Chapter 172: Warmth

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The difference between -70 degrees C and -50 degrees C was very obvious. Although the wind was still strong, everyone could clearly feel that the temperature was getting warmer.

“Ahhhhh, we’re saved! We’re finally saved!”

“Oh my god, I feel like the temperature is rising. I actually don’t feel so cold anymore. Is it just my imagination?”

“It’s not your imagination! The weather is really getting warmer! Heavens! Our nightmare is finally coming to an end!”

“As expected, the heavens still pity us. They know how we are suffering, so they finally warmed up!”

“Look, my friend sent this to me. He uses a special thermometer at home. The temperature is now -46 degrees Celsius!”

Everyone outside was cheering, only Ye Xingchen was frowning.

“Quick, where did you put those corpses? Throw these Molotov cocktails on those corpses and burn them all.”

The temperature had warmed up. They no longer had to endure the extreme cold. Everyone was naturally happy. After all, too many people had died in this cold. Basically, those who were older, poorer, or homeless were all killed by the cold weather of this season.

While everyone was cheering and celebrating, only Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia thought of a problem.

If the temperature rose, the bodies of the people who died from the extreme cold would definitely start to rot and stink after the warmth returned. After all, the reason why the bodies did not rot before was that the world was like a natural cold storage. The moment they died, their bodies were frozen by nature’s cold storage.

With so many corpses rotting and smelling, there would definitely be a lot of bacteria and viruses. If it was more serious, it might even cause a plague.

At this moment, Ye Xingchen was extremely glad that he had found such a good shelter before all these speculations happened. Otherwise, even his seven-story villa might still have come into contact with other people. Who knew what uncontrollable things could happen?

“When do you think the temperature will return to the temperature before the snow disaster?”

Ye Xingchen pursed his lips and didn’t answer Lin Sijia’s question because both of them knew very well that at the current speed, the temperature would return to 20 – 30 degrees in less than two to three days.

“It’s fine. Let’s eat first. We’ll take one step at a time.”

This was all Ye Xingchen’s guess. It would be best if it didn’t happen, but if it did, he had to prepare for it.

After eating, Ye Xingchen first counted the things stored in his space.

He had bought a lot of random things before, and later on, he bought a lot of supermarkets and warehouses for zero money. Although there were countless things, Ye Xingchen was still afraid. After all, what he might encounter next was something he had never encountered in his previous life.

At night, Ye Xingchen didn’t sleep well. In his half-awake state, he kicked away half of the blanket that was wrapped around him.

When he woke up, Ye Xingchen was actually sweating a little.

Just as Ye Xingchen was about to get up and wash up, he suddenly realized that the temperature in the room had reached 32 degrees.

Suddenly, Ye Xingchen woke up. He quickly put on his clothes and went to the central control room. He immediately turned on the air conditioner in the few houses where people lived.

Previously, he had only turned on the heater in his room. He did not expect the temperature outside to rise in just one night.

Quite a few people woke up from their sleep. It wasn’t just Zhao Hao and the others, but everyone else who was still alive.

“Oh my god, why is it so hot? When 1 woke up, I felt like 1 was fished out of the water.”

“Me too. It’s so hot. I thought I was dreaming. When 1 opened my eyes, I had to take off my clothes.”

“Is there flooding in your house? My house almost flooded when I woke up today. I was so scared. If I hadn’t woken up early, 1 would have drowned.” “Flooding? I live on the 16th floor, but it’s really hot today. Aiya, 1 can finally take off that heavy coat.”

Every household was very happy, especially those who had installed solar energy in their homes. When the sun was hot outside, the electricity in their homes was instantly filled.

At this moment, someone finally noticed that the snow outside the house had melted at some point. The three-story-high snow had melted, and countless corpses were buried under the snow. At this moment, the dirty water formed by the snow floated in all directions.

“F*ck, I was scared. I went downstairs to block the door just now. When I passed by the window, I suddenly saw a corpse.”

“Oh my god, you too? Me too. Oh my god, I was almost scared to death. It’s so scary. Fortunately, the doors and windows of our house are tightly shut.” “What should I do? The water outside is so high. I can’t go out at all. 1 don’t have much food at home. I’m starving.”

The water pipes had been frozen and cracked. Now that they were warm again, although the electricity had more or less been restored, they realized that they did not even have water to drink.

“I’m so thirsty. Do you have water at home? Can you lend me a little?”

“I don’t have water at home either. I used to catch snow. What, what should I do now? I can’t drink the accumulated water, right? Oh my god, it’s so dirty and disgusting. I can even see corpses floating on it.”

“Ugh, I would rather die than drink this water.”

Ye Xingchen scrolled through his phone. Although the signal receiver they installed in the safety fortress was not as good as the official base station, it was basically connected to the Internet. It was just that the signal could have been better.

“Yo, the officials are alive again.”

Ye Xingchen couldn’t describe his feelings towards the government. He didn’t hate them, but he didn’t blame them either. After all, he knew that no matter how powerful and capable the government was, it was impossible for them to save billions of people at the same time. It was just that he heard that they seemed to have developed cold-resistant potatoes, but before they could reap the first harvest, the weather changed again.

Ye Xingchen only saw the scene outside when he swiped his finger upward.

The murky water was surging in the city. Ye Xingchen seemed to be able to smell the stench even through the screen. In a few videos that he casually clicked on, Ye Xingchen saw countless corpses floating in the water.

Some of them were already swollen from soaking in the water, and their eyes were wide open as they floated on the surface of the water..
