Chapter 274
When the temperature dropped to 50 degrees, the temperature in the basement became a little cold. After discussing it, the Zhou and Qi families decided to move back to the apartment building.
We have air conditioning at home, so we can handle this temperature.
Before moving, Zhou Jianghai and Qi Mingyu specially replaced and repaired the solar energy equipment of both homes.
At that time, I thought these devices were not durable, so I stocked up on them.
I cleaned the house thoroughly inside and out.
Everyone chose a good day and moved.
The first night Zhou Shuwan moved back home, he let the whole family take a nice hot bath.
They had been in the underground safe house for so many days, and they had only done simple scrubbing and had not washed properly at all.
Zhou Shuwan was very conscious of being a girlfriend. She ran to the Qi family's bathroom, put out two clean wooden bathtubs, and filled them with hot water.
Qi Ming smiled in surprise: "Wanwan, you really are Doraemon, you have everything. Did you stock up on hot water too?"
Zhou Shuwan nodded: "During the flood, my water heater and faucets worked very hard."
"Okay, then I thank you very much. I also thank you on behalf of my grandma."
The Qi family lived in the Dong family's house. The Dong family's house was decorated in an old style and had a relatively old bathtub, so Zhou Shuwan simply put two new bathtubs in it.
Grandma Pang never cared about these details, and there was no need to worry about her asking further questions.
A few days later, the temperature dropped a few degrees again, reaching over 40 degrees.
After a few days, the temperature dropped to over 30 degrees.
The Zhou and Qi families, who had originally used air conditioning, stopped doing so.
In just two months, the temperature dropped rapidly, from over 70 degrees Celsius to over 20 degrees Celsius.
At this time, the people who moved out of the underground base had not yet moved out completely.
Due to concerns about unrest and stampedes, the underground base adopted a method of relocation in divided areas.
People in this community move today, and people in that community move tomorrow. No matter how much stuff they have, they are only given one day, and they must finish moving even if they have to stay up at night.
Tomorrow it will be the turn of the people from the next community to move in.
Therefore, the temperature dropped very quickly. The first people to move were still wearing short sleeves and almost went shirtless. By the time the last group of people were about to leave, they had to put on coats, otherwise the temperature would have become cold.
"Oh my god, this is really weird! It's not normal at all!"
Everyone was happy when the temperature dropped, but when it continued to drop, everyone started to panic again, worrying that the temperature would suddenly plummet. It would be difficult for people to go from high temperatures to extreme cold in an instant!
Fortunately, the temperature finally stopped at 26 degrees.
26 degrees is also the most suitable temperature for human survival.
After the survivors moved back home, they did not even bother to clean up their homes and joined the army in searching for supplies.
They had been locked up underground for two years and had almost run out of supplies at home.
Nowadays, food and water are difficult to find outside, but daily necessities such as clothes, toilet paper, quilts, furniture, etc. are also needed.
So, recently, not only is it lively outside, but the community is also lively.
Just like the building where Zhou Shuwan lives, not only did the two new tenants downstairs move back, but those who had moved out long ago also moved back.
The Zhou and Qi families did not deliberately hide the fact that they were cooperating in raising chickens. A few days later, Aunt Zhang from the third floor came to the door holding her grandson's hand.
She knew Zhou Shuwan was not someone to be trifled with, so she didn't go to Zhou's house first. Instead, she knocked on the door of Qi's house. After Qi Mingyu opened the door, she called out to Grandma Pang inside, "Hey, Grandma Pang, I haven't seen you in a few years. You don't look any older at all!"
Three and a half years after the end of the world, Grandma Pang is already 68 years old, but she still has a rosy complexion and is in good spirits, not looking old at all.
In contrast, Aunt Zhang has lived outside for several years, eating and drinking less. Her originally plump body has become skinny, the flesh on her cheeks is deeply sunken, her legs are extremely thin, and only a deflated belly is left, still reminding everyone of her former charm.
When Granny Pang first saw her, she didn't recognize her. It wasn't until she heard her distinctive loud voice that she realized what was happening. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Xiao Fen, how did you get so thin? You must have suffered a lot these past two years, didn't you?"
After the flood, the flooded houses could not be lived in directly. Originally, everyone was waiting to let the water dry before moving in, but God did not give them any chance. Not long after, the temperature soared to a level that was unbearable for humans.
When the underground base was built, Aunt Zhang and her family moved directly to the nearby underground base along with the original resettlement site.
So, we haven't seen each other for more than three years.
Aunt Zhang couldn't help but shed tears. She wiped her tears and pushed her grandson. "Oh, Grandma Pang, you don't know how much suffering our family has endured since leaving. My husband is dead, my son is dead, and only my daughter-in-law and I are left, along with this little debt collector!"
Grandma Pang was very surprised and took a few steps outside: "What's going on? Didn't you go to the resettlement site?"
Aunt Zhang shook her head and cursed loudly, "It's all God's fault. We had nothing to eat or drink when we went out. My husband had no choice but to go with his son to retrieve bodies and earn some hard-earned money... But who knew the water was so poisonous? They all caught diseases while moving the bodies, and with no money for treatment, they just died!"
Grandma Pang sighed: "How pitiful!"
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang took the opportunity to walk in: "Grandma Pang, let me tell you, we are really pitiful out there..."
Before he could finish his words, Qi Mingyu blocked his way.
He looked down at her, his attitude calm and favorable. "Aunt Zhang, after the apocalypse, we've suffered several home invasions, so we no longer welcome outsiders into our home. If you have anything to say, please speak outside."
Aunt Zhang's face turned red and then pale at these ruthless words. She immediately shouted, "How can you talk like that, kid! Grandma Pang, look at your grandson, a soldier of the people, how can you treat an ordinary survivor like this!"
Grandma Pang was initially excited to see her old neighbor and didn't think much of anything else. But after hearing what Qi Mingyu said, she suddenly realized what was happening and slowed down her voice: "Xiao Fen, my Xiao Yu is telling the truth. Not only are you suffering outside, we at home are also living in fear. We're really scared. In this end times, there really are all kinds of people!"
Aunt Zhang gritted her teeth and wanted to say something, but suddenly a voice came from behind: "Aunt Zhang, why is Kaikai alone? Where is Momo?"
The Zhang family should have another granddaughter.
Aunt Zhang's face turned pale. She gripped Kaikai's hand a little too hard and managed to squeeze out a few words: "Momo is a dishonest child. She was tired of being locked up in the base, so she ran away and got lost!"
