From doomsday survival to fast-forward daily life

As soon as Tian Yu stretched out his hand from the quilt, he was startled by the cold.

This is the tenth day of the temperature drop and the third day of the heavy snow. The temperature in Linhai has reached an astonishing minus 40 degrees Celsius.

The snow never stopped during these three days. Xiaowu Ge, who was live streaming when the blizzard came, could not escape the blizzard and was slowly covered along with his mobile phone. This live streaming accident also cast a shadow on the hearts of netizens who were at home hoping for the temperature to rise.

For Tian Yu, one of the most serious impacts of the snowfall was that her family had no water.

When the copy was opened, Tian Yu filled the water tank with water in advance in order to ensure water supply. In fact, this was imitating the practice in the north of China, where water is pumped into water towers to ensure water supply when the temperature is extremely low in winter.

The water pipes were frozen and cracked, and the water tank had a capacity of only two tons, which was far from enough to ensure long-term use.

Tian Yu wrapped himself in three layers of wrapping before he mustered up the courage to get out of the tent.

As the temperature drops, the south is having a harder time than the north, because the hydropower response capacity is far less targeted than when it was built in the north, and the temperature difference between the north and the south is now almost the same.

Tian Yu stood up bloatedly and slowly moved more food to the vicinity of the tent. Then he went into the tent opposite his sleeping tent and started banging on the bottled water inside.

In the past few days, she has been piling up food in places where it is most easily accessible, and from today on, the power supply in her area will be affected.

The authorities issued a notice last night that due to insufficient energy supply and emergency repairs blocked due to the snowstorm, power supply will be implemented in batches and time periods, which caused a lot of complaints online.

When the electricity supply is insufficient, more people will not be able to survive. Even though Tian Yu knows this, she can do nothing about it. The suburb where she lives is remote and not a priority area for electricity supply. All her electrical facilities have been shut down since last night. She can still rely on warm clothes, quilts and hot packs to get through the night.

All the stored drinking water was frozen into ice lumps. Now she could only use tools to break the ice and slowly boil water on the gas stove to drink.

After drinking two energy bars mixed with hot water, her blocked nasal cavity became clearer.

"Just think of yourself as an Eskimo." She could only console herself by finding the best way to make the best of a bad situation.

Even she, who had made some preparations, was still in such a situation. I'm afraid that the lives of more people would be even more difficult, right?

Tian Yu didn't dare to think about it.

Human beings' natural empathy always makes them feel a little bitter when facing suffering, not to mention Tian Yu, who graduated from a police academy. After the snow began to fall, she no longer dared to look at the help information on the Internet. Her worries about her situation and her powerlessness towards others made her mood begin to fall.

Flames leapt from the gas stove. Tian Yu tore open the packaging of the self-heating food and dumped all the food inside into the small pot.

Because there is no room temperature water, self-heating food can only rely on real fire source to heat at this time. Tian Yu will collect the useless self-heating bags to avoid any use in the future.

In extremely cold environments, humans' demand for food is also increasing day by day. In the past few days, Tian Yu has always felt hungry. In order to maintain her physical strength, she would pick high-calorie food and stuff it into her mouth every day.

Thinking about where she lives now, Tian Yu recalls her childhood, when her mother had just passed away. She always liked to build a small house with a quilt as her own "cave", and Old Tian let her do as she pleased and would only knock on her "door" when it was time to eat.

Now Tian Yu felt like he was also living in a cave.

The two tents were covered with thermal insulation "camouflage" and were filled with things. One side was a place for hibernation, and the other side was a place for storing food.

In the pitch-black polar night, Tian Yu lived quietly in a cave waiting for the arrival of spring.

The twentieth day of cooling.

Tian Yu no longer had any idea what the outside world looked like. Her electronic devices had long been frozen and shut down. From a brief phone call the day before they shut down, she only knew that the temperature outside had reached minus sixty degrees Celsius.

Her daily routine is to think about what to eat, and food is the only thing that can bring comfort on days like this.

After trying various boiled canned foods, boiled freeze-dried foods, and boiled chocolate, Tian Yu felt that he would never want to drink porridge again for a long time after the disaster.

Today they had canned braised beef. Tian Yu waited numbly as the ice cubes slowly melted on the gas stove.

During this time, she carried the empty bucket of water she had just emptied, and prepared herself mentally before she walked out of the tent and moved towards the bathroom in her room.

Going to the toilet is one of the most painful things these days.

While eating, she suddenly missed Li Xin. Being without the Internet for many days was like being isolated on an island for modern people. Tian Yu couldn't help feeling lonely. Although Li Xin posed a great threat to her, at least she didn't become numb from monitoring him for days.

After thinking it over, Tian Yusi felt that there was something wrong with her mentality.

The twenty-fifth day of cooling.

Now Tian Yu only knows how to eat, go to the toilet and stay in bed in a daze every day. She seems to have given up on herself. Deep down, she has no motivation to do anything else. Sometimes she thinks it would be nice to just freeze to death quietly in her sleep.

A few days ago, she would still calculate the time and wonder how much time had passed. After a long time, she couldn't concentrate on it. Now, as long as she didn't feel hungry, it didn't make much difference to her.

She didn't really want to go to the bathroom, and would only get up reluctantly when she couldn't hold it any longer.

Tian Yu has confirmed that he is ill, and his illness is in his heart.

Hiding in the tent, she used a flashlight to illuminate the Sudoku book that had been lying around but never opened.

This was bought by Old Tian and placed in his new home. He said he would keep it to pass the time after retirement to prevent himself from suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Tian Yu took it down from the bookshelf in Old Tian's room when he was cleaning the house many days ago.

After living a beast-like life for many days, Tian Yu finally decided to use it to pass the time.

What she didn't expect was that the first few pages were already filled.

Tian Yu looked at the pencil scratches on the paper and could imagine how Old Tian was thinking while doing Sudoku.

She reached out her hand to touch the marks, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

The traces left by Old Tian miraculously connected time and space at this moment, causing ripples in Tian Yu's dead and powerless heart.

Turning the page, she saw a diary that Lao Tian had inserted into the Sudoku book.

"June 1, sunny

Today is Children's Day. When Xiaotian was little, she loved this day very much. Now that she has grown up, I still think she is like a child, so I decided to take her out to eat at McDonald's, and she gladly agreed.

As my daughter grows up, I gradually feel that time is unforgiving. I am writing this Sudoku book I just bought at work, and I only hope that I can be sober and spend more time with her.

As I am approaching retirement, I am a little worried about my own aging, but fortunately Xiaotian will be by my side. Sometimes I think that even if she doesn't want to get married and start a family, I can support her. The savings are sufficient, and the decoration of the new house is almost finished, so she should be able to spend the rest of her life safely.

I just don’t know if this strange phenomenon on me can be stopped, and whether the so-called points can bring her anything.”

The word "points" pulled Tian Yu's thoughts, which were in tears at the moment, into a vortex of horror.
