Chapter 661 The Temperature Drops Suddenly, and Winter Is Coming!

The moon rises above the branches and falls again in a flash.

With a golden light gradually rising from the horizon, the doomsday calendar, May 12, quietly arrived.

Today, there are only two days left before the most terrifying temperature drop of minus 40 degrees in the winter disaster.

As the pace of temperature drop is getting closer and closer, the cold air outside begins to gradually sweep across the entire earth, constantly pouring into the entire wasteland.

In the early morning, before the sky is completely bright, Su Mo was awakened by the cold again.

Looking at the time, it is already 5:20 in the morning. He simply stopped sleeping and sat up after putting on his clothes.

"Huh, it's really cold this day!"

If you ignore the weight and restraint of cold-proof clothes.

Just put it on, to some extent, it is warmer than the quilt.

Until the body was completely warmed up, Su Mo slowly got up, moved a few times, and walked out of the tent.

"Hey, Chief, you woke up so early?"

In the Snow Mountain Base Camp, more than two-thirds of the soldiers had woken up early and started to work in the camp.

Seeing Su Mo walk out of the tent, many people stopped what they were doing and looked over with respect.

Last night, the temperature dropped too suddenly.

From two o'clock in the morning, the wind started howling, and the temperature dropped by one degree every few minutes.

By three o'clock, the temperature outside had dropped to minus 28 degrees, and people were shivering with cold.

And at this temperature, in the camp, where a large bonfire cannot be lit for concealment, ordinary tents naturally cannot completely resist the cold.

In just one night, many people were woken up by the cold several times, and their sleep quality was extremely poor.

"It's too cold, I can't sleep!"

Looking at the kitchen tent where the smoke had already risen, Su Mo did not hide it and laughed and joked a few words.

Compared with those who transformed their bodies into mechanical creatures.

Even if he evolved into an interstellar human, Su Mo did not improve much in the basic human genes.

Take the current temperature as an example.

According to the standard of the heat and cold index, at the same temperature, the greater the relative humidity, the more obvious the increase in the perceived temperature.

For example, at the same temperature of 30℃, when the relative humidity is only 50%, the perceived temperature reaches 1℃, and when the relative humidity reaches 90%, the perceived temperature will soar to 6℃, which is 6℃ higher than the meteorological temperature.

Although the temperature shown on the thermometer is only minus 21 degrees.

But because it rained all day the day before yesterday, and the previous snow did not melt, the humidity in the air has accumulated to a terrifying level.

At this time, according to the index conversion, it can be concluded that the actual perceived temperature reflected on the human body has basically reached minus 30 degrees.

And this minus 30 degrees is the peak temperature that Su Mo can withstand.

Going down, he must also use other means to keep warm, otherwise his life will be in danger at any time.

At the same time, for ordinary soldiers, this temperature is almost the limit they can accept in cold-resistant clothing.

If the temperature drops, even if their willpower is strong, their bodies will quickly fail and cause unimaginable damage.

He fetched a basin of hot water, and before the water cooled, Su Mo quickly washed up and woke up.

While the kitchen was still not open for dinner, he strode to a position where he could overlook the origin camp below and looked into the distance.

The north wind was howling.

In the mountains.

Compared with the plains, the mountains blocked most of the cold currents, making the temperature inside higher than the outside.

But the fine dust and debris were blown up, accompanied by snowflakes that had not yet completely condensed into a piece, forming a spectacular scene like a "sandstorm" in the gaps between the peaks.

At the same time, a series of whirlwinds with scattered ice chips hit the valleys, making bursts of roaring sounds, which made people think that it was a punishment from heaven.

"Alas, I don't know what happened to the village"

When I thought about how I planned to rush back to the village before the temperature dropped sharply before I left, I had no choice but to endure the cold outside.

Su Mo could only look towards the direction of the village with a long and slightly emotional gaze.

For the first time, he seemed to be homesick?

On the north shore of the New World, in the Tianyuan Territory, Hope Village.

Early in the morning, the howling north wind began to rise from the end of the earth, making all kinds of buildings in the village buzz, bringing a feeling of impending storm.

The wind force of this north wind was not small, and it was initially judged to have exceeded level nine, which was terrifying.

But fortunately, the village had made some preparations two days ago and reinforced all the mobile cabins, so that they would not be in such a mess in such weather.

However, under such noise, most people lost their sleepiness. They could no longer sleep after six o'clock and began to crawl out of the quilt.

Compared with the outside, the dormitory with boiler heating was still warm as spring.

Even in energy-saving mode, the indoor temperature can be kept firmly at around 24 degrees.

Except for the occasional cold wind that came in through the cracks in the doors and windows, which made many people shudder and realize that it was really cold outside.

When most people got up, they only wore a thin autumn coat and didn't feel the slightest bit of cold.

Some fetched water, some washed up.

As the disaster approached, there was only half a day left to go back to work.

From this afternoon, the village will officially enter the wartime stage of disaster relief, all work will be suspended, and everyone will prepare for the disaster.

But unlike before, this time everyone's enthusiasm for fighting the disaster has visibly decreased.

On weekdays, it is a lively breakfast time.

Today, it is extremely dull. Most people just lowered their heads and concentrated on the pickled vegetable porridge in their bowls.

Only a few people chatted casually.

Sitting at a table near the canteen window, four men, one big and three small, were quickly dealing with the food on the plate.

Not long after.

As a large snowflake hit the window, the oldest man in his forties finally couldn't help but raise his head and said to the young man next to him with worry:

"Silly boy, the temperature will drop sharply in two days, but the director seems not to have come back yet. It's freezing outside, what should we do!"

"Look at the wind, I'm worried to death!"

"Uncle, don't worry, the director is very capable and has people around him, why should you worry about it!"

Subconsciously comforted the old man, but when the young man finished speaking, he sighed.

"Alas, yes, the temperature will drop sharply soon, and the director has been gone for almost 20 days, why is there no news?"

"It's only the village chief who stopped us, otherwise everyone would spontaneously take dry food and go out to find people these days. How can people sit still?"

Time is getting closer and closer.

There was no command from Su Mo during the first disaster, let alone news from Su Mo.

Although most people still looked as steady as old dogs on the surface, they were actually panicking in their hearts.

These days, the village has been developing dozens of times faster than before, and the buildings have also begun to increase rapidly, gradually developing into a real village and town.

But unfortunately, the sense of security brought by the growth of these things has not increased at all.

The reason is simple.

It is because they did not get Su Mo's witness and did not hear Su Mo's praise.

These buildings that suddenly rose from the ground, these materials piled in the warehouse, these extra infrastructures on the land.

It is like rootless duckweed, empty.

It only makes people feel that after a disaster, it will become a ruin.

Positive emotions will be transmitted, and pessimistic emotions will also spread. As the four people sighed, the atmosphere in the cafeteria became a little duller.

For a while, the voices of chatting became less and less, and there was only the sound of slurping porridge everywhere.

The second floor of the newly expanded cafeteria.

As the venue was further expanded, the village management's meals were officially moved up from below, and the location of the morning meeting was also moved here.

Looking at the people coming and going below, everyone had worries on their faces.

After breaking the remaining half of the wild vegetable steamed bun in his hand and soaking it in the soup, Li Hu couldn't help but look up at Chen Shen who was in the middle.

Compared with others, Chen Shen's status has been raised countless levels since he came back from the negotiations with the fish tribe.

In the past, because of his youth, he was designated by Su Mo.

Most people who are older than him and have more social experience than him, although they don't say that they are dissatisfied in their hearts, there is always a trace of the idea of ​​wanting to compete in their hearts.

But this time he went in alone from the fish territory and walked out intact, and even signed a series of agreements to help the village develop and build friendship between the two sides.

Even the unruly people began to affirm Chen Shen's ability.

Since then, Chen Shen seemed to have grown up. Even now, when everyone's heart was in turmoil, his mentality was still very stable.

He was still able to strictly follow the plan made before and steadily promote the development of the village one by one.

But today, after secretly watching Chen Shen for several minutes, Li Hu finally couldn't help but said:

"Village chief, it's time for us to release the news of the director."

Pointing to the first floor where the atmosphere changed drastically, Li Hu's face was full of worry.

He was not worried that someone would mutiny and make trouble because of this, nor was he worried that someone would attempt to subvert the power structure in the village when Su Mo was not around.

As a representative of force, the number of public security penalties submitted to his desk every day was basically zero.

Even if there were, it was just a quarrel between a few villagers over a small matter, which could be handled by themselves without the intervention of the newly established patrol guard team.

What he was worried about was very simple, and it was also funny to say it.

"If this continues, I will be under too much pressure. Yesterday, four or five people wanted to sneak out to find the director."

"I am worried that there will be more people today and tomorrow. What if I fail to keep an eye on them and they get lost?"

It sounds incredible, but it is happening in reality.

And these people who sneaked out are not young people in the village, but old men and wives.

In their hearts, even if Su Mo is the director, he is just a young child.

Before the cold winter came, an inexplicable force drove them to try to find Su Mo's traces before the disaster.

Yesterday, if someone hadn't hurriedly informed them, Li Hu would have almost caught these four or five people who went out from different directions.

"Did you do ideological work for them?"

"I definitely did. You don't know. They are all very stubborn. I can't say anything."

Faced with Chen Shen's smiling question, Li Hu answered with a little depression, and drank a big mouthful of soup after he finished speaking.

"Don't worry, we can hold on for another day, just one more day!"

"I'm still holding on. I've been holding on for four or five days. Village chief, please don't bully a rough guy like me."

Hearing another familiar answer, Li Hu's head seemed to grow bigger, causing others around him to laugh.

In fact, most of the management are not stupid, including Li Hu, who can guess what Chen Shen is doing now.

Between choosing to rely on Somo, and being able to develop independently after Somo leaves.

It's easy to choose the former. You just need to maintain the overall environment as stable as possible and wait until Sumo comes back.

But if you want to choose the latter, you must get through the most difficult step at the moment.

Without pain, people will never grow.

The Great Cooling Down is, in a sense, a test for everyone in the entire territory.

"Let's not talk about it for now. How is the construction of the boiler room at the Murloc Tribe going?"

Chen Shen smiled and changed the topic and turned his attention to Shen Ke sitting next to him.

The latter raised his head, thought for a while, and said slowly: "There are no problems with the main body, and the heating pipes have been laid. Yesterday, Ai Shi went over in person to inspect and debug. Now, as long as the energy is in place, it can be put into use at any time."

"Have the construction costs been collected?"

Speaking of this, Shen Ke put down his chopsticks, showed a charming smile, and nodded happily: "That's for sure. They settled the remaining 70% of the balance after the acceptance yesterday, which is very fast."

"That's good, that's good!"

A piece of good news that cheered everyone up.

After saying this, Chen Shen turned to look at Su Deben on the other side: "Minister Su, how have the refugees who migrated from the south been doing in the past two days? Have they done anything unusual?"

"It's true. Originally, I said I would go take a look yesterday, but it turned out that the envoy from the Tree Tribe didn't leave and forgot to go there to inspect."

"No, don't worry. I'll be here to watch and everything will be fine. In the past two days, I have divided a group of people to start doing psychological examinations. In a week or two at the latest, when the temperature cools down, we can try to get some people to A small number of people have begun to integrate into the village.”

Speaking of this, Su Deben looked very interested.

On days without fighting, a group of strangers who migrated here by accident could be used for him to "play with and practice", which could be said to completely eliminate the boredom on weekdays.

The village chief, who became a group of refugees, led these people to open up wasteland in the snow, waiting for an opportunity to test the good guys and bad guys among them, which made his silent heart ignited again.

However, after finishing speaking, looking at the white snow falling outside and the howling wind, Sudeben quickly added: "By the way, the temperature has dropped too fast now, and the more than 400 people over there are not in good health. You Let’s see if we can make arrangements so that we can have some unexpected gains and get some supplies to replenish our bodies.”

"That's no problem. You can discuss it with Shen Ke later and give me the list after you finish it. It's really cold this winter, and our heating over there can't get through, so you need to pay more attention!"

There were no major problems in the few places he paid attention to, and Chen Shen felt slightly excited.

Afterwards, they talked about some small details for a while, and when the food in everyone's bowls was bottomed out, the brief morning meeting officially ended.

Facts have proved that the village structure that Somo worked hard to build before leaving has indeed produced irreplaceable effects after he left.

Because they are in positions that suit them, everyone basically does their work with full enthusiasm and concentration.

On this shining stage, they found the wonderful life that is difficult to obtain in the civilized era.

At the same time, they began to have more and more expectations for the days to come.

"Let's adjourn"

"Everyone, this is the first time the director has been away during a disaster. No matter what, we must hold on!"

Standing up and picking up the bowl, Chen Shen opened his mouth and finally gave some encouragement.

However, before he finished speaking, he himself started laughing, and the others he led also had a smile on their lips.

Even though the heat filled the cafeteria, his glasses fogged up due to the reflection.

Even though the north wind howls outside, it makes people's minds wander.

But when he turned around, Chen Shen could still see a ball of fire.

A blazing fire can be seen brewing in everyone's eyes.

He knew that this was the fire that Soma left in everyone's hearts before leaving.

At this time, it was time for the decisive battle.

It's already burning!
