The cooperation between Guantianmen and the human beings on the ground is not only mining, but also the cooperation between the two sides is getting closer and closer and developing together. After all, there are many people on the human side on the ground, although they can't be compared with the disciples of Guantianmen in terms of cultivation at all, they far surpass Guantianmen in terms of invention and scientific and technological research and development. Combining the theory of cultivating truth and scientific theories, human beings have embarked on a path of scientific and technological cultivation, and it is getting smoother and smoother. However, in ten years, the technology of human beings on the ground has been very developed. The scientific and technological products developed in this decade are the sum of the 100 years before the ice age, and today's technology is 150 years ahead of the ice age.

On the ground, more and more cities are coming back to life, and five years ago, Fu Zhongyang and Guantianmen teamed up to travel to countries around the world to find survivors and bring them back. Today, all the human beings on the ground have gathered together to form the Ground Federation, and Fu Zhongyang is the first federal president.

Although the earth is still an ice age, the people on the ground are living very well. The cities they choose to live in are far away from the shelters, so that they don't want people living in underground shelters to find out how good their lives are. lest they lick their faces and want to enter their city. Hmph, I abandoned them at the beginning, and let them face the crisis of cold wave and death at any time, and now I don't want to take advantage of them.

The human beings on the ground are not afraid of the tough means of the underground humans, they are all masters now, and pinching the underground humans is as easy as pinching a chicken. If the underground humans want to use technology...... Hehe, their technology can match the technology of their own side?!

Twenty years have passed since the cold wave hit the earth, and the life of the people in the Gate of Heaven and on the ground is getting better and better, but the life of the underground humans is very bad. As in "2012", these underground human beings are in full swing in the face of disaster, many politicians are trying to seize power, there are many factions, each fighting with others for its own interests, and many things that should be done simply cannot be carried out. This is especially true in the area of food cultivation.

There is a lot of food in the shelter, but there are also many people who enter the shelter, and all the food stored can support the people in the shelter for four or five years, and after five years, the people in the shelter must be self-sufficient. It is gratifying to see that a large plantation has been built in the shelter, and that scientists have developed technology to increase production, and if the underground humans work diligently, they can grow enough food to feed everyone. But the question is, who will grow the food?

In addition to politicians and scientists in various fields, the rest of the refuge are talented people and wealthy families in other professions. These people are either engaged in mental work or pampered, where can they engage in manual labor? And how can the rich feel that they should be provided for by the shelter because they have paid an expensive fee to buy a stay, so how can they do the hard and underground work?

No one went to farm, seeing that the grain stock was getting less and less, the top management of the shelter used force to force it, and the rich people did not buy it and united to protest, but this time the top brass took it seriously, and many of the provocateurs were shot directly, which frightened the rich people. For the sake of their lives, they had to obediently go to work on the plantation. But they never worked, and they were very inefficient.

In the past twenty years, there has been no progress in underground technology. Even though there were some of the best scientists in the world before the cold wave, how could they conduct research without rice and materials?

There are fewer and fewer supplies underground, and the population is getting smaller and smaller—many of them are dying in factional battles, and young people are afraid that they will not be able to conceive and have children, for fear that their children will not survive in such an environment—and the order is becoming more and more chaotic and almost collapsing. Eventually, the Vault's higher-ups decided to send someone out on the surface to explore the surface in search of resources and a place where humans could barely live. Over the years, they have also released machines to explore the ground environment, but unfortunately there is not much useful information - the machines that have explored useful information have long been destroyed by the people on the ground, so that the people underground will not know the information on their side.

The selected daredevils wore clothes and equipment similar to spacesuits, and left the underground shelter in the eyes of everyone who "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone and will never return". These people have no burden to bear the burden of their families, and if they die on the ground, no one will grieve for them.

The environment on the ground was very harsh, and as soon as the group came out of the shelter, they were staggered by the cold wind and almost fell to the ground.

"It's cold." The voice of one of his teammates was heard over the radio communicator, and his voice trembled.

"The temperature is at least 40 degrees colder than when the cold wave first came." Another teammate said.

"No wonder the exploration machine sent by the Ministry of Science and Technology can't find useful information, and this time out of the shelter, the machine will freeze to strike, right?"

"Alas, not to mention the machine strike, even I want to strike. Our action is death and no life. ”

Everyone was silent when they heard this.

These few of them are the best special forces members of all countries, and their bodies are the best, even they can't help the cold, and if they change the shelter, the others will definitely be frozen. Not to mention exploring the ground, you will freeze to death if you stay outside for half a day. Alas, it is not known how many days they will be able to stay outside.

"I offended my boss and was sent by him." The black man named Oschats, "What about you? ”

Johnson, a young white man, said, "Just like you, man, my boss would have killed me a long time ago." ”

Istrov, a Central Asian, said: "I offended a small leader of the Ministry of Science and Technology, who robbed my girlfriend. ”

Joshua, an Australian, said: "I offended a politician. ”

Everyone's eyes turned to the middle-aged man of the Flower Planting Country with a calm face, and their captain Xu Yongchang.

Xu Yongchang said: "I signed up by myself. In the shelter, I don't have any relatives, I don't have any concerns, and even if I die, no one will feel sorry for me, so it's better to give up the hope of life to others. ”

The crowd was silent for a while, and after a long time, Istrov said: "The soldiers of your flower country are quite great. ”

Xu Yongchang smiled: "Yes, I have always been proud of being a soldier of the flower country when I was a soldier. ”

After a pause, Xu Yongchang said: "Actually, this time I came out, I wanted to find my relatives." Even though I knew that there was no hope that they would survive, I still wanted to find it. When we've explored useful information, take the information with you and take refuge. I don't want to go back, I want to go back to my hometown. Even if you die, you have to die there. ”

"......" fell silent again.

Joshua said, "I also want to go back to my hometown. ”

Istrov said, "Metoo." ”

Oschatz said: "There is an old saying in your flower country, 'It is better to die than to live'. I'm not similar yet. ”

Johnson said, "I don't want to die either. ”

Xu Yongchang said: "Then when the time comes, you two should take the information you have explored to avoid the refuge." ”

"OK, leave it to us." Oschatz and Johnson said in unison.

"Let's hurry up, we must find a shelter from the wind and cold before dark, or the cold wind of the night will freeze us into popsicles." Joshua reminded everyone.

"Get in the car." Xu Yongchang took the lead in a strange-looking vehicle. This is the Ministry of Science and Technology specially developed for this exploration of the snowmobile, the space is very large, the speed is also very fast, to reach the same speed as the airplane, and the car is very airtight, into the car, the cold wind outside is blocked, several people feel no longer so carved into the bone marrow of the cold.

The car departed, and several people began to explore this dangerous world that was familiar to them but now strange to them, with the hope of everyone in the shelter.

After seven days in the outside world, several people had a hard time, although they had made sufficient preparations, but the temperature on the surface was really too cold, and they were not like people on the surface, their physique had changed and became more cold-tolerant. They are still ordinary human beings, and in such a cold environment, the hardships can be imagined.

Seven people have entered the realm of the flower country, but at this time, Joshua is sick, although he has taken medicine, it is useless, and his teammates can only watch his life gradually pass away, and they have nothing to do. Maybe it won't be long before they, like Joshua, will die one after another.

"Joshua, hold on, don't you still want to go back to your hometown? We'll take you back to your hometown at once. Xu Yongchang cheered up Joshua.

Joshua didn't answer, he couldn't answer anymore. There was silence in the car, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Suddenly, Istrov, who was driving, shouted: "People, people, someone's whereabouts!" ”

The rest of the people were all startled and threw themselves down to Istrov's side.

Xu Yongchang asked, "Where are the people?" ”

Istrov pointed to the exploration screen on the bridge, where two green dots of light flickered. This is a life detector specially developed by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the color of other life is yellow, and only when it explores humans, it will flash green light.

Several people looked at the green light, and their eyes lit up: "Is there really someone?" ”

"I didn't expect that there would be people alive in such a harsh environment." Johnson lamented.

"The potential of human beings is limitless, and so is the ability to adapt to the environment. Can the Eskimos live in the Arctic and the people on the ground adapt to today's environment? ”

Xu Yongchang nodded and asked Eastrov: "How far are we from those two?" ”

Istrov said: "There are two kilometers. ”

Xu Yongchang ordered: "Hurry over." Since they can survive in such an environment, they must have many life-saving abilities, and maybe they can save Joshua. ”

The eyes of the others brightened even more when they heard this, and Istrov immediately picked up his speed, and the two-kilometer distance passed in a flash. Two men appeared in their line of sight.
