Chapter 144 Polar Day may be a rare respite
He Liang laughed and pretended to beg for mercy, "Spare me, spare me! How about we have something special today? It's deserted around here, so we won't be caught if we eat something strong. I just saw a group of wild rabbits on the road and couldn't resist hunting a few. They're very fresh. How about we have a barbecue?"
"Great idea! Then get me some more lamb skewers, beef skewers, and pork intestines! Extra spicy and extra cumin!" Yu Miaomiao's mouth was practically watering.
"Alright, just wait to eat. I'll show you all my skills today."
He Liang rolled up his sleeves and left to prepare the ingredients.
Lu An and Yu Miaomiao usually do most of the cooking, not because they are particularly diligent, but because they prefer their own cooking to suit their tastes.
When the car was parked, K had nothing to do. He just watched everyone busy with their own things and felt a sense of emptiness in his heart. He put himself into standby mode and slowly lowered his head.
"K, I need your help with something!"
Yu Miaomiao let all the furry friends out of the space; now there are four, not three. When she left Weapon Factory, she also brought Ji Mu'sRaymond with her.
Upon seeing the four furry creatures, K immediately snapped out of his listless standby state and became energetic, his eyes sparkling as if they were twinkling with starlight.
"Take the four of them out to play." The four little ones can wander around in the space, but since K likes them very much, it would be better to let K take them outside to exercise.
K's eyes lit up, as if he had received some important mission, and he was full of energy.
He nodded gently and replied in an extremely gentle voice, "Okay, Miss Yu, I will take good care of them."
After saying that, K deftly put leashes on the four furry kids and happily led them away.
"Don't go too far, play around nearby." This motherly mentality of wanting to let go but also being afraid of her child's danger is vividly displayed in Lu An.
Don't worry.
K really enjoys spending time with furry friends. (Yu Miaomiao) Lu An was happy to have an easy time, achieving the best of both worlds.
In her previous life, she didn't know the upper limit of mutations like the furry babies, but more exercise is always beneficial. If she were gone in the future, perhaps they could survive on their own.
"Are you thinking about something trivial again? Don't always think about things that haven't happened yet." Seeing Yu Miaomiao with tears in her eyes, watching K walk away with the furry child all alone, Lu An knew that she was just being sentimental again.
"Okay, okay, I know. I'm just very emotional." Yu Miaomiao turned to look at Lu An with a smile, then looked back at K and the four little ones running happily away, feeling quite emotional.
Even in this post-Apocalyptic world, these little guys are not affected by their environment and can find the true meaning of happiness in the ruins.
The two watched K lead the four children away before returning to He Liang to prepare dinner.
This has become a fixed habit: I eat simple meals in the morning and at noon, but I treat myself well after a long day of traveling when I park in the car at night.
Although we are making dinner now, the sky above is still bright and clear.
"What's going on? Even in summer, it shouldn't still be bright outside at seven o'clock." Ye Jianpicked up a pile of firewood from somewhere and started tidying it up while wondering.
The changes in nature nowadays can no longer be simply inferred from climate and other factors. He pushed up his glasses and looked atYu Miaomiao, as if waiting for her answer.
"I don't know either, maybe it's the influence of the extreme heat." Yu Miaomiao shook her head. Of course, she wouldn't say that Polar Daywould be coming soon, as that would have no scientific basis in other people's eyes.
He Liang stopped what he was doing, looked up at the sky, frowned slightly, and said, "Something is definitely not right. Even at the summer solstice, it should already be dark by this time. We'd better be careful; this might really be a sign that another natural disaster is about to strike."
Ye Jian nodded, put the neatly stacked firewood aside, stroked the stubble on his chin, and fell into deep thought. "I've read some information before. Some extreme climates have led to an increase in extreme weather phenomena, including the Polar Day phenomenon. Although it's unlikely that Polar Day will occur where we are, who knows? In today's world, anything is possible."
"That's all we can do. Let's wait for K to come back and ask him what impact Polar Day might have, so we can prepare for any possible scenarios in advance."
Yu Miaomiao styled her hair into a bun, revealing her fair and clean neck, which made her feel a bit refreshed.
She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that her hair was growing very fast. Compared to before the apocalypse, when she stayed up late every day to do research and live streams, her skin and hair were not in very good condition.
Now, under the scorching sun, I'm tanned so white I'm practically glowing, and my hair, which I only cut short about half a month ago, has already grown back to shoulder length.
" Miaomiao, you're so white, you're blinding me."
Lu An passed by, pounced on Yu Miaomiao, grabbed her slender waist, and took the opportunity to grope her.
"Yes, Sister Miaomiao, you're so fair-skinned, it's blindingly white in the sunlight."
Xu Nanwei also came over and placed his armnext to Yu Miaomiao for comparison. Little Girl's skin was also very delicate, but compared to Yu Miaomiao, it was obviously a shade darker.
"Well, it's because my parents gave me good looks. There's nothing I can do about it; it's just my nature."
Yu Miaomiao thought of her mother, who also had such fair and beautiful skin, and she really missed them.
However, these thoughts were quickly interrupted when Xu Nanwei suddenly skipped away. It turned out that K and the furry babieshad come back from playing outside.
Ye Jian stepped forward and asked K about the extreme weather phenomenon, " If a Polar Dayreally happens, what specific impact will it have on us? How should we deal with it?"
K directly searched the information database and gave the answer: " Polar Day can disrupt the biological clock, affect sleep quality, and may put a burden on physical and mental health in the long run."
In addition, continuous sunlight accelerates food spoilage, and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation can also cause skin damage. Humans cannot survive in direct ultraviolet radiation for long periods of time.
Therefore, with proper sun protection, shading, and food preservation, Polar Day itself will not cause human extinction.
"It sounds like the Polar Day is less of a torment than extreme heat, and it's a rare chance for us to catch our breath," Ye Jian concluded after listening.
"We hope that we can reach the central plateau region with the main force as soon as possible, re-establish a survival base, and preserve human civilization."
Neither Yu Miaomiao nor Lu An spoke. Yu Miaomiao knew that reconstruction was possible, but whether it could be preserved was unknown.
Countless natural disasters in the future will force humanity to migrate continuously. Although humanity did not become extinct before dying in the previous life, it was almost extinct.
