When Xie Tianlang came out after changing his clothes, he saw Xin Shangyuan holding his phone, looking down intently at it.
He peeked over and saw the four large characters "Ice Age" piercing his eyes.
"The Ice Age?" Xie Tianlang asked, his eyebrows already furrowing involuntarily.
Obviously, this blizzard makes it easy to associate disaster with the Ice Age, but if the end of the world really is an Ice Age, then that would be truly terrible.
A brief period of ice age and blizzards can be mitigated by stockpiling food, but if the entire world falls into an ice age, how long can humanity hide? Ten years? A hundred years? Or a thousand or ten thousand years?
Gou Fugui turned off his phone, stood up, and stretched his neck: "It's still uncertain whether an ice age is coming. Although it looks quite like one, let's observe for a few days first."
"However, what that science blogger I just read made sense. If a great ice age is really coming... then it would be best to move towards the equator."
Obviously, the further north you go, the heavier the ice and snow and the lower the temperature.
Xie Tianlang thought for a moment and nodded: "Then let Song Sanchuan make a sled by hand tonight."
In this blizzard, almost all means of transportation are unusable. Cars, trains, airplanes, and ships are all struggling to move. Only the ancient sled can still move freely.
Fu Guiyuan immediately gave Xie Tianlang an appreciative and knowing look: "That's what I was thinking too. I'm also planning to see if I can go out tonight. If the snowstorm subsides a bit, I'll go out tonight to see if there are any homeless animals huddled together for warmth, preferably the three sled dogs, so that we'll have sleds to pull tomorrow."
Xie Tianlang was referring to an electric sled; he'd never actually considered using the "Three Idiots" to pull a cart. After all, there aren't many people who truly know how to use dogs to pull sleds these days.
Moreover, the "Three Silly Sled Dogs" are called the "Three Silly Sled Dogs," but now they have become true pet dogs. In this city, are there still any Alaskan Malamutes, Huskies, and Samoyeds that can pull sleds?
Thinking of the husky Xie Tianlang couldn't help but think of Fugui, the husky that caused him so much headaches. He suddenly reached out and pressed his hand on Yuanyuan's heart, and said very solemnly, "Yuanyuan, don't let your husky Fugui out unless it's absolutely necessary."
He was really afraid that the sarcastic and stupid guy would come out again, and then lower everyone's IQ.
Fu Guiyuan tilted her head and squinted: "So you're complaining, huh?"
Xie Tianlang immediately shook his head: "How could that be? Haha, he's so cute and handsome, how could I dislike him? I just think we need to think rationally at this time."
"Don't you still have three more chances to transform? There are many other cute creatures that can withstand the cold, such as snow leopards, Arctic foxes, polar bears, and penguins. You could transform into any one of them and it would be great."
Gou Fugui glanced at the wolf who looked guilty and pouted, "You don't need to worry about that. I'll change when it matters."
However, having already saved the first five worlds, his "Cute Creature Handbook" has unlocked fifteen cute creatures with different bloodline abilities. These fifteen existing cute creatures are enough for him to deal with most dangers.
In this world, we can currently use the previously unlocked Husky Fugui. The talent bloodline that Husky Fugui possesses—the ability to unlock "Ice and Snow Leader" when temperatures drop below -30℃—should be usable in this extremely cold world.
Therefore, Gou Fugui does not plan to use up his three transformation opportunities too early. If Husky Fugui can adapt to the current icy and snowy conditions, he would rather use Husky Fugui to last until the end and then unlock the three cute little creatures at will.
In short, the opportunity to transform is reserved for saving lives, so it should be saved whenever possible.
Moreover, his "Handbook of Weird and Cute Creatures" does indeed contain several adorable creatures that can withstand extreme cold, so if this really is an Ice Age, he's not too worried about his survival.
The concern is how to end this world's apocalypse? Where is the world's core?
Gou Fugui pondered for a moment as he went downstairs with Xie Tianlang, and soon they arrived at the restaurant on the sixth floor.
The Wen family was already waiting for them in the VIP room, where twelve exquisite cold dishes were laid out on the elegant and luxurious dining table.
"Mr. Fugui, you've arrived."
Wen Boyuan laughed, then nodded to the waiter beside him: "The food can be served now."
The waiter smiled and said, "Enjoy your meal," before turning to get the prepared dishes.
There were eight people at the table. Not counting the two children, Wen Feilian and Wen Xingxing, there were actually only six adults who could eat.
Gou Fugui looked at the twelve cold dishes that had been served, including drunken shrimp, poached chicken, and cold-roasted foie gras, which looked very expensive and high-end. His habit of hoarding made him a little itchy to buy them.
Clearly, the dishes Wen Boyuan served were of very high value and there were too many of them.
However, Xie Tianlang and Song Sanchuan's combined appetite is enough for four people, and he himself can eat a lot, so he doesn't mention wasting food.
And if you can't finish it, you can take it home with you.
Although it's highly unlikely that Wen Boyuan's family will get away with it.
But when Gou Fugui looked at Wen Xingxing, whose face was round and tender like a big white dumpling, and Wen Feilian, who was eight years old and still a bit thin, he still spoke to Wen Boyuan.
“Mr. Wen, I understand your intentions. But I can't guarantee that we will stay here to help you forever. We have more important things to do here. If we don't go our separate ways in the future, you will have to rely on yourselves.”
Wen Boyuan didn't expect Gou Fugui to speak so directly, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he nodded solemnly and straightened up: "I know what Mr. Fugui means. I also know very well that it's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help, and I'm mentally prepared to deal with this disaster."
"But opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, aren't they? Since I have the opportunity and luck to get to know a few people, I must seize this opportunity so that I can at least have more ability to cope with unknown disasters."
Wen Boyuan pressed his temples as he spoke: "I believe Mr. Fugui also searched for information online after he returned. After I got back, I received a call from my father. He told me to stay in the hotel obediently and that the family would send a helicopter to pick me up when the weather got better."
"But now it's snowing almost all over the country, and nobody knows when this blizzard will stop. There are also rumors online that an ice age is coming, which makes me uneasy."
"It was only at this moment that I realized how insignificant humanity is when faced with natural disasters, even though I once thought our family was powerful enough."
"I just want to know, Mr. Fugui, what are your thoughts on the coming Ice Age? And most importantly, are you all going to the equator?"
Gou Fugui raised his eyebrows upon hearing the last sentence and swallowed the delicious drunken shrimp in his mouth.
As expected of the heir to a large conglomerate, his judgment and prediction of danger are indeed accurate.
"If the snowstorm subsides, we'll probably go. But if the snowstorm doesn't subside and the temperature keeps dropping, we'll still go."
Wen Boyuan's pupils suddenly contracted.
He turned to look at Song Sanchuan, who was eating heartily, and Xie Tianlang and Si Wuyai, whose eating posture and manners were very standard but whose speed was extremely fast. He found that none of the three of them had refuted Gou Fugui's words, so he understood that they were definitely going to the equator.
"...Will it really be that bad?"
Wen Boyuan picked up a sweet pastry for his daughter, his voice a little hoarse.
Gou Fugui looked at the cute little girl with big white dumplings again, "Let her eat as much good food as possible for the next few days, because we may not be able to eat it again. Also, it would be best to find two big backpacks and fill them with some high-energy food and lighting and heating supplies."
"Although the food in the hotel can last for two or three months, who knows what unexpected situations might occur."
Wen Boyuan took a deep breath, toasted Gou Fugui and Xie Tianlang, and then fell silent. He simply wanted to know their judgment and thoughts. Now that he had their answer, he needed to prepare for the worst.
"I will be prepared... I am still entitled to preferential treatment in this hotel for the time being. If you need any assistance, please let me know and I will do my best to help."
"I can give away anything in this hotel that isn't impossible to move to a few people."
As Gou Fugui rolled up the roast duck and drank the soup, he felt that Wen Boyuan was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, resembling Jin Mantang.
"You can also call your family and ask them to prepare more things."
Wen Boyuan nodded.
Wen Feilian listened attentively to his father's conversation with the long-haired young man. Although he was only eight years old, he could understand his father's worries and vigilance about the blizzard.
Wen Feilian looked up at the young man sitting there gnawing on a big bone, then at the tall man eating crab roe buns one after another, and tried to put a big bone and three crab roe buns into his own bowl.
He needs to exercise and eat more to protect his sister and mother, and not let his father down.
Gou Fugui couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth as he looked at the food the little boy had put on his plate.
Little rascal.
After finishing their meal, they should have gotten a good night's sleep and waited until the next morning to see if the snowstorm had stopped before making any preparations.
However, Gou Fugui and the other three still had their own things to do.
"I'll go ask the staff here if they have any tools suitable for making sleds, or if there are any car shops nearby. If so, we won't need to modify our stockpiled cars into electric sleds."
After eating and drinking his fill, Song Sanchuan walked towards the hall with a bag of fried pork ribs in his hand. Modifying a deluxe electric sled was a simple matter for him, except that the "sled floor" for decompression during skiing was not enough. If it really didn't work, he might have to go to the parking lot outside to dismantle the car. Tsk tsk.
Si Wuyai nodded to Gou Fugui and Xie Tianlang: "I'll go to the hotel shop and buy some medicine to prevent frostbite, as well as various cold medicines and the like."
If you go out and pass by a pharmacy, please pick up some medicine for colds and fevers, alcohol, and warm clothing. In extremely cold weather, people are very susceptible to frostbite, injuries, and fevers; these are all things to be careful about.
Gou Fugui nodded, remembering Song Sanchuan and Si Wuyai's requests, and walked to the hotel entrance with Xie Tianlang.
Then he realized that his plan to go out that night might not be so feasible—
The blizzard outside continued, and the crystal glass doors of the hotel lobby were completely frozen shut and could no longer be opened. Even the side doors that had been opened and could no longer be closed were now completely sealed off by the snowstorm.
He reached out and took out a small shovel to scrape off the frost frozen on the glass, and then discovered that the snow outside the door was already almost a meter high.
Gou Fugui: "..."
Maybe when we wake up tomorrow morning, the entire front door will be buried.
However, he definitely couldn't leave through the main entrance now. Gou Fugui noticed that the young ladies on duty at the front desk kept looking at him, and one of the waiters even came up to ask him if he needed any help.
Gou Fugui thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a toilet on the second floor? If not, is there one on the third floor?"
The waiter hesitated for a moment before replying, "There are restrooms on both the second and third floors. Would you like me to show you there?"
Gou Fugui pulled Xie Tianlang along, "Then take us to the second floor first."
The waiter nodded and led Gou Fugui and his companion to the restroom outside the second-floor buffet restaurant. As soon as they stepped through the door, a gust of cold wind hit them, and the waiter was surprised to find that the window of the second-floor restroom had been opened at some point. Although it was only a small window, about one meter wide, the cold wind and snow were still pouring in, and the snow had already piled up on the floor.
"Ah! The windows were closed at noon. I'm sorry, guests, how about I take you to the restroom on the third floor? I'll call someone to close the windows here right away."
Gou Fugui looked at the window, smiled, and shook his head: "No need, just leave the window open. Just close the bathroom door. We want to go out and check on the blizzard, and also take a walk around to see the surroundings."
Waiter: "Ah...this..."
What's wrong with these two guests? There's a gale-force wind outside that makes it impossible to walk, and snow that's freezing cold enough to kill someone, and they still want to go out?!
Gou Fugui raised his eyebrows: "No? If not, I'll call your manager."
The waiter immediately shook his head: "Sure, sure. It's not a big deal. I'll just talk to Manager Zhou in a bit."
He had witnessed the abilities of these two men and knew that Manager Zhou and Mr. Wen, a distinguished guest at the hotel, held them in high esteem and respected them greatly. Let them go out in the snow if they wanted; it had nothing to do with him anyway.
"Is there anything you two need me to provide?"
Gou Fugui smiled and said, "No need, you can go back. Just tell your manager Zhou about this, and don't spread it around. No matter when we come back, you don't need to worry about it."
The waiter nodded, then hesitated, as if to say something but then stopped himself: "...If..."
At this moment, Xie Tianlang had already jumped onto the open window and stretched out his hand to Gou Fugui, braving the wind and snow.
The waiter saw the long-haired youth laugh, leap up, grab the tall man's hand, and then wave it behind his back:
"Don't worry about us even if we don't come back."
Then their figures instantly disappeared into the snowstorm.
They jumped from the second floor of the hotel and landed directly in a snow pit that was one meter deep.
The thick snow kept them completely unharmed, but the biting wind and low temperature made Gou Fugui shiver as soon as they stepped outside.
Looking up at her wristwatch, the wealthy beauty hissed, "-42℃."
As expected, the temperature has dropped again. If this continues until tomorrow morning, will it drop below -50°C?
-42℃ is an extremely cold temperature. Even if people wear thick down jackets and wrap themselves up in layers of clothing, they will still feel cold at this temperature.
Even animals with thick fur, unless they live in the North or South Poles or nearby extremely cold regions and are resistant to low temperatures, would find it difficult to survive in such temperatures.
Even though Gou Fugui and Xie Tianlang are much healthier than ordinary people, they are now genuinely feeling a bit cold.
They could certainly wear a few more layers and go out like that, but...
Gou Fugui suddenly glanced at Xie Tianlang and grinned.
Xie Tianlang suddenly had a bad feeling.
Then, he saw his heart-shaped wrist slap! In the freezing cold, it transformed into something he couldn't control... Husky Fugui!
Xie Tianlang looked at the wolfhound that emerged from the pile of clothes, with its thick gray-white fur and ice-blue eyes. He admired Xin Shangyuan's beauty while preparing himself to endure ridicule and being made stupid.
However, after waiting for several seconds without the husky mocking him, he glanced at it with some surprise and found his husky, Fugui, standing tall and calm in the blizzard. When its extremely cold and clear eyes looked at him, they were full of arrogance and disdain.
"laugh."
"Did they think I was some kind of stupid idiot who'd lost his mind?"
"Look at this land of ice and snow."
The excessively handsome and beautiful wolfhound looked up at the sky and let out a long howl.
Don't compare me to him.
"Here, I am truly the king."
[Husky Fugui: Temperature below -30℃]
Talent Skill 3: Ice and Snow Leader has been activated.
Siberian Huskies, born of ice and snow, roam freely across the land.
"Let's go, next we'll go find the other underlings."
Xie Tianlang: "..."
Suddenly, I was stunned by his handsomeness.
