It has been snowing heavily for more than a month. The snow on the playground has accumulated about 3 meters, and the temperature has dropped to more than 30 degrees below zero.
At first, everyone ran outside the cave to do some simple activities. Later, it was almost impossible to go out. Even Yang Xiao, Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, Huang Wen, and Chen Fei, the five people who had entered the primary stage of primitive genes, stayed outside. After a long time, you will feel uncomfortable. You have to wear a special hat and gloves every time you go out.
The hat is made by Huang Wen and other girls from animal fur. It is a simple barrel shape that completely covers the head and neck, leaving only three holes. The top two can be used to see the outside scenery with the eyes, and the bottom hole is Used for breathing.
Fortunately, there are cave dwellings to keep warm. Burning a fire in the underground fire tunnel of the cave dwelling every day can bring the temperature of the cave dwelling to about ten degrees. Otherwise, the cold-proof clothes everyone wears now will be difficult to withstand such harsh weather.
Fortunately, there is enough food. There are two hot meals every day, and each person has about half a catty of dried meat and one catty of potatoes for each meal. Although everyone's life is a bit boring, it is also safe and worry-free.
Yang Xiao would go to the gene store to play Go with Gu Bo every day. At first, Long Yongjun also went with him, but then it became too cold. It was extremely uncomfortable to walk on the road more than 100 meters outside, especially because the snow was too deep. , it is inconvenient to run, so I can only tie up a wooden board and walk around slowly.
Yang Xiao later stopped letting Long Yongjun follow him. Anyway, there was no danger in his own territory, not to mention that he now had the beast soul skill of breaking the ground with one finger and the defense of a light shield.
Gu Bo's Go game was very weird. When he first started playing, Yang Xiao used his consciousness to move the chess pieces very slowly. After getting used to it, and after a period of training, the moving speed became faster and faster.
Gu Bo's chess skills were average and he often lost to Yang Xiao. The old man Gu Bo had a stubborn personality and insisted on winning a game against Yang Xiao. However, Yang Xiao would not let him go even once, which made Gu Bo want to lift the chess game every time. After a few minutes, he pulled Yang Xiao back to the chessboard to continue playing.
Every time Yang Xiao played Go for half a day with Gu Bo, he would feel exhausted and very tired. However, after he rested for half an hour, he would be full of blood and resurrected. When he walked out of the gene store, he felt like he was completely exhausted. Refreshing and energetic.
"Old man, tell me the truth, what's so weird about your Go game?"
Gu Bo smiled mysteriously and said:
"I won't tell you this. If you are willing to come every day, I will play chess with you. If you don't come, I will play chess with my assistant."
Yang Xiao was speechless.
Once Yang Xiao threatened Gu Bo,
"If you don't tell me, I won't play chess again."
He really didn't come the next day, so old man Gu Bo played chess with his assistant, but the assistant's chess skills were so poor that he felt bored halfway through the game and put the chess pieces away and stopped playing.
The assistant looked embarrassed.
This is just like masters competing for skills. If you compete with masters, you can continue to improve yourself even if you lose. However, sparring with inferior opponents will not help you much.
Yang Xiao also felt strange that if he didn't play chess for a day, he would feel panicked, so his insistence ended.
Gu Bo's assistant once waited for Yang Xiao to leave and said to Gu Bo:
"Master, mental power is an invisible attribute of biological evolution. It is very effective in improving the potential of various genetic attributes of living things. You are helping Yang Xiao, why don't you tell him?"
"Haha, I just used him as a training opponent to improve my own mental power. This mental power is the fifth hidden attribute of biological evolution. The special training method is a secret that has been passed down to our tribe for thousands of years. Why? Is it possible to easily tell humans?
He plays chess with me, which invisibly improves his own invisible mental power. I am worthy of him. This is his opportunity. As for how far he can go, it depends on his own destiny. "
At the same time, the entire earth was covered with ice and snow, as if it had suddenly entered an ice age.
A serious food crisis has occurred at Xia Nan University. Coupled with the cold weather, even if everyone hid in the teaching building, they were still freezing.
The firewood had been burned long ago, and even the wooden boards, desks, and benches in the teaching building were burned.
Ever since the first person froze to death, people have died in their sleep every day.
"Charlotte, this is not the way to go. Many people will freeze to death."
Zhou Qiang and others stood in Xia Luo's room. Now even Xia Luo's room had no firewood to keep warm, and they relied entirely on their own genetic evolution potential.
"Do you have any better idea?"
Charlotte asked rhetorically.
"Give them more food. Eating more can keep them warm and help them resist the cold."
"No, now even our elite guards need less food. Where can we get more food for ordinary people?"
"But"
"Don't tell me again, there is no but, no one knows when the severe cold will pass, I can only do this cruelly, otherwise, you and me, no one of us will be able to escape this disaster."
Everyone was silent.
Zhou Qiang whispered:
"How about we go to Shonan University and ask them to borrow some food? Didn't they build cave dwellings? How about we go to their place to take shelter for a while?"
After hearing this, Charlotte smiled bitterly, pointed to the teleportation station three hundred meters away, and said:
"It's three hundred meters from here. The snow is three meters thick. The temperature is minus thirty-eight degrees. You don't have thick cold-proof clothes. Which of you can walk to the teleportation array?"
Everyone was silent again.
What Charlotte said is right. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to walk a hundred meters in the snow now. They will freeze quickly. If you fall directly into the three-meter-deep snow, there is no hope of surviving.
Those with bird and beast souls mainly evolved the agility attribute, and their ability to withstand severe cold was relatively low, and they would freeze to death if they flew out.
Charlotte glanced at the dozen or so people in the room. These were all the current elites of Xia Nan University.
"Even if you can reach the teleportation array and reach Xiangnan University smoothly, how do you know that Yang Xiao and the others have enough food? Maybe they have frozen to death in the cave dwelling."
Zhou Qiang and others looked at the heavy snow outside, feeling despair in their hearts. Are we really unable to escape the doomsday of the end of the world and are destined to die in the ice and snow?
The situation in Star City was the same as that of Xia Nan University. A large number of people were frozen to death by the severe cold.
The Xiang River has frozen, and the entire river has turned into a super large ice block covered with thick snow.
The giant snake on the Xianghe River Bridge has long disappeared.
In the city, it is a different scene at the moment.
Before the end of the world, there were several subway lines in Shashi. These subway lines were all built at a depth of more than ten meters, which became a naturally huge thermal insulation cave dwelling.
The total population of the three gene store bases in Shashi City exceeds about 10,000 people, and now they have all moved to the underground subway passages to avoid the cold.
Most of the buildings in Shashi have collapsed, but a small number of commercial office buildings are relatively intact. The heavy snow can only cover the streets and the outside of the buildings. There are a lot of wooden furniture inside the buildings that can be used for heating.
In addition, there is relatively abundant food here, with hundreds of large supermarkets and countless small supermarkets, so there is no problem for everyone to eat.
Although people in urban areas were equally cold, the mortality rate was much lower.
The only problem they have now is that they can only move around in the subway passages and the buildings connected to them. They cannot easily go outside for activities. Otherwise, their bodies will get frostbite in mild cases and freeze to death in severe cases.
The severe cold restricted the activities of most people, and the world was lifeless.
Until one night, Yang Xiao and others were sleeping in the cave dwelling. Suddenly, a strange cry came from outside:
"Woo——"
