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 918 Little Ice Age
"A few days ago. Twenty or thirty people went there, and half of them were injured."
"Oh, now I remember, I was out for a walk that day and saw a group of people in tattered clothes walking towards the base hospital. I thought they were fighting, but I didn't expect them to be out hunting. If I had known, I would have followed them to see if they needed any help."
"I didn't expect the base to be so good. They actually wanted us to go hunting so that we can have a good New Year. I suddenly feel so happy."
"Yes, fortunately I insisted on coming back, otherwise I would have lived a hard life outside."
"Yeah, our base guards are all great, and Officer Wen is also a good leader."
Everyone stopped talking here because the program on TV changed.
To be honest, Teikyo was very considerate in arranging the program. They didn't mention everything on the list, but kept things like nuts and fresh fruits secret.
After all, it is understandable that the base leaders improve the living conditions of their people after the things are distributed. As long as they don't swallow all of it, it's fine.
Therefore, most of the audience were very grateful for the efforts of Dijing. Li Sikai also gained a lot of faith points.
He stood on the small hill that appeared when the space was last upgraded, watching the wonderful singing and dancing on the stage in the distance, and was ecstatic.
However, not everyone was in a good mood. For example, at some bases in remote areas, the top leaders were looking at the TV screen with pale faces, and their whole bodies were shaking like sieves.
I thought that the Imperial Capital would not care if they gave them the things, after all, the information communication was not smooth, but who knew that the Imperial Capital would be unethical and expose the matter to the public. In order to covet those few hundred kilograms of meat, they just ruined their future.
Originally, the residents of the base were praising tonight's dishes, but when they heard that other places had meat and they only had stews, all of which were vegetarian, they became furious and demanded an explanation from the base's top management.
What can the top brass at the base do? They can only promise to make up for it tomorrow. They can't start a war. That would be an even bigger crime.
Although it ended peacefully, it did damage his credibility. If I had known this, I would not have been so greedy. In the end, it was still hard for everyone.
Although these high-ranking officials had some complaints about General Li, they had to admit that he was sincerely serving the survivors. However, they were somewhat selfish and could not compete with him.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan ate delicious meals and watched Coke's show, thinking that life was pretty good.
After eating and drinking, the two of them took out the grape wine stored in the space and poured a glass each to enjoy. An An Nuan Nuan also imitated her parents, holding the goblet with her little finger raised, but the liquid in the glass was replaced with fat boy water and grape juice.
Well, the colors look similar, which is pretty fooling.
"Cheers!" The four of them raised their glasses and clinked them together. The crisp sound of the glass hitting each other was drowned out by their laughter.
The show on the tablet was still going on. The couple cleaned up the dishes and then sat back on the sofa to continue watching the show.
An An Nuan Nuan is young and is very active during the day, so she becomes very sleepy after nine o'clock in the evening.
The couple wiped their hands and feet, tucked them into bed, and then went back to the living room to chat.
"Have you noticed that the past year has been quite peaceful? Apart from the low temperature, there have been no other crises."
"Well, it seems that after the tsunami, the entire planet has become stable. I hope it's not a hidden crisis waiting for the right time to explode."
Bi Qiaoan chuckled: "I'm afraid your wish will never come true."
Shen Yanming also knew this, but this was just a beautiful vision, wasn't it?
"I'm worried that this year will be even colder. If the temperature continues to drop, not only will there be no summer, but even spring and autumn may disappear. By then, we will have entered a mini ice age."
"If humans can slowly adapt to the gradually decreasing temperature, what about plants and animals? I'm worried that the temperature will be too low, and crops like wheat and rice won't even be able to mature. If that happens, I can't even imagine it."
"Alas, there is nothing I can do. The direction here is completely unpredictable. It is completely different from the previous life. No, that can't be said. In the previous life, we didn't stay in the apocalypse for three years, and in this life, seven years have passed. I don't know when this apocalypse will be completely over."
"Who knows. If it weren't for the secret weapon of space, we might not have survived until today."
"Yeah, be grateful."
The two of them looked at the space filled with plants by Li Sikai and sighed.
"What do you think? Should we quietly take out some food, just like we did in Su City? Li Sikai... We seem to be too heartless."
Shen Yanming held Bi Qiaoan's hand tightly and shook his head: "Don't act rashly when the situation is not over yet. Even if you want to help them in the future, you have to find the right opportunity."
Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "I'm just saying it casually. Hehe, we really can't learn Li Sikai's spiritual realm."
"He has General Alliance Officer Li as his backer, and his identity and background do not allow him to be selfish. To be honest, if his uncle was not in that position, Li Sikai might not have told the story of the space."
Bi Qiaoan frowned when he heard this: "Tell me, why is the space opened by Li Sikai different from that opened by Yuan Ruoxi?"
"Maybe it's because of their different mindsets. Li Sikai is a man who can do great things. Just like upgrading the space, he is also required to do good deeds and absorb faith points."
"Do you think that if we do good things, will the space be upgraded?"
Shen Yanming didn't know what to say. He chuckled, shook his head and said, "It's not like we haven't done good things before, but have you seen the space upgrade?"
"No." Bi Qiaoan said as a matter of course. "It's just that I think the mountain inside has not been revealed yet, and it's very inconvenient that I can't control it with my consciousness."
Shen Yanming also knew it, but they couldn't do anything about it. After thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe, we need some kind of energy body. Just like energy rain, it can directly change the space."
Bi Qiaoan pretended to be helpless and sighed: "That's really something you can only encounter but not ask for."
After that, the couple stopped talking. They leaned together and focused their attention on the tablet again.
At this time, the Spring Festival Gala has come to an end, and everyone is singing the ending song with a smile on their faces.
But halfway through the song, it suddenly stopped.
The couple looked at the frightened expressions on everyone on the screen, and were stunned for a moment, then quickly focused their attention.
Li Sikai ran down the hill, saying, "It's okay, don't worry."
