The apple skin is thin and crisp, and the taste is sweet and delicious.

Lin Zhensheng stood outside the apple orchard, watching citizens rushing inside to harvest, and then looked at the countdown.

[Danger Alert: Cold Wave Warning]

【Day 0:16:45:23】

【Day 0:16:44:22】

Hmm.

We are still running out of time, everything is coming in a hurry.

Lin Zhensheng took out a chair and sat down.

【Ding】

【You have a new SMS message.】

[Shengdongdong: Brother Lin, we don’t need to withdraw this wave, right?]

Sheng Dongdong has been telling Lin Zhensheng about this matter since a few days ago.

A cold wave warning means a big drop in temperature.

Sheng Dongdong also made it clear: "Going back to the base camp may not be any better. It's better to stay in Zhongshan."

To be honest, the living conditions in the Zhongshan sub-territory are better than those in the base camp. At least every wooden house is equipped with an earthen stove.

If you feel the cooling is serious, turn on the firewood immediately to raise the temperature.

But the base camp is different.

In the early days of construction, there were so many people in each three-connected wooden house that no space was given to install earthen stoves.

Cooling down is equal to hard resistance.

Even so, Lin Zhensheng still wanted Shengdongdong and them to come back.

There is indeed no earthen stove in the wooden house at the base camp and it is impossible to make a fire, but the advantage is that the altitude is low. Even if the [cold wave warning] comes, the temperature will be reduced and people can withstand it.

Zhongshan Iron Mine is located on the mountainside of Zhongshan, with an altitude of over a thousand meters.

Normally, the temperature in the mountains is six to seven degrees lower than that at the base camp. What’s more, when a cold wave occurs, the temperature drop will even exceed the bottom line.

What if... let’s just say what if, even if you light the earthen stove and you can’t resist it, what should you do?

Are you waiting for someone to go up the mountain to collect their bodies?

Or should they be able to evacuate Zhongshan safely as soon as they see something is wrong?

One wrong step, one wrong step.

You can make waves in terms of material resources, but you must act steadily and be careful in this regard.

Even though Sheng Dongdong had been trying to persuade Lin Zhensheng these past few days, Lin Zhensheng's answer to him had never changed.

[Lin Zhensheng: Pull back together with the people at the outpost.]

[Midwinter: Received.]

Lin Zhensheng turned off the channel and couldn't help but look towards the base camp.

The buildings are in groups, well-proportioned, clearly divided, and organized in a reasonable manner, but there are a lot of people living in each room.

Only five people live in each Sanlian citizen cabin in the Zhongshan sub-territory, but fifteen people live here in the base camp.

The wooden house is indeed crowded with people, and there is no room to buy new furniture, but Lin Zhensheng feels that it has not reached the point of expansion.

Besides, citizens usually don’t stay indoors. They work outdoors almost throughout the day. When they return to their rooms, it’s already dark, so they fall into bed and go straight to sleep.

Rather than saying that Sanlian Citizen's Wooden House is their home, it is better to say that it is a construction site dormitory, which has nothing to do with the word "home".

Just wait.

I can no longer live in it and are building a new extension.

Maybe we can wait until they ask for it.

………………

The apple orchard has been harvested, and the output is just as Lin Zhensheng expected, five tons.

The total number of apple stocks now reaches 21.5 tons.

Very good.

It’s enough to feed the people in the territory for a long time.

The next day, Lin Zhensheng finished breakfast, arranged for citizens, distributed cold-resistant materials such as straw blankets, and reminded them to close doors and windows.

Afterwards, I returned to the wooden bed, wrapped two layers of straw blankets around my body, and silently watched the blood-red countdown.

【0 days:00:00:03】

【0 days:00:00:02】

【0 days:00:00:01】

【0 days:00:00:00】

[Danger Alert: Cold Wave Warning] has begun.

Phew~

The wind rises.

A cold wind hit Beishan from north to south. At that moment, ice crystals covered the green trees on the mountain, as if they were frozen.

This cold current did not break through Beishan, but jumped up and turned towards Zhongshan.

Zhongshan is not half as high as Beishan, so it cannot stop such a fierce cold current.

The temperature dropped extremely.

The cold current instantly covered the entire Zhongshan Mountain. A layer of frost was visible to the naked eye on the exposed iron ore in the Zhongshan Mountain, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a layer of ice one centimeter thick.

And this is just the beginning.

The cold current cannot always rush upward. Instead, it presses the river channel and hits the cliff of the North Mountain, leaving a layer of ice crystals on it, and then flows into the plain.

An invisible cold air swept across the prairie, and the temperature dropped by at least ten degrees wherever it went.

Hitting the wooden walls of the wooden houses in the territory, there was not only wind and sand, but also a whistling whistle.

Too fast.

It’s so fast that you can’t react.

Lin Zhensheng saw the frost on the door and didn't even feel the change in temperature. When he breathed out the hot breath, it turned into white mist and floated in the air. The next second, he shivered, and the chill suddenly rose from the ground, biting the bone.

"Eh~~~"

Lin Zhensheng subconsciously tightened the straw blanket around him, and his whole body was forced to become energetic.

When my eyes became cold, I thought it was caused by the cold air, but it turned out that my eyelashes were wrapped in the cold air and covered with hoarfrost.

Lin Zhensheng could only hide his whole body in the grass blanket, leaving no gaps.

Needless to say, the thermal insulation effect of this straw blanket is still good, especially the double layer. The whole person is wrapped in it, and it is impossible to keep warm. You can feel the coolness outside, but it will never freeze you.

Are you going to survive the tribulation in Zhongshan?

It's just a joke.

Lin Zhensheng estimates that there won't be heavy snowfall in Zhongshan Mountain now, and the temperature will drop directly to below zero.

If I'm still staying up here in the middle of winter, I'm afraid I'll have to walk around the earthen stove all the time.

Otherwise, people will be completely cold, physically.

You'll freeze to death.

As time passed by, the cold air not only did not weaken, but gradually intensified.

Lin Zhensheng felt itchy all over his body, with a slight pinprick pain.

"Ha~~~"

Rub your hands together.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but he always feels like the bones in his body are cracking and his muscles are sore.

What's going on?

Toes scratching.

But Lin Zhensheng didn't dare to move. He was afraid that if he moved, the hot air inside the straw blanket would make him fan out.

Only hardness.

Lin Zhensheng needed to distract himself, so he opened the channel.
