Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1762: Minus Sixty Degrees!
"Oil City? What place is that?" the skinny and hunchbacked old man asked doubtfully.

"Have you heard of this place?" The spotted man looked at the others.

Little Radish and the middle-aged veteran shook their heads. They had never heard of this place.

Yu Qiang showed a look of reminiscence on his face and said:

"I had a small team in Nantong before, and I met another team there. Their captain was called Wang Ou, and I had a good relationship with him.

Then one day I took people to look for him and found that they were all gone. In their shelter, he left a letter for me, asking me to go to Oil City. "

"Just at that time, my radio received the signal from the Hope Fortress in M ​​City. Since Oil City is in the Central Plains, it is too far away from M City."

"So I came here, and I fell into a trap, and I was the only one left in my team."

The spotted middle-aged man frowned and asked:

"Central Plains? It's about 700 to 800 kilometers away from here. How can we get there in such a cold weather? Without transportation and food, we will freeze to death on the road."

The other old man thought for a moment and said:
"It was indeed unrealistic in the past. Right now, the most important thing for us is to escape from this damn place. I don't want to be someone else's food. I would rather freeze to death outside than sit here and be slaughtered!"

"well said."

The tall and thin retired soldier nodded and said:
"Even if you die outside, it's better than staying here. Tell me your action plan in detail."

Yu Qiang narrowed his eyes and said:

"When I came into this room, I had already observed that the toilet on the left side of the hall outside can lead directly to the ventilation duct. The ventilation duct crawls forward and turns two corners to reach the elevator baffle. Then we go down along the elevator shaft."

"But."

The spotted man said in confusion:

"Then we have to leave this room first. How can we get out if they don't open the door?"

"Besides, even if they open the door, how can we break through their blockade? They will definitely not let us leave!"

Yu Qiang raised his head and looked at the other people around him.

"So, the strength of the five of us alone is not enough. We also need their strength."

"The question is how to get them to cooperate with us?" asked Little Radish Head.

The old man understood Yu Qiang's idea, "You mean, tell others that they are about to attack us, let them make a fuss, and we take the opportunity to escape?"

"Yes, just as Brother Liu said. Anyway, we are all locked up here. If we encourage them, there will definitely be people willing to fight with us!" Yu Qiang said seriously.

The middle-aged man who was a former soldier nodded and said, "Okay, let's get started without further ado."

Oil City.

Snowflakes were flying, and hundreds of people were walking back and forth on the long wall.

Wang Ou, who was on patrol duty on the buffer city wall, sneezed.

Aqiu~
Who is scolding me again?

In such cold weather, he must have been frozen.

He woke up and wiped his nose, then threw it against the wall. Soon, the snot was frozen.

Looking towards the east, he inexplicably thought of an old friend.

I made a friend, Yu Qiang, in NT City before. At that time, they knew Yu Qiang's team and Meng De's team. The three teams relied on each other in Nantong.

In the end times, it is rare for teams not to attack each other.

The three teams are all familiar with each other. Although they have not merged together, they have had contact with each other and even traded supplies with each other at times.

When he, Meng De and others followed the people from Oil City and left Tongshi, they also thought of asking him to go to Oil City together, but they did not find Yu Qiang and did not know where he had gone.

So he left a note when he left, and Yu Qiang saw it, so he went to Oil City to find him.

"I wonder if he's still alive. It's so cold, I'm afraid he can't survive outside."

He shook his head and stopped thinking about Yu Qiang.

Right now, those of them patrolling the wall are also facing some problems.

Now the snow under the wall is six and a half meters thick, and the wall is only eight and a half meters high. In other words, the snow below is only two meters away from the top of the wall.

Moreover, because gasoline was burned before to melt the snow into ice, the ice layer underneath is very solid. Even if the snow on the surface is melted, it will quickly freeze into ice again. There may still be a six-meter thick ice layer behind it.

Doesn't make much sense.

"Brother Wang."

A man behind Wang Ou walked over in small steps, interrupting his thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Wang Ou glanced at Chen Chen with a puzzled look on his face.

Chen Chen brushed off the snowflakes on his eyebrows and asked:
"The greenhouse construction that just resumed a few days ago has been completely suspended today. Is it possible that we will be asked to withdraw as well?"

"It looks like we can't hold out for a few more days. We should retreat in the next two days." Wang Ou replied.

Chen Chen nodded, and the two walked side by side on the wall.

The snow under their feet made a rustling sound as they stepped on it.

They have been on duty at the wall for several days and are very familiar with the situation here.

Moreover, the snow accumulation ten meters away from the wall is now eleven meters high.

If it weren't for the area in the middle blocking the sliding snow, their side of the wall would have been covered by snow long ago.

However, if the snow continues to fall, it may not last much longer.

Those who were patrolling the wall were all in a panic.

zizi——

beep—

A loud electric sound suddenly sounded in front.

In the wind and snow, they saw a member of the combat brigade jogging towards them with a loudspeaker.

“Notify, notify!”

"Remove the UV lamps, close the heating gates, and everyone goes down the fence and returns to the market."

Ah Dong walked up to them with a loud speaker and shouted at them:

"Received the latest notice, lowered the fence, removed the UV lamp, closed the heating gate, lowered the fence!"

"Hurry up and act!"

"Oh, okay." Wang Ou nodded after hearing that.

Adong held the loudspeaker and continued to run to make announcements.

Soon, news of a full retreat from the wall came through the walkie-talkies carried by Wang Ou and his companions.

The reason why Adong ran with a loudspeaker to make announcements was to ensure that the message reached everyone's ears.

This can prevent some people from not hearing the intercom and not knowing to retreat down the wall.

The buffer city wall is several kilometers in circumference, and patrol officers are extremely scattered.

When issuing a notification order, especially one that concerns life and death, it will be notified in two ways for the sake of safety.

As the notice was delivered, the patrol officers on the wall quickly removed the ultraviolet lamps on the wall.

Since the blizzard began, there have been no sightings of zombies.

But just in case, the UV light was kept on.

Now that we are going to put down the wall, we naturally cannot leave the ultraviolet rays here to be buried by the snow.

Not to mention that the accumulated snow may damage the UV lamp.

When the weather turns warmer and the snow melts into water, it will damage the electronic components inside the ultraviolet lamp, making it unusable.

Two thousand ultraviolet lamps are installed on the buffer city wall, which is an important asset.

After half an hour.

Wang Ou and Chen Chen carried the disassembled UV lamp down the wall. There were already parked trucks waiting under the buffer city wall to transport the disassembled UV lamp back to the trading market.

Gu Yuntao got off the truck and saw Wang Ou and others coming with an ultraviolet lamp. He went over to help open the fender at the back of the truck.

"How's the demolition going? How much is left?"

Scratch——

Wang Ou and Chen Chen placed the ultraviolet lamp on the truck, and the ultraviolet lamp rubbed against the iron sheet of the truck.

Wang Ou panted and said:

"We have two more at Tower 45."

"Okay." After getting the answer, Gu Yuntao hurried back to the car.

He didn't want to stay in the snow for even a second.

it's too cold.

The temperature display in the car showed that the current outdoor temperature had reached minus fifty-eight degrees Celsius.

Seeing Gu Yuntao running to the car, Chen Chen looked at him with some envy.

This weather is killing me.

He covered his ears, turned his back to the wind, and walked towards the wall.

Although he was wearing a hat, he still felt the pain in his ears from the cold.

The ears are not as resistant to cold as other parts of the body and are very prone to frostbite.

An hour later.

Most of the ultraviolet lamps on the walls have been removed.

In the No. 45 sentry tower, Guitou, deputy captain of the th Brigade of the Civil Armed Forces Department, walked in.

"Are all the heating valves turned off?"

"Everything is closed." Wang Ou was packing up his packages and the items in the container sentry tower, planning to evacuate.

Guitou personally went over to check the heating valve, and after confirming that it was indeed closed, he said:

"Okay, you guys go ahead and leave. There's a truck down there to take you back to the trading market."

"Yes." The two men retreated to the wall with their packages on their backs.

The buffer city was too large, and they were on duty in the western area, which was the farthest from the east gate of the trading market, about 3.5 kilometers away.

In such a cold day, it would take at least dozens of minutes to walk there on foot.

So a truck was specially arranged to pick them up and take them back to the trading market.

A few minutes later.

They came to the truck carrying the packages.

"Old Wang, come here, I'll pull you up." On the truck, Zhang Feng saw Wang Ou, a familiar face, and immediately stood up and stretched out his hand.

Wang Ou threw the package on his shoulder up, which was covered with white snowflakes.

He held Zhang Feng's hand tightly and climbed up.

Afterwards, Zhang Feng and Meng Zi pulled up Chen Chen who was behind them.

The truck had a roof, and after they entered the truck, they sat on the folded seats on both sides.

Their trucks have been modified through electric welding, so a row of seats can be knocked down near the sides.

If you need to transport something, you can fold up the seats so that they don't take up space.

The car was already full of people. Zhang Feng walked to the back of the car, knocked on it, and shouted:

"Lao Gu, the place is full, can we go now?"

Gu Yuntao's voice came from the front:
"Why are you in such a hurry? This is my last trip out. I will hand over the car after entering the trading market. I will wait and see if anyone else gets off. I can just squeeze in."

Zhang Feng wanted to complain when he heard that, as he had been waiting here for more than ten minutes.

Although there is a roof above the head, there is no door at the back of the truck bed, only a baffle.

The wind blew into the carriage, and they were really cold in the carriage.

Zhang Feng bent his waist and returned to his original position.

woohoo-

The flying snow outside kept falling on Wang Ou and Chen Chen who were standing beside the car.

They were right next to the baffle, and snowflakes were blown over by the wind, fluttering in the carriage.

Everyone in the car lowered their heads, put their hands in their pockets, hunched over and shivered.

Wang Ou took off his gloves. His right hand was red, swollen and purple. He unzipped his pants twice and put his hand into his armpit, skin against skin.

hiss~
He gasped.

His right hand felt like an ice cube and he was shivering from the cold.

A mask of pain appeared on his face, but his right hand felt warm and comfortable.

Pain and comfort, two feelings running parallel in his body.

What fucking weather.

"Want one?" Seeing Wang Ou in so much pain, Zhang Feng took out a corn silk cigarette from the cigarette box in his arms and handed it to Wang Ou.

"You are really extravagant!" Wang Ou looked at Zhang Feng in surprise, and took it without hesitation with his left hand without taking off the glove. It would be a shame not to take advantage of the opportunity.

Cigarettes are a luxury in the end times.

Especially after the blizzard, cigarettes were in short supply in the trading market.

Now in the trading market, a packaged box of cigarettes like this one is sold for 5 points per pack.

There are 20 cigarettes in a pack, which means the price of one cigarette is 0.25 points!
And exactly one tortilla is worth 0.25 points.

luxury!

"Where did you get it?" Wang Ou greedily put the corn silk cigarette to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. He usually couldn't bear to smoke this cigarette, it was too expensive.

"I won't tell you." Zhang Feng smiled mysteriously.

Then he took out a lighter and lit the cigarette for Wang Ou. Snap——

The flame slowly burned the cigarette, and Wang Ou took a greedy, deep puff.

He was reluctant to spit it out, so he closed his eyes and carefully felt the smoke filling his lungs, enjoying the slight dizziness.

Smoking is bad for the body, but for these people in the end times, temporary relaxation is more important than health. They are under too much mental pressure, and cigarettes and alcohol can help them.

call--

Wang Ou hardly exhaled any smoke, but the white mist that came out was just the condensation of the hot air due to the cold environment.

As he was sitting on the edge and the wind was strong, he quickly used his body to block the wind to prevent the wind from blowing away his cigarette.

"Am I a good brother?" Zhang Feng said with a smile, holding a cigarette.

"You are really my good brother!" Wang Ou gave a thumbs up and praised.

The right hand that had been frozen just now slowly recovered its temperature under the warmth of the armpit.

"Brother Wang, give me a puff. You guys seem to be enjoying it." Chen Chen, who was sitting opposite, said with some envy.

Wang Ou glared at him and said, "If you can't smoke, what's the point of learning it!"

Chen Chen rubbed his hands and said, "Okay."

Zhang Feng slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said softly:

"Lao Wang, I'm afraid this blizzard won't stop for a while. It's so freaking scary. It's been snowing for 20 days and now it's starting again."

Wang Ou paused for a few seconds, shook his head and said with emotion:
"Yes, it's already minus 60 degrees Celsius. If the snow continues like this, I'm afraid the walls of the trading market won't be able to withstand it."
