Chapter 761 Planetary Self-Rescue
"The temporary station is now overcrowded. After the ground froze solid, I saw many people walking back with their families to their previous residences. Several families who had moved out of our community have already returned."
Li Qian calmly spoke about the situation at the base.
“Does the country have any plans?”
Lian Yi asked directly.
"Right now, we are still focusing on rescue efforts. After all, this natural disaster is not just a local issue, it is global in nature. We are an inland city after all. The coastal cities can be said to have been completely wiped out. There are corpses floating everywhere, and it is too late to rescue them."
Yuan Chongming said helplessly.
"Hey! What do you think this is all about?"
Zhao Jia said, pursing her lips.
"I don't know, but I know that the one left standing will be the king! Have you guys felt anything recently?"
Lianyi didn't want the atmosphere to be so depressing. People live for spirit and if they lose their goals, they will become confused and at a loss. Everyone had a goal before, but now a natural disaster has come, catching everyone off guard, and so many people died. It is inevitable to be affected, so she spoke out to interrupt the depressed atmosphere.
"Lian Yi, what did you find?"
Zhao Jia asked curiously.
"Don't you feel it? You are becoming more and more resistant to cold. Brother Yuan came back in the middle of the night a while ago. The temperature was almost minus 60 degrees Celsius. If you went out before, you would be frozen into an ice stick!"
Lianyi asked back while stroking the whirlwind.
"Oh, that's true! We came back after the sun went down that day. I was sweating all over, but I didn't feel cold at all."
Zhao Jia said very supportively.
"Yes, humans are the most adaptable creatures. We are gradually becoming more resistant to cold weather, which proves that our physical fitness is improving! Not only humans, but animals are the same."
Ripple said with a smile.
Then he placed the whirlwind in his arms on the coffee table for everyone to see.
"I feel that the whirlwind is much bigger than before, and it's because you feed it well."
Sun Weifeng said immediately.
Lianyi nodded, then grabbed one of Tornado's front paws and said with a smile:
"Tornado, open your claws and show off your nails!"
After listening to the request of his cat master, Tornado stretched out his captured paw forward, then spread his paw apart, revealing the nails hidden in the pads. The four people who saw this wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. Unfortunately, the next second, the four of them couldn't laugh anymore.
Because Tornado's nails have turned black and are extremely sharp, flashing with cold light, it is obvious at first glance that they can hurt people.
Jiayao was curious and reached out to touch it, but Xuanfeng meowed and quickly hid its sharp claws back into its pads. It looked up and called to Lianyi, and Lianyi let go of Xuanfeng.
"Jiayao, Xuanfeng's nails are very sharp. He is afraid of hurting you, not that he doesn't want you to touch him."
Ripple explained.
"Sister Lianyi, I know. Can I play with Xuanfeng for a while before studying?"
Yuan Chongming touched his nose, feeling that his nephew had said the opposite.
"Go ahead!"
Lianyi nodded, and Jiayao immediately smiled and went to hug Xuanfeng. As a result, Xuanfeng kicked his hind legs and jumped from the coffee table to the back of the sofa, then walked to Jiayao's room with a cat-like step, and Jiayao followed him happily.
"The cat scratching post I brought back from Mid-Levels Bayfront was torn apart by Tornado's two claws. He also knows that his nails are sharp, so he usually hides them."
Ripple explained with a smile.
Li Qian, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke:
"You mean this natural disaster is not accidental, but the result of the survival of the fittest and evolution."
"Well, this is my guess. The Blue Planet today is not the Blue Planet of thousands of years ago. Technology is becoming more and more advanced, but pollution is becoming more and more serious. A large number of creatures have become extinct, and non-renewable resources have been consumed. The pressure on the planet is getting greater and greater. Blue Planet also has life. In order to save itself, these are his countermeasures."
Ripple said calmly.
Global pollution is no longer a secret that cannot be told, especially after the Dwarf Country discharged nuclear waste water into the ocean, causing the death of a large number of marine organisms, and some of them mutated in order to survive.
These mutated seafood are caught and sold to humans for consumption, causing humans to mutate as well. This is a vicious cycle, and anyone who is not a fool can see it. However, you cannot stop certain countries from committing suicide, which has led to the current situation.
"Survival of the fittest! This is true in both nature and modern society, so I think Jiayao's physical training should be put on the agenda. You can't protect him forever."
While everyone was lost in thought, Lianyi made a sudden turn and changed the topic to Jiayao.
Yuan Chongming touched his nose and felt that ripples were waiting for him here!
"I know that in addition to academic subjects, physical fitness training should also be put on the agenda."
After blowing away the negative atmosphere, several people discussed going to the trading market to take a look.
In the end it was decided that Zhao Jia and Sun Weifeng would stay behind to look after the house, while the rest of the people would go to the market, and then they would take over later.
Jiayao was so happy when he knew he could go out too. He prepared his cotton-padded clothes and his skis early. He hugged Xuanfeng and muttered to himself for a long time and went to bed an hour earlier than usual.
The next morning, after they were ready, they left Building No. 4.
They are the celebrities of the entire Shanshui Huating community, and their every move attracts everyone's attention, so when they bring their families with them, curious people will immediately come over to ask the reason.
"The government has opened a trading market at the temporary station, allowing people to set up stalls and exchange goods. If you have things you don't need, you can exchange them for food."
Li Qian said concisely.
After hearing this, some people immediately turned around and went back to their homes to see what else they could sell.
Some people just wanted to join in the fun, thinking that if there were more people, their seats would be safer, so they quietly followed Lianyi and the others, ready to check out the situation first.
Li Qian knew that it was not easy for everyone to survive the three-month rainy season, so he deliberately slowed down his pace to help everyone find the direction. They did not walk very fast, and it took them three hours to reach the trading market.
Because of the sun, there were many people in the open-air trading market. A piece of rag was spread on the ground, and all the unused items were put out for sale. Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jade, which were the most valuable things before, were the least popular. However, as long as it was related to food, many people would inquire about it and exchange it.
Tornado, who had been curled up in Lianyi's arms, now showed his little head and was looking around, curious about everything.
Jiayao also looked around, feeling that everything he saw was new and interesting, but he remembered his uncle's words, so he held his uncle's hand tightly and followed the adults.
Lianyi stopped in front of a stall. She took a fancy to the books displayed there. They were all Chinese medicine books, old editions. The man guarding the stall was a man with half-gray hair and looked to be in his fifties.
"Miss, do you want any medical books? These are all genuine and unique copies. They are all good things. If you like them, you can just give them to me."
The man knew that these books were neither edible nor drinkable, and no one was interested in them after they had been on display for the entire morning. He was a little desperate, so when he saw Lianyi stop, he spoke immediately, fearing that she would leave.
