Moody has already advanced under the Fusang tree, while they're still cooking!

Seeing their hearty appetites, Ye Ling was dumbfounded; they really could eat!

A long time passed, and the long feast finally came to an end.

Looking at Ye Ling's disheveled beauty, Ye Yanling felt hungry again.

Seeing Ye Ling turn her head away in anger, he panicked, realizing he had gone a bit too far this time.

They quickly comforted her until she stopped crying and started smiling, only then did they secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

She just wanted to sleep peacefully, but since she was thinking about someone else, how could they not be jealous?

Moreover, she immediately reunited with her eldest brother and the others. Given Lingling's dependence on her eldest and second eldest brothers, her mind is probably entirely focused on them.

Especially when I'm with my older brother, I feel like they're all superfluous.

By then, let alone meat, there probably won't even be any broth left.

………………

Four hours later.

I calculated the time, and only an hour and a half had passed outside. Fortunately, I hadn't wasted too much time.

A helicopter appeared out of nowhere in the ruined city. Moody was shocked by the outside temperature. Even though she had prepared herself, she was still shivering from the extreme cold.

She hugged Wen Mengxia tightly, her teeth chattering: "It's so cold. Now I know why so many people have frozen to death. This is practically the Ice Age!"

The outside world is all white; how can we survive like this?

Wen Mengxia was the complete opposite of her. She was enveloped in ice elements, which made her feel so comfortable that she couldn't help but frantically absorb the ice elements coming at her. She had a feeling that it wouldn't be long before she could break through to level six.

Ye Ling controlled the temperature around the helicopter and said to Moody, "Yes, that's why many bases couldn't hold out and disappeared along with the survivors."

As You Ziming piloted the helicopter, he said to Ye Jinyan, the co-pilot, "Keep an eye on the temperature. If it gets too low, tell Lingling."

Ye Jinyan nodded: "Don't worry, I know what to do. Fortunately, we're not far from Jincheng."

Seeing Wen Mengxia closing her eyes and frantically absorbing ice elements, Moody didn't dare to hug her anymore, afraid of disturbing her, so she turned around and hugged Ye Ling instead.

She was in great pain. She had wood-type abilities, and in the extreme cold, she felt as if her blood had frozen.

Looking at the snow-white world outside, she asked Ye Ling, "Lingling, how long will this extreme cold last? If it continues like this, will humanity become extinct?"

Ye Ling was certain: "They won't go extinct, and the country won't allow them to. As for when the extreme cold will end, we'll have to wait until July or August."

"So long?"

"Um."

Moody said with concern, "If it takes that long, only those people in the underground city will survive. Ordinary people on the surface won't survive."

Ye Ling looked outside: "Perhaps, in the near future, the country will order the opening of the underground city, allowing citizens on the surface to enter the underground city for refuge."

Wen Yanchen chimed in, "That's not impossible, but when it's finally opened, it will be after three or even four-fifths of the survivors on the surface have disappeared."

Moody had never been to the underground city and was very curious about what it was like.

She asked Ye Ling, "Lingling, what's the underground city like? Is it big?"

Ye Ling: "It's huge. Each underground city can easily accommodate another three million people. So there's no need to worry about humanity being wiped out, at least not in the short term."

After hearing this, Moody sighed: "At this point, it's all about luck and strength. Ordinary people won't be able to wait until the dungeons open."

Ye Ling held her hand and said, "The further we go, the more dangerous this world becomes. Ordinary people simply cannot survive. Even if you manage to survive in the extreme cold, when the high temperatures arrive, all the strange creatures will awaken."

At that time, let alone a single blade of grass, it wouldn't be enough to kill them; even swarms of mutated mosquitoes and flies could easily wipe them out. Tell me, how would ordinary people survive then?

Moody did not respond.

But the idiom "survival of the fittest" came to her mind.

At that moment, she deeply understood the meaning behind it.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Not long after Ye Jingyan and the other three left the base, Ye Boxuan suddenly braked.

Ye Tianfei's face nearly hit the back of the seat. He said speechlessly, "Second Brother, is this your first time driving?"

If it weren't for the seatbelt, he would have had a close encounter with the backrest!

Ye Boxuan said excitedly, "It's Lingling, they've arrived."

Ye Tianfei grabbed Ye Boxuan's arm excitedly, "Who? Who did you say came? Lingling? Where are they? Have they entered the city?"

Ye Jingyan took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and said to Ye Boxuan, "Drive to the city gate, we'll go meet them."

Ye Boxuan nodded. "Everyone, hold on tight." With that, he slammed on the gas, and the car shot off in an instant.

Upon hearing that Ye Ling and the others had arrived, Chu Moqing excitedly asked Ye Jingyan in the passenger seat, "Where's Xia Xia? Have you seen her?"
