Chapter 370: Extreme Cold (Part II)

When Lin Wu sent the pumpkin syrup, the lights in the bonfire room had been turned on, and everyone was tidying up the covers, and it turned out that two more mahjong tables were to be placed. It wasn't arranged like this before, firstly, because it was too crowded, and secondly, there were always people going out to do things. Now the temperature has trapped everyone in the campfire room, and the entertainment is very simple, either playing cards or reading books.

Everyone can borrow a book from the library, the library is not popular, the movement is a masterpiece, or a professional book, except for Maya, who can hold the book for a day, no one else can do it.

The entertainment of playing cards has been carried out many times, and the stakes are always uncrossable, but it is better than no entertainment at all.

The rearranged dormitory has been transformed from a dartboard into a row of bunks, and the dormitory area has not decreased much, after all, the dartboard is a waste of land. The good thing about a dartboard is that it's fair, and the temperature is the same for each bed. However, due to the different cold resistance values of winter clothing, it is actually not fair.

Lin Wu had no problem with this, and he and Maya were assigned to the most marginal position on the left and right against the wall. Lin Meng, who has the second lowest cold resistance value, is Lin Wu's neighbor, and Shana is Maya's neighbor.

This tossing is to find something to do, so that everyone can reduce the time to sleep, because there is too much time to sleep. Xue Dan and Knife, who went to the first floor to move tables and chairs, came back and rushed to the campfire to roast their hands as soon as possible, which made the others a little frightened: "Is it so cold?" ”

Xue Dan described: "I was able to bear it when I first went out, but when I got to the first floor, I felt that the blood was about to coagulate." After speaking, he touched his face and took down some crushed ice slag.

Xiaodao agreed: "My hometown is in the ice area, and the minimum temperature in winter can reach minus 40 degrees, which feels completely different. ”

Su Shidao: "Have you seen the movie the day after tomorrow?" The cold air can freeze the flag. I remember that in the movie, it was minus 100 degrees, and if we were hit by a cold wave with such a low temperature, we would have to seal the door of the only campfire room, and we could only survive by fire. ”

Lin Wu remembered: "You can build a movie theater, Maya and I brought back a lot of movie posters from the science and technology city." ”

The stone reminded: "Now there is only a large lattice on the rooftop, are you sure you can endure the cold and watch the whole movie?" Hey, a set of tables and chairs. ”

Lin Wu said: "I'll go, I'll go, you guys have dinner, hurry up, it'll freeze in a while." ”

After half a day of mahjong playing, everyone yawned again and again, and in the afternoon, even the knife felt boring. Everyone went to take a nap, had an early dinner, and used two barrels of fuel to go to the safe house for four hours. This distance of tens of meters makes everyone feel the power of winter.

Before everyone left the safe house and went back to the campfire room, Lin Wu went to the campfire room to light the fire. After the notice, everyone walked back to the campfire room, crowded towards the bonfire, and jumped while roasting the fire.

After the lights went out at ten o'clock in the evening, everyone was not sleepy, and there was a chat without a match. So Su Shi began to tell ghost stories. This is a traditional repertoire of the dormitory. It's a pity that Su Shi's ghost story is not scary, but after listening to it, it feels a little funny. In the midst of everyone's laughter, Maya said, "I'll tell you a story about a supernatural that I have personally experienced." ”

Maya's story is plain and straightforward, but the story is extremely powerful. On top of that, several people present had heard of the legend of Apartment 13. There have been many supernatural incidents in apartment No. 13, and the official refutation of the rumors has been fruitless, some people believe that it is an official conspiracy, and some people believe that the powerful deliberately cover up the facts of the crime. Officials were forced to invite the most credible guards to apartment 13 to solve the puzzle.

What is really strange to everyone is that the guards evacuated apartment 13 after a week of moving into apartment 13 without any conclusions or reports, and the only thing to deal with the media is: we are not in a position to draw conclusions.

What makes Apartment 13 even more legendary is that on the third day after the guards left, the authorities demolished Apartment 13 by blasting and buried all the construction waste 200 meters underground.

Maya didn't decipher it to everyone, she just told her own experience. She concluded that there were masters playing tricks, and she couldn't rule out the possibility of the Fortress Corporation being involved, because only the Fortress Corporation could have set up such an elaborate puzzle to confront the Guardians.

Lin Wu asked, "What is Shuguang's attitude?" "This thing knows everything.

Maya replied, "Aurora thinks that the whole thing has nothing to do with human security, and she will not intervene in this matter. ”

Shanna said: "In other words, Shuguang has an accurate conclusion about apartment 13. ”

Maya: "That's right. ”

Xiaodao hurriedly said: "Don't discuss it." Maya, what happened to you on the third night after you heard the singing? ”

Maya said: "It was a song from the end of the passage of the apartment on the 13th floor, I could see it clearly with night vision devices, and the eighteen-meter passage was clean." Under the scan, not to mention that no one was found, not even the spider was found. About 10% of the residents of the apartment remained, and there were three households on this floor, and all the doors were open except for their doors, and all the belongings were removed. ”

Why are there still 10% of households? This part of the household was bought, and there were many Internet celebrities who spent money to live in their homes in the name of relatives and friends to conduct live broadcasts of secret explorations. In that month or two, the expedition to apartment building 13 was the biggest explosion of the Internet. With the bizarre deaths of several Internet celebrities, the atmosphere of apartment building 13 is even more eerie.

"Maya, you don't have to explain these situations, you tell the story. ”

"Yes, but it's not a story, I'm talking about my own experience."

Maya continued to say downward, the whole dormitory was shocked, not to mention Lin Meng and Xiaodao, the two little girls, even the stone felt frightened. The most important thing about the whole story is that everyone knows that the story told by Maya has no artistic processing elements, and with Maya's description, everyone feels like being in apartment building No. 13, feeling infinite horror.

Don't think about it left, Lin Meng didn't squeeze in the direction of Lin Wu, but slept with the knife.

……

On the second day of extreme cold, the temperature dropped again by about two degrees, and the stones that helped in the kitchen were severely frostbitten in many places. Due to the low temperature of the ward, there were two options, the first option was to light a fire in the ward for one hour and the stone would complete the treatment. The second option, breaking Stone's leg, would make him eligible for hospitalization, and he would be able to move freely and spend 24 hours in the campfire room after the doctor issued the bill.

Stone choose one. Knife, Lin Wu, Su Shi, Snow Egg and Lin Meng's hammer cut the cloth, and Lin Meng won. Lin Meng took the stick, and the stone insisted on choosing one, and was held down by everyone. Lin Wu held the painkiller in his hand: "Choose one without painkillers." ”

"Choose two, let's do it." The stone said tragically.

Lin Meng startled himself after knocking it down with a stick. She couldn't do it, and although the stone screamed, it was far from the point of breaking a bone. When Lin Meng was about to come to the second stick, the stone asked for a replacement: "Change Lin Wu, the rabbit cub." ”

"Huh?"

"Uncle Lin Wu, have a good time."

So Lin Wu broke the stone's leg and dragged the stone to the ward. Doctor Shanna arrived at the ward at the speed of light to open a bill and run away, and Lin Wu and Maya carried the stone back to the campfire room.

In addition to the stone injuries, there were many people who fell ill that day, all of them frostbite and colds caused by the cold. In desperation, he had to light a fire in the ward, and the general practitioner Maya took care of it in the ward. To this stone is stipulated: anyone who wants to get sick must get sick together.

On the fifth day of extreme cold, no one played mahjong anymore, and the meals became very simple. Basically, it's roasted sweet potatoes, roasted radish, baked potatoes, etc., and that's because even Maya and Lin Wu can't stay in the kitchen for a long time. There are two happiest times a day, a half-hour hot shower and a four-hour safe house.

In addition, everyone was in the campfire room all the time, or reading a book, or the two of them chatted in a low voice, and the laughter was significantly reduced. Xue Dan and Su Shi asked the three commanders, "Can you have a drink?" Have a glass of wine? ”

Shadow has always kept alcohol under strict control, occasionally having one drink per person, but most of the time it is forbidden. Although everyone is in the middle of the game, alcohol, like smoking, is something that is easy to withdraw physiologically and extremely difficult to quit psychologically. Long-term alcohol abuse in the game can lead to alcohol addiction.

After deliberation among the three leaders, it was decided to start a mahjong tournament with wine as a prize.

The first place, Shanna, drank half a bottle of whiskey, crying and laughing. The second Maya drank half a bottle of vodka and fell into a comatose sleep. The third Xuedan drank half a bottle of brandy, not saying that he could fly, and he wanted to perform for everyone to see. The fourth place, Lin Meng, drank half a kilogram of clay wine and beat Lin Wu violently, beating Lin Wu to the ground looking for teeth. The fifth Su Shi secretly drank Shanna's remaining whiskey, opened his voice and sang, and it was hard to hear Lin Wu raise his gun three times, twice trying to shoot him down, and once trying to kill himself.

Five drunkards, but the unlucky ones are three sober people: Lin Mist, Knife, and Stone. Shi was glad in his heart that the knife was not drunk, once the knife was drunk, not to mention the entire base was demolished, and it was not impossible to even step on the heads of a few people.

Lin Wu dragged Maya to her own bed and covered it with a quilt, which was considered to be a done. turned around and was grabbed by Lin Meng's hair and output a powder fist: "Destroying the Demon King, everyone is responsible." Tired, Lin Meng rolled around on the ground and muttered to himself, not knowing what to say. I got closer and listened carefully to a sentence: You can only hit it with agility, if you make a mistake, the strength will kill him, where is the reset?

Stone is responsible for taking care of the flying snow egg and not letting him open the window, not only for fear that he will fly out and fall to his death, but also for fear that everyone will freeze to death after the window is broken. Xiaodao talked to his intimate sister Shanna, and the two cried together. As for Su Shi, forget it, he just attacked with magic, and the forbearance passed.

After tossing for more than an hour, he finally got these drunken cats, and Knife slept with Shanna. Lin Wu scolded: "Who TM came up with a bad idea? "Kicked Lin Meng, the dead girl was too ruthless, and pulled out a lot of her hair. This is also yourself, at the age of changing stones, if you pull out his hair, he can't play with you?

The stone sat aside: "Stop scolding, rest for a while." ”

Lin Wu sighed, continued to clean up the mess, covered everyone, and packed up the mahjong that flew around.

Shi said: "I think back then, what I liked was not my ex-wife, but another girl. ”

"Something to do with wine?"

Shi didn't answer, and continued: "One day my ex-wife said that she was on her birthday today, and no one around me knew about it, and I thought she was quite pitiful. "Slap yourself in the face.

Shi said: "I invited her to supper, drank two bottles of beer, and she got drunk after two drinks." Keep saying: I want to go home, I want to go home. What can I do? Only to send her back to the apartment where she lived. ”

Lin Wu asked curiously: "Then what?" ”

"Then she said it was hot and started undressing." The stone paused for a few seconds and slapped himself again: "The past is unbearable. ”

Lin Wu gloated and smiled: "Has it been laid out?" But it's also a lot of fun. ”

"Hehe, yes, it's really interesting to think about it now." Shi said: "I didn't expect that the person I thought of the most in the past six months was her. People are very strange, and I know very well that if I continue to live with her, the ending will be very unseemly. But after separation, I couldn't help but miss her. ”

Lin Wu: "You didn't drink it, did you?" ”

"Nope." Shi glanced at the remnants of wine on the table: "Just this little drizzle, it's not enough for me to rinse my mouth." Don't you drink alcohol either? ”

"Don't drink it." Lin Wu said: "I had some bad boys secretly drinking in middle school, and one of them was my best friend, who had a dog. One time they were meeting at location X, and I went with them. Location X is their secret base, a building with cigarettes and alcohol. He drank too much that day and threw the dog out of the 21st floor: Go ahead, I'll give you the freedom you want. ”

Lin Wu said: "The next day he couldn't accept the fact that his dog died, and after I told him the truth, we had a fight. He said he broke off his friendship with me. ”

Stone asked, "What happened later?" ”

Lin Wu said: "The counselor arranged for him to transfer to District 16 and said that he was suffering from some syndrome because of the death of the dog. I have been reflecting on it for the next few years, and I was the only one who saw this scene clearly, and if I said that the dog jumped on his own, he would not have gotten sick. Even if he suspected that someone else or himself had killed the dog, it was only a suspicion. ”

Shi waved his hand: "Okay, old people like me will recall the past, and you should still look forward to the future." ”

System Broadcast: 700 players have survived so far.

Lin Wu: "These 100 people are really decreasing fast. According to Shanna's understanding, the fewer people left, the smaller the reduction should be. It took almost a month to go from 1000 to 900. It took more than a month to go from 900 to 800. It only takes about a week to go from 800 to 700.

Stone: "Is the rate of attrition due to the cold or something else?" ”

On the fifteenth day of March and the tenth day of the Extreme Cold Spell, the total number of surviving players dropped to 500. In just five days, 200 people were reduced. According to the system, the extreme cold wave will continue for at least 5 days, and the current minimum temperature is only minus 65 degrees, which means that the next 5 days will be even colder.

After deliberation, it was decided to light a fire in the kitchen for an hour, and everyone worked together to process the ingredients. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are washed and wrapped in tin foil, and then thrown into the campfire and baked. Pumpkin and other slices are sliced and processed cleanly, making it easy for chefs to cook. In addition to the old three, there are only some greens left in the kitchen freezer, all of which are washed and put in the pot, and the taste is taken to the outside of the headquarters to be placed, and the hot pot can be cooked by a bonfire at any time.

Finally, there are more than 20 cans, ten of which are canned herring. That's all for the Shadows, and of course eggs and vegetables are still produced every day. However, because they can't go out to dig insects, there is not enough leftovers, and the laying rate of chickens who can only rely on themselves is greatly reduced.
