As time went by, the temperature began to rise steadily.
When temperatures rose to minus fifty degrees Celsius, some humans began to attempt outdoor activities.
-50 degrees Celsius and -70 degrees Celsius are different concepts.
By this time, the snowfall had mostly stopped. The surviving humans began to emerge from their homes in search of food.
Some survived by eating looted supplies, some by eating excrement, and some by eating corpses.
At times like these, almost no one laughs at others.
Those who can survive in this environment are the strong.
When the temperature rose to minus forty degrees Celsius, although the ice layer was still there, people began to wear thick clothing and expanded their living areas.
They tried to find green plants, agricultural seeds, and the carcasses of small animals.
And cockroaches also live alongside humans.
It must be admitted that these little insects are incredibly resilient. And upon seeing cockroaches, almost no one complains about their taste; many people are even eager to eat them raw.
They just removed the head and wings, and then ate it all up in one go.
taste?
At a time like this, who cares about taste?
The salt and oil secreted by cockroaches are the best supplements, not to mention the protein.
And the fact that cockroaches have also started emerging from underground also means one thing: animals are not completely extinct.
When the temperature rises back to between zero and thirty degrees Celsius, many hidden animals begin to emerge.
The most common animal people encounter is the rat.
No one expected that the mice would be so resilient in such an environment. Of course, they also faced a food crisis in the freezing cold.
However, rats are more terrifying than humans; when there is no food, they will directly devour the corpses of their own kind.
Humans were overjoyed.
The appearance of rats also signifies that life will slowly revive from underground. By this time, they will have learned how to find food.
Humans began to gather on the lake and break through the ice to fish.
People with ambition have even started learning how to grill fish.
Leaders at the top find surviving scholars, provide them with sufficient conditions to survive, and thus pass on their knowledge.
At this time, the known human population had plummeted from eight billion to less than five hundred million.
To be precise, it should be said that there are still 500 million more.
It must be admitted that humans are truly resilient.
In extremely cold temperatures, they would retreat to the deep mountains or live in a room with several people, huddling together for warmth.
When they were hungry and had no other food, they ate corpses.
Even so, too many people died from illness and freezing in the terrifying cold.
Furthermore, the violence that spread out of despair led to the deaths of many others.
Moreover, the vast majority of people survive, but die by suicide.
The psychological problems brought about by the apocalypse are very serious.
People who have experienced the baptism of modern industrial civilization simply cannot accept such a huge difference in their lives.
Women, in particular, couldn't bear the thought of men working so hard for food they used to look down on, and some even committed suicide.
Anyway, suicide is very easy nowadays. Just leave it outside in the wind for a day and it will freeze to death.
It can only be said that the sudden arrival of the apocalypse caused people to suffer heavy losses.
But there are still at least 500 million.
The reason so many were able to remain was because the armies in most places were still at peace.
The military already operates in harsh environments, and with the addition of high-tech equipment and modern military rations, it's normal that they can hold out.
Now that the elderly and infirm have been eliminated, and with temperatures rising, almost everyone who has survived feels that the future will be better.
When the temperature drops to minus twenty degrees Celsius, strong men begin to take off their heavy cotton-padded coats and wade into the icy water to fish.
At this time, men are the most important source of labor.
As a result, they gained a relatively high social status.
Of course, if you get sick, you will be abandoned unless you recover.
When it reaches minus ten degrees Celsius, it means that even women can go out to find food or play.
At this point, it had been eleven months since the supposed apocalypse.
Feeling stifled, Liu Shiyun and the others left home and went out to explore the entire city of Nanming.
They were very well cared for, and were fair-skinned and plump.
I was planning to take a stroll around the nearby area.
However, after seeing many ragged people and many corpses on the ground, he was so frightened that he ran back.
They almost forgot that at this point, there was no such thing as order.
Women with beautiful faces like them are basically the best prey.
Whether it's used for venting or for being eaten...
After this incident, Liu Shiyun and the others never dared to go out casually again.
I'm afraid the next time I go out will be after order has been initially restored in Nanming City. But that will take at least ten years.
With only a handful of survivors left in the world, the number of survivors in China is naturally pitifully small.
Under such circumstances, how could order be restored in a short period of time?
Because of the continued presence of the military, the world is now experiencing a terrifying gender imbalance.
It's fair to say that not every ten men can be matched with one woman.
However, this would not improve women's status; on the contrary, it would make their lives more difficult.
The vast majority of those who were enslaved, or even those who committed suicide to prevent themselves from doing so, had their hands and feet broken.
