Chapter 180

The treatment was not very effective, and the country was also helpless. The only thing they could do was to go out as little as possible. Staying in a closed room could reduce contact with the air, but staying indoors for a long time would cause psychological problems.

They could only try their best to relieve the pressure.

When Wen Zheng and Tuan Tuan went out, they noticed that the ballads that Tuan Tuan had organized the bird group to sing were frequently played by people, and the two remembered the long-forgotten live broadcast room.

When logging into the live broadcast application, the phone was stuck for a while, and the private messages and comments were all full. At first, most of them were praises and thanks, and later they urged them to resume the live broadcast or play a few more songs. Now it has evolved into worry about them, wondering if something happened to them during this period.

After reading these contents, Wen Zheng gave the next choice to Tuan Tuan. The bird group was basically managed by Tuan Tuan, and most of the live broadcast room doors were filmed by Tuan Tuan.

The group of birds that came to take refuge during the acid rain had never been restricted in their freedom, but the environment polluted by acid rain was already difficult for them to survive, so they did not take the initiative to leave.

Now the community doesn't need birds to patrol. These birds eat and drink at Wen's house every day. Tuantuan is thinking about asking them to pay for food.

So the door of the live broadcast room, which had been closed for a long time, was opened again that night. The audience who came to watch were delighted, and the news spread quickly on the Internet.

Wen Zheng, who was searching the current national policies on his mobile phone, spent less than ten minutes searching and returning to see that the entry that clearly referred to Tuantuan's live broadcast room door was on the hot list, and realized again how popular the live broadcast room door was.

The bird choir started playing again. Tuantuan controlled the intelligence of the birds to a point that would not really arouse suspicion. He taught them new songs every long enough. He only kept a part of the income from each live broadcast room door as food for the birds, and donated all the rest. He and his father did not lack this income, so the country would arrange how to use it after donating it.

The country is doing its best to prepare for the next disaster.

There was another light rain in the past two months. This time there was no typhoon, but the air still contained harmful components that spread from the volcanic eruption, turning this ordinary rain into acid rain.

Environmental purification requires a lot of time, and the coal, oil and natural gas burned in human activities will produce acidic substances emitted into the atmosphere. The environment can still bear it before the disaster, but if it is not controlled now, it will make the situation worse.

After these situations were announced by the government, everyone was called on to truly save energy and reduce emissions. The Little Ice Age, which is expected to gradually come in the next few years, requires a lot of energy. If humans want to survive, they must start preparing now.

While calling on the public to save energy, the government also tried to develop clean energy. Solar energy cannot be relied on. In addition to wind energy, the country began to build biogas digesters everywhere, using biogas for heating and cooking. The remaining biogas digester residues can also be used to fertilize the fields, and the food crisis is not far away.

All government workers are busy non-stop. In order to cope with the next crisis, the country has formulated a series of measures to adjust the current social structure and use productivity in the most urgent places.

Changes happen around people every day.

The time gate quietly came to winter, and people were almost used to the days when they didn't see much sunlight, and then they were frozen by the sudden change of weather.

In recent years, because of the increasingly serious greenhouse effect, the average temperature has gradually increased, and the coldness of winter has become less and less. Not to mention the southern region, even the central region rarely sees snowflakes.

But this winter, there was a heavy snowfall, which made people recall the winter more than ten years ago. At that time, just like now, snowflakes fell like goose feathers, and soon the earth turned white.

Even the south welcomed the snow that had not been seen for many years.

It was not cold when it snowed. After seeing the snowflakes, many people were a little excited, but soon the news reported that the water after the melted snow was detected to be acidic, so it was best not to contact with the skin.

Even so, some people wore scarves and gloves to play in the snow, making snowmen and snowball fights. The sound of laughter spread far away, and the happy mood was transmitted with the laughter, which made people laugh when they heard it.

The happy days did not last long. They became sad before half a day. The snow was trampled and condensed into ice. People walking on it slipped and fell to the ground before they could react. They slipped again before they could get up from the ground. Even those who wanted to help might fall down with them.

It was not easy for adults to fall down. Children were short and light, so it was the easiest for them. They could get up immediately after patting their buttocks after falling down. But if the elderly slipped on the road, they really couldn't get up.

In previous years, in order to clear the ice on the road, some people would sprinkle salt to accelerate the melting of ice. Now no one would waste it like this. The main salt producing areas are polluted by acid rain. Even with the most optimistic attitude, only the stock of salt can be consumed in the next two years.

The snowplows sent by the government cleared the main roads, and people found various suitable tools to clear the snow themselves. The children who were required to continue to go to school after the disaster welcomed a few days of vacation and came out with their parents to help.

After clearing the snow, Wen Zheng went to the supermarket to check. According to the weather forecast for the next few days, even if the vegetables were planted indoors where it was not so cold, the temperature would still be too low in two days. So in order to prevent the death of these vegetables, Wen Zheng bought a lot of plastic film in advance and wrapped it around the shelves for insulation.

Just like the plastic greenhouses in previous winters.

After two days, the snow began to melt and the temperature continued to drop.

The volcanic eruption was not far away from now, and the temperature was not ridiculously low. It was just a few degrees below zero, just like the snowy days before the disaster. You can clearly see the white mist when you breathe out in the house, and you can freeze into ice immediately when you pour a basin of water outside.

However, there were many ways to keep warm in previous years, but not this year. Air conditioners and electric heaters, which burn electricity for heating, cannot be used at all because of power restrictions, and heating is even less available, so people can only keep warm physically.

All the thick clothes at home are taken out. They don't care whether they look good or not, but only care whether they keep warm or not. When going out, they wear hats, scarves, and gloves. It's so cold that people shiver all over.

The flower cotton jacket that was about to be eliminated in recent years has become popular again. Don't look at how it looks, but it is really warm to wear. In the case of being so cold that people will get frozen sick, no one will choose to ignore the temperature and pay attention to appearance.

In the cold weather and difficult roads, fewer people went to work, especially when wearing thick clothes, their feet would get cold easily. The few vehicles that drove on the road were prone to slipping, and even if they drove slowly, several minor car accidents occurred.

Everyone welcomed the holiday under such circumstances, staying at home, wearing furry clothes and hiding in thick quilts, and soon the whole body became warm. Some people also exercised in the house, running and jumping to warm up their bodies.

Wen Zheng and Tuan Tuan, who had improved their physical fitness, adapted well to the current temperature. They were not afraid of being seen by others and felt strange at home, so they only wore thicker sweaters and trousers.

The two also covered all the pots with vegetable plants at home with a layer of insulation film. These vegetables grown at home can provide the two people with daily consumption.

When the snow melted almost completely and the roadside was easy to walk, the two went to the supermarket to take a look. The vegetables on the first layer were kept warm with plastic film, and they were all very energetic, but the growth was a little slower than normal, which was within the normal range. The chickens on the second floor were all huddled together to keep warm, and they looked listless.

When they went up, the employees who stayed behind in the supermarket were picking up the fallen chicken feathers. They were not going to throw them away, but all of them were collected and maybe they could be used later after being cleaned. It was a time of shortage of supplies, so anything useful could not be thrown away.

In the following days, it rarely snowed, but the temperature did not rise much. The road was easy to walk on, but the weather was still so cold that the feet were frozen every day. People who didn't like exercise couldn't help but move more.

Later, when it snowed again, some people couldn't stand the cold weather and bought coal at a high price to burn at home. They were afraid of being discovered and didn't leave too big a vent. Then they fainted in the house due to coal poisoning, and the whole family couldn't be rescued.

There were also fires caused by burning fires in the house. Such situations have occurred all over the country. The news can only keep reminding and encouraging people to keep warm through exercise. More people go out for jogging every day, and no one uses the elevator that is only opened at a fixed time every day. Everyone takes the stairs.

People had just gotten used to the cold weather and were about to usher in the Spring Festival when large-scale snowfall hit the country again.

Prices would have risen a lot near the end of the year, and when they heard about large-scale snowfall, they soared, and prices were updated every half a day.

The price of vegetables and chickens grown by Wen Zheng also increased a little, but not too much. He stopped when other places were still rising. Old customers came to ask about the price and were immediately happy, but unfortunately, according to Wen Zheng's rules, they could only buy in limited quantities.

Before the customers who came to buy vegetables called for more people to buy, the police car stopped at the door of the supermarket. The purpose of coming was also to purchase ingredients.

Wen Zheng naturally welcomed the police to buy. It stands to reason that places like supermarkets cannot be transformed into planting and breeding areas, but because the country encourages full use of indoor space after the volcanic eruption, Wen Zheng immediately applied for approval after hearing the news. Later, the police helped a lot in the continued operation of the supermarket, and today they must not be allowed to return empty-handed.

Wen Zheng asked the police about the quantity they wanted to buy this time, and after looking at the shelves and the number of customers in the supermarket, he knew the number in his mind.

Let the staff hang a sold out sign at the door, and Wen Zheng sorted out the quantity the police needed and handed it to them. At this time, the guests had almost chosen everything. They paid but did not leave. The remaining few looked at the remaining ingredients in the supermarket and asked, "Boss Wen, you haven't sold out this stuff yet. Can you sell us some more?"

"No, these are reserved for my employees. If you want to buy them, you can ask them." Wen Zheng smiled.

Seeing that no one was making a fuss on Wen Zheng's side, the police paid the bill and left with the ingredients. It was almost the New Year and there was a blizzard. They still needed to stay on duty in the police station. They still ran around these days to remind everyone to take precautions.

The snow came earlier than the time in the weather forecast. This was a much heavier snow than the previous ones. Standing outside for two minutes felt like I was going to be frozen. The holiday came early, and most people stayed at home to avoid the cold.

Wen Zheng and Tuantuan cooked hot pot at home. Only this kind of food that was always heated would not become cold before eating much. There were a lot of peppers in the hot pot, and the boiling soup was bright red. The dishes cooked in it fully absorbed the spicy taste, and when they ate it, they felt warm all over.

The birds all hid at home obediently, eating the food soaked in hot water prepared by Tuantuan for them.

After eating, they wrapped themselves in blankets and nestled in the sofa. Wen Zheng and Tuantuan were close together, especially Tuantuan, who was like a small stove, and it was quite comfortable to hug. The two sat on the sofa and looked through the relevant information about the volcanic eruption and the subsequent small ice age, while looking for products that could solve this disaster in the system store.

This mission is not simple. Famine and cold will come together in the next few years. Maybe Wen Zheng and Tuantuan can survive in this world for seven years, but by then there may be few people left in this world.

Wen Zheng wanted to find a way to deal with this disaster, but he was not sure where to start, so he could only look for it a little bit at first.

Seeing that the two owners were busy and had no time to take care of them, the well-taught birds returned to their room doors, flew into the drum and started to generate electricity by themselves, which deserved a compliment.

The time gate immersed in thinking flew from the fingertips like quicksand. Wen Zheng and Tuantuan were busy with research except for eating. From time to time, they pointed at the latest discovered products and discussed with each other, and then waited for the sudden power outage in the house.

The energy-saving lamps turned off, and the house was dark. The power went out again. Recalling the big snowstorm mentioned in the news today. There was still a whirring sound of wind outside the window, and the wind and snow were mixed. Wen Zheng had reason to suspect that the snow had collapsed the wires.

Wen Zheng and Tuantuan blinked their eyes, waited for a few seconds, got used to the darkness, moved freely in the room door, turned off the switch and turned on another one, and replaced the circuit used.

The lights in the house lit up again, and the electricity used now came from the batteries stored in the house. Usually, Wen Zheng earned a lot of electricity from selling ingredients, so he found time to charge several batteries at home in case of emergency.

The power outage and internet outage did not have much impact on their lives. They continued to look for a suitable option but could not find one until the New Year's Day. They put aside their worries and prepared for the New Year's Eve tonight.

The water from the faucet first passed through the multiple water purifiers in the house before it flowed out. It stopped flowing before it flowed for two seconds. Wen Zheng reached out and knocked on the water pipe a few times to distinguish the sound and confirmed that the water in the water pipe was frozen, which meant that the water was still out.

Then use the reserve water source at home. If it doesn't work, there is still the reserve in the storage space door. Even if there are only two of them at home, it will be annoying during the New Year.

However, there is a group of birds, so the house can never be quiet, and there are also enthusiastic neighbors. Several families knocked on the door to ask about the situation and talk about how the New Year's Eve dinner is prepared. Even if the mood is affected by the power outage and water outage, I still try to maintain my expectations for life.
