Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Although he has returned to his homeland, he still has to cross the long border.

After experiencing a series of natural disasters such as heavy rain, earthquake, and high temperature, the city here may have become ruins.

"It seems that the seawater has not poured back into the northeast. Although it is icy and snowy here, there are no large-scale glaciers. This is good news."

"There should still be people in the northeast city, let's go into the city and have a look."

Ye Fu tidied up her hat. The thick winter hat and goggles were covered with snow, which made her vision blurred. Jiang Rong pulled the reins behind her, and she leaned against Jiang Rong's arms.

The mammoth and the horses carrying supplies walked together, and the two elk walked at the back. The border line was full of mountains, and it took two full days to enter Yuancheng through the path through the mountain forest.

As everyone expected, Yuan City was turned into ruins, with thick snow piled on the broken walls and ruins. The whole city was under the gray sky, without a trace of human habitation.

"I used to see Yuancheng in various short videos. It was known as Snow City. I used to think it was pretty, but now, I don't think it's pretty at all." Fang Wei's voice was a little hoarse, sucking Nose, continued.

"I'm afraid there are no survivors in the entire Yuan City."

"Let's go."

Wan Tao also shook his head in disappointment, flicked his whip, and the team continued on their way.

Leaving Yuancheng, the team stopped in a forest for the night.

Ye Fu and Jiang Rong went to cut branches, and Fang Ming took Wu Pei to hunt.

There are many animals that were frozen to death in the forest. This mountain range is full of pine forests. Ye Fu decided to cut more and put them in the space. There is rosin on the pine trees, which is easy to burn, but the smoke is very heavy and choking.

Taking out the ax and saw, Jiang Rong was in charge of cutting down the trees, and Ye Fu sawed the trees with the saw, and then put them into the space.

"Jiang Rong, after leaving Yuancheng, I found that the snow stopped."

"It's true that it hasn't snowed in the past two days." Jiang Rong helped her straighten her scarf.

"But the temperature hasn't risen, it's still sixty-three degrees." Ye Fu took out the thermometer and looked at it, then shrunk his neck.

The cold wind is biting, like a knife.

The two cut down dozens of pine trees, and then dragged the leaves and chopped firewood back.

Fang Ming and Wu Pei also came back. They were unlucky today and didn't catch any prey, but they also brought back a large bundle of leaves.

"There are no shadows of the rabbits, and they probably froze to death. Why do we feel that our territory is colder than country E? They are all wrapped up like bears, and they still feel cold."

"Because the wind in our territory is very strong, it feels colder. In fact, the temperature has not changed." Ye Fu put the firewood next to the fire, and Wan Tao and Liu Zhang were already cooking.

Officer Song and Qi Yuan took the branches from their hands and dragged them to feed the horses and mammoths.

The wind in the mountains was not as harsh as the wind on the road. After a simple dinner, everyone sat around the fire and began to sleep. The fire was burning very vigorously, and the clothes began to steam.

Four hours later, Wan Tao woke everyone up and started on their way, but after returning to our country, everyone seemed to have a cold, and they didn't know if it was because they were not acclimatized. Ye Fu cooked a big pot of medicine, and everyone drank two big bowls .

Qi Yuan didn't know where to find a bell. He hung the bell on the elk's horns and jingled all the way, adding a little fun to the journey.

A few days later, everyone came to a county town that had experienced a major earthquake, and even the urban area could not be entered. Everyone was horrified to see the devastation.

You can still see igloos and wooden houses in country e, but after returning here for more than ten days, you can't see a trace of people.

"Maybe they moved away long ago, and it's quite close to the northwest."

"It's possible. How many days will it take for us to go to the northwest from here?"

"Then which province or city in the northwest do you want to see?"

"Ye Fu, where do you think we should go, I trust your judgment." Qi Yuan asked loudly.

Ye Fu pondered for a moment, "There are grasslands and lakes in the northern border, but there are also snow-capped mountains, and there are deserts and sand dunes in the southern border."

"Do you want to go that far? It's estimated to be thousands of kilometers away, and your feet will probably break."

"It's estimated to be [-] kilometers away, but it's indeed a good place over there."

"Uncle Wan, do you think you can go too?"

Wan Tao nodded, "I also trust Ye Fu's judgment."

Ye Fu smiled helplessly, "It doesn't matter where I go, to be honest, I have no clue now, and I don't know where there is a suitable place to live."

"Ye Fu is right, it doesn't matter where you go, but I think the provinces in the northwest are pretty good, the geographical environment is pretty good, and I guess they are suitable for living."

The journey was hard and boring, and it was common for people to fall off their horses. Everyone had thickened their skin and flesh, so they fell off and patted the snow on their bodies, and climbed up to continue on their way.

But the hardest ones are the horses, mammoths, and elk, so everyone always stops and rests, and the speed of the road is also very slow. In order to make them eat and drink, they have to cut fresh branches every day and burn the snow with a big fire. Melt with ice cubes and add salt to keep them full.

Occasionally, everyone will come across some abandoned houses, and you can go in and stay overnight. On the endless plains, the fertile land has been abandoned.

Iron towers tens of meters high have collapsed due to the earthquake, leaving only vacant houses in every village.

"Dad, look at a tree over there with fruit." Wenwen pointed to a tree not far away, her tone full of surprise.

"Really." Officer Song was also a little surprised that there were still fruits in such extreme cold. He rode over to check, picked one and handed it to Ye Fu.

"Ye Fu, do you know him?"

Ye Fu stared at it for a few seconds, feeling a little uncertain, "This is a blueberry, it is said that blueberries can grow and bear fruit in extreme weather of minus [-] or [-] degrees."

Ye Fu sniffed it, and there was indeed a delicate fragrance, but because blueberries were very expensive, she hadn't eaten much, and she had forgotten the taste of blueberries.

Ye Fu wiped off the hoarfrost on the skin, then put it in his mouth.

The sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth, and she frowned, the fruit was too cold, and her teeth were irritated unbearably.

"It should be blueberries."

After Ye Fu confirmed, the others rode over.

"It's really a blueberry, it's grown a lot." Fang Wei's eyes were full of surprise, she jumped off the horse, picked one and put it in her mouth.

"It's sour and sweet, it's blueberries, Qi Yuan, bring a pot over here, let's pick blueberries." Qi Yuan, who was summoned, went to the container to find a pot.

"Sister Xiaoye, there are many more over there, just take a look."

Wenwen pointed to the right side, behind the snowdrift, there is indeed a small blueberry forest.

"Let's pick it up too."

This is a fruit, a fruit that is almost extinct after the end of the world.
