Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1750 The snow has stopped. The biggest zombie animal?
twenty days later
It is daytime now and the sky is bright. If it weren't for the blizzard, the visibility would be better.

Eight in the morning.

Trading bazaar.

Business district.

Shop No. 2.

A bustling crowd of people were holding umbrellas and queuing here to buy tortillas.

Snowflakes were falling, and they shook the umbrellas in their hands from time to time to shake the snowflakes off to the ground.

The blizzard lasted for twenty days, and almost no vendors came out to set up stalls in the commercial district because it was too cold.

There are also fewer customers in the shops in the commercial district.

Apart from Shop No. 2, there is a pawn shop and a bathhouse that are doing relatively well, but the business of other shops is quite bleak.

Due to poor business, some shops could not afford the expensive rent and united to apply for rent reduction from Oil City.

After Lao Huang reported the needs of these shops, the senior management of Oil City discussed and decided to give these businesses a 50% rent reduction.

The reason why business is so bad is strongly related to the temperature outside.

Apart from buying food, the survivors basically huddled in warm rooms.

Those who have jobs will return to their homes immediately after work.

The temperature outside has now dropped to minus 45 degrees Celsius, and water turns into ice.

No one wants to stay outside for a long time.

call--

Chen Chen took a dozen tortillas from the staff of Restaurant No. 2, quickly stuffed them into a cloth bag, and then stuffed the cloth bag into his arms.

The temperature is low now, and if the tortillas are not kept warm, they will quickly get cold, become hard and dry, and have a terrible taste.

He held the tortilla in his pocket and ran hurriedly towards the residential building with his head down.

After walking a few steps, I heard a noisy discussion behind me.

"God is watching over us. The snow seems to have gotten smaller!"

"Huh? Really? Please stop it quickly. It snows every day and I'm sick of it."

Chen Chen stopped, raised his head, stretched out his hand, and felt the snowflakes.

He was surprised to find that the snow seemed to be getting smaller.

In the past, whenever he stretched out his hand for a while, his entire hand would be covered with snowflakes, but now it is not the case.

The snow has become lighter, which is a good thing!

It's snowing so heavily that I dare not go out.

The tortilla in Chen Chen's arms had just been steamed and was still a little hot. The heat radiated from the cloth bag, sticking to his inner clothes and making his stomach feel a little warm.

The snow became lighter and my mood became better.

On the way back to the residential building, Chen Chen could hear the discussions of passers-by all the way. They were all talking about the fact that the snow was getting smaller.

No one wants the snow to keep falling.

The blizzard lasted for twenty days, and many engineering jobs in the oil city and the trading market were at a standstill. Many survivors were out of work, so they had no points and no source of income.

It has been seven years since the apocalypse, and it is too difficult to obtain food resources solely relying on the outside world.

The Big Camphor Tree Base and the Oil City do not rely on these survivors for food.

At this stage of development, the base's need for survivors is their human resources, and talents to develop construction and expand the scope of planting, so as to produce more food and form a positive cycle.

The camphor tree force has now formed its own self-sufficient ecological closed loop, and can even feed more survivors through the food it produces.

Feed more survivors and use this labor force to develop the oil city and headquarters base.

The camphor tree base is like a ship, and these survivors are like the rowers on the ship. These rowers slide hard on the water, pushing the camphor tree base forward.

Chen Chen hurried back to the residential building.

When they opened the door, everyone in the room was awakened by the cold wind blowing in from outside.

"Boss Meng, Brother Wang, the snow outside is getting lighter. I think it won't be long before the snow stops."

Chen Chen said as he closed the door with his foot.

"The snow has become lighter?" Meng De jumped up from the bed and ran out of the room wearing only his clothes.

He was wearing a gray-yellow underwear with four or five holes in it on his upper body, and a pair of loose bear pajamas on his lower body, without socks.

As soon as he rushed out, a cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew towards him.

hiss!
Damn, it’s cold!
After all, the temperature outside was over 40 degrees below zero, and he, who was originally groggy, woke up in an instant.

He stretched out his hand habitually, raised his head to look at the sky, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

Hey!
The snowflakes are falling, but they are getting smaller.

His eyes rolled and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Suddenly, he shuddered all over and ran quickly to the room.

It's too cold.

He had only been outside for less than half a minute when he felt numb all over from the cold.

As soon as I entered the room, I felt relaxed.

The temperature in the room reached over 20 degrees Celsius, and they would get nosebleeds if they stayed in the room for a long time because the room was too dry.

Later they came up with a solution, which was to use containers such as washbasins, collect snow outside, and place them in the room to replenish moisture.

What's more, after putting seven or eight basins of water in the room, the room was not so dry anymore.

The melted snow can also be used as drinking water, saving water bills.

The other people in the room also ran out to see, and after finding that the snow had become smaller, they ran back to the room excitedly.

"Boss, the snow is getting lighter, so do we have work to do?"

"Yes, didn't we all sign up for the construction of the Buffer City greenhouse before? We also passed the physical examination. Later, they said that because of heavy snow, the construction was suspended. Now that the snow has stopped, we must restart the construction, right?"

Everyone looked at Meng De, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, frowning and saying:

"Not necessarily. The temperature is still too cold and construction work may not necessarily restart."

He had worked on projects before, and he knew that, generally speaking, concrete pouring construction was not suitable when the temperature was below minus 3 degrees Celsius.

When the temperature is below minus 3 degrees Celsius, the water in the concrete tends to freeze, causing the hydration reaction to stop, thus affecting the strength and durability of the concrete.

However, there are solutions. Adding admixtures such as water reducers, toughening agents and magnesium chloride can improve the strength and early strength of concrete while shortening the setting time.

But now the temperature is not just below zero, it's more than 40 degrees below zero.

It is very difficult to build in such extremely low temperatures.

Wang Ou next to him said:

"Brother Meng, we have set up ten experimental greenhouses in the trading market. They are all made of refined steel and PC solar panels. Concrete is rarely used. How about I take some people to the mission hall to wait, and come back to tell everyone once there is any news? How about that?"

Meng De thought about it and nodded:
"Okay, if there is any new notice over there, come back and tell me."

After getting Meng De's reply, Wang Ou quickly got dressed. They had been staying in this room for twenty days with nothing to do. Seeing the points in the number card getting less and less, it would be a lie to say he wasn't anxious.

"Xie Wang, you should also put on your clothes and come with me later." Wang Ou said to Xie Wang who was sleeping on the upper bunk.

"it is good."

When Chen Chen saw that they were about to go out, he quickly distributed the tortillas he brought back to them.

"Here, these are the tortillas I just bought. They're still hot. Eat them while they're hot."

Wang Ou tore off a small piece of corn tortilla and stuffed it into his mouth. This freshly steamed corn tortilla tasted better than one that had been stored for a few days. But he was afraid of wasting time, so he stuffed the remaining half of the corn tortilla into his arms, picked up his 1-liter thermos cup and walked out of the room.

Xie Wang followed him while eating tortillas.

In the aisle, two people were shoveling snow.

Wang Ou took a look at the two people. They were twin sisters coveted by many people in their building.

It is said that these two people have some relationship with the militia brigade, but I don't know whether it is true or not.

Seeing Wang Ou and the others coming, Dai Xinyan and Dai Xinyi stopped shoveling snow and let them pass first.

"Yeah." Wang Ou nodded at them.

Snow is shoveled within five meters around the residential building, in the corridors, and on the rooftops. The snow shoveling in these places is a shift job for everyone living in the building.

It's been two rounds now.

Today it is Dai Xinyi and her friends' turn.

Just as Wang Ou and his companions were heading to the mission hall, the news that the snow had subsided spread throughout the Oil City.

Oil City.

Lao Luo came to the minister's office.

"Minister, the snow has become lighter, have you seen it?"

Uncle San glanced out the window, nodded and said, "I see."

Lao Luo continued to ask:

“Should the previously suspended greenhouse construction plan be restarted?”

"We'll organize a meeting later and call Xie Changshan and his people to study the feasibility. The temperature is now over 40 degrees below zero. It will probably be a lot of trouble to build a greenhouse in such a low temperature." Uncle San said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Lao Luo turned and left.

Building in temperatures of minus 40 to 50 degrees Celsius is extremely difficult.

Leave professional matters to professionals. Xie Changshan and his team are professionals, and we have to listen to their opinions on whether or not to restart the construction of greenhouses.

The temperature is dropping too fast now. In just twenty days, the temperature has dropped from minus five degrees Celsius to minus forty-five degrees Celsius.

It is unknown how long this freezing disaster will last. Although they have stored a lot of food, they will never feel at ease as long as they cannot build greenhouses and start planting production.

Now the heavy snow has turned into light snow, and the sky is getting brighter, so there is a high probability that the snow will stop later.

Even if the snow stops, it will be difficult to transport a large amount of food to the headquarters base in a short period of time. The snow is so thick that it is difficult to drive food from the headquarters base.

If the temperature remains at dozens of degrees below zero and the food in the oil city is exhausted, the trading market will collapse.

after an hour.

The Oil City held a special seminar on restarting the construction of greenhouses.

At the meeting, Xie Changshan gave a response on building greenhouses under the current temperature.

It can be built, but the speed will be slow. At the same time, during the construction process, the scaffolding may not be stable because it is made of ordinary steel.

When the temperature is more than 40 degrees below zero, steel loses its toughness and becomes more brittle, unable to support people and materials on the scaffolding.

The steel used to build the greenhouse is alloy steel, which is a very precious metal steel collected by the Dazhangshu Base over the years.

It can withstand high and low temperatures and can maintain stability at dozens of degrees above or below zero.

For the large camphor tree base, nothing is more important than the greenhouse, so they use the best materials in the greenhouse.

"Minister, I saw a lot of logs outside the wood products factory. We can use the logs to build scaffolding. These woods are all cold-resistant plants. I think we can give it a try."

"Besides, the greenhouse only needs to be built eight or nine meters, so the support of wood should be sufficient."

Uncle San didn't quite understand these things either, so he said:

"You are the chief engineer of the construction of the trading market, you have the final say."

"Anyway, the greenhouse can be rebuilt, right?"

"Yes." Xie Changshan nodded.

"In that case."

Uncle San took a sip of tea and said:

"Then let's restart the construction. As for recruiting personnel, I remember we recruited some people last time. You can contact Lao Huang for details."

"Yes."

Zhong Chuchu and Liu Jinglie, who were sitting in the back seat, looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now the amount of grain transported from the granary in the oil city to the trading market every day is calculated in tons.

This has been going on for twenty days. Every day they see so much grain being transported to the trading market. They feel anxious.

They counted the food in the granary almost every day and calculated how long it could last.

It is impossible not to deliver food to the trading market, because the survivors in the trading market have a large number of points. If they do not exchange the points for food, riots will inevitably occur.

The riot can be suppressed by force. After all, the weapons of the survivors in the trading market have all been handed over. It only takes a few militia brigades to suppress it.

However, if points cannot be exchanged for food, the trust among the more than 200,000 survivors will collapse and the points system will fall apart.

Now, the construction of the greenhouse has finally begun.

Subsequently, greenhouses have been built, and seeds, fertilizers and other supplies are available in the Oil City.

There is no need to worry about chemical fertilizers. The excrement produced by more than 200,000 people every day can be used to make a lot of organic fertilizers.

Once the greenhouses are built and planting begins, they will no longer have to live off the land and food pressure will be reduced.

Western Pacific Ocean.

The entire world was frozen over, and even the ocean surface was covered with ice several meters thick.

Above the ice layer, there is snow as high as ten meters.

Looking around, I saw a vast expanse of desolate scenery, as if I were in a white desert.

And in this white desert, there is a place that stands out particularly.

There is no ice or even snow within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

The sea fog rolled, and the hot air rose up in a mighty manner, melting the snowflakes falling from the sky and turning them into rain and fog.

It feels like the hot springs in Changbai Mountain before the end of the world.

There was snow everywhere, except for the hot spring flowing in the pit.

The sea is surrounded by mist, rain and fog, as if you are in a fairyland.

In this area, the sea fog covers the sky and the water vapor is extremely dense.

On the sea, there were densely packed zombies floating. These zombies had different shapes and sizes, and some even had a huge tumor.

A huge whale swam out from the bottom of the sea.

"Woo——"

A column of water sprayed out from the top of the whale's head, and water droplets fell down.

If such a large animal ran out, it would definitely cause the zombies to bite it.

But these zombies did not attack the whale. Whales are mammals and can also be infected by the zombie virus. They can be said to be the largest mammals that can be infected by the zombie virus.

The whale opened its mouth and eyes, revealing its scarlet eyeballs. Under water, its sharp fangs were longer and sharper than shark teeth.

The whale was covered with scars, and it could be seen from the scars that it had been bitten by zombies a long time ago.
