Turning off his phone, Liu Mo made up his mind to exchange supplies.
The heating has been turned off and the temperature will plummet in a short time.
Even though it’s still 10 degrees in our homes right now, it’s just because there’s still residual heat from the heater.
By around five o'clock in the evening, the temperature will reach below zero.
It will drop to minus 20 degrees before twelve o'clock. At that time, all the floor heating pipes will freeze, and the last bit of heat will disappear.
For most of the day, the temperature dropped to thirty degrees!
Of course, this is not the lowest temperature.
After the blizzard subsides tomorrow, the outside temperature will reach more than minus 40 degrees, and the temperature at home will only be a little higher than this, and will not exceed minus 35 degrees.
Therefore, if you want to live comfortably, it is best to consider the issue of heating first.
“One pound of anthracite is worth 10 points. It’s so damn expensive!”
Liu Mo grinned in distress when he saw the prices of heating supplies in the system.
For normal heating, a room of 30 square meters consumes three kilograms of coal a day.
But now that the weather is so bad, even if Liu Mo shrinks down to heat a small area in the bedroom, he will have to use at least ten kilograms a day, which works out to 200 points.
As for the stove, Liu Mo felt a pain in his balls after just one look at it.
Ordinary briquette stoves are not too expensive and only cost 1,000 points. However, this small stove cannot be used in an environment of minus 40 degrees because it can only be used with briquettes that are not very hot.
But the other type of iron stove that can burn coal is more expensive.
"Five thousand points, did you make a mistake in the system?"
The system was not intelligent and did not respond to Liu Mo's complaints.
In the end, Liu Mo could only sigh in despair.
In the system, except for normal food, there is nothing cheap or proper profiteering behavior.
Even the superpowers are only cheap at the entry level, and each one becomes more expensive later on.
Maybe in the eyes of the system, the only thing that is necessary is not to starve to death...
I originally thought that the current speed of earning points was pretty good, but when compared with the prices in the system, it was obviously far behind.
But you can understand it if you think about it.
The coal stoves on the market weigh at least 70 to 80 kilograms. A single kilogram of iron costs 50 points. A 70 to 80 kilogram coal stove sells for 5,000 points, which is pretty much the same.
Although he understands, it is obvious that his idea of buying a coal stove has been temporarily frustrated.
"Okay, let's buy some coal first and find a few stainless steel basins for the night."
Looking at the more than 3,000 points in his hand, Liu Mo felt that it was really not enough. It was urgent to improve his strength and increase his points income.
The plan to get the superpower tomorrow cannot be changed, so I can only feel a little aggrieved today.
Without coal stoves and exhaust pipes, you have to be careful about carbon monoxide poisoning.
In other words, there is a high probability that I will not be able to sleep tonight, and I will have to open the windows for ventilation from time to time.
"System, exchange two kilograms of anthracite first."
[Anthracite: 10 points per kilogram, 40 points for 4 kilograms! 】
[Redeem successful! The resource has been stored in the system space! 】
The points on the book suddenly decreased by forty.
Liu Mo extracted 4 kilograms of coal, then took the three largest stainless steel basins from the kitchen and used a few cardboard boxes to slightly raise them.
Harmful gases such as carbon monoxide are less dense than air and rise when burned. It is safer for people to put them higher.
Of course, the quality of the anthracite redeemed by the system is still good.
After desulfurization and complete combustion, there will not be too much harmful gas.
After placing several stainless steel basins separately and closing the bedroom door, Liu Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
The bedroom is at the back of the community. When the time comes for ventilation, only Building 6 at the back can see a little bit of smoke and dust, which can hide itself to the greatest extent.
After a lot of effort, he lit several pots of coal on fire:
"The next step is to wait."
The room became quiet. Liu Mo opened the window for a few minutes from time to time to ventilate the room, and then set up a pot and cooked some food.
Unexpectedly unpalatable.
There is no other way. It is really difficult for him to do this to someone who has never cooked a decent meal.
But even so, the original taste of the ingredients is much better than the food in the apocalypse.
Almost everyone else in the building was trembling.
The temperature dropped faster than anyone imagined.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone felt that the ground had become bitingly cold. Even if they desperately increased the flow of heating into the house, it had no effect.
The pets all jumped on the sofa. For them, the originally warm ground had turned into a deadly hell.
0 degrees, this is simply not a temperature that a person can survive for a long time.
Ingredients can be kept fresh by being placed in a zero-degree refrigerator, but if people are placed in this environment, it is called a morgue.
For a moment, there were stamping sounds upstairs and downstairs, and everyone was trying to think of ways to warm up their bodies.
But there are also many people who have come up with solutions.
If there are electric heating equipment such as small suns or air conditioners at home, almost all of them are turned on at full power.
Although the effect is not satisfactory, the family can still feel a touch of warmth when they gather around the little sun.
As for the air conditioner, it is not particularly powerful. The heating is extremely limited in this environment, but it is still a comfort.
The other type is those who have a wall-mounted boiler installed at home. At this time, they turn the temperature to the highest temperature and start burning like crazy.
For those who have a wall-hung boiler installed, they are undoubtedly the most comfortable in the entire building.
Those who didn't have either of these went to the kitchen, turned on all the gas stoves at home, and let the flames burn in the house.
This is the most helpless way, and it is too dangerous. It must be watched by someone all the time, and there is no way to turn on the range hood to ventilate. We can only let the methane and ethane that are not fully burned Wait for harmful gases to escape into your home.
This operation obviously has disadvantages. Before seven o'clock, all the gas alarms in the house went off, and they had no choice but to turn on the range hood.
But as soon as it was opened like this, all the cold air from outside came in again, and the room temperature dropped again at an exaggerated speed.
But fortunately, the heat brought by the gas stove is quite enough, and it will not freeze people.
But the good times didn't last long.
Long-term maximum fire empty burning will cause great damage to the stove, especially since the gas stoves in many people's homes are no-name.
Just three hours later, someone in the group asked for help in fear:
"Everyone... our gas stove exploded and the natural gas can no longer be used. Who can help us? We are willing to pay! According to the hotel price!"
This piece of news instantly shocked many people who used gas stoves to heat their homes.
They rushed to the kitchen and turned off the gas stove immediately, preparing to wait for the stove to cool down for a while before turning it on intermittently.
But no one responded to the message in the group, and even Zhang Beiqiang, who had always been a good guy, fell silent at this time.
In such cold weather, few people can sleep except those with wall-mounted furnaces and floor heating.
The time soon reached twelve o'clock, and the temperature in the building reached a terrifying minus twenty degrees.
In this environment, let alone talking, even if you blow your breath, the steam contained in it will turn into ice particles and stick to your face.
But fortunately, most people have some ways to keep warm, so they won't freeze to death.
But what no one expected was that the person who had spoken in the group suddenly went crazy at this moment...
At 0:10 a.m. on December 5, Liu Kaian posted a message in the group:
"You don't care about us, right? We're buried in the snow on the first floor and no one cares about it. When the gas stove breaks down, no one cares about it? Okay, okay! They are all good neighbors!!!"
Everyone always felt that in addition to being incompetent and furious, Liu Kaian also seemed to have some kind of madness inside, and they suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.
"Liu Kaian, tell me what you have to say! What do you want to do?"
Zhang Beiqiang couldn't sit still at first, because this Liu Kaian was on the same building as him!
If anything happens, their building is most likely to have problems.
"Liu Kaian! It's not terrible if the natural gas breaks down. There are so many clothes at home, the wardrobe is made of wood, and even the bed can be burned! These are what the experts said in the text message!"
A full five minutes had passed, and Zhang Beiqiang couldn't sit still when he saw that Liu Kaian still didn't reply.
"Everyone, let's talk. If anyone has an empty room at home, please accept this family!"
But no matter how Zhang Beiqiang called people in the group, no one spoke.
Liu Mo looked at the messages in the group chat and couldn't help but chuckle.
The humanity of the last days has only been gone for three days, and there is nothing left to hide.
Of course he knew what Liu Kaian was going to do.
If Zhang Beiqiang is a tycoon who likes to control people's hearts through tricks, then this Liu Kaian is a devil who will be punished for his own sake!
But at this time, Liu Kaian had already fallen into madness. He didn't even glance at his mobile phone, and immediately took the small hammer at home to the underground garage.
"boom!"
The sound of heavy hammering sounded in the underground garage.
The gas main pipe facilities in each building are only blocked by ordinary iron sheets and a small lock of a few centimeters. There is not much protection. After all, no one dares to touch these things in peacetime.
But this self-confidence successfully created Liu Kai'an at this time.
With just three hammers, Liu Kaian broke the small lock on the gas pipeline.
He opened the small door half the size of a window, and without hesitation, first turned off the gas valve, and then knocked the valve off with a few hammers.
Even in the end, he still didn’t feel relieved, so he hit the gas pipe hard again!
