In the next few days, there was a commotion online, and many people began to rush to buy supplies. They also heard the sound of cars going out from nearby residents... The government responded quickly and quickly sent people to repair circuits, barely restoring power to some areas.
Pang He called over with a look of joy on his face: "Thankfully, Brother Yan, you reminded me, otherwise our family would definitely be freezing this time!"
Many people looked lucky, but Xihe knew that the real difficulties were yet to come. Just a few days later in the evening, a cold wave that he had never encountered before swept across.
At that time, Xihe was clearing snow in the yard with Tan's father and others. A cold air rose from the soles of her feet. She turned her head subconsciously and saw a large white mass of cold air rolling in not far away. Her pupils shrank and she shouted loudly. : "Go to the basement!"
He grabbed Tan's mother and Tan's father and rushed into the house. Zhou's father and others subconsciously followed behind.
Grandpa Tan and the other elderly people were still worriedly contacting their nephews and nephews they knew in the past, telling them to protect themselves. Before they could finish speaking, they were dragged into the basement by Xihe and others.
"What, what's going on?" Mr. Tan asked hurriedly.
Xihe didn't answer. She saw Zhou Yan accidentally falling to the ground, and Zhou Yan went to carry her, but the wall a few steps away was covered in ice inch by inch... The others were so scared that they covered their mouths and their pupils widened.
Xihe rushed over, and when the ice hit him, he and Zhou Yan worked together to drag Zhou's mother downstairs.
The next second, the basement door closed with a bang.
The moment the door closed, they saw that the tables, chairs and other furniture in the living room were all eroded, frozen into ice cubes, and spread around, and the glass windows cracked.
"Look!"
Father Tan pointed at the door.
Frost squeezed into the cracks in the door and crawled toward the walls and floor.
Xihe made a quick decision: "Go to the second underground floor!"
Everyone hurried to the second underground floor and closed the heavy iron door. Bingshuang was finally blocked from the door.
After taking a short rest, everyone's hearts were beating fast and their faces were extremely pale: "Nu Nu, what is this?" They huddled on the second floor underground, listening to the crunching sounds outside, and their hearts were in confusion.
The kind of overwhelming ice is unforgettable once you see it. It makes your scalp numb just looking at it.
They all looked at Xihe, hoping that the situation would not be so bad.
Xihe pursed his lips: "Cold current!"
Everyone's hearts sank instantly.
Grandma Tan doesn't know what the cold wave means, but others have read books and watched TV, and know that this kind of situation has not happened for thousands of years, and it is so menacing that it is probably more terrifying than the one in the movie... through the thick curtain They could all feel the bone-chilling coldness of the iron gate.
At this time, outside, the cold air was invincible from north to south.
High-rise buildings and buildings were frozen at a speed visible to the naked eye. There were ice cities on the ground. Many people were frozen in fear and running away, and their screams were intercepted in their mouths. However, the cold air did not stop, but continued to move southward, and the ice Seal thousands of miles.
The power went out, the radio stopped, and the world was dead silent.
In the basement of the villa, everyone quickly turned on the heater and burned coal to dispel the cold air coming from all directions.
In just a few minutes, the wall and iron door became cold. Tan's father touched it with his hand and felt a bone-chilling pain. The heating and coal were both turned on, and water droplets quickly appeared on the wall. , endlessly damp.
"This, this cold wave is too terrible."
Tan's father looked in disbelief.
Tan's mother was also frightened, but she still cursed: "You know it's scary, why don't you come over and help?!"
We were all adults. Although we were panicked, we quickly calmed down and started burning charcoal and clearing the air pipes.
The oxygen supply in the basement was insufficient. If the gas pipe was frozen, they would be suffocated to death if not frozen to death by the cold wave. Even Grandma Tan immediately rushed over to help without complaining.
After cleaning up, everyone sat on the bed to rest, and Father Tan and Father Zhou started cooking.
Because they had been prepared in advance, the basement was fully prepared, with plenty of water and food, so the two of them cooked a big meal.
The two families sat at the table to eat, the heating was warm, and the water dripping from the wall flowed to the underground pipes along the ditch specially dug at the base of the wall. After the meal, Zhou Yan went to wash the dishes and pots.
The generator in the villa was still working, so everyone could still tell the time, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.
There was a meeting after dinner that day. Father Tan and Father Zhou agreed that they should go out and take a look: "It has been a month, and the situation outside should be stable."
The main reason is that life in the basement is not easy. They are afraid that the gas pipe will be frozen, so they have to blow the heater on the gas pipe every day. The entire basement is very humid. The four elderly people are already old. After such a torment, they suffer from arthritis and other diseases. They all came to the door.
Every day we see several elderly people forcing themselves to smile and tell them that they are fine even though they are in severe pain, which makes everyone feel particularly uncomfortable.
The other is that facing the fear of the unknown, everyone has had a knife hanging over their heads since arriving at the villa, and they all know that the end is coming.
Before the Internet was disconnected, they looked for a lot of doomsday themes to watch. No matter how miserable the movie was, everyone would be panicked. Can they really survive before such a natural disaster?
In the entire basement, except for Grandma Tan, who was very confident in her granddaughter, everyone else was very worried about the situation in front of them.
"Nu Nu, do you think we can go out now?"
Xihe looked at Zhou's father and had to say that he was very capable of making a name for himself in Shenzhen City.
Since arriving in City Z and knowing the situation, he has taken the initiative to take on the important responsibilities of the two families. All kinds of supplies have been prepared, and Tan's father followed him with peace of mind and followed the arrangements.
Thinking of this, she nodded: "Okay."
After staying there for a month, she was tired of it, and she also had things to do.
Xihe nodded, and the others naturally had no objection. After putting on thick cotton-padded jackets, Father Zhou and Father Tan stepped forward and opened the iron door.
The door crack opened, and a stream of cold air rushed in. Zhou Yan took a thermometer and measured it. It was about minus 35 degrees Celsius! Everyone gasped, it's so cold now, how cold it will be when the cold wave comes!
Afterwards, the iron door was opened, and the first floor of the basement was almost covered with ice, and the food was frozen into lumps of ice.
Father Zhou had a heavy face, and handed Father Tan and Zhou Yan each a hammer. The three of them smashed the door on the first floor of the basement hard, breaking the lock, and finally pushed the door open with all their strength.
Huhuhu——
The cold wind howled in through the cracked window, and there was a sky of ice and snow outside.
The entire villa seemed to have become a house of ice and snow. The firewood piled in the corner was covered with a thick layer of ice. When the hammer hit it, it left a shallow mark. Zhou Yan took out the thermometer and shivered: "It's below zero." Forty degrees Celsius.”
Hiss, everyone took a breath of air.
