People thought that the temperature dropped to 40 degrees, which was the limit. However, as time went by, the temperature under the extreme cold had completely exceeded the limit of the human body, and many people were already lying dying at home.
Almost all the things that should have been used to light the fire for warmth had been burned. Some people even took off their clothes and burned them, just to let themselves feel the warmth for a moment.
But the result of doing this is to make yourself die faster.
Almost everyone in the entire High-tech Zone fell into despair. Only then did they fully understand that the so-called apocalypse was far more terrifying than you imagined.
However, in reality, the most terrifying thing is often not the disaster, but the harm between people in the face of disaster and life and death, whether intentional or unintentional.
Dingshengjiayuan.
Two thirty-five in the morning.
Unit 2 402.
A couple hugged their daughter tightly and huddled in a room of their own, shivering from the cold.
The daughter was only six years old, and her body was thin and thin. She could not withstand such a severe cold. However, in order for her daughter to survive, the couple took off all their down jackets and wrapped them tightly around their daughter.
Parental love is the purest and most sincere love in the world. Even if they die, they will protect their children.
"Dad, I'm so hungry..."
At this moment, the little girl lying in the arms of her parents slowly raised her head and said something aggrieved.
Her name is Niao Niao, she is very sensible, and she was once the best-learned child in the class.
Originally, she wanted to endure this hunger until the food was distributed tomorrow, but because the cold had taken away all the energy from her body, she finally couldn't help it.
Hearing her daughter's words, her mother, who was already unconscious, subconsciously opened her eyes and hugged her daughter tighter reflexively.
But there was nothing she could do about her daughter's hunger, because all the survivors in the Hi-tech Zone were given rationed food every day. If they wanted to eat, they had to wait until early tomorrow morning for someone to deliver it.
if...
If the food last night had not been taken away by that person, my daughter might not be so hungry.
The mother hugged her daughter tightly and thought silently in her heart. She couldn't help but begin to hate the man who snatched the food last night.
But the man was too strong, and he didn't look like a good man. The husband couldn't beat him.
"Niao Niao, what's wrong?"
The father who was leaning on the bedside seemed to have realized that his daughter had just spoken. He turned his head hesitantly and asked weakly.
His lips had begun to turn purple due to the cold, and there were obvious scars on his cheeks, which were injured when he argued with the man last night.
"Dad, I'm so hungry..."
Niao Niao poked his head out of his down jacket and said with an aggrieved look.
"Niao Niao, please hold on a little longer, and daddy will find you something to eat."
The man hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed and said, as if he had made up his mind.
"Where are you going to find food in the middle of the night?"
The woman turned her head weakly to look at her husband and asked in confusion.
She knew that there might not be any food leftovers in the entire community, let alone in this room.
"I'll go find Captain Wu. Captain Wu is a good person. Maybe he can be accommodating..."
"Niao Niao is still young, and the weather is so cold. If he continues to be hungry, something may happen."
The husband said weakly, struggled out of bed, and prepared to leave.
"Put on a down jacket. It's very cold outside. Who knows how low the temperature will be now."
The woman looked at her husband, who was only wearing single clothes. As she spoke, she made a gesture to lift off the down jacket covering herself and her daughter.
"No, I'm a man, I can handle it."
"You guys wait for me here, don't get frozen, and take good care of your daughter."
The husband hurriedly stopped his wife, shook his head, and squeezed out a smile that reassured his wife.
"I will go with you!"
At this time, the door of a nearby wardrobe opened, and a man wearing only single clothes came out of it. As he spoke, he stood up to follow, his body obviously stiff.
He is Niao Niao's uncle, and his down jacket was also given to Niao Niao's mother and daughter.
The four of them became a family of four and were assigned to this room.
"can you?"
The crooked father turned his head and looked at it, and asked slowly.
"What's wrong? Niao Niao is my nephew, and I have the responsibility to take care of her."
"Besides, I can't let you go alone. What if you encounter zombies? Although they haven't appeared for a long time, you'd better be careful."
Niao's uncle said while pushing Niao's father.
He also had injuries on his body, all of which were beaten by that man, just because he ate one bite.
Just like that, two ordinary men who were desperate to protect their families walked out of the bedroom with their necks hunched, walked through the living room, and opened the door while curling up.
But it seems that Niao Niao's uncle seems to be stronger, but it is only compared with Niao Niao's father.
"Close the door quickly! Are you looking for death in the middle of the night?!"
It's that man's voice.
As the door slammed shut, the two men huddled up and came to the cold corridor, moving slowly along the stairs.
It was obvious that the temperature in the corridor was lower than that in the room, and even the handrails on the stairs were covered with frost.
It seems that the temperature has dropped a lot tonight.
Not long after, the two people, one after the other, finally reached the first floor and walked out of the unit door.
But as soon as they opened the door to the building, a biting cold wind blew in their faces, penetrating their thin bodies almost instantly.
It seemed that snow had already fallen in the sky, and it was completely white.
Naughty father couldn't help but sneeze. Just when he was about to speak, he found that his lips were trembling so much that he couldn't open his mouth. So he could only turn his head and signal to his brother-in-law, confirm the direction of the safe house, and quicken his pace.
"Brother-in-law, something is wrong. This...why does it feel like the temperature outside is dropping every second?"
"I can hardly...can't move anymore..."
The naughty uncle was trembling all over, looking at his brother-in-law walking in front, and said with some confusion.
"Don't say...talk...talking will consume the heat in your body...walk quickly..."
The crooked father said with trembling lips, and when the words fell, his whole body began to tremble.
At this time, he also realized something was wrong, because the temperature seemed to drop by one degree with every step he took, as if he had seen a ghost.
There were two crooked footprints left on the snow behind him, and he was stumbling.
Then, Niao's father suddenly stopped and stood motionless.
"Let's go... let's go..."
Niao's uncle was stunned for a moment, pushed his brother-in-law who suddenly stopped, and urged him in confusion.
But Niao's father still stood there without any reaction.
The naughty uncle hesitated for a moment in confusion, then moved with difficulty and came to the front of his brother-in-law. He couldn't help but open his stiff mouth in fear.
At this time, Niao Niao's father was completely stiff. Only his eyes were still moving, but his eyes were full of endless fear.
Immediately afterwards, the naughty uncle suddenly discovered that ice had begun to form on his brother-in-law's body, and his whole body slowly turned white, as if he was wearing a white coat.
However, just when he wanted to continue questioning, he found that his brother-in-law's eyes had stopped moving, his eyes were distracted, and his entire face was instantly covered with frost!
The naughty uncle was startled. He was about to reach out and slap the frost off his brother-in-law's body, but found that the arm he had just raised halfway suddenly froze and could no longer be lifted.
Immediately afterwards, he saw that the surrounding snowflakes instantly turned into ice and spread rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the entire community turned into a sheet of snow-white, and the moonlight shone on it, constantly reflecting light!
Then, he could only move his eyes...
Then, he lost the last trace of consciousness...
...
safe house.
Duanmu style room on the top floor.
Duanmu Feng stood quietly in front of the window, watching the snowflakes falling in the wind outside the window and hitting the glass, and then instantly turned into ice.
His brows were furrowed, because he knew that from now on, the glacial season would come in depth!
Fortunately, the windows were closed at this time. Even he couldn't expose himself to the cold all day long. A person's endurance is limited, even if he is different from ordinary people.
Behind him stood Tang Jun and Wu Jun, both of whom looked solemn...
