Chapter 68 Cold Current Trend

Qi Yuan only knew their names after the two arrived.

The older one was called Chu Wenxi, 26 years old, more mature in thinking, and was originally a civil servant.

The younger one was the girl who had been gossiping about him, only 19 years old, named Zhou Yue, and was originally a student.

When they first arrived at Qi Yuan's shelter, they were immediately attracted.

The 100-square-meter large yard and the same-sized shelter cabin were much larger than their own shelter.

Even compared to Lu Zhipeng's shelter, it was more than twice as spacious.

Not only the shelter itself, but also in the yard, there were actually many animals moving around.

Several huge beehives were hung on the tree trunks beside the fence, surrounded by many bee colonies, "buzzing".

Occasionally, bees would fly out of the fence to look for food outside.

In the animal pen, a pheasant with colorful feathers walked around leisurely, pecking at food on the ground from time to time.

A closer look revealed that the pheasant seemed to be the same food they ate every day.

In addition, there was a huge two-meter-tall wild boar, which was lying in the animal pen, snorting and twitching its tail from time to time, looking very leisurely.

The two were so surprised that they couldn't speak when they saw this scene.

They didn't expect that someone could develop such a large-scale shelter in such a short time and have so many rich resources.

Compared with the small wooden house where they lived, it was completely two different worlds.

"Sister Xi, what level of shelter is this? Why is it so big?"

"It should be level 4... It is said that he is one of the top 10,000 people in the world and the best-developed group..."

"So amazing."

"Indeed..."

Seeing the two standing in a daze in the yard, Qi Yuan shouted helplessly: "Don't be in a daze, come here quickly."

"Oh oh."

The two hurriedly responded and ran over.

Qi Yuan took the two of them to the studio, handed them the charcoal making scroll, and asked them to learn from it.

The process of making charcoal is much simpler than that of healing potions. You just need to control the time.

As long as the two are not stupid, they can easily complete it after trying a few more times.

There are still 40,000 units of ordinary wood in the shelter, which need to be made into charcoal.

Good-grade wood can be exchanged for spirit coins, so Qi Yuan made a plan to stop making good-grade charcoal in the future.

Because for the system, even if the wood is made into charcoal, it will not increase its value. After all, no matter how the wood changes, the internal spiritual power remains unchanged.

After the two read the process, they can start working.

However, there are two strangers in the shelter, so Qi Yuan will naturally not be completely at ease, and he must take some precautions.

In a place where the two of them can't see, two black tiger bees the size of an adult's fist are silently watching them.

Once they have any extraordinary behavior, they will notify Qi Yuan immediately.

Qi Yuan has told the two that they are only allowed to act in four places: the living room, the studio, the bathroom, and the kitchen.

Once there is any inappropriate behavior, the black tiger bee will immediately be alert and go to inform Qi Yuan.

This is considered a safety measure.

In addition, Qi Yuan has already contacted Yang Zhenghe and Zhao Cheng to continue to provide charcoal trading.

Provide 3,000 units of ordinary charcoal to each person every day.

Zhao Cheng still uses white pine sand and ice crystals to buy.

Yang Zhenghe pays with 500 units of good-grade wood.

With this calculation, the income for almost a day is 150 spirit coins.

This income can last until the cold wave is completely over.

...

Two days later.

During these two days, the cold wave is still raging, and there is some light snow, and the weather is also very cold.

However, the cold wave has recovered and the overall temperature has improved slightly.

During these days, the four people in the secondary shelter made ice cubes, and the number of ice cubes reached more than 500, which only filled up a small area of ​​the basement.

Qi Yuan plans to fill half of the basement with ice cubes. Only a walking passage in the middle is left for easy access.

So the ice-making work still needs to continue.

Zhou Yue and Chu Wenxi are responsible for making charcoal, and the process is also smooth without any accidents.

The two worked in the studio during the day, and slept on a thick carpet and quilt by the fireplace in the living room at night.

Anyway, they had looted the shelter of more than a dozen people before, so there was no shortage of ordinary warm-keeping items, so they could just take some and use them.

The two of them could work for about 12 hours a day, and could barely make 6,000 units of charcoal, just enough to sell.

At this time, Qi Yuan really felt that free labor was really good!

He didn't have to do anything, and the spirit coins came in.

However, Qi Yuan didn't treat them badly, and they were fully supplied with food and drink, and sometimes even provided good-grade food.

In the past few days, Qi Yuan continued to live an orderly life, taking care of the shelter, exercising, practicing archery, and occasionally browsing the forum.

...

On the 15th day of the cold wave, there was finally a big surprise.

The sky finally brightened!

The night gradually faded, and the sun fell again, shining on the white snow on the ground, which looked crystal clear, and the whole world was lit up.

"The sun is out?!" Qi Yuan felt the light outside the window and immediately looked over in surprise.

Qi Yuan never thought that he would be so excited to see the sun.

Having been used to the long darkness, Qi Yuan couldn't help squinting his eyes when he suddenly saw the dazzling sunlight. He couldn't look directly at the world outside the window.

The eternal night is over, and it seems that the cold wave is about to end!

At this moment, all the survivors are cheering, as if they have seen the hope of survival.

For a whole half month, most survivors have not been well fed and clothed, and the stored supplies are very few, and they will soon start to eat dirt.

If the cold wave does not end, many people will not be able to hold on.

Qi Yuan took out the "Mist Survival Manual" and looked at the total number of people in the forum. He found that it has dropped from 5.3 billion in the early stage of the cold wave to 4 billion.

It's hard to say whether it's sad or fortunate.

It's sad, after all, more than one billion survivors died, and died in a corner of the mist world without being known.

It's fortunate because this fierce cold wave disaster only took away the lives of 1.3 billion people.

Qi Yuan originally thought that most survivors could not resist the super low temperature cold wave of minus 60℃.

It is speculated that after this cold wave, the total number of survivors may be directly cut in half.

But the fact is that many people have survived tenaciously.

5.3 billion people, 1.3 billion people died, which is about 24%, which is still within an acceptable range.

"Alas, don't let too many die. If in the end, there are only a few tens of thousands of people left in the entire foggy world, that would be really terrible..."

Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

If there is really a day when there are only a few tens of thousands of people left in a civilization, then life... can it still find new hope?

Qi Yuan looked at the sunlight in the sky, and his eyes gradually adapted to the light.

Seeing the snow layer as high as two or three meters outside the wall, he immediately wilted.

How long will it take for this snow layer to melt? It will take at least ten days to melt!

I can only wait a few more days until the snow is less, and then find a way to go out.

But at this time, there is a problem that must be faced.

Flood! !

Once such a large amount of snow melts into snow water, it will inevitably cause a large-scale flood disaster, which is more terrible than the cold wave.

But this is also strange to Qi Yuan.

The prophecy scroll shows that the next disaster will be high temperature. This means that the flood will not cause too much disaster.

Or, the flood will not happen?

Regardless of which speculation, Qi Yuan needs to make enough preparations for possible disasters.
