Upon hearing the news, Lu Yuan was overjoyed.
You're saying the outside environment is already suitable for survival?
"That's right. During this expedition, we discovered many things we'd never seen before. The living conditions outside are now almost as good as those in the primeval forest!"
"What? We've reached a primeval forest? No way, are you mistaken? How could there possibly be a primeval forest?"
"Um... we've reached the primeval forest stage, but there's no forest yet! However, a large forest will appear soon! The data I collected before is all on the computer, but now our equipment has been taken away!"
Upon hearing this news, Lu Yuan was greatly encouraged.
If the external living conditions become suitable for human habitation, then it means that one's judgment has obviously changed from the original one.
At the beginning of the sixth year of the apocalypse, although the cold winter had not yet passed, everything was withered and virtually no living thing could survive the harsh winter. However, the message they spoke of was that the conditions had reached a level suitable for survival.
Could it be that my previous dream changed because of my appearance?
Lu Yuan was a bit confused, but all their equipment was currently with the Long Group, so Lu Yuan could only try to get the equipment back as soon as possible for comparison.
Otherwise, if we rush out based solely on this person's word, and if we encounter any real danger, we might never have a chance to come back.
"What else do you know about the outside temperature, the organisms, and other environmental issues? Could you briefly describe them?"
After lying on the hospital bed in deep thought for a long time, the other person finally spoke.
"We have surveyed a total area of about fifty kilometers, since there are still many places where the snow has not completely melted."
Although the outside temperature is still around minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius, the soil layer on the ground has undergone tremendous changes.
This change has completely transformed all the nutrients in the soil, and according to our observations, the activity of microorganisms within it is extremely frequent.
Lu Yuan nodded slightly and continued to ask.
"By the way, did you see any living creatures or plants?"
The other party gently shook their head: "No plants have been found yet, but some creatures have appeared, though they are all species like rats!"
After speaking, the other party looked up at Lu Yuan and said, "The underground fortress may now pose a great threat because the outside temperature is rising continuously. It used to be around minus forty degrees Celsius, but now it has reached minus several degrees Celsius!"
A large amount of melted ice water has been slowly seeping into the ground, and the place where we live is located inside underground rock.
Although there are huge layers of rock supporting this place, the immense water pressure might cause changes to the underlying rock layers. We need to leave here as soon as possible!
"Okay, thank you for the information, I understand!"
The doctor continued to examine the expedition members, while the others slowly began to regain their senses.
After some questioning, Lu Yuan received roughly the same information: the outside temperature was around minus twenty degrees Celsius, making it a suitable environment for human habitation.
Moreover, although the radiation dust from space is still there, the snowfall has stopped, and the ice layer on the ground has shown some signs of easing, which has led to the early arrival of the period of abundant groundwater.
However, Lu Yuan could not easily leave with his people without obtaining accurate experimental data, so he planned to retrieve all the data from the investigation through Feng Yuanheng.
The originally planned meeting place with Feng Yuanheng was forced to be changed due to the Long Group's attack.
Upon arriving at the designated location, Feng Yuanheng looked at Lu Yuan with an eager expression.
"Mr. Lu, I hope you can tell me the truth. What exactly is inside that device? And do you have any new plans?"
Lu Yuan picked up his coffee cup and took a small sip: "It's a survey report about the Earth's external environment! As for our plan, I can't tell you right now! But I'll let you know in advance!"
After a day, Lu Yuan figured it out: instead of lying to the other party, he might as well tell them the truth.
Of course, Lu Yuan couldn't tell the other party some secrets, because he didn't know what kind of force was behind Feng Yuanheng, and he wasn't sure whether the other party was good or bad.
Lu Yuan simply wanted to inform the other party about the external environment as well. After all, the underground fortress was now facing a huge crisis. If, as the explorers said, the rock layers changed due to the increase in groundwater, the entire underground fortress would eventually become a vast ocean.
Then Lu Yuan obtained some information and told it to Feng Yuanheng. When Feng Yuanheng heard this information, he immediately fell silent.
"Are the things you're saying... really true?"
Lu Yuan put down his coffee cup and looked at the other person with a serious expression: "I would not lie to you about something this big. The underground fortress is no longer a suitable place for us to live. We must leave here as soon as possible."
If you are able, please contact your superiors as soon as possible and have them arrange for the evacuation of personnel. Prepare for evacuation now, before the underground acceptance level changes; otherwise, everyone will be buried in the underground fortress!
