Although the extreme cold continues, the natural disasters are merciless but gentle. The temperature has stayed at about minus 50 degrees, allowing the citizens of Xiangcheng to adapt to the cold weather.
I don’t know whether it is because the number of vulnerable people has decreased, or because humans have strong adaptability, and the mortality rate has gradually decreased.
The news about the Guangdong base spread, and a large number of surviving citizens poured into the North District. Even if new residents from Wanli Haoting joined Building 6, Splendid Garden was still inevitably requisitioned by the officials.
At the residents' meeting in Fairview Garden, the remaining residents were merged, and the residents of Building 4, who had always been closely related to Building 2, moved into Building 2. Pan Zhaofa and Pan Zhaoli naturally became the new residents of the 11th floor.
Pan Zhaofa and Pan Zhaoli often went out to run logistics. Although they considered letting them sleep directly at Shen Yichen's home, Chen Yuanyuan remembered that there were a large number of weapons in Shen Yichen's room, and it would be difficult to explain if they were discovered.
With other people around, it was inconvenient for Chen Yuanyuan to use the space, so he still let them live on the eleventh floor.
But the area outside is not as peaceful as the North District. There were a lot of frictions when some residents first moved in, which made the original residents of Fairview Garden live in fear.
Fortunately, Locke came forward and some temporary residents also stopped. At least they knew that the people in Building 2 should not be messed with.
Chen Yuanyuan was originally not in a hurry to go to the Guangdong base. After all, the tsunami that destroyed the entire Xiangcheng was still some time away, but now the environment of Splendid Garden is not as good as before.
Although it is not chaotic, it is still impossible to be as comfortable as before.
The new year is coming soon. Chen Yuanyuan and Zhang Linlin are writing Huichun in the living room, while He Yuehua and Grandma He are preparing new year's goods, and Liu Feiyang is still studying how to equip the car with weapons.
"Why are you drawing a snake? Isn't this the Year of the Dragon?" Zhang Linlin looked at Chen Yuanyuan's wave of spring and said.
"Go away, you're still in the Jurassic." Chen Yuanyuan looked at Zhang Linlin's Hui Chun. Although Zhang Linlin was an art student, her painting style was also cute, and she actually painted a few chubby dinosaurs.
He Yuehua, who was busy with New Year's goods, took the time to come over and take a look, and couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, if you can't help it, just post the Happy New Year that Locke sent last time." He Yuehua couldn't help complaining as she watched the two people's artistic display.
Just a few days ago, Locke came over with some New Year's goods, and also brought a pair of Huichuns written by himself.
When she filled out the application form last time, Chen Yuanyuan saw that Locke's Chinese characters were written in a messy way, but she didn't expect that his English calligraphy was still decent.
He has been performing missions in foreign countries for many years. Although he can speak Chinese, his writing is like ants crawling, so in order to express his feelings, he had to write "Huichun" in English cursive.
After the ink dried, several people pasted the Hui Chun flowers on the doors of each house, and suddenly it felt a bit like the New Year.
"Where is this posted?" Zhang Linlin teased Yang Locke.
"Let's stick to his good brother's house. He probably won't dislike him." Chen Yuanyuan pointed at Shen Yichen 1204's house and said while holding back a smile.
"Grandma, are your things ready to explode?" Zhang Linlin shouted to He Yuehua's door.
Grandma He hurriedly ran to the entrance and closed the door.
"Can't talk! Can't talk! You go outside and play." Grandma He did not forget to say before closing the door.
Chen Yuanyuan took the prepared New Year gifts to the neighbors on the 11th floor and took back a lot of gifts after going around.
The Chu family brought a large bag of dried fruits grown and processed by themselves to Chen Yuanyuan, and they also did not forget to give Chen Yuanyuan a tube of the black-tech plant nutrient solution brought back from the research institute.
"You can keep this nutrient solution until Guangdong City settles down, but it can save lives." Chu Junyi said.
Although the plant nutrient solution looks ordinary, it actually has something inside it that allows the plants to adapt to the current temperature and survive to fruition.
Although they will wither immediately after fruiting, some rare plants can indeed be saved if the weather changes suddenly.
Chu Junyi did not say it clearly, but Chen Yuanyuan guessed that the research institute also knew that there would be severe heat in the future, so it hurriedly developed nutrient solution.
Indeed, it is not the wilting of plants under extreme heat that is the biggest problem, but the subsequent extinction of most plants.
The Mo family and the mother-daughter family also made some New Year goods for Chen Yuanyuan. Although they were not expensive items, it was obvious that a lot of thought was put into making them.
"Sister Yuanyuan, we brought it back for you!" Pan Zhaoli brought a box of sauerkraut to Chen Yuanyuan. It turned out that they earned it while racing.
Chen Yuanyuan took a look and saw that there was still one month left before the shelf life, but it was no longer easy to find unexpired ones, and it seemed that it took them a lot of effort.
It’s late on New Year’s Eve, so today I specially prepared Xiangcheng’s unique Poon Choi.
Bamboo sticks, squid, pork skin, mushrooms, pheasant, dace balls, wild boar meat, fish maw, prawns, oysters, dried eels, more than 20 different ingredients plus sauces are placed in a basin, and then placed Heat in a cassette oven.
Since Pan Zhaofa and Pan Zhaoli would also come over to eat New Year's Eve together, Chen Yuanyuan deliberately only brought some canned food and ingredients found in the apocalypse.
Although there are restrictions on the raw materials, Grandma He's skillful hands still make it fragrant.
After a happy new year, Chen Yuanyuan began to prepare to leave for the Guangdong base.
Under Locke's arrangement, Chen Yuanyuan and his party were also placed in the convoy led by Pan Zhaofa. Although a special car was arranged, Chen Yuanyuan thought about it and decided to drive by herself for convenience.
Although five people were a little crowded in the RV, it was too uncomfortable to squeeze into the bus.
No matter who you take the car with, but now that gasoline is more expensive than gold, it will be difficult to live without heating in the car.
Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but think that in her last life, she could still survive living in the open, but in this life she had been raised to be a bit squeamish.
"Are you leaving here in five days? I'm a little reluctant to leave." Zhang Linlin said, looking at the house she had lived in for more than a year.
Although I didn’t live long, I slowly selected both the hard and soft furnishings. Yiyiwa also put a lot of thought into it. Now that I have to leave, I still feel reluctant to leave.
"Then I'm going to tear down my house in the next two days!" Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile.
After everyone discussed the move, they decided to move all the people on the twelfth floor to He Yuehua's home in the next few days, and then vacate the other three apartments first.
Chen Yuanyuan packed up most of the materials except for 1203, and the remaining hard furnishings and electrical appliances were dismantled as much as possible, trying to move the house into a rough house.
During the renovation, it was already anticipated that the house would be moved to the Guangdong base, so most of the furniture was not fixed and could be neatly stored in several rooms.
Liu Feiyang, who transformed into an electrician, was responsible for removing all fixed electrical appliances, including the TV, water heater, stove, exhaust fan, etc. Even the spotlights in the guest room were left behind.
With the convenience of space, moving is also a lot easier.
