Industrial survey, it turned out that the sweater was worn inside out?

Chapter 251 Adventures in the Snow Country (Second update!)

Listening to her husband's words, Jiya had no idea to continue, because her husband had been suffering from mental problems for a long time after he retired from the army. It took a long time to get better!
It wasn't until I had my daughter that these mental illnesses basically dissipated, but they still occur occasionally. When they occur, it's as if they don't even recognize their relatives!
After sitting for a while, Jiya hugged her daughter and fell asleep.

Sean sat next to him, silently loading bullets into the rifle. After a while, the bullets were loaded!

He stopped loading bullets, walked to the window, opened the curtains a crack, and then looked out the window!
At first glance, he saw the dead city!

As a famous city in the Great Lakes region, it has always been synonymous with developed areas, but this time, the originally noisy city had no light, only the pale moonlight, reflecting the falling snow... graupel!

Sean frowned even more when he saw clearly what was left behind!
June is when the water vapor in the Great Lakes region is the most abundant. The temperature drops sharply, and the moisture in the air is quickly condensed by the cold air and turns into tiny graupel particles!

These graupel fell to the ground and slowly accumulated into a thick layer of ice!
The original road has been paved with a thick layer, and most of the cars parked on the roadside have been submerged!
And from the time the cold air appeared to now!

It’s only a dozen hours!

In other words, in more than ten hours, the entire Minneapolis has been buried under one meter of ice!

Seeing this, Sean tiptoed towards the kitchen, opened the kitchen cabinets, and checked the food inside one by one!

Unfortunately!
Because I don’t often cook at home!

All he found was something in a refrigerator that had lost power!
After just one glance, his brows furrowed even more!
The most abundant items in the refrigerator are my daughter’s various snacks, the second most abundant are beers, and the third most abundant are various fruit drinks!
At the bottom of the refrigerator, there was a foot-long piece of bread, a piece of butter, and some vegetables!
According to normal consumption, it can last up to three days!
Under extremely low temperature conditions, if you want to survive, you must maintain adequate energy intake. As a former Navy SEAL, he can consume low amounts of energy, but his wife and daughter next to him cannot!
Especially for daughters, when they are growing tall, if their energy intake is too little, they will basically not be able to survive!
But the snow is so thick outside that it will never melt within three days unless other means are available!

But if it melts quickly, the flood that will follow will be a bigger challenge. After the flood, the bodies of those animals that were frozen to death will be the third challenge!

I have to find something tomorrow!
At this moment, a pair of hands touched Sean's shoulders, then slowly moved up from his neck to his temples, and then started to massage gently!
It’s my wife Jiya!
Then a gentle voice sounded: "Do we need to prepare food?"

"need!"

"Then let's go together!"

"But the weather outside is too dangerous for you!"

"If you die outside, my daughter and I will be worse off than dead! It's better to be together!"

Sean closed his eyes and slowly enjoyed his wife's massage. After a long time, he breathed out: "Okay!"

After a silent night, the next day, after breakfast and the remaining food, Sean ambitiously took his wife and daughter and prepared to go out in search of food!
However, before they could go out, they encountered a serious problem!

They can't get out!

The fine raindrops fell all night, and led by the cold wind, sealed their door tightly. When they opened the door, there was only an ice wall higher than the door!
As a last resort, Sean removed the roof and got out of the room!
The first time he raised his head, he was frightened out of his wits! There was a vast expanse of white in front of him. From his position, he couldn't see the street, only the chimneys of those houses!

Years of military experience quickly allowed him to calculate the current thickness of the ice!

The attic height of my own house is 7.5 meters, and that of my next-door neighbor is about 8.9 meters. There is one floor left over there, and there is only an attic roof left here. In other words, the current thickness of the ice layer is at least 7 meters!
At this moment, the wife ran over with the radio in great excitement, stood under the hole, jumped her feet, and said cheerfully: "Listen! It's a rescue operation!"

At the same time, Sheffield's loud voice came from the radio!

"Starting yesterday morning, a super cold wave moved rapidly southward from the north. After one night, the front of the cold wave has arrived in Texarkana!"

"But that doesn't mean this cold wave is over, it's just the beginning!"

"Stronger cold air has gathered in the north and is getting ready!"

"So at this time, I implore you again!"

"My soldiers! Stretch out your hands and rescue others just like you rescue your teammates on the battlefield!"

With a snap, Sean turned off the radio. It was the only device that could receive signals in the vast snowfield!
Must be used with care!
Turning his eyes to the north, he sighed and went back to the house!

Gotta change plans!

After climbing back into the house through the breach, Sean dove into the basement and used the tools in the basement to start making a makeshift sled!
After all the parts were prepared, he got out of the house again and assembled the sled next to the hole!

He jumped on it and gave it a try. After confirming that he could bear it enough, he called his wife and daughter out!

At the same time, load the remaining food, some wood, and weapons onto the sled!
"We have to go! When a stronger cold wave hits, the temperature in the Great Lakes region will drop. At that time, these houses will not be able to protect us at all!"

"We must go to the south, or find a place with enough food and energy!"

After saying that, Sean put his wife and daughter on the sled, put the rope of the sled over his shoulders, and pulled it out little by little!

Fortunately, the ice was thick enough and sloped southward. After climbing up the slope, the family got into the howling wind without much effort!
Due to the diffuse white fog and the fact that the road signs were submerged in the wind and snow, Sean had to stop and recalibrate his direction after walking for a while!
Unlike the two adults who were worried, Alyssa seemed very happy!
This is all snow!

As he walked, Sean slowly pulled down the brake lever, slowing down the sled!

In the white snow mist ahead, there is a figure!
As he was walking hard, Sean wanted to miss this person and get out of the way, but looking at his daughter's curious eyes, he still controlled the sled and moved closer!
When the person in front heard the movement, without any hesitation, he crouched down, turned around, lifted up his clothes, drew his gun, and fired in one go!
boom!
The bullets passed through the sled, and Sean also drew his gun and fired back!
