Seeing that Ling Xue was still very cold, he replaced the hot water bottles in the storage space with a few more to keep her warmer.
Later, Ayong was still worried, so he added two more quilts for Lingxue. Lingxue didn't feel the warmth effect yet, but she could feel the weight of the quilts very clearly, as if a mountain was pressing on her body.
After the cold wave, news about their Yushan shelter was also released through the optical computer. 11,233 people died in their base and 511 people died in their shelter during this cold wave.
Ling Xue didn't understand why someone died when they were so well prepared.
Later, she learned from the cave dwellers that some people froze to death outside before they could return. They wanted to return but didn't have time, and there was nothing they could do about it. Some people were just hoping for the best, hoping a cold snap wouldn't happen, and they actually did. There were quite a few such people. Others froze to death for other reasons, too. Everyone had their own misfortunes.
After a few days, the people in the shelter gradually adapted to the temperature. At least they were no longer unable to move like they were when the cold wave first hit. Now everyone could get up and move around.
Some brave ones ran out of the cave to check. Everything was white, and the water surface that was about to spread to the cave entrance was frozen harder than stone.
They followed the psychic warriors from the shelter and walked a few laps on the ice, but they didn't dare to stay for long and returned to the cave.
Fortunately, the rainstorm stopped when the cold wave came. At first, no one realized it, until someone exclaimed: "It seems that it is not raining outside!"
Everyone suddenly realized that they had only been focusing on keeping warm and had not thought about when the heavy rain would stop. But it was a good thing overall.
The break in the heavy rain made everyone's depressed mood a little better, but it still couldn't completely pull everyone out of their worry and anxiety.
The shortage of fuel makes life difficult for people living in shelters. They can't hope to survive the freezing cold with the heating supplies they have, but they can't expect it to be too easy either.
So, now everyone is trying to figure out how to find cold-proof and warm supplies outside, but no one has taken the lead yet, and those who have ideas are just waiting and watching.
Zhao Xin also knew what everyone was thinking, but he didn't dare to just send everyone out like that. If something happened, he couldn't take responsibility.
So, he led a team out to check it out first.
The people in the shelter calmed down after hearing the news. Why the rush? Let's just wait for the official team to return!
It didn't take too long before Zhao Xindang led the team back. Of course, they also brought back a large amount of coal and timber.
Because everyone rushed out when the heavy rain hit, many useful supplies were not brought out from home, which resulted in people having a difficult time in the shelters.
Seeing the official team's harvest, the people in the cave suddenly became excited.
Because the official team is still very principled, the supplies they collected were part of the original reserves of the base. They did not go to the people's homes, and they also wanted to give everyone an extra opportunity to go back and collect supplies.
Now that they can go out, everyone’s first destination is to see if they can go back home, even though they know there is a high possibility that they will not be able to return to their original homes.
At that time, the sea water almost submerged the entire base. Except for a few high-rise buildings that were not frozen, the other floors were frozen solid and it was difficult to enter.
