Chapter 77 Jingyuan and Winter

Winter has come, heavy snow is falling, and the whole road is covered with a layer of snow.

This winter was extremely cold, and the sun was almost invisible. The low temperature had a great impact on Jingyuan. Without sunlight, his strength weakened a bit.

He found that he slept longer than before in winter. He originally only needed to sleep for five or six hours, but now he often felt sleepy after sleeping for eight or nine hours. But this was not the worst thing.

The temperature outside has dropped below zero. When he stays in a sub-zero environment for a long time, his health will slowly decrease. The longer he stays, the faster it decreases. It is easy to feel tired and want to

Find a hole to crawl in and hibernate until next spring.

As expected, he cannot adapt to an environment that is too cold, and the same goes for zombies. At low temperatures, the zombies' mobility is almost zero. Some of them are buried in heavy snow and frozen into stiff popsicles, unresponsive to external stimuli.

But they didn't die, they just entered a state similar to hibernation. When the temperature warms up and the ice and snow melt, they will wake up.

Jingyuan had stored enough supplies for the winter, and except for those places with special icons, he searched half of the southern suburbs.

Hundreds of kilograms of bacon, bacon, sausages, rice, white wine, vegetable oil, lard, and various spices, as well as hundreds of kilograms of vegetables, lots of onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers that he collected before winter, including some sun-dried vegetables.

Dried persimmons are stored in the basement.

He used a leaf-spring heavy crossbow to break the frozen river surface and carry the large pieces of ice to the basement, so that he had a simple freezer to keep vegetables fresh.

For me personally, this is a huge granary.

He tried some of the air-dried sparrow meat. Judging from the status bar, there was no poisoning or other negative effects, but there was no benefit. It was just some dried meat that was very dry to chew. Of course, he did not dare to give this stuff to children.

Put away all the free food, use it as protein-supplementing snacks, and put it on the top of the cabinet.

In addition, he also collected ten barrels of diesel and three barrels of gasoline and placed them in the garage.

In order to maintain room temperature, he must often burn firewood and charcoal.

During the early winter, he cut a lot of dry firewood and piled it outside the wall, which was enough to cover a whole wall. He drove the agricultural tricycle back and forth ten times and accumulated it.

This firewood is enough to last a long, long time. Judging from the speed at which he consumes it, he won't need to chop any more firewood for four to five months.

It is easier to use water in winter than before. The snow in the southern suburbs is very clean. He puts the empty bucket in the yard. Once it snows, the bucket will be filled. When the time comes, he will bring the bucket indoors. The room temperature will melt the snow.

, there is no need for him to fetch water.

He boils hot water every day and ensures that the hot water kettle is always full and filled with hot water.

In order to avoid negative buffs such as blood loss, slow reaction, fatigue, etc. when he goes out, he carries several hot water bottles with him every time he goes out, wraps them in thick cotton clothes, and ties the hot water bottles to his stomach, calves, and shoulders.

When sleeping, he also steps on a hot water bottle to sleep, which can effectively alleviate his difficulty in getting up.

Before mid-December, it didn't often snow so heavily, so he kept going to see Xiaoyun'er once a week, but after mid-December, he had to give up this practice.

The days are getting shorter and shorter, there is a lack of means of keeping warm, and his own body temperature is very low, which shortens his time for outdoor activities.

If the temperature cannot be maintained, he will soon fall asleep like the zombies who were frozen into popsicles, and he will probably sleep until next spring.

Who knows whether I will be missing arms or legs when I wake up, or it is even possible that I just didn't wake up at all.

The road condition was also very poor. It was covered with snow. Every time he walked on it, his feet would sink into the snow. It was very laborious and slow to walk.

With the weight of an agricultural tricycle, the wheel will sink in and jam the owner after driving it very far on such a road.

The bicycle is barely rideable, but it's easy to slip.

When it snows or is cloudy, he simply doesn't go out. He stays indoors, playing with Xiao Bai, occasionally turning on the generator to charge his computer, and watching TV series.

Oh, by the way, he also found a game console in a certain house, which can be said to be a Switch from another world.

It contains an open-world medieval RPG and several mini-games to kill time.

Playing games is still very fun, but he only plays for one or two hours a day because he is afraid that it will be too boring after completing the level.

Reading, listening to music, watching TV, playing games, entertaining novices, eating, there are only so many things you can do.

There was no Internet, no society, and he felt so empty that he would lie in bed and sleep, or study recipes, and the boring days passed like this.

He was almost used to it, this place was like this, there was nothing.

He once thought that his greatest enemy was zombies, mutated creatures, and mold. In fact, it was not true. His greatest enemy was loneliness.

Once he gives up in front of loneliness, he will be no different from a dead man.

Like the previous period, he will become mentally unstable, gradually collapse, and finally lose his self-awareness and become a walking zombie.

Jingyuan thought that Robinson had lived alone on an isolated island for seven or eight years, but Robinson knew that there were many people outside who had hope of survival. He knew that as long as he built a ship, he might be able to return to the human world.

Moreover, Robinson was a devout believer. He believed in God, read the Bible every day, and placed his faith in Jesus. He believed that being alone on an island was a punishment from God because he did not listen to his father's teachings.

, determined to go out to explore the island.

Robinson's situation is not as desperate as the one Jingyuan is facing now. Jingyuan can't help but think that it would be better if he lives on a desert island. Even if there is no villa to live in and no abundant food, he can accept it happily. At least he can

Every day I stood on the beach, waiting for boats that might drift by so I could call for help.

He had been waiting for a sunny day, waiting for the snow to stop, and finally the sunny day came.

He hasn't gone out for probably more than 20 days and has always locked himself in the door.

If someone said that he was going to be locked up in an isolated room with no electricity or Internet for twenty days, and there would be no reward after completion, he would definitely give that SB a slap in the face. This is how he feels now.

, I want to find someone to give him a slap in the face.

The rare sun, standing outside the door, he opened his arms and fully felt the sunshine.

Today he is going out to the city center.

For no other reason than to meet Xiao Yun'er, maybe give her a hug after meeting, maybe hold her hand for a walk, and tell her by the way that I won't go there again before spring comes, let her

She feels at ease.

In fact, he had been thinking about what Xiao Yun'er would do if he didn't go to see her at the agreed time.

I was a little worried that with her stubborn temperament, she might keep standing at the door waiting.
