Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 852 I dare not think

It was too cold that night, so they decided to wait until the show was replayed before going out.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan wanted to know the news of Qinghua Country as soon as possible, so they chose to eat in the cafeteria at night.

The New Year’s Eve dinner in the cafeteria was more sumptuous than usual, with dumplings, Yuanxiao, rice cakes, and fish on the window.

The couple made a portion of dumplings and a portion of rice cake and sat at the dining table, waiting for the Spring Festival Gala.

There were so many people at the scene that the seats were completely occupied. The chefs and waiters from the cafeteria also sat under the TV after the food was sold out.

The show started on time at 6pm. After the opening song, the host entered the program.

As in previous years, General Alliance Officer Li came forward to speak. His face was indescribably calm and resolute, bringing countless confidence to the audience in front of the TV.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan noticed that there was a young man among the group of big men. No doubt, it was Li Sikai.

In the past few months, the bosses have recognized the reality that Li Sikai's space is really only available to him, even though he cannot operate it with his consciousness.

Therefore, after discussion, everyone decided to let Li Sikai become the successor to the chief alliance officer, but this news has not been made public yet.

Li Sikai was extremely reluctant, but the space could not be separated, so he could only follow his uncle to learn politics.

However, he had made an agreement with the bosses that if the apocalypse ended prematurely, his status as successor would be invalidated.

The big guys all agreed with a smile. I thought to myself, what a little fool, he could hold great power, but he looked so uncomfortable.

The couple knew at a glance that the bosses already knew about the space, otherwise they wouldn't be so confident. Compared with previous years, the mental outlook has changed dramatically.

Li Sikai's life should be pretty good, he is probably worshipped by others. But there is a hint of sadness between his brows, it seems that he really doesn't like being restricted.

There was little singing and dancing this year. After all, we had just experienced a disaster, and no one wanted to whitewash the situation.

Chief Alliance Officer Li had several skits choreographed to expose the current social situation while also hinting to the citizens of Qinghua that the alliance had the confidence to lead them toward light.

The party lasted until half past eight. The couple picked up the two yawning kids and walked slowly home.

As soon as she entered the room, she turned on the light. The warm and dim incandescent light dispelled the chill of the night. An An Nuan Nuan shuddered and woke up.

Shen Yanming smiled and asked, "Do you want to play in the dream?"

The two babies' eyes lit up, and they took Bi Qiaoan's hand and said, "Mom, go in, go in!"

Inside, there were birds singing and flowers blooming, nothing like the white snow outside. Shen Yanming drew the curtains, turned off the lights, and the family of four entered the space.

The couple put light pajamas on the two babies and let them play by themselves. They put the ripe fruits and grains into the storage area, and then slaughtered and stored the cattle, sheep, fish and shrimp.

Watching the piles of food flying towards the transparent light curtain, Bi Qiaoan sighed: "If there were superpowers in this world, we could openly take out food to help everyone."

Shen Yanming sorted the things and put them away. His mind swept over the cars and yachts he had collected abroad before. He said with some regret: "I prepared very well at the beginning, but now, except for food, I dare not use anything. It's like all the preparations were in vain."

Bi Qiaoan smiled and shook his head: "Anyway, we got something real. Many people haven't even realized that the money in their hands has turned into a pile of useless waste paper or numbers. They should be crying out for justice."

Shen Yanming nodded and greedily took a breath of fresh air: "It's great, I have you, a child, and space."

Bi Qiaoan smiled, obviously agreeing with this statement.

It is said that spring comes after the New Year. After the Spring Festival, everyone’s face is obviously filled with joy.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were also looking forward to the early arrival of spring, the melting of ice and snow on the ground, and they could resume farming.

Moreover, the snowfalls in winter should remove a lot of salt from the soil. The salinity of the soil has obviously eased, so the harvest should be good this year.

However, the opposite happened. The temperature did not rise significantly until the end of February.

Everyone was stunned, even the big boss of the Imperial Capital began to panic. Is this planet going to experience an ice age?

But there is no reason for it!

People waited and waited, and finally at the end of March the temperature began to improve, however, it only rose to minus 14 or 15 degrees Celsius.

Chief Alliance Officer Li quickly found President Xu and President Tian and asked them what was going on.

The two bosses were also confused because no abnormalities were found in all aspects of testing.

Finally, President Xu suggested: "How about you ask League Officer Mao?"

Chief Alliance Officer Li frowned: "Ask him? He is not engaged in research in this area, how can he understand?"

Dean Xu wanted to say that he was not researching this either, but his dignity as the head of a comprehensive research institute did not allow him to say such a thing.

Dean Xu explained: "Before, the ocean anomaly was discovered by Mao Mengguan. Although he is not a professional, he has a great imagination. Who knows, he can really guess the result."

Chief Alliance Officer Li thought about it and decided to try his luck, and immediately called a meeting of the bigwigs. When a group of people gathered in the meeting room, everyone knew what they were going to discuss without him saying anything.

"General Li, please tell me what you think."

"I didn't. I just wanted to ask what you think, especially the Mao League officials. If there is no explanation, ordinary people will panic. The situation that we have finally stabilized may be disrupted again."

Alliance Officer Mao was still pretending to be indifferent, but when he heard what Alliance Officer Li said, he looked up suddenly and found that everyone was looking at him.

"What's wrong with me? Why are you looking at me like that?" Officer Mao felt uneasy and even his voice was trembling.

"It's nothing, I just want you to speak freely and express your feelings." Chief Alliance Officer Li said with a smile.

"I, I don't have any feelings. I don't even dare to think about it." Mao Mengguan was about to cry. He knew that it would not be so easy to get away with this meeting.

Chief Alliance Officer Li gently comforted him: "It's okay, just say whatever you want to say, let's talk slowly."

Mao Mengguan slumped his shoulders, looked at the expectant and playful eyes around him and said, "You can't just pull the wool from me!"

"You are the most imaginative person. It's okay. Just tell us your guess. It doesn't matter even if it's wrong."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Mao Mengguan said, "I didn't guess about the ocean incident earlier. It was because the earthquake widened the cracks in the seabed and the seawater poured in, causing the sea level to drop. I think the global temperature has not been able to warm up, which is related to this."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Everyone opened their eyes wide and waited for Mao Mengguan's analysis.

Mao Mengguan cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "Just think about it, the cracks on the seabed are widening, and the seawater is going in. What is it going in for? Is it to extinguish the magma?"
