Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 169 Heavy Snow
Bai Li and her brother took Professor Leng and Kang Wentao back to Yunxi Village and did not continue to the greenhouse area.

Who knows if there are other ambushes on the road?
She was not so arrogant as to think that she was so strong that if she could handle one, she could handle the second one. In fact, if the gold-type person who stopped the car did not want the hostage to be safe, she might not be able to escape unscathed.

He didn't try his best.

As soon as he came back, he told Jiang Minglang, and with a gloomy face he took people to Zhoujiazhuang where Wei Lichuan was.

Wei Lichuan had just returned from Pingjiang Bridge. He was a little surprised to see Jiang Minglang. Why did he come to him? Che Tao hadn't left yet.

"Take me to see Che Tao."

Looking at Jiang Minglang's expression, Wei Lichuan felt something was wrong. As they walked, they asked, "What happened?"

"Just now, a gold-type wanted to take your sister-in-law away, saying that the commander invited her to visit Kyoto."

"what?"

Since he was here to settle accounts, he certainly wouldn't want to hide it. Not only that, Jiang Minglang also planned to let Wei Lichuan report the matter to his direct superior, the commander who had sent him to Beijing because of his injury.

This is equivalent to telling everyone: Now that someone wants to attack his wife, it is even more impossible for him to leave his wife and children and return to the army.

Wei Lichuan frowned and said, "I don't think this is something Che Tao would do."

As a third-generation military officer with connections above him, to be honest, Che Tao's character and personality are pretty good, and he has a heartfelt respect for his teacher. Wei Lichuan feels that he would not be wrong about this.

No matter what, he would not do anything to his sister-in-law.

"Captain Jiang."

Before Wei Lichuan could finish, Jiang Minglang raised his hand to interrupt him, "Whatever the people he brought with him did, it was equivalent to what he did. Old Wei, you have to know that Che Tao cannot escape responsibility no matter what."

Yes, if it was an order given by his father to the people around him, then no matter how innocent Che Tao was, he would be tainted.

The two walked to the small building where Che Tao and his group were housed, only to be told by the guard at the door that they had left.

"Leaved? When did you leave?"

According to Che Tao's plan, they should leave Pengcheng and return to Kyoto the day after tomorrow. He had breakfast with him this morning, and the other party promised that after returning to Kyoto, he would write a detailed report on the current situation and degree of danger in Pingcheng.

It's only been two hours since you said this, so you're leaving without even saying goodbye?
How could it be such a coincidence?

"Send a telegram."

Jiang Minglang seemed to have guessed this result long ago, and said to Wei Lichuan calmly, "Tell Leader Han that I have to take care of my wife and children, and I can't go anywhere."

Wei Lichuan nodded with a dark face, intending to report truthfully.

At the same time, at the highway intersection about to leave Pengcheng, Che Tao got out of the car with a dark face and walked towards the military green jeep waiting on the roadside.

He stared at the tall man in casual clothes standing in front of the car and asked coldly, "Meng Yanfeng, what the hell are you doing?"

He had agreed to leave Pengcheng the day after tomorrow, but suddenly someone notified him to leave now.

This guy was originally his father's guard. When he left Kyoto, his father temporarily sent him out to protect him.

He said he was protecting him, but in reality he didn't really listen to his orders. That's why when he went to Yunxi Village to find Captain Jiang the next day after arriving, he didn't bring him with him.

But Che Tao also knew that even if he didn't bring him, he would still know what he needed to know about Captain Jiang.

It was for this reason that he never went to Yunxi Village again and warned him not to act on his own without his orders.

"Captain Che, do you know who that Wood-type is?"

Che Tao was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Meng Yanfeng, "Who?"

"Jiang Minglang's wife, Bai Li!"

I have to say that this news was indeed beyond Che Tao's expectations.

But he immediately asked in confusion, "How do you know? What did you do?"

Meng Yanfeng looked at the road where their car came from. If his guess was correct, Jiang Minglang's men should be catching up soon.

He opened the car door and said to Che Tao, "Hurry up and leave, otherwise you may not be able to leave."

Che Tao's eyes widened, and he was immediately furious. He took a step forward, grabbed Meng Yanfeng by the collar, and slammed him against the car door, gritting his teeth and saying, "How dare you touch my sister-in-law? Meng Yanfeng, do you want to die?"

Even though he was being strangled and scolded, Meng Yanfeng remained calm and spoke indifferently. He even stopped calling Che Tao the company commander and said, "Second Young Master, don't forget who I belong to. It's not that I want to touch anyone. I'm just following orders."

Che Tao choked, an angry expression frozen on his face. The hand that was grabbing the other person's collar seemed so weak, and finally he slowly let go, turned around and got into the car without saying a word.

The walls on the east and north sides of Pengcheng have merged, and the toll booth at the highway intersection has also been knocked down. Construction workers and earth-type ability users have worked together to build a five-meter-high stone wall and a wide and thick iron gate.

Not to mention zombies and mutant animals, it normally takes the full strength of two strong men to open them.

When Che Tao and his group came over, they were really surprised to see the wall and stone gate.

To be honest, even Kyoto, which is now recognized by everyone as the safest base, does not have walls as high and solid as Pengcheng.

"Jiang Minglang wants to occupy the land and take control of Pengcheng completely?"

"Shut up!"

Che Tao turned his head and looked at Meng Yanfeng, his eyes sharp, "Are you deaf or didn't you hear what Wei Lichuan said? The wall was built by that guy named Li Nan, it has nothing to do with Captain Jiang. Meng Yanfeng, when you go back, I hope you will speak based on facts. You have to know that Pengcheng is close to Pingjiang Bridge and Pingcheng, and Pingcheng and the areas to the south are flooded with mutant animals and even unknown viruses, so being able to enclose this place with a wall is a good thing for the north of Pengcheng and even Kyoto. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Meng Yanfeng raised the corner of his mouth and replied nonchalantly.

Che Tao said angrily, "Don't think I can't do anything to you just because you are so good in front of my dad. If you really make me angry, believe it or not, I will ask my uncle to transfer you to Jiangcheng."

The smile on Meng Yanfeng's face froze. He knew that Che Tao's words were not just a threat. If he wanted to do so, he could really do it.

After all, in the Che family, his uncle, the leader who sits in the highest position, likes Che Tao the most among the younger generation.

Otherwise, the person who came to Pengcheng would be Che Tao’s elder brother, not him.

Meng Yanfeng put away the careless expression on his face and apologized sincerely, "Sorry, it's my fault. It won't happen again."

After a pause, he continued, "After returning to Kyoto, I will definitely write my report based on what the Second Young Master says."

Che Tao snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored him.

The car was close to the stone gate, probably because it was just installed today. The man named Li Nan was also here, and seemed to be watching the workers repairing the edge of the stone gate.

Seeing the jeep coming, Li Nan turned and walked to the side of the road.

The car window rolled down, Che Tao stuck his head out and said to Li Nan, "Boss Li, I heard from the guards that your greenhouse is almost finished, and there will be fresh vegetables to exchange later."

"Yes, although it has only been a short time since the beginning, but the fast-growing leafy vegetables like lettuce and spinach will be edible in half a month." Li Nan looked calm on the surface, but he was actually ecstatic inside. Old Wei was really good. He had promoted him quietly and even brought in a big business.

The two chatted for a few sentences, and Che Tao talked about the supplies they would have and how to exchange them, and then he would ask their logistics person in charge to come over to discuss it.

Then two military green jeeps drove out of Pengcheng one after the other and drove onto the highway to Kyoto.

Zhang Shaoda was also helping here today. He did know Che Tao, but their relationship was very casual, so when he saw him he just pretended not to see anything and just stood by the wall and concentrated on his own work.

However, about ten minutes later, Xi Yu, Ren Bin and Kang Erbao drove their car and stopped beside them.

"Dazi, have you seen the man named Che?"

Not only did Zhang Shaoda turn around, but even Li Nan put down his tools, walked over and asked in surprise, "It's only been less than ten minutes, what happened?"

When Xi Yu heard this, he pointed at Zhang Shaoda angrily and said, "Why the hell didn't you stop him?"

Ren Bin didn't dare to scold the old squad leader, and quickly explained, "They had a fight with my sister-in-law today, and they wanted to use her to threaten the captain."

Before he finished speaking, Xi Yu had already stepped on the accelerator and drove out with a bang.

Zhang Shaoda ran towards his car with a dark face. As soon as he got into the driver's seat, the back door was opened.

When I turned around, I saw that Li Nan had actually gotten into the car.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and chase after him."

Zhang Shaoda started the car and asked, "Why? Don't you want to do business with us?"

"What the hell is this? Is my sister-in-law someone they can touch? Damn it, no wonder they made such big promises to me. It turns out they just wanted to escape smoothly through here."

Zhang Shaoda agreed. Kyoto was so far away from here. What did they want to eat? They didn't have to come all the way here to buy it.

It was obvious that I was trying to cover their eyes and ears just now.

However, if the highway was cleared, ten minutes would be enough for the other party to run a long distance.

What's more, there was an earth-type person in their team. After they were out of Li Nan and his team's sight, he immediately set up obstacles on the road or dug a few big pits.

In short, Xi Yu and his companions had to stop the car before they had chased far.

Even though Zhang Shaoda came over and leveled the big hole, he still couldn't catch up, and finally had to go back in disappointment.

But it was Che Tao and the others' bad luck.

About three hours after they left Pengcheng, snow began to fall from the sky.

At first the snow was not heavy, and it fell to the ground like salt particles, and when cars passed by, the exhaust gas swept it and turned it into water.

But as time went on and the temperature dropped, the snow changed from salt particles at the beginning to large flakes. By about eight o'clock in the evening, the snow was falling heavily, and the windshield wipers were too big to scrape it away in time.

Finally, it completely covered the front windshield and froze into ice in a short while.

The two jeeps had to get off the highway and find a place nearby to avoid the heavy snow.

What they didn't expect was that the heavy snow lasted for a month.

After the snow stopped, the whole world turned into endless silver-white, which was incomparably beautiful, yet also made people feel desperate and at a loss.

It was the first time I encountered snow that was taller than an adult. It was simply a pipe dream to drive on the road.

At this time, Pengcheng was also covered with snow, but the situation in the greenhouse area of Li Nan in Xicheng and Yunxi Village was still acceptable, and the snow accumulation was not too serious.

Because when it first started snowing, they would organize people to sweep the snow every other day and pile it into a pile in a pit. It didn't matter if the snow didn't melt, they would let the fire elements roast them one by one with fireballs. Anyway, they had nothing to do, so they might as well treat it as an opportunity to exercise their supernatural powers.

Every household would find a way to sweep the snow off the roof every two or three days, and then pile it up and melt it.

There are also those who are too lazy to sweep the roof at the beginning because it is too cold. When it was hot before, it was around 40 or 50 degrees above zero, but now it is around 40 or 50 degrees below zero.

This is the first time that such low temperatures have occurred in Pengcheng.

It was so cold that people didn’t know where to put their hands and feet, and many people got frostbitten hands and faces when sweeping snow.

But fortunately, everyone had enough food, and they had collected a lot of firewood before. Even the coal from the coal mine in Pengcheng was distributed to everyone.

So even though it snowed heavily for a month, except for two elderly people in their eighties who were taken in by Li Nan and could not make it, the others walked out of their houses when the weather cleared up half a month later, facing the rising sun and smiling as if they had survived a disaster.

Therefore, after the heavy snow, the death toll in the greenhouse area was two, but none in Yunxi Village. Everyone successfully survived this sudden heavy snow disaster.

"The snow stopped at the perfect time. Today is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is New Year's Day."

The people who were clearing snow in the white fruit garden were stunned when they heard Bai Xiangtian's words.

We are so into this apocalypse that we have even forgotten about the New Year.

It was already February of the second year, and the doomsday had officially entered its tenth month.

Fortunately, it was too cold and snowy, so all the animals hid themselves and no one went crazy.

After all, natural disasters are also a disaster for them.

"Since it's New Year's Eve, let's make dumplings today."

Bai Li put the shovel aside, brushed off the snow that splashed on her body, and said to everyone, "I'll go to the warehouse to see how many leeks and radishes there are, add cabbage and vermicelli, and make three kinds of stuffing. And boil a pot of mutton soup, okay?"

That's great.

Everyone was in high spirits and worked harder to clear the snow.

Only Qiqi sighed a little in his heart, because the mutton that Bai Li was about to put in the pot to cook was from Yang Ba, who had escaped from the sheep pen some time ago and accidentally froze to death outside.

The sheep was usually aggressive and always jumping around, and Qiqi had taught it a lesson several times but it didn't change. But he didn't expect that it would push open the closed wooden door and run out in the heavy snow.

The sheep inside was afraid of the cold, so they pushed the door shut after it went out, causing the sheep to take a walk outside and not be able to come in. When it was finally found by Qiqi, it had collapsed at the door of the sheepfold, dying.

Since it was dead, it certainly couldn't be wasted, so Bai Xiangtian immediately skinned it and put it into the cold storage.

It would have been fine to leave it outside in this kind of weather, but that was in the past. Now, you never know where a mutant animal might pop out. What if it were to be carried away?
Sheep are originally raised for food, but for Qiqi, they all become his pets.

Bai Li was thinking, why not let him take care of the sheep and chickens at home and let her take care of them?

The last chapter was repeatedly closed and revised, which made me exhausted.

The more I write, the more careful I become, so I have revised this chapter, otherwise it still wouldn’t be published.
