Chapter 149 Extremely Cold (1)

At first, people only thought that this year's cold snap was relatively severe, and all parts of the country ushered in a snowy winter.

The school closed early amid the cheers of the students. The children had fun in the snow, making snowmen and having snowball fights. The news continued to report the trend of low temperature in various places under the cold current.

The new year is over and the start of school is approaching, but the snow has been snowing for several months without any sign of stopping. The temperature drops directly from a few degrees below zero to dozens of degrees below zero. Air conditioning and heating are no longer enough to keep warm, and the demand for charcoal is getting stronger , the price soared to a level that ordinary people could not afford.

State agencies tried to control the price of wood and charcoal everywhere, scientists gathered to discuss the causes and remedies of the sudden drop in global temperature, factories and schools were all closed, religious people regarded the protracted snowfall as a curse from heaven, and there was a strong panic Spread silently among the masses.

Crops are unable to survive, power supplies are intermittent, and people's lives have come to a complete standstill.

Only this snow still falls on the world calmly and continuously.

Three years later, most of the elderly and children died of various diseases caused by the low temperature. Waves of urban residents migrated to the countryside under the call of the state, and did everything possible to develop agriculture. The city has completely turned into a ruin of steel.

"It's still snowing."

Wen Lian would say this every morning when she opened the curtains made of thick cotton cloth. She quickly lowered the curtains to block out the cold air, put on goggles for herself, and spit out clouds of white mist while speaking.

"I'm going out first. Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. It must be busy outside early."

Scientists proposed the title of "Ice Age" two years ago. Since then, the earth has been kept between minus [-] degrees and minus [-] degrees. Only the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar will briefly rise to Twenty degrees below zero, so people will walk outside as much as possible on this day, collecting wood and food that can be used.

The earth is undoubtedly great, and some tenacious plants and animals have been bred in this extremely cold world. Human beings walk around in the snow to fill their stomachs.

After Wen Lian finished speaking, she hurried out, and Zhao Yutang stopped dawdling, and began to put on thick and warm clothes beside the bed. It is very important to maintain body temperature in this low-temperature weather. Wear as much as possible.

When she packed up and went out, it was already bustling outside, several children wrapped up like fat penguins, pulling a small cart and running on the snow.

Zhao Yutang exhaled, pulled his legs out of the deep snow, and walked into the forest with great effort.

The men were already hurrying to cut down trees, and the children skillfully planted some hardy plants into the snow-buried soil. Wen Lian ran over happily carrying a hare.

"There's meat tonight!"

The current rabbit is no longer what it used to be. This is a new creature that descended on the snow. It has a pair of very developed and long forelimbs. In order to shovel snow, the ears also become two thick pieces, which always hang down. Cover half of your head.

People don't know when this animal evolved quietly, the only thing that is certain is that it can indeed eat.

Wen Lian was surrounded by many people asking where she caught the rabbit, she managed to squeeze out of the crowd, and happily ran to Zhao Yutang, "Look!"

She gave Zhao Yutang a simple map with twists and turns, and whispered, "Follow this map, I left a litter of little rabbits there."

Although the country promotes sustainable development all day long, people are so hungry that their eyes turn green, and they just want to fill their stomachs quickly. If others see that litter of rabbits, they may not live to grow up.

Wen Lian knew that Zhao Yutang didn't eat wild animals, and she was very good at raising animals, so she thought about leaving the litter of little rabbits to her.

She is not a noble and kind person. Mother Rabbit is reluctant to let go, but the bastard is also reluctant to let go.

Zhao Yutang took the map and walked all the way to the depths of the forest. It has been almost half a year since she came to this world, and she was silent for a long time when she opened her eyes and saw this snow-covered world.

She died in such a place where snowflakes were flying, so she was always a little insensitive to Xuetian, but she never thought that the system would throw her to such a place.

The system should also have a guilty conscience. It didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end, and closed the small black room for itself.

The snow did not reach her calves, and it was already afternoon when Zhao Yutang walked to the end point on the map. She saw a small natural cave with a messy entrance, as if it had been trampled by something, and there were bloodstains.

I'm afraid she's late.

Zhao Yutang lifted the weeds at the entrance of the cave to look in, and was caught off guard by a pair of dark eyes, the eyes of a human child.

The little boy was sitting against the wall, his small face was as white as snow, his eyebrows and eyelashes were white, and his hair was also white. Only his eyes were dark and his lips were bright red. He was like a child born of heavy snow, with a palpitating sense of cleanliness. Pure to the extreme.

Seeing Zhao Yutang, he remained motionless, with a trace of hatred in his eyes indifferently, like a high-ranking human being seeing an ant, with silent contempt.

Zhao Yutang was stunned for two seconds, and did not approach hastily. She looked around first, and found that there were blood spots all around, and the blood was mixed with fine pieces of meat, but there were no footprints of beasts.

The bones of those rabbits should be gone.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yutang saw something moving in the little boy's arms in the dim light. She squinted her eyes and looked carefully, and saw a fat rabbit's buttocks, and then the rabbit struggled to put its head on the little boy's arm. Pull it out from below, turn your head, and face Zhao Yutang with a rabbit face.

Although there are not many good-looking animals nowadays, this rabbit is indeed ugly to a certain extent. It has only one ear, half of its front teeth are broken, and its hair is messy. White and yellow hairs are intertwined. Like a torn blanket.

Meeting Zhao Yutang's eyes, the rabbit backed away in surprise, and immediately put his head into the little boy's arms again.

Zhao Yutang stood there for a while, the little boy turned away from looking at her long ago, she approached tentatively, the little boy looked over suddenly, his eyes were cold, but he still didn't move.

Maybe it's impossible to move.

"You are hurt?"

Zhao Yutang found that his two legs didn't seem to be able to use any strength, so that although he was fierce, he was less aggressive than that ugly rabbit.

The little boy was silent, just staring at her with black eyes, his eyes were fierce as if he wanted to tear her apart.

This place is far away from the village, and it will take time to rush back. Zhao Yutang can't delay for too long, so he won't play any glaring games with this bad-tempered kid.

She stretched out her hand, wearing thick plush gloves, "I'll take you away."
