The high temperature period of the apocalypse has finally passed, and the base has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past year.
The first is the expansion of the base.
The tide of elemental beasts has been besieging the city all year round. From the first level four and five elemental beasts, it became the sixth and seventh level elemental beasts, and finally the eighth-level elemental beast king appeared. Advanced elemental beasts are difficult to kill, but each time you kill one, you can obtain advanced elemental cores. By the end of the apocalypse, advanced ice elemental cores are no longer a rare thing. Relying on advanced ice elemental cores, the base has been expanded again and again.
The second is the improvement of abilities. With the continuous supply of crystal cores and actual combat experience, everyone's abilities have been upgraded. Luo Hansheng has already reached the late eighth level, and is only one step away from the ninth level. Su Mian, Mu Gui, the Qin brothers and sisters have also entered the eighth level.
Due to genetic defects, the members of the Dragon Group were originally unable to upgrade to high-level superpowers. However, during the year at Anping Base, for some unknown reason, they managed to break through to level seven with the help of actual combat experience and food supplements, and Tatsuno even entered the level. Late seventh level.
Finally, the scientific research team developed various powerful crystal nuclear weapons, crystal core kinetic energy vehicles, established a crystal core signal base, etc. Crystal nuclei have begun to be widely used in everyone’s lives.
When the tide of elemental beasts dispersed, Su Mian was looking at the new cotton and linen products. The food problem has been solved long ago. During this year, everyone planted cotton and linen and began to sew clothes to solve the clothing problem.
"Sister-in-law, where is the boss? The tide of elemental beasts surrounding the city outside suddenly dispersed, and we measured that the temperature was dropping rapidly." Luo Qi came over excitedly. The eighteen-year-old boy, with red lips and white teeth, stood in front of Su Mian, A head taller than her.
"Luo Hansheng seems to have gone to the laboratory to test the performance of the crystal core kinetic energy vehicle." Su Mian asked in surprise, "Has the tide of elemental beasts dispersed?"
"It's gone. When we sent people to change the guard in the morning, we found that there were a few crystal cores harvested. When we went out to take a look, Hey, all the fifth and sixth level elemental beasts that besieged the city overnight had dispersed, and the temperature outside also began to drop. , is the apocalypse coming to an end?" Luo Qi was so excited that she could not wait to dance. It would be great if the apocalypse was over.
Su Mian calculated the time. There were too many changes in the past life and the present. She could only roughly estimate that after the high temperature period in the previous life, there was a short period of peace. The temperature once returned to 50 degrees, and before the end of the world, everyone was in joy. At that time, a cold wave hit, and the entire earth froze, killing countless people.
She also froze to death in the apocalyptic cold wave.
Calculating the peace period of the end of the world, it will be about fifteen days. As for how long the apocalyptic ice age will last, she doesn't know.
"Go to the laboratory to find Luo Hansheng and take a look at the recently detected data. Wait and see for a while. It is best to figure out the trends of the elemental beast tide." Su Mian said. When these elemental beasts dispersed, they must have sensed the crisis and looked for a safe place to spend the winter.
"Hey, okay." Luo Qi went to find Luo Hansheng excitedly.
Su Mian packed up the newly made clothes, went to the kitchen to pack some ingredients, and then went to the backyard to pick a few bunches of fresh and ripe grapes, and put them in bamboo baskets back to her grandma's house.
Ever since Su Mian got married, Grandma Su had been away from her biggest concern. She spent all day farming and raising flowers with Grandma Mu's family, living a life of retirement.
As long as the eighth-level elemental beast king didn't appear and she didn't need to use her healing powers to assist the team in killing high-level elemental beasts, Su Mian would come back once a week, mostly to deliver some fresh ingredients and chat with her grandma.
"Grandma, I'm back." Su Mian put down her backpack. Seeing that there was no one at home, she knocked on the door of the Mu family next door.
Mu Yu came over to open the door, saw her, and smiled excitedly: "Sister Su Mian, why are you back? Are you looking for Grandma Su?"
"Yes. Is my grandma here?" Su Mian smiled and handed the two bunches of grapes to Mu Yu. The little girl took them with a happy face.
"Grandma Su is making shoe soles with my grandma."
Su Mian came in and saw that the old man of the Mu family and Grandma Mu were there, as well as Mu Gui and others.
"Su Mian, why are you back?" Mu Gui also just came back from outside the base. He bought some ingredients and sent them back. When he saw Su Mian, he smiled and said, "Just in time, I have something to do with you. Lao Luo has a meeting later. You and I go together."
"Is it because the elemental beasts have dispersed?"
Mu Gui nodded. The old people were a little excited when they heard that the tide of elemental beasts outside had dispersed and the temperature was dropping.
Su Mian came back just for this matter, to remind her grandma and the villagers.
"Xiao Mian, is the temperature really dropping?" Grandma Su asked in disbelief as she stopped wearing the soles of her shoes, "They all say the apocalypse is coming to an end, is that true?"
Grandma Su knows Su Mian's secret. She doesn't believe what others say, but she only believes what her granddaughter says.
Su Mian shook his head and said: "I don't think so. The elemental beasts are tyrannical in the last days. Now they can't retreat for no reason. Beasts are the best at sensing crises. I think there may be greater natural disasters coming. The elemental beasts are all They scattered and ran for their lives."
Su Mian's words were like a basin of cold water waking up everyone, even Mu Gui was a little surprised.
Grandma Su was thoughtful, the smile on her face disappeared and became serious.
"Sister Su Mian, the high temperature in the apocalypse is already an unimaginable disaster, can it be more terrifying than this?" Mu Yu asked in confusion.
"Believe in science, this depends on the meteorological data collected from various places. Mu Gui, I'll talk to my grandma for a while, and you can go to the meeting first. Regarding cooling, those were my thoughts just now." Su Mian looked at Mu Gui Return.
Mu Gui had also been with her for a long time and knew that her acumen in important matters was terrifying. He nodded and went to the base for a meeting.
Su Mian and Grandma Su returned home, and when no one was around, they briefly talked about things that might cool things down later.
Once the temperature drops, it will be a world of ice and snow. Then no grass will grow and crops will freeze to death. Advanced ice element crystal nuclei will no longer work. It becomes extremely important to collect a large amount of combustibles.
Grandma Su was slightly surprised. She held her hand and said, "The high temperature burns everything. Once the temperature drops, what will you use to keep warm?"
"Go to the mountains behind to cut wood, and last year we stored a large amount of charcoal fire in the cellar, which can last for a while." Su Mian was also a little worried. The advanced fire element crystal core did not have the function of heating, and he was afraid of the end of the ice age. As long as the high temperature period, how to spend the long cold winter
"Don't worry, you will always find a way." Grandma Su comforted her, and went to tell the villagers living around that they couldn't go out at will even if the temperature dropped.
At noon, Luo Qi came over to deliver a message, saying that Luo Hansheng would have a meeting until the evening and would not come back for dinner at night. Luo Qi hurried back after delivering the letter. It seemed that the sudden drop in temperature had a great impact.
Su Mian simply stayed and had dinner with her grandma. By the time the temperature dropped significantly at night, coupled with the freezing effect of the ice element crystal nuclei, Su Mian felt like she had spent the winter.
She found the winter supplies that she had stored for more than a year from the gourd space, left three or four quilts and down jackets for her grandma, and then helped her make the bed.
When the grandfather and grandson were making beds, Luo Hansheng came in from outside.
The man wears black clothes and trousers all year round. Fortunately, his skin is fair and handsome, and the black clothes make his body tall, tall, and handsome.
"Grandma, Xiaomian."
"Why are you here? Isn't there a meeting until night?" Su Mian was slightly surprised.
"Have you eaten, Xiaosheng? If you haven't, I'll make you two dishes." Grandma Su said with a smile.
"We ate in the conference room during the meeting. Don't be busy, grandma. I'm here to take Xiaomian home." Luo Hansheng smiled lightly and looked at Su Mian with soft eyes.
"Okay, you go back, Xiaomian has been with me for a day." Grandma Su said with a smile, feeling very relieved to see that the relationship between the two was still as good as when they were just married.
Su Mian took Luo Hansheng's arm and walked home under the moonlight.
The bloody moon in the sky has faded and returned to the cold moon before the end of the world.
"Are you cold?" The man took out a scarf and a hat from the storage space, wrapped them around her, and then took the opportunity to hug her and steal a kiss. It was a bit hard to hold his wife after the whole day of meeting.
Su Mian's eyes flickered, and she pinched him with a smile: "People will see it."
"Then we'll kiss you when we go home." Luo Hansheng nodded lightly, put his arm around her shoulders, and went home.
Su Mian was held in his arms and felt much warmer. She raised her head and asked, "Why is the temperature so low?"
"The meteorological team detected abnormal temperature data, which is related to the route after the solar nuclear explosion. The earth's environment may undergo drastic changes again and usher in an ice age." Luo Hansheng said in a low voice, "When the temperature outside drops to a suitable temperature, we have to put away the ice element crystal nuclei and prepare supplies for the winter."
Sumian breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, an ice age would come.
“How long will ice ages last?”
"It shouldn't take long, but we're not sure yet. Tomorrow we will send people out to survey the nearby environment to see if there are any trees in the mountains behind. We will need to cut down more trees for the winter."
I haven't been to the mountains in a year, so I don't know if they were burned away by the high temperature, or if there are ice and wood elemental beasts there, and a large area of virgin forest is preserved.
Su Mian nodded and said: "Hasn't the fire element crystal core researched flammable substances?"
Luo Hansheng looked at Su Mian with a deep look, stretched out his hand to pinch her little face, and said with a low smile: "We can always think of going together. I have asked people from the scientific research team to do research. If New types of flammable substances can be produced in the crystal nuclei of fire elements. No matter how long this winter lasts, we are not afraid."
Su Mian pinched her face, snorted, pinched it back, and said proudly: "It seems that your IQ is getting higher and higher when you are with me."
Luo Hansheng raised the corners of his lips and said, "Yes, it's all thanks to my dear guidance."
"Smooth talk." Seeing that his skin felt so good, Su Mian couldn't help but touch it twice. It wasn't until the man's eyes darkened and he pretended to kiss her that she let go, clapped her hands and said, "Hurry up and go home. I don’t know how to keep busy.”
Luo Hansheng raised his eyebrows, pulled her back into his arms, and then the two of them walked under the moonlight and walked back to the small western-style building in the inner city.
In the following days, the temperature dropped to 50 degrees, then 40 degrees, then to 30 degrees, and continued to drop.
The base put away the ice element crystal cores, and the superpowers began to form teams into the mountains to cut down trees, transport trees, and kill elemental beasts. The base began to produce large quantities of quilts, cotton coats and other winter supplies.
Su Mian also took people back to Hantan Village and took out all the charcoal and briquettes stored in the cellar of the village. These things were insulated and were well preserved without any damage.
Unfortunately, the quantity is limited and cannot be supplied to such a large base for a long time.
Seeing that the high temperature period was over, the Qin brothers and sisters set out to return to the north before the ice age. There were many volcanoes in the north and they wanted to rely on the terrain to survive the winter. After being away from home for a year, they also missed home.
Luo Hansheng did not persuade him to stay, nor did he accept the Qin family's invitation to go to the north, but continued to stay at the Anping base.
This is his and Sumian's home. They can survive the furnace of the apocalypse and the cold winter of the apocalypse.
