She slept soundly, but outside, the whole world was undergoing earth-shattering changes.
A large number of plants and animals mutated, and after these mutations, they had to eat a lot of food. The food source was the most numerous humans. Overnight, humans fell from the top of the food chain to the bottom.
"Ah! Help! Monster!"
"Get out of my way! I'm your master!"
"You dare bite me! You're insane!"
"Help! What the hell is this thing?! Help me!"
"Ouch! That hurts!"
Shouts echoed throughout the Dragon Garden, some of the people being bitten by their own pets.
These mutated animals have just successfully mutated and need a lot of food to replenish their energy. If there is not enough food, they will suffer from extreme hunger. Some of them will lose their minds because they cannot endure it.
Some people have small mutated animals at home, and they may be able to kill them by fighting back desperately. Others are attacked by hordes of mutated animals, and unable to fight back, they are bitten to death.
This is true not only in Longyuan, but also in other places.
Of course, some mutated animals are good. Even when they are extremely hungry, they are unwilling to attack their owners, such as some dogs and cats. These animals that recognize their owners will protect their owners from being harmed by other mutated animals.
This is happening everywhere; there are mutated animals everywhere, and the smell of blood in the air is getting stronger and stronger.
Li Wei and others in Building 3 of Longyuan had already sealed off the windows and blocked the sewers, leaving only the main entrance to their home as a passageway.
In the past two days, they not only conducted a thorough search of Building 3, but also blocked the doors, windows, and sewers of Building 3 to prevent those mutated animals from breaking in.
Over the past two days, they have been exploring outside the city, trying to find a safer place. However, the outside world is no longer the same as before. Not only is the temperature extremely low and unsuitable for living in the wild, but there are also no fortifications. When they encounter mutated animals, they don't even have a place to hide.
For now, they can only stay in Dragon Garden and endure the harassment from these mutated animals.
"Daddy, I'm scared." DouDou huddled tightly in her mother's arms, her eyes filled with terror.
He didn't know why so many people were screaming pitifully outside, but he could sense that something bad was happening.
Qian Li stared nervously at her front door, holding Dou Dou tightly. She was also very nervous. She knew what was happening outside. The thought of huge animals like Afu and Ashou attacking people everywhere sent chills down her spine.
Li Wei stood at the door and peered out through the holes in the wooden windows. He saw many mutated animals trying to open the doors and windows of Building 3, but none of them succeeded. He then turned and left.
There are many living people in City B, so they don't necessarily have to look for food in this place. If they find that they can't open it, they will naturally leave and hunt elsewhere.
This is not a long-term solution; sooner or later, these doors and windows will no longer be able to keep out those mutated animals.
Li Wei frowned deeply. Based on his understanding of the authorities, they would not sit idly by. At least a small number of people were safe now, but where were those few safe people?
As dawn broke, the harrowing night finally came to an end.
At five o'clock in the morning, Lin Ruo woke up on time. She stretched in her warm bed, sat up, and noticed that the air outside was still a bit cold. Lin Ruo turned to look at the thermometer on the bedside table. The temperature in the room was -15 degrees Celsius. A small fire was still burning in the fireplace, about to go out, and the two electric heaters in the room were still running.
She sat up, put on her down jacket, and went to check the battery box. In two days, it had used 15% of the power, which was not bad. The battery box could last for another ten days or so.
Lin Ruo took a large wooden stump from her spatial storage and placed it in the fireplace. The fire in the fireplace slowly grew larger. She turned off the two electric heaters. During the day, the fireplace alone was enough to maintain the basic temperature in the room, so there was no need to make it too warm.
After finishing all that, she went outside, changed into her winter boots, and found the campfire on the platform had gone out. The temperature was very low, probably around -30 degrees Celsius. Her water-based superpower helped regulate her temperature, and she felt a little better.
Afu was licking its fur at the exit when it heard Lin Ruowei's voice and turned around to look.
Lin Ruo wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Afu had grown a bit bigger than yesterday. Yesterday it was 3 meters long and about 2 meters tall, but today it seemed to have grown even bigger.
Thinking of the energy rain that Afu and the others drank yesterday, as well as that highly nutritious bear paw, she immediately felt relieved. Experts in her previous life had said that these mutated animals obtain energy by eating, and the more energy they have, the bigger they grow, and their level will also increase accordingly.
Bear paws are such a nutritious food; they ate so much yesterday, it would be strange if they didn't grow bigger.
Afu got up and jogged over to sit down next to Lin Ruo.
She now has to look up to see Afu. The animal mutation has only just begun. How tall will they grow? Will she become a dwarf in their eyes in the future?
"Afu, you've grown taller than yesterday. Can we still eat bear meat today?" Lin Ruo reached out and scratched Afu's chin.
Afu squinted comfortably and let out a soft "Awoo".
Lin Ruo smiled and patted his long mouth. "I'll light the campfire first. You go and wake Ah Shou up for dinner."
"Awoo!" Afu ran to call Ashou.
Lin Ruo deftly took out the firewood from her spatial storage, sprinkled some diesel fuel on it, and lit it with a lighter.
The firewood, dried by Lin Ruo, was already highly flammable. With the addition of diesel fuel, the flames shot up a meter high, and the temperature inside the protective shield began to rise.
"Woof woof!" Ah Shou was woken up by Ah Fu's bark and ran out like a madman, circling around Lin Ruo and the campfire. The wind from its running made the flames of the campfire spiral upwards.
