The temperature has dropped to more than 80 degrees below zero.
It has been several days since the energy tower stopped operating and the whole city lost its energy supply. The street lights powered by the power diverted from the energy tower have been extinguished for a long time, and the entire city has been plunged into a deathlike darkness.
With the faint starlight and moonlight above his head, Meng Yiran stepped on the snow without stopping and walked as fast as possible on the dark and empty streets.
The compacted dirt road that was once a bit muddy due to the heat radiated from the energy tower was now covered with a thick layer of ice and snow after so many days of ice and snow storms raging at ultra-low temperatures.
Meng Yiran trudged forward in the knee-deep snow road, facing the oncoming strong wind that could almost knock people backwards, advancing one foot deeper than the other, leaving a series of footprints in the blizzard. , and was quickly buried by the wind and snow.
The cold wave carried thumb-sized ice shards and swept across the Eternal Night Plain with great force. The strong wind was raging in the Night City. The dilapidated metal shacks suddenly made an overwhelmed creaking sound. They were crumbling and looked like they might collapse at any time. The ice The slag fell on the dilapidated metal shacks, and the sound of banging was endless.
It was like crying, the roaring wind, the creaking of the crumbling house structure and the beating of ice slag mixed together to form a unique movement in this dead, cold night.
It was like playing a lament for Night City, which was in crisis.
Meng Yiran did not dare to stay outside any longer. He scanned the streets through his goggles, looking for a place nearby where he could temporarily escape the wind and snow and the chairman... Although he was fully equipped, he could definitely It can withstand ultra-low temperatures to a certain extent, but in this cold windy outside world, even if you wear cold-proof equipment, you will fall into a state of slow hypothermia.
Because it's too cold.
Meng Yiran tightened the clothes around him. The cold wind like a knife hurt his face, causing him to shrink his neck involuntarily and hide most of his face and ears under the raised collar. With a warm hat underneath.
He must carefully hide his exposed skin under cold-proof gear and clothes. Otherwise, as long as his unprotected flesh and blood body is exposed to the cold wind, it will rapidly lose temperature in less than a minute, causing poor blood flow and causing local frostbite.
Especially the end areas of blood circulation, such as fingers, toes and ears, are very susceptible to frostbite in ultra-low temperature environments. They are also the most easily ignored areas after frostbite occurs - because hypothermia will cause local blood circulation to develop. Obstacles, which lead to a certain degree of numbness and sensory loss, make frostbite victims unaware of their frostbite status and even miss the best rescue time.
Since the establishment of Night City, most of those who had their limbs amputated due to severe frostbite were because the low temperature paralyzed the senses of the frostbitten limbs. As a result, the frostbite became more and more serious, and the best opportunity for treatment was missed. Given the current situation in Night City, Medical treatment was unavailable and the only way to save the patient's life was to remove the necrotic limbs.
Meng Yiran, who was walking in knee-deep snow without a sleigh to travel, naturally had to be more vigilant about his body temperature loss. He didn't want to fall down due to severe frostbite before he could escape Night City, so he just stepped out of the energy tower. , he was always paying attention to his body temperature, and using the starlight and moonlight to scan for any houses that could temporarily shelter from the wind and snow.
But he was lucky, and he quickly found a shack that seemed to be intact and the air leakage was not that serious.
Meng Yiran walked up to the shack he chose. Due to the dignity and etiquette education of the intellectual aristocracy, as well as his life experience at the bottom, he did not rush to pick the lock or kick open the door. , but stretched out his hand and knocked on the door first.
However, to his surprise, the door was unlocked. His gloved hand fell on the door and knocked, and the door opened with a creak.
It was quiet inside the house. The door that opened with a push was neither locked nor had any simple alarm device set on the door.
anyone there? Meng Yiran couldn't help but frown and asked in a lowered voice. This abnormal phenomenon made him feel that something was wrong. According to his more than ten years of experience in the lower class, although most of the lower class do not have money and would not think of buying door locks, even if they do not have door locks, they will consider using other things to replace door locks. , and maybe set up some suggested alarms instead of being left undefended like now.
Like old world Paris.

I hope I can stay here for a while. No one in the Snow Wind House answered. I don’t know if it was because of precautions or for other reasons, but the old man still spoke patiently. If you are worried, I will stop at the door for a while. I'll leave after a while. Whether you agree or not, please give me a reply.
Update first, then revise, there is still half a chapter left, speaking of which, why do I suddenly have a lot of monthly votes here but I can’t see who voted for them? Did the writer’s assistant suffer from convulsions during the Chinese New Year?
