Chapter 103 Cold Wave
On the 20th day of the lunar year in Xia Country, from early morning, the entire earth was hit by a huge cold wave from Siberia, attacking the entire northern hemisphere. The Antarctic continent has become increasingly abnormal since the meteorite fell from the sky, and the weather is unpredictable. As if unwilling to be outdone, a large-scale cold wave also broke out following the cold wave in Siberia, and Africa and South America were also unlucky.
All human beings on the earth felt the earth's deep malice towards human beings, as if it wanted to completely exterminate human beings. Because the zombies and mutant animals evolved by the zombie virus are more active in low temperatures, it seems that the Ice Age has come entirely for them. This has to make human wise men worry. Has the earth abandoned the human overlord, or because human beings have caused serious environmental damage to the earth for hundreds of years since the Industrial Revolution, the earth is now punishing human beings.
Yuanxin Base has withdrawn those who are still on the ground to the underground base. Even the survivors who did not join the base, Gu Ming also let them enter the base. After all, according to the ultra-low temperature and super blizzard outside, people who stay outside are basically waiting to die.
Gu Ming asked Shangguan Xiaoxue to settle the survivors. He took the chariot, and Gu Xiao drove a special bus behind him. The two set off from the base.
Because Gu Ming thought that there were still some survivors in the county town, he wanted to go and see their situation, but he didn't know if it was too late. He could only do his best and wait for God's will. Gu Ming looked at the darkness outside, the violent wind and snow, and the whole world seemed to be rolled up in the weather like a sandstorm. Gu Ming could hear the sound of rain and snow hitting the outer shell of the chariot. If people stayed outside without wearing any protective clothing, they might be killed by rain and snow.
Because the blizzard was too big, Gu Ming's drone couldn't take off at all. Even if it took off, he didn't know where it would be blown to, so Gu Ming couldn't see the situation outside at all.
Fortunately, Gu Ming learned the locations of several small bases in the county from other survivors some time ago. The tank entered the county avenue from the suburbs. In such a heavy snowstorm, some white shadows could be seen flashing under the headlights of the tank. Gu Ming knew that they might be zombies. It was not surprising that the lower the temperature, the more active the zombie virus.
The tank entered from the gate of the county armed forces department, and the bus followed in behind. The two vehicles stopped at the square of the armed forces department.
Gu Ming took out his weapons and put on the equipment exchanged from the tank system store. It was a bit like the equipment worn when going out in the movie Wandering Earth a few years ago. It had built-in oxygen equipment, anti-low temperature function, and some other functions. It can be said that it was the best in such an environment. From the equipment thermometer, it can be seen that the temperature outside has reached minus 56 degrees. It seems that it is not the lowest temperature. It is almost the same as Siberia. For the survivors of Xia Country, this is already a fatal low temperature.
Gu Xiao also wore the same equipment. Although he did not need it as a robot, he had to pretend to be so. Otherwise, if the survivors saw him, even a fool would know that he was abnormal.
The whole building was like a coffin covered with frost, cold and cruel.
The two walked into the hall, where several frozen corpses were lying on the floor, wearing thin clothes, with pale faces and thin bodies. There was also a child of seven or eight years old, whose bent body looked like a sleeping specimen. The end of the world was full of death, and Gu Ming was used to it.
"Roar——"
The two heard the roar of zombies. There were zombies not far away. Gu Ming gestured to Gu Xiao to solve the problem. Gu Xiao nodded and followed the sound. Soon Gu Ming's system received energy points, and he knew that the zombies had been killed by Gu Xiao.
If the Armed Forces Department had a human air defense system, it could only be on the first floor. Gu Ming and his companions searched for a while and found the entrance to the base in a warehouse. Gu Xiao used a laser knife to cut open the door. The entire Armed Forces Department base was converted from a human air defense cave. What disappointed Gu Ming was that all the survivors inside were killed, because the entire base was completely unprepared to encounter a super cold wave, and the temperature would drop to more than 50 degrees below zero. Even if they wanted to escape, they would freeze to death like the people in the hall. However, staying in the base would only delay the time of death. Moreover, Gu Ming saw several extinguished fires in the room and the bodies lying beside the fires. He felt that they should have died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Of course, there was no point in such speculation, after all, the people were dead.
The two searched for a while and found some food and supplies. Gu Ming put them into the system space, then the two got in the car and left the armed forces department, and went to the other two small bases in the county to look for survivors again. However, there were no surprises. There were only corpses left on the ground in the two small bases, and no living people. Gu Ming felt that with the blizzard outside, there were basically no survivors in the entire county. There might be survivors hiding in places with heating equipment, but Gu Ming and the others did not have time to look for them one by one. Even though Gu Ming solved a part of the zombie swarm in the county last time, there are still more than 100,000 zombies in the county. Now there are more and more zombies on the streets. Gu Ming and Gu Xiao drove out of the county and returned to Yuanxin Base.
The entire Xia country was shrouded in a blizzard, and most of the official bases were caught off guard. The temperature dropped suddenly, and many bases had temperatures of minus 30 degrees Celsius. Many people were frostbitten, and many elderly people and children were frozen to death. As for surviving outside, the survivors without underground bases were basically wiped out by the cold wave. Of course, there are still many survivors who converted the basement into an underground base. If these people have cold-proof equipment or measures, their lives can still be saved.
In a rat farm in an official base of Xia country, a worker wore a thick sweater because he was worried that the lower temperature would freeze the rats to death. You must know that the main source of meat for the base is rats. If most of the rats are frozen to death, then the base will suffer huge losses.
"Chi-Chi-"
The staff did not expect that the mice in the breeding room were not dead at all, and they were still very active. Soon he found that the mice's hair grew very lush as if they had been injected with hormones. They could be called hairy mice. He quickly reported this abnormal situation to his superiors. Soon the leaders of the base knew about it and brought biological experts to study the abnormality. However, the experts did not find anything. The mice just had longer hair, so they would not be frozen to death. They were much more active and had a stronger reproductive desire. This was also good news. After all, the main meat for humans now is mice.
Bases in countries all over the world have the same situation. No matter what, life still has to go on. If there is still a paradise, then Gu Ming's Yuanxin base is paradise for the survivors.
