Chapter 643 Keep a Low Profile
The surprise came so suddenly that Shen Yanming was stunned.
It was Li Gangtie who came over and woke him up: "Hey, what is our God's own son doing in a daze?"
Shen Yanming came back to his senses, frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Look at you. You said at noon that God had stopped the ice, and now it's gone in the afternoon."
Chen Yan rolled his eyes in understanding, "I said if, if, understand? I don't believe you haven't thought about it this way!"
Li Gangtie chuckled, "I thought about it, but I didn't say it out loud."
"Many people have spoken out about this. Maybe it's everyone's thoughts that moved the heavens, leaving a way for humanity to survive."
Shen Yanming's words successfully shut Li Gangtie up, because since the mission started in the morning, he had been hearing this.
"Don't say such things in the future. You know I don't want to attract attention. It was just a coincidence. Don't let those who don't know the reason make a big fuss about it and disturb the peaceful life of me and my wife." Shen Yanming reminded.
Li Gangtie nodded: "Okay, okay, I've never met anyone more low-key than you. But don't mind it, I was just joking."
"You can't even joke around. What time is it now? It's so sensitive! People are already in awe of abnormal weather. If you add some ghostly elements to the story, who knows how it will be spread.
If any serious consequences occur, you will become the root cause of the people's dissatisfaction, and you will definitely be dealt with severely."
Li Gangtie looked serious. He also realized the danger hidden in the joke and had to take it seriously.
"I understand. I will be more careful with my words next time."
Chen Yanming smiled and said, "But it's a good thing that the sky is not raining any more ice. Let's take advantage of this time to pick up the ice lumps."
"Well, hopefully I can collect more before they sublime."
"It rained for a whole day and night, and I don't know how much rain it dropped in total."
"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have realized it. It really seems like 24 hours. No more, no less. Oh, God, this is really interesting."
Shen Yanming smiled and shook his head, not commenting on it.
This is how their planet is. A natural disaster will occur every once in a while, and the previous disaster will come to an end.
It's very regular, and I don't know if there is really a heavenly law controlling everything behind the scenes.
Li Gangtie seemed to have thought of this as well. He asked Shen Yanming, "Do you think the impetigo will end after this snowstorm?"
Shen Yanming shook his head: "The impetigo will not end unless there is medication or autoimmunity. But the sun may return to normal."
"You have a point, but my face is covered with pustules, and it won't heal in a short time. Even if the sun is back, it won't do me any good."
"Why not? Without the constant stimulation of the mutant sunlight, maybe you can quickly recover to normal with your immunity?
Besides, at least your impetigo won’t get worse under normal sunlight. It won’t be like now, where you still have to be very careful even after applying the inhibitor.”
"Damn it, I actually forgot about the inhibitor!" Li Gangtie exclaimed, "The heavy snow has blocked the roads, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy inhibitors for a while. Oh my god, am I going to have pus all over my body in the next few days? God, are you trying to kill me?"
Shen Yanming rarely saw Captain Li so cheerful, and couldn't help but laugh. Then he patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. I have another one at home. I can lend it to you first."
Li Gangtie slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, your wife is not infected with the disease and she still shoots as usual. I used to think she was wasting resources, but I didn't expect that she could really come in handy at the critical moment."
Although Li Gangtie said it unintentionally, Shen Yanming took it seriously.
He was a little unhappy, and said with a sullen face: "My wife would never do anything unreliable. Even if she got the inhibitor, she would give it to someone in need. She didn't keep it at home to waste. Why do you care about her?"
"Well, I was just saying that. As for the others, they are probably a little jealous."
Chen Yanming sighed, "The topic has turned to the original question again. We are both so low-key, and there are still people who are jealous. You see, if you make a big fuss about it, we will become a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh of others!"
Li Gangtie shook his head. "If you are not hated by others, you are a mediocre person!"
You two are young, have a good relationship, and have status in the guard team. These are the best conditions for anyone. Isn't it normal to attract envy, jealousy and hatred?
To be honest, if he were not so old and had fought for many years to gain a place in the guard team, he would probably be jealous of this young couple who had only been there for less than a year but were being treated better than many older guards.
"I know that you two have obtained good treatment through your abilities, but people who don't know the inside story won't think so. They will speculate whether you have used a backdoor, and will suspect whether you have relied on some improper means to get to the top. This is the bad nature of human beings, and it's normal. We just need to stay away from it."
Shen Yanming understood everything, but he didn't want to live such a complicated life after his rebirth. As a human, it's good to keep it simple, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
Maybe this is because of different experiences and values.
The two of them discussed all the way until they reached the gathering place. All the people who had gone on the mission in the morning had already arrived, and they were all delighted that there were no more ice lumps falling from the sky.
Li Gangtie cleared his throat and said, "Don't be happy so soon. The next step is the most important thing. We must pick up the ice lumps in the snow in a short time, otherwise they will sublime and the temperature will drop sharply, and the living space of mankind will be squeezed again.
Maybe you don't feel much, after all, the house is still heated normally. But do you know how much more coal resources are consumed to maintain heating in this weather? Also, with the temperature dropping sharply, can those pipes really last until the end of the cold winter?
If we don't clear the ice quickly and wait for the power and heating to go out, it won't just be a matter of one or two people freezing to death. Everyone here could die in this blizzard.
Don't even mention burning coal or charcoal. I'm asking you, have you prepared before? If not, how can you get through the cold winter?
The escort team does have some reserve supplies, but they are limited and cannot be used casually. And even if they are all burned, they may not be able to protect all of us.
In short, the situation is urgent and serious. I believe you all know what it is without me having to say it.
I didn't say anything because everyone was a little lazy in the morning. After all, we couldn't pick up ice cubes as fast as they dropped.
But now it's different. There are no more ice lumps falling from the sky, so we need to race against time to quickly pick up the ones that have fallen on the ground and put them away to prevent the temperature from dropping further.
Although human power is weak and may not necessarily defeat nature, at least we have tried, right?"
