Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 753: The Extreme Cold Begins

    

terribly wrong."“You have no need to blame yourself. Blame the poisonous woman Xiangyi instead. If it weren't for her sending assassins to attack us in the dead of night, we wouldn't have suffered suc...Yuan Chongming's hands were shaking now. If it hadn't been for the ripples who came to smash the door, these adults might have slept through it, and Jiayao certainly wouldn't have survived. So, after taking the ginger, he quickly opened the gas stove and boiled the ginger sugar water.

Li Qian and the other two were shivering, putting on layer after layer of clothes. It was really cold; they felt like they were turning stiff. If they hadn't been woken up by the banging on the door, they would have fallen asleep.

Ripples had a good memory. Holding a hammer, she knocked on the doors of everyone from the fifteenth floor down, waking up those who hadn't left. Then she knocked upstairs again, all the way to the eighteenth floor, making sure there was movement in each room. Satisfied, she returned to her own house.

Then, she boiled ginger sugar water for herself and drank a warm bowl. She also brought out a pot of ginseng chicken soup from the space. This was the time to eat, replenish the body's consumption, otherwise, there would be no way to resist the cold.

Waiting until dawn, Lian'er measured the temperature outside. It had already dropped to -30 degrees. The day before it was still 10 degrees above zero. This kind of drastic temperature drop would likely kill a number of people. There was only so much Lian'er could do to help.

The knock at the door now came from Yuan Chongming, holding Jia Yao in his arms. The little boy looked listless and lacked any energy.

What's wrong

"Jia Yao has a fever, I gave him medicine to bring it down, but it keeps going up and down. I remember you studied clinical medicine, can you take a look"

Yuan Chongming was truly out of options and could only seek help from Lianyi.

Come on in!

The ripples allow the other party to enter.

"Hi sister!"

Although Jiale was feverish, he still politely asked how you were doing.

"Good boy, let your sister have a look at how you're doing."

Ripple found a tongue depressor, looked at the little guy's throat, listened to his heartbeat, and finally measured his temperature. 38 degrees, he was indeed feverish.

"His voice is also inflamed, he needs to take anti-inflammatory medicine. Do you have it ready there"

"Ready, I'll go get it."

"Let's make some food for him first so that Jiayao can eat something and build up his resistance. After taking the anti-inflammatory medicine, we'll use physical cooling methods to apply a compress to his forehead and rub his palms. We'll see how he is tomorrow."

Ripple shared her diagnosis.

"Okay, I understand."

"If all else fails, come to me, I'll give you an IV drip. But antibiotics are damaging to your immune system if used too much, so I wouldn't recommend it unless absolutely necessary."

What the ripples didn't say is that during the evolution of plants and animals in the later stages, humans were also evolving. Although they didn't evolve superpowers, becoming physically stronger allowed them to better adapt to the new environment.

"I understand! Thank you!"

Before leaving, Yuan Chongming left two chocolates as a fee for the consultation. Lianyi did not refuse.

Finally, it was the next day. Yuan Chongming came to find Lian Yi with panda eyes.

"The ripples... House Yao has a fever, but he doesn't have much appetite. I don't know what to make for him."

"I have some pigeon soup here, just made it today. You take it over there! Just give me a chicken in return."

Thank you!

Yuan Chongming didn't refuse, he took the stewed pigeon soup back to his house. This was a great tonic. After a while, Zhao Jia came back carrying a frozen, hard chicken.

At this time, Zhao Jia was wearing a military coat and a scarf around her neck. After entering the house, she sat by the fire pit, which rippled with warmth, and muttered:

"Ripple, thanks for reminding me. We stocked up on firewood and charcoal for grilling, and we gathered a lot of warm clothes. Otherwise, it would have been really tough to get through this. It feels like the temperature outside is still dropping."

"Your feeling is right, it's already minus fifty degrees outside."

Liàn Yī handed the other person a bowl of ginger soup. Zhào Jiā took it and drank it all in one gulp, instantly feeling her body warm up.

Yesterday, Li and Weifeng went out to test the water. They found that the water had frozen into ice and people could walk on it. It is estimated that it will be warm in two days.

Zhao Jia reported the latest news, she found that Lian Yi's material reserves were relatively sufficient, and she rarely went out for things that were generally okay.

You better go scavenging for supplies again while everyone's still none the wiser! Grab whatever you can find!

The weather is too cold, in order to keep warm the human body will automatically burn fat and the demand for food will be greater.

Ripple reminded, the extreme cold also lasted for three months. In this kind of weather, there were quite a few people who died from freezing.

"Thank you for the reminder, Team Li also said the same thing. I originally wanted to go out yesterday, but Jia Yao got sick, so the plan was delayed."

Zhao Jia speaks the truth.

"Bring your boy home, I'll keep an eye on him. You guys get out of here as fast as you can, and make sure to eat a good meal before you go."

"Okay, thank you, Ripple!"

Zhao Jia's eyes lit up, she immediately thanked him and didn't stay long. After saying a few words, she returned to her own place.

Before dawn broke the next day, Yuan Chongming brought the young one over to Lian Yi's side. He thanked her profusely, and his way of returning the favor was to find supplies, so they planned to go as far away as possible.

Go with peace of mind!

Ripple hugged Whirlwind and said with a smile.

Yuan Chongming nodded, locked the door and left with the three people. This time they were leaving on snowboards, it seemed they were prepared.

"Hurricane, go keep Xiaoyao company, tell me if he wakes up."

The ripples touched the slippery, polished surface. The Black Whirlwind, whose skin had grown fleshy, spoke.

"Meow!"

A whirlwind responded with a whimper, lying beside the head of Home Yao and keeping him company as he slept.

The ripples contacted the millstone and asked:

How is Mu Mianmian doing

She flushed, in the freezing cold night she didn't notify her neighbor and stayed awake all night, then using the password Ma Tao told her, opened the door across from hers. She found the child and woman had already frozen to death, only Ma Tao still had a breath left. She directly ransacked the room for all the food and warm clothes and blankets, then opened the bedroom window and froze Ma Tao to death alive.

"Ruthless!"

The ripples sounded in surprise.

"Who said it isn't"

"She is a girl without the ability to protect herself and has food, so sooner or later she will be targeted."

The ripples seem to have already seen the other party's fate.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her."

Lian Yi knew Mu Mianmian hadn't slept well, so she felt relieved. At this time, a "meow meow" sound came from the bedroom.

When the ripples entered the bedroom, they found Jia Yao staring blankly at a whirlwind.

"Awake Do you feel any discomfort"

Ripple smiled and touched the other person's forehead.

"Ripple Sister, where is my uncle"

He went out to get food, let me take care of you for a while, okay

"Ripple Sister, I'll trouble you!"

The little guy immediately thanked him.

"No need to be polite, your uncle has made all your sick meals. I'll warm it up for you and then you can eat. Play with Whirlwind for a bit first."

"Well, the wind feels warm."

Jia Yao really liked Cyclone, hugging him and rubbing against him, grinning widely.

"I slept soundly holding it, so warm that I woke up comfortably even on the coldest nights."

Ripples smiled and said.

With a playmate, Jiayao's spirits improved greatly. After eating, she watched cartoons until she fell asleep and slept all the way until Yuan Chongming and the others returned.

This time, the four of them had smiles on their faces as they hauled back a large amount of things, attracting countless curious glances.cial werewolf, serving the Bioengineering Corporation.
