Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum

Chapter 219: Extreme Cold Doomsday: Cold Wave Returns

Jiang Jiang took off his outermost coat which was wet with snow and shook off the water.

"This place is much warmer than the factory basement, and it's also spacious, so we don't have to worry about not having enough space to live here."

"That being said..." Zhang Qiang habitually wanted to leave some room, but most of the people who followed him were young people. They didn't have so many concerns and observed their surroundings one by one.

Some people who know a little about military affairs have also discovered that this may be an abandoned military base.

This kind of place is a perfect refuge for them.

Moisture-proof, humidity-proof and radiation-proof, all the necessary considerations had been taken by those who were preparing to build the base.

"Secretary, I think Jiang Jiang is right. This place is much better than the factory basement. I estimate that it is dozens of meters deep. It is absolutely safe."

Originally, Zhang Qiang just wanted to come and take a look, but after one look, he decided to move the entire village here without thinking.

In order to ensure that the elderly and children in the village can arrive here safely, everyone in the basement of the charcoal factory started a vigorous project to transform items.

Bathtubs from every household were collected and renovated.

Since there is no water heater, every household in Qingshan Village takes a bath in a large bathtub. Jiang Jiang can sit in a small bathtub even if she bends over, and a larger one can accommodate two or three people.

They dug a hole in the bathtub, passed a strong and durable hemp rope through the hole and tied a knot, making it easier for a strong person to drag the bathtub and the person sitting in the bathtub while walking in the snow.

"Grandma Wang, don't worry, just wrap yourself tightly in the quilt and sit inside."

Before leaving, Jiang Jiang sat next to Grandma Wang and comforted her softly.

A smile appeared on Wang Chunping's wrinkled face, and she gently placed her dry palm on Jiang Jiang's hand.

"My child, I am already over 80 years old and have lived enough. There is no need to worry about anything. It is really hard for you."

Grandma Wang felt full of regret. If it weren't for these old guys, she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

"It's not hard. Everyone in our village has to be well."

"All right, all right, everyone is fine."

As soon as they finished speaking, the first group of people were ready to set off.

Considering that everyone’s physical strength would decrease as time went on, after discussion, they decided to send the elderly in the village first and then the children last.

The younger people followed slowly behind the main group.

Jiang Jiang walked in front with a snowball stick in her hand, and she was responsible for leading the way.

Two young men were responsible for pulling a bathtub. In the bathtub sat elderly people huddled together. They were wrapped in thick quilts with a layer of cotton wool underneath to prevent them from freezing.

It was so cold outside that snowflakes fell on the quilt, and soon the quilt became cold and hard.

The hot water bottles that Jiang Jiang prepared for them before they set off were so hot that they were scalding when held in the hands, but they turned ice cold in less than ten minutes.

"Hold on! We're already halfway there!"

Jiang Jiang walked in front and shouted loudly.

These words seemed to inject some energy into everyone, and they moved faster.

"Grandma Wang, are you okay?"

Jiang Jiang came to Grandma Wang's position and whispered to a quilt.

A weak voice came from inside.

"I'm okay."

"Come and take some medicine."

Jiang Jiang took out a thermos from his arms and poured her a cup of steaming Chinese medicine.

A hand wearing a black leather glove reached out from under the quilt and took the cup.

Two seconds later, the hand stretched out from the quilt again and returned the empty cup to Jiang Jiang.

"Granny Wang, hold on, we'll be there soon."

After saying a few words of comfort, Jiang Jiang said to Zhang Yang who was holding Wang Chunping's hand, "Thank you for your hard work."

The latter didn't have the energy to speak, so he just waved his hand.

It is difficult to walk in the snow by yourself, let alone dragging someone with you.

Even though Grandma Wang is not heavy, a living person plus a heavy quilt must weigh at least 100 pounds.

Holding a thermos cup, Jiang Jiang poured a cup of water for all the elderly people who were going out today to warm them up.

Her preparations did not stop there. After making sure all the elderly people had drunk the Chinese medicine, Jiang Jiang took out a larger thermos cup from her backpack, which was filled with a sweet calorie bomb, hot cocoa.

Under normal circumstances, a cup of hot cocoa might be too sweet and greasy, but now it is just right.

A cup of hot cocoa in the snow is enough to keep people going for a while.

With this momentum, everyone reached their destination despite the strong wind.

The fire started, the stove was lit, and the temperature in the basement slowly rose.

"Come on, everyone take a sip."

Once they reached the basement, everyone collapsed to the floor.

It was such a tiring journey. I was cold, hungry and tired.

Jiang Jiang cheered up and gave everyone a cup of hot cocoa.

"Jiang Jiang, how much stuff did you carry?"

After taking two sips, Zhang Yang came to his senses and was in the mood to ask Jiang Jiang questions.

"This is the only thermos I have. Drink yours."

Jiang Jiang cursed with a smile.

She just looked around and everyone seemed to be in good condition.

This shows that their approach is feasible!

After resting for several hours, Jiang Jiang and a dozen other young people had to return to the charcoal factory.

"Grandma Wang, you guys will sleep here tonight. Bring some quilts, stoves, and food over. We'll come back tomorrow."

The temperature here is higher than that in the basement of the charcoal factory, so several elderly people who usually have to stay in bed can now move around a little.

"You guys should go back early while it's still light. We can do the rest. Don't worry."

They are just old, not useless or stupid.

The journey back was much easier than the journey here, as they only had to drag the empty bathtub.

The only trouble was that the bathtub was empty when they first came back, but by the time they got to the charcoal factory, it was half full of snow.

"how is it going?"

The branch secretary had been waiting for them at the charcoal factory for a long time with his neck shrunk.

"Everything is fine."

The branch secretary patted the arms of several people around him and finally smiled.

"That's fine, that's fine."

"We will send the children from the village over tomorrow, and we can take our time with the rest of the food and daily necessities."

It took a whole week for everyone to finally move all the people and most of the supplies to an abandoned base two kilometers away.

In fact, the progress is much faster than they imagined.

In the first two days, they brought the elderly and children over, and in the remaining five days, they were struggling to carry various supplies.

For food and heating.

Heavy and difficult to carry.

Looking at the charcoal piled up like a small mountain in the basement, the branch secretary couldn't believe that they had to transport it here time and time again by manpower.

Jiang Jiang: Actually, it is not all done by manpower...

"I can finally feel at ease now."

There was a fire burning in the center of the basement, with stoves in each household next to it.

Jiang Jiang lay in the bed which was obviously warmer than before. He pounded his back and legs which were sore from the hard work, and muttered to himself.

Before long, she was so tired that she fell asleep.

Outside, strong winds were blowing and murderous intent was approaching.
