458, Winter Has Arrived 22

"Run and hide!"

The gong screamed hoarsely, making the whole village noisy. The villagers living in the back mountain saw layers of ice forming on the ground and coming towards their doorsteps. Some were so frightened that they ran into their houses and hid. In the cupboard where the quilts were kept, some people jumped into the cellar with their children and old people in their arms, while others ran out of the village in a panic.

The majestic power of nature shocked everyone's heart at this moment. They were afraid and frightened from the bottom of their hearts, but they were powerless.

The invisible force keeps pushing forward, like turning stone into gold, turning everything into ice when it touches it. When a villager closed the door, his hand suddenly stung. He took his hand back in shock, but was surprised to feel his feet getting cold. He looked down. Go, he screamed in pain: "Ahhh!"

His relatives stood behind and watched with wide eyes as his body began to freeze from his feet, and in the blink of an eye his lower body became an ice sculpture.

"husband!"

His wife rushed over and hugged him. The man's eyes widened and he said with difficulty: "Let's go -" His wife hugged him and dragged him home, but found that he could not move.

The rest of the family were so frightened that they hurriedly tried to pull him away. The man held his breath and shouted: "Don't do it, use hot water and hurry up!" After saying one sentence, his mouth was frozen, and only his eyes were staring. It was so big that it seemed to overflow the eyes.

A pot of hot water was brought down. Nowadays, most houses in Laokang Village have kangs. It is very popular to burn kangs to save electricity and money, so it is very convenient to get hot water. The family scooped cold water into the water tank, mixed it with water, and then poured it into the pot.

Click, click, click.

The ice layer that imprisoned the body broke and slipped from the body. The two couples who were frozen together were already unconscious and fell down in a daze. This is incredible! The family members quickly hugged him and dragged him to the cellar. The washbasin rolled twice on the ground and was nailed to the ground at an angle of 45 degrees. The flowing water also froze into ice.

In the Zhou family's cellar, Yu Heng closed the stove door tightly, and the fire wall started to burn. The smoke went up, and soon the fire wall became warm. Zhou Qingrong, who came down first, had already turned on the generator and turned on the electric heater. The whirring warmth spreads in the clean and orderly cellar.

The tension was still fermenting in his chest, and Zhou Qingrong was in shock: "Mom, what on earth is going on?" He was sleeping when his mother suddenly called him and rushed him to the cellar. His mind was still confused.

Yu Heng panted, moved a chair and stood on it, reaching out to touch the ceiling, which felt a little cold. He jumped down and sat on the chair and said about what he just saw, "It was a bit scary."

Zhou Qingrong's eyes widened: "That's very scary, Mom!" He jumped up and imitated Yu Heng to touch the ceiling. The ceiling layer was made very thick. When they renovated the cellar, they re-paved it several times. It was just a little cold when Yu Heng touched it. Now when he touched it, he felt his finger was pricked by a needle. There was something... Sharp tingling sensation.

"So ice!"

Yu Heng called Zhou Jianye, but he couldn't get through at this time. "I hope your third uncle is okay." Thinking of the pack of evil wolves last night, Yu Heng had to sigh that this was all his life! Zhou Jianye's family also has a cellar, which was later renovated. Compared with the cellar in the next village, it is definitely safer. As a result, except for Zhou Jianye's daughter Zhou Qinghu's family and Zhou Jianye's grandchildren, Zhou Jianye and his wife and Zhou Qingshui were not at home! Zhou Qingrong followed Zhou Jianye to the next village in the morning. Later, he was frightened by the bloody scenes, so he helped take Zhou Qingshui's children back to Laokang Village first.

Zhou Qingrong also put down his cell phone sadly. He raised his head and saw water droplets falling on the fire wall, one drop after another, and his expression changed drastically. He carefully reached out to touch the fire wall. The fire wall that had just begun to warm up was already cold and his tentacles were damp. He looked at Yu Heng and asked in disbelief: "Mom, what on earth is that? Cold air? Cold current? Is it so fucking powerful!"

Can a wall of fire be extinguished? !

Zhou Qingrong felt like he was dreaming or a nightmare.

Yu Heng didn't expect this power to be so powerful. He made two preparations in the cellar. He had an electric heater started by a gasoline generator, and he also built a fire wall with charcoal and firewood inside. After burning it, he could burn it. The wall is warm, and people can stay warm by leaning on it. I really didn’t expect that as soon as the fire wall started to burn, before the heat came up, the fire wall would become ice cold and even dripping! This must be caused by the intersection of cold and heat, which shows how terrifying the power that freezes the mountains and forests behind the mountain is.

He leaned against the stove door to listen to the noise, and didn't even dare to open the stove door to see what was going on inside the fire wall. "Forget it, it's okay if there's an electric heater. Come over here, let's wrap up in quilts."

Air-conditioning came from all directions, and Yu Heng felt cold, so he invited the whole family to climb onto the bed, facing the electric heater toward the bed, holding his eldest grandson in one hand, and pulling on the quilt with the other. Zhou Haojun hugged him tightly and asked in a low voice: "Nai, are we hiding from monsters? When will Superman come?"

"We hide here and the monsters can't get in."

The days in the cellar were not comfortable. First of all, Yu Heng and the others did not dare to approach the vent. From that day on, extreme cold air poured in and the pipes froze, but they could not be blocked, otherwise the air would not circulate. People would be suffocated if they stayed in the cellar, so they turned on another electric heater and blew it there, making the cellar always very humid after the ice melted. But it won't work if you don't let the electric heater face it, as the vents will soon be blocked.

Zhou Qingrong kept sucking up the melted snow water with a mop and twisting it into buckets. Many buckets were piled in Yu Heng's storage ring.

The second is the fear of unknown changes outside. Zhou Qingrong and the others simply have trouble sleeping and eating. Their narrow and claustrophobic life makes them have some negative emotions. Yu Heng must always pay attention to their mental status and provide timely guidance. Especially Zheng Han, she has some postpartum depression, and staying in the cellar is particularly stressful for her.

As for food sources, that's the least of their problems.

Flashlights were always on in the cellar, and candles were always put out quickly if they were not lit. In order to prevent the extremely cold air from the vents from causing discomfort to the human body, Yu Heng also used a thick quilt to separate the direction of the vents from the big bed. However, within almost a day, the thick quilt would turn into a drowned rat, making the floor wet. It became so heavy that even a wire couldn't hold it. Yu Heng had the luxury of constantly replacing them with new ones. Despite this, he and Zheng Han still suffered from head wind, and his knee joints were always in pain. He had no choice but to give himself acupuncture and plasters constantly. Post new ones.

However, these are not the biggest problems for Yu Heng. What worries him is that he does not know how long this situation will last.

When sleeping, he would always hear the sound of ice cubes (or ice picks?) hitting the ground above the cellar, one after another, as if they were hitting his heart.

Yu Heng recalled in his free time that it was almost four o'clock when the cold wave appeared. When he was hiding in the cellar, Jiujiu reminded him that the main task was completed. At that time, he had no time to think too much. At this time, the biggest difficulty in recalling the main task turned out to be at last.

I don’t know how much challenge and threat this super cold wave will bring to the survivors. While hiding in the cellar and feeling the increasing cold, Yu Heng thought more than once: How many people will survive after this time?

I stayed in the cellar for more than a month. Yu Heng began to suspect that the cold wave had receded because the sound of something falling had all disappeared after a week of intense frequency.

"Maybe because the temperature has risen, those ice cubes have melted and fallen to the ground. Now they have all fallen."

Zhou Qingrong was still a little scared: "Should we wait any longer?"

"We really have to wait a little longer." Yu Heng looked at the vents, where the air circulating was still freezing to the bone.

After two or three days, water dripping in the cellar, especially from the ceiling, became particularly serious. Yu Heng touched it several times a day, and finally saw that the ceiling had become warm. His first move was to get closer to the vent and check again and again. Putting his hand on the vent, the icy wind blew through his fingers. It was indeed cold, but it was more bearable than before. He placed the thermometer at the vent, and it finally read minus 41 degrees Celsius. Although he was mentally prepared, his heart still shuddered. The temperature is so low now, how low it must have been before!

After that, he checked the fire wall again. After opening the stove door of the fire wall, he was greeted by a stream of precipitated cold air and the cold smell of charcoal fire. The fire wall leads to the outside of the cellar. After opening, the outside air is immediately forced in through the smoke exhaust vent, and the temperature is no different from that at the vent. Although it is still cold, compared with the temperature more than a month ago that could almost instantly freeze a living person into a lump of ice, it is already a small case. He decided to open the cellar door and go out to see what was going on.

It took a lot of effort to open the cellar door. The snow on the ground melted, and the cellar door, which was pressed by the ice, was able to break free and be pushed open.

"You guys stay inside for now. Qingrong and I will go up and take a look. We will let you know when we can come up."

"I know, Mom." Zheng Han held his youngest daughter in one hand and his eldest son in the other, preventing him from following her out. After more than a month in the cellar, Zhou Haojun was too young to sit still and wanted to go up. At this time, he watched eagerly as his father and grandma climbed out of the cellar, wishing he could fly up together.

Zhou Qingrong was the first to climb up, hissing, shrinking his neck and reaching out to pick up Yu Heng. Yu Heng was also severely chilled by the temperature outside. He looked around at the small house above the cellar, which looked like an ice cave.

"Come and knock it open." Yu Heng took a hammer and broke the ice on the door with Zhou Qingrong, and finally kicked the door open.

Huhuhu——

The wind howled, and it felt like a knife cutting my face.

The entire farmyard is like a perfect ice sculpture. Every part shows the uncanny craftsmanship of nature. It is so delicate that it can be called a masterpiece.

"Oh my god, it's so scary." Zhou Qingrong wrapped the scarf tighter and walked out the door shivering, "I'll go to my third uncle's house to have a look."

"Go ahead."

Yu Heng kicked the firewood that was hardened into lumps of ice and used its strength to climb up to the roof. Standing on the roof and looking at the entire village, the shock was even stronger. I saw that the village was covered with a layer of white ice, and it looked sparkling. The mountains and forests in the distance were the same color, and the same pale sky echoed with each other, forming a heart-freezing winter picture that made people feel like they were there. Fear in my heart.

After admiring it with awe for a while, Yu Heng came down. He went down to the cellar to boil water. Pots of hot water melted open all the doors and windows of the main room. He sighed and looked at the igloo, so he had to pour gasoline to cover the kang. When the fire started, I hoped to use the power of the hot kang to quickly clean up the bedroom.

"You have to live in the cellar for the time being. It's too cold outside. You should stay down there with Xiaofu. If Haohao wants to come up, I'll take him up for a walk and then bring him back down to you."

Yu Heng took Zhou Haojun to the next door. Zhou Qingrong was taking off his scarf and fur hat. When he saw them coming over, he said, "Mom, the snow on the cellar door has melted. I'm going to open it right now." His expression Hidden worry, because Zhou Qinghu and others below the cellar did not respond to his call, wondering if something had happened.

"Yeah." He stood by the side holding Zhou Haojun's hand, and watched Zhou Qingrong bend down, pick up the handle on the ground and pull hard. The door made a dull sound, and a stinking and rotten air was thrown out.

"Sister Hu? Sister Hu? Yuehan?" Zhou Qingrong called several times but no one answered. He was anxious and had no patience to wait, so he went down directly.

"Mom! Mom, come!"

Hearing Zhou Qingrong calling him loudly, Yu Heng frowned. Intuitively, he couldn't let Zhou Haojun go down, so he said to him: "Wait here and don't run around. If you don't behave, I will never take you out again."

Zhou Haojun nodded obediently, and Yu Heng was relieved about him. After touching his head, he also went into the cellar.
