That night, a light snow suddenly began to fall outside. The sea, which had been surging during the earthquake, was now covered in a white expanse, like a giant beast that had been shackled again, retracting its fangs and revealing its harmless appearance.
Inside the fortress, Lin Ru slept soundly through the night and was woken up by her biological clock at five o'clock sharp in the morning.
After a quick wash, she went into the training room. After three hours of training, she was covered in sweat and looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost noon. The extreme heat started in the early morning of the third day after the earthquake.
That means there are only 12 hours left before the extreme heat arrives.
Afu and Ashou have already run out. They've been cooped up at home for days, so it's time to let them go out for a stroll. Anyway, there are still more than ten hours until the extreme heat, so there's no rush.
Lin Ruo dressed and walked out of the fortress gate. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but the temperature outside didn't seem so cold anymore.
A-Liu's willow branches swayed beside her. Lin Ruo walked over and watered A-Liu with lake water. A-Liu's willow branches wrapped around Lin Ruo's waist, lifted her to the highest branch and put her down. She also thoughtfully adjusted the distribution of the willow branches, carrying all the branches that were blocking Lin Ruo's view to the back of the fortress.
Lin Ruo smiled gently, patted the branches of the willow tree, sat down on the thick branches, and gazed into the distance.
At this moment, a thick layer of ice had once again formed on the calm sea surface, making it look much the same as it did before the earthquake and tsunami.
Extreme heat is coming. After the extreme heat, the moisture in the soil will be completely evaporated, and the huge cracks that were covered by silt underground may reappear, or even become wider and deeper. These are all potential dangers.
Moreover, after this tsunami, Lin Ruo, now at the seaside, dared not confine her thoughts to her past life. B City is a coastal city, and when it encounters various natural disasters, it is not exactly the same as inland cities.
She looked out at the distant sea. In her previous life, the most unbearable thing during the extreme heat was the lack of water. People would often fight to the death over half a bottle of water. But now, living right next to the sea, the residents of City B should all know how to distill water, so there shouldn't be any extreme water shortages...
Thinking of all this, she suddenly stood up, perched on the huge branch of the willow tree, and gazed into the distance.
Looking at these ice sheets below, and considering that ice isn't just on the sea surface now, but even more so in the Arctic and Antarctic, when extreme heat arrives, will the sea surface evaporate faster, or will the polar ice caps melt faster?
Given the sheer size of the ice walls in the Arctic and Antarctic, I'm afraid sea levels will still rise!
She looked down at the fortress below; its low elevation meant it would be affected no matter how much the sea level rose.
Even though she has water-based superpowers, she can't live in the water every day, so she needs to move before the sea level rises.
Turning her head to look at the Yanshan Mountains in the southern suburbs, she sat down again, her brows furrowed slightly. There were already two bases there, and moving back would always bring worries.
Lin Ruo sighed. No matter what, they had to move. Who knew how much the sea level would rise? City B was already at a low elevation, and the water level would probably be no less than during the rainstorm.
Having made up her mind, Lin Ruo stopped dawdling. The extreme heat was coming soon, and she needed to find a good place quickly.
Fortunately, she is a space-age ability user, making moving easy. Otherwise, just building houses wouldn't have been enough trouble for her to avoid these repeated natural disasters.
She jumped down from the willow branch, patted the willow trunk, and said, "Willow, you play by yourself for now. I'll go find the location of our new home."
Ah Liu's willow branch tilted slightly. A new home?
Lin Ruo went inside, took out a tablet from her spatial storage, and found the map of City B on it again. She wanted to find a location that would not be easily discovered.
The B City base is located in the southern suburbs, while the Qiyuan base is near the eastern suburbs. Both bases are situated on the sunny side of the main peak of the Yanshan Mountains.
Lin Ruo then chose the north side of another mountain peak. The two peaks were not connected at all, and were separated by a river a few meters wide.
This mountain is half the height of the main peak, only a few hundred meters high, but it covers a large area and stretches for hundreds of miles.
The temperature on the north side is lower than on the south side, the vegetation is not as lush, there is less direct sunlight, and the probability of forest fires is also lower.
Even if the two bases later chose to relocate to the north to avoid the extreme heat, they would still be separated from Lin Ruo by mountains, and with A Liu's willow branches covering the outside of the fortress, they would not be discovered.
As the water level rises, the distance between the two mountain peaks on the water surface will continue to increase. In addition, there are attacks from mutated sea monsters in the sea. Unless they have something they are after in that place, they are unlikely to go there.
Now that she's made up her mind, she'll start moving once Ah Fu and Ah Shou return.
Ah Fu and Ah Shou didn't return until almost noon, covered in mud, and hadn't brought back any prey.
Lin Ruo chuckled. It was rare for Afu and Ashou to return empty-handed. Today's incident was probably because the earthquake and tsunami had just passed, and those mutated beasts that had barely escaped were unlikely to return to the urban area of City B in the short term.
"It's okay if we didn't catch them. We'll move up the mountain today. There should be plenty of mutated animals there." Lin Ruo comforted them by patting Afu and Ashou's front legs. They were now nearly four meters tall, and Lin Ruo couldn't even touch their chests, so he could only touch their legs.
Ah Shou squinted, enjoying his master's comfort, while Ah Fu looked at Lin Ruo with a puzzled expression, "Awoo?"
Lin Ruo pointed to the distant sea, "The sea level will rise again soon, and we need to move to the mountains before the sea level rises."
After playing around with Afu and Ashou for a while, she put the fortress and Afu into her spatial storage.
The road conditions must be terrible, so driving is probably not an option. She used her mental energy to search through her spatial storage and finally found a motorcycle.
