    In an abandoned community, Li Tou and his team were collecting supplies in a residential building.

    "Li Tou, there is an outdoor air conditioner unit that is not burned out!" A SWAT team member discovered an outdoor air conditioner unit that was not burned out and hurriedly informed Li Tou.

    "Where is it? Take it apart and take it away!" Li Tou heard the report from his men and looked at it quickly, not forgetting to give instructions.

    The previous blizzard had a very serious impact. In addition to the snow, the strong wind also damaged a lot of things, and even some buildings collapsed due to it, which was comparable to the passage of a typhoon.

    After losing the decelerating effect of surface vegetation on wind force, the harm caused by strong winds is also rising linearly.

    Some buildings in the city that were burned due to previous fires have collapsed in the snowstorm. Although the remaining buildings are still standing, they are also seriously damaged.

    Things such as air conditioners and windows were basically blown away, and the remaining items in many houses were literally swept away, which caused great obstacles for Li Tou and the others to collect supplies.

    Fortunately, they came to a community with relatively good construction quality this time. Most of the buildings were not seriously damaged, but the windows were blown away.

    But even so, the search is still difficult.

    Most of the outdoor units of air conditioners have been damaged, and the outdoor units of air conditioners are installed on the exterior walls of buildings. Even if there are some that are not damaged, it is troublesome to remove them.

    ¡° In addition, it is now freezing cold and the snow on the ground can bury people. Li Tou and the others have been here all morning and only found a few complete air conditioner outdoor units.

    Although the snowstorm has stopped, the temperature has not risen significantly. The temperature of minus 20 degrees can cause ice to form on the mask even if you just breathe.

    In such an environment, these SWAT team members have to climb to the outer wall of the building to remove the air conditioner. This is indeed not a ridiculous thing, and the low efficiency is also something that cannot be solved.

    "Li Tou, this search is too inefficient. How about we dismantle the ones that are not too badly broken? There are some useful things in them." A SWAT team member suggested beside Li Tou.

    Faced with the SWAT team member¡¯s suggestion, Li Tou just frowned and thought for a moment before asking, ¡°How many have been dismantled?¡±

    "There are eight units in total, three are in good condition, four are damaged but still usable, and one has lost its casing but everything is still there." Another SWAT team member had been counting their harvest. At this time, Li Tou asked a lot of questions.  The answer was quickly given.

    After getting the answer, Li Tou couldn't help but secretly grit his teeth and felt troubled.

    Although the harvest from Batai is not small, the political commissar specifically told him to look for more before he came. Only then can Batai not be considered as having completed the task in any case.

    After thinking about it for a while, Li Tou hesitated, but still said to the SWAT team members beside him: "In the afternoon, let the brothers remove all the broken ones that are not serious. This little thing is not enough to go back and report."

    "Yes, Li Tou!" The SWAT team member responded, conveying Li Tou's instructions through the radio.

    Seeing how busy his team members were, Li Tou himself turned on the radio and said: "After dismantling this radio, let's eat first. When we are full, we will try to find more in the afternoon."

    When they heard that it was time to eat, the team members couldn't help but cheer up and speed up their movements, obviously wanting to start eating early.

    Perhaps because of the temptation of lunch, everyone moved a little faster. The external unit that was still intact was quickly dismantled, and the SWAT team members also returned to the police car that drove in, preparing to  Have a meal.

    "Li Tou, why are we looking for these used air conditioners? We don't want to repair them and use them to heat the shelter, right?" A SWAT team member took a piece of self-heating food and added water to heat it up.  While pouring his lunch in his hands to warm his hands, he asked Li Tou about their purpose of collecting outdoor air conditioners.

    "Let me tell you, burning the boiler is the most reliable. If the air conditioner goes out of power one day, won't everyone still have to freeze?" Another SWAT team member put the self-heating food that had begun to steam on his knees to cover it.  Putting his knees up, he also chimed in: "But this day is really evil. Our city has not snowed in winter for more than ten years. It has only snowed a little more in the past two years."

    "I thought it was before? The sun is gone, what's wrong with some snow?" Li Tou, like his team members, was holding a bag of self-heating food and waiting for the rice to be cooked. Hearing their discussion, he couldn't help but say something.  .

    ¡°Hey, I don¡¯t know when this day will end.¡± The SWAT team member was pouring self-heating food.At this time, my mood suddenly became a little depressed.

    Nearly half a year has passed since the meteorite struck. However, in the past half year, everyone's life has been getting worse and worse. Living this kind of life with no hope and future at all, who can not be depressed?

    Hearing the frustrated words of the SWAT team member, Qin Lan took her lunch and somehow remembered what Chen Xin had said to her before the end.

    "The impact of the meteorite is just the beginning. Dust will cover the entire sky. The absence of sunlight for hundreds of years will not only freeze the earth, but also cause ecological extinction. Perhaps some of the dust in the sky will fall in one to three years after the impact.  , letting a little light shine through the sky, but it will take at least a hundred years to return to the way it was before the disaster."

    Unknowingly, Qin Lan recited Chen Xin's words.

    "A hundred years? Doesn't it mean that we will never be able to see the sun in this life?" Qin Lan's words immediately silenced the SWAT team members who were eating in the carriage.

    One hundred years is really too short for the earth. This apocalyptic disaster has been experienced by the planet under our feet in its long 4.6 billion years.  Hui, it is really insignificant and not worth recording.

    Only those ancient biologists who study paleontological fossils can trace back such insignificant traces.

    But one hundred years is such a long time for human beings!

    "Seventy years of life are rare. It is difficult for a person to live for more than a hundred years, even in peaceful times, let alone the current apocalypse where everyone is struggling to survive?

    "What are you all doing with your heads down? Now you have food, drink, and a place to live. What's there to be dissatisfied about?" Li Tou saw the team members looking so depressed, and suddenly shouted at them.

    "Li Tou, there is no hope in these days!" One of the SWAT team members showed a bitter smile and looked up at him: "Are we going to live underground like this all our lives? We don't care.  But it¡¯s impossible for the next generation to live in such darkness, right?¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
