Spring is coming, taking kitten steps, twisting, and belated.

After a day or two of early sunshine, there was a gentle drizzle.

The rain will continue for several days, injecting new life into the earth that has been depressed for half a year.

When this rain is over, it's real spring.

Braving the rain, the adults go into the forest to hunt, and they don't care about the rain wetting their hair, even though the temperature is still low.

In the evening, they would come back with huddles and lean against the campfire to keep warm.

Wang Yang knew that they were very hard, and he didn't wait for them to barbecue food, and took the initiative to cook with the "boy army", often when their hair dried out, the food was also roasted.

Sometimes the food is eaten before it's fully cooked, and no one picks about it.

The spring rain did not last long, a little shorter than expected, less than four days.

At this time, the food reserves can last for a few days, and adults can hunt without psychological burden, even if there is no harvest at the end of the day, they don't have to worry too much.

Seeing that the sky was clear, Wang Yang walked out of the cave with a lot of worry and came outside.

He was worried that the trees would not be able to endure such a long period of cold and would die.

On the ground outside the cave, a lot of grass has grown, and green shoots are newly sprouting, sporadic two or three points, which is quite beautiful, and looks no different from previous years.

They are also very tenacious and can grow in harsh climates.

Generally speaking, the presence of snow is not all bad for them, and snow also has the effect of keeping them warm.

But if you go too far, it's counterproductive.

The orchard was in better shape than Wang Yang had expected, with a little verdant on the branches, and some trees that had not yet grown new shoots, either not yet grown or were dead.

There are seven of these trees, one of which is nearing full maturity, the most planted in late autumn half a year ago, and the rest increase or decrease according to the size of their growth.

Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, if this was the case, even if these trees were all dead, there would be little loss.

The adults returned late that day, bringing back very little prey, less than at this time of year.

Wang Yang is not too worried, this is just the beginning, it's nothing, it will be fine in the future.

But after a few days, the adults still had very little food, so little that less than half of them had enough to eat.

Wang Yang couldn't sit still, the situation of making ends meet was quite passive, he had to actually see what was changing.

On this day, he and the adults went into the forest.

He didn't walk fast, focusing on the plants on both sides of the road.

Small flowers and grasses grow very quickly, and they can be seen everywhere in just a few days, but if you look closely, you will find that some grasses are much less.

One can imagine how they suffered during the long winter.

and some trees were also afflicted.

The dead trees in the orchard are just the tip of the iceberg, and the extension of winter is widespread, affecting more than just the outer part of the forest.

It affects the mountains on the left, the mountains on the right, the canyon heights behind, and even the primeval forests directly ahead.

In these areas, trees that could not tolerate such cold died in large numbers.

These are not so noticeable in the early spring.

However, one thing can be confirmed, the ecosystem has been seriously damaged, as the saying goes, it affects the whole body, and for an ecosystem that is closely related to each link and orderly, one thing is bad, and all is bad.

This can be seen from the fact that the number of animals decreased in the second year due to excessive collection of birds' eggs.

It is so natural, as tight as a mechanical system, and when something goes wrong, it is like a pinion in the machine getting stuck, causing a major failure of the machine.

None of the species that live under the same sky are unaffected.

The ape-people have also been affected, and they can no longer find more food to harvest in their current territory.

This is the result of sudden changes in the climate.

Although there are many reasons why apes have new tools to hunt and kill all kinds of animals, but that is only a very small part, after all, no matter how strong the apes are at this time, they cannot have the power to change the world.

Wang Yang came to the edge of the Bladetooth Tiger's territory, stood hesitantly for a while, and finally stepped in.

He waited for a while, but the Bladetooth didn't appear.

Looking back at everyone, everyone looked dazed, they did not compress the territory of the blade-toothed tiger again.

He silently retreated and joined the hunt.

At the end of the day, he didn't see many animals, they really few, and it seemed that they hadn't come out of the haze of last winter, and they were scarce.

He wondered if things would get better in two days.

After a few days, the situation seemed to improve, and many small animals could be seen, and the food caught was abundant.

Finally, one day, the harvest and consumption of food reached a balance.

Wang Yang didn't dare to slack off, so he got up early the next day, ate something, and packed up his equipment and prepared to go out.

He rubbed his eyes, still a little sleepy, and wanted to wash his face to sober up, but suddenly remembered that he hadn't helped the little animal clean up, patted his head, and put the equipment down.

Today's weather is a little cold, and when he gets up, he feels obviously cold, Wang Yang shrunk his body, put on an extra piece of hair, and walked out of the cave.

As soon as he reached the outside of the cave, he felt a little dazzling in his vision, squinted his eyes, and walked forward.

"Squeak~squeak~"

There was a strange noise when he stepped on the ground, and when he looked down, he saw a layer of white snow on the ground.

He widened his eyes and stretched.

"It's not kidding me."

He didn't pay too much attention to it, sighed, and said to himself: "I'm having messy dreams again, I can't figure it out, what are you doing with the pieces of dreams that always come out." ”

Then, he slapped him in the thigh very hard.

"Smack~" A hot sour numb from the thigh through the nerve, clearly transmitted to his mind, Wang Yang was stunned, and before he could figure out what was going on, a bit of cold stuff fell on his neck.

He suddenly felt a thrill all over his body, and all the sleepiness and tiredness disappeared, and he wiped it on his neck, and a little ice flower flashed in his hand, which looked dazzling in the sun.

Soon, the ice flower melted in his hand and slid past his fingertips.

He froze in disbelief, his eyes swept in all directions, only to see a thin snow carpet on the ground around him.

In the vast sky, countless white "fluffs" fell and slowly landed.

He turned his head and saw that the people at the entrance of the cave were also staring blankly at everything in front of them, and then looked at him.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he made a smile that was uglier than crying: "Tell me, I'm dreaming." ”
