Chapter 110 Bone-chilling cold
Zuo You urged, "The extreme cold is coming. Hurry up and put on your clothes, and notify your teammates, especially the ordinary people, to get there quickly."
"Shasha—I understand!"
Zuo You put down the walkie-talkie, feeling quite relaxed.
She turned her head and saw the two people and the dog wrapped up like dumplings, lying on her bed, staring straight at her.
Zuo You's eyelids twitched. What? Did they expect her to serve them?
"Egg, get down here! Didn't I tell you you're not allowed on my bed?"
"Wang-"
Erdan jumped off the bed and followed her owner downstairs. She had calmed down by now and felt alright.
Even shivering, I can adapt to this temperature.
The atmosphere was there, but she still had to make a statement to prove that she was sociable.
Erdan's dog bed hasn't been moved; it's still in the living room.
Zuo You put a thick cotton pad on the dog's mattress, then laid a cashmere blanket on top, and took out a down jacket to use as a blanket.
As for the dog's electric blanket, she had one ready, but after thinking about it, she decided not to put it on.
Being exposed to the cold helps one adapt to extreme cold more quickly.
Zuo You, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, carrying a large bag of ginger and brown sugar, knocked on the door of the villa across the street.
He Heze's side was in a state of chaos and confusion.
Seeing Zuo You's outfit, everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets with envy.
They felt that ice and fire elements had a significant advantage when facing hot and cold temperatures, and were not afraid at all.
It's great that it's not afraid of the heat in summer or the cold in winter.
If Zuo You knew about everyone's thoughts, she would definitely retort: "In summer, the ice of ice-type ability users will melt, and after melting, they will still be afraid of heat; in winter, you can't expect fire-type ability users to spontaneously combust for warmth, can you?"
With a temperature difference of 80 degrees Celsius, many people will die very quickly from sudden hypothermia without even realizing it.
Awakened individuals are better able to adapt to such sudden temperature changes, but it is extremely unfriendly to ordinary survivors.
The faces of the ordinary people present turned purple from the cold.
Especially Little Apple, Sun Zhibin and Yu Shuqin, the old and the young.
Despite wearing layers upon layers of clothing, including thick blankets, I was still so cold that I couldn't utter a single word; all that was left was my teeth chattering.
Jiang Xinyu gave each of the ordinary survivors a healing skill, to cure illnesses and defend against diseases.
Liang Jingyu and He Heze shivered as they moved the stove and charcoal from the basement to the living room to light a fire and keep warm.
Jiang Xinyu was the first to run over, huddled beside the fire, and remained motionless.
Feeling like I still have some superpowers, I gave myself another boost.
She's on the verge of a breakdown, feeling like her soul is about to leave her body and fly north with the cold wind.
She, a person from the northern region, simply couldn't stand the biting cold.
Fortunately, Zuo You had taken appropriate measures to cope with the extreme cold while in Xizi Bay.
During the hottest period, several awakened individuals went out, and supplies were brought in one after another.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even have charcoal now.
The others didn't want to sleep in separate rooms anymore, so they all pitched their tents in the living room. It was more lively there, and it wasn't so cold.
Zuo You handed the brown sugar and ginger to Li Wenli, and then took out two thermos cups. "Sister Li, when it's ready, let them have a few more cups, and please get some for me too."
"Okay, I'll go right away. We really need ginger right now."
Li Wenli shook her hands and feet, condensing water as she washed the ginger, then looked at Zuo You in surprise: "Boss Zuo, why don't I feel the water is cold at all?"
Zuo You chuckled, "Why do you feel cold when it's your own superpower?"
"Uh, is that so?"
"if not?"
Zuo You brought a lot of ginger, about 10 jin (5 catties), and Li Wenli cooked 5 jin (2.5 catties) of it in one go. The large stainless steel pot was filled to the brim.
After brewing ginger tea, she couldn't help but complain, "It's so cold and damp here. It's impossible to survive at this temperature. I just opened the window and felt the cold wind blowing in. It felt like needles piercing my bones. It's even more terrifying than when Granny Rong was pricking the crape myrtle flowers."
Zuo You was amused by her words, "It's not that you can't survive, just freeze as much as you can. If you don't freeze to death, then freeze as hard as you can. It's just that compared to extreme heat, extreme cold takes much longer to adapt to."
Even if they don't do what they usually do, they can still prepare more skincare products and occasionally go out to shovel snow and fight zombies.
Anyway, with Xinyu here, you don't need to worry about any problems.
The extreme heat and extreme cold of the past life did not occur only once.
The third year of the apocalypse was extremely hot, and the fourth year was extremely cold.
Therefore, Zuoyou has a relatively deep understanding of the two extreme weather conditions.
The human body is relatively adaptable to high temperatures, but it takes more time to adapt to low temperatures.
Five minutes later, Li Wenli had cooked a large pot of ginger soup.
After filling Zuo You's two thermos cups to the brim and giving everyone several bowls to drink, everyone finally felt their hands and feet warm up a bit, and the feeling of their hearts stopping wasn't so intense anymore.
Zuo You also drank a bowl; it was a bit too spicy, and there wasn't enough brown sugar.
Li Wenli's tea-making skills aren't as good as her Xinjiang cuisine. Maybe next time we can let her try making milk tea.
"Luckily we arrived at the base today. If we hadn't, we might have frozen to death on the way."
Sun Zhibin warmed his hands by the fire, staring at the embers in the stove, muttering to himself in a daze.
"Yes, I heard today that T has fallen. I wonder if any of us neighbors have managed to escape from T city."
"Do you think such heavy snow can put out a fire?"
"It definitely won't work in a short time, because snow can't isolate the air and has a low water content."
Liang Jingyu looked at the heavy snowfall outside the window and sighed, "At this rate of snowfall, it will probably take at least a week or two before it stops."
Zuo You did not participate in the discussion; different choices lead to different paths.
If she hadn't decisively led everyone away back then, no one could say what would have happened.
Seeing that everyone was unharmed, she did not linger there.
He put the thermos into the room, greeted everyone, and left.
The howling wind made Zuo You squint, her vision blurring in the blizzard, only able to vaguely make out buildings and trees in the distance.
Snowflakes pelted her body with a soft "shush" sound, making her steps difficult. Each step seemed as if she would be knocked over by the blizzard, and her facial features were distorted by the cold wind.
In just a short while, snow had already accumulated on the road.
Even though she wasn't afraid of the cold, she had to admit that the discomfort caused by extreme cold was far greater than that caused by extreme heat.
Don't find it unbelievable; in fact, the death toll from extreme cold is far higher than that from extreme heat.
As soon as Zuo You entered the house, Er Dan rushed out, looked at her owner, and seductively raised her left front paw.
