Chapter 316 Cold!

There was no one outside the safe city.

But few people walked around inside the city either, and most of them stayed at home and dared not come out.

This snow had been falling for dozens of hours from the day before yesterday to today.

The snow hung on the eaves, and they closed the windows tightly, but the cold seemed to be everywhere, and it got into the room from every gap.

Building 19, 2nd floor, safe city.

Mr. Wang was trembling all over.

Before entering the safe city, he brought in half a truck of supplies. Although Captain Tao withheld half of it at the door, it was more than enough for him to eat for several months.

Yesterday, he exchanged some charcoal for firewood at a trading market on their side, but he kept it in a frugal way.

Although it is said that there will be conflicts in the patrol management in the safe city, it still happens from time to time.

Because many times when some people have no food and don’t want to go out to look for it, they just rob it directly, and they want to die with a full stomach even if they die.

Mr. Wang didn’t bring a lot of food to exchange, because he was afraid of being targeted.

"cnm, get out and find something to burn, I'm freezing to death."

Suddenly, a man's roar came from downstairs, followed by a shrill begging for mercy.

Bang!

I don't know what was smashed to the ground.

It's a sound.

I heard the door opening downstairs.

Mr. Wang thought about it, took two steps to the window, and saw a figure wearing thick clothes coming out from downstairs. Although the clothes were thick, they seemed to be cut by something, and cotton wool was flying.

This figure paused at the door, and suddenly turned his head to look at the door he had just walked out of. In the flying snow, his eyes revealed extreme hatred.

Her hair was disheveled, there was a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth, and her resentful eyes made people shudder.

Mr. Wang looked at the woman quietly through the window.

Since the second day he just came in, this kind of quarrel has happened from time to time downstairs. No, it's not a quarrel, but a one-sided abuse and scolding.

Mr. Wang doesn't want to care, and he can't care.

It was the second day he arrived at the building, and he was not familiar with the situation here, so although he was very upset when he saw and heard this, he could not do anything for the time being.

A few nights ago, the sound of beating and scolding downstairs reached midnight, which seriously affected his sleep.

"Alas," Mr. Wang sighed faintly. No matter what time it is, there will be people who beat their wives.

In the wind and snow, the woman slowly turned her head, stood there blankly for a while, and then walked forward along the roadside.

Mr. Wang saw that the woman really went outside and shook his head. It's not that he didn't look for her outside, but he came back soon after a walk. In this kind of weather, staying outdoors for a long time is a dead end.

So he didn't dare to run out of the safe city, but just looked inside the safe city.

A few days ago, the safe city organized some people to cut down the surrounding woods and use them as fuel. All the plants within a few kilometers around were cut down.

And later.

Originally, this safe city also had some trees, that is, the kind of street trees, which were basically cut down by people. Now the gate of the safe city is closed, and no one is willing to go out again.

Moreover, the rule in this safe city is that once you go out, you will be charged a certain amount of protection fee when you come back.

No matter what you pay, you must give them a portion of it.

These days, it is really too cold. Some people go out to find fuel that can be burned, and then hand in a large part of it when they come back.

Some people never come back after going out.

Mr. Wang swallowed his saliva and felt his throat was very dry. His mouth was a little chapped, and Mr. Wang remembered that he had not drunk water for a long time.

He walked to the balcony and wanted to open the balcony window.

Click!

The window made a sound that made people hear teeth aching.

The window was frozen and frozen to the aluminum alloy. Mr. Wang pushed hard to open the window, and only opened a gap of only 6 cm.

Whoosh~

The snowflakes outside the window kept flying in, and the snow on the windowsill was very thick.

The white and crystal clear snowflakes would be very surprising and beautiful if you saw them for the first time.

But if you see snowflakes in the always cold weather, it will only make people feel desperate.

Mr. Wang grabbed a handful of snowflakes with his right hand and put them into a small pot.

He pressed the snowflakes, then grabbed a few more handfuls until the pot was compacted and filled.

Click, click, click~

Mr. Wang put the pot on the ground and closed the window with both hands.

The windows must be closed, not just the windows, but any small gaps in the house must be blocked as much as possible to prevent the slightly warm air in the room from being blown away by the outside air.

But even so, no matter how tightly it is closed, there will always be gaps in the house.

Mr. Wang carried the pot to the smallest room in the house. This room faces north and south, and can get sunlight during the day.

Because the space is small, it is easier to preserve some heat.

Mr. Wang put all his food in this room, so the room looks a little crowded.

On his bed, there is an iron plate in the center, on which there is a small candle, some small wood chips, and some worn cotton wool.

Click~

Mr. Wang used a flint to burn some cotton wool, and then put a small piece of charcoal in it.

A small blue flame floated up.

Mr. Wang hung the small pot above the small flame.

After doing all this, Mr. Wang wrapped the cold quilt behind him and tried to get as close to the small flame as possible.

Mr. Wang is actually doing well now. At least he still has some fuel and enough food for three months.

As the flames crackled, the snow on the small pot began to melt.

And in the safe city, there are thousands of people.

More than 80% of the people are huddled in the quilt and shivering.

Some people have become a cold corpse, with a dazed look and purple lips, and then lie in bed waiting for death to come, and some people die of hunger.

This blizzard has brought too much pain to mankind.

This blizzard has made people who are hungry, cold and hungry lose the hope of living.

Mr. Wang is waiting for the snow to melt slowly, and his body feels much warmer.

But a small piece of charcoal can't last that long, and it's about to go out. Mr. Wang gritted his teeth, lit the small piece of candle, and continued to burn.

As time passed, the water temperature in the small pot began to rise slowly. Mr. Wang looked for the food, but didn't find the noodles he wanted, only bread, but the bread was also frozen like a stone.

Throw the bread directly into the pot and wait for it to melt.

After a while, the bread softened and melted.

Mr. Wang quickly extinguished the candle, put it aside, gently swept the ashes on the iron plate off the bed, and then spread the blanket on it, and then half-lying on the place where the fire had just burned.
