On the morning of the 57th day of the sea calendar, due to the strong winds and the need to keep the room warm, Gu Xi closed all the windows in the bedroom before going to bed last night.
She slowly woke up from her sleep, and with sleepy eyes, walked to the window and looked out. The sun was already shining brightly outside.
The seawater was calm, as deep as ever.
Gu Xi mentally assessed the situation and prepared to draw the curtains. Suddenly, some white objects drifted towards the Future with the ocean currents in the distance.
She looked closely, but instead of seeing what was floating towards her, she could see the seawater around the Future.
"Huh? What's this..." Gu Xi paused for a moment, then looked again, unsure. It seemed that tiny, needle-like and flake-like ice crystals were floating on the sea surface, shimmering in the sunlight.
She then slowly opened the window, and a biting cold wind rushed into the room, making her so cold that she quickly closed the window.
The sudden gust of cold wind made her hands and face icy cold. She quickly moved closer to the heater, and only after her body temperature returned to normal did she call over the octopus that was making breakfast, asking it to go to the third-floor awning to get the thermometer.
The octopus, which was frying eggs, let out two cries and used its two free tentacles to climb to the third floor and retrieve the thermometer from outside.
Gu Xi took the thermometer from the octopus's hand and saw that the temperature was -2℃.
Seeing the current temperature, Gu Xi was dumbfounded and couldn't help but complain in his heart: Even if the thermometer rose a bit due to the indoor temperature, this temperature is still too low! The temperature dropped very gradually a few days ago, why did it suddenly change overnight?
However, regardless of the temperature, what's coming will come eventually, so it's most important to relax. After sorting out her thoughts, Gu Xi got up unhurriedly, tidied herself up, changed into new clothes, applied frostbite cream, and then went to the dining room for breakfast.
Unlike other fish, the octopus eats everything. Gu Xi asked it to make breakfast, and it even included itself in the meal. So, one person ate breakfast on the table, while the other ate breakfast on the counter.
Gu Xi paused for a moment, then suddenly looked at the octopus. "The temperature dropped a lot last night. How are the other fish doing?"
The outside temperature must be lower than the thermometer showed, and Gu Xi was a little worried about the condition of ordinary sharks. After all, they weren't very powerful, and they couldn't be expected to be like sea monsters or boss-level fish.
Moreover, when the temperature is too low, the fish's activity level will be greatly reduced, which will also significantly decrease her fish's energy efficiency.
Octopus: "Chirp chirp." (Author's translation: The sharks have mostly stopped moving.)
Gu Xi nodded and continued, "What about sea monsters and the King Shark?"
Octopus: "Chirp chirp." (It's all normal, but it's too cold, so we'll eat even less.)
Gu Xi: "Any other changes?"
Octopus: "Chirp chirp." (The pheasants and wild ducks seem to be very cold; their nests need to be kept warm.)
The octopus looked up, thought for a moment, and then continued chirping. (There's no dew today.)
Gu Xi wasn't surprised that there was no dew, after all, the temperature was so low today, why would there be dew?
Gu Xi patted the octopus's head, expressing her satisfaction with its work. With the octopus around, her efficiency improved significantly.
After breakfast, she went downstairs alone and stepped outside. Although the cold wind was blowing, her new clothes were warm enough that she didn't feel cold at all.
Of course, just because her body wasn't cold didn't mean other parts of her body weren't affected. For example, a layer of frost had formed on the deck of the Future, making it somewhat slippery when she stepped on it.
The water stored in the water generator has also frozen. Although it hasn't completely frozen, if the temperature continues to drop, it will definitely become as hard as a brick.
Next, let's look at the items in the planting box. Some plants have already shown signs of stopping growth, while others look unwell and will likely soon suffer from a frostbite-like debuff.
However, she didn't see these problems as problems at all, as she had many ways to deal with them.
