My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 638 The Winter is Coming
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

On September 9, under the mediation efforts of a certain major country, the Europa Allied Forces and the Allied Forces headed by Justin finally reached a consensus on a ceasefire.

The two sides decided to cease fighting for a month.

On the one hand, both warring parties have suffered heavy losses, and they can no longer fight in the short term, so they can only temporarily truce.

On the other hand, both sides can use this precious time to carry out emergency rescue, and at the same time prepare for the next "winter".

In fact, for a nuclear war, since both sides have made sufficient preparations in advance, the casualties are not large, and the real loss is mainly a serious blow to the economy.

After this round of heavy bombing, the two sides lost at least [-]% of their industrial output value. Fortunately, the Europa coalition forces restrained themselves and did not attack the oil fields.

Otherwise, no matter who wins the war, they will not be able to survive this cold winter.

After all, volcanic ash plus nuclear radiation, either one can kill the old man, not to mention the two coming together, it is a deadly threat.

At around [-]:[-] in the evening, the air-raid alert over Sydney was finally lifted, marking the official end of the "underground" life. Both adults and children couldn't wait to move out of the air-raid shelter.

Back at the manor, looking at the happy boss and others, Xu Dong couldn't help pouring cold water on him:
"Don't be too happy too early. The possibility of us being bombed was very small, but now we are here. The real difficulties have just begun!"

"What's the problem?"

Xu Bin frowned and asked.

"There are two main difficulties. One is that the volcanic ash is coming soon. Look at the sky outside. Is it much darker than usual? Remember to get more sunshine later, maybe you won't be able to get it later."

"Uncle, you mean Extreme Night?"

Xu Jingyi said worriedly.

"That's right, it's the polar night." Xu Dong nodded, "Ten years ago in the Xianbeilia fire, the capital area lived without the sun for more than three months.

Last year, I went to Nisang for business, and encountered the polar night phenomenon again. At that time, the whole sky was dark, and there was no sunlight, and then there would be black snow. "

"Third, how long will the situation you mentioned last?"

Father Xu interrupted and asked.

The youngest son in the family has had this experience.

"It's hard to say, compared with Shishan Volcano and Sulfur Rock Volcano, the two are not at the same level at all, and no one knows what's going on there.

However, according to my estimation, this kind of extreme night situation may not end in a short period of time. It may be as short as one or two years, as long as five or six years, or even decades. "

"Decades? Didn't that person all die?"

Yang Lina said in fear.

"Probably not. Thanks to the great drought, our current food production has long been industrialized. As long as the energy supply is sufficient, we can still produce food even without the sun."

Xu Jingyi quickly echoed: "Uncle, do you think this is a blessing in disguise, how can you know it is not a blessing?"

"You are right in saying that. The past ten years have given us a buffer period. If the Sulfur Rock Volcano erupted ten years earlier, the loss would definitely be ten times more painful than it is now."

Xu Dong sighed incessantly.

In some respects, the super flare more than ten years ago was also positive for all mankind.

"What about the second difficulty?"

Xu Bin followed up and asked.

"The second difficulty is nuclear radiation. When the volcanic ash is completely covered, the temperature will drop sharply, and there is a high possibility of snowfall. These snowflakes must be rich in radioactive dust."

"Can the radiation come to us?"

Xu Bin expressed doubts. After all, the distance between the two places is tens of thousands of kilometers, and Nisang was also subjected to atomic bombs in history, and he has never heard of any adverse effects on the country.

"This time there were hundreds of nuclear bombs, not one or two, and it just happened to be volcanic ash spreading, so it must not be underestimated."

Xu Dong reminded.

"Then what should we do?"

Xu Bin suddenly panicked. The three grandchildren of their family are still children, and if they are affected, it will be a matter of a lifetime.

"Boss, when you come this time, don't go back for now. I have a greenhouse and a basement here. If the radiation exceeds the standard, you can go in and hide."

Xu Dong suggested.

Tan Aifang immediately persuaded her: "Dabin, the third child is right, let's live here for the time being, forget about it in normal times, now is not the time to be stubborn."

"What are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who can't tell good from bad?" Xu Bin said angrily.

"Okay, as long as you agree to stay, I'm going to help my mother cook. I don't have time to argue with you."

After Tan Aifang finished speaking, she gave the little tiger to her husband.

……

Half an hour later, Yang Lina took the initiative to find her husband. She just called Han Cheng's mother, and the two sides hadn't contacted for many days.

"Honey, I have something to do with you."

"What is it?"

"I just called my mom."

Xu Dong asked concerned: "How's it going in Hancheng? Is there anything wrong?"

"It's okay, they just got home."

"It's fine, it's going to be winter soon, and my mother-in-law is not young, do you want to pick her up to live with the old man?"

Xu Dong casually suggested.

No matter what, he had to give his wife face.

Yang Lina shook her head: "I mentioned it, but it's useless. My mother doesn't want to leave Hancheng at all. Besides, the planes are all grounded now, and the boat ride is too long. My mother may not be able to bear it, so don't bother. "

"Oh... I should have known earlier..."

Xu Dong sighed hypocritically.

"Don't blame yourself. It's one thing after another. It's too late when you think about it. Well, let's not talk about this. I have something to ask for your opinion."

"what do you wish to ask?"

"Our family's big villa in Hancheng is vacant. I want my brother and the others to move in. What do you think?"

Yang Lina cut to the chase.

If it was normal, Xu Dong would definitely not agree, but at this time and at that time, seeing a catastrophe approaching, it would be too unreasonable for him to object.

"No problem. There is a basement and a glass room in the big villa. It would be great for the mother-in-law and the others to live in, and it will save you from worrying all the time."

"Honey, do you agree?"

Yang Lina was overjoyed.

Xu Dong pretended to be angry and said, "What's your name, am I the kind of person with a small belly?"

"Okay, I was the one who said the wrong thing, you, Mr. Xu Dong, have a lot."

"Well, my mother-in-law has the key to the villa. Let them clean it up and move in quickly. The volcanic ash will probably reach Hancheng tomorrow."

"I'll give my mom a call later."

"In addition, I have stockpiled a lot of supplies in the basement of the villa. If you encounter difficulties, you can tell your brother-in-law back and let him take care of himself without saying hello to me."

As the so-called sending Buddha to the west, Xu Dong was simply generous. Anyway, his family would not need those materials anymore, and it would be a waste to keep them.

"Didn't you sell a batch of canned food before? My brother and the others probably won't need it for the time being."

"Don't be reluctant, let my brother-in-law try to use cans to exchange some coal for more coal. Collective heating is not safe, so we have to be prepared for everything."

"I understand."

"By the way, there is still water, so we need to stock up on more."

Xu Dong finally added.

Yang Lina nodded solemnly, and then asked in confusion: "I think you are right, why didn't our family stockpile coal and water?"

"Does it need to be said? Sydney is close to the sea and has a large coal field nearby. It is impossible for us to have such an extreme situation here."

Xu Dong said confidently.

This is called "time of day" is not as good as "favorable location".
