Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Chapter 182 Chapter 182
The two lambs were finally slaughtered. Now the temperature is too high, and they need to be fed with water and grass. After the extreme day, it is estimated that there is no way to take care of them. Ye Fu made several steamed mutton with steamed rice flour and gave some to Qi Yuan and the others. .

Everyone in the safe zone is ready to deal with the extreme day. The night is getting shorter day by day. After half a month, the night will disappear completely and the extreme day will arrive.

After the beginning of the polar day, the sun seemed to get bigger, there were no clouds in the sky, the white sunlight formed circles of halos, and the wind seemed to have disappeared. Ye Fu took out his pocket watch and watched the seconds tick by If it wasn't for the fact that time was still running, she would still be able to move freely. She thought the whole world had been paused.

Ye Fu was wearing heat-insulating clothing, and after coming out of the cellar, she took the wooden house into the space. She didn't dare to delay, and quickly ran back to the cellar, and tightly closed the heat-shielding panel at the cellar exit.

"Oh my god, it's so hot, what temperature do you think it's outside?"

Jiang Rong helped her take off the heavy insulated clothing, and wiped off the hot sweat on her face and neck with a wet towel.

"56 degrees Celsius?"

"57°C, I feel like the temperature measuring instrument is about to burst. I went out to collect the wooden house just now, and I found that the grass and trees on it seemed to be all dead."

Why do plants die overnight?Ye Fu suspected that all the water under the surface evaporated, and the heat of the magma penetrated the crust, burning the plants on the surface to death.

Of course, this was all her wild guess. It could also be that the plants were exposed to direct sunlight. The plants couldn't stand such strong light, and the water in the plants evaporated, and they died naturally.

"I'll get some ice."

Ye Fu took out some saltpeter, put some water in a bucket, added saltpeter to the water, it will crystallize soon, and slowly turn into ice cubes.

The cellar is very cool, and it is even more refreshing to put a basin of ice in it.

Ye Fu connected the battery to the lamp, and the cellar became brighter. She put a bookshelf next to the bed. Usually, Jiang Rong sat on a chair and Ye Fu lay on the bed. They were reading a book each.

There is a round clock hanging on the wall, and the calendars are placed on the bookshelves. Ye Fu will draw a cross on the calendar every day, but the time living in the cellar passes very slowly. There is no night, and sometimes she I even forgot which day it was, the outside world was quiet, there was no wind, not even the movement of small animals.

Ye Fu would open the heat shield every day to take a look outside, the sun was still shining brightly in the sky, and the sunlight shone on his skin, making him uncomfortable as if being pricked by a needle.

Ye Fu took out the wool and crocheted more than a dozen sweaters to pass the time, but the day and night passed extremely slowly. He thought it had been two or three months, but when he looked at the calendar, it was less than a month.

Fortunately, there was Jiang Rong by his side, if she was alone, Ye Fu felt that she might suffer from autism or depression.

When she lived in Building Ten, she liked talking to herself very much. In order to prevent dementia, she had to turn the Rubik's Cube every day to train her brain, but now she doesn't need it anymore. Someone is with her, even if the two of them don't talk, each Reading a book or watching TV will make you feel more secure.

After entering the cellar, Ye Fu's cracked skin slowly healed. She took out a humidifier. Although there was a bucket of ice, the top of the cellar was still a little dry. Always keep the room moist so that her throat would not be dry and hoarse , the body will be more comfortable.

"What day is it?" Ye Fu woke up from a nap, looked at Jiang Rong and asked.

"Thirty-third day."

Ye Fu sighed, turned over and continued to sleep, but she couldn't feel sleepy, she closed her eyes and brewed for half an hour, so she could only give up.

"Is there any movement outside?"

"No, I checked, but there is still no wind."

Three years ago, when they were parting from the Suiyun Mountain Earthquake, Ye Fu once gave Qi Yuan and the others a whistle, and it was the same this time, if something happened, use three short whistles and one long whistle to convey the signal.

Ye Fu picked up a "Guide to Growing Vegetables" and read it for more than ten seconds, but couldn't understand a single word. These days made her feel flustered and irritable.

"Playing chess?" Seeing her irritated face, Jiang Rong came to the bedside with backgammon.

Ye Fu stared at him for a few seconds, "I don't want to play, it's annoying."

"Calm down, don't think about what's going on outside, and don't think about when the polar day will end, just treat it as before."

He can comfort people now, Ye Fu twitched the corners of his mouth, but no matter how hard he tried, she was still annoyed and still couldn't calm down.

Doumiao and Luoluo were lying on the straw mat, and the two little guys were also a little unhappy.

"Jiang Rong, how long do you think it will be over?"

Jiang Rong reached out and picked her up from the bed, "I guess, about a year."

Ye Fu nodded, "Okay, then I will start the countdown, two years is twenty-four months, now one month has passed, and there are still twenty-three months left, I will definitely be able to survive these twenty-three months of."

Ye Fu sat up straight and played a game of backgammon with him.

"I lost?"

Ye Fu couldn't believe it, she had never lost in backgammon before, but she didn't expect to lose this year.

"You were absent-minded today, so you lost."

"Aren't you worried? Jiang Rong, you don't look scared at all."

Jiang Rong smiled, "Don't be afraid, you are here anyway."

Ye Fu was speechless, "I can't even protect myself, don't you still want me to protect you, just be a human being, big brother."

Jiang Rong just smiled and said nothing, Ye Fu lost again in the second set.

"I'm unlucky today, so I won't play anymore."

Ye Fu pretended to be lying, and directly fell on the bed and pretended to be dead. She had never been like this before, as if she couldn't get up to do anything.

Ye Fu lay down for a few minutes, got up again to get something to eat, and continued to lie down to sleep when he was full.

It wasn't until the second month that Ye Fu got used to life in the cellar, and his emotions gradually stabilized.

Ye Fu put a yoga mat on the ground, and after not exercising for a long time, Ye Fu decided that his bones had hardened, and when he pressed his leg, it hurt so much.

Looking at the vest line that he vaguely wanted to practice again, Ye Fu finally found the best way to pass the time.

In addition, Jiang Rong made her a wooden sign, using the dagger as a dart, and asked her to practice her hit rate and speed.

Except for sleeping, every minute is fully scheduled, and Ye Fu has no thoughts of panic and cranky thoughts. After practicing for more than a month, the long-lost vest line has returned. Ye Fu weighed himself, forty-eight kilograms, not too light Heavy, just right.

After more than two months of extreme daylight, Ye Fu still did not hear any other movement outside. She opened the heat shield again to check the situation outside, and found that the trees in the distance began to turn black, as if they had been burned by a raging fire.

Cracks began to appear on the surface, the wind and sand had hardened, and the sun's halo turned orange-red.
