Chapter 468: Life Under the Ice

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Luo Yuan left the office with his hands in his hands, preparing to go to the volcano to inspect it.

The street has been lit with heating lamps, like a long dragon on the street endlessly, the existence of these heating lamps, so that the temperature here maintains a temperature of more than ten degrees day and night, people dare not imagine, the outside has been frozen everything.

There are not many pedestrians on the road, only pedestrians in twos and threes, hurrying through the passageway, of course, it is only two o'clock in the afternoon, it is not time to eat, if it is a few hours, it will immediately become crowded.

At the beginning, in order to control grain and vegetables, Hope City implemented a large canteen system, although the situation has improved greatly, but due to various objective reasons, but also to avoid wasting materials, this system is still maintained.

After all, to open a family unit, consider not only the sufficiency of food and vegetables, but also the need for a large number of kitchen utensils.

With the current technical strength of Hope City, as well as material reserves, these are not possible in a short period of time, and there is no need at all.

As for the sparse flow of people on the streets, it is natural that it is still under martial law, and there are guards everywhere on both sides.

This is also something that cannot be helped, as the survivors of the nearby three cities have migrated here, the population of Hope City is in a state of big bang, and now the jobs that Hope City can provide do not need so many people, even in order to increase the employment rate, reduce the use of machines, and tinker with the entire dungeon, and engage in infrastructure work, most people are still unemployed.

With these millions of people staying at home and doing nothing, combined with the natural conflict between the local and non-local populations, this is undoubtedly a huge powder keg, and the continued martial law is the right thing to do.

And this martial law is likely to continue for a long time, until humans move into the spaceship, and perhaps it will gradually improve at that time.

……

Luo Yuan walked out of the dungeon

It was snowing heavily.

Since the disaster, snowfall has become extremely frequent, almost every two or three days, and looking at the snow on the ground, which is already up to a meter thick, it is clear that the snow has been falling for a long time.

These snowflakes were gray-black, carrying a large amount of dust, and they had not yet fallen on him, and the next moment, the air around him shook slightly, and the snow on his body was suddenly dispersed by a will.

He kicked his feet, and his body suddenly rose into the air like an arrow, and in an instant, the air let out a sharp whistling, and a sedimentary cloud appeared out of thin air, and the figure quickly turned into a small dot, speeding towards the sky.

He first went to inspect the crater from several antimatter bombs, and found that everything was fine, the volcano below had been completely frozen, forming a thick layer of ice, and there was no steam leaking nearby, obviously the previous countermeasures were still effective.

Next, he turned around and inspected the nearby volcano, which was already erupting.

After half a month of venting, the volcano has gradually subsided, and the original red magma has already cooled and covered with ice, except for the steam that is vaguely rising from the top of the volcano, there is no abnormality.

Luo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, I have to say that this harsh climate is sometimes not useless, and the volcano is also greatly affected by this extreme cold of minus sixty or seventy degrees.

The area here is already in the wilderness, originally this vibrant world, at this time, in Luo Yuan's eyes, there was a dead silence, countless huge plants have been frozen in gray-black ice, like huge metal sculptures, not the slightest vitality can be seen.

Looking at everything in front of him, Luo Yuan couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart.

He walked through this forest, the original dangerous forest, the original habit of birds and beasts, has long disappeared at this time, comparable to the cold winter of the polar night in the north and south poles, has wiped out most of the vitality here.

He stood still for a moment, just as he prepared to return.

At this time, Luo Yuan's keen ears suddenly heard a sound of Si Xi Suo coming from not far away.

As soon as his heart moved, he immediately dismissed his idea, and looked at the sound, the sound came from five or six kilometers away, and the sight was blocked by the dense tree trunks, but for Luo Yuan, who had four-dimensional vision, this tree trunk that blocked the vision had no effect.

I saw a mutant beast like a squirrel, carefully burrowed out of the ice and snow, this is a mutant beast shaped like a squirrel, with a half-meter-long body, which can only be regarded as a small creature among mutant beasts.

It was covered in thick, fluffy beige hair, and it looked quite fat, looking like a round ball, and it was clear that it was surviving quite well even in this harsh winter.

After it came out, its small black eyes looked vigilantly left and right, and its long red ears turned flexibly, looking quite cautious.

After a long time, it suddenly ran fast, seemingly short limbs, but it was not slow to run, it quickly climbed a nearby frozen tree, its sharp nails firmly nailed into the ice, so that its movements were not affected at all, extremely flexible.

In a short time, it climbed to a depression in the tree, where it was clearly a tree hole, and then, with the rapid movement of its limbs, the hard ice was broken by it, and for a moment, the broken ice was splashed everywhere.

Soon it dug out a small hole, the hole was so small that it could only enter and exit its body, and then it got into it with difficulty.

Luo Yuan waited patiently for a while, and when he saw that it didn't come out for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

His body floated up, approaching the tree as silently as he could, and with his keen sense of hearing, he suddenly clearly heard a sound of "click" and "click" similar to chewing.

Could it be this "squirrel" who also stores food here.

Luo Yuan thought it was funny, but he didn't want to disturb the "squirrel" eating, after all, it was the first creature found on land after the disaster, except for King Kong.

He continued to wait patiently for more than ten minutes, perhaps the squirrel was finally full, and it came out of it again, first showing half of its head, looking left and right vigilantly, and then waiting quietly for a while, seeing that it found no danger.

It finally came out, and then gently stroked the snow around it with its paws, covering the hole again, and then it jumped off the tree, re-burrowed into the frozen ground, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Luo Yuan didn't think it was strange, compared to staying in the tree hole, the cave under the frozen soil was obviously much warmer than the tree hole.

When the "squirrel" disappeared, Luo Yuan looked curiously at the big tree that was frozen in ice, the ice on its surface was already thirty centimeters thick, like armor wrapped the tree, he held the big tree with his hand, and his strength spit slightly.

The ice is hard and fragile at the same time, and if it breaks, the entire ice will be torn apart.

As a large amount of crushed ice peeled off the tree, the original color of the bark was revealed.

The whole tree was bare, only the trunk remained, and all the leaves had fallen off with the broken ice. Immediately afterwards, Luo Yuan cleaned up the ice in the tree hole where the "squirrel" had visited.

The hollow was unremarkable, with neither animal carcasses nor stockpiled fruit, but he was surprised to see that the bottom of the hollow was cut open by the claws, oozing with milky white syrup.

He gently wiped the slurry with his hand, revealing a slightly green wood.

He was amazed that the inside of the tree was not frozen, it was still alive, and it seemed to hibernate, pausing most of its metabolism, quietly waiting for the sun to return to the earth.

The vitality of these plants is more powerful than imagined, but Luo Yuan thinks about it, these lives are not ordinary life, but some mutated life, and even some life is beyond the scope of common sense, which is not comparable to the end of the world at all.

This discovery made Luo Yuan's heart excited.

Although in order to avoid the threat of the Boxing people, he has already decided to let humans temporarily leave the earth and run to the universe, but the earth is the home planet of mankind after all, and one day, human beings will definitely 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 check nearby.

He found that more and more large trees were still alive, and generally speaking, the higher the rank, the larger the tree, the more resistant it was to this harsh environment, and some of the lower trees, as well as most of the shrubs, had died in the extreme cold.

During this period, he sporadically discovered that some trees even had unique evolutions in order to withstand the cold winter.

In particular, one of them exudes a steaming heat, around it, Luo Yuan can hardly see the slightest ice and snow, and its tree body is not bare like other plants, but it seems to be luxuriant, a vibrant scene, the umbrella cover formed by the branches is like a huge green net covering a radius of several kilometers, in this endless dead silence, it seems to stand out.

Its existence completely forms a sanctuary for living beings, and a simple and fragile ecological chain.

The whole tree was inhabited by birds and beasts, and the density of creatures was almost staggering, and fortunately the tree was large enough to resemble a small forest, otherwise it would not have been able to bear such a burden.

Of course, such biological shelters are not the only ones, in high-altitude flight, Luo Yuan found that there are also some areas, although there are no plants that produce similar evolution, but because of the special geographical environment, some areas emit a lot of geothermal heat, resulting in the formation of a unique oasis, in this dead and silent forbidden area, the formation of a miracle of life.

However, most of these oases are too small, and the largest area Luo Yuan found is only a hundred square kilometers, and as for the small ones, even only a few hundred square meters, the endless dead silence is the most common color today.

Unconsciously, Luo Yuan had already come to the ocean, he subconsciously stopped, his eyes widened slightly, and everything in front of him was an extremely shocking scene.

I saw that the entire ocean had been frozen, but this was not the reason why Luo Yuan was shocked.

He slowly descended and stood on the shoreline.

Now the land and sea have been frozen, but Luo Yuan still saw the location of the coastline at a glance, because the upper layer of sea water is frozen, and the density of ice is much smaller than water, resulting in the entire ocean ice, the overall rise, as if forming a plateau.

He looked at the glacier in front of him, which had risen at least 100 meters, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
