Meng Yang was the first to notice that something was wrong with Zheng Yongnian. He put a piece of food in Zheng Yongnian's bowl and said, "Eat quickly, you need to eat to have energy."
Zheng Yongnian picked up some greens from his bowl and put them in his mouth.
"This is the survival of the fittest, the elimination of the inferior."
Zheng Yongnian was still chewing his food when he slowly stopped and looked at Meng Yang beside him.
Meng Yang smiled, then placed another piece of meat into Zhang Yongnian's bowl and said, "Nobody knows what the future holds, but we still have to live each day to the fullest. We can't give up; we must persevere every day until the very end."
Amidst the rising steam, Zheng Yongnian's vision of Meng Yang's face became somewhat blurry.
But that didn't prevent his voice from coming through.
"Uncle Meng."
"We haven't given up yet, and we won't give up in the future."
"Yes, that's right." Tian Tian was quite confident about the future and responded to Meng Yang's words with great enthusiasm.
"Why should we give up? How can we give up? Right, Xiaoxiao?"
"Yes, we will never give up. No matter what happens in the future, no matter how many more people die, we will still persevere."
Cheng Shaolin has always supported Li Xiao, and whatever Li Xiao says goes.
He took a sip of his drink before slowly saying, "I don't believe this won't end, and I don't believe we can't win. Death is a normal thing; after all, many people can't adapt to the current environment. Without a stronger belief, it's hard to survive."
“Yes, survival of the fittest. Only by adapting can we survive better. As long as we live, there is hope, isn’t there?” Yu Yanbin raised his glass and said to everyone, “Come on, let’s hope we can live longer.”
Everyone raised their glasses, and they clashed together with a loud bang.
"Cheers, to the future, to living."
"Yes, in order to survive."
"Alive".
Nothing can stop us from living; it seems that living is a very natural thing.
Wanting to live and survive is perfectly normal.
The atmosphere was very strange.
It seemed lively, but beneath the surface of the liveliness lay a tense and oppressive atmosphere.
"Any further news from the base?"
“Yes,” Shao Jie said.
Li Xiao looked over.
"The base's research seems to have made a breakthrough, but we don't know exactly what it is."
When it comes to research, one cannot help but think of the team that went to the Beijing base.
They encountered a sudden change in weather on their way; I wonder if they are alright.
They probably all thought of them at once, and everyone stopped unconsciously.
"I don't know if they're alright."
Li Xiao patted Tian Tian's hand and said, "It's okay, they are all very strong, nothing will happen to them."
"Well, I hope so."
"Hey, it shouldn't be anything serious. There's an ice-type among them, and Yan Bin is a fire-type, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
Shao Jie, however, has great confidence in this team.
Yu Yanbin nodded and said, "I don't think there will be anything serious. There will definitely be difficulties, but I believe they can overcome them."
"Yes, I hope they are all well."
The group drank alcohol, ate hotpot, and talked about leaving the base and the uncertain future ahead.
This team happened to encounter a snowstorm. Fortunately, they had anticipated the possibility of weather changes and brought cold-weather supplies, which came in handy.
"It's so cold, I'm freezing to death."
"Yes, it's so cold. I didn't expect the temperature to drop so drastically."
"This is fucking inhuman life, it's so damn miserable."
"That's right, every single time it's been a life-threatening situation."
Everyone huddled around the fire, wrapped in blankets to keep warm, but even with the fire burning, they still felt very cold.
When the snowstorm hit, Yan Bin was awakened by the cold. He quickly woke everyone up and hurriedly rummaged through his spatial storage for supplies.
Some people were freezing to death, shivering from the cold.
Yan Bin quickly ordered the doors and windows to be sealed shut to prevent the cold air from getting in. He also hurriedly lit a fire to raise the temperature inside the room.
After all that work, it was almost dawn.
But all that awaited them was darkness, not a glimmer of light.
What happened?
"It's so dark, what time is it?"
"Is it still not dawn?"
More and more people are starting to panic.
People in the dark will only have their negative emotions intensified, and their inner unease and anxiety accelerated.
"Quiet, keep quiet. Calm down and see what's going on."
Yan Bin's loud shout silenced everyone.
Having experienced numerous unexpected events, Yan Bin was not overly alarmed by the sudden change in weather.
He did his best to reassure everyone and arranged everything in an orderly manner.
Finally, everyone calmly accepted the facts and quietly waited for dawn.
The temperature was dropping day by day, but the supplies they brought were far from enough.
With no other option, Yan Bin had to send people out to search for supplies.
Previously, no one wanted winter clothing such as cotton-padded coats, cotton-padded trousers, and down jackets.
Everything they had to eat and drink was looted, but these heavy winter clothes were easy to find.
Yan Bin and his men found some winter clothes in the nearby residential building, which saved them from freezing to death.
Five days had passed by the time the situation had basically stabilized.
During these five days, Xu Zehui, the captain of the Ice Blue Squad, looked around. He was an ice-type, and winter was his home ground.
"Captain Xu is back."
Upon seeing Xu Ze return, the others hiding inside greeted him warmly.
