Chapter 757: Snowy winter
The black cloud pressed the city, the wind blew, and there was a burst of yellow smoke and fog, and there was a faint frost and snow smell in the air...
"call"
The hexagonal diamond-shaped snowflakes are falling and falling, and the misty clouds cover the entire city, ethereal and desolate.
Yucheng is located in the extreme south of the Tian Dynasty. It has always been hot and humid in the weather. Even in the winter, there is little snow. Even if it is really snowing, it is just a very fine and fine snow. Why have you ever had such a big snow?
Almost all of the knee-like snow has accumulated on the ground. The whole world is white, like the sea of ??frost and snow, the snow shines on the heavens and the earth, and the silver is wrapped up. Today, the city is like a castle in an ice empire. .
"Pharaoh, you wear too little clothes, and you are frozen like."
"Hey, I know it's very cold...but the clothes that I can wear are already worn... In fact, it's okay, I will warm up when I do more work, hehe."
The middle-aged man named Lao Wang smiled thickly, revealing a white mouth full of mouthfuls, and spewing white cigarettes in his speech. The hair was covered with hoarfrost, and the rough cheeks had already been frozen. crack.
He wore seven or eight thick clothes and wrapped himself like a big fat man. However, these clothes were all dirty and old. At first glance, there was no warmth, so he wore so much. Still know how to tremble.
"This weather... It’s so cold, it’s too cold to say that it’s minus three or forty degrees? ***... It’s not unusual for the temperature to be in the north, but the air in the south is damp. It’s so cold as if it’s cold. Ice water, I was hiding in the bed last night and I was awakened in the middle of the night..."
Another middle-aged man with his arms around his teeth twitching, his neck is covered with a military old thick scarf and a cap on his head... It’s funny to wear a cap on such a cold day. He also wants to wear a warm hat, but the goods in the city are in short supply. A lot of warm clothing is not enough.
"Hey, this weather is getting more and more abnormal...and I haven’t said that I haven’t seen the sun for months. Now he’s still snowing... This is okay? Let’s not continue working? Snow Can you continue to build the city wall so big?"
"Hey. If you don't work, where can we get the gimmick? The whole family is counting on this job..."
"Yeah, the people in the army are not so kind, they are not willing to raise firewood... I want to eat well. I have to work for them..."
A large group of men surrounded each other, letting the wind blow down the face, the flowers fell on the face, the flowering water droplets of the city slide over the neck, and it was so cold that it was very gasping.
Today, it is the season of winter.
In this place in Tiannan Province, the past December is only late autumn. People usually wear only autumn clothes. Some strong children even wear short sleeves, but this year is different... because this year is the world. The first year of the last day. The Earth's magnetic field, climate, ecology, and the earth's crust have long been confusing. It is not unusual for the city to drop snow and snow in December, and the temperature dropped to minus 40 degrees.
Although it is not unusual, many people are still not prepared for psychological preparations, and they have not taken precautionary measures... they were immediately caught off guard.
Ask. In such a messy city in Yucheng, seven million ordinary citizens can't even eat enough food. Every day, people are starved to death. The quality of life is naturally very strange. As for the warmth, it is impossible to take care of both. The minimum temperature in a few months is only minus ten degrees. If you wear more clothes, you can take it for granted.
But now, the weather is cold enough to pee, it can be frozen, so cold people can't stand it, so the cold suddenly rises to the biggest enemy of survival!
The survivors who live in the building are quite comfortable... but there are also many poor survivors who have not yet been assigned to the house, and can only live miserably in the wooden sheds, piers, basements, abandoned houses, these buildings. There is no way to shelter the wind and rain, and the cold wind blows, and the guarantee can blow a cool heart...
I don't know how many people will freeze and die when the snow falls last night. Perhaps, after this cold current has passed, those who are frozen and dead have no chance to collect the body...
"Come here, quiet, the army is finally here!"
Suddenly, the crowd shouted such a sentence, many people who shivered in the cold wind quickly turned their heads, but they saw the snow in the goose, and sure enough, a group of soldiers were pushing a few small wooden cars and going to this side. Come.
"Everyone, how can we work in the cold snowy days, it must be very wronged and very hard... But if you are wronged and tired again, you must stick to it. The life of building the wall is not to be delayed. We have finally waited for this opportunity to breathe. You must not slow down the hard-won opportunity because of this snow..."
As an officer in the head, standing up with his hands, he raised his head in an imposing manner and said to the nearly 100 men.
"Liu Shaozhen... This is true, but this snow is not stopping, it is almost enough to kill people alive, the snow on the ground is almost as thick as the knees... You see..." Wang’s migrant workers bent down and said in a humble voice.
"Well, the army will naturally understand everyone... The workers who continue to work today can each receive three more gimmicks..." The officer patted the carriage of the small wooden car and smiled.
"Oh, great!"
The three gimmicks are too important for the survivors of the last days. Don’t think that only the fist-sized **** is very low, but this is enough for an adult man to have a meal, if you save some food, even enough for a whole day. The energy consumption is tantamount to a fortune for the brawny who want to support their families...
To be honest, the balance of the army is not much. Although the magical plants absorb the flesh and blood of the insects for nutrition, they can produce more than one million kilograms of grain per day, but they are still less than enough to distribute. The city is very realistic. The city, its focus is on people who tend to be useful, even if it occasionally sympathizes with the old, the weak and the sick, it is impossible to completely take care of the lives of the weak...
Yes, Yucheng is providing free food to the weak every day. The adults are two gimmicks and the children are gimmicks. However, this is simply not enough to eat. If you want to be hungry, then you will work for the army. To build a city wall, to build a house, to help carry it, to enlist in the army, to plant crops, to please the officers...
"In addition to the three gimmicks, the army will also distribute some insect eyes to each household. These insect eyes are high-energy fuels. When they are ignited, they will have a blazing flame that lasts for several hours, enough to warm at night. It’s up."
The officer's eyebrows picked and picked, and while he was talking, he also pulled out a dragon's eye from his pocket, which was as big as an orange. He used gloves to open the snow layer under his feet and put the insect eyes on the ground. I used a match to ignite the insect eyes, and when I saw it, I took out the blue flame. Then I burned it to the extreme. The fire was full one meter high. The heat that broke out was quite amazing. It was ten times stronger than the heater. !
This is the role of high energy insect eyes.
The insect eye of the first-grade medium-sized sickle beetle is used for illumination. The insect eye of the first-grade high-end red-shelled beetle is used for barbecue cooking. The insect eye of the second-order low-order dragon dragonfly can be used to dispel the cold. The biological energy contained in this gadget is high and scary. I don't know what the ingredients are. In short, its burning value is thousands of times that of coal!
As for the second-order mid-level insects, it is a strategic resource. It is more widely used and more rare. It is mostly used for casting, melting, enchanting, tactile, magical blessing, etc. Only the inheritors can use it, and certainly will not flow to the folk. of.
"Hey, when did the army become so generous..."
The crowd whispered in a whisper, and all of them had their eyes glazed. There was a sense of sorrow in the iron tree blossoming water. Since the accident of Commander Lu Dingyun, the army rarely dispatched supplies to ordinary survivors on a large scale. Even if there are only a small amount of food delivered, it is reasonable to say that the army has so far delivered so many low-level insects in the snowy days, but it still makes people feel unbelievable.
"The army has always been very generous, especially after the death of Roussin and Chusling, and after the commander took over the power..." the lieutenant coughed and opened the box on a small wooden car to reveal the low-level insect crystals inside. Called:
"Come and come, each person takes three insect crystals, which can be combined to strengthen the strength. Even if it cannot be integrated, it is an extra wealth for you..."
"Hey! Three insect crystals?"
The migrant workers who built the wall were all stunned, and then they burst into cheers, and all of them rounded their eyes and looked at each other.
Don't look at the three low-level insect crystals. It is very **** for the inheritors. Like Li Jiayu, Dye Hongxia, Yang An, Gu Qing, the super-level master, I am afraid that even watching will not look at the low-level insect crystal, but this thing for Ordinary people are still a long-awaited good baby. In the black market, a good low-grade insect crystal can even change ten kilograms of grain, and if it is a red-top beetle insect crystal that can raise the arm strength, it can lift the leg force. Spotted beetle insect crystal, it is even more valuable, at least can be fried to 30 pounds of food!
Thirty kilograms of grain, enough for an ordinary person to save for nearly two months, so the city will spread such a sentence: a low-level insect crystal is equivalent to a human life.
Not every ordinary person can combine the insect crystal to strengthen the body. About one-half of the talents have the qualification to integrate the insect crystal. The remaining half of the people must be weak ordinary people in their lifetime. It’s never possible to become stronger and have the power to protect yourself...
"Yes, it’s three insect crystals. You should be glad that the military has changed its policy... Now the policy that the Secretary has implemented is..."
The officers carefully glanced at the migrant workers and said one word at a time:
"All the people are soldiers!"
