Chapter 141: Collecting Snow
Chapter 141: Collecting Snow
It was difficult to find a bicycle after the flood, so Long Yu agreed with Quan Yuanwei's request. He nodded and said, "Alright. Tell him to make those items as soon as possible."
After reaching an agreement, Long Yu took out five kilograms of broken rice and gave it to Shi Xuan, who in turn gave it to Quan Yuanwei as a downpayment.
When they were busy increasing the defense of the 20th floor, Yao Ran, who had just finished her daily training, went to the space to take a shower.
When she came out of the bathroom in the villa, she glanced at the timer floating in the living room. After saving for almost five months, she finally saved more than fifty-eight days to stay
in space.
After checking the remaining time in the space, Yao Ran left and went to sleep. The weather is freezing, and people will feel sleepy in such weather. It didn't take long before she fell asleep.
Yao Ran rarely had a peaceful sleep without nightmares and woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. After waking up, she went to the space to wash up.
Five minutes later, she returned to her bedroom and cooked another bowl of medicine for Long Yu. After drinking this bowl of medicine, the coldness that invaded his body would disappear, and he would be fine.
While Yao Ran was boiling the medicine over low heat, she heated a small pot of wonton soup and two fried dough sticks for breakfast.
While she was having breakfast, Deng Qiqi came over carrying a plastic bag containing a dozen scallion pancakes.
She knocked on the door and called Yao Ran, "Elder Sister Yao Ran, are you awake?"
Yao Ran heard her calls and walked over to open the door.
Seeing that she was wrapped like a dumpling, Deng Qiqi smiled, handed her the plastic bag, and said, "Elder Sister Yao Ran, we made a lot of scallion pancakes with the scallions you gave us. I brought some for you to try."
Yao Ran thanked her, took the scallion pancakes, and Deng Qiqi said, "Elder Sister Yao Ran, Elder Brother Xuan said he has something to discuss with us and asked you to come to our place."
Thinking that he might have something to say about Lu Hong's matter, Yao Ran nodded, "Alright. I will be there in a minute."
After Deng Qiqi left, Yao Ran stored the scallion pancakes in the space's warehouse and quickly finished her breakfast. After eating, the medicine was ready. She poured it into a thermos bottle and left the apartment.
Seeing that the door of unit 2001 was open, Yao Ran walked in directly and saw that everyone had already arrived. Two coal stoves were lit up in the living room for heating, so Yao Ran left a little gap in the door for ventilation.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing Long Yu sitting there, Yao Ran walked up to him, handed him the thermos bottle, and said, "Long Yu, this is your medicine. After drinking it, the cold in your body will disappear."
Long Yu took the thermos bottle and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Yao Ran."
After saying that, he made room for Yao Ran to sit on the couch, but she walked to another couch. Seeing this, Long Yu tightened his grip on the thermos bottle and lowered his eyes in disappointment.
When she sat down next to Jia Xiang, Long Yu raised his eyes to look at her and said nothing. No one noticed the slight change in his expression except for Shi Xuan.
After everyone arrived, Shi Xuan looked at them and said, "The water towers are frozen. We need to find a way to get water for our daily use and drinking water."
Huang Zhihui scratched her head and pouted, "I didn't take a shower yesterday, and my scalp is itchy today."
Jia Xiang raised her hand and said, "Me too. It's really uncomfortable not being able to take a shower."
Deng Qiqi didn't speak and just nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Seeing their painful expressions, Yao Ran fell into silence. She bathes at least twice a day inside her space, forgetting that not everyone has the water elemental ability like her, which can produce large amounts of water every day, or a space that could produce infinite water.
Seeing that Yao Ran didn't speak, they looked at Long Yu and waited for him to speak. Under normal circumstances, when Yao Ran had no solution, their capable captain would come up with one.
Being stared at by them, Long Yu thought for a while and said calmly, "It has been snowing heavily since yesterday. We can collect the snow, melt it, filter the water, and then use it for washing and bathing."
"For drinking water, drinking filtered water is risky because we don't know what kind of bacteria, parasites, or dirt is mixed in the snow. We'd better go out and find bottled water to drink."
After hearing what he said, Huang Qian's eyes lit up, and he said, "Captain, this is a great idea!"
Shi Xuan nodded in agreement and said, "The snow outside is already very thick. The snow on the rooftop should be enough for us to take a shower today."
Huang Qian stood up and quickly went to the bathroom to get a bucket. After coming back, he looked at his friends and asked, "What are you guys waiting for? Let's go collect the snow."
With Huang Qian taking the lead, the other six people also got buckets and went to the rooftop to collect snow.
When Yao Ran arrived at the rooftop, Huang Qian and others were already busy collecting snow. In less than two days, the snow on the roof had already accumulated to a depth of twenty centimeters.
Yao Ran looked at the rooftop covered with thick snow and had a bad premonition in her heart. The snow was accumulating faster than she expected, and it wouldn't be long before their building was buried in it.
