Chapter 009 The Disaster is Coming
Because the software itself has certain functions of detecting the activities of planetary plates, it even has early warning information on geological disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis, which are of the highest frequency and shocking scale.
These natural disasters lasted for five years.
The reason why it is only five years is not that these extreme weather conditions will disappear after five years, but that this software can only predict within five years at most.
Even if the accuracy of the latter is not enough, it can be completely ignored with the previous examples.
The most important thing right now is that countless and continuous extreme weather events will occur in a few years? Is it possible?
Or in other words, is it really reasonable?
Lu Xuan confirmed with the people in the live broadcast room, "What is the probability that there is a problem with this software?"
This question can be answered regardless of whether you have heard of the Weather Companion system or not.
[After all, this is the work of a senior researcher at the research institute. The error rate is 0.001, and the data error rate will not be higher than 0.0001.]
When Lu Xuan heard this answer, his face suddenly became gloomy.
Very good, existence is reasonable, right?
The ancients had a very poor ability to deal with natural disasters. If they could not prepare in advance, one can imagine what kind of tragic situation the people of this era would experience in the next few years.
He thought he had experienced many thrilling scenes, and a small accident could not cause him much fluctuation.
But at this moment, looking at the endless red warning in front of me, I felt an uncontrollable anger and violence in my heart.
In the quiet mountain forest, an invisible pressure was centered on Lu Xuan and quickly expanded to the surrounding areas.
The creatures that were originally grazing, resting or hunting comfortably felt the approaching danger and suddenly panicked. Countless birds flew in all directions, and the roars of unknown beasts filled with panic and anxiety came from all directions.
The audience in the live broadcast room were startled by the noise.
What happened? What happened?
What happened over there? Why do the animals seem frightened?
[Could it be that some ferocious beast has come down from the deep mountains?]
Lu Xuan, who noticed the movement around him, paused slightly. He calmly restrained the leaked supernatural power and took a deep breath.
But after a moment, he couldn't help laughing.
Before the end of the world, he was a rich second-generation with money and free time. His only task was to spend money and eat, drink and have fun, but the coming of the end of the world ruined his life.
He thought that even if the environment in a new world lacked modern conveniences, at least he could live a stable life again, but then he got treated like this?
It’s really…very good!
For a moment, he really had the urge to think, forget it, let's all destroy it together.
But as his eyes inadvertently fell on the ring on his index finger, reason returned to his brain.
He closed his eyes to calm his agitated emotions, and when he opened them again he had completely calmed down.
He even survived the zombie apocalypse, so why would he be afraid of a mere natural disaster?
He has enough strength and the live broadcast system as an additional support, so it is impossible for him to give up struggling.
The reason why it is difficult to survive in natural disasters, in addition to the fact that it is difficult for humans to survive in extreme climates, is nothing more than insufficient supplies, and people die of starvation, thirst, and freezing.
As long as he can solve these problems, not only will survival be a problem, but he can also find ways to improve the quality of life as much as possible, fulfilling his long-cherished wish since the end of the world and living a stable and comfortable life!
...Having said that, he is not alone now after all, and he also has to consider Lu Qing, Lu Chen and the others, and he needs to plan carefully how to proceed.
While Lu Xuan was lost in thought, the live broadcast room also started its own discussion.
I thought Weather Mate was useless, but it's actually really useful!
[Is the host's team entering a planetary catastrophe? This is the first time I've seen data go all red. I've learned something new!]
"It's just a little bit higher or lower in temperature, is that a big deal? It can be fixed with a biosuit."
Are you stupid? There was no biological clothing in ancient times. Don't forget the harsh living environment of ancient humans just because we have a good environment.
[In ancient times, the human population was already small. After several years of natural disasters, the population is likely to have been decimated. It is unknown how many years it will take to recover.]
In fact, the Star Alliance does have newly discovered marginal planets that still need to deal with natural disasters on their own.
These planets do not have enough funds to purchase weather satellites, or can only use old satellites with damaged functions, and have to face natural disasters from time to time, such as earthquakes and tsunamis.
It’s just that because the Star Alliance’s buildings are strong enough and the life-saving equipment and resources are relatively complete, there is basically no threat to the lives of citizens.
But the situation in ancient times was different from that in the Star Alliance. Take the mud house in the host's house for example. Not to mention an earthquake, it would probably be blown down by a strong wind.
Lu Xuan came back to his senses from his thoughts and raised his head just in time to see his house mentioned, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He selectively ignored the audience's complaints, picked up the bled roe deer and the caught fish, and went down the mountain to go home!
Let’s talk about the natural disaster when we get back!
·
With the space ring, Lu Xuan put the two roe deer into the space when he went down the mountain. Living things could not be placed in the space, so in order to keep the fish fresh, he held them in his hands.
Despite the absence of large prey, the eight large fish weighing an average of ten kilograms still caused quite a stir again.
If he caught a wild boar or other meat, the villagers would definitely be reluctant to exchange it, but many people wanted to eat fish, especially those who had pregnant women or had just given birth at home. Fish soup was very nutritious, so many people scrambled to exchange things for it.
Because the fish is so big, basically several families have to share one fish.
Many people asked him where he caught it and whether they could catch it while changing it.
Lu Xuan did not hide it, "There is a water source about an hour's walk from the foot of the mountain. There are many big fish there."
The villagers were shocked when they heard this.
In one hour, wouldn’t we be deep in the mountains?
There are many ferocious beasts in the deep mountains, and the young villagers who were just about to make a move immediately gave up their attention.
They are the young and strong labor force in the family, but they cannot and dare not take such a big risk just for a few fish.
Some even advised Lu Xuan, "You were lucky this time and didn't encounter a ferocious beast, but you may not be so lucky every time. Don't take such risks in the future. You and Lu Chen are the only two brothers left in the Lu family. If anything happens to you, what will he do?"
The words were unpleasant to hear, but Lu Xuan knew that the villagers were concerned about him, so he didn't explain much and just nodded: "I know what's going on."
Fish requires more freshness than meat. Lu Xuan was thinking about the preparations before the disaster and did not plan to go into the town today, so he simply replaced most of the fish and gave a smaller fish to the village chief's family and the Zhang family as usual.
After a busy day, when Lu Xuan returned home, he only had a ten-jin catfish and an eight-jin black carp in his hands.
Seeing that he had a good catch today and was not injured, Lu Qing had a deeper understanding of her brother's ability and asked happily, "How are we going to eat this fish?"
Lu Xuan said, "Catfish is usually braised and stewed. Cut off the head of the black fish and make fish head tofu soup. If you can't finish the fish body in one meal, pickle it with salt and eat it tomorrow."
Lu Qing looked at the huge catfish placed in the wooden basin and the black fish head that was estimated to be more than three pounds, and was silent for a moment.
So, can you finish these ten pounds in one meal?
Once again refreshed my brother's appetite.
She rolled up her sleeves and said, "Okay! Chenchen, take a few eggs to the Liu family in the east of the village and buy two blocks of tofu. They just made some new tofu today. Buy some thousand sheets and yuba while you can."
Lu Chen, who was secretly poking the catfish with his fingers, immediately raised his head and said, "Okay!" and turned his head to get the eggs very actively.
It was quite troublesome to handle such a big fish. Lu Xuan didn't prepare anything and asked Lu Qing to do it. "I'll help you kill the fish."
"No——" Lu Qing was about to stop him when she saw Lu Xuan quickly grab the catfish, hammer the fish's head with his bare hands, and knock the struggling big fish unconscious with one punch. Then he quickly cut open the fish's belly to remove the internal organs and dig out the gills. His skillful movements made her subconsciously close her mouth.
In addition to helping kill fish, cut vegetables, and add firewood, Lu Xuan could also lend a hand. The brother and sister worked together and soon prepared a sumptuous lunch.
"The fish are hard to divide, so let's call my brother-in-law back to eat." Lu Xuan said, "It's very hot at noon, so it's a good time for him to come back and rest. The work in the fields doesn't need this much time."
In the past, Lu Qing might not have called him back.
It's not that she doesn't love her husband, but the family depends on the harvest from the fields to survive. The sun is a little strong, and if she gets too hot, she can just take a rest under the shade of a tree. It would be too time-consuming to go back home.
But Lu Xuan's performance in the past two days relaxed Lu Qing's tense nerves a lot, so she nodded and agreed.
"Chenchen, go call your brother-in-law back for dinner."
Lu Chen, who couldn't wait for dinner, ran out without saying a word.
Not long after, Lei Yan came back.
Today's menu includes braised catfish, stewed catfish, black fish and tofu soup, stir-fried bacon with green onions, stir-fried bean curd sheets, and minced meat and egg custard.
The mixed dish is still mixed cucumber, but yesterday it was smashed cucumber, and today it is cucumber slices mixed with bean curd sheets and black fungus, which has a different flavor.
The staple food is still a big bucket of fragrant rice.
Even though Lu Chen had reminded him on the way back, Lei Yan couldn't help but sigh when he saw the food on the table: "Such delicious food, I feel uneasy eating it."
How should I put it? It reminds me of the last meal of a death row inmate that I've heard people talk about before... ahem.
The audience in the live broadcast room is different.
[This is the kind of ancient eating show I want to watch! I hope the host eats like this every day!]
[It looks so delicious! My mouth is watering, slurp!]
What's the point of looking at something fragrant? Not only can you not eat it, you can't even smell it. What kind of suffering is this in the world?
[Something to watch is better than nothing. At least I, a mildly anorexic person, ate an extra nutritional supplement during the livestream today. It was delicious.jpg]
Lu Xuan picked up some food for Lu Chen while reading the comments.
Previously, he speculated that in order to enable the sharing of the five senses, he would need to unlock the live broadcast duration achievement, but this new function was not enabled when he reached the twenty-four-hour achievement. The next stage achievement requires broadcasting for 240 hours, which would take nearly twenty days if he broadcast for more than ten hours a day.
Is this what they call fast?
Tsk, the audience's mouth is a deceitful ghost,
They keep urging him to open a sharing app. Can he open it just by urging him? Just wait and see.
While everyone at home was busy eating, Lu Xuan suddenly said, "I'm going to go into the mountains again tomorrow."
With these two days of experience, Lu Qing and Lei Yan didn't think this was a big problem.
But then Lu Xuan added: "This time we may go deeper, and it will probably take a few days to come back."
Lu Qing and the other two were startled.
Lu Qing asked anxiously, "Why do you need to go for a few more days? Didn't you go deep enough to catch fish today? Do you want to go deeper into the mountains? It's too dangerous!"
Lei Yan also said: "Yes, Ah Xuan, I know you are capable of hunting wild boars, but there is no rush to make money from hunting. You will be gone for several days. We don't know if you encounter danger. What if... If you insist on going, I will go with you?"
Lu Qing frowned, becoming even more disapproving.
There are only two young and strong people in their two families, Lu Xuan and Lei Yan. If they go together, and something happens to them, what will happen to her and Lu Chen?
Lu Qing still wanted to persuade Lu Xuan not to go.
Unfortunately, Lu Xuan had made up his mind and was very firm. "I have to go. Brother-in-law will stay at home to look after my sister and Chenchen. Don't worry about me. I have enough strength to protect myself and I won't joke with my life."
The first disaster is only half a month away. Time is running out and he cannot afford to waste any time.
