That year during the Spring Festival, Wen Qian also prepared a few dishes for herself.
Wen Qian was originally not soone who cared much about festivals, but she lived here alone.
At first, whenever she flipped through the calendar, she would carefully read the words on it, such as festivals, solar terms, or taboos and auspicious days.
Now, not only would she carefully read the words on the calendar, but she would also carefully read the ingredient lists on the seasoning packets and bottles she used.
It was simply because she had nothing else to do, that she would do such things.
However, she actually knew about so many festivals, but there weren't many that made her put in the effort to celebrate. One was the harvest season, and the other was the Spring Festival.
Even her own birthday, Wen Qian often forgot about it, as it was a common occurrence. Besides, age only gets higher, and Wen Qian felt there was no need to celebrate it every year.
However, there were no signs of warming up in April, and when Wen Qian saw the temperature rise a few degrees in May, she hoped for spring to arrive, only to find that the radio had disappeared.
At first, she thought her radio had broken down, so she took out a new one to use but found that she couldn't receive any stations.
Then Wen Qian wondered if she had missed the ti when the stations adjusted their frequencies.
So for a week straight, Wen Qian tried listening at different tis, but found no signals.
It was then that she believed the signals had truly disappeared.
Although the signal had disappeared, Wen Qian still felt as if she had lost sothing, feeling depressed and lost.
Although she had known that it was possible to not receive news from the outside world, when she was truly cut off from the world, the feeling was still different.
In fact, that sole radio station was still operating, but Wen Qian's area simply could not receive it.
After years of damage from the ice and snow, and without anyone performing regular maintenance and repairs, many communication facilities had lost their effectiveness.
Wen Qian later also pondered this issue, and was more inclined to believe it was a problem with the equipnt.
Before, when everything was still normal, soone had raised such a question: what would one need to never leave the house?
Many people answered that as long as they had food, water, internet, and electricity, they could stay at ho forever.
Wen Qian agreed with this statent; she could do it.
But now that she couldn't listen to the radio, Wen Qian was sowhat depressed for a while.
She could only try using her radio every so often to see if she could receive any news.
However, after that, she was never able to receive anything, and as ti passed, the uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated, perhaps because she had beco used to it.
It was like when smartphones first appeared, there were other forms of entertainnt back then.
Now that many people couldn't use their phones, they were initially unaccustod to it but had no choice, and eventually had to accept reality and find other forms of entertainnt.
By late May, the temperature had finally risen, but Wen Qian felt sothing was amiss, so when planting, she only planted even less wheat than the previous ti.
The rest were turned into vegetables, beans, potatoes, and other crops.
However, in early July of that year, it started snowing from the sky, and Wen Qian let out a long sigh as she looked at the falling snow outside.
Based on the situation where she had suffered disasters here for two consecutive years, if not for the support of Space, she would have had to flee as well.
Wen Qian had also watched movies about fleeing from disasters. Staying put ant waiting for death, while fleeing outwards could also lead to death on the road.
The snow was light, and it had been snowing for an hour without stopping. So Wen Qian started picking the newly one-month-old baby greens in her vegetable field.
These baby greens were not frost-resistant, and while the wheat seedlings could withstand so frost to prevent pests, the greens would rot if not harvested. Wen Qian also scooped up her hydroponic seedlings and brought them inside.
The next day, it was still snowing, so Wen Qian stayed at ho and sorted out the greens and tender seedlings she had harvested.
This snowfall disappeared without a trace within a week, but it caused great harm to agricultural production.
At this point, it was unknown what the situation was like in other places. If other places were in the sa condition as Wen Qian's area, then the number of people migrating this year would only be greater than last year.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Those who didn't leave last year now regretted not leaving earlier, as they had suffered disasters for two consecutive years. No one had surplus grains at ho.
Therefore, those who had originally intended to stay put also began to waver, as they saw no hope on their own land, and so they thought of heading further south.
They even wondered if the people who had already left last year had started planting during this year's planting season, or if they had already harvested.
Among the people migrating, a new force erged, attacking the last remaining grain reserves.
Wherever there were transport vehicles along the routes, they would go into a frenzy attacking them, regardless of whether the vehicles were used for providing relief to travelers or supplying goods to cities and bases.
In short, wherever they thought there was sothing to be gained, they would try, not following the most convenient route to the south.
They also indiscriminately attacked ordinary people who were also migrating, causing great casualties. This wave of people was then suppressed by the military forces from several southern bases.
After the ard forces left their bases, the base defenses were no longer as tight.
Everyone thought it wouldn't be a problem, as those living in the cities currently seed to be going about their business as usual, with everything appearing the sa as before.
What they didn't expect was that there was also a group of people in the cities who started causing destruction. Their goal was not to loot food or kill and set fires, but to target the original research facilities directly.
That is, the places where the people in white lab coats were located.
When the researchers discovered that people had started invading the research area, the alarm was raised, but the number of defenders here was not greater than the number of invaders.
Even if they didn't harm people, they still rushed madly towards the research labs and experint rooms, smashing and destroying various research equipnt.
They just wanted that after these equipnt and facilities were destroyed, those people wearing glasses and white coats who "didn't do anything" every day would also have to cultivate mushrooms and breed lab mice like them.
They knew that the most important seed research and developnt base and researchers had been dispatched to the southernmost Sunshine Base, so they felt that the people here were not the most important, and therefore weren't afraid of being punished.
So researchers could not allow their achievents to be destroyed by others, and used their bodies to block the path of those people, resulting in being beaten.
In such a situation, a group of people's actions would exceed their original plan.
They were angry but also smug, because they were the stronger ones. When the other party started bleeding, it instead sparked their desire to kill.
Therefore, the original plan of only smashing things but not harming people eventually resulted in casualties.
Organizations abroad had done the sa, directly massacring researchers and scientists.
