Chapter 984 Huge Temperature Difference
The second uncle in the duty room was full of surprise when he heard Li Yu's voice on the intercom.
"It's recovered and should be ready for use." Li Yu said happily.
The second uncle stood up with the walkie-talkie, looked at the military radio station next to him, his heart moved, and he said to Li Yu:
"Then since the walkie-talkie can be used, does that mean we can contact the Oil City side!"
Li Yu also realized this problem and quickly said: "You will know after you try it. I will come over right away."
Putting the walkie-talkie on his waist, Li Yu rushed to the door, but when he got close to the door and saw the strong sunlight outside, he suddenly stopped.
He put on his helmet and radiation protection, then opened the door and walked out.
The second uncle was a little excited. In the past, the Oil City side basically communicated with the Da Zhangshu base three times a day, but since the magnetic storm came.
Two days, two whole days without any news.
Almost as soon as the second uncle sat down, he heard a voice coming from the military radio.
"Call the headquarters, Da Zhangshu Base. This is Zuo Ruxue in Oil City, requesting contact. Please answer when you receive it."
Zuo Ruxue said this many times in succession.
The corners of the second uncle's mouth rose, almost laughing.
Sure enough, the military radio station was also restored!
"I'm Li Hongda, Chief of Staff of Da Zhangshu Base. I've received it. What's the situation over there now?" The second uncle suppressed his excitement and said.
Oil City.
conference hall.
Zuo Ruxue was stunned for a few seconds after hearing her second uncle's voice.
Then he shouted to Ju Tianrui and Dongtai who were around him: "We are in contact. We are in contact with the headquarters. We are finally in contact. Come here quickly!!"
The devil knows how many times she has called in the past two days. She and her people have been calling continuously for 24 hours a day, but they have never been able to get in touch.
But just now, after saying what she said countless times in the past two days, she unexpectedly received a reply!
This had to make her excited.
Bang!
After Ju Tianrui heard Zuo Ruxue's shout, he immediately stood up. The stool under his butt fell to the ground due to the inertia of his standing up too quickly.
Dongtai and others gathered around.
Zuo Ruxue pressed the button and said:
"Finally contacted you about the situation on our side."
Seeing that Ju Tianrui was behind her, she continued: "I asked Ju Tianrui to report to you."
After saying that, she stood up and gave up her position to Ju Tianrui.
Before Ju Tianrui sat down, he hurriedly picked up the headset and said: "I am Ju Tianrui, and I will now report to you the current situation in Oil City.
According to the previous instructions of the city lord, we closed the city's power gates after the heavy rain. The power is still out. In addition, we found that the current solar radiation is extremely strong. You must be careful. Three team members here have injured their eyes due to the light, but now it has been It's no big deal.
Is everything okay over there at the headquarters? "
When the second uncle heard Ju Tianrui talking about Li Yu's instructions, he thought to himself: It turns out that Xiao Yu had made arrangements a long time ago, and it's a shame that he worried about it for so long.
He felt relieved and said: "There is basically no loss at the headquarters base. Don't worry. As for the power outage problem, we have made a magnetic screen before, which can have an effect."
At this moment, a voice came from the door.
"Perhaps there is no need for a magnetic screen. According to Dong Ying's detection, the magnetic storm has passed."
With that said, Li Yu walked to the electric box of the mobile knife, opened the electric box, and pressed the button.
Clang, clang, clang!
The mobile blade has been restored.
With a smile on his face, Li Yu picked up the walkie-talkie to contact his uncle and the others in the inner city.
"Uncle, after testing, it turns out that the magnetic storm has really passed now and will not affect our power system. Please turn on the main switch."
The uncle and others in the power distribution room in the inner city were very happy to hear the news about Li Yu.
clatter!
Ding ding ding ding——
All the lights in the base were lit at this moment.
Even the ventilation system and sprinkler devices in the greenhouse are turned on at the same time.
The entire base seemed to come alive.
Li Yu turned on the lights in the duty room and watched again.
With a smile on his face, he said to his second uncle: "Tell Ju Tianrui and the others that they can turn on the switch. The magnetic storm has passed."
Another piece of good news.
The second uncle told the news to Ju Tianrui and others in Oil City with a smile on his face.
Li Yu took the headset from his second uncle's hand and said to Ju Tianrui:
"By the way, there is something else you need to do now. The sun is radiating fiercely right now, and water vapor is evaporating very quickly. It has just started raining, so stock up on more water. I'm afraid the water source will become a problem later."
After Ju Tianrui heard Li Yu's words, his heart was shocked and he thought to himself: The city lord had indeed thought carefully.
After contacting the Da Zhangshu Base, Ju Tianrui asked a lot about what needed to be done next, and Li Yu also gave orders one by one.
Restoring communication with the headquarters base makes it much easier for everyone in the oil city far away from the headquarters.
The haze caused by the magnetic storm was also dispelled at this moment.
But the hot sunshine outside still caused them a lot of trouble.
Time passes.
It was evening in a blink of an eye.
Chen Delong came out from the foot of Wuyi Mountain with a serious expression.
Their car had been surrounded by a wave of zombies before, and after more than a month of heavy rain, it was nowhere to be found now.
They could only walk back to base.
"Brother Chen, I saw the road signs two hours ago. We should have arrived in Shixian County. It is estimated that we will have to walk for a day to reach the base. Isn't this speed too slow?" Legs was breathing heavily.
After they came down from Wuyi Mountain, they walked non-stop for five or six hours in order to catch up with the time.
Chen Delong looked at the three people behind him who were all a little tired. He raised his head and saw a small village in the distance.
So he said: "Let's rest in front, our time will be faster if we take the shortcut."
After saying that, he licked his white and chapped lips, unscrewed the water bottle in his hand, and took a sip of water.
"Walk."
Legs held a stick in his hand and pushed himself forward.
soon.
They arrived at this small village with only a dozen dilapidated buildings.
There is no trace of fireworks in the small village, only ruins.
Most of these buildings are made of adobe bricks and green tiles. After three years of wind and rain, most of the buildings collapsed.
But among them, there are a few houses made of red brick and concrete. Although they are damaged, they will not become ruins.
They walked to the intersection and looked at the surrounding mountains and forests.
Although it was evening, the brightness was almost the same as at noon.
They dare not look directly at the sun, and even if they want to look at it, they have to use a piece of cloth to block their eyes, so as to avoid the damage of solar radiation.
Chen Delong looked at the few remaining buildings, pointed to the house on the far right and said, "Let's go over there."
After saying that, he walked over there carrying the package.
The house had no gate and the yard wall collapsed.
They walked into the house and saw that the ground was full of mud. The house should have been flooded and the sediment from the flood was deposited here.
Although the windows are broken, there are still four walls.
After checking the whole house, my legs pulled at the cloth covering my entire head and unbuttoned the collar.
His face was covered in sweat and he was panting.
"This day is so boring. The sunlight is so strong during the day and there are zombies at night. Brother Chen, what should we do at night? This place doesn't feel very safe." Legs said.
Chen Delong looked around and said:
"We are taking a mountain road, not a main road. Even if there are zombies in the surrounding wilderness, there shouldn't be too many. If we don't stay here, there is no suitable place to go. Let's stay here. We'll see you later. Let’s decorate here.”
Everyone was helpless and knew this was the best choice.
They cooked the remaining half of the food while there was still sunlight and saved the other half for tomorrow morning.
If they haven't arrived at the Da Zhangshu Base after eating all this, they will be completely out of food and probably won't be able to hold on for much longer.
The sun sets in the west and sets.
Darkness returned to the world.
Chen Delong and the others huddled in a small room on the second floor.
In the afternoon, they cut down a few trees to block the location of the outer gate. Then there were some chopped wood to block the steps on the second floor, and a bell was hung on the steps on the second floor with a rope.
If zombies are approaching, they can detect them in advance.
They were too tired today to take turns on duty.
Night falls.
As time passes, the temperature drops rapidly.
They huddled in the corner of the room and shivered.
"Zhuo Jun, you squeeze inside. It's windy here and it's too cold. I'm going to lean over to your side." An Sheng said shivering while wrapped in clothes.
Zhuo Jun didn't say anything, just squeezed inside.
His legs were frozen and his hands were shaking, and he complained: "Damn, why is it so hot during the day and so cold at night? The temperature difference must be at least twenty degrees."
"Huh - how about we make a fire." An Sheng said.
"Make a fire, and hang your blanket on the window. Otherwise, when the sun comes out tomorrow, we will definitely be exposed." Chen Delong said.
Then he said: "I'll give you mine too, seal it tightly."
He had no choice but to get up and pin his only blanket to the drafty window.
I couldn't stop cursing in my heart: The people who came here before were so clean!
The surrounding buildings have been searched, and there is basically nothing useful, not even a single bed sheet.
The fire was raised, and they gathered around the flames so they didn't feel so cold.
The night passed.
They were lucky that there were no zombies around, so they were not attacked by zombies at night.
the next day.
Cooked all the last remaining grain.
The four of us were barely three-quarters full.
But this was also the biggest meal they had eaten in more than a month.
After eating and resting, my body feels more energetic.
They packed their luggage and wrapped their bodies, even their hands were wrapped in a layer of cloth.
His legs pulled off the blanket between him and Chen Delong, and then draped it over their heads, looking a bit like an Arab style.
"Let's go!" Chen Delong said to the brothers behind him with firm eyes.
Northern Alliance.
Sima Xi lay on the bed and took a mirror to look at his face carefully.
The whole face looked like it had been severely burned, with the skin peeling off and the wrinkled face looking extremely ugly.
In addition to his face, there was also extensive skin loss on his arms, calves, and arms.
It looks extremely penetrating.
Sima Xi trembled, looking at himself in the mirror that was unfamiliar and disgusting to him.
I can't hold it in any longer.
He took the mirror and threw it to the ground.
Bang!
The mirror was smashed to the ground.
"Ah!!! My face." Sima Xi roared crazily.
His eyes were full of anger and despair.
The butler standing next to him lowered his head, not daring to look like the second young master at all.
Originally he wanted to talk about the expedition team, but now he didn't dare to mention a word.
Today, the Northern Alliance is in chaos, and the power system has collapsed. The power experts in the base said it was because of the magnetic storm. Electronic equipment is now affected and cannot be used at all, and some equipment was destroyed in the magnetic storm.
"What the hell is this?" the housekeeper thought to himself.
Just then, the door opened.
A tall and handsome man came in. He looked at Sima Xi lying on the bed and saw the broken mirror on the ground.
I roughly understand the situation.
Si Lin spoke after a few seconds:
"Xiao Xi, appearance is not important to us men. You can relax and take good care of your injuries. This is the ointment I brought you to treat sunburn."
After saying that, he pointed to a subordinate next to him, who carefully placed the ointment on the table next to Sima Xi's bed.
Sima Xi did not look at his elder brother, but asked coldly:
"What are you here for?"
Sima Dong sighed and said earnestly:
"Xiao Xi, my father's health is dying now. If we don't unite, our Sima family will not be able to stop Yuan Zhi and the others from suppressing him. They are getting stronger and stronger now.
You have inherited part of your father's power. If we join forces, we can only barely protect ourselves.
If you are still so willful, sooner or later we will be eaten without any bones left.
do you understand? "
Sima Xi sneered and said to Sima Dong: "I'm afraid you want your father to die the most."
"How could you say such rebellious words? How presumptuous!" Sima Dong was furious and raised his hand to give him a slap.
But in the end I endured it.
He waved his sleeves and turned away.
After seeing them leave, Sima Xi turned his head and saw the ointment on the table.
Kicked the table.
The table fell to the floor along with the ointment.
"Second Young Master, you"
"Get out, get out of here." Sima Xi said angrily to the housekeeper and several of his subordinates.
The ferocious face looked even more terrifying because of its disfigurement.
Everyone felt cold, fearing that continuing to speak would cause the second young master to become even more dissatisfied.
The housekeeper sighed and had no choice but to walk out.
After walking out, the housekeeper returned to his room filled with sadness.
Now the second young master's condition is getting worse and worse, if not...
well.
Should I defect to the eldest young master, or should I defect to that Yuan Zhi?
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
Then a note was thrown in.
The housekeeper quickly opened the door, but saw no one.
Picking up the note on the ground, there were a few words written on it:
The eldest young master wants to see you at twelve o'clock tonight.
The housekeeper felt nervous and looked left and right at the door but didn't see anyone.
This house belongs to the second young master. Is it possible that the second young master also has people from the eldest young master?
The housekeeper looked at the words on the note and felt a little moved.
(Please give me a monthly ticket. I feel a little unwell today, so I’ll just give you one chapter today. There will be an update of 15,000 more tomorrow.)
