I estimate that there won't be much change for another ten or eight years. Humans just have to adapt to this climate. There's no other way; thankfully, we still have electricity.
At least we have air conditioning, a stove, and firewood when it's cold, and air conditioning when it's hot in the summer. The real fear is that one day Mother Nature might go crazy and cause extreme weather; then we'll suffer.
Jian Ning searched through the original owner's memories. When she died, the apocalypse had not yet ended, so the original owner did not know how things would develop afterward.
Perhaps, it will take hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years for the world to return to its original state.
“Brother Jian, according to our lab professor, this extreme weather could continue for decades, so our generation may never see spring and autumn.”
In the future, maybe there will only be two seasons in the world. Will we, like dinosaurs, become what others call ancient people, or even fossils?
Cao Xue's words carried a hint of joking.
In truth, she knew that what she was saying was very likely something that would happen in the future. In this kind of world, you just have to live one day at a time, and thinking about so much is pointless.
"It's hard to say, what's going on over there?" Jian Ning had good hearing and heard a commotion coming from the base's main gate, wondering what had happened.
"Someone must have come over. By now, most of the people from Jiang City have been evacuated."
There was no one left in the city. I heard from people who came later that the monster was killing a lot of people every day.
Even high-rise buildings of more than ten stories couldn't stop them; it was all thanks to Xiao Lingfeng leading the soldiers in the army to form a hunting team.
It seems that each of them has superpowers, including wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, just like in fantasy novels, where they can use their own superpowers to unleash wind blades or lightning.
Anyway, they're all pretty powerful, and the military's researchers even extracted a nutrient solution from the monsters' brains that could evolve their superpowers.
So they've been staying there killing monsters, unwilling to come to the base.
This was the first time Jian Ning had ever heard of this nutrient solution.
I reckon it might be thanks to Fu Mengfan, that guy is quick-witted, or maybe there were other people she didn't know involved, anyway, he's pretty impressive.
If these monsters were in her hands, she would simply kill them and be done with it; she never imagined they could be used for research.
"Is that Miao Xin? How come she's lost so much weight?" Cao Xue suddenly stopped walking forward, looked in the direction of the base gate, and said to Jian Ning.
"Didn't they come?"
Jian Ning thought that if Miao Xin hadn't been eaten by the monster, she would have come over long ago. Someone as valuing her life as much as Miao Xin wouldn't put herself in danger.
"No, look, isn't that Zhang Xiaoqiang and Li Mingxuan?" Cao Xue felt a mix of emotions upon seeing her former lovers again.
During such a difficult time, he went to join Miao Xin and her group. In Cao Xue's eyes, he was a traitor, a despicable person. Thinking back on the sincerity she had given, she felt it was all worthless.
"Ignore them, none of them are good people." Jian Ning glanced around; several men were protecting Miao Xin in the middle, so it seemed she was doing quite well.
She has definitely lost a lot of weight; she must have suffered a lot along the way. Walking on foot in the freezing cold must have been incredibly difficult.
“Yes, they’re all birds of a feather. I’m truly ashamed to have classmates like that. Let’s go.” Cao Xue withdrew her gaze and led Jian Ning and Jian Anping to their dormitory building.
Miao Xin actually saw Jian Ning as soon as she entered the base. There was no way around it; that person was just too dazzling.
She stood there pulling a huge suitcase, looking very relaxed and comfortable. She was wearing a long, off-white down jacket and black high-heeled leather boots. She looked so clean and beautiful that she could outshine anyone else.
So I only glanced at it from afar and quickly turned my head away.
Her pride wouldn't allow her to meet Jian Ning right now. In her current state, even if she had Li Mingxuan's affections, what difference would it make? It felt like the two of them were no longer on the same level.
"Miao Xin, hurry up, we've finally arrived. You must be tired from the journey. We should have something to eat soon." Li
Mingxuan touched his now-flat stomach and said hopefully.
"Okay, if we're assigned apartments later, let's stay together and not separate."
Miao Xin was reluctant to abandon her key assistants. If it weren't for their life-risking protection of her in Jiang City, she probably wouldn't be alive and well now.
Didn't you see that Li Mingxuan is limping a bit because of one leg?
He was injured by the octopus monster while saving her. If he hadn't been holding a chainsaw and sliced the octopus monster in half, his entire leg would probably have been eaten by the monster.
With her head down, she hoped that Jian Ning and Cao Xue hadn't seen her, and quickly followed the crowd to her assigned accommodation.
Since it's impossible to build any more houses now, this group of people can only stay at the temple in the mountains for a while.
We'll figure out how to build our own house once the weather gets warmer. There's plenty of open space on the mountain, but habitable houses are really scarce.
Miao Xin really didn't expect that after finally reaching the base, she would still have to climb a mountain.
The terrain was steep. The mountain path was slippery, and there was thick snow underfoot. She ran out of strength after walking for a while and wished she could climb up using both her hands and feet, hoping to reach her destination quickly so she could lie down and rest.
Wu Zhiwen and Li Mingxuan carefully supported her.
It took us almost half an hour to reach the temple halfway up the mountain. Actually, there wasn't much room to stay, but at least there were walls and a roof to keep out the wind and snow.
The soldiers who led them there let them take their luggage and move into the empty room that the Taoist priest had vacated.
There's no problem accommodating more than ten people on one large kang (heated brick bed).
Those who were left could only rest on the ground or in a house where idols were enshrined.
There weren't any other good options, and besides, you had to chop wood yourself to start a fire. The people at the Taoist temple wouldn't provide that kind of assistance.
Because Miao Xin was a woman, everyone took care of her. All the women squeezed together on the kang (a heated brick bed), while the men slept on the floor, trying to squeeze everyone into one room.
Right now, we can't worry too much about whether it's appropriate for men and women to be crammed into one room. We're lucky if we have a place to warm ourselves by the fire. If anyone's being difficult, they can move out; nobody's going to put up with that.
Miao Xin understood how everyone felt, so she didn't say anything unnecessary and obediently went to lie down on the kang (heated brick bed).
As my body touched the warm kang (heated brick bed), I couldn't help but groan. It felt so good. I wished I could lie down there forever and never get up again.
