Chapter 112: Chapter 112 Everything Froze

The next day, early in the morning, Jhiang Yuan knocked on the door of room 2002, carrying an electric blanket.

"Sister Yuan, you’re up so early?"

Zhang Kaiyang, with his bird’s-nest hairstyle, had not had a haircut for a long time, turning from a lively young man into a scruffy uncle.

Ye Mianmian was cooking porridge, and hearing the noise, she came over as well.

They were now eating together, and as Zhang Kaiyang was on his own, he couldn’t eat much, which also saved some liquefied gas.

"Mianmian, I have a spare electric blanket at home.

I thought of Grandma Ye, being old, I’d give it to her to use," she said.

She had bought a generator, so Jhiang Yuan wasn’t worried.

Ye Mianmian was very touched, looking at her, not knowing what to say, tears brimming in her eyes.

"Sister Yuan, thank you, I was worried indeed. With this, Grandma will be much more comfortable."

"Alright then, please don’t cry, it’s so cold, be careful not to freeze your face."

Ye Mianmian, who cherished her face greatly, immediately covered it.

She hurried back home, and unexpectedly saw Song Yi in the doorway.

He was standing in front of the door, seemingly lost in thought.

"What’s the matter? Are you going down?" asked Jhiang Yuan, puzzled, as she casually opened the door to enter.

"No, I was waiting for you," he said.

Ah, she was slightly surprised.

"Is something the matter?"

Song Yi was silent for five seconds, then spoke slowly, "The temperature these past few days isn’t normal. Keep the intercom switched on."

"Alright, I understand."

There was no need to be so serious, it left her somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that everyone was not vigilant last night and he got angry?

That would be rather oversensitive.

"Jhiang Yuan."

"Yes?"

"Look outside, everything has frozen over."

What?

Her heart raced suddenly, as a deep fear spread within her.

Outside the window, after the rain, the sky wasn’t clear but overcast, giving a depressing feeling.

The gray, cloudy sky covered the still unclear waters below.

Jhiang Yuan, being shortsighted without high-powered binoculars, couldn’t directly see what was happening below.

"Frozen over?"

She hadn’t noticed when she got up in the morning.

"Frozen over. After tonight, it will become solidified."

What does that mean? Is it still temporary?

But, thinking about it, it made sense, now that the seventh floor was already half-submerged.

If it was all to freeze, indeed, it would take some time.

When she was a child, back in her hometown,

during the winter, the river surface would also freeze, but not the underwater.

In some places, you could even clearly see the flowing river water beneath the ice.

Back then, during the agricultural downtime in winter, people would break an ice hole and start fishing.

Thinking back, it’s actually a fond memory.

The daytime temperatures are higher than at night, but also around minus twelve or thirteen degrees Celsius.

"Do you mean the temperature is going to drop tonight?"

"Yes, it definitely will."

Her heart soared to her throat; if it got any colder, it would be terrifying.

Many people would probably freeze to death.

She returned home with a heavy heart, not because she was worried about others.

But because under the extreme cold, she was concerned about what her family should do.

Qin Yue brought the electric heater to the living room, and upon entering, it was still quite warm.

This was with full gear on, and she guessed she might need to turn on another later.

She didn’t know whether the air conditioner would work.

"Honey, come here, mom has made sour soup dumplings. I’ll get you a bowl.

Eat up to warm up your body."

Jhiang Yuan followed her mother into the kitchen and indeed, frost had formed in the corner of the wall.

It seemed as if the freezing was a sign all its own.

"Now, it’s too cold," she continued, "remember to keep the lid on or the food will get cold quickly."

Her mother kept talking, while Jhiang Yuan, worried inside, dared not show it.

After eating, nobody went out to exercise today; she turned on the treadmill and let her family all run for a while.

The temperature inside was still okay, and with thick clothes on, it was passable.

Outside, however, it was a completely different scene.

There was only a moment of exclamations; her house was soundproof, so she didn’t hear clearly.

Instead, it was Kaiyang who came over in the afternoon when he was free and talked about it.

Xiao Nuan went to take a nap, joining Qin Yue because it was too cold, and she didn’t dare let her daughter be alone.

The living room of apartment 2102 seemed like it was hosting a tea party.

Ye Mianmian considerately prepared ginger cola, which not only dispels cold but also tastes good. She decided she would also make a pot when she got back home.

"There were either three or four of them, one went down and seemed okay at first.

But the ice was treacherous, and within a few steps, he fell through."

Kaiyang talked about the downstairs incident, also with a sigh.

"Gosh, that’s the height of six or seven floors, if he sank to the bottom, that would be the end."

Jhiang Yuan sighed too. Facing such events, humans really seem as insignificant as ants.

"Yes, those few companions couldn’t do anything to help, probably didn’t even have time to react, such a pity."

Ye Mianmian clucked her tongue twice, her thick hesitation apparent as she downed two large glasses of ginger cola.

"Those who went out yesterday probably all got stuff, should we think about going out again?"

This too, was the purpose of the meeting, to come to a decision.

"We have enough food at home for a while, but the liquefied gas cylinders won’t last, I’m thinking about going to that liquefied gas station on the mountain."

Ye Mianmian shared her thoughts, while Jhiang Yuan admired her use of inversion in her sentence.

Well said, she’ll teach it to Xiao Nuan next time.

"Okay, resources like these are indeed good to stock up on.

What do you think, Jhiang Yuan?"

Caught off guard by the direct question, she quickly gathered her thoughts.

Liquefied gas and such didn’t matter to her, all she wanted was money.

"I have no objections, but how do we get out now? To go up the mountain, we don’t have transportation.

Liquefied gas cylinders aren’t small, so we need to plan ahead."

Who could argue with that, but that was the situation indeed.

Three of them fell silent, only Song Yi spoke indifferently.

"Plan ahead, as soon as we can go out, we’ll go right away."

Jhiang Yuan remembered something he had said that morning.

Could it really solidify tonight?

If he was so confident, what was the reason?

The tea party for four lasted until five o’clock, after which Ye Mianmian went home to cook for Grandma Ye and everyone dispersed.

Jhiang Yuan had things on her mind and didn’t do much, just went to bed when it was time.

She even set an alarm for herself, and the first thing she did upon waking up early the next day was to check the situation outside.

Damn, beautiful ice patterns had formed on the windows, and outside was draped in a silvery veil.

Though it hadn’t snowed, the vast skies were emitting an unusual grayish white.

The glass on the building opposite was the same, and she looked through high-powered binoculars, all frosted over.

It seemed Song Yi was right, underneath was probably better than yesterday’s situation.

The whole world had frozen over.
