Chapter 146
Ying Huai didn't know what Xiao Tiandao was thinking. While he was thinking about what Xiao Tiandao's purpose was, the official side was also busy.
Ever since they learned about the possible natural disasters that might occur in the future, they have been working at a high intensity.
Whether it is the people in the base or the people with special abilities who are taking people out of the base to search for resources in the secret territory, they are all preparing for future survival.
However, there are still some problems standing in the way of them, for example, there are people from the immortal cultivation world who have entered certain secret realms but no one knows where they came from.
They didn't know their strength, nor did they know how much chance they had of winning. In addition, there were many humans in the base behind the ability users waiting for them to return. Out of caution, they never dared to meet those people.
Over time, both those with special abilities and those who practice immortal cultivation knew that there were problems in these secret realms, but they did not know how long these problems would last.
They were concerned about the consequences of their meeting in the obviously unstable secret realm, so they didn't meet and fight in the secret realm.
The leaders in the base are aware of all this.
But now they only have vague guesses and cannot confirm them. It is futile to think more. The research institute does not have enough information and there are very few things that can be studied.
"Be careful of those people in the secret realm. Try not to come into contact with those who enter. Our world is already in chaos enough, and we can't withstand any more changes for the time being."
Even though this incident could very well become an opportunity, they couldn't take the risk.
If the people above them make a wrong decision, it is likely that many people will have to pay for it.
"Leader, we all know what you said, but the secret realms aren't just in Flower Country these days. Although things are chaotic abroad, there are still people there, and they won't contact us."
Captain Dai and his colleagues knew what the leaders said and raised a more realistic question.
"Our leaders are also thinking about what you're thinking. We've already tried our best to contact people outside and express our considerations. However, we're still unsure what they will do in the end."
Judging from the temperament of those people abroad, they probably won't take the considerations of the Flower-Growing Country into consideration, and taking risks may be their first choice.
Even if you have guessed their possible behavior, necessary reminders are still necessary.
Blue Planet is not just the Blue Planet of those people. The Flower-Growing Country is also on Blue Planet. If there is any problem, they cannot stay out of it.
We still need to prepare for the worst.
But even if the worst happens, what else can we do? We can only take advantage of the existing time to improve our own strength as quickly as possible and protect most of the people so that they can protect themselves in the most reasonable way when resisting those people.
As for whether they could place all their hopes on Ying Huai, they had thought about it at the beginning.
Later on, thinking about it, there were so many people practicing Taoism, and their specific strength was not clear, so they put all their hopes on Ying Huai alone. It was really unwise.
Ying Huai can exist as a trump card to reassure them, but he cannot completely leave the dangers they should face to others to resist.
Not to mention anything else, if they encounter foreign forces and face a crisis of genocide, will they help resist?
No, they are not in good condition themselves. The Flower Country can only maintain a relatively friendly attitude towards those foreigners now. There will be no other help. In difficult times, the best thing to do is to clean up the snow in front of your own door.
What's more, certain foreign forces are still eyeing the Flower Country and waiting for an opportunity to send someone in to cause chaos.
Having made a decision for the time being, they didn't dwell on it too much and went about their own business.
As for the signals sent out by the Flower-Growing Country in the international community, those who believe in them will of course follow suit. Even if they enter the secret realm, they will try their best to avoid contact with those people.
But some countries that are on bad terms with China do not believe this. They only believe in their own judgment.
So, when the temperature on Blue Star gradually rose and the water in the riverbed was about to dry up, they came into contact with those people in the secret realm.
There are good and bad people on Blue Star. How can they guarantee that the cultivators they meet are good?
They knew they couldn't guarantee it, but out of blind confidence in their current technological capabilities, they rushed in headfirst.
Unfortunately, they encountered an evil cultivator.
The secret realms of the cultivation world do not depend on whether the cultivator is a righteous person or not. Evil demons are not allowed to enter.
As long as your cultivation level is high enough and you are within the acceptable range of the secret realm, you can enter.
In such an unknown situation, exposing yourself will definitely make you a dead end.
Foreign forces do not think that they are just waiting for food. After seeing the methods of that evil cultivator, their first reaction was not fear.
Instead, they coveted the evil cultivators' cultivation methods.
Ask who gave them such courage.
It's because the spiritual energy on Blue Star has been reviving recently, and many people have awakened their abilities. They have tasted the sweetness of experimenting on those people with abilities, so when they see a possible direction, they want to occupy it without even considering their own weight.
The evil cultivator didn't know the language of the people there at first, so he couldn't understand them. So he chose to watch their behavior quietly and understand the situation.
But this temporary peace was interrupted by a small action of a busybody.
One of the people who was observing and studying the evil cultivators disliked that observing people talking and analyzing them every day was too slow.
I directly gave the evil cultivator a translator, thinking that he could ask him directly if he had any questions.
This action directly swapped their positions with that of the evil cultivator.
Since he could understand what those people were saying, and he could understand it later, why was he still standing there?
In addition, during this period of time, the evil cultivator had basically seen the situation in the underground laboratory clearly with his spiritual sense. To be honest, the behavior of these colorful monkeys was even worse than that of an evil cultivator like him, so he felt happy to deal with them.
In a very good mood, the evil cultivator absorbed all the abilities of the people and research objects in the underground laboratory and transformed them into his own cultivation. He walked out of the underground laboratory and stepped onto the ground again.
Then, he disappeared among the foreign monkeys who surrounded him and tried to control him again.
Within half a minute after he disappeared, the bodies of those who were just about to attack and control the evil cultivator slowly shriveled up, and the place in their bodies that stored their energy became empty.
They become food for others.
The evil cultivator, who was already thousands of miles away, received a ball of energy sweeping back. He tilted his head to look in the direction he came from, curled his lips, and put the energy away without caring.
"It's better than nothing. At least it's useful."
He whispered something, and then his figure disappeared again.
The Flower Country was unaware that a foreign force had provoked a killer god upon itself.
After a long time, senior leaders were a little puzzled as to why foreign forces were so quiet.
Normally, those people should find ways to cause more trouble for the Flower-Growing Country.
It's too quiet over there.
Such abnormal behavior made the top leaders of the Flower Country have a bad premonition, but because they did not know the inside story, they had to suppress that premonition for the time being.
The temperature outside has now risen to the point where it would burn an ordinary person to death if he walked outside for ten minutes, no, in less than ten minutes.
Arrangements are being made in all major bases across the country. As the temperature rises, there are insufficient materials to build heat-insulating buildings, so ordinary people will have no choice but to live underground so that they have a place to escape the summer heat.
The base was moved up the mountain after heavy rains flooded the land and it has never been moved since. Even though some people had suggested returning to the original site at the foot of the mountain to live, their suggestion was not adopted.
As it turned out, their decision was correct.
The authorities built the base on the mountain, and those who were capable worked hard to clear out the mutated plants and animals on the mountain. Combined with the defense of the locust trees, the area where people could live safely on the mountain base was greatly expanded.
This time we were able to arrange for the people in the base so quickly.
After all, it is very troublesome to dig a large underground project on the mountain, and the number of people that can be accommodated is limited. But if the people in the base can find a summer cave in the mountain where they can live, it will be easy to make arrangements for the rest of the people who cannot find one.
Normally, when facing natural disasters, there is nothing wrong with this arrangement, but there are mutated animals and plants in this world.
If the protection is not in place, it is easy to be attacked by mutated animals and plants that have not yet entered the secret realm to hide, or are unable to enter the secret realm.
The leaders of the base above are worried about this, but there is nothing they can do. Now the people have weapons in their hands and have a certain ability to fight against those mutated animals and plants, so they can just go out and live on their own.
The only thing they need to make arrangements for is that if those people go out, disputes or injuries may occur in places that they cannot reach.
Even now, with so many people living in one base and those with power watching over them, it is still common for the strong to oppress the weak, but this is suppressed by the strong management system within the base.
Once those people were scattered to other places on the mountain, the official people with abilities would need to manage them in a decentralized manner. As the area was large, there would be many places that could not be taken care of.
To this end, the top management specially asked the research institute to develop a mobile surveillance system.
Although we will not enter the new homes of the people who have just found them, we can still know the situation of other people who have left the base and settled in the mountains to the greatest extent possible.
Anyone who knew that there might be an official surveillance camera on the mountain at any time would not continue to cause trouble.
The same thing happened on the mountain side of Daxi Village. As the surrounding temperature continued to rise, the villagers prepared caves in their homes to escape the heat early on. By this time, they had basically already hidden there.
Of course, although the temperature below the cave is a little cooler than on the ground, it is not much lower.
There are still many elderly people on the mountain who are having a hard time.
Fortunately, there are many people with special abilities in Daxi Village, basically all types.
It's still possible to make some ice cubes to cool down in this weather.
As for Ying Huai, the others were also worried about him at first. After all, the weather outside was almost as bad as a steam oven, and they were also afraid that something might happen to their godmother.
Is it so easy for Ying Huai to get into trouble? After all, he is a demon plant. This temperature will not have much impact on him, and it can even lower the surrounding temperature within a certain range.
People can't go out during the day, but they can at night.
After the sun went down, the temperature outside gradually dropped, and the ground that had been exposed to the sun all day began to dissipate heat into the ground. They were in a stuffy cave, so instead of staying there any longer, they decided to hold some ice cubes and come to the dry tree at the entrance of the village to cool off.
"Ever since the weather got warmer, the number of mutant plants and animals around us seems to have gradually decreased."
During the chat, one of them said this, which instantly opened up the others' conversation.
"Of course not. We don't want to go out in the heat, so we're all hiding. Those mutant plants and animals have mutated to that extent, so of course they know how to find a place to hide."
The lady answered without hesitation.
"Even Ali and Hu Hu, who usually show up, have disappeared recently. I don't know where they went."
When it comes to mutant animals, they have something to talk about.
Daxi Village is the only place around here where mutant animals can live in such harmony.
Even in Daxi Village, there are rarely any mutant animals. How can others not be curious?
"I think I heard Shitou and the others say before that Alihuhu hated the heat here, so he went straight to the mountain behind to escape the heat."
The aunt, who had heard Shitou and the others mention this before, saw that the others were curious and couldn't help but share her knowledge with them.
She didn't know much, having learned it all from others, and now it was just right to share it with other people who didn't know anything about the situation.
"I heard there are a lot of mutant plants and animals on that mountain, some with particularly strong attack power. Will Ahri and the others be okay if they go up there?"
After hearing what the aunt said, the others became a little worried.
Although the other people in the village were a little afraid to get too close to Ali since he grew bigger, and they knew he was very powerful, they were definitely worried when they heard that he had left home to go to such a dangerous place.
"You'll have to ask Shitou and the others about the specific situation, but seeing as Shitou doesn't look worried at all, there shouldn't be any big problem."
The aunt who was asked first recalled the state of Shi Tou and the others when she asked the question, and finally gave her own judgment.
"That's good, but I'm a little curious, is there any place on the mountain over there where I can find some cool air?"
With the heat outside right now, even the mutant plants can’t stand it and have already disappeared somewhere.
That's a plant. After the mutation, it spends most of its time absorbing spiritual energy, and its demand for light has not decreased at all.
With such demand, they are willing to give up growing in the sun and avoid the scorching sun because of the rapidly rising temperature. This shows how serious this drought is for the entire blue planet.
"Yeah, the plants that could temporarily provide us with shade have almost all run away. The plants themselves can't stand the scorching sun, so where else can we escape the heat?"
Faced with this question, some older people don’t know how to answer.
They actually weren't very clear about it. They vaguely heard some rumors on the Internet, but they weren't sure.
The authorities have not given a specific answer. They said that it might mislead children.
It's not that they don't have the skill of talking nonsense. These days, everyone talks behind people's backs and spreads gossip that is completely different from the actual situation. They have also said this before.
But they are now staying next to their godmother, and there are younger people around them. If they say something wrong, they will easily be punished by their godmother.
So, it’s better to be rigorous.
Faced with these elders who remained silent at critical moments, others thought they had not seen the information online and made guesses.
Those secret places are no secret on the Internet.
The official has not stopped this kind of discussion, and many of the information about the secret realm is still provided by the official.
Because of the sudden disappearance of so many mutated animals and plants on Blue Planet due to the high temperature, many people speculated that those mutated animals and plants had entered a secret realm, otherwise there would be no other place for them to hide.
It is hot everywhere on the blue planet now, and the underground is only slightly better during the day.
The whereabouts of those mutant animals have been widely discussed on the Internet, and some people have suggested going into the secret realm to escape the summer heat like those mutant animals.
But as soon as it was proposed, it was refuted by other netizens.
Although the Flower Country now has capable people and the physical fitness of the people has generally improved, this improvement is not enough to support them to come out safely after entering the secret realm.
You can't let someone with special abilities enter the secret realm, carve out a piece of land, and then bring people in, right?
It's impossible to even think about it.
Not to mention the sudden appearance of those secret realms, no one can guarantee that after the people from Blue Star enter, the secret realm will remain on Blue Star to release them.
The door can be opened and closed within a time limit. Once inside, they will be faced with an entire secret realm of mutated plants and animals, as well as the native super-powerful monsters in the secret realm. It would be strange if they could protect so many ordinary people from being harmed.
Busily tapping on his phone, a young man listened to what his elders said and felt it was time for him to come forward and share with them.
His fingers tapped quickly on his phone, and after he had deleted a comment, he looked up at the elders beside him who didn't know what to say to them.
"Hey!~ Auntie, why are you worried about this? All the mutant plants and animals that can run and jump on our side of the mountain have run away. The same must be true on the mountain behind us. There is only a secret realm over there. There is no other choice but to go in."
After the young man finished speaking, he wanted to lower his head and continue his battle with the troll on his phone who was arguing with him.
"By the way, do you know what's going on with the secret realm on the mountain behind us? I heard that the secret realms in other places have basically been explored by the authorities, but the one on the mountain behind us has not yet been explored."
After hearing what the young man said, the other elders stopped dwelling on the previous topic and began to turn the topic to the secret realm.
"I'm not sure about that. As for the secret place on the mountain behind, I think asking Godmother or Shitou would tell me more."
In response to the questions raised by the elders, the young man who was still engaged in a century-long war with the troll on his phone shook his head and said he didn't know, but he also asked questions that could be answered for the elders.
After hearing his answer, the elders turned around and looked for Shitou's children.
The weather was so hot and they couldn't stay in the cave at night, so Shitou and the other kids also came out of the cave. I just don't know where they are playing now.
"These kids really don't mind the heat. Instead of staying in a cooler place, they can go play somewhere else."
After looking around but not finding the stone figure, the elders had to give up and stopped searching, and started talking about other topics.
Why not ask godmother directly? After all, they are sitting under the locust tree now, right?
If the godmother wanted to say something, she would have told them when they asked just now. After all, they were sitting under the godmother's tree now, and what they said was no different from whispering in the godmother's ear.
Since the godmother heard it but didn't respond, it means she didn't want to say it, and there was no point in them asking.
Where did these children go for the stone that they couldn’t find after searching everywhere?
They have now been taken to the mountain behind by Ali.
Ever since the weather got hot, the mutated plants and animals on the mountain have fled, and the mountain, which was originally full of green, has now become a little bald.
There were missing pieces here and there, and the mutant plants that stayed behind were wilting due to the high temperature. Even when the children like Shitou were taken by Ali through the attack range of the mutant plants, it remained indifferent.
Why move? They have already been dehydrated by this horrible weather. If they start another battle, they are really afraid that as soon as they start, the two mutant cats won't be able to fight back. They are really afraid that they will break right there due to lack of water in the branches.
"Ah Li, Hu Hu, are there really good things over there?"
Shitou walked next to Ali, and Huhu walked on the other side, watching the mutated plants around them with a fierce look, to prevent some mutated plants that had no clear understanding of themselves from attacking them.
Ali did not choose to answer Shi Tou's question, but simply sped up the process of taking him to his destination.
'Hurry up, we'll be there soon.'
Ali saw that Shitou and Momo behind them were walking too slowly, and was a little dissatisfied with their speed, and meowed to urge them to move forward.
"Right away, right away, I'll catch up."
What could Shitou do? He could only follow Ahri's instructions and speed up his pace.
He reached out and casually rubbed his head to shake off the sweat he had accumulated along the way. Then, Shitou, along with a group of children, continued running in the direction that Ali was leading.
When they arrived at the place, they found that there was also a locust tree here, but the height and thickness of the locust tree were not as strong as the one the godmother from Daxi Village wanted.
"Is this the locust tree that grew from my godmother's branches?"
The moment the pile of stones child saw the locust tree, he recognized it.
"Yeah, yeah, it must be. It's so cool~"
Xiao Ling'er observed the surrounding environment and found no mutated animals or plants that could harm the group of children. Then she walked towards the locust tree.
As soon as I approached the locust tree, a cool feeling hit me.
As of now, among the mutated plants they know of, only the godmother can use this ability to produce large amounts of cold air to lower the surrounding temperature.
Normally, whether it is a mutated animal or a human, some have special abilities and can make ice or something, but it is still very energy-consuming to make ice that melts slowly in such weather temperatures.
The ice-powered users in the village need to rest after making two blocks of ice before continuing, but my godmother keeps turning on the air conditioner without showing any signs of fatigue.
They looked so relaxed that it was hard for them to admit their mistakes.
Following Ali and the others all the way here, Shitou and the others' cheeks were red from the high temperature. Now they knew that the tree grew from the branches of their godmother, so there would be no danger and it would be cool. They didn't bother to listen to Ali's explanation of the purpose of bringing them here, and ran straight to the tree.
Ali also knew that it was very hot along the way, and Ali and Hu Hu were also hot.
In this hot weather, it and Hu Hu are wearing furs. It would be abnormal if they are not hot.
It's just that they have strong physical fitness and can endure longer.
After following the children to rest under the tree for a while, Ali began to stare at the secret realm door.
This door has not been here for a while and has grown a bit again.
It seems that there are no mutated animals or plants around here, and those that have are almost gone.
Ahri and Tigress can go in directly since the door has grown so big that Shitou and the others can go in as well.
However, Ahri was afraid that something might happen to Shitou and the others inside. This secret realm is still not stable, so it did not dare to bring Shitou and the others into it.
"Ahri, do you want to take us into the secret realm?"
For someone who has been to the secret realm, the stone was not surprised to see the secret realm.
I was just a little confused as to why A Li and Hu Hu brought them here instead of bringing Brother Ru Feng and the others.
Judging from the size of the gate, it doesn't look like they brought their children in because adults can't get in.
After Shitou asked this question, he just looked at the secret realm door curiously, waiting for Ahri's answer.
"You can't enter this door. It's unstable. You might be transported to an unknown place and unable to get out."
The secret realm in front of them is more dangerous than other stable small secret realms, so even though Ali and Hu Hu think they have some strength, they dare not take Shi Tou and others in to take risks.
"We can't go in, so let's go here..."
Before Shitou finished asking, he saw the door to the secret realm start to move.
Like water waves, the door began to ripple out from the middle, and a muddy thing came out from the door, and its appearance could not be seen clearly.
It looks familiar, but I'm not sure. I'll take a second look.
