Chapter Twenty-Six: A Super Cold Wave is Coming!
"It's coming!"
Chen Ye raised his head and just happened to see the abnormal change in the weather.
A strong wind blew on the vast sea, and the waves were surging in waves.
A white fog like a curtain wall is pouring in from the skyline.
The sky, which had been bright just a moment ago, was now covered by Stratocumulus clouds, as it had been before the first day of the storm.
But today is by no means a storm.
Chen Ye felt the coldness in the air, and probably confirmed the next natural disaster.
It should be extremely cold weather that is the exact opposite of the high temperature disaster!
Compared with extreme heat, extremely cold weather is several times more terrifying!
He didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately closed all the windows on the second floor, and then rushed downstairs.
Lin Zimo was so frightened by the "bad intentions" that he returned to the living room, and began to clean the scale armor dissected today.
Seeing Chen Ye suddenly running down the stairs, he stopped what he was doing and said in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”
"The third round of natural disasters is coming!"
Chen Ye quickly closed the open window panel in the living room, and took out the dragon wood and put it in the fireplace to light it.
The flames rose all at once.
The crimson firelight shone on Lin Zimo's shocked face.
Lu Ze, who was sitting by the fireplace, also showed a frightened look at this moment.
Lin Zimo keenly sensed the cold air surging around him.
"Is it a big blizzard this time?"
She looked out through the gap in the window panel and saw that the sea was already white.
Chen Ye gritted his teeth, his face solemn: "It's not that simple......"
After the words fell, he quickly opened the consignment center, ready to make the first move and rush to buy cold materials.
On the third day of the apocalyptic world, even if someone awakens the natural ability related to clothing-making, they still can't make clothes to keep out the cold, and even an ordinary ready-to-wear is a luxury that requires a lot of resources to buy.
However, some powerful adventurers hunted some exotic beasts, stripped off their heavy furs and threw them at the consignment center to sell.
This thing was put yesterday, I'm afraid I can't even give it away for free.
But today, it will become a valuable commodity that is hard to buy.
And many people have already noticed the change in the weather, and the already scarce exotic animal skins in the consignment center are disappearing from the shelves at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Chen Ye found a few sellers who sold the skins of exotic beasts, and exchanged them for the bones and scale armor of the crocodile shark.
The reason why crocodile shark meat is not used is because since the other party has fur on his hands, he naturally has the corresponding corpses of foreign beasts.
They do not lack meat, they lack weapons and equipment.
Although Chen Ye does not have finished equipment, the tough scale armor of the crocodile shark is a sought-after item in this world.
If it is made into armor and worn on the body, it can resist a certain degree of slashing and spearing.
At the same time, Chen Ye asked Lin Zimo to exchange crocodile shark meat for some cold-resistant materials.
For example, wood and charcoal.
Especially red birch, that is, unstrengthened dragon wood.
This type of oily wood releases more heat when burned.
The two were busy for a long time.
There was a small amount of crocodile shark bones piled up in the storage room, but there was a lot of fishy exotic animal fur in the living room.
Lu Ze, who had just joined the team, couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
It's only been three days since he came to the end of the world, how much money did this man have saved to make him buy supplies so arrogantly?
According to a rough estimate, Chen Ye consumed the scale armor of the two Megalodon Sharks and exchanged them for ten heavy and huge exotic beast skins.
Although it is not a well-made fur coat and is not particularly soft to the touch, it is even a little rough, but it also protects against the cold well when wrapped around the body.
And Lin Zimo did not fail in his mission, consuming more than 80 kilograms of crocodile shark meat in exchange for half of the red birch wood in the storeroom.
She even found cotton-like crops.
【Herb: Cotton sunflower】
[Grows in sunny tropical areas, the flowers are dark red, and soon wither, leaving large white capsules, which burst when ripe, revealing the soft fibers inside]
[Cotton sunflower seeds have a high oil content, which is a semi-dry vegetable oil, rich in high-quality multivitamins, fatty acids and cotton sunflower sterols, which can be eaten or made into skin care products]
It looks like a magnified version of a sunflower, but on a flower disc nearly fifty centimeters in diameter, there is a large lump of soft, snow-white fibers.
That's a good thing!
It's just that there are very few people who sell it, and what the consignment center has, all of them have been rounded by Lin Zimo.
And according to the seller, since yesterday's high temperature disaster, a large number of wild cotton sunflower turned to ashes, which is really a pity.
The wind outside the watchtower was getting louder and louder, even a little more violent than the storm the day before yesterday.
Chen Ye quickly took out a few pieces of alien beast fur and cut them into a suitable size with an axe.
Then use the crocodile shark bone as a bracket to support the inside of all the door panels and window panels of the watchtower, and block all the gaps as much as possible.
As soon as he blocked the last window of the side bedroom on the second floor, Chen Ye saw wisps of white smoke coming out of the fur that was blocking the gap.
Immediately afterward, the ice ballast spread through the heavy fur of the beast towards the walls around the window panels.
Even if he was more than half a meter away, he could feel a bitter chill.
"Holy, what the hell is the weather!"
Chen Ye scolded, turned around and ran downstairs.
But half a minute after he turned to leave, the entire wall had turned frosty white.
Chen Ye came to the living room and saw Lin Zimo standing in the middle of the room, his eyes closed as if he was perceiving something.
He also thought that there were strange beasts infested, so he hurriedly listened attentively.
But apart from the crackling and burning sound of the fire dragon wood, no other sound could be heard.
When he was puzzled, Lin Zimo said slowly: "I can't hear the sound of the waves!" ”
Chen Ye raised his head suddenly.
That's right, the sound of the waves, which I usually think is noisy, is now completely inaudible.
Could it be because the fur of the alien beast seals the doors and windows?
But even the basalt walls don't have such good sound insulation.
There is only one possibility.
From purchasing the skins of exotic beasts to blocking doors and windows, in less than an hour, the sea surface was already frozen.
With such an ultra-low temperature climate, even a major snowstorm cannot do it.
"Have you seen the movie "The Day After Tomorrow", I feel similar to the disaster in it."
Chen Ye looked at Lin Zimo, his face pale.
"Extremely cold cyclone plus super cold wave, this time it's not so easy to deal with!"
At such low temperatures, the fireplace against the wall quickly loses its effect.
So Chen Ye used basalt as the base and made a simple fire in the living room.
He took out some of the furs and spread some around the fire, and wrapped the rest around his body.
And with the help of Lin Zimo, all the fibers in the cotton sunflower were taken out and wrapped in fur to fill the gaps.
In the end, Chen Ye moved all the red birch wood he bought to the living room.
Around the fire and the fur of the beast, the inner and outer three layers are enclosed in a circle.
The reason why he has to make so many guarantees is because extremely cold weather is particularly harmful to the human body.
Humans are more tolerant of high temperatures, but it is still difficult to overcome low temperatures.
In the environment of high-temperature thermal radiation, all systems of the human body are affected.
For example, the water and salt metabolism system will become disordered, and the central nervous system will also be inhibited.
If you get timely hydration and treatment, the damage to the body can be recovered.
If handled properly, it can even last for a while.
However, in the extremely cold environment, it is very difficult to recover from frostbite as long as it is frostbitten.
If a high temperature environment can limit the body's functions, then the lethality of an extremely cold environment will be fatal.
Because although the body's heat dissipation function is limited, it will not completely strike.
However, when the body temperature drops to a certain value, some functions will completely collapse.
For example, when the core temperature of the human body drops to 32 degrees Celsius to 35 degrees Celsius, shivering will begin.
The whole person will also show the characteristics of numbness and slow reactions.
When the core body temperature drops below 28 degrees Celsius, the shivering phenomenon will stop, the cell activity will become slower and slower, and the person will die in the process of slowly losing consciousness.
In addition, prolonged exposure to low temperatures can easily lead to hypothermia.
People suffering from hypothermia exhibit insanity, exhibit abnormal undressing behavior, and eventually die in the hallucinations of "warmth".
Chen Ye asked Lin Zimo and Lu Ze to enter the circle surrounded by red birch and stay.
Lu Ze sat down next to the fire, as if he had lost his soul.
Not so long ago, he also sent a message to the squad leader.
It is said that there is a strong boss who will enter the forest tomorrow to rescue.
But now that the weather is so bad, Lu Ze is worried that they won't be able to survive that time.
"They are still in the wild, and when a natural disaster comes, their lives will definitely be in danger......"
Chen Ye picked up a piece of alien beast fur and wrapped it around Lu Ze.
"That's the cruelty of the apocalyptic world."
He couldn't think of words of comfort.
But it may also be a good thing to let this young man who has never been in the world see the cruelty of reality early.
People have to grow after all.
