Earth Era

Chapter 15: snowdrifts

The old man stood up and shouted to the people behind him, and the people gathered around. The old man ordered a few words, and the crowd dispersed. After a while, they brought their own family or sleighs or cars to the front of the church.

"Guests from afar, please wait here for a while. We are going to look for the Freya family. When we find them, we will come back immediately." The old man said.

Meng Zhuo stepped forward and said: "Old man, we are all strong young people, how can we hide behind. We go with you, just let Watson stay here. Watson is sick, he There is no way to withstand the cold."

Zhao Huasheng immediately stepped forward and protested, "No, let's go together."

Meng Zhuo glanced at Zhao Huasheng lightly, Zhao Huasheng returned with a firm look, and Meng Zhuo nodded.

The residents of the whole town, except for the frail and too old, almost all of them came out. The barking of dogs, the roar of cars cluttered. The old man obviously knew the direction Freya's family was going, so he didn't hesitate on the road, and went straight down in one direction.

The snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the wind changed from a whimper at the beginning to a shrill roar. Although he was wearing thick clothes to keep warm from the cold, Zhao Huasheng still felt cold from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. In front of him is a white world of ice and snow. Under the heavy snow, people can't even see things 20 meters away.

The worry in Zhao Huasheng's heart became stronger and stronger, and it seemed that the chill had also penetrated into his heart: "What if the Freya family lost their way under such a snowstorm... Will they have an accident?"

Some people took out their loudspeakers, and some people just used their voices to shout as they walked, but there was never a response in the wind and snow.

After moving forward for a while, a figure with his head lowered and almost covered by snow entered people's eyes. The figure stepped on the thick snow, struggling against the wind in the wind and snow. Approaching, people can see clearly that this person is Jens who was just sent by the old man to find the Freya family.

"Have you found the Freya family?" the old man asked.

"No." Jens shook his head, "I went to the fishing spot to see that the net was taken away, but I didn't find the Freya family."

"Where's your sleigh? Didn't you go in a sleigh when you went?" the old man asked.

Jens cursed, and then replied: "In this horrible weather, I arrived at the fishing spot, and just stopped the sleigh to check it out for a while, and then the snow began to pick up. The dog that took me there was frozen to death, and I had to walk back by myself. Fortunately, I met you, otherwise I would have lost my way."

Sled dogs are a very special breed, they have a strong ability to keep out the cold. But...they were frozen to death.

"The situation of Freya's family is very dangerous. We must find them as soon as possible, otherwise they are also in danger of freezing to death." Mengzhuo said, "We also have to get together, and be careful not to get separated. Xiaohu, you go. Bring the helicopter over and use the thermal imager to find the Freyas."

"Yes!" The strong young man named Xiaohu agreed and walked back towards the town. Zhao Huasheng asked, "Can the helicopter take off in such weather?"

"Don't worry, if we don't find the Freya family as soon as possible, they will all die. Xiaohu is an ace pilot, and the plane is also the most advanced. It is equipped with a global positioning system, so you don't have to worry about losing your way. Don't worry, nothing will happen. ." Meng Zhuo seemed to answer with certainty. So Zhao Huasheng had to suppress his uneasiness.

A group of people are still searching in the wind and snow, but they always find nothing. In such weather, even if footprints are left, they will be filled with snow in a short time. In front of the eyes is always a vast expanse of snow, without any exception.

After searching for more than half an hour, the thing resembling a mobile phone in Mengzhuo's chest vibrated. Meng Zhuo took it out and looked at it, and said to Zhao Huasheng: "I found it, it's not far from us, it's about two kilometers to the left."

"How are they? Is there anything wrong?" Zhao Huasheng asked hurriedly.

Meng Zhuo sighed, patted Zhao Huasheng on the shoulder, and said, "You will know when you arrive."

The ominous premonition in Zhao Huasheng's heart became stronger, but there was always a glimmer of hope in his heart. Zhao Huasheng didn't ask any further, and the main force also turned around at this time, heading towards that place under the leadership of Meng Zhuo.

It took about half an hour to walk to this place. Zhao Huasheng first saw what seemed to be a snowdrift, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a sled with four people sitting on it, but they were almost covered by snow. Before the sled, there were still several sled dogs lying on the ground, and they were frozen hard.

Zhao Huasheng got off the sleigh tremblingly, and walked slowly to the snowdrift. Meng Zhuo followed Zhao Huasheng closely, obviously to prevent Zhao Huasheng from having any accident.

Zhao Huasheng tightened the hat on his head, squatted down, and brushed away the snow that fell on Freya and her mother's face. The little girl who was still sweetly calling her uncle that morning has closed her eyes forever. Her mother still held her tightly in her arms, as if she wanted to use her arms to retain a little heat for the little girl. But obviously, doing so is of no use.

Next to them, the old couple hugged with their eyes closed, and they kept this posture until they were dying.

The little girl still had a sweet smile on her face, even a little rosy on her face. She seemed to be asleep, as if she would open her eyes in the next moment, then threw herself into Zhao Huasheng's arms with a smile, and said to Zhao Huasheng, "Uncle, we brought the fish back, we have a fragrant roast at noon. You can eat fish."

"People who are frozen to death actually have no pain." Behind Zhao Huasheng, Meng Zhuo said in a low voice: "The process of people being frozen to death is divided into two steps. The stimuli are sensitive, the skin and subcutaneous blood vessels constrict, and the blood flows to the deep layers of the body to reduce heat loss. But when the body temperature drops to 30 to 26 degrees Celsius, the cerebral cortex will lose its regulation of body temperature, and the warmth of the deep body will be lost. The blood will flow to the surface of the body, and the cold blood on the surface of the body will flow to the deep part of the body, the temperature in the deep part of the body drops rapidly, and the temperature on the surface of the body drops slowly, so the skin will feel very warm... So people who are frozen to death, before dying They don't feel cold, they feel warm, and they die in warmth."

"Look, they were smiling until they were dying, they died without pain," Mondro repeated.

Zhao Huasheng's expression has always remained blank, without any emotional fluctuations. Zhao Huasheng didn't seem to hear what Meng Zhuo said. Zhao Huasheng just stroked Freya's little face over and over again, feeling the heat draining from Freya's little face little by little, feeling it cold little by little, and finally solidified and turned into a small face. The symbol was engraved deep in Zhao Huasheng's mind.

Zhao Huasheng was shaking all over. Zhao Huasheng still seemed to be thinking of Freya's tender and sweet voice in his ears: "Uncle, this is a gift I gave you." He also seemed to be thinking of her mother's somewhat restrained words: "Mr. Zhao, you have Please tell us anything you need." He also seemed to hear the hearty and kind laughter of the old couple: "Young man, come and eat."

There are many voices lingering in Zhao Huasheng's mind, but the owners of those voices are always here. Zhao Huasheng also had a donkey-like clay reindeer that Freya made at the expense of sleeping in his pocket. When he touched it, he seemed to be able to feel the temperature of Freya's fingertips from it. Freya also had the string of pearl necklaces that Zhao Huasheng gave her on her neck. The pearls still looked crystal clear, but... everything was different, everything was different.

Zhao Huasheng knelt down in front of Freya's family, and finally couldn't help crying. Standing behind Zhao Huasheng, Li Wei stretched out her hand and seemed to want to help Zhao Huasheng, but she finally did not touch Zhao Huasheng. Li Wei stared blankly there, and her eyes turned red.

Zhao Huasheng hasn't cried for a long time. He hasn't shed any tears since Zhao Huasheng was a year old. But at this moment, Zhao Huasheng was crying like a child.

"I killed them, I killed them!" Zhao Huasheng cried.

The residents of the town gathered over to comfort Zhao Huasheng. They told Zhao Huasheng that the death of the Freya family was not his fault, but because of the sudden change in the weather and the fact that the Freya family was not prepared... But only Meng Zhuo Yiren knew that Zhao Huasheng didn't mean that.

Zhao Huasheng hated himself.

"If I could solve the puzzle left by Director Li Qi earlier and let the sun warm up again, it wouldn't be so cold here, and there wouldn't be such bad weather, and the Freya family wouldn't die."

Zhao Huasheng also hated Li Qi.

"Li Qi, why did you choose me? Why did you choose me? I'm not smart, logical thinking ability, professional knowledge is not top-notch, why did you choose me to take this responsibility? Why don't you choose a person with extraordinary wisdom to do this What? Have you ever thought that by doing this, many people will die in vain, and they could have been immortal!"

Zhao Huasheng seemed to hold a breath in his chest, but he couldn't let it out.

At this moment, Meng Zhuo's cold voice reached Zhao Huasheng's ears: "Zhao Huasheng, if you don't want more people to die tragically, cheer me up and don't make me look down on you."

"Of course you can cry and collapse, but after you collapse, who should be responsible for your shoulders? This is a puzzle that only you can solve, and no one but you. Even if you want to Collapse, you have to solve the puzzle! Zhao Huasheng, if you are still a man, stand up for me!"

Today will be three more...

It's a new week, and it's time to hit the new book list on the homepage. If you still have a recommendation ticket in hand, if you haven't collected this book yet, please collect it, and please vote for this book! !

To be honest, Rainbow is very sad now. During this week, Rainbow has been recommended on the first website, and the sci-fi category is highly recommended. There are ten books on this recommendation at the same time as Rainbow. At 12 midnight on Sunday, Rainbow counted these ten books. Book collection growth, the conclusion is...Earth Era's collection growth ranks third from the bottom. And...the increase in collections is the most important indicator of a book's performance.

Rainbow was a little puzzled. Was it badly written in the era of Earth? Or did the book not pique everyone's interest? Or is this book a step back from the super battleship that everyone is too lazy to read it? Rainbow doesn't know what the reason is. Rainbow only knows that this earth era has exhausted all of Rainbow's efforts. In order to conceive this book, Rainbow has not slept well for half a month, and Rainbow has been stuck at home for seven days...

Perhaps, my style of writing and ideas are really not suitable for this website? I have no idea. UU reading www.uukanshu.com I am a little lost now. The book The Age of Earth has poured all my heart and all my hope into it. If this book fails again, then Rainbow really doesn't know what to do with it.

But Rainbow hasn't conceded yet. Rainbow still believes that it is my dear readers who forgot to collect and vote for this book because of being lazy or neglected. Yes, it must be so. Rainbow thinks that the book Earth Age is the best book that Rainbow has written, and it shouldn't be as good as it is now.

Maybe the current plot makes everyone feel a little cruel, but... don't you think that in the end of the world, all kinds of tragic and sad things should be staged in turn?

Rainbow does not write those sci-fi articles that pursue refreshing. Since the super battleship, Rainbow has continued the style of hard science fiction, and Rainbow believes that in these aspects, at least in Qidian.com, it has done the best. If this is still not recognized by everyone... then it can only be said that the rainbow is not suitable for this website.

But Rainbow doesn't want to believe this. Rainbow believes that everyone will like this book. So...for the future of the rainbow, for the future of Qidian.com's hard science fiction, please everyone...If you don't have a collection of this book, please collect it! If you have a recommendation ticket in hand, please vote for Earth Era! This is very important for this book, very very important! It is even related to whether Rainbow can write this book with peace of mind! ! ! So, really please everyone, really please everyone!

This chapter is the first chapter of today. Today, the rainbow will be in the third watch. Please support me! !
