Chapter 47: The Winter Winter Is Coming to an End
Twenty-two days later, the heavy snow spread to half the height of the window, and when the window was opened, Andrea took a lot of effort to push it away, and the zombie beast that was originally in the village may have been covered in snow.
A breeze blew across the faces of the two of them, like a knife cutting, and the bare palms were as stiff as ice cubes, and it was difficult to bend their fingers and make fists.
Faced with such a situation, after the two looked at each other, they didn't know what to say.
The temperature outside was beyond Xiang En's imagination, and although he had expected such a situation, the actual situation was still worse than he thought.
He doesn't have much of a sense of the temperature, the lowest temperature he has experienced was only 3 °C, and in the face of the temperature below zero degrees Celsius, he is a little nostalgic for the spring environment in the south.
When the face is blown by the wind, it is like peeling, and it hurts!
The zombie beasts were also buried in the snow, and now they are estimated to have been frozen, lacking the protection of their fur, even if they are special, they will be frozen hard by the current cold temperature, just like pork in cold storage.
The snow was still falling in the sky, and the external threat was temporarily buried in the snow, but Xiang En couldn't think of anything superfluous they could do in such a ghostly weather.
Together with Andrea, they climbed out of the window of the hut, and the two of them reinforced the chimney that was about to be buried in the snow.
No more zombie beasts jumped out when they struck the plank, the temperature was much cooler now than it was twenty days ago, and the two of them had put on as many clothes as they could, but it was still difficult to stay on the surface for too long.
When I got back to the wooden house, the wooden house, which was isolated from the snow outside, was also a little warmer.
The amount of snow was beyond expectations, and the two simply dug a gap, set up an iron pot and began to boil water, washing away the dirt that had accumulated for more than 20 days.
It is inevitable that there will be a hearty battle at night, and the loser is still Xiang En, which makes him want to learn Andrea and turn to refining the body, but unfortunately time does not allow.
It was as if the temperature had reached a watershed on this day, and in the following ten days, the temperature dropped again, and the unprecedented low temperature swept through the entire province of De'Air, and the survivors outside the closed city had unprecedented hardship.
The two of them were frozen to the point that they had no strength to fight hand-to-hand, and the firewood was consumed at a terrifying rate, but fortunately there was a little charcoal left in the villagers' homes.
……
Forty days after the first winter after the apocalypse, the wood reserves in the basement were finally depleted, but the temperature did not rise.
One of the reasons for the increased consumption of wood is that Xiang En digs a lot of snow to increase the temperature of the ground by boiling water.
In order to resist the low temperature, which froze the souls of people, they also nailed unused animal skins to the walls, spread them on the floor, and glued the entire basement with fur.
It's weird, but it works well.
Even so, the wood used to keep warm will be gone after another three or four days, and Xiang En still wants to use the remaining wood to carve totems, and it would be too wasteful to burn it directly.
In the end, Xiang En made a decision, brought an axe, demolished some unimportant wooden houses next to him, and transported the wood back to be burned as firewood!
The next day, the temperature warmed up slightly, but it was far from survivable.
The two of them came to the surface and did a few warm-up exercises, and then they pushed the window open, and the snow outside the window was collapsed by the movement of the window, and the snow rolled into the wooden house, burying the small half of the wooden house.
The two of them, wrapped in rice dumplings, managed to climb out and immediately began to level the snow layer, creating a slide-like upward passage.
It has been snowing for many days, and the snow in the forest is already close to three meters high, submerging the windows and making it extremely difficult to walk.
The two stepped on the planks to the snowy surface, walked to the edge of the wooden house opposite, picked up their axes and cut a large hole in the roof.
In cooperation with each other, Andrea demolished the house and moved wood to Eun.
After demolishing three wooden houses in a row, there is finally no shortage of firewood.
Not long after the firewood was solved, drinking water became stretched again, and it was difficult to continue to maintain survival consumption by relying only on finger skills to produce drinking water every day.
Another five days passed, and no matter how much I saved, I couldn't save it.
Andrea loses the motivation to fight hand-to-hand again, and the two have no choice but to drink the water melted by the snow.
The water boiled from the snow tasted a little strange, but it was still able to sustain them.
When both of them didn't care whether the snow was clean or not, their lives became a little easier, except for the food that couldn't be greasy, but they didn't encounter other problems that couldn't be solved......
After living underground for a long time, both of them are about to lose their sense of time, and they don't know how many days the winter will end.
Before I knew it, many more days had passed......
The dagger scraped against the wall of mud and sand, making a rustling sound, but the sound only lasted for a moment, and a complete "positive" appeared on the wall.
Andrea sat aside and looked at Xiang En who was carving words on the wall, and Xiang En was also stunned to look at the orthography on the wall.
Counting from left to right, there are as many as 18 orthography on the wall, and each painting represents a day.
Of course...... These records are not accurate, and Xiang En and Andrea will occasionally be idle and idle, fighting together until they lose track of time.
The schedule was very chaotic for a short period of time, and neither of them had an accurate answer to how many days had passed outside.
It is not until the Forbidden Demon Teng is made that the date is calculated according to the sky outside.
The time recorded should fluctuate up and down in about five days, that is, at least three months have passed now.
Now the temperature has risen a lot, and when he walks outside and is blown by the wind, he only shiveres at most, and there is no stinging sensation of cutting his cheeks with a knife, and the animal skin and the cotton clothes that are close to leaking can make him feel warm.
Calculate the time, and the normal winter is coming to an end......
So he was thinking about whether he should leave now, while those zombie beasts were still in a frozen state.
If it was to wait for the snow to melt, he didn't guarantee that those zombie beasts would not break away from the frozen state. Ordinary life has been frozen for so long, there is a high probability that it will not survive, but this is a world with magic......
"Anli, winter may be almost over, or ...... Let's leave now? ”
Xiang En, who was hesitant, finally decided to let Andrea make a choice, and was afraid that Andrea would not understand the difference between leaving early and leaving late, he analyzed: "Leaving the underground in advance can avoid the threat of some ghouls and get out of the forest, the advantage is safety, and plenty of time, the disadvantage is that it is difficult to ensure that you will not encounter a blizzard when you are in a hurry!"
If you wait until the snow has almost melted before leaving, you don't know how many zombie beasts in the forest will wake up. There are also carnivorous monsters that have been hungry for a winter, and they may also appear. The good thing is that we're going to be able to walk a little faster, and it's not as cold. The downside is as mentioned earlier, both Warcraft and Ghouls can threaten us. ”
After listening to his words, Andrea replied almost without hesitation: "I listen to you!" ”
"Hey...... Forget what I said! Ponder! Don't give up thinking! It's up to you this time! Xiang En covered his face.
"Eh~!" Andrea let out a long tone word, her brows tangle almost together, she really didn't like to think when she had someone to rely on, it would remind her of when she was alone.
Her fingers scratched at the carpet for a long time, and it wasn't until Xiang En urged that Andrea made up her mind, "Early, go early!" ”
So Xiang Encai reached out and rubbed her red hair with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Well, listen to you!" ”
"Woo......"
Under Xiang En's behavior, Andrea squatted like a young beast and whined, lowered her head a little embarrassedly, and muttered: "I'm not a child, why do you want to touch my head, do you want to use here......"
“…… What nonsense are you talking about? ”
