Chapter 195 Cold Wave
[Only released by Jinjiang Literature City]
When the howling wind raged outdoors, Youxi and the other four, who had successfully completed the first trip mission, had already been in a safe floating villa.
Most of the exterior walls and base materials for building the villa are driftwood. Although driftwood is called wood, its hardness is actually comparable to metal. In addition, the characteristic double-layer explosion-proof glass and eight giant steel columns that lock the suspended villa firmly. Even if people in the villa can hear the wind outside and feel the slight trembling of the suspended villa in the wind, there is no need to worry that such strong wind will damage the villa.
You Xi woke up as soon as the wind blew, and she called Xingmin, who was sleeping in the next room. The two of them went to the platform window where the low-altitude hover car was parked.
They cooperated, one to dispel the fog, and one to quickly transfer the cars on the platform to the transportation space.
Fortunately, she was prepared before entering this world and left a space for transportation. Otherwise, the Star House Warehouse, which is full of supplies, wouldn't be able to put the car in at once.
However, the car can be put away, and the villa can prevent strong winds, but the subsequent cooling is still unpredictable.
Not long after, Hei Mu also woke up. He wrapped himself in a thick coat, took another thick down jacket, and went to the central control room of the attic. It was Yan Shang's turn to be on duty tonight, which is close to the roof, which is colder than downstairs.
He wrapped a blanket, held a cup of hot water poured out of the electric heating kettle in his hand, and was still working hard on the night shift.
In addition to air conditioning, the villa is also equipped with floor heating. It is an environmentally friendly and energy-saving carbon crystal floor heating. It is a fast and durable heating. However, even such environmentally friendly and energy-saving floor heating requires electricity.
When the indoor temperature is less than fifteen degrees, the carbon crystal floor heating that has been connected to the power supply will automatically start and start heating, pushing the indoor to about twenty-five degrees.
However, this function was disconnected due to Heimu's plan to save electricity. Fifteen degrees is not an unbearable temperature, but after turning off the automatic heating, it will save a lot of power to the villa.
He didn't expect that the temperature would drop so quickly. Before going to bed, there were thirteen or four degrees. Now even the room temperature has dropped to minus three or four degrees. The temperature outside should be even lower.
Hei Mu came up to connect the floor heating in the two rooms of You Xi and Xingmin. They could withstand it by wearing it thicker, but taking care of the owner was his duty. He gave Yan Shang the thick down jacket and then turned on the floor heating in You Xi's room.
Just then, the door of the central control room opened and You Xi walked in.
She also came to turn on the floor heating. When she saw Hei Mu step ahead of her, she walked over and took a look, and she had a "resolute" expression.
"I guess you only open two rooms." She said, directly connecting all the floor heating in the villa. "If you install floor heating, you need to use it. You only open the rooms, corridors, living rooms, and dining rooms. Isn't it still the same cold when going downstairs to have dinner tomorrow? There is also the central control room in the attic. People on duty every day have to sit all day and night. Look at Yan Shang's ears are red because of the cold..."
Suddenly being named by You Xi, Yan Shang was stunned for a moment, especially when he heard his name say it from her, his originally cold ears began to heat up. Fortunately, they were all red, so the other party would not discover his abnormality.
A few days ago, among the four followers, he was actually the one who communicated the least with You Xi.
It’s not that he didn’t want to, but that she seemed to be a little alienating him intentionally or unintentionally. He didn’t know if these were his own illusions, but in fact, after a few nights of crazy life in the club, she never took the initiative to make such demands on him again.
At first a few days, because the "Red Lotus" disaster suddenly fell, and the surroundings changed drastically, and he felt that she should not be in that mood.
But after coming to this villa, life became calmer. Even if there was a fog outside, they were still in a state of lack of water, electricity and food in the villa.
She would deliberately tease Hei Mu and tell him not to be so frugal. She would discuss more reasonable physical training arrangements with Jian Shou, and would take him with him every time she went out. She would accompany him to train every day at Xi Yuan's request, and conduct strict fighting teaching in person one-on-one...
But he was the only one who looked like a transparent person in her eyes.
From the moment he developed consciousness, he knew his identity and what kind of existence he and Xiyuan were.
For him, a master like You Xi is much better than those who have all kinds of quirks, special requirements or preferences for beating.
But even so, it cannot change the fact that he can only obey and cannot refuse.
He could only tell himself that this was a job and how he felt was not important, but that it was always obedient - when the master needed it.
So at the beginning when the other party no longer had any requests, he felt relaxed for a while.
But I don’t know when some things have changed.
When she was fighting Xi Yuan step by step, he would suddenly think of how he had touched her; when she smiled and teased Hei Mu, he would look at her lips and recall the temperature above; when she showed a trust in Jane Shou, he would think of her expression at night...
He was panicked about this, and while cutting off those thoughts, he would restrain himself again and again.
He didn't expect that a person who had ever had any intimacy would make him feel palpitations and infinite excitement just by just one sentence at this moment.
Yan Shang turned her head, restrained her heartbeat, and then focused on several surveillance screens - even if there was nothing there, it was always safe.
But as before, You Xi didn't seem to pay attention to his abnormality, and her attention never stayed on him for too long.
Hei Mu is still fighting for floor heating: "Sorry, my master, I'm not thinking well, but this consumes a lot of power, or it can open up several areas you need to use-"
"Carbon crystal floor heating is originally energy-saving, and the temperature can be preset. We don't need to be as high as twenty-five degrees. Turn it on and adjust it to about fifteen degrees. Isn't it enough to average it?"
Carbon crystal floor heating also has its native world, but like other floor heating, after starting to heat, the temperature regulation cannot be so fine.
However, floor heating in this world can be achieved, and it has achieved the ultimate in heating speed and average heat dissipation. It will not generate uneven heat and feel very comfortable.
In fact, with You Xi's current physical fitness, she was not afraid of the sub-zero temperature at all, and she didn't even notice it. After collecting the low-altitude car, she went back to the room to continue sleeping. It was later that Xingmin noticed the rapid cooling and notified her.
His body is relatively fragile and sensitive to temperature.
Not long after all the floor heating was turned on, the temperature in the attic slowly rose. You Xi squatted down and touched the floor, and went downstairs very satisfied.
Before Hei Mu left, he turned his head to look at Yan Shang. He was still staring at the surveillance screen with a gentle and calm face.
Hei Mu shook his head, sighed silently, and turned around and left the central control room.
The next day, the wind stopped, but the temperature did not rise, and the outdoor temperature was still around minus ten degrees Celsius.
This temperature is not particularly cold, and a thick down jacket can withstand it, but for most people who do not have cold clothes, even if they curl up in the building, they cannot withstand the bone-like chill.
Each building in the resort has actually been paved with floor heating, but in the event of power outage, if a fuel generator is used, it will increase a lot of consumption.
However, after the morning meeting, the troops quickly made a decision: the floor heating should be turned on! However, not every house, they would use fully enclosed small trucks to safely transfer some people, concentrate them into several buildings, and turn on the floor heating of these buildings.
Of course, if the living space is greatly compressed, there will definitely be many problems, but compared to freezing to death, these are just small problems.
In addition, there is a batch of carpets and floor mats in the army, which will be distributed all of them. They only hope that the temperature will not continue to plummet.
If they fall by more than ten degrees, they can't hold on!
Fortunately, the cooling incident only happened once, and it looked like an exception.
In the next two or three days, there were only a few strong winds that were not long, and the temperature did not drop again. Occasionally, it would rise to around zero during the day, which is quite in line with the current seasonal temperature.
What is most troublesome to the troops at present is the water feeding problem caused by the trapped fog. Only two-thirds of the water feeding materials that the team members risked to bring back before were left.
They have to continue going out, and this time they even want to get a batch of thick cold-proof supplies back.
But in the past, there was a headquarters dispatch, and troops from different shelter sites would not bump into one place when searching for supplies. But now they have to arrange a few more reserve locations. If the place they went is just searched by other troops, they have to change the place immediately.
In this way, the time will be longer and the risk will be greater.
The troops that had gone out were attacked by terrible blood bubbles. The red and white liquid left on the team's protective suits and the newly condensed soft tissue were all taken into the scientific research room.
The research department has been doing targeted research these days, and there are still many things that cannot be understood about the components in the software tissues. However, based on some characteristics of the blood bubble human, such as silent attacks, infinite power, and basically useless attacks on other parts except the head, they temporarily developed a "spider power network".
This kind of power grid is very thin and small when stored. However, through a transmitter, it can be opened and shot out instantly, covering the entire blister, and at the same time it will generate electric current and then shrink.
No matter how strong the blood bubbles are, they cannot break free from this soft metal mesh. Once their actions are controlled, they can easily hit the other party's head.
Three days later, a new material search team set out to rectify, and there were also members who went out the previous time. They had experience traveling in the fog and could help some.
During this trip, the outdoor temperature was around minus three or four degrees. Not long after the car drove out, the captain who was sitting in the first car noticed a difference.
The gray fog around seemed to have become a little thinner.
At the same time, the villa is suspended.
"The gray fog has indeed become thinner." Xingmin, who was standing by the window, turned around. The fact that the gray fog has become thinner failed to let his frown brows loose.
He and You Xi both knew that if the disasters were not limited to these, the subsidence of the second disaster would mean the arrival of the third disaster.
"The wind should be blowing away the gray fog? Could it be that the next serious disaster is a hurricane?" If it is a hurricane that reaches the end of the world, I don't know if this suspended villa can hold on.
"It's not clear yet, it may be low temperatures." Although Xing Min was worried, he had already decided to keep her way out.
He can use his energy barrier to wrap the low-altitude hover car and go to other relatively safe places. The low-altitude hover car is not large in area, so he really wants to hold on, so he can hold on for a while.
At that time, the identity of the body he chose this time would also be useful - he did not just choose a dying person casually.
【Don't worry, with me here, you won't die.】
When You Xi looked out the window, a familiar system sounded in his mind.
Compared to Xingmin's voice this time, such a neutral system sound can make her feel more at ease.
She looked back at him: "Thank you."
The other party looked at her, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "I said it before."
Youxi:…?
[Star House is just a carrier, or a communicator between you and me, it is not my essence.]
You Xi:…?????
[If you really want to thank me, I hope to thank you in person after entering the mission world.]
Youxi:…………
"So, counting the previous one, you owe two thanks." He looked at her and gently raised the corners of his lips.
You Xi held his forehead and asked sincerely: "What do you want to thank you? A large plate of mixed vegetables and fruits? A whole vegetable hotpot? Chocolate fruit waterfall?"
Xingmin:...
Two days later, the convoy who was looking for supplies set out on their return journey.
In the past two days, several strong winds have occurred, and the temperature has risen and fallen, and remained between minus three degrees to ten degrees.
Their luck seemed to be better this time than last time, and the blood-red software fell on the body of the car was much less, almost rarely seen. But their luck seemed to be exhausted on the return trip.
On a narrow path, they were attacked by a large number of blood bubbles, and they pounced on their cars, and the red and white liquid splashed from their bodies blurred the windshield windows of the car.
The tires were blocked, and the car seemed to be stuck in sludge and it was difficult to move forward.
They were at the point of being passive from the beginning, and even if they got off the car and used spider power grids, they would not deal with many of them, and they would eventually be surrounded by them.
More than half an hour later, the trapped team members finally couldn't bear it and planned to get out of the car and fight the other party desperately.
However, outside the car, strong winds were blown up again, as if it was time to get a fixed wind every day.
The team members all hoped that the wind would be stronger, so that they would be able to sweep away all these disgusting monsters, but even if it was a strong wind, there was no way for people to use such blood bubbles. They were not afraid of the strong wind and were still lying on the body of the car, like maggots on their tars, trying to break the glass.
Suddenly, the blood bubble lying on the windshield of the first car seemed to have been cut by something. It stalemate for a second, and then the blood bubbles on its body exploded. After a disgusting liquid splashed with glass, it slowly slid down from the front cover of the car.
The captain and the team members sitting in the car were shocked.
