeing everyone next to him, he thought for a while, and said: "Just look down on me like this? Everyone stand back a little! You stand too close, it will affect my performance, stand back!"
The crowd retreated another meter.
"It's not enough, it's far from enough! At least ten meters back! Squat down and pay attention to finding cover!" He Fat Man simply made his request clear at once.
Everyone was curious, pushed and shoved and retreated into the distance, all wanting to see what kind of medicine was sold in the fat man's gourd.
He vigorously swaggered and stood up, put on a posture, and suddenly exerted his whole body, clicked, and his feet fell into the snow for more than a foot, and it seemed that there were really some doorways.
But if that's all there is, it wouldn't seem surprising!
I saw He roar vigorously, raise his hands to the sky, bend down suddenly, and bombard the ground, like a gorilla ready to duel. The ground trembled slightly because of He's vigorous bombardment.
But that's nothing, is it?
And that's the end of it?
But seeing He vigorously roaring angrily, a circle of bright yellow light suddenly erupted around his body, like ripples on the water surface, stirring away. I only heard the sound of clicking from the depths of the ground, gradually accumulating, and then there was a loud bang, the earth shook violently, like a thousand catties of high explosives exploded at the same time in an instant, with He Dali as the center, the sand, frozen soil and floating snow in a radius of eight meters all flew into the air, filling the sky, and a deep pit of nearly three meters appeared on the ground!
The crowd squatting in the distance only had time to sigh: "it!" and they were buried in the dust.
He Dali's clothes were scattered, his long hair was tangled, his mouth was full of dirt, and he shouted in embarrassment: "Phew! Phew, Nima's, the first time I used this 'earth shock', it was really hard to control! I almost blew up Lao Tzu himself!"
As soon as the dust stopped, Mo Fei got up, rushed over and gave He Dali a punch: "I'll you dead fat man, scared Lao Tzu! Now this place has been cleaned and slippery by you, and some organs have also been blown up by you!"
