Apocalypse Summoner - 782. The seven hundred and fifty-seventh chapter is snowy and winter

Dark clouds pressed against the city, cold winds were blowing, and yellow smoke and thick mists were raised, and there was a faint scent of frost and snow in the air… “Huh”

Snowflakes in the shape of hexagonal diamonds were falling one after another, misty clouds and mist enveloped the entire Yongcheng, misty and desolate.

Yongcheng is located in the extreme south of the celestial dynasty. It has always been hot and humid. Even in winter, it rarely snows. Even if it really snows, it is only a very small, very fine snow. Has there ever been a heavy snow like today?

The ground has already been piled up with snow as deep as knees. The whole world is white, like a sea of frost and snow, and the snow is shining on the world, covered in silver. Today’s Yongcheng is like a castle in an ice and snow empire. .

“Pharaoh, you wear too few clothes. See how you are frozen.”

“Hey, I also know it’s cold… but I have already put on all the clothes that can be worn… Actually, it’s okay. If I do more work, my body will naturally warm up, hehe.”

The middle-aged man named Lao Wang smiled honestly, his mouth full of white teeth was exposed, white smoke was still emitting while he was talking, the hair was covered with hoarfrost, and his rough cheeks had long been frozen out of fine lines. crack.

He wore seven or eight thick clothes on him, wrapping himself up like a big fat man, but these clothes were all dirty and shabby. At first glance, there was no warmth, so he wore so many clothes. Still know how to tremble all over.

“This weather… It’s terribly cold, or it has to be minus 30 or 40 degrees? Grandma’s… This kind of temperature is not unusual in the north, but the air in the south is humid, and it is like ice when it gets cold. Water, I was hiding in the bed last night and was awake from the cold in the middle of the night…”

Another strong middle-aged man was holding his arms, his teeth were trembling, he wore an old thick military scarf around his neck, and a peaked cap on his head… It’s funny to wear a peaked cap on such a cold day, in fact, He also wanted to wear a warm hat, but there was a shortage of supplies in Yongcheng, and many warm clothes were not enough.

“Tsk, the weather is getting more and more abnormal… Not to mention that I haven’t seen the sun for several months, and now his grandma’s is actually snowing… What can we do? Should we continue to work? Xuexia Is it really possible to continue to build the city wall if it is so big?”

“Hey, where can we get steamed buns if we don’t work? My whole family is counting on my job…”

“Yes, the people in the army are not so kind. They don’t want to raise waste wood for nothing…If you want to eat and dress well, you have to work for them…”

A large group of men gathered around, letting the wind and snow hit their faces, one after another, falling on the face, the crystal water droplets of Huacheng slid across the neck, it was so cold that it was breathless.

Now it is the season of cold winter.

In places like Tiannan Province, the past December was only late autumn. People usually only wear autumn clothes. Some stronger children even only wear short sleeves, but this year is different… because this year is the world. In the first year of the doomsday, the earth’s magnetic field, climate, ecology, and crust have long been chaotic, so it’s not uncommon for there to be heavy snowfall in Yongcheng in December, and the temperature drops to minus 40 degrees.

Although it is not uncommon, many people are not yet mentally prepared and have not taken precautions… they were caught off guard immediately.

Just ask, in a messy city like Yongcheng, where seven million ordinary citizens can’t even eat enough to eat, and people are starved to death every day, the quality of life is naturally extremely poor. As for the issue of warmth, it is naturally impossible to take care of it. In the first few months, the lowest temperature was only ten degrees below zero. Wearing more clothes and enduring it will be able to survive… But now, the weather is so cold that it can freeze when peeing, and it’s so cold that ordinary people can’t bear it. The cold ground suddenly rises to the greatest enemy of survival!

Those survivors living in the buildings have a better life… But there are also many poor survivors who have not been allocated housing for the time being. They can only live in wooden sheds, bridge piers, basements, abandoned houses, these buildings. Things can’t cover the wind and rain at all. When the cold wind blows, they can surely blow the heart… I don’t know how many people will freeze to death after the heavy snowfall last night. Maybe, after the cold current passes, those Those who died of freezing even had no chance to collect their bodies… “Come here, all stay quiet, the army members are finally here!”

Suddenly, the crowd yelled such a sentence. Many men shivering in the cold wind quickly turned their heads, but saw the goose feathers in the heavy snow, as expected, a group of soldiers were pushing several small wooden carts to this side with difficulty. Come.

“Everyone, no matter how hard it is to work in a cold and heavy snow day, it must be very wronged and very hard… But no matter how wronged and tired you are, you must stick to it. The construction of the city wall cannot be delayed. We finally waited for this opportunity to breathe. We must not neglect this hard-won opportunity just because of this blizzard…”

An officer in front, standing with his hand held up, raised his head vigorously and said to the nearly one hundred men.

“Liu Lieutenant… you are right to say that, but the snow will keep falling, and it will almost freeze people to death. The snow on the ground is almost as thick as knees… Look…” The name is Lao. Wang’s migrant worker bent over and said in a humble tone.

“Well, the army will naturally understand everyone… the workers who continue to work today can each receive three more steamed buns…” The officer patted the carriage of the wooden cart and smiled.

“Wow, great!”

Three steamed buns are too important for survivors of the doomsday era. Don’t think that steamed buns that are only the size of a fist are lowly, but this is enough for an adult man to have a full meal. If you save some food, it will even be enough for a whole day. For the brawny man who needs to support his family, it is tantamount to a fortune… Honestly speaking, the army’s surplus is not much. It can produce more than one million kilograms of food, but there is still too much porridge and insufficient distribution…Yongcheng is a very realistic city, and its focus is on useful people. Even if it occasionally sympathizes with the elderly, the weak, the sick, it is impossible to fully take care of them. Get the life of the weak…Yes, Yongcheng provides free food to the weak every day, two steamed buns for adults and one steamed bun for children. You can work for the army, build city walls, build houses, help transport, enlist in the army, plant crops, and please the officers… “In addition to receiving three more buns, the army will also give every household Distribute some worm eyes. These worm eyes are high-energy fuel. Once ignited, they will emit a raging flame, which lasts for several hours, enough to keep warm at night.”

The officer raised his eyebrows, and while talking, he took out a dragon louse’s eye from his pocket. It was as big as an orange. He used his gloves to lift the snow layer under his feet and put the eye on the ground. I ignite the eyes of the insect with a match, and I saw a blue flame bursting out with a swish, and it burned very vigorously. The flame was a metre high, and the heat that erupted was quite astonishing, ten times more exuberant than a heater. !

This is the role of high-energy bug eyes.

The eyes of the first-level mid-level sickle beetle are used for lighting, and the eyes of the first-level high-level red-top beetle are used for barbecue cooking. , I don’t know what the ingredients are, in short, its burning value is hundreds of times that of coal!

As for the worm eyes above the second-intermediate level, they are strategic resources. They are more extensive and more rare. They are mostly used for casting, melting, enchanting, making amulet, magic blessing, etc. They can only be used by inheritors, and they will definitely not be distributed to the folks. of.

“Uh, when did the army become so generous…”

The crowd talked in whispers, all eyes were light, and there was a sense of astonishment that the iron tree blossomed and the water flowed back. Since the incident of Commander Lu Dingyun, the army has rarely sent supplies to ordinary survivors on a large scale. Even if there is, it is only a handful of food. Nowadays, the army is sending so many low-level worm eyes for free in the snowy weather. Although it is reasonable, it still makes people feel a little bit unbelievable.

“The army has always been very generous, especially after the deaths of Commander Lu and Commander Chu, after the commander took the power…” The second lieutenant coughed, and then opened the box on a small wooden cart, revealing the low-level insect crystals inside. Shouted:

“Come, come, everyone takes three worm crystals, it is the best to be able to fuse to strengthen the strength, even if you can’t fuse, it can be regarded as an extra wealth for you…”

“Wow! Three worm crystals?”

The migrant workers who were building the city wall were all stunned, and immediately burst into cheers, all of them staring at each other with rounded eyes.

Don’t look at the three low-level insect crystals that are rubbish for the inheritors. Super masters like Li Jiayu, Ran Hongxia, Yang An, and Gu Qing will not even look at the low-level insect crystals, but this thing is for For ordinary people, it is still a good treasure that is out of reach. In the black market, a better low-level insect crystal can even exchange ten catties of grain, and if it is a red-top beetle insect crystal that can improve arm strength and leg strength Spotted beetle crystals are even more valuable, at least 30 catties of grain can be fried!

Thirty kilograms of grain is enough for an ordinary person to eat for nearly two months, so Yongcheng will circulate such a saying: A low-level insect crystal is equivalent to a human life.

Not every ordinary person can fuse worm crystals to strengthen their physique. About one-half of the people have the ability to fuse worm crystals. The remaining half will be weak ordinary people for the rest of their lives. , It will never be possible to become strong enough to have the power to protect yourself… “Yes, it is three insect crystals. You should be thankful that the army has changed its policy… Now the policy implemented by Commander Ran is…”

The officer glanced at the migrant workers in time, and said every word:

“All the people are soldiers!”
