Apocalyptic World: Surviving with my husband and my cute little babies-Chapter 145: Extreme cold arrival.

Ethan was sleeping soundly when a loud knock on the door jolted him awake.

Opening his eyes, he shivered from the bone-chilling cold in the room and quickly glanced at his wife, concerned that she might also feel the chill.

To his relief, he found her curled up under the blankets, still fast asleep. He felt a sense of comfort as he realized she was safe.

He gently shook her awake, whispering, "Wife, the extreme cold is here."

He wanted to notify her of the situation, as he had promised to do whenever their surroundings changed.

Elena woke up groggily but jolted awake as she shuddered from the chill.

’It’s freezing.’

"Wife, it’s so cold. Please go to Paradise and put on your warm clothes," Ethan suggested, gently caressing her hands to help warm them.

"Alright, I’ll head there now," she replied, then vanished from their unit and entered the space.

The knocking continued, more insistent this time.

"Chief... Ch... Chief! Wake up!"

Oslo shouted with all his might, and just then, the door swung open.

Ethan stepped out, urging him to calm down.

"Come inside. What about the others?"

"Are you alright, Chief? I’ve already notified them that the temperature has dropped below 0 degrees Celsius. They’re currently at Paradise taking refuge," Oslo replied as he walked inside, struggling to speak through the cold weather.

"I’m fine. Let’s go. Help me turn on the heating system in Grandpa Caldwell’s unit so we can discuss things there."

Oslo nodded in agreement. They then went to Grandpa Caldwell’s unit and turned the temperature control to maximum heating.

Meanwhile, as soon as Elena entered the space, her stiff limbs relaxed as warmth gently enveloped her.

The space had a unique function: the temperature remained perfectly balanced no matter the circumstances. So, even without clothes, no one felt cold or hot inside.

She quickly used her [Telepathy] skill to contact everyone, urging them to enter the space as soon as possible.

To her surprise, they were already there, hurriedly putting on their clothes—wool beanies, thermal scarves, thick winter coats over sweaters and thermal shirts, insulated gloves, warm pants with thermal leggings underneath, thick socks, and waterproof insulated boots.

Elena then told everyone to check on each other to ensure they were inside.

She felt relieved they had quickly noticed the change in atmosphere and was grateful that Oslo was on guard duty tonight to alert them. freewёbnoνel.com

However, she reminded them about the specific function of the Golden Tablet, knowing they might have forgotten it.

"Everyone, next time use the [Emergency] trigger so I can be notified and warn everyone as soon as possible. Okay?"

Everyone nodded, feeling a bit ashamed for having overlooked this important function.

A few moments later, Ethan and Oslo entered the space.

Ethan quickly searched for his wife and helped her put on more clothes, worried the baby might also get cold.

"Husband, are you alright? By the way, what took you so long?" Elena asked as she donned the thick clothes.

"Wife, I’m fine. I turned on the heating system in Grandpa’s unit so we can go there without being overwhelmed by the cold," Ethan replied, adjusting the layers around her belly.

"That’s enough! Stop piling more clothes on me. Go put on your thermal gear now, and then help Grandpa after you get some hot water," Elena protested, feeling restricted and unable to move easily.

"Alright," Ethan agreed, then headed off to check on his grandpa.

Elena, on the other hand, headed to check on the kids.

Upon seeing their bunny suits, she couldn’t help but find them adorable.

Even in the extreme cold weather, they always managed to bring her joy.

"Little Mia, come here! Let me check if your clothes are warm enough," Elena called out, ensuring the kids were adequately equipped with thermal gear.

Little Mia sprinted and stopped in front of Elena, beaming with pride.

"Sis Ewe, look at my cwothes! They have floppy ears and a tail. Grwndma made this for me!"

"You really look good in that suit! Let me check inside," Elena replied, praising Mia for her cuteness.

Seeing the warm clothes underneath the suit, Elena felt relieved and instructed the kids to get ready, as they would soon leave the space.

At first, she wanted them to stay inside, but then she recalled her husband’s reminder that they needed to adapt to the cold weather.

She still herself, took a deep breath, and promised to prepare plenty of hot drinks for them.

After making the necessary preparations, Elena exited the space, dragging everyone along with her.

The moment they appeared inside Grandpa Caldwell’s unit, they shuddered as the temperature dropped even further within just a few minutes.

Elena quickly retrieved the thermometer to check the temperature.

She was surprised to see it was -10 degrees Celsius.

"This sudden cold is brutal. Since it happened at night, it will definitely catch people off guard. They might freeze to death," Grandpa Caldwell sighed, expressing his concern.

Though they were prepared, they still felt overwhelmed by this disaster, wondering how those who were unprepared would manage.

A heavy silence settled over them, broken only when Grandma Ford and Mrs. Benette called them in for hot ginger soup and coffee to warm up.

Soon, wails were heard from the building as people called out for help.

Those living in the corridor were the most affected, as the cold weather began to freeze the area, leaving them gasping in shock.

They had thought that when the rain stopped, it meant the end of the disaster, but now the situation was even more dangerous than before.

Elena and the others could hear their plea, so Elena decided to open this shop late at night.

"Let’s open the Paradise shop now. These residents might not survive until tomorrow; by then, it could become a ghost building with no one left," Elena suggested.

The residents had proven to be well-behaved and quite likable, especially as they exchanged their jades and antiques.

"Alright, just stay here. We’re going to set up the shop in unit 1501, Dr. Paige’s unit," Ethan replied, his voice firm.

As everyone prepared, Oslo and Xander made their way downstairs to assess the situation with the residents.

What they found was worse than they had anticipated; many appeared to be turning blue from the cold.

The freezing temperatures that had just set in continued to drop, affecting everyone in the building.
