Chapter 739 Snow over the cold winter

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 6
The city was covered by black clouds, the cold wind blew, stirring up waves of yellow smoke and thick fog, and there was a faint smell of frost and snow in the air...

call

Snowflakes in the shape of hexagonal diamonds were falling one after another, and the hazy clouds enveloped the entire Yongcheng, ethereal and desolate.

Yongcheng is located in the extreme south of the Celestial Empire. It has always been hot and humid weather. Even in winter, it rarely snows. Even if it really snows, it is just a very fine and fine snow. How could it have been like this heavy snow today?

There had been a pile of snow almost as deep as knees on the ground. The whole world was white, like a sea of ​​frost and snow, with snow reflecting the sky and earth, covered in silver. Today, Yongcheng is like a castle in an ice and snow empire.

Lao Wang, you are wearing too few clothes, see how you are frozen.

Alas, I know it's very cold... but I've already put on all the clothes I can wear... Actually, it's okay. If I do more work, my body will naturally warm up, hehe.

The middle-aged man named Lao Wang smiled honestly, revealing his white teeth. He also spitted out misty white smoke as he spoke, his hair was covered with white frost, and his rough cheeks had already frozen a series of fine cracks.

He was wearing seven or eight thick clothes, wrapping himself up like a fat man. However, these clothes were all dirty and worn, and they looked like they had no warmth. Therefore, he still knew how to tremble all over after wearing so much.

This weather... is so cold that it must be at least minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius?Grandma's... This temperature is not uncommon in the north, but the air in our south is humid, and when it gets cold, it's like soaking in ice water. Last night, I hid in the quilt and woke up from the cold in the middle of the night...

Another middle-aged strong man hugged his arms, his teeth trembling. He was wearing an old military scarf around his neck and a baseball cap on his head... It was funny to wear a baseball cap on such a cold day. In fact, he also wanted to wear a warm hat, but supplies were in short supply in Yongcheng, and many warm clothes were not enough.

Tsk tsk, the weather is getting worse and worse... Not to mention that I haven't seen the sun for several months, it's still snowing heavily now... What should I do?Do we still need to continue working?Can you really continue to build the city wall if it is snowing so heavily?

Hey, where can we get steamed buns if we don’t work?My whole family is counting on my job...

It's Ah, the people in the army are not that kind. They don't want to raise waste... If you want to eat and dress well, you have to work for them...

A large group of men surrounded one by one, letting the wind and snow swell down their faces, and the crystal water droplets of Huacheng slid across their necks, making them breathless.

Now, it is the cold winter season.

In places like Tiannan Province, in the past, it was only late autumn. People usually only wore autumn clothes. Some stronger children even wore short-sleeved shirts, but this year is different... Because this year is the first year of the end of the world, the earth's magnetic field, climate, ecology, crust and other things have long been chaotic. Therefore, heavy snow fell in Yongcheng in December, and the temperature dropped to minus forty degrees Celsius.

Although it is not uncommon, many people are not mentally prepared or take precautions... They are immediately caught off guard.

Let me ask, in a messy city like Yongcheng, seven million ordinary citizens can’t even eat enough, and people starve to death every day, so the quality of life is naturally extremely bad. As for the problem of warmth, it is naturally impossible to take into account. The lowest temperature in the past few months was only minus ten degrees Celsius. Wear more clothes and endure it can get through it...

But now, the weather is so cold that it can freeze even when peeing, which is so cold that ordinary people can't bear it, so the cold weather suddenly rises to the biggest enemy of survival!

Those survivors who live in buildings live a more comfortable life... But there are also many survivors who have not been assigned to their housing yet, and can only live miserably in wooden sheds, piers, basements, and abandoned houses. These buildings cannot shelter from the wind and rain at all. When the cold wind blows, they will surely be able to cool down your heart...

I don’t know how many people would freeze to death after the heavy snow last night. Perhaps, after this cold wave passed, those who were frozen to death would not even have the chance to collect the body...

It’s coming, it’s quiet, and the army finally comes!

Suddenly, a sentence was shouted in the crowd. Many men trembling in the cold wind quickly turned their heads, but in the heavy snow, there was indeed a team of soldiers pushing several small wooden cars and walking towards this side with difficulty.

Everyone, no matter how cold and heavy snowy work, it will definitely be very wronged and hard... But no matter how wrong and tiring you are, you must persevere. The work of building the city wall is urgent. We finally waited for this opportunity to breathe, and we must not neglect the hard-earned opportunity because of this little wind and snow...

An officer standing with his hands behind his back, raised his head with great momentum and said to the nearly 100 men.

Lieutenant Liu... That's right, but the snow kept falling, and it was almost freezing people to death. The snow on the ground was almost as thick as knees... Look... a migrant worker named Lao Wang bent over and said in a humble tone.

Well, the army will naturally understand everyone... Each of the workers who continue working today can receive three more steamed buns... The officer patted the carriage of the small wooden car and said with a smile.

Wow, that’s great!

Three steamed buns are too important for the survivors of the Doomsday era. Don’t think that steamed buns are only the size of fists are cheap, but this is enough for an adult man to have a full meal. If you save some food, or even enough energy consumption for a whole day, it is tantamount to a strong man who wants to support his family...

To be honest, the military's remaining amount is not much. Although it can produce more than one million kilograms of grain every day by relying on those magical plants to absorb the flesh and blood of insects as nutrition, it is still a lot of monks and porridge that is not enough to distribute... Yongcheng is a very realistic city, and its focus is on useful people. Even if it occasionally sympathizes with the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, it is impossible to completely take care of the lives of the weak...

Yes, Yongcheng provides free food to the weak every day, two steamed buns for adults and one steamed bun for children, but this is not enough to eat at all. If you want to avoid hunger, then you can work for the army, build city walls, build houses, help transport, enlist in the army, plant crops, and please the officers...

In addition to getting three more steamed buns, the army will also assign some insect eyes to each household. These insect eyes are high-energy fuels and can produce a blazing flame when ignited, which lasts for several hours, enough to keep warm at night.

The officer raised his eyebrows and said, he took out a flying dragon lice's eye from his pocket, which was as big as an orange. He used his gloves to push the snow layer under his feet, put the eye on the ground, and then ignited the eye with a match. A blue flame burst out suddenly, and then burned it to a great extent. The flame was one meter high, and the heat erupted was quite astonishing, ten times more vigorous than the heating machine!

This is the function of the high-energy insect eye.

The insect eyes of the first-level mid-level sickle beetle are used for lighting, the insect eyes of the first-level high-level red-top beetle are used for barbecue and cooking, and the insect eyes of the second-level low-level flying dragon lice can be used to drive away the cold. The biological energy contained in this thing is so high, and I don’t know what the ingredients are. In short, its combustion value is thousands of times that of coal!

As for the insect eyes at the middle level or above level, it is a strategic resource, and its functions are more extensive and rare. They are mostly used for casting, melting, enchanting, talisman making, magic blessing, etc. Only inheritors can use it and will definitely not be lost to the people.

Well, when did the army become so generous...

The crowd started to talk quietly, their eyes shining, and they all felt astonishment that the iron tree blossomed and water flowed backwards. Since Commander Lu Dingyun's accident, the army has rarely delivered supplies to ordinary survivors on a large scale. Even if there is one, it is just a few food. Now, the army has distributed so many accumulated low-level insect eyes for free in heavy snow days. Although it is reasonable, it still makes people feel a little unbelievable.

The army has always been generous, especially since Commander Lu and Commander Chu passed away one after another. After Commander Ran took power... The second lieutenant coughed, and then opened the box on a small wooden car to reveal the low-level insect crystals contained inside, and shouted:

Come on, everyone takes three worm crystals. It is best to be able to fusion to strengthen their strength. Even if they cannot fusion, it is considered an extra wealth for you...

Wow!Three worm crystals?

The migrant workers who built the city wall were all stunned, and then they all burst into cheers, and they all stared at each other with their eyes wide open.

Although three low-level insect crystals are very garbage for inheritors, super experts at levels like Li Jiayu, Ran Hongxia, Yang An, and Gu Qing may not even look at the low-level insect crystals, but this thing is still a good treasure that ordinary people desire. In the black market, a better low-level insect crystal can even exchange for ten kilograms of food. If it is a red-top beetle crystal that can improve arm strength and a spot beetle crystal that can improve leg strength, it will be even more valuable, and it can be fried to at least 30 kilograms of food!

Thirty kilograms of food are enough for an ordinary person to save nearly two months of eating, so there is a saying in Yongcheng: A low-level insect crystal is equivalent to a human life.

Not every ordinary person can integrate insect crystals to strengthen his physique. It’s up to the point that only one-half of people have the qualifications to integrate insect crystals. The remaining half of people will be weak ordinary people all their lives, and they will never be able to become stronger and have the power to protect themselves...

Yes, it’s three worm crystals. You should be glad that the army has changed its policy... The policy implemented by Commander Den is now...

The officer took a leisurely glance at the migrant workers and said word by word:

All the people are soldiers!
