Lu Yuan finally understood why the temperature had suddenly turned so cold when the glacier suddenly appeared on the sea surface; it turned out that the glacier was right in front of them.
Xiwen was panting heavily. Just now, because the ship was going too fast and the fog was too thick, they could not see anything more than ten meters away. That's why they almost crashed into the huge glacier. Fortunately, he spotted the glacier in time and turned the ship around. Otherwise, they might have been killed in the crash.
"That was terrifying! Thank goodness nothing serious happened!" Xiwen said, patting his chest as he looked at the towering glacier.
Lu Yuan was also very curious. It was the first time he had been so close to a glacier. He had always felt that seeing glaciers on TV was very impressive, but it was only when he was standing in front of an iceberg for the first time that he realized the wonder of nature and its magnificent momentum. Standing at the bottom of the glacier, Lu Yuan felt like he couldn't breathe, as if he was being trampled under the feet of a giant.
Perhaps Lu Yuan could learn the order and timing of these disasters by virtue of his rebirth, but he still had to build his own anthill everywhere to save his own life, just like an ant. However, disasters were everywhere all the time. Humanity's ruthless exploitation and destruction of nature made it seem like it was the master of the world, but it never imagined that nature could simply flick its fingers and send humanity back to a primitive state, or even wipe it out.
At this moment, Lu Yuan finally realized his insignificance, but also experienced how lucky he was to have a dimensional space and be reborn. Perhaps, he could save the human species on Earth!
However, Lu Yuan didn't have such lofty ideals. He just wanted to live and bring his family to survive. He didn't think much about anything else. As for saving millions of people in the outer city and those in the future base in the Rift Valley, Lu Yuan only offered a small helping hand, helping as many as he could.
Only now did Lu Yuan realize how insignificant he truly was. Faced with nature, he was like a grain of sand in the ocean, easily blown away by a mere breeze.
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yuan's thoughts began to slowly change. If he hadn't encountered the glacier, he would still be struggling against nature. But now, he was slowly developing a plan to protect himself. As for saving others, well, he realized he was truly powerless. All his previous thoughts were just wishful thinking.
Even if he could save a hundred, a thousand, or even ten million, what good would that do? He couldn't protect them forever. Disasters require everyone to share the burden, to grow together, and to become a group capable of resisting nature. Only in this way can we overcome natural disasters and survive.
Seeing Lu Yuan staring blankly at the glacier, Xiwen couldn't help but step forward and pat Lu Yuan on the shoulder: "Hey, bro, were you scared out of your wits? We're alright!"
Lu Yuan then snapped out of his daze, gave an awkward laugh, and looked at Xiwen, saying, "Sorry, it's my first time seeing a glacier, I'm quite moved! By the way, where are we now? How come we can see a glacier?"
After glancing at the GPS locator in his hand, Xiwen pondered for a moment and said, "According to what we knew before the apocalypse, we should be in the Jiangsu Province area!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief: "What? Jiangsu Province? No way, you can actually see glaciers in Jiangsu Province? That's unbelievable!"
"Sigh! Otherwise, what do you think caused this sudden drop in temperature? The ice caps at the North and South Poles have all collapsed, and these glaciers are drifting everywhere, which has led to a drop in the overall temperature of the Earth!"
Lu Yuan nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder the weather has been a bit abnormal lately. When did these glaciers start moving around so much? They're so far away, it must have started after the earthquake, right?"
"I can't be sure about that either. Anyway, it was a month after the earthquake. When I was helping to recruit people, I saw traces of a glacier in Heilongjiang Province. That glacier caused hundreds of thousands of people to freeze to death! I almost died there myself. So... we have to find Sister Han and the others as soon as possible, otherwise we'll freeze to death here!"
Lu Yuan nodded, then followed the other person off the boat. He then began searching into the distance, stepping on the thin ice. The extreme cold brought by the glacier had caused the surrounding seawater to freeze into thick blocks of ice. Although the ice blocks were not very large, they were solid enough.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan and his companion were dressed in thick enough clothes to withstand the extreme cold brought by the glacier. However, they were still worried when they thought of Han Wen and the others. After all, they had not been found yet and had not sent any information. If this went on for too long, the heat in their bodies might be taken away, and they might freeze to death on this icy sea.
So the two quickened their pace and began searching for a way out in the direction of the glacier. The only way to get out of the frozen ice was by cargo ship, but Han Wen and the others hadn't come yet. If they sailed away, the cargo ship might not be able to find them. So they had to lower the anchor and wait for Han Wen and the others to return before setting sail together. At this point, the small boat was simply unable to break through the hard ice.
The two of them began to walk forward, their steps uneven. The sea around them was shrouded in gloom, and they had to be wary of ice pillars or chunks of ice falling from the glacier, or ice holes coming from under their feet.
