$449, Winter Has Arrived 13
Maybe because of being busy, or because of being cold outside, Yu Heng had some cold symptoms that night. This body is not as malleable as a young body after all. He took cold medicine for himself and thought about the main task this time. "Surviving for two years" is a relatively easy task in his previous tasks. In the ancient zombie world, the body he inhabited was less than ten years old and he was required to survive for five years.
"One year." Yu Heng thought, in the next year, the environment will definitely continue to deteriorate step by step. And if you want to survive, you must make this body healthier and prepare for evacuation. This yard is strong enough to block the wind and snow, but I am afraid that the temperature will be lower in the future.
Thinking of this, he looked out the window. The white sky made it impossible to see anything. He closed his eyes and felt his puppet substitute. The puppet's "vision" could not provide him with sight. He has been monitoring the situation outside and knows clearly that he is not in a good state now.
After coming up with the idea of taking out the protective shield, Yu Heng thought about it carefully and decided to put the protective shield in his own home. If it was placed somewhere else (he considered putting it in the ancestral hall), there would be no way to deal with problems in time. With his home as the center, all nearby villages were covered. If the national force did not come to measure in a short time, there was no way to find out that the center of the protective shield was not in his home. Even if they came to his home to look for it, they would not be able to find it.
He did it as soon as he said it. The next day, under the pretext of going to the warehouse to find medicine, Yu Heng went into the cellar alone and put the protective shield in.
"The snow has stopped!"
Soon after leaving the cellar, Zheng Han happily told him the good news, and he also smiled: "That's great."
The snow stopped in Laokang Village, and the snow stopped a little suddenly. The previous moment, the sky was full of wind and snow, and the next moment it stopped abruptly, without even a transition. The only pity is that although the snow stopped, the sky was still gray, and it looked like a huge and boundless cloth covered it.
After sweeping the snow on the roof, Yu Heng broke out in a sweat, but his stuffy nose was cleared. After taking a hot shower, he felt refreshed. When he came out of the bathroom, he heard Zheng Han talking: "Okay, I know, I will tell Qingrong."
"Who's calling?"
Zheng Han put down the phone and whispered to Yu Heng: "It's Uncle Qi, he said to let Qingrong go to the ancestral hall to help." Uncle Zhou Qi is the head of the Zhou family and the village director. Zheng Han was a little dissatisfied, "Mom, how can Uncle Qi do things so hastily? He is anxious to repair the ancestral hall just after the snow stopped today. How can he repair it? There are no cement bricks. Qingrong is still sick!" There is no rush in these few days!
"I know, don't tell Qingrong about this. If your Uncle Qi calls again, just say Qingrong is too sick to get out of bed."
Yu Heng didn't take this episode to heart. After he saw several patients in turn, he received a call from Mingming. Yu Heng was thinking about Mingming and asked him how he was doing recently.
"Very good, I listened to you and stocked up a lot of things at home, and bought coal stove briquettes, so I didn't freeze after the power outage."
After a chat, Mingming said: "Aunt, I heard that the snow stopped in your place? Is this true?"
"The news spread so quickly? Yes, it stopped snowing this morning."
"It's all over the Internet, saying that the snow has stopped in your entire Xiangya Town, and it's even on the news!"
Yu Heng smiled: "I asked you to come to my house before, but you didn't come. Now you regret it."
"Aunt, I saw the photos someone took, it's so magical! It seems that something has isolated Xiangya Town, and it's snowing if you take a step outside! My God, it's snowing one step further and clear weather one step back. Aunt, do you know about this?"
"I don't know, I stayed at home and didn't go out."
The two talked about the magical phenomenon. After Mingming finished gossiping, he laughed and asked about Zhou Qingrong again.
"He's sick and has no voice. I'll ask him to call you back when he gets better."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Heng went online to read the news. He had been busy all the time, but he didn't expect the news of the snow stopping here to spread so quickly. The local forum was very lively, because only Xiangya Town had stopped snowing, and residents in other areas of the local area were very envious. Those who lived close to Xiangya Town even said they wanted to come here to avoid the disaster.
The protective shield covered the entire Xiangya Town. In fact, if people lived outside or near Xiangya Town, they would definitely find something strange. Therefore, the news about the snow stopping in Xiangya Town on the Internet became more popular.
After watching some videos and photos, Yu Heng closed the webpage and went to cook calmly.
The situation developed very quickly. Now the whole country is in a state of cold winter and snowy days, with only the difference of heavy snow and small snow. Xiangya Town, an ordinary remote town, stopped snowing, and the locals happily posted it online to attract hatred. It would not have attracted national attention. The reason why the whole nation is now discussing it is because of those videos and photos.
As Mingming said, there is snow in one step and no snow in another. This is too magical. Many people were stuck at home with nothing to do due to the snow, and this topic became the hottest topic all of a sudden. By the evening, the whole Laokang Village, young and old, knew the news. Uncle Zhou Qi contacted the cadres of other villages and got clearer photos from them.
"Incredible, incredible..." He looked at the ancestral hall whose roof had been patched up, and muttered, "It must be the blessing of the ancestors..."
The Zhou family was also discussing this matter. Zhou Qingrong was lying on the kang, scrolling through his phone, and Zhou Haojun was nestled in his arms, watching together. The expressions of the father and son were exactly the same. "Wow! Dad, was this done by aliens? It looks so cool!"
"It could also be done by a martial arts master. This is a barrier, a barrier!"
"Keep your voice down, mom is sleeping!" Zheng Han twisted her husband's arm and brought the child over. "Haohao, let's go to bed. Stop looking at your phone. It hurts your eyes." Zhou Haojun was so engrossed in watching that he refused to go to sleep. He clung to his father and refused to leave. Zheng Han was so angry that she twisted her husband twice.
Zhou Qingrong had no choice but to turn off his phone. "Okay, turn it off. Haohao, go to sleep." The candle was blown out. He lay on the kang and suddenly had an idea. He looked to his left - his mother was sleeping on the other side, separated by his wife and son. He had an idea. Could this matter be related to his mother? No, no, no, I must have thought too much. Zhou Qingrong sniffed his nose and closed his eyes to get sleepy.
With the appearance of the protective shield, Xiangya Town quickly came to life. Snow was cleared, circuits were repaired, and ambulances with the name of the town hospital printed on them kept shuttling in Xiangya Town... Zhou Jianan was also sent to the town hospital. Although Yu Heng saved his life, he couldn't repair his legs and feet under the rough conditions. That day, Zhou Jianan's relatives used scalding hot water to wipe his body. The family had good intentions. After all, using such scalding hands to apply heat would also hurt the family's hands.
On the morning of the third day, the village restored power supply. Yu Heng went to the town and bought two barrels of oil at the gas station. The owner of the gas station was unwilling to sell more: "This is enough for the generator. You can't take more. I'll return it to you with your ID card." He had to give up. It was already good to be able to buy this oil privately.
On the way back to Laokang Village on a motorcycle, Yu Heng saw that all the cars that were blocking the road had disappeared. When he returned home, he happened to meet Zhou Qingshui coming out of his house. The two sides greeted each other.
"Aunt, where have you been? It's cold outside."
Yu Heng casually evaded the question, parked the car at the door, and asked him: "Why did you leave? Come in and sit down!"
Zhou Qingshui waved his hands: "I still have to go to my cousin's house. I'll come and sit down next time."
After entering the house, Yu Heng saw Zheng Han and others packing up in the living room. Zheng Han said: "Qingshui has just been delivered. He said it was prepared a long time ago and was left on the bus on the road before."
"A specialty of Qing Province?" Yu Heng squatted down and pinched the meatballs that were frozen into stones, "Use warm water to melt them for hot pot tonight."
"Okay!"
It feels much better to eat in a bright environment. Human society has been accustomed to electricity and light for hundreds of years. It is not accustomed to eating with candles. After a delicious hot pot, Yu Heng began to clean up the vegetables grown at home. Almost all the ones he had grown before were frozen to death. He turned on the sodium lamp in the ear room and began to cultivate new seedlings. After a few days of busy work, he heard that the Xiangya Town Police Station sent people into Laokang Village.
The person leading the way was Uncle Zhou Qi, who led people directly to the new courtyard where the Zhou family was located. It had been five days since Yu Heng opened the protective shield, and it was really slow for people to come at this time. Yu Heng also had countermeasures. As early as when the investigation team entered Laokang Village, he had noticed it in advance through his puppet substitute, so he went into the cellar and put on the protective shield.
When he came out of the cellar with a box in his arms, Zhou Qingrong had just welcomed the clan leader in.
"Mom! Uncle Qi is here!"
To be honest, Zhou Qingrong was a little confused. He looked at the people led by Uncle Zhou Qi behind him. Are they police? My god, his family didn't commit any crime! Could it be that the ancestral space in the family was discovered and the country wanted them to hand it over? When he was thinking about it, he saw his mother coming out of the cellar, and he suddenly had a backbone and hurriedly called out loudly.
"Seventh brother, what's wrong?" Yu Heng stretched out the box forward, motioning Zhou Qingrong to come and take it. Zhou Qingrong ran over as if he had been pardoned.
Uncle Zhou Qi looked heavy-faced and a little scary. He said in a deep voice: "The police comrades have something to ask you, please cooperate." He didn't know what the police were looking for. They searched room by room and asked questions one by one, making the villagers look like they were in a criminal case, and their faces were a little embarrassed.
"Oh, what's the matter? Uncle Qi, we are all good people, but we have never done bad things!"
Looking at his older brother's widow, Uncle Zhou Qi forced a smile: "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law, just answer whatever the police comrades ask. Let's go into the living room."
Some people began to ask questions, while others searched the house, checking every room and every corner, including the cellar. When Yu Heng and Zhou Qingrong were questioned, they both said they didn't know why the snow stopped in Xiangya Town. Zhou Qingrong and the others really didn't know and looked confused. Yu Heng skillfully played the role of a superstitious old lady and asked the police officer: "Isn't it the blessing of the gods?"
The police officer quickly left Zhou's house and went to the next door. Zhou Qingrong touched the back of his head and said, "This is too strange. It turns out that the news on the Internet is not fake but true! The snow cover of the research institute was stolen? It's in our house, no! In our town?" His expression looked like he had dreamed of something incredible.
Snow cover, it looks so awesome on TV, how can it be stolen? A strange thought arose in his mind, isn't this too coincidental? He set his eyes on Yu Heng, who glanced at him lightly. Zhou Qingrong smiled and touched his head, and asked softly, "Mom, this really has nothing to do with our family, right?"
"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and move the box to the kitchen. There are noodles in it. Let your wife cook noodles at noon."
"Oh."
Yu Heng stood at the gate, watching the village chief lead the police officers to each house, and finally the car started to go somewhere else. He touched the palm-sized protective cover in the big pocket of his military coat as if nothing had happened, and then closed the door and went back to the house.
The original star-level protective shield was an interstellar product, so ordinary mission worlds could not thoroughly study it. It was easy to draw the skin but difficult to draw the bones. The final imitation not only had a single performance, but was also very large and clumsy. The principle was similar to the history of computer development. The simplified protective shield he sent out was the "big head" version. Although the abnormality in Xiangya Town attracted the attention of the government, they already had a preconceived concept of snow shields, which made them completely unaware that the protective shield might be hidden on people.
After that, the exploration teams stayed for several days and came to Zhou's house to check again. After all, the coverage of the snow shield was just like that, a circular coverage, and the core was that place. But they searched and searched but couldn't find it, so the exploration team finally left.
However, the departure of the police exploration team did not mean that Laokang Village was able to calm down. On the contrary, the entire Xiangya Town ushered in a large influx of population. Countless residents of surrounding towns and even Qing Province came in the snow and cold, just for this "oasis" without wind and snow.
