Chapter 23 Winter

For Chen Nuo and the others, it has been three months since the new general Zhao Renfu took office. It is said that his inauguration ceremony is quite lively. But even if he was appointed as the North City Sheriff, Chen Nuo was not invited to attend the ceremony.

The three months have changed a lot for the orphans. First, the orphan school and orphan camp were officially abolished and became the current security army in Beixue Town.

There are three similar towns established at the same time, which is equivalent to establishing three satellite towns as barriers in the north of Lin'an Prefecture City. Of course, it may also be a bridgehead to attack the northern wilderness, but Chen Nuo thinks that the barrier should be more correct.

As for why he thought it was a barrier, because it was already winter. Although the monsters did not have the strength to launch an attack like the city, the troops in the city also did not have the strength to expand to the north.

Thick heavy snow turned most of the surrounding areas of the city into white. Although it is not uncommon for Daxia, it is rare to snow in Lin'an Prefecture, but there are very few snow accumulations of more than 30 centimeters. However, Chen Nuo knew very well that when they arrived, sometimes you can no longer use meteorological information to define the current weather on Blue Star.

Once Blue Star was still worried about the melting of glaciers on both poles, but now the remaining satellite cloud map shows that the poles have completely turned into new ice and snow. Whether the north or south ice sheets are at least three times the area of ​​the past, even before a satellite monitoring the Arctic fell, a huge castle made of ice and snow stood at the Arctic pole.

I have already understood the changes in the world. The top leaders of Blue Star naturally know that the Ice and Snow Castle may be from a certain Ice and Snow God. Of course, it may not be a god but just a strong man who controls the rules of ice and snow. However, neither of them can be dealt with by the extremely weak Blue Star survivor government.

Chen Nuo knew that after the heavy snow fell, there were many people in the northern city claiming to be the goddess of ice and snow, or the believers of the cold winter, Elene said that the heavy snow was brought down by their gods. The two sides also fought to fight for who was the snow, which was the most funny thing in this period.

Of course, Daxia is not the most chaotic. After all, although the troops in Daxia failed due to insufficient troops in some places, and even the southeastern region was cut off due to the loss of the south. However, the central cities are still very close. Chen Nuo also heard that in the central areas close to the north, orphans like them do not have to work but learn knowledge well and become more useful people.

Unfortunately, they are now in the area closest to the coast of Daxia. In a word, they are too far away from heaven to hell. Of course, they may also be very close to heaven, just wipe their necks.

In this cold winter with sudden temperatures, there is no heating system in the south. In addition, after the war of change and change, even the pipeline gas has long been gone. There is no electricity or heating. There is only two ways to keep heating. One is to resist the body, and the other is to hold each other in a quilt to keep warm.

Although Chen Nuo and the orphans did not like the refugees who were thrown by the new governor, in order to avoid these people being frozen to death by winter nights, they could only reluctantly put most of the women and children in the school building. As for the men, they logged wood and burned charcoal under the supervision of Chen Nuo and the others, and renovated the dilapidated residential buildings.

Chen Nuo knew very well that the reason why the school was chosen to establish a defense town was very simple, that is, the remaining residential buildings around it. These residential buildings were once very valuable. Ten years ago, Chen Nuo's family generally required his parents not to eat or drink and work hard for ten years, and even the income of six grandparents and grandparents could barely meet the down payment of the houses around the school.

But now even if it is for nothing to those outside, they would probably rather huddle in the shacks in the city than stay in a house that required their salary for more than ten years to afford the down payment. The reason is very simple. These people all know that Beixue Town is the frontier of the city. What is the frontier is that it is a place where there are monsters going north.

For these people, if they were not forcibly driven away by the new governor general, they would rather huddle in the shack and freeze to death than come here. In the eyes of orphans like Chen Nuo and others, these seemingly strong adults are actually a group of scared cowards.

That's right! It's just a coward! Chen Nuo shook his head and looked at the guys who were scared to death because the bushes were blown by the wind when they were cutting trees with an axe, and they sighed because there were at least thirty-year-old guys who would cut a tree for a day, and they were simply a bunch of waste.

However, after three months, these wastes were finally useful. At least three people could cut down a tree a day and turned into one person a day. However, everyone understands how this change is caused. It is definitely not created by a few people hanging on the branches in the distance.

No matter how long they can't see the situation clearly, Chen Nuo and the others are indeed a group of half-aged kids, and even middle-class dolls on patrol. But no matter how hard their combat effectiveness is, they are not comparable to ordinary people who only know how to live in the city. After all, several years of militarized training have almost turned Chen Nuo and the others into professional soldiers.

"But you have to be careful! Don't capsize in the gutter! Like Cheng Zi, if Fatty Li hadn't shot, he would have been killed!" Chen Nuo said to Shen Rong and the others.

"That's because Cheng Zi was not prepared! But these guys are stupid enough! They were asked to cut wood for warmth. They would rather be hung to death than work, and they also sneaked into Cheng Zi and wanted to steal the gun!" Shen Rong said as he looked at the corpses that were dried by the cold wind and turned into frozen meat, shrinking his neck.

"Okay! Stop beating! Recently, the brothers who have mastered ripple qigong have reached more than fifty people! But the food consumption is too high! If this continues, everyone will starve to death until the end of winter!" Chen Nuo took a sip of water slowly. He knew very well that although the snow outside was already thick, winter had just begun.

"It's early January! Even if the snow melts and you can quickly harvest a batch of wheat, you have to wait until March and April! Our grain storage probably won't be able to support that time." Shen Rong said in a low voice.

"It should be said that I absolutely cannot support that time!" The only girl or tomboy who attended the meeting slowly pushed the useless glasses on her face, because she was smarter in the matter. Li Yun now manages the grain warehouse and the goods warehouse in the school.

"What about meat?" Chen Nuo murmured in a low voice.

"What I'm talking about is eating everything, including all the food!" Li Yun shouted loudly. "Don't you know that because of your big-bellied men who have rippled qigong, the food consumption has increased by three times compared to the past! The food that could have lasted until May can't even last for three months!"

"We can't blame us! Who knows that rippling qigong will consume so much food!" Fatty Li muttered in a low voice. He had only mastered rippling qigong recently, and Chen Nuo and the others poured him three times of rippling seeds before he could barely master them.

However, after mastering the ripple Qigong, Fatty Li's body improved rapidly. He was no longer the weak fat man who would pant if he was less than a mile away. Although the flesh on his body could not be completely transformed into muscles in a short period of time, his waist was two smaller in less than three days.

Of course, the result of sudden weight loss is that he can only find a straw rope to tie his pants, otherwise his pants will fall off as he walks.

"The question is what to do now?" Chen Nuo and the others looked face to face. The snow outside was too thick, and if there was really no food, they might have to go and chew the bark and grass roots.

While Chen Nuo and the others were thinking about how to solve the food problem, several refugees who had finished their day logging work moved back to their houses in difficult steps.

It is better to say it is a dormitory than a house. Women and children can live in schools protected by high walls, but these men do not have the treatment. They can only live in residential buildings together with a few or a dozen people. Fortunately, these residential buildings are not only a little broken windows, but other than the windows.

After holding the wet wooden board and then the dim wood burned and the fire emitted, these refugees who had worked hard for a day could finally take a break.

"Oh! Ma Liu! Why didn't you find your wife?" Several refugees who came back early looked at Liu Zi who walked into the room while patting the snowflakes and teased her. Yes! It's still that Liu Zi. But he now has a scar on his face, and his dark face is completely different from when he was under Mr. Ma before.

"Don't mention it! The woman ignored me now, saying that she would not allow me to get close to it to prevent the epidemic! My mother is so happy!" Liuzi said a little angrily, then squatted on the ground and took out a steamed bun from her pocket and was roasted close to the fire.

"Haha! I guessed it was like this! But Ma Liuhe deserves this day, who made you unreasonable in doing things!" The person who spoke was obviously unable to see Ma Liu's tone clearly with obvious sarcasm.

"What! I'm not authentic anymore?" Ma Liu said as he bit the steamed bun that was slightly hot.

"Where? Haha! Here!" The speaker pointed to his heart. Don't think I didn't see it. Last week, Zhao Gui came to you, so you didn't remind him." The man said and looked at Ma Liu with contempt.

"Why should I tell Zhao Gui and others what should I tell them? Remind them not to commit suicide! Tell them that those little kids are all killing babies? I didn't say it, just say it! It's Zhao Gui and others who are trying to die, and you can't stop the people who want to die. And Zhou Chu, don't think you are a good person!" Ma Liu didn't turn his head, but his voice was very rude.

"You!~~" Zhou Chu pointed at him a little annoyed when Ma Liu said it, and his voice became louder.

"What are you? Zhou Chu! Do you really think you are the director? Nowadays, let alone the director, it's useless! Whoever has big fists, listens to whom? Now those kids have bigger fists than us. I will follow Zhao Gui and the others when my brain gets watered! I'm already very kind and righteous without saying a report." Ma Liu felt that he was right. He was not someone like Zhou Chu and the others who came half a month later than him.

He came early, so he knew very well that the orphan here had a big fist, especially the one in the lead. He had dared to take it in front of Mr. Ma before, he thought that there was a relationship between Man Lei and Mang Liu behind him. Later, he realized that the fist was hard enough, so he dared to take it in front of Mr. Ma.

"A wild boar of more than 500 kilograms! The man broke the pig's forehead with one punch. Whose fist did you think is the bigger one?" Ma Liu murmured in a low voice, and then the knocking of the young soldiers from the training building sounded outside the door.

"Everyone is quiet! Go to bed early when the time comes, and you have to get up early tomorrow!" Luo Chong's voice sounded unceremoniously.

"I understand!" Several people responded weakly. After all, they would give a bun to satisfy their hunger at night, and it would be difficult for them to have the strength to cause trouble.
