Chapter 466: Life under the ice

Seeing nothing left and right, Luo Yuan took his hand off the office and prepared to go to the volcano to inspect it.
There is a lighted heating lamp on the street. For example, the long dragons are always endlessly extended on the street. The presence of these heating lights keeps the temperature here and there at a temperature of more than ten degrees. It is hard to imagine that the outside has already Ice everything.
There are not many pedestrians on the road. Only the pedestrians in twos and threes have rushed through the passage. Of course, it is only two o'clock in the afternoon. It is not the time for eating. If it is a few more hours, it will become crowded immediately.
At the beginning, the city hoped that the city would implement a large canteen system in order to control food and vegetables. Although the situation has been greatly improved, the system has been maintained for various objective reasons and to avoid wasting materials.
After all, it is not only the sufficiency of food and vegetables, but also the need for a large number of kitchen utensils. In today’s situation, natural gas or gas is not thought of at all, and only electricity can be used. A variety of kitchen appliances.
With the current technical strength of Hope City and the reserve of materials, these are not all that can be done in a short time, and they are not necessary at all.
As for the scarcity of people on the streets, naturally, they are still in a state of martial law, and guards are everywhere on both sides.
This is also a no-brainer. As the nearby three city survivors migrated here, I hope that the city’s population will be in a big bang, and now I hope that the city’s jobs will not need so many people, even if it is to increase The employment rate, the reduction of the use of machinery, and the tinkering of the entire underground city, and the construction of infrastructure work, still most people are unemployed.
These millions of people are doing nothing at home, coupled with the natural conflict between the local population and the foreign population, this is undoubtedly a huge gunpowder barrel, and continued martial law has become what it should be.
And this martial law is likely to continue for a long time, until humans move into the spacecraft, and maybe it will gradually improve at that time.
......
Luo Yuan walked out of the dungeon
At this time there is heavy snow outside.
Since the disaster, snowfall has become very frequent. Snow is almost once every two or three days. Looking at the snow that is already one meter thick on the ground, it is clear that the snow has already gone down.
These snowflakes are grayish black, carrying a lot of dust, and have not fallen on him. The next moment, the surrounding air is slightly shocked, and the snow on the body is suddenly shaken by a will.
His feet were squatting, and the body suddenly rose like an arrow. Just a moment, the air made a sharp whistling sound. A sedimentary cloud was empty and empty, and the figure quickly turned into a small point, and the sky was rushing.
He first went to the crater that was blown out by several antimatter bombs and found that everything was well. The volcano underneath was completely frozen, forming a thick layer of ice, and there was no leaking steam nearby. Phenomenon, obviously the previous countermeasures are still effective.
Next, he turned around and patrolled the nearby volcano that was already erupting.
After half a month of venting, the volcano has gradually subsided. The original red lava has been cooled and covered by ice. In addition to the volcanic top of the volcano, there is no abnormality.
Luo Yuan sighed with relief. He had to say that this kind of bad weather was sometimes not worthless. The volcano was also greatly affected by the extreme cold of 60 to 70 degrees.
The area here is already in the wilderness. Originally this lively world, at this time in the eyes of Luo Yuan, a huge number of huge plants have been frozen by the gray-black ice, like a huge metal sculpture. Not the slightest vitality.
Looking at everything in front of me, Luo Yuan can't help but feel a little heavy.
He strolled in this forest, the originally dangerous forest, the bird singer who used to be a singer, has already disappeared at this time, comparable to the cold winter of the north and south poles, has wiped out most of the vitality here.
He stood still for a while and was just about to return.
At this time, Luo Yuan’s sharp ears suddenly heard a sound of Soso’s voice coming from a distance.
In his heart, he immediately dismissed his idea and looked at the sound. The sound came from five or six kilometers away, and the line of sight was covered by dense trunks. However, for Luo Yuan, who has four-dimensional vision, this tree trunk that blocks the line of sight. No effect.
I saw a mutant squirrel like a squirrel, carefully drilled out from the snow and ice. This is a mutant squirrel shaped like a squirrel. The half-meter-long body can only be regarded as a small creature in the mutant beast.
It is covered in beige thick, fluffy hair, which looks quite fat and looks like a round ball. It is obvious that even in this harsh winter, it survives quite well.
After it was drilled out, the small black-painted eyes were vigilant to look left and right, and the long red ears, turning flexibly, looked quite cautious.
After a long time, it suddenly ran fast, seemingly short limbs, but it was quite slow to run. It quickly climbed a nearby frozen tree, and the sharp nails were firmly nailed in the ice. So that its movements are unaffected and extremely flexible.
In a short while, it climbed into a depression in the big tree, which was obviously a hole in the tree. Then, the limbs flew quickly, and the hard ice layer was broken by it. For a time, the ice was splashed.
Soon it was made a small hole, the hole was very small, only let it go in and out, and then it was difficult to drill in.
Luo Yuan patiently waited for a while, seeing it for a long time does not come out, can not help but give birth to a little curiosity.
His body floated up, and he approached the big tree lightly and silently. His keen hearing suddenly heard a "squeaky" and "squeaky" sound similar to chewing.
Could it be this "squirrel" that still stores food here?
Luo Yuan feels interesting, but he does not want to disturb the eating of this "squirrel". After all, this is the first creature found on land except for King Kong after the disaster.
He continued to wait patiently for ten minutes. Maybe the squirrel was finally full. It re-examined from the inside. It first revealed half of his head, watched left and right, and waited quietly for a while. See no danger.
It finally got out, and then the paw gently stroked the surrounding snow, and re-covered the tree hole, then it jumped from the tree and re-drilled into the ground and quickly disappeared.
Seeing this, Luo Yuan does not feel strange. Compared to staying in a tree hole, the cave under the frozen soil is obviously much warmer than the tree hole.
When the "squirrel" disappeared, Luo Yuan curiously looked at the frozen tree. The ice layer on the surface was as thick as 30 centimeters. It was like a armor that wrapped the tree. He held the tree in his hand. The power is slightly spit.
This extremely cold ice layer is hard and fragile, and as soon as it breaks, the entire ice layer will be torn apart.
As a lot of crushed ice flakes off the tree, the original color of the bark is suddenly revealed.
The whole tree looks bare, and only the trunk is left. All the leaves have fallen off with the broken ice. Then, Luo Yuan cleaned up the ice in the tree hole that the "squirrel" had visited.
The tree hole was unremarkable. There was neither the animal's body nor the reserve fruit. However, he was surprised to see that the bottom of the tree hole was cut open by the claws, and the milky white juice was infiltrated.
He gently wiped off the juice with his hand, and suddenly there was a wood with a slight green color.
He was shocked. The inside of the tree was not frozen. It was still alive. At this time, it seemed to hibernate, suspended most of the metabolism, and quietly waited for the sun to come to the earth again.
The vitality of these plants is stronger than imagined, but Luo Yuan thinks that these lives are not ordinary life, but some mutated lives, and even some life is beyond the common sense. It is not the same before the end of the world.
This discovery made Luo Yuan feel excited.
Although in order to avoid the threat of the Bolivia, he has already decided to let humans temporarily leave the earth and head to the universe, but the earth will eventually be the human mother star. One day, mankind will return.
This day may be a long time, but Luo Yuan is extremely convinced of this.
......
Luo Yuan left the big tree and continued to view it nearby.
He found that more and more big trees are still alive. In general, the higher the level, the larger the trees, the more resistant they are to this harsh environment, and some low-level trees and most shrubs are already Death under extreme cold.
During this period, he discovered sporadically that some trees even developed a unique evolution in order to withstand the cold winter.
In particular, one of them was full of steaming heat. Around it, Luo Yuan could hardly see the slightest snow and ice. Its tree body was not as bare as other plants, but it seemed to be leafy. The vibrant scene, the umbrella cover formed by the branches seems to cover a few kilometers of a huge green network, and in this endless silence, it stands out.
Its existence completely forms a shelter for living things, and a simple and fragile ecological chain.
The whole tree is full of birds and beasts. The density of the creatures is almost staggering. Fortunately, this tree is big enough to be a small forest, otherwise it will not be able to bear such a burden.
Of course, such a biological shelter is not the only one. In the high-altitude flight, Luo Yuan found some areas. Although there is no similar evolution in plants, due to the special geographical environment, some areas emit a lot of geothermal heat, which leads to the formation of unique The oasis, in this deadly forbidden zone, forms a miracle of life.
However, most of these oases are too small. Luo Yuan found that the largest area is only a few hundred square kilometers. As for small, even hundreds of square meters, the endless death is the most common color.
Unconsciously, Luo Yuan has come to the ocean. He has subconsciously stopped, his eyes are slightly enlarged, and everything in front of him is a very shocking sight.
I saw that the entire ocean has been frozen, but this is not the reason why Luo Yuan was shocked.
He slowly fell and stood on the shoreline.
Nowadays, the land and sea have been frozen, but Luo Yuan still sees the location of the coastline. Because the upper layer of seawater is frozen, the density of ice is much smaller than that of water, causing the whole ocean's ice layer to rise as a whole. If a plateau is formed.
He looked at the glaciers that had risen at least a hundred meters in front, and they couldn't return to God for a long time.
