When she woke up in the morning, Xiao Ruan looked at the dim light outside the window and thought she had overslept.

When I went out, I found out that the snow on the dome covered the sun, the sky was dark and the light in the sky was like evening.

"grass!"

The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, and the dome has been covered. If the arched barriers on both sides are blocked, it will be really dark.

It's like living inside a huge snow-capped mountain now, and the cage seems cramped for the first time.

Torch was also lit during the day, and most people had already started working. Under the shaking of the fire, they began their busy day.

The construction of the home has never stopped, new houses are still being built, and the village walls are constantly extending, expanding and strengthening. Every day, a large number of scattered people are outside the wall, begging to join the team.

The maze trial has not appeared for more than a week. Many casual people couldn't hold on and had to move to Wutong Town. I heard that the supplies there were still abundant, few people were hungry, and order was restored. Production and self-rescue were being carried out.

After washing up, Xiao Ruan inspected several "workshops" he was responsible for while hungry.

A workshop was close to the lake and built a simple ceiling. Two or three women were using the cold lake water to clean a pile of rotten and moldy potatoes.

Pick out the sprouted ones and use a knife to dig out the rotten part. The remaining ones will not be discarded. Instead, they will be boiled into a paste, then dried into a slab shape, and stored in the warehouse for emergencies.

The part that can be used is to be used as seeds, just wait for the temperature to warm up before starting to sow. Some of them will be eaten quickly, and some rotten vegetables leaves, ham sausages that have expired chestnuts, milk and the like, cook them into a large pot of paste.

Xiao Ruan has been eating this kind of thing for several days, and she wants to vomit when she smells this smell.

But this kind of food is already a "delicious food" that most people can only hope for. Whenever this strong smell floats out of the village wall, many people will gather, looking at the high village wall with green eyes.

A ding-bang sound came from another workshop.

As soon as we walked in, there was a wave of heat. More than a dozen naked men were building weapons. They melted the used metal and poured it into the prepared mold. They clamped it out forging before they were completely cooled.

There is not much fuel anymore. Once all the coal snatched out of the heating boiler is consumed, the workshop will have to stop. Xiao Ruan went back and took a look. Most of the coal piles piled up into the mountains were missing, leaving only a small pile.

This made him worried.

Not only coal, but the fuel required every day is becoming increasingly tight, and the trees in the park are almost cut off. I heard that I have started to search for wooden furniture and floors. In a few months, maybe even drinking a sip of hot soup will become a very luxurious thing.

The last workshop is a place for garbage sorting and cleaning.

More than a dozen women and children are cleaning the sorted cans, woven bags, plastics, aluminum alloy products, etc. As long as they can still be used, even plastic bags will not be wasted. They will be stockpiled after cleaning them, and they may be used that day.

The women worked very hard, the light was not good, and there was no torch lighting. They were all in the dark and no one was lazy.

Xiao Ruan did not alarm them. She looked silently for a while and was about to leave when she suddenly found a woman taking something out of a pile of plastic garbage and stuffing it into a little girl's mouth like lightning.

The little girl immediately lowered her head, covered her mouth, moved her cheeks a few times, looked around like a thief, raised her head, and smiled brightly.

"tasty!"

"I want it more!"

Xiao Ruan saw the lip shape she made, and saw the woman's half bag of potato chips hidden in the garbage. She hesitated for a moment and did not intend to pursue the matter.

However, when he saw a woman pouring dirty water into the lake, he was furious.

He jumped out immediately, grabbed the woman, ignored her crying, called two people, and drove her and her family of four out.

"... Such a black sheep must not be tolerated!"

Everyone, including the mother and daughter who stole the potato chips, were trembling under his anger.

This little episode passed quickly. An hour later, Xiao Ruan brought her breakfast to the door.

There are only 25 minutes left in the countdown. To prevent it, Lao Wu from the infirmary also took his men to wait.

"You tell me, what is the one behind the door...?" Old Wu came over and sat with him, chatting while drinking.

"I don't know." Xiao Ruan blew a layer of oil on the slumber, frowned, and swallowed in small mouthfuls. It turned out that he didn't care. When he saw his expression, he was a little alert and asked, "Have you heard of something?"

"Hehe!" Old Wu smiled mysteriously and said, "It's nothing, don't be nervous."

Xiao Ruan knew that since Wu Xin and the "dog" came that day, all kinds of rumors have been circulating in the dark, but only the core people know the real secret. Over the past period, not only no one has ever tricked him into talking, but he has been perfunctory.

Looking at Lao Wu today... Could it be that the secret has been leaked!?

Just as I was about to ask, Xiao Mingyou arrived with someone.

"You eat first..." Xiao Mingyou waved his hand, strode to the door, stared at the countdown above, and pondered for a while with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Ruan finished the dough for a few bites, wiped her mouth, and came to him.

"Last night, all the people sent out came back." Xiao Mingyou said: "I don't know Wutong Town. Anyway, there are many such gates in S City."

Xiao Ruan was mentally prepared, but was not surprised. He pointed to the gray words on the floor on the door and said, "Everyone went...the first floor!?"

Xiao Mingyou nodded, "It should be."

"Another sky!?"

"With a boundary, it is naturally a cage, otherwise what else can it be!"

"Then where is this sky? The first group of people who passed by said that there were only ruins inside, let alone people don't even have a living creature."

Xiao Mingyou's eyes flashed and she said, "Maybe they are not on this planet?"

Xiao Ruan smiled and asked back: "Where can the earth be there if it is not there? The corpses in the ruins still show that behind this gate is somewhere in the country."

Xiao Mingyou looked at his appearance and laughed: "Just talk, why are you doing so anxious? I was so angry in the morning!?"

Xiao Ruan sighed, trying to tell him about his concerns, but felt that time was not right, so she fell silent.

The countdown is about to end, and the atmosphere in the house suddenly becomes tense. When the number above returns to zero, the gray number "1" on the floor lights up.

"Open the door!" Xiao Mingyou shouted in a deep voice.

"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Adams, a mixed-blooded boy, held the door handle and took a deep breath to unscrew it.
Chapter completed!
