Chapter 61: Going Out for Training
The weather is no longer hot, so there is no need for everyone to enjoy the air conditioning in the lobby. Everyone goes back to their own room and curls up in their quilts. The base has internet access so everyone can chat on their phones.
At eight o'clock in the evening, a notification popped up on everyone's phone: "The temperature is expected to drop significantly tonight. Base residents are requested to take precautions against the cold and keep warm."
In his previous life, Pu Zhi was still in Shuixi City at this time. He didn’t know whether Base No. 3 had sent this message.
She turned off her phone, took out a thick blanket from the space and placed it in Xiaoren's nest.
In her previous life, she didn't have a thermometer, so she didn't know how low the temperature dropped that first night. She only knew she was woken by the cold, and her feet, stretched out outside the quilt, were almost numb. After covering her feet all night, they finally felt a little better.
Pu Zhi locked the door, pulled the curtains tightly, entered the space with Xiao Ren, and used the listening conch immediately.
I didn’t have time to see Qingyin and Qianli the whole day today, and I miss them so much.
Qingyin: Xiaozhi, is it cold outside?
Qianli was standing at the highest point in space. When he saw Pu Zhi coming, he walked down slowly.
: This leopard has thick fur and is not afraid of any low temperature. If you are afraid of cold, this leopard can reluctantly sleep with you.
Pu Zhi stretched out his arms and embraced each of them, enjoying himself. "It's cold. It might drop to minus ten degrees Celsius tonight. Do you two want to sleep with me?"
Originally, I planned to rent a separate room so that Qianli and Qingyin could go out for some fresh air, but the situation in the base was different from what I expected. If I didn't join the hunting team, there would be many inconveniences.
But it’s not good to keep these two guys in the space all the time and let them adapt to the temperature outside. Team 2 has no tasks scheduled tomorrow, so we will take them out for a day to adapt.
That night, Pu Zhi fell asleep with a nervous heart, holding a leopard in his left hand, a dog in his right hand, and a vine on his head.
Although the cheetah usually communicates well with her, she would be in trouble if it gets unhappy and wants to bite her.
At night, with Chili's furry coat around, it was like having a big stove beside her. In the silence and the temperature dropped to minus 20, she slept soundly all night, even better than usual.
In the morning, Pu Zhi was woken up by Xiao Ren and Qianli licking her. Although Qianli had retracted the barbs on his tongue, it still scratched her face and made it hurt.
There was a regular knock on the door: "Sister Pu Zhi, are you awake?"
It was Zhao Yunyao's voice. Besides Zhang Xiaobai, Zhao Yunyao and Liu Chuchun were the only people living on the second floor.
Pu Zhi, who was originally in a daze, suddenly woke up, reached out to Qianli and Qingyin, and put the two guys into the space.
Seeing the yellow and black hair on the bed, she used a cleaning card. Under the control of her mind, only the room where Pu Zhi lived became clean, and Qianli's hair disappeared without a trace.
After getting ready, she stood up. The cold air made her shiver subconsciously. She casually picked up the coat on the bedside table and put it on before opening the door. She looked like she had just woken up and asked, "What's wrong, Yunyao?"
Seeing Pu Zhi wrapped up like a ball in a single layer of clothing, Zhao Yunyao gave her a thumbs-up in admiration. "The temperature dropped dramatically last night, down to -20 degrees Celsius! You're wearing such a thin layer, impressive!"
Pu Zhi smiled faintly, picked up her phone, and saw that it was six in the morning. It was already light outside. The temperature should have warmed up a bit by now, probably above -10 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, she would have had a hard time wearing such thin clothes for even a minute.
"Maybe it's because I slept with Xiaoren today, and it's furry and warm."
Hearing that Pu Zhi was sleeping with Xiao Ren, Zhao Yunyao was envious: "Not only does it have a dog, but it can also be used as a heater. If I see a cat or dog in the future, I will definitely catch one as a pet!"
Liu Chuchun also walked out of the room at this time, wearing two cotton coats, one long and one short. Even so, her tall figure could still be seen. Ordinary people would have turned into balls if they wore such clothes.
That’s right, it was the 1.5-meter-tall Zhao Yunyao in front of Pu Zhi.
Several people went downstairs together. Zhang Xiaobai and others were already sitting in the lobby, and the air conditioner and heater were turned on!
Mother Du couldn't sleep at night because of the cold, so she got up early and made a big pot of brown sugar ginger tea. When she saw the three little girls coming down, she smiled and brought them three cups of tea.
"Come and drink some to drive away the cold. Girls' bodies aren't as strong as boys', so you need to take good care of them."
The three of them took it. It was a little hot, so they used it to warm their hands first, and then drank it after it cooled down a bit.
The air conditioner was on in the hall and the temperature was maintained above zero. After a while, everyone warmed up and took off their outermost cotton coats.
Pu Zhi put down the empty cup and said calmly, "I'm taking Xiao Ren out for training today and will be back the next day."
"Woof!" Xiao Ren stood close to Pu Zhi and called out in agreement.
Xia Guang was the first to ask: "Why?"
He didn't understand. Even if he wanted to gain experience, he wouldn't have to stay outside all night.
"The weather has been strange recently, and I'm afraid it will last for a long time. Only the fittest survive, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. I want it to help me better adapt to the current living environment." Pu Zhi said calmly, touching Xiao Ren's head.
Although Zhang Xiaobai wanted to persuade Pu Zhi, after all, even if Xiao Ren was powerful, he could not protect her all the time outside.
But when the words came to his lips, he felt that he should not have any opinions about Pu Zhi, so he swallowed the words back and changed them to: "Then be careful outside and have breakfast before leaving."
The others thought that the captain would persuade Pu Zhi a few more times. Although they had only been together for more than two months, they knew that the captain was always thoughtful and would not take risks easily. How could he agree so easily this time?
Except for Zhao Yunyao and Mother Du who gave some advice, everyone else supported Pu Zhi's plan to go out.
Even if they disagree, what can they do? Are they really not going to let others go? They are teammates, not prison guards and prisoners.
And Pu Zhi is right, the fittest survive. If the weather really becomes so extreme in the future, those who cannot adapt will sooner or later be eliminated by the world.
The world has never actively adapted to humans, humans have only adapted to nature.
The result of forcing nature to adapt to humans is the end of the world today.
Although we don't know exactly why the zombie outbreak occurred, the most widely circulated explanation is that humans have excessively destroyed nature, so it is God's punishment.
The world's ecological environment has been severely damaged since the development of science and technology. From the middle of the last century to the 21st century, the environment has been facing huge damage every day.
Although humans have environmental protection organizations, they are a drop in the bucket compared to the entire human race.
Even though many countries are committed to environmental protection, they have to sacrifice part of the environment for the sake of development.
This is an unsolvable vicious cycle. Unless technology develops to all-clean energy all at once, the ecological environment will continue to deteriorate.
