#211 - Chapter 211 Spring and Revival
February 15th.
The temperature today has risen back to around -10 degrees Celsius.
At this temperature, those starving survivors can no longer be prevented from venturing out in search of food!
God knows how many survivors have frozen or starved to death outside in the past month!
District 1.
"It's finally warming up, Old Liang, Old Li, let's get ready quickly, it's time to go out and find food and supplies!"
Li Shenglin opened the door and walked outside, feeling the bearable cold, and said excitedly to the other team members.
They had been trapped in the residential area for more than a month, relying on the food from previous transactions and loans from Green Source, and had survived until now without any accidents.
But they had never been full, and they were just maintaining a state of not being too hungry every day.
In the past few days, they had noticed that the weather was getting warmer and warmer, and today when they pushed the door open, they could clearly feel that the temperature had risen again.
Being able to stay outdoors for a long time means they can go out to work!
Hearing Li Shenglin's words, the other team members were also happy. Anyone who is locked at home for more than a month will become bored and silly. Now everyone can't wait to go out and vent.
"Everyone, first find some wooden boards or something that can be used for skiing. The snow outside is still too high. Let's see if we can find anything useful around the residential area first!"
The team quickly took action.
In fact, it's not just them. All the survivors who have been blocked indoors by the cold for more than a month are walking out of their homes and starting to go outside to find everything useful!
Everyone misses the outdoors from before too much!
They would rather face small groups of zombies than stay in the room, waiting anxiously to starve to death.
A small city in the north.
After experiencing a cold winter, the survivors here also couldn't help but start to step out of their homes.
The temperature here is about 20 degrees Celsius lower than in the south, and the temperature is still -30 degrees Celsius!
But it still can't stop the "enthusiasm" of the survivors to go out.
As long as you are careful, don't stay out for too long, and keep warm, humans can still stay at this temperature for a certain amount of time!
The survivors never thought that hunger could be so terrifying!
In this month, they finally completely experienced the mood of their ancestors during the famine.
That was a feeling of helpless despair!
While the zombies outside are still frozen and unable to move normally, it is king to quickly search some places where there is still food!
*****
Evening.
Dragon Gate County.
In a remote building.
Inside a large space on the second floor, a bonfire is burning in the center. A large pot is placed on the fire, and the upper edge of the pot without a lid is overflowing with some black and gray foam due to the boiling soup inside.
A strange and alluring aroma of meat is permeating the entire space.
"Sherry, help me get a bowl of meat soup."
On the sofa next to him, a man with a hideous scar on his face commanded the woman in his arms.
The woman was also very well-behaved and skilled. She walked with cat-like steps, walked to the pot, stuck out her buttocks, and began to stir the meat soup in the pot with an iron wrist she didn't know where she found.
It made the eyes of the other men next to her stare straight and swallow their saliva.
She chose a bone with meat, a few pieces of fat and lean meat, and poured some soup on it before carefully carrying it back to the man.
"Brother Long, please enjoy."
The scarred man unceremoniously took the iron bowl filled with meat soup, picked up the spoon on it, and began to taste the delicious meat soup.
The other men and the only woman in the room were also not polite and began to fetch food themselves.
The sound of chewing and drinking soup soon filled the entire room.
"Yellow Teeth, next time, cut the leg bones into bigger pieces and leave some meat on them, so it's more enjoyable to eat! The other boneless ones can be chopped smaller."
Brother Long gave suggestions to his companion in charge of the kitchen while eating meat.
A young man with a mouthful of yellow teeth nodded in agreement. He was also drinking meat soup, making a puffing sound.
"Boss, the temperature outside is starting to rise. When it gets warmer, are we still going to that Green Source base?"
A man with a dirty and encrusted body had just finished a bowl and asked the scarred Brother Long.
Brother Long grabbed an unknown bone with his right hand, tore off a large piece of meat, chewed it a few times, and then replied vaguely:
"Go! Why wouldn't we go!? But don't go so early. We have enough 'food'. We can slowly go over after the snow melts after a while."
"You don't have to hold back for too long. When the survivors outside start to move, you can naturally catch some new ones back for the brothers to enjoy!"
Brother Long finished gnawing on a meaty bone, threw it casually into a pile of bones behind the sofa, took a sip of hot soup to wash it down, and then burped comfortably.
He naturally knew what these companions under his command were thinking after they were full.
But the woman in his arms cannot be handed over.
Wouldn't handing her over be equivalent to sprouts growing on his head?
And this is also an emergency reserve ration.
"Brother Long, it's already the middle of February. After we finish eating the meat pigs, should we go out and catch some more?"
The yellow-toothed youth had also just finished eating. He wiped the corner of his mouth with his blackened sleeve, shook the watch on his left hand, looked at the time and date on it, and asked the nominal boss of this small team.
Brother Long threw the bowl away, leaned slightly, leaned on the woman who was already prepared, rubbed his belly, enjoyed the woman giving him a head massage, and slowly responded to his younger brother.
"Of course! Go tomorrow. It would be best if we can encounter meat pigs! Otherwise, what will we eat!? I will personally take everyone out tomorrow after dawn!"
After speaking, he shrank into the woman's arms, squinted his eyes, and began to feign sleep and rest.
The other men were all looking at this scene with green eyes, but they didn't dare to do anything real, because this Brother Long was not only the nominal boss, but also the boss in terms of strength!
Brother Long used to fight in underground black boxing matches. Several strong men could not easily get close to him!
When he was resting, his right hand pressed against the bulge at his waist, where a pistol was hidden!
Otherwise, why could Brother Long suppress this large group of men!
The room became quiet again, with only the crackling of firewood burning.
And an empty pot that had been eaten clean above it.
*****
In the following days.
Here in the south, the temperature in Guangyuan City is getting higher day by day.
February 17th, the temperature rose back to -5 degrees Celsius.
February 19th, the temperature rose back to -2 degrees Celsius.
On this day, some trees that were covered by heavy snow but still higher than the white snow began to sprout new buds!
Adding a new color of life to the endless white world.
Not only humans, but countless animals and plants that had been dormant in this winter began to awaken from their sleep.
The time came to February 20th.
This day.
The thermometer placed outside the Green Source base to measure the temperature finally returned above the red line!
The temperature returned above zero!
