Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 963 659: Minus Forty Degrees

Chapter 963

He Bing is full of creativity, knowledgeable about all kinds of machinery, and often has fantastical, bold, and avant-garde ideas.
Li Hang is very steady, has a strong learning ability, and can draw inferences from one instance to another. Sometimes he comes up with some great ideas as well.
The three of them formed the first mechanical research team of the Big Camphor Tree Base.
They specialize in researching how to enhance the defense capabilities of the Big Camphor Tree Base, improve the industrial level, and so on.
In short, everything revolves around enhancing the strength of the Big Camphor Tree Base.
Li Yu felt gratified, and so he vigorously supported them, giving them support in all aspects.
Recently, based on the plan to build the third Outer City of the future Big Camphor Tree Base, they have been racking their brains on how to build the base quickly and sturdily.
Finally, combining the materials currently available in the base, they devised a plan to use a steel frame structure and combine it with concrete.....
......
Li Yu went downstairs, dressed in sportswear, and first turned on the heating in the villa.
It was still very warm in the room.
In such a cold weather, Li Yu naturally wouldn't foolishly go outside to exercise.
On his way downstairs, he saw Li Yuan, who had been playing all night last night.
Xiao Shi got up early, as she needed to go to the greenhouse to help An Ya.
The greenhouse is crucial to the base; she dared not be careless.
Xiao Shi came out of Li Yuan's room and met Li Yu.
Her face quickly turned red, "Morning, Brother Yu."
Li Yu smiled and said, "Did you sleep over here last night? What time did you finish playing?"
Xiao Shi said shyly, "Around two o'clock."
"Hmm." Li Yu didn't say anything more. Young people don't sleep much; they like staying up and playing, that's normal.
He himself isn't much older than them, and saying more would make him feel like an old man.
Then he headed to the gym in the basement.
Xiao Shi watched Li Yu's burly back and the black T-shirt that outlined his bulging muscles.
Her face turned even redder.
Li Yu arrived at the basement.
As usual, he did a set of warm-up exercises, then turned on the MR system, and the beautiful scenery instantly appeared on the screens on the surrounding walls.
A riverside, ancient village, misty mountains, and curling smoke.
Accompanied by the sounds of birds chirping and streams flowing, Li Yu ran on the treadmill.
He ran a simple ten kilometers first.
After sweating a bit, Li Yu began to lift weights, pull ropes, and so on.
After working out for about 50 minutes, he felt a bit hungry.
Sweating all over, he went up to the first floor, took a couple of small sips of water, and ate some nuts.
Then he took a shower, got dressed, and went to the canteen to have breakfast.
.....
Kun City.
Red River.
Sanshan Village.
This place was already quite traditional and retro, and it was very remote even before Doomsday.
Although this place had electricity, after the outbreak of Doomsday, there was no electricity anymore.
They weren't too reliant on electricity and took out the old oil lamps they used before.
Lack of electricity wasn't too big of an issue.
After all, this place is near the Tropic of Cancer, so it's spring-like all year round.
Although this place is in the mountains, making it a bit colder, it doesn't get too much colder.
This winter, however, is exceptionally cold again.
The chieftain looked worried, recalling how last winter, despite storing a lot of firewood, over a dozen people still froze to death during the coldest time.
Moreover, there were seven or eight people who died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
They don't have the awareness to use northern-style heated beds.
Because before Doomsday, the temperature here was always around twenty degrees.
This winter is proving very difficult to endure.
Crops can't be grown; last year, they only managed to plant one season, which barely fed the people in the village.
Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Zhang Rufen's relatives, a massive group of hundreds, arrived.
This brought tremendous pressure to the village.
Fortunately, they had some food of their own, but he didn't know that the food of the Zhou and Liu families would only last for about a month.
The bamboo houses are not windproof, and the wooden houses catch fire easily.
Recently, they have been burning wood every day.
Although they are located in the mountains, so they are not worried about having no wood, the damn natural disaster took the lives of many trees, greatly reducing the forest trees.
But at least there are still some, so they collected a lot of dead trees some time ago and stored them.
The chieftain's brows were furrowed tightly.
He recalled what Ghost Head had just said to him.
"Those people will definitely pose a threat to us, Big Ap, for the safety of the villagers, we have to drive them out. If we don't act, it will be too late!"
.....
Recently, the people in the village and those newcomers have had some conflicts.
There are too many people from the Zhou and Liu families, and some of them with poor character tend to cause trouble.
Take Liu Cunyi's brother Liu Cunxi as an example.
On their way to escape here, two female slaves died, and once here, he took a liking to a girl.
He audaciously flirted, but the girl's family was very fierce.
They directly gave Liu Cunxi a good beating.
Considering the bigger picture, Liu Cunyi didn't pursue the matter and took his brother to apologize.
However, privately, Liu Cunyi and Zhou Zhisheng have been discussing how to control this place.
This place is not as simple as they thought.
Though the Zhou and Liu families have firearms, they are running out of bullets.
And on the village's side, almost every household has a homemade gun, so they're not afraid of them. Their numbers even overwhelm them.
It's a bit tricky.
The weather is very cold.
Almost every day, a huge amount of firewood is burned.
Since the Zhou and Liu families came in, the chieftain, to welcome his in-laws, gave them some firewood.
But later, firewood for warmth gradually became insufficient.
Without firewood, they would freeze to death.
Zhou Zhisheng looked at the few dozen pieces of wood left and said to Liu Cunyi opposite, "Mr. Liu, if this continues, we'll soon freeze to death. We've already asked the chieftain for firewood three times, and he refused us the last time. We have no other choice but to come up with a solution ourselves."
"What do you propose? We're running low on gasoline as well, and the remaining can't be used. Without gasoline, we'll have to descend the mountain."
"After all, we're in the mountains, we can look for wood around, cut down some trees, and we should be able to manage."
"Easy for you to say, at forty degrees below zero, we'll freeze to death within an hour of being out."
"But we have to resolve this, or just sit and wait to freeze to death?"
"How about we seek advice from Zhang Rufen?"
"Alright."
The two exchanged a glance and made the decision.
.......
A world of ice and snow.
The snow kept falling.
Not only here in the village, but since the outbreak of Doomsday, the weather around the globe has plunged into a change beyond ordinary logic.
Global cooling, global snowfall.
This snow has covered everywhere.
Those like them, lacking heating resources, are many.
They're still considered lucky; at least they have some food.
More people are in hunger and cold, only able to await death.
A snowflake falls in an unseen corner of a city.
And yet another person freezes to death alive.
This is a horrifying Doomsday, an icy Doomsday.
In the cold, the survivors face not only the cold.
There are also zombies with white skin.
And companions who may not be as trustworthy as they appear.
Sometimes, humans are the most dangerous creatures.

Totally exhausted!
Sincerely asking everyone,
to drown me with monthly tickets.
Thank you, bosses.
