When Caleb scolded her, Nadia only smiled and didn't argue back. If she really did have a knack for bad luck, she hoped with all her heart that the extreme cold would never come. Keeping a close eye on things, she noticed Harrison was as composed as ever, his expression unreadable. Colby, on the other hand, was restless; despite four hours of training, he still couldn't settle down and let out low whines now and then. Not knowing exactly when the cold would hit, Nadia prepared in advance, setting out electric blankets, down comforters, and thick quilts. That night, she went to bed in thermal underwear. The day's high-intensity training had exhausted her, and though she planned to stay up, she ended up drifting off to sleep much sooner than expected. She had no idea how long she'd slept when Colby's loud barking and the crackling of her walkie-talkie pulled her awake. Opening her eyes, Nadia was hit by a bitter chill. Even her rabbits were squealing in alarm from across the room. Shining her flashlight, she saw all twenty-some rabbits crammed into Colby's dog bed, shivering uncontrollably from the cold. "Nadia! Nadia!" Harrison's urgent voice crackled over the walkie-talkie. "Y-Yes, I'm here." Her teeth chattered, and she could barely speak. "Temperature's dropped! Get dressed, quickly!" he urged through the walkie-talkie. The air felt like knives slicing through her skin, making it hard to even speak. Nadia quickly bundled Colby and the rabbits into her domain. Warmth surrounded them instantly, and she felt her stiff limbs slowly coming back to life. She wasted no time layering up: thermal underwear, a cashmere sweater, a mink coat, several pairs of socks, insulated snow boots, a scarf, and a warm face mask. After that, she knelt to dress Colby in his own layers: thermal wear, a cashmere sweater, and a mink coat. She wrapped Dusty and Snowball up as well, turning them into little fluff balls. As for the other rabbits, she packed them into a foam box layered with blankets, leaving their survival to fate. After finishing, Nadia downed a steaming bowl of turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger tea to warm her throat and stomach. The moment she stepped out of her domain, the deafening banging on her door nearly made her jump out of her skin. "Nadia!" The pounding was forceful, rattling the stainless steel door. "Coming!" The air was icy, each breath burning her chest with cold. Colby coughed, pawing at his nose to fend off the chill. She hurriedly brought the rabbits' bedding back to her room before rushing to the door, only to find Harrison there, mid-kick. The second she opened the door, his concerned voice rang out. "Are you alright?" Without waiting for a reply, he wrapped a fur coat snugly around her shoulders. Momentarily stunned, she looked at him, wearing a military coat, and blinked, dazed. But she quickly regained her senses. "I'm fine, just got a bit frozen there for a second. My ears felt like they'd gone deaf from the cold." "Glad you're okay." He fastened the coat's buttons for her, then moved to knock on the door of Unit 1803. Caleb, already awakened by the pounding, was frantically layering on as many clothes as he could find. "Got it!" he shouted. With two fur coats on, Nadia looked like a giant puffball. Noticing her dazed expression, Harrison gave her shoulders a light shake and said sternly, "Get back inside and start a fire for warmth." "Oh." Nadia turned to head back to her apartment. Harrison added, "Don't lock the door." Nadia left her door unlocked and went back to her room to grab the kettle. Seeing that the door to Unit 1801 was open, she quickly walked over. "I made some ginger tea. You and Lily should drink some to warm up." Lily was bundled up on the bed, her small face pale from the cold, unable to even speak, shivering uncontrollably. Harrison held her close, gently feeding her a bowl of turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger tea. "Careful, it's hot." After drinking a full bowl, Lily finally started to feel better, her eyes welling up with tears. "Harry…" "Don't cry. Your tears might freeze, and your face will get damaged." Nadia poured Harrison a bowl, then hurriedly headed to Unit 1803, where the three residents were scrambling, layering on clothes and blankets. Caleb, particularly worse for wear, looked like his face had turned purple from the cold. Wrapped in mink coats, down blankets, and every layer they could get, the Southerners shivered, feeling their hearts ache from the chill. It took several bowls of hot ginger tea before they started to feel a bit of warmth return."Nadia, y-you really did jinx us," Caleb chattered, huddled on the couch with teeth chattering. "If you hadn't spent that million, we'd all be dead tonight." All those thick clothes and blankets they'd stocked up on to burn through leftover cash had unexpectedly become lifesavers. Jasmine and Levi huddled together for warmth, and Jasmine, who recovered faster, shivered as she started a fire. Seeing they were all okay, Nadia left in relief. She noticed the door to Unit 1801 was still open and went back in. "How's Lily?" Harrison was stoking a charcoal stove. "The ginger tea warmed her up." Lily, now buried in blankets with only her bright eyes showing, looked up at Nadia. "I'm okay now, Miss. How's Colby?" Woof! The neglected dog finally had its moment, eager to show off its toughness. Unfortunately, it was bundled up so thickly that no muscle could be seen. Seeing Colby decked out in mink, Lily's spirits instantly lifted, and she reached out to pet his face. With the fire going, the room grew significantly warmer. Nadia stood up to leave, reminding Harrison, "Don't seal the doors and windows too tight. Leave a small gap for ventilation." In her previous life, many had frozen to death when they accidentally closed off all ventilation and never woke up. Once Harrison had two charcoal stoves running, he handed one to Nadia. "Be careful yourself." Nadia paused, suddenly remembering she was still wearing his mink coat. She quickly started to remove it. "Keep it; I don't feel the cold as much as you." In truth, aside from her hands, feet, and face, her body was surprisingly warm—probably thanks to the thermal wear, which made her feel cozy. She looked at Colby, noting that he seemed to have recovered as well. Determined, she returned the coat to Harrison. "Don't get yourself sick; Lily still needs you." Harrison didn't argue but insisted she take the charcoal heater. Reluctantly, Nadia accepted it. All the residents of the 18th floor had made it through the night safely, and they collectively sighed in relief. Now, with a bit more peace of mind, Nadia listened to the sounds coming from downstairs—there was commotion, loud and frantic. Closing her door tightly, she returned to her room and pulled out a thermometer to check—it was a staggering -2°F outside. In a southern coastal city that usually had winter temperatures above 59°F, where the historical low never dropped below freezing and down jackets were rarely worn more than a few times a year, a sudden drop from 68°F to -2°F was a disaster. More terrifying than the cold was the risk of extreme hypothermia. In such intense conditions, body heat could drain rapidly, lowering core temperatures, causing uncontrollable shivering, and eventually leading to heart and lung failure, even death. Yes, it wasn't the cold itself but extreme hypothermia that would claim many lives. People wouldn't even get the chance to open their eyes, drifting off into a permanent sleep, sometimes even with dreams of relief—that the rain had stopped and society would be restored. Woof! Colby's bark brought Nadia back to reality. She reached into her domain and took out a battery box, electric heater, and electric blanket…
