Rather than saying that winter is coming, it is better to say that winter has arrived. ↗,
His vision was filled with silvery white, and the entire swimming pool was buried in snow. The villa is covered with white snow, and penetrating ice cones hang from the eaves and windows, just like a castle standing in the north.
Solemn and proud.
However, Jiang Chen didn't have much time to appreciate the artistic conception of his villa. At this moment, he was only wearing a thin shirt.
When he entered the apocalypse for the first time, he shuddered involuntarily.
This weather is too damn cold.
Even with his physique that had been strengthened by genetic medicine, he still couldn't bear it.
Without saying a word, Jiang Chen crossed his arms and ran into the villa from the backyard, trembling. Last time, Tuconveniently started traveling directly by the swimming pool, but he didn't expect that he would suffer as soon as he came back this time.
Different from the cold outside, the inside of the villa is as warm as spring. The damaged walls and windows had been repaired by Sun Jiao a long time ago, and later underwent a series of professional repairs. As long as the windows were closed, there was no need to be bothered by the howling cold wind outside.
However, before he could stand still as he rushed into the villa, he was thrown onto the sofa by Sun Jiao, who also rushed towards him.
"You are finally back." The royal sister's voice was rather resentful.
"Well, a lot of things happened over there." Jiang Chen said apologetically.
In fact, this is not entirely true. He is simply enjoying himself a bit lazily.
Sun Jiao seemed to have noticed something, but she didn't say anything. She just stared into his eyes with her beautiful eyes.
Jiang Chen, who was a little embarrassed by the fiery gaze, looked away, only to find that Sun Jiao seemed to be holding something in her hand.
"Huh? What is this?"
"Ah, that, just, that's it." For some reason, Sun Jiao's face turned red, and there was a rare hint of panic in her voice.
"Rag?" Jiang Chen asked tentatively.
"It's a scarf! Idiot!" Miss Sun Jiao was instantly angry when she heard that her proud work was "slandered" as a rag.
Sun Jiao became angry and punched Jiang Chen hard on the chest, then took out the scarf without saying a word. In shame and anger, she forcefully put it around his neck.
"Ahem! You're going to strangle me!" Although the soft touch was constantly being squeezed on the chest due to the intense exercise, the feeling of restraint on the neck really offset this pleasure.
"Don't, don't move, just be patient and it will be fine!" Sun Jiao blushed. Said viciously.
"Wait, why do you have to endure wearing a scarf?"
"Long-winded!"
Are you being arrogant? !
After some tossing, the scarf finally hung crookedly around Jiang Chen's neck.
Sun Jiao blushed and got up from Jiang Chen, looking aside subtly.
"Actually, it's pretty good-looking. Please give it to me. Besides, that's not how the scarf is tied." Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and tugged on the scarf around his neck. The girl had obviously confused the rope with the scarf.
A pure black scarf without any lace. It is still a bit difficult for a novice to weave a flower. But to be able to knit the shape, I think she worked very hard.
Hearing Jiang Chen's compliment, Sun Jiao's eyes instantly lit up. As for the subsequent comment about the "tying method", she had selectively ignored it.
"Really! Haha, haha, let me tell you, how could this lady not even be able to knit a mere scarf?" She blushed. Scratching the back of her head, Sun Jiao's face was filled with pride.
"Speaking of which, why did you suddenly think of knitting a scarf?" Jiang Chen asked casually after tying the scarf again.
"Because," Sun Jiao's eyes wandered to one side again, her heroic and pretty face covered with a layer of red clouds, "Didn't it say in the magazine before the war? Girlfriends should knit scarves for boyfriends. So"
"It's not a hard and fast rule. It's better to say that girls who are willing to knit scarves for their boyfriends are called rare animals." Jiang Chen sighed and smiled.
But she is so thoughtful. Jiang Chen was quite moved in his heart.
"What, what do you mean by a rare animal!" Sun Jiao glared at Jiang Chen fiercely.
"It means cute." Jiang Chen quickly explained.
"Cute?!" Her expression softened instantly, and her bright eyes moved shyly from side to side.
At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly noticed Yao Yao standing on the stairs. I saw this little loli pouting her little mouth. Her cute big eyes were staring straight at the scarf around his neck.
"Wow! So cunning."
As if hearing the movement in the living room, Lin Ling walked in from the side door with a dissatisfied look on her head, shaking her snow-white hair.
He still doesn't hesitate to use his poisonous tongue.
"Tch, they're just two stupid demon lovers. Why do they have to show off their affection in the living room? Hurry up and close the door and do what you did last time." However, the words were stuck in his throat before he could finish speaking. Two cold gazes locked on her instantly, causing her to swallow back the second half of the sentence.
"Ahem, I think as the owner of the villa, it is necessary to do something." Jiang Chen said to himself.
"That's right, let's build her a small cabin outside." A devilish smile appeared on Sun Jiao's face. It was obvious that she also enjoyed the pleasure of bullying Lin Ling.
Still couldn't hold on till the end.
"Ugh, you are all bullying me." With tears hanging down her face, Lin Ling fled back to her laboratory and den with a depressed face.
This narcissistic and poisonous beautiful girl always intermittently forgets her own position.
Looking at Lin Ling's back, Jiang Chen raised a smile.
I don’t know if the task assigned to her has been completed. Let’s go and inspect it at some time.
There will be no such thing as a fireplace in the future, and no one will keep warm by lighting a fire at home unless they are poor survivors who cannot afford to cook. Jiang Chen's villa naturally didn't have that kind of thing. The reason why it was so warm was thanks to the heating network placed in the wall. That kind of thing is very convenient, you only need to turn on the electricity to heat it.
Of course, the heat-resistant electric heating wire will not be burned by emp, so this heating network has become one of the few electronic devices that can avoid damage in a nuclear explosion.
Standing in the study room on the top floor, Jiang Chen and Sun Jiao looked out the window side by side.
Goose-feather-like snowflakes rolled in the north wind, sweeping every corner of the earth. From time to time, snow shards hit the window, knocking out the hardened glass with a mournful and crisp sound.
Even if you are just watching, you can feel the coldness that penetrates into your soul.
"Such heavy snow." After a while, he looked at Jiang Chen outside the window. He just spat out these four words in a daze.
"It's not bad. In previous years, it starts to snow in October." Regarding the heavy snow, Sun Jiao's expression seemed normal, "It is said that in the years just after the war, the whole world was covered by nuclear winter. It’s such a cruel scene every day, I really don’t know how those people outside the shelter survive.”
Concrete apartment buildings can be seen outside the courtyard wall, where residents of the Fishbone Base live. The "not short of money" fish bone base will naturally not treat its people badly. Every household has electric heating. Life here is infinitely happier than in the slums.
In the open space, a snowplow truck converted from a civilian pickup truck was at work. Repeatedly push the snow on the ground outside of the base. The sentries standing on the wall move around from time to time, warning of dangers outside the base. The white cold-proof clothing looks like a snowman holding a rifle.
"If the snow is so heavy, the mutants probably won't be able to march here." Although it brought a lot of inconvenience to the production and life of the base, the heavy snow flying in the sky made him feel a little at ease.
"Speaking of mutants, Zhao Gang, who you sent to investigate, brought back a lot of interesting information."
"Oh?" Jiang Chen frowned.
"There are no less than 3,000 mutants active in Site 7. There are clear signs that they are preparing war materials."
Every mutant is a born warrior. If there are really more than 3,000 mutants, even if they only send 1,000 people, it will not be something that the Fishbone Base with a total population of more than 200 can resist.
No, don’t talk about fish bones. I'm afraid it won't be easy even if it's the Sixth District.
"I hope this heavy snow can bring them some trouble." Looking at the heavy snow falling outside the window, a trace of sadness flashed across Jiang Chen's brows.
"Mutants are famous for their resistance to cold, and heavy snow of this level cannot do anything to them. We can only pray that this heavy snow will kill more of their slaves, which will make their lives more difficult." Sun Jiao said with a somewhat solemn tone.
Slave? Speaking of which, how did the Rebel Alliance in Jia City survive the despotic power of mutants
Shaking his head, Jiang Chen temporarily put aside the confusion in his heart and asked in a deep voice, "Is that all?"
"Also, as Gu Zhaogang said, when he returned from No. 7, he met a group of refugees outside Shenxiang Town."
"Fugitives?" Jiang Chen asked, touching his chin thoughtfully.
"Yes. They originally belonged to the survivor group in Shenxiang Town. However, the survivor group there has been destroyed. Zhao Gang brought those refugees back, and I ordered people to temporarily house them in a temporary shelter outside the city." Jiao nodded, then took out the tablet and showed the map to Jiang Chen.
"Shenxiang Town is located between Qingpu and No. 7. It is adjacent to the Taipu River and is one of the passages for mutants to go to Wanghai City. The number of survivors is about 700. Because there are few mutant activities and no external threats, the organization The level is loose. There are only simple fortifications outside the town, and the organized militia is only 21 people."
"So they were enslaved by mutants?" heard this. Jiang Chen had roughly guessed their ending.
"That's right." Sun Jiao nodded and continued, "A team of 40 mutants was stationed in Shenxiang Town and established an outpost there. It can be seen that they are indeed planning to go to Shenxiang Town via Shenxiang Town. Wanghai City.”
That means they will go to Qingpu instead of Songjiang.
This is undoubtedly the worst outcome. In fact, deep down in his heart, Jiang Chen still vaguely hopes to avoid direct conflict with mutants. Even if they did reach Kalman Company and successfully obtained the improved version of the fev virus, they would only take it back to harm Jiashi.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.
"What about the more than seven hundred survivors?"
"According to what the refugees said, they were temporarily detained in Shenxiang Town due to heavy snow and road closures, and were not immediately transferred." After speaking, Sun Jiao looked at Jiang Chen.
Is the road closed due to heavy snow? A "lonely" mutant outpost.
Looking at the snowflakes outside the window, a smile suddenly appeared on Jiang Chen's face.
"This is an opportunity."
"you mean?"
"Eat them! Then consolidate the defense of Shenxiang Town, intercept the mutant expeditionary force there, and stop them outside Qingpu!" (.)
