Chapter 717: Blood Tomb 11
"Why are you going?" Seeing that Wang Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief, he went to open the bamboo door and said, "You don't have to go out, turn your back and I'll get dressed." ā
"I'm still going to go out." Wang Fusheng looked back at Hong Aya with a smile on his face and said, "If the heavy snow only lasts for a week, there will definitely be no problem, we are huddled in the cave, and the food and firewood reserves are sufficient. But what if it's more than a week? The temperature is now around minus 5 degrees Celsius.
After a week, it is possible to minus 50 degrees. If it snows for more than a week, we will definitely have to go out to find food after a week, and then we will be frozen into popsicles as soon as we get out of the cave to warm up for a week. So it's best to get used to this environment in advance. ā
"How do you adapt to the temperature dropping so fast? You're not a thermometer, and you change with the temperature. Red Aya said half-jokingly.
"It's a dangerous world, but it's fast to push the limits. After breaking through the limit, the body adapts quickly. So I can't change with the temperature like a thermometer, but I can't be as adaptable as when I'm outside. It's always good to get used to it, at least if you don't stop going out looking for food for a week in the heavy snow, you won't freeze into popsicles as soon as you go out. Wang Fusheng smiled at Hong Aya, then opened the bamboo door and walked out.
The rainforest, once covered in greenery, is now covered in snow. All plants seem to have crossed the time barrier from summer to winter overnight. Wang Fusheng remembers that when he closed the bamboo door and entered the cave yesterday, the plants were still green, and the leaves on the trees were also dense. But now the trees and plants are bare, as if they have weathered the depression of autumn and are carrying the silver clothes that have endured the cold winter.
The snow is very thick, and it is about one meter thick as Wang Fusheng visually measured just now, which is the thickness of the snow on the flat ground. In some ravines, it is estimated that people will not be able to see if they jump in. The snow is melting beneath the surface. This melting is very strange, it is just constantly absorbing the temperature in the air, but no water appears. The entire ground is like a dry sponge, absorbing all the water left in the melting snow.
"How's it going out there?" Red Aya's voice came from behind the bamboo gate.
"It's a bit cold, and although I don't have any down jackets for the winter, I still build yƬ to go out for a walk. Because I can't guarantee that there will be a fire in the cave in time. After a few days, the temperature will be the same as the temperature outside now. So you'd better get used to it in advance and bring some jerky out.
After coming out, he kept eating jerky in the snow. This will allow your body to adapt to the extreme cold and your stomach to eat in extreme cold. Be careful when you come out, don't fall into the snow pit, I'll take a look around. ā
Wang Fusheng stepped on the thick snow and walked into the distance, as if he was looking to see if there were any traces left by wild beasts around him. Although it was still snowing in the sky, any traces left behind would be quickly obscured. But Wang Fusheng still seems to be walking around trying his luck. After all, if he wants an extremely cold environment, he also wants to exercise like he said to Red Aya.
Instead of running around at the entrance of the cave, you might as well try your luck by going a little farther. Even if you don't encounter anything, you don't have anything to lose. But once encountered, it is a windfall, and in this environment where the temperature of the snow-covered mountains is still decreasing, any food source of good luck may be a hope of survival.
Choosing a direction, Wang Fusheng began to walk forward, walking forward without hurrying or slow, slowly chewing the jerky in his mouth as breakfast, just like a person walking in the snow and enjoying the snow scene.
The body suddenly encountered the cold stiffness from the warm cave just now, and slowly became soothed. The flow of blood also slowly recovers to normal, and the temperature of the body slowly recovers. But at the same time, the body's calories are being consumed rapidly. This made Wang Fusheng's stomach under this body's thirst for energy, but still quickly transformed what Wang Fusheng ate and continued to provide energy for the body. After walking for about an hour, Wang Fusheng basically adapted to this cold environment.
The blood, muscles, and pores of the whole body instinctively change to lower than the severe cold, just like a tree pushes off its leaves, and the fur of an animal grows in winter. This instinct would have taken a season to slowly shift. But Wang Fusheng did it in an hour. Although it is not a complete transformation, it is just the most basic kind of adaptation to the current cold. But this proved that Wang Fusheng's speculation was correct, which made Wang Fusheng breathe a sigh of relief, and it was not a desperate situation that there was vitality hidden in the sudden change of strange weather.
"How?" Seeing Wang Fusheng open the bamboo door and walk in, Hong Aya opened her mouth and asked, at this time, the tip of Hong Aya's nose was red. The body trembled a little and held the clay pot to drink hot water, obviously not long after returning from outside.
"Overnight, the whole rainforest seemed to move from the tropics to the arctic, but my guess was correct. The climate in this world is changing rapidly, and we are also more resilient than we are outside. After that, I went out for a walk every morning and evening, so that I would not be unable to walk in the face of extreme cold. I'm trying to understand why those gray wolves suddenly appeared the other day. Wang Fusheng knocked the snow off his combat boots outside the bamboo gate, and then closed the bamboo door and walked in.
"Why?" Hong Aya looked at Wang Fusheng like a curious baby, and the enchanting Danfeng's eyes were indescribably charming, which made people feel the urge to take them into their arms and love them. Wang Fusheng's eyes couldn't help but flash a different color, and Hong Aya had obviously broken through the limit of her body once. But it seems that what has increased is not strength, nor speed, but charm.
Charm is like luck, a magnetic field that cannot be seen or grasped, but it can be felt like seeing flowers in the fog. Now that Wang Fusheng felt it, she could be sure that Hong Aya didn't deliberately seduce her. But this casual look is indeed more tempting than the previous few days.
"Animals are always more prepared than humans, and before this was the territory of poisonous pythons, there were really no powerful beasts nearby. There is only one explanation for the sudden appearance of wolves in the territory of other powerful beasts, and that is that they are in desperate need of food.
Just as black bears sense that winter is coming, they will eat like crazy to store fat for the winter, wolves also need food to survive the winter. That's why they appear on the territory of other beasts without any scruples. Anacondas, on the other hand, rarely hunt prey that they can't swallow unless they feel a deadly threat from you and will not attack for food out of self-preservation.
But the previous poisonous python was only five meters long, even if the python could swallow prey much larger than its own size. But apparently it won't be able to swallow you, but it's still attacking you. So in addition to the urgent need for food to survive the winter. I can't think of any other reason. ā
"Are you saying they felt the extreme weather in front of them?" Red Aya asked with some surprise.
"So far, it seems. So we who just entered the Blood Withering Realm a few days ago are very dangerous. In order to store food for the winter, the beasts at this time are crazy. So the people who came in estimated to have died quite a lot. Wang Fusheng suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and when he wanted to find out what the reason for this uneasiness was, this feeling suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
"I hope Duran and Du Yue are okay." Hearing Wang Fusheng say this, Hong Aya couldn't help but worry about the Du family's sisters and brothers.
"The relationship between the Tianji clan and the Du family doesn't seem to be a simple mutual transaction or cooperation, right?" Wang Fusheng looked at Hong Aya with some curiosity.
"Want to know?" Hong Aya winked at Wang Fusheng, and her eyes were indescribably charming.
"I want to know." Wang Fusheng nodded.
"If you sue me, you are of that tribe, I will sue you."
"The Henggu royal family, the biggest enemy of the Tianji clan." Wang Fusheng put a piece of dried meat into his mouth and chewed it slowly. Wang Fusheng did not find rock salt in the surrounding mountains, so the reserve of edible salt was limited, so the dried meat was very light without salt, but it had a different flavor when refused.
"Really?" Hong Aya looked at Wang Fusheng with a puzzled expression, as if she didn't believe Wang Fusheng's refreshing answer.
"Really." Wang Fusheng nodded affirmatively.
"Trick the devil into it." Red Aya looked incredulous.
"I've already said what you asked me, and you don't believe it's your business. Now let's talk about your relationship with the Du family. Wang Fusheng didn't explain anything, just shrugged his shoulders and said.
"How could I sue you? If I tell you that I have a marriage contract with Du Yue, will you believe it? Hong Aya pursed her lips, obviously not believing what Wang Fusheng said at all. So Xiu frowned, as if thinking about what kind of origin Wang Fusheng had.
"Believe. When I look at Du Yue, my eyes are full of admiration when I look at you. Wang Fusheng didn't say anything about Hong Aya's disbelief in his words, as if he had expected this result a long time ago. After all, sometimes telling the truth is a better way to hide the truth than lying.
Hong Aya was stunned for a moment, obviously didn't expect Wang Fusheng to mention Du Yue, glanced at Wang Fusheng, Hong Aya shook her head and said, "We are not suitable." ā
"Why? Could it be that numerology is incompatible? Aren't you Tianji clan the most fond of changing your life against the sky? If you want to say what race is the most believer in heaven in the world, it is definitely not the Heavenly Replenishing Clan, but the Heavenly Machine Clan. To say that the most disbelieving in heaven in the world is that race, which is also the heavenly machine race. Faith keeps you absolutely afraid, even to be careful. I don't believe it because you like to steal the heavenly machine and use it to strengthen yourself. Wang Fusheng looked at Hong Aya with some incomprehension.
"That's just one aspect of the story." Hong Aya said lightly without explaining too much.
The snow is still falling. The snow touching the ground is still melting, and the temperature is constantly dropping. It didn't take a week. In just the absence of a day, the temperature dropped to about minus 50 degrees. Although Wang Fusheng insists on going out for a walk every morning and evening, he allows his body to adapt to the extremely changing environment. But when the temperature reached this extreme, Wang Fusheng's body was also a little unable to keep up with the rapid changes in the environment. Now I can only spend about an hour outside a day. And it's the kind that needs to be eaten constantly.
"I'll go out for a walk." On the sixth day, Wang Fusheng's kind of getting stronger and stronger, as if something important was about to be lost, made him a little manic. So tightened the clothes on his body, Wang Fusheng said to Hong Aya, turned around and walked out of the cave.
Hong Aya wanted to stop Wang Fusheng, because she hadn't gone out since two days ago. The environment has changed so much that she simply can't adapt. You can only stay in the cave and bake the fire. But the words he wanted to say were not spoken. She also saw that Wang Fusheng was inexplicably uneasy in the past few days, so she could only watch Wang Fusheng walk out and just hold the bamboo door in the past.
The whole world is white, and the mountains in the distance are like huge snow-capped mountains that have been piled up for hundreds of years. Walking out of the cave, Wang Fusheng looked up at the sky, then tightened his collar and walked into the distance. He didn't know what the reason for that uneasiness was. But walking into the biting cold of the wind and snow will make him feel a lot more comfortable.
Wang Fusheng's shadow quickly disappeared into the mountain col. This time he was going to go a little further and look around to see what was making him uneasy. The heavy snow quickly concealed the traces of Wang Fusheng's departure, and there was silence in the vast world, as if his life had been covered by the university.
As Wang Fusheng walked, he waved the military thorn in his hand and made a mark on the big tree passing by. Although you are familiar with the surroundings, the forest and the road are too similar after the heavy snowfall. Especially after walking through it, it won't be long before the snow will cover the footprints. It won't leave a trace, and if you go farther, you risk getting lost.
In the cave, Red Aya sat next to the fire, wearing the coat of Wang Fusheng's casual clothes, and two gray wolf skins underneath. There are all kinds of meat and wild vegetables hanging around the cave, and most of the meat is gray wolf's meat, which has been smoked by Wang Fusheng and can be preserved for a long time. In addition to the meat of the gray wolf, there are many other meats, and one of the deer's corpses was picked up by Wang Fusheng when he went out a few days ago.
As for the fawn skin, she made a pair of simple gloves and put them on her hands, and her eyes were constantly shaking with the flames as she watched the swaying glow red aya, and there was no focus in her pupils, and she didn't know what she was thinking. The cave reverberated only the occasional popping sound of burning firewood.
I don't know how long it took for Red Aya to wake up from her daze, and the wooden spoon reached into the clay pot on top of the fire to prepare for something to eat. It's just too cold. It takes constant eating to maintain the body's calories, and Red Aya has to eat four or five meals a day to meet the body's energy expenditure to resist the cold.
She would love to get into her sleeping bag during the day, because it's a high-tech bag that's really good for keeping out the cold. Getting into it at such a low temperature can also warm up quickly, and then you can sleep comfortably. Hide inside all night without eating and don't have to worry about the cold.
But Wang Fusheng let her not be allowed to enter the sleeping bag during the day, even if she needed to consume food outside and did not let her hide in the sleeping bag during the day. Because if the training to adapt to the cold before hiding in the sleeping bag is in vain, if the temperature outside continues to drop, and when the sleeping bag can't make Red Aya feel warm, then where else will she go?
Hong Aya really wanted to say that Wang Fusheng was worried. Because the sleeping bag can still keep warm at about minus 70 degrees. When the temperature drops to minus 70 degrees, she hides in her sleeping bag and persists for a few more days, and it is estimated that she will be able to survive the cold winter of this sudden general.
Holding the crockpot and taking a sip of the broth. It took a lot of perseverance for Red Aya to keep herself from looking at the sleeping bag. The warmth in the sleeping bag is just too comfortable and so inviting. She even wanted to tell Wang Fusheng to let her hide in her sleeping bag for a day, even if she didn't eat, so that she could save food, but she didn't say anything. Because Wang Fusheng won't agree to it.
It was difficult for Hong Aya to understand why Wang Fusheng was always so cautious, or that he was worried. It seems that the danger does not go away for a moment. It's going to go on indefinitely, so you need to be prepared all the time. Imagine that the danger in front of you will soon be over, and maybe tomorrow the weather will warm up and you will be able to sleep in your sleeping bag. He didn't have to endure the cold and go out to adapt to the changes in the environment painfully, lying in the wolf's skin, wouldn't it be nice for the two of them to sleep beautifully?
"Why don't you get some sleep. After a while, it will come out. Red Aya's gaze drifted to the sleeping bag again.
Outside the cave, it was about to reach minus 60 degrees Celsius, and although some measures were taken to prevent the cold in the cave, the temperature was also about minus 10 degrees. Red Aya, who was only wearing underwear and casual clothes, felt a little stiff even when she sat next to the fire.
"Forget it, it's time to be scolded again when he sees it when he comes back." Hong Aya shook her head and reluctantly withdrew her gaze. Hong Aya feels that she has changed a lot these days, she used to be a martial artist, and she is still very determined by the Tianji Clan, and she doesn't have any thoughts about enjoying herself in time. But during this time, she needed Wang Fusheng's spur to do so. More often than not, she thinks about how to make her body warmer and more comfortable.
Throwing the jerky into the crockpot and soaking it, Red Aya ate it silently. Suddenly, Red Aya raised her head and looked around, feeling as if something was missing, and the extreme low temperature seemed to freeze her brain, Red Aya didn't notice that her reflexes and thinking skills were actually declining these days.
Holding the crockpot with the hot soup, she was stunned for a long time before she remembered that something was missing, and Wang Fusheng, who had gone out, had not come back at this time. In the past, Wang Fusheng, who only had to be in a daze every day and didn't even need to start eating, would come back from outside. Although the temperature continued to drop in the past few days, the time for her second meal after breakfast was a little earlier, but Wang Fusheng had not come back at this time, which was a bit abnormal.
Red Aya wanted to open the bamboo door and look outside, but she didn't have the courage to try it a few times. She had a hunch that as soon as she opened the bamboo door, the cold outside would rush in and she would soon be frozen into a popsicle when she stood at the door. The low temperature in the cave was more than 10 degrees below zero, and even if you sat next to the fire, your body was stiff. The low temperature outside is nearly minus 60 degrees, and it is really possible to freeze her into a popsicle when she opens the bamboo door. (To be continued......)
