During the following period, Lu Yuan basically stayed at home.
To his surprise, the extremely cold temperatures he had previously experienced in his dreams only reached minus twenty degrees Celsius in the first half of this year.
However, the extreme cold temperature they are measuring here has now dropped to minus thirty-five degrees Celsius.
Lu Yuan guessed it might be due to their location in the Antarctic region. Before the apocalypse, his city of Qingshui also experienced a severe earthquake. However, its geographical location didn't seem to have changed much, and the tectonic plates hadn't drifted too far.
That area has a subtropical climate. Although it is near the sea, it has not experienced glacial activity and the temperature is higher than it is now. This is probably the reason for the difference.
Recently, all the forces seem to have calmed down a lot. Although the mining area is still in chaos, with a large number of people being temporarily executed or dying in the fighting, it is still in chaos and no leader has been elected to truly control the mining area. However, the situation is only internal, and the looting outside has stopped.
The biggest problems facing the entire island right now are, firstly, a shortage of clothing, and secondly, a food crisis.
Compared to other camps, Lu Yuan's camp was much better. Although the western area was in a state of chaos, and Lu Yuan didn't know or care about the specific situation there, the food in the eastern area was still being used in a planned manner, and there was enough to sustain them for a period of time.
Fortunately, when they encountered floods before, a lot of water was left at the bottom of the cave, so they haven't encountered a water shortage problem yet. What they lack most now is clothing.
Lu Yuan didn't actually intend to worry about these things anymore, but since he had already made up his mind, he couldn't just not carry it out. His family's worries made him realize that he was not an omnipotent superman, he was not a savior, but just an ordinary person with a dimensional space.
In order to ensure that the people in the camp have sufficient self-defense capabilities, Lu Yuan plans to have them select a few suitable managers so that he won't have to worry about the people's lives every day.
Although this move drew criticism from many people, Lu Yuan didn't care. He had his own life and his own family, and he didn't want these people to become his subservient ones. He wanted to protect his family well.
To Lu Yuan's surprise during the election, Du Heng and other administrators also expressed their unwillingness to continue in their previous positions, with some even preferring to remain at the bottom.
"Hehe, don't ask me why. I'm just too tired and want to rest. We can't always be running around for these people. I also want to live my own life. Besides, Yuanyuan and I want to have a child of our own. It's time to make some plans." Du Heng said nonchalantly, not particularly concerned about this matter.
Zhou Tong still decided to help with the training program at the camp, but he didn't want to continue as the safety supervisor. After all, it was a thankless task, and he felt guilty for not being able to keep an eye on his little sister every day.
As for Han Wen and the others, they all expressed that they didn't want to worry about these things. They already had their own superiors, although they couldn't go back now. But they were still trying to find a way, and Lu Yuan was helping them realize their wishes.
West District.
Baldy successfully became the boss of the West District. He now has absolute power over the entire West District and no longer has any of the previous concerns. If he still cared about Lu Yuan before, now he doesn't care at all, since Lu Yuan has already planned to cut off their food supply.
"Yeah, these bastards, if you want to take them, then take them. Leaving them here is just a waste of food. We'd feel more at ease if you took them already," the bald man said through gritted teeth.
Although he lost a group of workers, he was able to reduce food waste. It would be a waste for him to leave the food for these people to eat, so when Lu Yuan came to bring people, he naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
The weather was still cold, and most people stayed indoors. Lu Yuan, however, was busy feeding silkworms at home.
Hundreds of thousands of silkworms have already accumulated in his space. This is under Lu Yuan's best control. If he hadn't taken any measures, there would probably be at least several million or even tens of millions of silkworms in his dimensional space. Although the cycle between these silkworms transforming into moths is relatively short, their appetite is enormous.
Lu Yuan originally thought these silkworms only ate mulberry leaves, but he didn't expect that the starving silkworms, after drinking the water in the dimensional space, would also eat other leaves. The nearby melon vines and some fruit tree leaves were also damaged. Lu Yuan had a headache for a while. In order to get rid of these silkworms, he could only release their natural enemies.
However, he was still worried that if there were too many natural predators, they would proliferate unchecked. He released some of the birds that had been caged, this time choosing birds that specifically prey on silkworm moths.
These birds reproduce at a slower rate compared to other celestial bodies like silkworms. In fact, Lu Yuan had originally planned to raise geckos, but those creatures made him, a man, feel quite creeped out, so he did not choose to raise them.
He has now harvested a large number of silkworm cocoons in the dimensional space, and now he needs to process these cocoons.
