The extreme cold that has lasted for more than two years is about to end. The temperature outside is beginning to rise slowly, and the snow on the ground is gradually melting and slowly seeping into the frozen hard soil.
Qin Ze was different from the joy of the people outside. He knew that even if the extreme cold ended, new disasters would come.
and……
Was it his imagination? Why did he feel that the few remaining plants outside had grown even thicker?
Some of them seem to be undergoing some kind of transformation.
"Those plants seem to have mutated. The melting snow is accelerating their mutation!" Wuxie, who had been observing silently, suddenly said.
During the extreme cold, they also wondered if plants would mutate, but when they looked at the light curtain inside the shelter, they only saw mutated animals attacking humans.
As for the plants, apart from some slight changes in color and body characteristics, they did not show any special conditions.
They thought it was a sign of plant evolution to adapt to harsh environments, but now it seems that it may be a precursor to mutation.
The attack power of mutated animals and their ability to adapt to harsh environments have been greatly improved. The same should be true for plants.
Qin Ze suddenly laughed. He controlled the light curtain and looked at some people hiding in the mountains.
Compared to the shelters built in the city, those guys hid in the mountains, where plants grew everywhere.
The dangers they will face in the future are much greater than those of people in the city.
There were mutant animals in the deep mountains that came to attack the base, but they were all driven away. However, if mutant plants were added, I don’t know if this base can be defended.
Looking at the people in the base who still knew nothing, they were still immersed in the glamour of money and luxury. It seemed that they had been protected too well for two years and lived too comfortably, causing some people to lose their vigilance.
If there was no smart person among them who noticed that something was wrong with the plants outside, then their final outcome would be obvious.
Qin Ze didn't have much sympathy for these people.
If that time really comes, maybe this will be retribution.
As the weather gradually warmed up, people took out the sealed seeds and circled a large circle within the base for planting.
"That's strange, why do these seeds seem to have grown bigger?"
Someone asked in confusion, and his words attracted the attention of others. Similarly, many people also noticed that something was wrong.
There were some clever people among them who, thinking of the subtle changes in the plants outside, had a change of expression. Could it be that the plants were also mutating? God really didn't want to give them a chance to survive!
As the weather gradually warms up and the extreme cold is about to pass, we didn’t expect that a new round of crisis is about to come!
Didn't they notice anything wrong with the crops grown in the base deep in the mountains? Yes, someone did notice something wrong.
But they didn't take these changes seriously at all. Some people even thought it was troublesome to report them, so they simply neglected their duties and ignored these changes, as if they had never happened at all.
Anyway, the fruits and vegetables grown before have not been eaten yet, so I will use those to make up for the shortage first. It will not be too late to report the situation when they are gone. I don’t want to add to the workload now.
Reporting and increasing the workload is one thing, but the main thing is that the superiors are not doing much now. If they report it, some people will directly put the blame on them, saying that it was caused by their improper care, and they will be wronged.
Although this kind of thing is outrageous, it is not impossible to happen. Before, there was a young man who discovered something unusual, but the people above him thought he was deliberately looking for trouble, so they demoted him to another place. The originally easy job became a dirty and tiring job.
Now the man has visibly aged several years.
It's really sad!
Generally, they report the matter to the higher authorities. When the person in charge knows that there is a problem, he will be implicated. It is normal for him to pass the buck. No one wants to take the blame and be punished.
For various reasons, no one reported the abnormal situation.
This also doomed the tragedy that was to happen next.
The base, which originally seemed very solid, had actually begun to rot from the inside.
About a month later, the mutated plants had become aggressive. Fortunately, the people in the shelter discovered them in time and cleared out all the nearby plants before they grew up.
They also planted similar mutated grains, fruits and vegetable seeds, but they sent people to guard them at all times because they did not want to give up a stable food source.
Plant them first and see if they are not aggressive. Even if they become unpalatable, they will live longer as long as they have something to eat.
The next disaster has already begun to be warned, and people's wishes are destined to be dashed.
However, they have never given up going out to search for more food, and the food they have obtained now is enough to sustain them for several years.
It is not a problem to not plant for a short period of time and survive on the remaining food.
In a few years, when the shelf life of some foods expires, they may face a food crisis.
People have discovered something very scary in recent days, that is, the daytime hours seem to be getting shorter and shorter.
In just a few days, there are only six hours left in the day.
According to the current trend, the duration of daylight is still decreasing rapidly, and it is possible that in the future, the world will fall into eternal darkness.
"Is the sun disappearing?" In the shelter, Qin Ze touched his chin and thought.
"Night is the best place for killing." Hei Xiazi suddenly said with a sneer on his lips.
If the entire world were plunged into darkness, without even moonlight, then if some mutated animals or plants in the dark attacked humans, the probability of humans successfully counterattacking would be greatly reduced.
Because they couldn't see clearly, the remaining resources were not enough to keep the shelter lit for 24 hours.
"Maybe they will undergo some changes in the future, such as night vision." Qin Ze said. Compared with other animals, humans are not so easy to become extinct because they have smart brains.
Besides, humans have always been a race favored by Heaven. Heaven will not necessarily destroy them and will still leave room for them. The supernatural powers they have awakened at present are the best proof of this.
"Do you think that if some of them have strong superpowers, or if there are enough of them, can they support the lighting of the entire shelter?"
