Needless to say, He Dali suddenly tightened the rope on his hand to help the two get out of trouble.

The rope tied to Long Yuandong's body was cut off by his soul skill "Metal Storm", and seeing that Lu Yan was being pulled out and retreated, he also hurriedly followed behind and ran out of the forest.

He Dali tightened the rope violently, and Lu Yan shouted: "Fatty, slow down, Lao Tzu has been pulled off by you!"

"It's better to pull it off than to suck it up!" He Dali saw that the two of them were out of danger, and casually threw the rope on Lu Yan's body: "Fortunately, our strength is here, and if we were in another group, we would have hung up a long time ago!"

Long Yuandong was afraid: "I'll go! No, this forest must not be left behind, and it will inevitably become a scourge in the future!"

"That's right!" Jiang Mantian said: "Send a signal to the other groups and come here to gather." We're going to burn this forest, and the canna!"

An armed police soldier pulled out a flare gun and sent the agreed signal into the air.

Soon after, groups came to gather.

Everyone raised firewood and flames, and no matter how arrogant the wisteria forest was, after all, it had only just evolved the ability to catch animals, and finally it couldn't escape the power of the fire.

It's the canna, it can't be burned back and forth, Mu Yuan was angry, and the giant wood martial soul was revealed, and when it was stirred, the canna suddenly fell apart and didn't look good.

"Tragedy! Another tragedy!" Zhang Ziwu sighed, thinking of several pregnant women who were still waiting for their husbands to go back at the base, depending on the situation, their husbands would never go back.

Arson in the forest is quite dangerous, and if you are not careful, you may set other trees on fire, and the fire will spread, and everyone will be trapped inside. And the smoke chokes people, the charcoal ash rolls down, and if you are not burned to death, you may also be smoked to death.

Long Yuandong saw that the fire was almost burned, and ordered everyone to return to the camp.

At this time, it is overcast, and it will not be long before it will be completely dark. Calculating the time, it is now the end of November, and Yandu has entered winter.

The cool breeze gradually rose, and the clouds and shadows were heavy.

"Are you going to cool down?" Jiang Mantian wiped away the coldness floating on his face, and the corners of his mouth were bitter: "This winter, it seems to be difficult!"

When they returned from the forest, they met in the conference hall as was customary.

Long Yuandong informed everyone of the bad news that had happened in the forest, and a pregnant woman present was weak, and tears were like beads with broken threads, pouring down.

Everyone present was amazed.

In order to avoid similar accidents happening again, Long Yuandong simply put forward the idea of setting fire to the forest.

"Set fire to the forest?"

Xu Shuqing was shocked: "This is a big move, we must be cautious, we can't be nonsense! Now the plants have exploded, and all the forests are connected into a piece." If the fire spreads, the entire swallow will be burned clean!"

"Even if the forests of Yandu are burned down, what will happen to us?" Long Yuandong discerned.

"Impact?" Xu Shuqing's shock at the beginning was just a subconscious instinctive reaction, but when he calmed down at this time, he immediately thought of several reasons: "First of all, when Yandu arrives in winter, the wind and sand are raging, which is something that everyone feels." If we burn down the forests, then we will have to spend the whole winter in dust and charcoal! In addition, the materials we have in stock can only ensure the basic necessities of survival, fresh vegetables and meat, dry firewood and charcoal, animal skins, and so on, all of which must be replenished by the forest. If there were no forests, wouldn't we be living in the desert?"

Long Yuandong said: "Chairman Xu may not know that the forest has become very dangerous now! If we don't set fire to it now and let it develop, it won't be long before we will be subject to the forest." Besides, if you burn the forest now and grow it again next year, what's there to worry about? It's better to eat the ashes of the winter than to lose your life, right?"

"Since there are differences of opinion, it is better to listen to everyone's opinions!" Tian Guangye and Xu Shuqing had the same opinion, and did not approve of burning the mountain: "Our current base can be said to be surrounded by forests, and it is the only place in Yandu that is not covered by vegetation. As soon as the fire burns, all kinds of animals will definitely rush to our base in order to escape for their lives, and when the time comes, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. ”

"That's not a worry. Cheng Gongyuan said: "We will arrange more manpower on the city wall, and add some advanced firepower with great lethality, I think no matter how many animals come, it is impossible to break through, just add vegetables to us." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone talked about it.

After the base is built, at night, everyone has nowhere to go, and usually gathers in the conference hall, because the more crowded the place, the more you can find a sense of presence and security.

At this time, there were thousands of people sitting in the hall, some of them were in favor of burning the mountain, some were not, and no one could convince anyone.

"Actually, there is another reason why the forest should be set on fire. ”

Jiang Mantian saw that everyone couldn't hold each other, and said loudly: "The real danger we face next is not beasts, nor man-eating plants, but the weather. On the way back just now, I made a preliminary calculation, about three days later, the temperature will drop sharply. At first, it dropped to about minus 20 degrees, and a month later, the temperature plummeted again until it was below minus 90 degrees. In the past, the average annual temperature of the world's Antarctic and Antarctic was about minus 12 degrees, and the average temperature in the coldest months was only minus 30 or 40 degrees. Two levels of minimum temperature, historically rarely below minus 70 degrees. ”

"Hiss~" Hearing him say this, everyone gasped and asked:

"Is it true?"

"Why is this happening?"

"So what are we going to do?"

"If we burn the forest, won't we freeze to death?"

In other words, everyone may have to doubt the truth of the matter. But Jiang Mantian's predictions have never been wrong, and everyone can't help but believe it.

"In the millions of years to come, the entire universe will gradually enter a cycle of great contraction, which is reflected in the contraction and shift of the trajectory of galaxies. During this period, the frequency and number of sunspots increased substantially, and the rotation cycle of solar peak year and solar trough year was shortened from 11.1 to 9.4 years. To put it simply, affected by the intensification of sunspot activity, the temperature of the world will be low as a whole in the future, roughly equivalent to the ice age in history, and this year is the peak year of solar activity, and the number and area of sunspots are several times the highest data in history, so this year's temperature will be exceptionally low, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an 'extremely frozen day'. ”

"With our current evolved physique, it may be possible to withstand temperatures of minus 20 degrees. But the temperature of minus 90 degrees Celsius is by no means something that those of us who lack food and clothing can bear.

In the same way, regardless of how vigorous plants and animals are now, in fact, most plants and animals will wither or even become extinct under extreme freezing weather.

By setting fire to the forest, we can quickly get enough charcoal to withstand the cold, and we can also get some roasted animals for food. In fact, this is just a stopgap measure. In addition to preparing for the cold as soon as possible, we must also take refuge in all the strategic ships under Yiheyuan before the weather drops again, so that we can really survive this cold winter. ”

"But we went to look for the strategic ship twice in succession, but we didn't find out where it was parked! As far as I know, there are many unique mechanisms at the entrance of the place where the strategic ship is parked. Therefore, even if we find the location where the strategic ship is parked, we may not be able to enter it, and after entering, whether we can open the strategic ship is another matter. Xu Shuqing was worried and said, "If we can't open the strategic ship, how can we survive the 'day of extreme freezing'?"

"There are some questions, and it's useless to worry about them no matter how much you worry. It is imperative that we set fire to the forests in a systematic manner, quickly collect large quantities of charcoal, hides and hay, and make adequate preparations to withstand the cold. I couldn't find a strategic ship before, I'm afraid it was mainly because of the forest and the mud and sand. If you burn down the forest this time, you might find something easier. I'll take someone for a walk later, and there will be a breakthrough anyway. Jiang Mantian pondered for a moment and said, "Chairman Xu, Political Commissar Cao, I don't know the key to open the 'Tianjia' strategic escape ship, can you show me?"

Xu Shuqing and Cao Huazhang glanced at each other, nodded, and took out a one-inch square black metal plate from their underwear pockets and handed it to Jiang Mantian.

"Ten of these chips put together, you can start a strategic escape ship. But now there are only two pieces left. Xu Shuqing said: "Even I don't know if there is any other way to open the strategic escape ship." ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Mantian nodded, carefully studying the metal plate: "I'll study it first." ”

The metal plate is actually just a box, and when opened, there is a black chip the size of a calling card, which is very thin and has seams left on the edges.

Jiang Mantian observed for a while, and suddenly thought: "If I can't open the strategic ship, others won't be able to open it." And if you can't get into the strategic ship, I'm afraid that all of them will be frozen into human-shaped popsicles. At that time, all our efforts were in vain, and all our struggles were in vain. ”

And he thought, "Actually, there is nothing when you die." However, it is a great pity that I have worked hard for so long, struggled for so long, fled for so long, chased for so long, and finally failed to achieve any results. ”

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at He Tingting. She was looking down at something drawn on a small wooden block, her eyelashes were slender, her skin was white, and her expression was serene.

Yin Xiao'an, who was next to her, was holding a thin bamboo in his hand, polishing and drilling holes, ready to make a piccolo.

"They're very calm. Maybe being a human being is like this, no matter what it will be in the future, live one day, just live a good day. ”

His mind raced, and he suddenly thought, "If I am frozen into a popsicle, I must be close to her." Thousands of years later, someone found our remains or bones, and they also knew that we knew the two of us. ”

Jiang Mantian stared at He Tingting in a daze, He Tingting seemed to have a sense, and looked up and returned with a sweet smile.
