Zhang Yi took some food and gave it to Zhou Haimei.
When she saw the food, her eyes lit up. After thanking Zhang Yi with the last bit of restraint, she sat on the sofa and ate hungrily.
After she finished eating, Zhang Yi said to her, "You understand everything, right?"
Zhou Haimei nodded. "I know. You found a home for me, right?"
A woman in her forties can view things more fairly.
Perhaps people of their age don't value so-called love that much.
Marriage and living together emphasize being well-matched.
As long as the conditions are met, they can be together.
So when Yang Mi told her that she could find a long-term meal ticket for her, she agreed without hesitation.
The only regret is that - she originally thought that man was Zhang Yi!
With Yang Mi's preparation, Zhang Yi saved a lot of trouble.
Before leaving, he solemnly reminded the two women that the matter of the safe house and the shelter must be kept secret!
Absolutely don't tell people outside in any way.
Otherwise, it is very likely to attract greedy people to come and snatch.
"If I find out who leaked the information here, then she doesn't need to live."
When Zhang Yi said this, his tone was flat and indifferent, but there was pure killing intent in his eyes.
The two women were extremely frightened and quickly said that they would not do stupid things.
Zhang Yi nodded and didn't say anything more.
These two women were not young. Those who struggled in the entertainment industry were not stupid and sweet. They wouldn't do such stupid things.
He gave these instructions just in case.
After explaining, he asked Yang Mi to go back to the room. Then he took Zhou Haimei and prepared to return to Yuelu Community.
...
The cold wind howled. The icy north wind carried snow and blew across the surface of Lujiang River.
Compared to when the snow disaster just arrived, the snowfall now has become much smaller.
After all, under the extremely cold temperature, there are not so many water molecules in the air that can condense into ice.
But this low temperature still persists, and the cold wind is as biting as usual.
Adjacent to Yunque Manor across the river is a small town called Xujia Town.
Across the river is the villa area where the richest people in Tianhai City live. On the other side is a suburban rural area.
In the past, people in Xujia Town made a living by growing grains and vegetables.
Every family built greenhouses and grew grains and vegetables, and then sold them to the urban area of Tianhai City.
For many years, although they were not as rich as people in the urban area, their lives were still quite good.
After the extremely cold storm came, their lives were much more comfortable than those of city people.
Although they also had to face the cold low temperature, they would not lack food in this regard.
And in terms of physical fitness, they were even stronger than city people.
When a snowstorm came, they were still relatively comfortable. This was a bit ironic.
At noon, which is also the time when the temperature is the highest every day.
The outside temperature rose back to minus sixty degrees, and the wind and snow also became a little smaller.
On the Lujiang River, a group of villagers from Xudong Village in Xujia Town who were tightly wrapped up appeared.
They came to the ice surface, all holding various tools in their hands.
In addition, five or six dogs were brought along. They were all sled dogs like Alaskan Malamutes and Huskies.
But under the low temperature, the dogs were all wrapped in cotton-padded clothes.
The people in Xudong Village cherished these dogs very much. They treated them even more attentively than themselves.
Because now in the south, only they can still be used as animal power.
However, at this time, these sled dogs were different from the silly appearance they usually saw.
Their eyes were full of fierce hostility. Their mouths showed sharp teeth, and their fur was also stained with blood.
Led by a dark-faced man in his fifties, a group of people came to the ice surface.
The dark-faced man walked back and forth on the ice surface for several times. Sometimes he lay down and looked deep into the ice layer.
After a while, he knocked on a certain place with the stick in his hand.
"Here. Start digging!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen people following behind immediately came up. There were several large ice-breaking devices on the sledge behind.
Everyone lifted down the equipment, placed it in the designated position, and then tied it to the dogs with ropes.
"Run, run!"
The person who raised the dog firmly held the dog with a rope and shouted twice. Several dogs began to run forward.
At the same time, they drove the ice breaker to break through the ice layer.
With the animal power of the dogs, the ice-breaking efficiency was very fast. Soon a huge round hole was dug on the ice surface.
"Okay, okay! We caught fish!"
The leading dark-faced man waved his hand. The person who raised the dog quickly held the dog back.
Everyone worked together to lift out the ice breaker. In the broken ice layer below, one could see more than a dozen fish. All of them were stuck in the ice layer in the state of being frozen to death.
After being frozen, the oxygen concentration in the river became lower. The fish swam upward to obtain oxygen.
Although they still didn't find a breathing hole in the end, they died near the ice surface.
This provided good food for the fishermen in this generation of Xujia Town.
As long as the ice layer was broken, frozen fish could be dug out from the ice layer.
This has become their main source of protein.
A group of people were busy as usual. The person in charge was Xu Dahai from Xudong Village, Xujia Town.
In the past, he was just a fisherman and had an ordinary status in the village.
But after the apocalypse came, he became an important figure in Xudong Village with his fishing skills.
For example, when he came out to fish now, he only was responsible for designating the place. As for the physical work, others were responsible for doing it.
A villager named Xu Manjin who raised dogs came over and chatted with Xu Dahai.
"Second Uncle, you said that it's so cold. Are all the people in the city frozen to death?"
Xu Dahai put his hands in his pockets. Hearing this, he sneered disdainfully.
"These city people don't even know how to grow crops on weekdays. They are all supported by us farmers."
"Now it's probably difficult for them to even have a full meal. I think most of them are already dead."
Xu Manjin nodded and said with relief, "Fortunately, we are rural people. No matter how bad the weather is, as long as we have food at home and strength in our hands, we are not afraid of not being able to survive!"
"It's just that this weather is too chilling. When will it pass?"
Xu Manjin looked at the luxurious villa area on the other side of the river. There was a hint of proud contempt in his eyes, but at the same time, there was also some confusion about the future.
It was true that they could survive. But this kind of life was obviously not what they wanted.
Xu Dahai frowned slightly. His eyes narrowed slightly in the wind and snow.
"It's hard to say! But in this weather, we can live. As long as we are willing to work, we are not afraid of starving to death!"
"When I was in Mohe back then, the temperature was not much higher than here. At that time, we were still swimming shirtless!"
Several people chatted casually.
In the past, they always liked to gather together and discuss international affairs. When talking, they must mention Europe and America. In their gestures, they belittled other countries to nothing.
But now without news sources and no mood to care about foreign affairs, they could only talk about how miserable the city people were.
Suddenly, there was a sound of an engine.
It came from the other side of the river.
Although the sound was not very loud, in this silent ice and snow world, it was extremely obvious.
Xu Manjin was stunned. "Why do I seem to hear the sound of a motorcycle?"
Xu Dahai pricked up his ears and listened carefully. Immediately, his face was full of surprise.
There was no mistake!
This sound was very similar to the fishing boat he drove when fishing.ǒΜ
"It's already this time. How can there still be a vehicle? Aren't all the city people frozen to death?"
A group of people put down the work in their hands and looked in the direction where the sound of the engine came.
