Chapter 30: Accelerated Growth
After a night of heavy rain, a rare sunny day appeared. The sun hung in the sky, extremely dazzling. Qin Muxue stood on the rooftop and looked at the sun not far away. If she remembered correctly, these were the last few good days before the major disaster.
The city was in ruins after being ravaged by the tornado, with houses collapsed. They stood on the fifth floor and looked at the city that was about to be flooded from afar.
Captain Huang was very anxious. He could not receive any signal from the shelter at all. Qu Yanbai could only hand him a cigarette to help Captain Huang feel a little relieved.
"I didn't expect the tense to become so serious."
He shook his head and took out a photo from his pocket with some melancholy. It was a family photo of him, his wife and daughter. "I hope my family will be safe."
He joined the rescue team just to fight for a chance for his wife and daughter to enter the shelter. Even if he had to sacrifice himself, he thought it was worth it as long as they were safe.
Qu Yanbai took a glance and praised: "Your wife is very beautiful, and your daughter is very cute."
"Thank you." He forced a smile after hearing the other party's compliment. "My daughter used to have very good grades, but now with these disasters, I don't know when things will return to normal. Look, this city has become a ruin. The order of modern society has collapsed. It takes several generations of effort to build a city, but now I don't know how many people have died in this disaster."
Captain Huang sighed, and Qu Yanbai didn't know how to comfort him. After all, he knew that everyone would still be in various disasters in the next five years.
There will be more extreme cold and hot weather in the future, and the survivors will not be able to hold on, and the population will only decrease.
"Captain Huang, I have an idea." Qin Muxue saw that the two were chatting happily, "Did I interrupt your conversation?"
Now they have finished searching the furniture city. There are no supplies worth collecting, and Qin Muxue is no longer looking for mutated creatures. They should leave here.
As the water level continues to rise, this place will be flooded one day.
"Now that the rain has stopped, I think the previous heavy rain has diluted the acid rain in the flood. We should be able to try to get to the shelter and search for some supplies along the way."
Captain Huang had exactly this idea, "But we have no means of transportation. It's hard to reach the shelter with just a few oil kayaks, and there are unknown creatures in the water." This is the biggest crisis now.
Moreover, he could no longer wait for the rescue from the shelter. The water level was almost reaching the fifth floor. If it rained again at night, they would all be drowned.
He couldn't contact the other yachts either, and didn't know if they were in distress or had the same fate as them.
Captain Huang saw that the two of them were already talking about setting off, but they didn't even have a means of transportation, so how could they set off?
Qin Muxue calmly walked to the flood. A luxury cruise ship appeared out of thin air on the water. Its luxury was just like the cruise ships of the rich people seen in TV dramas. He opened his mouth in surprise, "Where did this appear?"
There were only three of them at the scene, plus a dog and a cat. Captain Huang had no idea how the yacht appeared out of nowhere.
"Captain Huang, do you remember the superpowers we mentioned to you before? One of them is the space power. Qin Muxue has this superpower. This is the yacht she bought before, and it just comes in handy now."
Captain Huang looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, "She actually has such a magical ability and can even store such a large yacht."
In the past, he would have thought that these were all lies and tricks, but after seeing the two people's special abilities and the cat that could grow big and small, he accepted it very quickly.
"But, Captain Huang, you must not tell anyone else that I have this ability. Just say that you discovered a yacht drifting by." She didn't want more people to know for now.
"good."
The remaining survivors were all very surprised when they saw the cruise ship appearing before them, "Captain Huang, where did this come from?"
"It must have floated over from some lake!"
This group of people had no common sense, so Captain Huang sent them back with a few words. Only Ding Manman and Grandma Qu knew what was going on, but they were not the kind of people who would talk nonsense.
When these people got on the yacht, there was just enough space for everyone. There was also a lounge under the yacht with beds for sleeping. There was also a small warehouse filled with all kinds of canned food and instant noodles, which were all prepared by Qin Muxue in advance.
As a young man, Lu Hui had been restrained, but when he saw such a luxurious yacht, he was the first to occupy the bed, "I'm very tired, let me sleep here!"
Qin Muxue was very dissatisfied with this. She snorted coldly, "The elderly and children haven't rested yet, and you are lying on the bed. Please make way. There is a mother who is in confinement here."
Seeing everyone looking at him with angry eyes, he originally wanted to argue a few words, but looking at Qin Muxue's gloomy eyes, he had an unknown fear of her. Besides, they had superpowers. If they used their superpowers on him, he would be in trouble. Now he could only live a peaceful life and protect himself. He could only come to the cabin reluctantly.
Qin Muxue gave the most comfortable bed to the baby. Qian Xinran looked at her with gratitude, "Thank you, Xiao Qin, I don't know how to thank you."
"You are weak, take your baby and have a good rest."
The cabinet under the bed was filled with baby supplies. "If you want to use these things, just use them! Anyway, there is only this little baby here, and no one else can use them."
There are also some dates, bird's nests and fruits. "And these, you can eat some to nourish your body."
"I really don't know how to thank you."
Qin Muxue actually had selfish motives as well. After all, this baby had fire abilities. In the Ice Age, fire abilities should have been a very useful ability, and people with fire abilities were extremely rare.
People with fire abilities have very high temperatures themselves, which not only allows them to maintain their own body temperature, but also makes people around them feel unusually warm. They are like a natural large heater.
Who wouldn’t love a large heater in cold weather with temperatures of dozens or even hundreds of degrees below zero?
Just like a person with ice power, who can emit bursts of cold air even in high temperatures, Qin Muxue decided that before the extreme heat comes, he must find someone with ice power to join their team.
Seeing Qin Muxue about to leave, Qian Xinran called her and said hesitantly: "The baby was born safely and can barely survive in this world now, all because of your help. He still doesn't have a name. Can you help me choose a name for him?"
Qin Muxue looked at the baby with eyes that seemed full of anticipation. This was a baby born with the power of fire. Although he couldn't control it yet, with gradual teaching, he would definitely become an excellent psychic.
"Let's call him Qian Yan (yan), three fires, following your surname. The sun is setting in the west, and the sun is looking back. Yan means shining and brilliant. I think it's a good omen. What do you think?"
Qian Xinran was delighted, "It sounds nice, Xiaoyan, come and see what name your godmother has given you."
Qin Muxue actually became the godmother of a little baby? This made her, who was always thick-skinned, a little embarrassed.
But she still picked up Qian Yan. As soon as she touched his body, she felt that he was hot all over. "This child is hot, as if he has a fever." He felt warm and soft in her arms, which made Qin Muxue unable to let go.
He is not naughty like other children. Instead, he is very sensible and obedient, and as lovable as a little angel.
"Originally I thought he had a fever, but his body has been so hot, and he is still eating and drinking, and he is in very good condition. Xiao Qin, do you think he has mutated too?" It seems that Qian Xinran also felt something and is a caring mother.
"Xiao Yan may have fire-related abilities. As for what they are like, we won't know until he grows up."
At this time, Qin Muxue discovered another strange thing, that is, the baby was less than a month old, but it felt like the size of a one-year-old child.
"You can see that he's growing very fast. I already had breast milk, and he drinks it very quickly. The milk powder is not enough for him. Fortunately, I can still cook some rice porridge for him."
Qin Muxue held Qian Yan and looked at him. He looked at her and let out a clear laugh. She had never been in contact with a baby in her previous life.
But she knew that if a baby was born, the shelter would take it away immediately and would not be left to be raised by their parents. Since then, she has never seen those missing children again.
"Under the current circumstances, it is possible for him to grow faster."
After all, no one knows what kind of superpowers he has evolved, but at this rate of evolution, he will soon be able to fight alongside them and protect his mother, which is also a good thing.
If there were more crystal cores, who knows what this child would become.
Qin Muxue checked the child's body and said, "You are right. This child is growing too fast, and he does have special abilities."
Looking at this fair and tender baby, he reached out and grabbed Qin Muxue's fingers, as if he really liked her teasing him, and he could even babbled and call out "Mom".
"Oh my God, he can call me mom now?"
A child who was less than a month old not only grew so strong, but could even speak. Both of them were so surprised that they were speechless.
"It seems the baby's growth rate has also increased."
As we all know, human cubs are not as strong as cubs of other animals after they are born. It takes about a year for them to learn to walk, which is a very strange existence in nature. It takes about three years for them to mature in language.
But now human cubs not only grow fast, but their language systems are also developing so rapidly, most likely to adapt to the drastic changes in nature.
