Hurry up, faster!
Jiang Miao held his breath and moved at full speed, flying the helicopter to the foot of a mountain before it became completely light.
This place is surrounded by mountains on two sides, forming an angle, which is relatively speaking the best place she can find to live nearby.
The sky brightened, and the blue planet, which had been dark for nearly a year, could finally be seen in its devastated state.
Just like in her previous life, without sunlight, photosynthesis could not take place and all green plants died without human intervention.
But fortunately, God still gave this poor planet a little mercy. Although the green leaves died, the roots and seeds fell into dormancy under a magical power, waiting for rebirth.
Jiang Miao seemed to remember that it would take more than half a year for the world to regain some green.
But at this moment, she looked up at this not-so-high mountain range, which was as bare as a loess plateau, exposing the brown and yellow color of the land, making people feel as if they were in a desert.
Without plants to retain water and soil, soil erosion would be extremely serious. It is no wonder that disasters such as sandstorms would occur.
After putting the helicopter into the space, Jiang Miao replaced it with a motorhome with the largest tonnage and stuck it at the foot of this hidden mountain.
"My Lord, please go in first."
This RV is the Mercedes that she hijacked from the Yuan family in Dongcheng. It is 12 meters long and weighs 26 tons. It can also store a sports car for convenient travel. It can be said to be one of the most luxurious RVs in the world.
The tiny particles in the sandstorm can be inhaled into the lungs through the respiratory system and cause irreversible damage. Jiang Miao took out the car cover from the storage room and put it on, and then put a layer of plastic protective cloth on the unattended areas near the ground to prevent the invasion of tiny particles.
After checking it again, she remembered that when she read the manual before, this truck seemed to have a real-time monitoring function.
She quickly climbed under the car cover and searched the car body, revealing the location where the camera was installed, and then used tape to seal the gap tightly.
"It looks like we'll have to stay here for a while."
Su Heng leaned back on the leather sofa and looked around at the interior decoration.
"Well, probably more than a month."
As she answered, she placed an air purifier at the front and rear of the car, and took out the hydroponic vegetables and potted plants that she had planted earlier, to barely consume some carbon dioxide.
The car has been kept sealed, and in two days we might have to use oxygen tanks inside.
Jiang Miao then turned on the screen in front of the right side of the driver's seat and observed the real-time images from the four cameras in front, behind, left and right.
Because I can’t connect to the Internet right now, I can’t view it from the cloud or the mobile app, I can only monitor it here in real time.
But after a moment, she felt that the screen in front of her seemed to be slightly yellow.
The camera facing forward is the most obvious compared to the others, like a dusk filter under the setting sun, or an old photo that is dozens or hundreds of years old, adding a hazy beauty to the picture.
Slowly, the yellow halo became larger and larger, and the color became darker and darker, transitioning from light yellow to dark yellow. The images of several other cameras also gradually began to turn yellow.
In the distant sky, Jiang Miao saw a sand wall hundreds of meters high, connecting the sky and the earth like a yellow-gray sky.
From a distance, it seemed that it was moving slowly. The quicksand surging in the wind wall was circulating in a depression, slowly swallowing up everything around it, expanding in all directions.
"Huh..." She felt relieved a little.
Compared with the previous life, this sandstorm occurred earlier, but it did not turn into high-temperature acid rain like the acid rain. There are uncontrollable factors involved.
The car had a relatively large space, so Jiang Miao told Xianjun to rest in the bedroom, while she would sleep on the bed a little closer to the front so that she could observe any disturbances outside in time.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
She had just laid down to rest for two minutes when unknown creatures outside the door began to hit the car body.
Jiang Miao sat up unhappily and turned to look at the surveillance footage.
I had the knife in my hand ready to go out and solve the problem, but I didn't expect that there was a skinny tiger with an obvious bulge in its belly at the front of the car. It was either ascites or a tumor, or she was pregnant.
How come the king of beasts is in such a miserable state in the apocalypse?
The tiger desperately rammed its head against the huge steel thing that suddenly appeared, as if it would die here if it couldn't shake the man off.
Jiang Miao sighed, put the knife on the back of his waist, put on N95 and windproof glasses, got out of the car, closed the door, and then opened the hood to get out.
"Woo, woo, woo..." The tiger let out a low growl for help, and even ignored the raw meat she threw out. It kept rubbing against her thighs, and the protruding bones hurt her.
I haven't petted a cat for a long time.
Jiang Miao rubbed its head. The tiger's fur was stuck together and tangled into balls. It was hard and rough and really didn't feel good to the touch.
"Don't you want to eat?"
Logically speaking, since it has starved itself to this extent, it should have no resistance to such fresh raw meat. How could it not even look at it?
Jiang Miao seemed to sense something, so he squatted down and touched the tiger from its head to its back, and then gently transitioned to its bulging belly.
“Ouch—”
It lay down, revealing a belly that was totally inconsistent with its dry body, and it stuck out its tongue and breathed heavily.
"It has run out of steam." The voice of the Immortal Lord came from the car, "It must be because of the child in its belly that it has endured until now."
After understanding the specific situation, Jiang Miao immediately took out the tent from the space and wanted to let it go in to wait for delivery.
But it seemed as if it could no longer struggle. It looked at Jiang Miao with its gray-black eyes and a pleading look, and a low, hoarse hiss came from its throat.
"Looking at you like this, I guess you don't have the strength to give birth."
Jiang Miao took out a dagger from his waist, cut the raw meat into small pieces and fed them to the cat. However, the cat seemed to be really unable to hold on. After eating only two pieces, its head fell to the ground and its belly began to rise and fall frequently, trying desperately to squeeze the baby out.
But giving birth is not like pooping, you can’t just give birth whenever you want.
The tiger's breathing became louder and louder, and the look in its eyes when it looked at Jiang Miao became more and more mournful. She seemed to be able to see pleading in the tiger's eyes.
To be honest, she had killed many people, but this was her first time performing a caesarean section.
But the yellow sand was getting thicker and thicker, and if we delayed any further there would be only one corpse and two lives.
Jiang Miao acted decisively, dragged the tiger into the tent, placed an air purifier next to it, put on gloves and began the cesarean section.
Seeing the cold knife cutting towards her belly, the tiger mother seemed to understand something. She did not resist, but stretched her neck and tried hard to suppress the pain.
Suddenly, Jiang Miao seemed to smell the familiar cool scent of cedar. The tiger mother also raised her head in confusion and looked at herself who was disemboweled.
It must be the Immortal who helped, paralyzing its nerves so that it could not feel the pain.
With the help of 'anesthetic', Jiang Miao cut faster and more decisively, and steadily cut through the skin, thin subcutaneous fat tissue and muscle, uterine serosa and myometrium. As the amniotic fluid gushed out, Jiang Miao finally touched the little tiger with the fetal membrane.
After cutting the umbilical cord, she tore open the amniotic membrane in the tiger cub's nasal cavity and shook out the amniotic fluid. After hearing the whimpering sound, she placed it on the tiger mother's cheek.
Although it no longer has the strength to do anything else, it can still lick the afterbirth off its baby and dry its body hair.
Until it was gasping for breath and its hands and feet were twitching and it could no longer lick, it used its nose to push the little tiger towards Jiang Miao.
This is entrusting an orphan to someone else.
The little guy looks only the size of two palms. Perhaps because it was born prematurely, its hair is still a little sparse. It is not very thin, after all, all the nutrients from the mother are used to feed it.
Jiang Miao always felt a little reluctant to give birth to the child she had delivered herself.
She leaned over and held the little guy in her arms. The tiger mother took one last look at her child before closing her eyes with regret.
As if sensing his mother’s departure, the little one cried restlessly in his arms.
Jiang Miao first took it back to the RV and placed it in a constant temperature incubator, then went outside and used his crude sewing skills to sew the tiger mother's belly inside and out.
Although she looked wrinkled, she really tried her best.
After the repair was completed, she simply cleaned the blood and dirt on the tiger mother's body with a wet towel, found a wooden box of similar shape and size to put it in, and then put it in the space together with her parents' urns.
Since she decided to adopt the little tiger, they will become a family. After settling down in the future, they can be buried together in a beautiful place with mountains and rivers, so as not to let it down.
The yellow sand outside was getting thicker and thicker, and the hundred-meter-high sand wall was getting closer and closer.
Jiang Miao put away the tent and purifier, took off his mask and goggles after entering the car, stood at the door and cleaned the surroundings and his body with a vacuum cleaner, then took off his coat and walked in.
The little guy seemed to be hungry. After all, he hadn't had a single sip of breast milk since he was born, so he kept crying.
But she was a complete novice when it came to raising children. She had never even raised a pet, let alone a tiger.
She couldn't find any guide to raising tigers on the library shelf, so she could only make do with a copy of "A Complete Guide to Raising Kittens". After all, they were all cats, so they should be pretty much the same.
"Goat milk powder..."
She searched in the space and really found it. She quickly took it out, mixed it with 40-degree water and helped the baby drink it with a bottle.
The little guy's eyes aren't open yet, but he's sucking on the pacifier very hard. Apart from being a little thin, there shouldn't be any major health problems.
Jiang Miao was feeding her baby while flipping through a book. The list of things to pay attention to for kittens was two or three pages long, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
It’s so troublesome to raise a cat, let alone a person.
Phew, luckily she never had such plans in her life.
After feeding, use a tissue dipped in warm water to stimulate bowel movements.
A little bit of light yellow liquid spilled on the nursing pad, and the little guy smacked his lips, his limbs collapsed, and he fell asleep.
Jiang Miao carefully put it back into the incubator, adjusted the temperature according to the recommended temperature, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"You won't be bored staying in the car this month." The Immortal King came over and gently rubbed the little tiger's cheek with his fingers.
Perhaps it was because animals were very familiar with innate spiritual energy, the little tiger rubbed his fingers unconsciously in his sleep, showing great affection.
Jiang Miao gently stroked from head to tail: "I'm just wondering how to spend the month trapped in the car."
After adopting this tiger, not only do I have to get up early and work late to take care of him, but I also have to think about how to expand the future underground radiation protection room.
This project will probably take more than two or three months, and we also need to carefully estimate the construction materials in the space.
He fed it twice on the way, and Jiang Miao saw from the monitor that the sand wall was very close.
The picture changes from brown to black and yellow, then gradually turns to black, and finally to complete blackness.
The car had been completely engulfed in the sandstorm, standing still in the howling wind.
