Chen Fengping and his people prepared to go out to collect supplies during the warmest time of the day.
There are a total of 500 people, each of whom is covered with warm baby stickers, and they are also equipped with speed skating skateboards. They try to get to a populated place in the shortest time and collect supplies that can be exchanged for more points.
Many of these 500 people lost family members and friends in this disaster.
They were alone, looking at the old and young in the safe zone, and then thinking about their family and friends. They wanted to use their lives to fight for a way out for others.
Bai Ziyu no longer managed the chores in the entire safe zone, but began to conduct research.
He always carries the results of his research with him.
At this time, the safety and ventilation problems in the safe area have been solved, but the problem of food and clothing still remains.
For food and clothing issues, people must be able to get out of the safe area to collect materials and redeem points.
Moreover, the safe zone requires other systems and requires too many points.
People cannot hide like mice in a hole, otherwise they will starve to death in the hole.
The most urgent thing for today's plan is to create clothes that can keep people warm and allow ordinary people to walk freely outside.
In fact, aviation suits can do this, but currently the aviation suits in the system have not been unlocked, and it will take a long time to unlock them.
It would be better to let Bai Ziyu complete his research results and apply them to clothes.
The people in the mine slowly began to have their own things to do.
After the entire mine is stabilized, the space can be expanded and various partitions constructed.
Most people have moved to the bottom.
The break at the stairs has also been connected.
But at this time, except for the dim lights, no one else was gathering on the stairs.
There are more than 1 people in the mine, and even children have things they need to do.
They clean the mine.
Find a suitable location, continue excavation and reinforcement, and expand the entire cavity area.
At this time, the mine was very empty because it had been mined, and the area stretched endlessly.
But those mine tunnels are irregular.
Sometimes a space is dug out toward this side, and then a space is dug out toward that side.
The space below is like a maze. No one dares to explore it at will, for fear that if they are not careful, they will never come back.
So the temporarily formed safety zone management committee decided that everyone needed to participate in opening up the winding mine tunnels and connecting the mines together.
Except for the very young children and the very old, most other people are actively participating in work.
Everyone worked together to expand the mine, and while everyone was still expanding the overall space, they invented another method.
They will expand some mine tunnels into rooms in some corners that are not very important. One room is connected to another, and it has begun to take shape.
A bonfire can be lit in the room and the temperature inside can rise to extremes above zero.
It was not until night that those who had gone out to look for supplies finally came back.
Some people in the safe zone have already gone to find places to rest.
After being tired for several days, many people did not dare to sleep because the temperature was too low.
The ventilation system was finally repaired. At this time, everyone exchanged the points earned from today's work for coal in twos and threes, and found a corner to light a bonfire and have a good sleep.
Most of the people who are still working at this time are those who have been working since the beginning. They have always worked in three shifts, and the work never stops, and the personnel take turns to take breaks.
At this time, the night shift staff are still heavy footsteps sounded, everyone looked up at the entrance.
I saw less than half of the 500-person team when I left.
There were many people supporting each other, with thick ice shells on their faces, completely covering their faces.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and hurried forward to help the people who came in and collapsed on the ground.
At this moment, Chen Fengping felt as if there were countless ants biting him on his feet.
But he can't fall. If he falls, who will take people out? No one will go out, everyone will be waiting to starve to death in the safe zone.
The workers who stayed behind in the cave exchanged various heating items in the system to keep these returning heroes warm.
There are still some people who need urgent treatment.
The safe zone became lively again.
Ye Jingya was also awakened, and when she arrived, most people had already been properly arranged.
But this time the losses were extremely serious.
Almost all those who came back were young people.
Tears instantly covered Chen Fengping's face when he mentioned this.
There was pain and despair in his eyes.
Ye Jingya just stayed with him quietly, knowing that Chen Fengping needed some time.
When Chen Fengping finally cried enough, he said: "It's too cold outside, all the buildings are frozen, and the vast white snowfield is like God trying to cleanse the world.
We walked very fast, and when we arrived near the city, we didn't dare to waste time. At that time, everyone's body temperature had dropped to the extreme, and no matter how many warmers we used, it would not help!
But now that we are out, we still have to grit our teeth and collect supplies.
Fortunately, there are a lot of precision instruments in that area, and there are gold shops and various shops nearby. Anyway, we exchanged everything we saw! "
Speaking of this, Chen Fengping's voice choked up again.
"But it's too cold outside, and some of us started to shake uncontrollably. We gave him strong drinks, but it didn't work."
Then the choking turned into crying again.
"I ordered everyone to go back immediately, but they, they said yes, but after we left for a while, we found that some people were separated from us!"
"The first person to become hypothermic couldn't hold on and died."
"We didn't dare to stay any longer, so we called out to them as we walked forward."
"After we left for a while, a few of them ran over. It turned out that some of them had lost their body temperature. They wanted to gain more points while they were still conscious, so they didn't even think about coming back!"
"They have already thought about it. They want to exchange their lives for more points. Even those who came back, they don't even want to come back!"
"We were too tired. They said that they have been working all year round and are in better shape than us young people, so they stood in front to brave the cold wind for us!"
Chen Fengping suddenly lost his voice in pain, like a wandering and desperate child, crying uncontrollably.
Ye Jingya already knew why Chen Fengping was crying.
Her bald head flew out of the bottom of the cave. The top was completely white, but there were more than a dozen corpses on the ground, and each corpse maintained the same movements as before being frozen.
They leaned forward, like travelers marching against the strong wind, but they could no longer take another step.
They opened a way home for those behind them, but when they died, they were still moving forward.
