Chapter 11

An Yan couldn't laugh or cry. He had plans for him just now, but now... could he have the effect of a sedative and sleeping pill?

The hot spring pool is living water, which goes in and out. It's okay to soak more when you are awake, but not when you are asleep. Especially when the person taking the bath is Zhou Junting, you have to be more careful.

An Yanyi sat by the pool for more than ten minutes. Seeing that Zhou Junting showed no sign of waking up, he resignedly picked up a bath towel and wiped Zhou Junting's body, then wrapped him in a big towel and carried him into the villa to settle him down. Focus on the mobile home control core.

"Ahead" should refer to the hot springs and "fire crystal fruits" everywhere. An Yan understood this as the energy crystal fruits bred by the World Tree to store energy, but is this related to fire? That "energy" is easy to explain. I'm afraid the spring is full of energy that the fire crystal fruit can absorb.

After linking the three together, An Yanyi was a little worried. He still didn't know when this so-called fire crystal fruit would mature. Without the fire crystal fruit, what was the use of finding a place with abundant energy? The most lacking thing in mobile homes now is energy. It is really a pity that the treasure mountain is right in front of you, but you can't get in.

An Yan checked the energy of his mobile home and calculated that it should be enough to prevent a major disaster, so he gave all the remaining energy to the orange energy crystal fruit. If he was right, this should be the "Fire Crystal Fruit". As for the consequences of misjudgment, An Yan didn't think about it. If he didn't even dare to take this risk, he might as well go to sleep. The world would be peaceful in the future. If there were to be disasters one after another, he might be able to gain temporary peace by being cautious. , there is little hope of living a good life based on this alone.

Throughout history, there are few big figures with such a character. Most of the people who are remembered in history are those who dared to think and do things. An Yan doesn't compare himself to great men, but he doesn't want to live with his hands tied.

When An Yanyi was worried about the fire crystal fruit, the mobile home gave him a surprise. At dawn the next day, he was awakened by abnormal fluctuations in his control core.

The control core is also interesting. It actually lives up to its name. It can remotely control Anjia's old house in Xiayuan Village, which is the main carrier of the mobile home.

As long as An Yan sinks his consciousness into it, he can call up the three-dimensional view of the An family's old house, and even every leaf of the World Tree can be clearly seen.

Now, the orange-red energy crystal fruit on the World Tree has grown. It is obviously different from other energy crystal fruits. It is crystal clear and looks like a rare artistic treasure, making people forget to leave.

Not only was An Yanyi not tempted, but he frowned. Wouldn't such a dazzling item be coveted by others if it was placed in the eyes of the spring? It seems that I have to think of some way to cover it up, otherwise someone might take it away one day.

Seeing the missing energy, and thinking about going to Xiayuan Village to pick energy crystal fruits in person, An Yan frowned slightly. It's not that he is so lazy. In fact, every time an energy crystal matures, he has to go back to his old home and find a place with abundant energy for it. This matter is fine for the moment, but it is not difficult in a disaster. he? However, as of now, it seems that moving one's home is of little use in times of peace, and can only be used in disasters. It is so contradictory that it seems unreliable no matter how he thinks about it.

An Yanyi is good at games and has wild and unconstrained ideas. He will not be bound by stereotypes. In line with the principle that there will be no loss if he tries, he passed his ideas to the control core and tried to remotely pick orange energy crystal fruits. .

The first attempt failed, but An Yanyi was not disappointed. He increased his efforts, stopped being distracted, and focused all his consciousness on the core of control. Unexpectedly, it was more successful than expected. Not only did the Fire Crystal Fruit be picked off, but it also appeared on his body through the control core. However, this action caused a lot of burden on him. When his hand sank, his brain was in chaos.

An Yan lay down on instinct and clenched his hands tightly.

Zhou Junting slept extremely soundly that night and didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning. This was a rare thing for him who was relatively self-disciplined. In the past, he only did this when he was sick.

Zhou Junting had no intention of getting up. He was greedy for the body heat coming from his side. Seeing that An Yanyi was still sleeping, he took the initiative to lean on him until An Yanyi was so hot that he started to sweat. Then he reluctantly got dressed.

When Zhou Junting bought breakfast and returned to the villa, An Yanyi hadn't woken up yet. He stepped forward and touched his forehead. Seeing that An Yanyi didn't have a fever, his breathing was steady, and his body was fine, he didn't care and let him sleep until he was full. He was just confused. , Could it be that An Yanyi went to bed very late last night? Don't know what they are busy with.

With such doubts, Zhou Junting took a towel to wipe An Yanyi's sweat. When he wiped it on his hand, his eyes flashed slightly. What was this shining red thing that An Yanyi held so tightly?

Zhou Junting would not embarrass An Yanyi, so when he couldn't break it apart, he gave up. After wiping it, he went downstairs for breakfast.

When An Yan woke up, it was already noon. He was covered with a blanket and the air-conditioned wind was blowing slowly. Zhou Junting was sitting on a chair by the window. The sunlight shone on him, giving him a golden color, as if he had a game aura, which was particularly eye-catching.

An Yan was instantly fascinated. He did not resist and allowed himself to be intoxicated. He knew in his heart that if they continued to get along like this, the relationship between the two would probably be difficult to turn back. No, in fact, he was the only one like this. Zhou Junting had no way out for a long time. He was like a flame. After it was ignited, if no one added fuel to the fire, it would burn out and disappear at the end of the world, never to be seen again.

An Yanyi agreed to date Zhou Junting in the first place. In addition to the fact that he had a desire to conquer Zhou Junting, he also had this concern. Speaking of which, An Yanyi had very complicated feelings about Zhou Junting at first. If Zhou Junting's personality hadn't been so extreme, An Yanyi might not have faced up to the subtle thoughts in his heart, and he wouldn't be here now.

"Are you awake?" Hearing the noise, Zhou Junting turned around and said, "Go to bed early in the future. Staying up late is not good for your health."

"Okay." An Yan agreed without any intention of refuting, so as to save Zhou Junting from worrying more about him. In fact, he went to bed very early last night, so he was so sleepy, but he had an accident when he tried to pick the fire crystal fruit early in the morning. He suddenly lost all his energy and slept all morning before he recovered.

Strangely enough, as soon as An Yan got the orange energy crystal fruit, he knew it was the fire crystal fruit. I really don't know why the person who created this treasure of mobile home has such a quirk, so why don't he just say no? The energy crystal fruit has to be in his hands before the relevant information is displayed. It really adds trouble to him for no reason. If he changes to a dumber bearer, he will be blinded?

An Yanyi placed the Fire Crystal Fruit on the coffee table beside the bed very casually, not shying away from Zhou Junting at all. There are no benefits to having such an extreme and persistent boyfriend. This solves a big problem for him now.

An Yan was not worried at all that Zhou Junting would betray him. If it were anyone else, he would not dare to do it no matter how big-hearted he was.

"What is this?" Zhou Junting's eyes lit up, staring straight at the orange-red fruit-shaped transparent gemstone shining in the sun, "Given it to me?"

An Yan smiled: "Fire Crystal Guo, next time, I can't let you play with this."

"Oh——" Zhou Junting was a little disappointed. After being depressed for a while, he became energetic again. He has a very good brain. Since this gem called Fire Crystal Fruit appears here and is shown to him, it will definitely not be given to others. Then... "What are you going to use it for?"

"Put it in the spring." " An Yan pointed to the hot spring pool behind the villa, "This thing is too eye-catching. Do you have any tools? I'll make it darker in a while, or wrap it up with something."

Although Zhou Junting had some problems , He didn't understand, but still did as he was told, and at the same time put forward his opinion: "It's better to have a two-pronged approach to avoid accidents."

"Okay."

After the two of them were busy, the transformed fire crystal fruit was mixed with a pile of strange shapes in the hot spring pool. Among the pebbles, it is inconspicuous at all. Even if someone holds it in their hands, they will not think anything of it.

Happy times always pass by in the blink of an eye. On Monday morning, Zhou Junting didn't leave the villa until almost nine o'clock, which made An Yanyi quite funny.

"If you like it, we can come back next week."

"Really?" Zhou Junting immediately resurrected with full health.

"Yes."

With An Yanyi's promise, Zhou Junting was in high spirits all day long, and his work efficiency was greatly improved. He ended the day's affairs early and began to prepare for the renovation of An's old house.

This time it is not just a slight repair like before. It needs to be renovated inside and out. The courtyard wall needs to be taller and thicker. The main body of Anjia's old house also needs to be reinforced. All the glass must be replaced with bulletproof and explosion-proof glass, and the basement needs to be renovated. It has good leakage prevention measures. If the An family's old house had not been of commemorative significance, Zhou Junting would have wanted to tear it down and rebuild it.

Not long after An Yan returned home, he went to the rest house to find An Jianmin, planning to inherit the An family's old house in advance.

An Jianmin was a little surprised: "Yanyi, why do you want that old house?"

"Live here." An Yanyi answered matter-of-factly, and gave An Jianmin a look that said, "Are you confused enough to even ask this?"

An Jianmin was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared, but he had nothing to do with this kid. Wasn't An Yanyi accustomed to his temperament because he was neither big nor small?

There is no way. Among An Jianmin's many grandchildren, An Yanyi is the most popular with him. It's not that An Yanyi can coax people with his sweet words. It's actually the kid's temper that suits him. Not only is he optimistic and cheerful, but he's also decent. He has an air of arrogance, can relax his figure, has a broad heart, and does not hold grudges easily, and does not cause him trouble. Unlike other grandchildren who are always unable to let go in front of him and are very restrained, he has no choice but to keep a straight face. Maintain the majesty of his elders.

How could he play with this? Wouldn't he be overjoyed when he met An Yan?

This kid also strives to do the same thing, but he is content with the status quo and has no ambition. As a result, he stayed at home after graduating from college. An Jianmin was so tortured that he lost his temper. In the end, he had no choice but to let him, as long as he was happy, anyway. An Yanyi didn't harm anyone, and it was better than those prodigal sons who lived and drank.

"The old house is not valuable, and life in the country is not convenient. How can you get used to living there?" An Jianmin obviously didn't believe it.

"I have nothing to do. I just want to renovate the old house to vent my energy and save myself from making mistakes."

"Aren't you working with the boys from the Zhou family and don't have a place to vent your energy?"

"Grandpa, why are you talking like this? Vulgar words are not in line with your status." Once An Yan quits, what does it mean to work together? They are in a serious relationship, okay?

"Isn't that all there is to it?" An Jianmin pouted. That's An Yanyi. The family doesn't expect much from him. If An Xuyang causes this incident, will the eldest son's family be in trouble? "Stop fooling me, tell me, what's going on?"

"I really want to renovate an old house, I have no other ideas." An Yanyi was helpless. This was the drawback of his Chang Caiyi entertainment. , when he talks about business, people mistakenly think that he is joking again, "It's just that the transformation is a bit extensive. I'm not worried about other people's opinions. I want to get the house first to save myself from being criticized later."

An Jianmin After pondering for a long time, he felt that there was really no profit to be made from the An family's old house. His son and daughter still looked down upon this thing, so if he gave it to An Yanyi now, there would be no fuss, and he felt relieved.

When An Yan saw this, he kept up his efforts, but An Jianmin couldn't stand it, so he promised to have someone do it for him tomorrow, so An Yanyi stopped bothering.

"Grandpa, grandma hasn't come back yet? I haven't seen her in almost half a year." An Yanyi didn't miss grandma too much, but it was too deserted to leave grandpa alone. No matter how free he was, he couldn't come here to accompany grandpa every day.

"At your second uncle's house." An Jianmin's expression darkened, "Let her go. It's been a long time, not less than the past few years."

"Grandpa, let me tell you..." Seeing that An Jianmin was upset, Gao, An Yan quickly changed the subject. It would be better for him to stay less involved in the affairs of his elders. He must remember not to mention this matter in front of his grandfather next time.

☆ 12. Chapter 12

Chapter 12

The An family's old house was built by An Jianmin's generation, but the homestead has been passed down for many years, dating back at least hundreds of years.

The property rights of rural houses have not been completely liberalized yet. That is to say, the An family still has a certain status, so no one is interested in this house. Otherwise, once An Jianmin passes away, it may not be so easy for An Yanyi to inherit the old house of the An family. The resistance did not come from relatives of the An family. Just as An Jianmin thought, the house was indeed worthless. Otherwise, it would not be An Yan's turn, but the Xiayuan Village collective.

After An Jianmin became successful, he settled in Huajing City. An's family only had one house in Xiayuan Village and no land at all. All of it was taken over by the village collective. The reason why the ancestral home is not abandoned is because it is the root of the An family. An Jianmin took it over from his elders. He did not want his generation to be unable to even keep the ancestral home, so he gave it to An Yanyi because he would not abandon it. Not without reason to be pampered.

An Jianmin acted swiftly, and within a few days, the An family's old house fell under the name of An Yan. All the relatives of the An family got the news, and everyone in Xiayuan Village knew about it. An Jianmin is indeed a person who can do big things. If he doesn't do it, he will do it. Once he does it, he will do it to the end. He will implement the matter thoroughly and leave no loopholes for others. An Yanyi has no worries from now on.

As soon as Anjia's old house was obtained, Zhou Junting, who had already done the preparatory work, immediately took action and sent a professional engineering team to Anjia's old house to renovate it. Except for leaving the main part of the old house and the old trees in the backyard intact, other parts were renovated. He was changed beyond recognition.

As soon as An Yan saw the design drawings, he didn't comment. It was beautiful, but it had lost the feeling of a decades-old house. He didn't care about these and just followed Zhou Junting's happiness.

In order to avoid accidents, An Yanyi specifically ordered the engineering team to start work at night and finish before the sun came up. The entire construction period passed safely.

The main part of Anjia's old house only has two floors, and the renovation project was not large. With enough manpower, it was completed in more than half a month.

An Yanyi and Zhou Junting rushed over to check and accept it in person. After confirming that there was no problem, he quickly settled the balance.

Looking at the newly renovated An family's old house, An Yan would be hypocritical if he said he was unhappy. Although many familiar scenery was missing, he was still more happy than sorry.

"Yan Yi, is this the secret you're talking about?" Zhou Junting looked around the cabin with a hint of novelty in his eyes. The last time he came back, he hadn't noticed such an elegant place.

"Well, you can feel the difference if you experience it carefully."

Zhou Junting followed the instructions and soon discovered something was wrong. He frowned slightly: "The temperature here is much lower than outside. Don't tell me, even you don't sweat. ."

An Yan raised the corner of his mouth, with a proud look on his face, and briefly informed Zhou Junting of the existence of the mobile home.

Ever since the last fire crystal fruit incident, Zhou Junting had doubts in his mind, but An Yan didn't take the initiative to bring it up, so he didn't ask. Anyway, as long as he didn't dump him, he could ignore other things, but this didn't mean that He was not curious about these and did not expect to get the answer so quickly.

Zhou Junting was so excited that he wanted to shout loudly to vent his excitement at the moment. An Yanyi shared such an important secret with him, doesn't it mean that he occupies a very important position in An Yanyi's heart? At least An Yan trusted him more than anyone else.

"Give me some reaction, won't you be so happy?" An Yanyi was waiting for Zhou Junting to praise him a few words. Unexpectedly, Zhou Junting was stunned and did not move for a long time. He had to stretch out his hand and wave it in front of his eyes. Only then did Zhou Junting become confused. Which thought was brought back.

"Who else have you told this about?" Zhou Junting looked serious and stared at An Yanyi without blinking.

"It's just you." An Yan replied without thinking.

"Then you know that I know, and you can't tell the third person." A trace of cruelty flashed in Zhou Junting's eyes, and the dark side of his personality was revealed unconsciously.

"Do you think everyone will hit the wall like you and not look back?" An Yan glanced at Zhou Junting. He is not a naive little kid who doesn't know the world. He is just too lazy to calculate and care. In fact, he sees everything in his eyes. Who treats him sincerely and who is hypocritical? One thing in front of his face and another behind his back. Just use His thoughts are clear at a glance.

Zhou Junting was different. Even if his abnormal temperament were put aside, the fact that he was alone despite having many relatives made An Yan feel more at ease with him than with anyone else.

Although his relatives were very kind to An Yanyi, An Yanyi never thought of revealing this secret to them. It was not that they were not good enough, but that they were not his relatives. Grandpa had many children and grandchildren, so it was impossible to only consider him. His parents also said that too More will only cause them more trouble.

Seeing An Yan say this, Zhou Junting's tense mind suddenly relaxed. He knew that his request was a bit excessive, but he just couldn't help it. He could ignore the rest, but this was not an option.

With nothing to worry about, Zhou Junting's brain immediately started spinning: "Yan Yi, you said the mobile home was launched on the day of the meteor shower?" "

Yeah."

"I remember your old tree has been there for a long time, right?"

"Yeah."

"How come it's so early? Why don't you come late and why should you open it on that day?"

An Yan was startled, he really hadn't thought about this: "You mean..."

"I think life will be difficult in the future." Zhou Junting said quietly. Although this was just a random guess on his part, he was at least sixty-seven sure. Now that the country's economy is gradually recovering and social order is gradually stabilizing, a sense of uneasiness is slowly eroding people's minds.

Recently, accidents have been heard frequently. The phenomenon of spontaneous human combustion is nothing new. Although the overall number is not large, it happens almost every day. Of course, this is all internal information and has not been made public, but it is difficult to keep everyone's mouth shut. There are always people who can make inferences from clues.

In the past, crops were dying in droves only in a few places, but now it has spread to all parts of the country. Because the severity in most places was mild, it did not cause panic for the time being. Farmers thought the crops were killed by the sun due to the hot weather.

In addition, even wild plants are affected. They are in better condition. After all, they are naturally nourished and have strong vitality. Not many of them die for no reason.

This is true for people and plants, and animals have not escaped the disaster. The mortality rate of livestock in various farms has increased. Even the owners of the farms may not be aware of this, but they have not escaped the eyes of the country.

Marine life is no exception. After the meteorite disaster, the harvest of seafood decreased. Coupled with the unexplained deaths, the price of seafood has remained high.

In the past, Zhou Junting didn't think this was serious. He thought that with the power of the country, one day he would be able to find the cause and finally get through it safely. But now he is not so optimistic. Maybe things will get worse and eventually reach the point of being out of control.

"What do you think?" An Yan was silent, "The mobile home can only provide shelter, and that's when there is plenty of energy. It can't solve the problem of food and drink." "

This is enough." Zhou Junting swept away the previous gloom and spoke in a brisk tone. Said, "This is just the worst-case scenario. Maybe I'm overthinking it, and the days may get better and better. Besides, even if a catastrophic disaster does happen, we have the treasure of mobile homes in our hands, so we can do more." A chance of life, if even we can't pass this level, how many people in this world will survive? At worst, they will be buried with the whole world."

An Yan gave Zhou Junting a thumbs up, but he didn't expect Zhou Junting to be so open-minded.

In fact, An Yan thought too much. Because he was by his side, Zhou Junting moved forward so boldly. As he said, the most they could do was die together. As long as he was not left alone, he had nothing to fear.

Arctic Ocean.

The ice in the center began to loosen, and the cracks became larger and larger until they were divided into several pieces, and then broken into dozens of pieces, slowly moving away from each other.

At the same time, Antarctica also encountered a similar situation. Research stations from various countries evacuated urgently and transmitted the latest information back to the motherland.

Countries began to analyze the situation in depth, but to no avail, they immediately convened meteorological, hydrological and related experts in the name of the United Nations to participate in the Polar Conference.

"Various data show that although the temperature is abnormal, it is far from the point of breaking the polar ice. Please abandon your prejudices, speak boldly, and make reasonable speculations." The host of the meeting offered some suggestions.

By this time, the participating scientists no longer cared about reputation, and some hypotheses and inferences that they had not dared to say casually in the past were expressed one after another.

"Our research institute has installed temperature detectors in the polar regions. When the polar ice broke, there was a momentary high temperature of several hundred degrees, and then returned to normal. But based on this, at most a small amount of ice melted, and it would immediately return to its original state after the high temperature. Facts On the contrary, the ice cracked."

"According to our research institute's speculation, there should be some kind of substance or energy that radiates high temperature to nearby areas instantly, causing the ice to melt and fragment." "

Then how to explain the Arctic Ocean and Antarctic ice? The layers are cracking one after another? What power can do this? Don't tell me this is man-made. No country has such advanced technology." "Everyone, please see, after the

last meteor shower, the earth's rotation axis has deviated from its revolution. The trajectory has also changed slightly. The climate is already abnormal. I think the possibility of man-made changes is low. The existing anomalies may be caused by the new climate caused by changes in the earth's rotation and orbit." "No,

I don't agree with this view. The climate No matter how much changes are made, the ice in the center of the polar region will not break. At most, the ice will melt and shrink."

"Quick, stop him. How can such a ridiculous inference be told at such a conference? Isn't this ridiculous?" The director of the China Observatory was stunned and growled angrily into the walkie-talkie. It was unreasonable that the report that he had sent back was announced at such a moment. It was embarrassing internally, but it was too much to be embarrassed abroad. What puzzled him even more was how could Director Ji appear on such an occasion?

It's a pity that no matter how angry the director is, the established facts cannot be changed. Director Ji has not done anything extraordinary, so no staff member will ban him from speaking for no reason. Didn't the host of the meeting say before that we need to brainstorm ideas and invite experts to use their imaginations? No matter how absurd the inference is, it will only be refuted and will not be stopped midway through the speech.

Director Ji was still talking eloquently, and most of the people in the meeting looked shocked. They were not shocked by Director Ji's assumptions, but were stunned by his bold behavior that did not follow the rules at all.

No matter how outrageous other experts' statements are, at least they are not too far away from reality. Director Ji's remarks could be turned into a novel.

At first, the venue was in an uproar, and everyone didn't take it seriously. Later, the noise became quieter and quieter, until it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

In multiple spaces, the two worlds interact with each other after they meet. The abnormal climate of the earth is all caused by the disturbance of the other world.

According to Director Ji's speculation, the intersection between the other world and the earth is a high-temperature world filled with fire elements, with an average temperature of about fifty degrees. This kind of fire element is extremely violent. The fire element is dense to a certain extent and condenses into fire element crystals. When the energy bursts out instantly, it will cause the polar ice to melt and shatter.

As for why there are no abnormalities in other high-temperature places, but the polar regions are most affected, it should be that the fire elements in these two locations in the other world are denser than anywhere else.

China Observatory.

Zhang Nan touched Xiao Han with his shoulder and said with admiration: "How do you convince Director Ji to read this report out at the conference?"

"This hypothesis is perfect for explaining the current situation." Xiao. Han pushed down his glasses on the bridge of his nose with a calm expression, "Everything that goes wrong can be explained, including meteorites falling from the sky, polar ice breaking, spontaneous combustion of the human body, abnormal death of animals and plants, abnormal temperatures, etc. How can Director Ji not be moved?"

"But there is no basis."

"What's the point? As long as someone believes this hypothesis, it can be deduced." Xiao Han calmly turned out a stack of information, "This is a sample I took from a nearby location Please look at the data carefully."

Zhang Nan took it casually and became more and more shocked as he looked at it. Everywhere where there is an abnormality, the temperature will be two or three degrees higher than the surrounding area, or even four or five degrees. This is no problem in one or two places. There are already temperature differences in various places, but this is the case in all places. Not by chance.

"Is there more?"

"No, I have a lot of things to do, so I don't have so much time to devote to this." Xiao Han shook his head. What he didn't say in his heart was that this was just the beginning. If he couldn't get through it now, then... then there would be no future. "You didn't pour the herbal tea I made for you, did you?"

"No, you're drinking it." Speaking of this Zhang Nan instantly wrinkled into a bitter face. This herbal tea is too unpleasant to drink, but the effect is pretty good. The acne on my face has gone away, the heat has gone away, and I can sleep much more peacefully at night. Otherwise, he would not be willing to drink such bitter herbal tea.

"You don't need to drink too much. A small cup every day is enough." Xiao Han wanted to tease Zhang Nan, but this herbal tea was difficult to make and couldn't be wasted.

Zhang Nan didn't want to talk more about this, so he immediately changed the subject: "We are going out to play this weekend. Staying in this place where birds don't shit, I'm almost getting moldy."

Xiao Han chuckled: "It's not as good as you said. Exaggerating? Okay, okay, I'll take you out for fun on the weekend."

"Oh yeah!" Zhang Nan jumped three feet high with joy. If he hadn't been deceived by Xiao Han when he was looking for a job, he wouldn't have come to such a remote place. Normally I can't find a place to go out for fun, so I can only go into the city on weekends to enjoy the popularity.

At the polar conference, experts had a heated discussion on Director Ji's hypothesis. Although many people did not believe it, they could not refute it. By following this hypothesis, everything happening on the earth today can be perfectly explained, but this does not mean that this hypothesis is correct. It may only be partially consistent in the early stage, and subsequent changes are far from this hypothesis.

Unexpectedly, Director Ji's speculation was not over yet. After he saw the noise at the venue slowly subsided, he dropped another bombshell: "There is not just one different space. If multiple spaces are confirmed to exist, then the earth may also encounter a second and third one." One, or even more different spaces."

"Alarmist."

"Yes, multiple spaces are just hypotheses, and space collisions are even more nonsense. We want evidence, not fantasy."

Director Ji was unmoved. , continued his speech: "The earth is very likely to be at the intersection center of various spaces, or not far from the intersection node. Every time it intersects with a different space, it will be greatly affected by the different space. The conclusion is that everyone should find a way as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will only be It's even worse. Just imagine, what if we encounter a high-temperature planet like Venus, or a low-temperature planet like Jupiter, or an animal paradise in the Cretaceous Era... These are all fine, but if we directly hit a star, everyone will be in trouble. Finished."

The venue was silent for a while, and all the experts opened their mouths, not knowing what to say about Director Ji's whims.

Most people may think this is impossible, but there are a few people who follow Director Ji's train of thought. Once the hypothesis he proposed is established, things may develop in an unpredictable direction.

Don't think too much about this matter. If you think about it, it will be the end of the world. Not to mention the impact of high and low temperature alien space on the earth, the earth will face catastrophe just by encountering an alien space full of water. And we are encountering similar troubles right now. The polar ice is fragmenting and gradually drifting to low-latitude seas. I am afraid that within a few months, the low-altitude areas of the earth will be submerged by seawater.

Although this matter can be solved, as long as the people in the areas that may become swamps are moved to high altitude areas, how can it be easy to do this if it affects the whole body in one move? The losses alone will reach astronomical figures, and no one dares to imagine how much the economy will regress.

What's more, the earth has just experienced a meteorite natural disaster. If there is another large-scale migration, the vitality of all countries on the earth will be greatly damaged. Many countries will even have no inch of land except mountains. How to arrange the arrangements for the people of so many homeless countries?

Originally, this conference was to solve the problem of sea level rise caused by melting glaciers. Unexpectedly, Director Ji made such a conjecture before entering the topic of the conference... The

conference was not interrupted because of this. There were many critics of Director Ji's hypothesis, and the official He didn't express his position explicitly, he only recorded it in the record, but it left an indelible impression in the hearts of everyone in the congregation. As long as it was proven with facts, it would quickly take root and sprout, and it would never be eradicated.

Director Ji sat down and wiped the sweat from his forehead, his heart pounding. Damn it, why did he say such nonsense just now? Obviously he only planned to publish the first half of the theory. He had no intention of mentioning the intersection of multiple different spaces with the earth later. Even he himself felt that he was thinking too much. But at that moment, he blurted it out by some strange coincidence. Could it be that God was somehow behind it? Blessing?

After thinking about it, Director Ji's face turned pale. God bless you, isn't this a disguised proof that what he said is very likely to come true? He would rather be ridiculed and despised than his hypothesis come true, and mankind will usher in endless hell.

The Polar Conference is not open to the public. An Yanyi knows nothing about it and is sitting at home concentrating on researching mobile homes.

After the first fire crystal fruit was born, the energy of Mobile Home entered a virtuous cycle. An Yan became a frequent visitor to Yunshan Villa. He would go to the villa every few days, inject the energy absorbed by the fire crystal fruit into the mobile home, and then put it back into the spring.

Speaking of this, An Yan couldn't help but feel discouraged. The mobile home is too unintelligent. Through the control core, he can only control the items produced by the mobile home itself, such as the fruits and leaves grown by the world tree. Other items are powerless. If he wants to use them, he must go to Anjia's old house. Just fine.

Another point that is criticized is that the items taken out of the mobile home can be stored and stored at will within the scope of the mobile home. After leaving the mobile home, they can be collected, but not put out. Someone must take them there.

No, An Yanyi can collect the fire crystal fruit at will within the remote control distance of the control core, but he has to make a trip to Yunshan Villa to put it back. Therefore, unless you change the place to absorb energy, this function is actually of little use, of course, with the exception of emergencies.

It took more than two months for the first fire crystal fruit to mature, but it only took a month for the second fire crystal fruit. For this reason, Zhou Junting used his connections to spend a lot of money to buy another villa with a spring to avoid being exposed. The existence of fire crystal fruit.

Then, there was no such thing. When the third fire crystal fruit had just been conceived, the government announced that the polar glaciers had broken off and floated to low-latitude seas, and the people were in an uproar.

The government had been prepared for a long time and promulgated policies one after another. While appeasing the people, it sent troops to raid the formation. When the people's mood stabilized, they began to organize large-scale relocation of people from coastal areas, including Huajing City.

At this time, it was already December, almost a month before the Polar Conference.

The An family has a lot of energy, but An Yanyi didn't get any information, which shows how thoroughly the government concealed this matter.

An Yanyi didn't think that his family members didn't know about it. The only possibility was that the higher-ups had issued a hush-hush order to prevent irrelevant people from knowing the news, so as not to cause panic and then affect the government's actions.

An Yan thought clearly with his toes. This month, the government may have moved important supplies and personnel to safe places. There will be a one-month buffer time, and the people will not be afraid to follow up, and it will be easier to manage.

In order to keep the insider secret, Anjia must be given some benefits. Anjia obtained a place to live in Anping City, the new capital city where he worked overtime and overnight. Correspondingly, Anjia must fully support the country.

It is impossible for any country to give up on existing development based on theoretical data alone. Large-scale population migration took place. It took a full month for senior government officials to go from initially being noncommittal to finally having to accept this fact.

Half a month after the Polar Conference, the sea level rose less than half a meter, and in one month, the overall rise was more than one meter. Obviously, as time goes by, the sea level rise will only become larger and larger in the same period of time.

The overall sea level has risen by one meter. This figure is already quite shocking. Some low-lying areas along the coast have been flooded. If there were not many such places, there would have been an uproar.

During this period, it was obvious that the state had implemented extraordinary measures to block information and control the news. Not only the TV, but also the Internet was clean. The Internet police were more powerful than ever. As soon as relevant reports appeared, they immediately deleted and banned the account, and did not give any information to the informed public. Chance.

No, even An Yanyi and Zhou Junting, who have a keen sense of smell, were so late in noticing, which shows how much effort the country has put into this.

As for foreign news? Sorry, the state has also intervened, and all news that can appear in front of the public has been filtered. Ten days ago, China completely cut off all external communication channels. Not to mention communication, even all private external traffic was stopped. , planes were grounded, ferries were stopped, and the border was heavily guarded.

A week before this, the country issued a recall order for overseas Chinese. Those who returned to the country on time were welcomed by the country, while others were abandoned by the country. This is their own choice. Since they like foreign countries so much, it is better to stay abroad. The country will not take advantage of it to find fault. If it were not considered that they are all Chinese, the government would not even issue a recall order for overseas Chinese. With fewer people, we can save some food rations. Now the country is worried about this matter, and we wish it would be like this.

In the past, China had to maintain its reputation as a big country, but now it has no concerns at all. It is a dream to ask China to donate food and land! Of course, talents still need to be introduced. The more difficult the time, the more elites from all walks of life are needed to be in charge. Otherwise, how will the remaining one billion people be resettled after the meteorite disaster? You can't eat chaffy vegetables every day, right?

The domestic situation is stable, and most people in low-altitude areas consciously obey the country's orders and begin to pack their bags intensively. Then, according to order, they get on trains and move to the northern and central and western regions.

People who have cars and places to go don't have to worry about the government. After getting the pass, they can find their own way out. The

external situation is very tense. The advantages of China's vast land and abundant resources are fully exerted at this moment. Many surrounding countries are jealous, but in After seeing the troops stationed on the border, I could only think of other ways. I was afraid that I would not dare to confront China until the end of the road.

☆ 14. Chapter 14

Chapter 14

As soon as An Yan planned to transfer part of the supermarket supplies to Anjia's old house and transport the rest to Anping City, the country took the first step and took over everything in the supermarket.

Of course, the country was not occupied in vain. An Yanyi and Zhou Junting received material compensation, but this amount...don't mention it.

Forget it, sometimes people can't care too much in life. It's good that the country only collects it at this time. Besides, the compensation is not just materials, but also other preferential treatment. Based on these alone, the road ahead for the two of them will be easier. .

Fortunately, there is still a small warehouse that is not exposed, and the supplies inside should be enough for them to use for a while.

Although An Yanyi understood the country's intention of doing this, he would not take the initiative to confess and hand over the last bit of goods. He still had this in the city. Just like other businessmen who reluctantly return personal belongings to the public, he had a look on his face and dealt with the handover personnel without leaving any trace, finally fooling them.

Naturally, this kind of thing is not an exception. All critical materials are subject to state control, and grain and oil are the top priority.

An Yan couldn't help but feel lucky that the two of them saw the opportunity early and hoarded a large amount of supplies after the An family's old house was renovated. Otherwise, they would have been really constrained.

However, the situation is not much better. The altitude of Xiayuan Village is also not high, only a little better than Huajing City. It is also within the migration range. It is temporarily impossible to move the home, which is a bit troublesome. However, the sea water will not be able to flood there for a while. If the situation is good, maybe it will not be affected. After all, the total amount of glaciers is only an estimate. No one is sure that the experts' guesses are accurate. How much the sea level will rise depends on the facts. , the two still have time to prepare.

Most of An Yanyi's close relatives are serving in the government army. Except for a few who are fortunate enough to be assigned to work in the relocation location, the rest are among the last few relocation batches. Accordingly, family members have become priority recipients, and An Yanyi is among them. After the first batch of experts and important scientific researchers in various fields passed, it was An Yanyi's turn. Zhou Junting was in the same ranking as him, so needless to say, he naturally followed him.

The migration was in good order, and the convoys leaving the city were not crowded. An Yanyi did not wait long at the exit of the city before it was their turn.

Zhou Junting had previously sold some of the company's assets at a discount. Even so, Taiyi Group still suffered huge losses during this relocation. However, everyone was the same and there was no point in complaining. Could they still be left alone?

Without space and equipment, it would be very difficult for Taiyi Group to reopen. The state wanted to focus on people's livelihood first, leaving some less important enterprises to develop on their own, with only a small amount of subsidies provided by the state. Many industries of Taiyi Group have nothing to do with ordinary people's livelihood. Light instruments are okay, but it is not that easy to move heavy equipment, not to mention that the group's transport vehicles are not enough.

Zhou Junting held a shareholders' meeting, and the managing directors unanimously decided to allocate part of the group's materials according to shares, and move the rest in batches. At that time, whether everyone should leave or stay will be discussed separately.

This time is the first batch of relocations. All the company's trucks are used to carry the most valuable company property. The remaining vehicles are divided among the managers to make it easier to move and return them to the company.

Zhou Junting held the largest number of shares and was allocated the largest number of materials and trucks. He moved all the materials he could in Huajing City at once, except for real estate. Among them, he and An Yan were the only ones left in the joint venture supermarket. A warehouse of supplies is included.

Since Zhou Junting was traveling with An Jia, the motorcade in which An Jia was traveling looked very large.

Looking at the container trucks, many people looked envious. Let's not talk about cars. Just being able to get so much fuel is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

What everyone doesn't know is that Zhou Junting paid a heavy price for this. Not only did the supermarket he opened with An Yanyi be expropriated by the government, but the warehouse at the headquarters of Taiyi Group's hotel chain was also not spared. Except for the inventory of each hotel, everything else was taken. How can it be justified if we don't get any preferential treatment from the national pocket?

Even if he got the oil quota, Zhou Junting still had to buy oil at a high price, let alone a free price, even at the normal price. This shows how strict the country's oil control is.

This is true for people who have contributed to the country. Ordinary people cannot use cars unscrupulously. The government only provides fuel for one car to each household at a regular price. Others have to think of their own ways. If they want to drive a second or third car, then Just buy it at a premium, but you may not be able to buy it yet.

Even in good order, such a huge number still forced the convoy to meander forward. Coupled with the continuous influx of vehicles at various intersections, the speed could never be increased. From Huajing City to the new capital city of Anping City, it was quite a long journey. It took two days and two nights to arrive.

Looking at the empty space, An Yanyi was at a loss.

"What are you thinking about? Get to work quickly. Do you still think that I, an old man, can't do this?"

An Jianmin patted An Yanyi on the shoulder vigorously, and An Yanyi finally came back to his senses.

"Grandpa, is it really just an open space?" An Yan rubbed his eyes, and he still couldn't believe it.

"Which houses do you want to live in?" An Jianmin pointed to the brand-new but dense buildings not far away and smiled, "That's okay. With conditions like ours, each person can only get ten at most. If you want to live in a few square meters, you can apply now."

An Yanyi immediately shook his head and joked, there are good ones, who wants to live in a bad one? Isn't it just an open space? They built it themselves.

An Yan may not be good at saying goodbye, but setting up a tent is no problem. Now it has entered the midwinter season. The temperature is not as high as before, but it is still around 20 degrees. It is not cold at all. An Yanyi and others started to work together and quickly set up a tent and put An Jianmin and Zhou Junting together. People are given priority.

An Jianmin sat on the chair and turned his head to look at Zhou Junting carefully: "Don't focus on Yan Yi, live a good life with him, I will take care of other things."

Zhou Junting nodded solemnly, stood up and made a cup with freshly boiled water. He held the tea in both hands and handed it to An Jianmin respectfully: "Grandpa, please drink tea."

An Jianmin almost laughed angrily. The boy from the Zhou family is really a character, capable of bending and stretching, and can see the situation clearly. No, now Just hit the snake and stick it on the stick. How can this cup of tea be so delicious? If he accepted it, he would formally accept him as his grandson-in-law from now on.

An Jianmin stared at Zhou Junting with good eyes for a long time. Seeing that he was still smiling and showed no sign of persistence, he had no choice but to sigh, bring the tea that was no longer hot, and drink it in one gulp. Forget it, since the two of them had been allowed to interact with each other for a long time, there was no need for him to give him a favor at this time: "Come, play chess with me, an old man."

An Jianmin took out the Go game he carried with him and placed it on the low table. , the two began to kill everyone on the chessboard.

After playing a game of chess, An Jianmin was in a good mood: "Yes, it's good to have you by Yanyi's side. He is still young, so you should be more considerate."

Zhou Junting was not in a bad mood, and the old and the young were chatting and laughing. Start killing the next set again.

An Jianmin became more and more satisfied with Zhou Junting as he looked at him. An Yan was too righteous and had never experienced anything before. He would not be able to be cruel and he would have to suffer a huge loss to turn around. His temperament was fine in peacetime, but it is hard to say now. .

Zhou Junting complemented his grandson, and now An Jianmin felt completely at ease with An Yan. He was not afraid that An Yanyi would not be able to withstand head-on competition, but he was afraid that An Yanyi would be taken advantage of. Even though this kid usually has nothing to do, if he really cares about it, he will never fail to do anything. An Jianmin has more confidence in An Yanyi than the rest of the An family.

The old man and the young man are free to play chess, but An Yanyi is so busy now that he wishes he could grow three heads and six arms.

In the past, it was the family that took care of everything, and it was not An Yanyi's turn to worry about it. Now that the family is old and weak, can An Yanyi not be the one to take the lead? It takes time to clear and arrange personnel and materials, and more importantly, to implement the matter of settling down and building a house.

Contacting the engineering team and purchasing materials were not easy tasks.

The An family can actually think of a way in advance. With their relationship, it is not difficult to solve the matter. This time, the An family did not use any power for the first time. They followed the rules and did whatever the country asked them to do. There was no hint of going through the back door. No.

An Yanyi was not stupid. After walking around the nearby area, he quickly understood the reason. The An family knows the general situation so well that even the superiors see it. No, the living area allocated to the An family is much larger than that of the same family. It is a blessing to suffer a disadvantage. Most of the time, these words are just self-comfort, but now it really shows Its power.

An Yan worked non-stop all day and finally arranged all the personnel and materials.

This time, the people brought by the An family were okay, not many, but Zhou Junting had a large group of people, at least dozens of them. These people couldn't be thrown away after use, they had to be settled well, maybe something It's time to use them.

In today's world, no one knows what will happen in the future. Maybe everyone will take root and thrive in this wilderness as before, or maybe one day something goes wrong in life and order is no longer in order. Then we will have to rely on these things at hand. A man is nothing but a commander without manpower. No matter how many things he holds in his hand, he may not be able to keep it.

"Tired?" After dinner, Zhou Junting looked at An Yanyi who was slumped in the chair and felt a little distressed.

"I'm tired." An Yan pressed his thumb between his eyebrows. He really didn't expect that dealing with government officials would be so difficult. Normally, Anjia has a certain status, so it shouldn't be difficult to apply for building materials. Unexpectedly, he encountered a lot of resistance.

The staff said they were acting impartially, but were they actually taking the opportunity to obstruct it?

Seeing that the matter couldn't be done today, An Yanyi didn't argue too much with these people. He planned to go to his grandfather to ask after a while to see if the political enemies of the An family had smoothed the relationship and secretly caused trouble for the An family.

"You rest first, I'll go to grandpa's place." An Yan got up and walked towards the tent next door.

"Wait, I'm going too." Zhou Junting randomly approved some clothes and followed An Yanyi.

There was nothing unspeakable about this matter, and An Yanyi would not object. He stopped until Zhou Junting followed, and then they walked into An Jianmin's tent together.

"Come over here, what's the matter?" An Jianmin raised his head when he heard the noise. Seeing that it was them, he simply put down his pen and concentrated on greeting the two of them.

An Yan explained the whole matter clearly in a few words. An Jianmin thought for a while and said, "If you go tomorrow, you can delay it for a few days at most, and this matter will be done." "

Why?" An Yan frowned.

An Jianmin shook his head. An Yanyi was still too young, but it was not his fault. This was his first contact with official matters, and he couldn't figure out that it was not his fault.

"No matter who is the person who takes action, as long as his head is not caught in the door, he will naturally know what is good. Don't forget, there are many people in Anjia Ke serving the country in the coastal areas. Who would dare to do something like this that is obviously holding back the government? Are you making a big fuss?"

An Yan suddenly realized, and then began to think, maybe this time it was not the political enemies of the An family who took action, but maybe some people were short-sighted. They were jealous when the An family got such a large piece of land, so they tried to think of ways to punish them. But I don't dare to go too far even if I think about it, the approval slip will definitely come out after a while.

I hope these people can be clear-headed and stop being so easy to deal with.

After the two returned to their tent, Zhou Junting suggested to An Yanyi: "Tomorrow I will find someone to go with you to deal with such small officials. They are more experienced than you and me."

"Okay."

There was no words for the whole night.

Early the next morning, An Yanyi took the special assistant Chen assigned to him by Zhou Junting to the centralized material management office.

This time, An Yanyi did not participate. He sat beside him and watched the bickering between Special Assistant Chen and the clerk.

Seeing that all his words had no effect, Special Assistant Chen shut up, walked to An Yanyi and sat down beside him.

"Why aren't you leaving yet? We're busy here and don't have time to greet you."

"I'm tired, sit down for a while and then leave." Assistant Chen was unmoved and made up his mind not to leave. Of course, he wasn't being a rogue. He couldn't do such a dishonorable thing, so he certainly had other motives for staying.

Seeing that Hong refused to leave, the office staff stopped caring about them.

Soon, someone else came over, with the same purpose as An Yan and the two of them.

Assistant Chen immediately became energetic. When the clerk was about to stamp and release the supplies, he immediately stepped forward to stop him: "Oh, didn't it mean that the supplies were tight, so we have to wait? Why didn't I look like it? They approved it, and we Can't approve it? This is your clerk's fault. I will file a complaint in a moment."

After saying that, Special Assistant Chen shook his phone, implying that he had recorded it.

The clerks immediately became dark-faced. If the matter really got serious, it would be extremely disadvantageous for them. They had no choice but to send the two plague gods An Jia away, so as not to attract the attention of the superiors.

After walking out of the material distribution office, An Yan gave Assistant Chen a thumbs up, feeling as bright and sunny as a March day. He really didn't expect that things could be done like this, so he learned a lesson.

Special Assistant Chen is also happy. If the matter is successfully completed, he will definitely receive a lot of rewards. Now every family has a quota to purchase other supplies except what they own. As long as he and Zhou Junting work hard, the benefits needless to say, at least it can improve the life of the family.

It is not easy to find a job now. Just like Taiyi Group, more than half of the employees have been laid off and need to find a new job. Now, the most urgent need in each new city is all kinds of hard labor. How can someone like him, who has been sitting in an office, be qualified?

Therefore, Special Assistant Chen did not make any mistakes in the job at hand. If he doesn't do well, there will be people waiting behind him. He can easily count the number of people who want to pull him down. Fortunately, he has always been conscientious and has never made any big mistakes. Otherwise, he might be like everyone else and consider whether to work hard on the construction site.

The country does not support idle people, and it is a wonderful idea to get something for nothing. If these people are very hungry, there is no need to worry about them being disobedient.

After getting the building materials, An Yan was free. There was nothing he could do, his connections were there, and even though he could get things done by asking someone to help him, he had to find people he didn't usually interact with, so even if he had to put in a lot of effort, he might not be able to get things done. There is a big difference between getting it done and getting it done well. At this time, if you want to find the construction team, you have to work with Zhou Junting.

After two days of rest, Zhou Junting's body, which was a little tired after a long journey, had recovered. It was no problem to do this, and An Yanyi did not follow him.

After more than a month, Anping City has begun to take shape after working day and night. All water and electricity have been connected for a long time. There is an old man at home, so there is no need for him to keep an eye on it. An Yanyi took his computer bag and went to a nearby activity center to surf the Internet.

This time he was not playing games. An Yan wanted to go to an internal website and planned to avoid looking at the satellite map.

After arriving at the place, An Yanyi found a corner and sat, trying not to let others see him. As soon as he opened the webpage, he quickly typed in the account number he wanted to enter, and then a dynamic map of China came into view.

Red represents the places that are flooded by sea water, while green represents the opposite. So far, it is clear at a glance which places are flooded and which places are intact.

Now, less than half a month has passed since the country promulgated the migration policy. The sea level originally rose by more than one meter, but now it has almost reached two meters. More and more places in Guangzhou and Haishi have been flooded, reaching a point that cannot be ignored.

These two provinces and cities are both important economic centers. No, it should be said that there are no poor provinces along the southeast coast. Haishi is the economic center of China. There is a huge number of people and factories that need to be relocated. It is no wonder that the country sees that the situation is not right and no longer sits there. If this situation continues, if we don't take action, most places in Haishi may be submerged. The losses will be huge and the country cannot afford it.

The altitude of Huajing City is higher than that of Haishi. Even as the capital, Huajing City has to make way for the relocation of Haishi. The country spends more energy on economically developed coastal areas like Haishi. Airplanes, trains, and road transportation Under the Third Management Bureau, just like this, they were still afraid that it would be too late. In the end, they even used large-tonnage ships because they were afraid that the sea water would rise faster than expected. If they were placed on ships, they would at least be able to preserve supplies.

An Yanyi made a rough estimate. In less than a month and a half, the sea water has risen by nearly two meters, and the rate of increase is getting faster and faster. I am afraid that it will rise to more than ten meters in another month and a half. This is based on the normal rising rate. Maybe the situation will be worse, and it is not impossible for the sea level to rise to more than 20 to 30 meters.

An Yan sighed. Now he could no longer use common sense to infer. Only God knows how things will develop in the future.

☆ 15. Chapter 15

Chapter 15

After finishing the business, An Yanyi clicked on a game and couldn't connect to the server. He tried another one and the same thing happened. He clicked through all the games installed in the laptop, and only Mao Liangliang could only open it. , it is estimated that these game operators are not in the coastal area, otherwise they are busy relocating, where would they have time to care about whether the games can operate normally?

An Yanyi was not surprised at all by this. It would be nice to have a few games to play at this time, so he couldn't be picky.

His mind was not focused on this at the moment. After confirming his thoughts, An Yan returned his gaze to the previous satellite map. His two fire crystal fruits are still placed in the spring of Yunshan Villa. If the fire attribute energy is washed away by the sea water, wouldn't it be greatly reduced?

But I can't care about that now. The Fire Crystal Fruit can only absorb energy once more. Once it is recovered, it has to find another suitable place. If it can't be found, it can only be placed casually. At any rate, it can absorb some energy, but the energy It's just not as abundant as a spring, but it's better than nothing.

An Yanyi could see the true face of the fire crystal fruit through the control core. He watched one of the fire crystal fruits go from completely transparent to orange-red, gradually turned translucent after absorbing energy, and finally settled on being opaque. He knew It's impossible not to collect it. The Fire Crystal Fruit has stopped absorbing energy at this time.

An Yanyi didn't move for a long time. What to do after taking it back? He hadn't tried it before. Far away from the spring, the energy-absorbing speed of the Fire Crystal Fruit was less than one-tenth. How big a difference was this? If possible, An Yan would not want to do this at all.

Since the fire crystal fruit can be controlled through the control core, can it be directly absorbed from a long distance?

As soon as this idea appeared, he couldn't stop it. Anyan immediately tried again. Anyway, there was no loss for him. If he succeeded, everyone would be happy. If he failed, he would just follow the same pace as before.

There were many people in the activity center. As soon as An Yan was still sane, he immediately packed up his things and returned to the tent. Then he took a few deep breaths, calmed down, collected his mind, completely immersed his consciousness into the control core, and gave the order not to collect the fire crystal fruit, but to directly absorb the energy. .

An Yanyi originally thought that this was not a simple matter, but he never expected that the control core would be so obedient. It would do whatever he said. Not long after, the energy of the mobile home increased a lot, and the fire crystal fruit that had the light energy extracted returned to the way it looked when it first fell off the World Tree.

Could it be that his previous communication posture was wrong? Seeing how easy it was, An Yanyi couldn't help but be suspicious. This is not the first time he has tried this, but he has never succeeded. This time he is just a dead horse and a living horse doctor. Could it be that the problem lies in the energy value? It must be saturated and the energy absorbed by the fire crystal fruit can be extracted from a long distance by moving the home. ?

It was very possible that An Yan stopped thinking deeply and focused on the small bud at the control core. He studied it for several months, but he didn't understand the function of this little bud at all.

An Yanyi firmly believed that Mobile Home would not create such a thing for no reason. Xiaoya must have its own purpose, and it is likely to be quite useful. Can it be simple to control what grows on the core?

An Yan thought that the mobile home would not be used for the time being, so he tried to inject energy into the small bud in the control core.

The small buds almost swelled at the wind. As the energy continued to flow in, they slowly grew from a small bud to a small leaf, and then developed from a normal green leaf to an obviously unusual, crystal clear gem, and a fire crystal. The fruit has the same purpose, but the color is obviously different. This leaf is colorless.

Just when An Yan thought he could see the complete body, the change stopped abruptly. No matter how much energy he injected, it was useless. The leaves were saturated and no longer absorbed any energy, and no second small bud grew.

An Yan frowned. This shouldn't be the case. There must be something else he hadn't thought of. He often encountered similar situations when playing games. There must be prerequisites that were not met.

An Yan kept staring at the control core, and his eyes were finally attracted to the main body of the control core, which was the seed.

Since leaves can undergo such drastic changes after absorbing energy, there is no reason why seeds cannot.

Just do it as soon as you think of it, Anyan immediately poured all the energy except emergency energy into the seed.

Obviously, An Yanyi's guess was correct. The seed was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like the transformation of the only leaf on its body. Originally, the appearance of the seed could still be seen. After An Yanyi exhausted all the remaining energy available for the mobile home, it had transformed. It is translucent. I believe that with some energy, it will look like a leaf.

An Yanyi was a little regretful. He didn't have enough energy. He couldn't continue trying this time. He could only wait until the next fire crystal fruit was saturated with energy before taking action.

Zhou Junting's connections were much better than An Yanyi's. He stepped in and quickly got the matter done. Two construction teams started work at the same time. The larger team was responsible for the main part of the seven-story building, and the smaller team was responsible for the wings on both sides.

The entire Anjia layout is similar to the Anjia old house, except that it lacks a backyard. The land area of ​​the house is just over 300 square meters. Don't think that this area is small. Maybe it is not a big deal in Huajing City, but it is a big deal in Anping City.

Of course, it was not just Anjia's energy that was at work in acquiring such a large area, An Yanyi and Zhou Junting also contributed a lot.

Not everyone is as straightforward as the two of them. Businessmen value profits. Most people bargain with the country when supplies are requisitioned by the country. The more they can get, the better.

The country is not stupid. There are many benefits for businesses to leave, so they naturally have to find other places to make up for it. The size of the living area is one of the manifestations.

The construction site was noisy and unfit for human life, so An Yanyi and Zhou Junting paid a high price to move everyone who came with them into a guest house. Of course, when people on duty go out, they bring a lot of supplies. If someone steals them, there will be no place to cry.

Money is worthless now, accommodation fees are three or four times what they were before, and the services I receive are far less good than before.

The rooms in the hostel are simple and simple, and the three meals provided are a combination of coarse and fine grains. There is no meat. If you want to eat meat, you have to spend money to buy it.

An Yan was thinking about taking out the meat products he brought, but An Jianmin and Zhou Junting jointly stopped him. Money will only become less and less useful in the future, so spend it first and save the materials for later use.

An Jianmin has many sources of information and knows that the country will have new policies in the near future.

As for Zhou Junting, it was the businessman's keen sense of smell that came into play. Since the state controls materials, it means that materials are more important than other things. Returning to the planned economy, money may not be useful in many places. While you can still spend it in some places, you can use as much as you can. If the guest house didn't allow takeout, he would have bought a bunch of things to keep at home.

An Yan came back to his senses as soon as he thought about it for a moment, and suddenly his whole mood was bad. He just didn't think about it that much before. He was used to not paying attention to things. Suddenly, his mind didn't change. Now that he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.

This means that even if everything develops smoothly in the future, it will never be the same as before. The past era when you can buy the things you want as long as you have money is gone forever. Just imagining it, he feels that the future life will be very boring.

An Yan felt that this was not possible. In fact, if he were alone, he would rather spend his days guarding the mountains like the small group of people who stayed behind. He would not farm the whole boat, but he could harvest Bozhong Headquarters and go to the sea. Catch some fish, why worry about being uncomfortable during this small day?

It's a pity that he can only think about it. It is impossible for him to leave his family and take some time alone.

An Yanyi became more determined in his mind. The mobile home must be developed as soon as possible. Otherwise, if there is such an excellent shelter but cannot be used, it is better not to waste time on it.

After returning to the room, An Yan immediately checked how long it would take for the other fire crystal fruit to be saturated with energy. He made a rough estimate. Once he had an idea, he quietly waited for that day to arrive.

He was not made to wait long. In less than a week, the other fire crystal fruit was fully charged. An Yan was so happy that he immediately injected all the energy absorbed by the mobile home from the fire crystal fruit into the seed.

The seeds change again and don't stop until they are exactly the same as the leaves next to them. This is not over yet, and then the only leaf begins to metamorphose for the second time.

Although the leaves were as beautiful as works of art before, they could not emit light. Now, the whole body was filled with bright light, and An Yan almost got lost in it.

He calmed down and carefully reached out his conscious tentacles to touch the leaves. As expected, information related to the leaves instantly appeared in An Yanyi's mind.

It turns out that this leaf is a space door that can locate the inedible fruits from the mobile home and the World Tree. Of course, the number is limited. It can only connect the area near where nine fruits are at most. If more than one, it can only cancel part of it.

It's a pity that apart from moving his home, he can only go back and forth to the place where the World Tree's fruits are located. Even so, An Yanyi is still overjoyed. This is really what worries come from. In this way, he can do more things .

An Yan was so excited that he hugged Zhou Junting directly. Not satisfied with this, he simply hugged Zhou Junting and spun him around a few times. His hearty and wanton laughter could not even close the door, reaching the ears of everyone nearby.

An Jianmin laughed and cursed: "What good thing happened to this kid, so he is so happy?" He originally planned to find out, but when he thought that Zhou Junting was still in the room, he was afraid of seeing something inappropriate, so he had to give up the idea. It's better to let them make trouble when they are young. When he gets old, he won't get involved.

Zhou Junting was suddenly picked up and spun around. He didn't react for a moment and was a little confused. He didn't say anything to stop him. He just reflexively wrapped his arms around An Yan's neck.

This was the first time he saw An Yanyi like this.

An Yanyi usually has a calm mind and is very measured even when he laughs. It is rare that he loses his composure like this. Zhou Junting's eyes are full of curiosity.

"A good thing?"

"A shocking and happy event!" As soon as An Yan put the person on the bed, he followed him and explained to him in a low voice.

"Really?" Zhou Junting's eyes sparkled. He knows his body well and cannot bear hardships. Once the environment becomes bad, he is likely to become a burden to An Yan. With his temperament, it was naturally impossible for him to leave silently, but if there were no knots, it would be impossible. Now the mobile home has an additional space door that can return to the old home anytime and anywhere. Even the fruits produced by the World Tree can become positioning nodes. This is undoubtedly equivalent to an additional means of saving life.

"Yes. When Anyuan is completed, I will try this function." An Yanyi's excitement was still gone at this time, his whole body was in high spirits, and his eyebrows were filled with joy.

"Don't forget that I'm there."

"Okay, okay, I'll take you with me." An Yan's eyebrows were so full that he almost pressed his body against Zhou Junting without noticing, "Let's go to An's old house first, and then I'll go to your house alone. Villa."

Zhou Junting's body was very sensitive, and he could not resist An Yanyi's unconscious teasing. His body gradually began to react, and a blush slowly appeared on his face.

An Yan didn't care about this at all, thinking that Zhou Junting was as excited as him. He also felt a wave of heat in his body, and moved his body to the side out of good intentions.

The weather is really good here. It's still over 20 degrees at noon. If you exercise a little more, you'll be sweating all over.

Zhou Junting was a little disappointed, but it was quickly replaced by happiness. The days ahead were long and he was standing by An Yanyi's side. Was he still worried that An Yan would run away soon? It's just a matter of time, one day the two of them will become one.

Anyuan is under construction in full swing, but the evacuation of coastal areas has encountered trouble. The government's prediction was wrong. With all the means used, the evacuation speed was not faster than the rising speed of the sea water. The people could only be relocated first, and some cumbersome materials that could not be used temporarily were Give up and see if you can find a way to salvage it later.

After this, the atmosphere in the coastal areas suddenly became tense. The country tried its best to transport people and food to the inland, while everything else took a back seat.

Some low-lying areas in Huajing City were also invaded by sea water. After nearly a month of relocation, Huajing City was much empty. Seeing that the train station was about to be submerged, the remaining people began to feel anxious until the government came to appease them. Even if the train station was flooded, They will also be sent to nearby stations so that people can feel at ease.

Zhou Junting's villa is halfway up Yunshan Mountain, so there is no need to worry about this. The two of them still have time to prepare.

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed, and Anyuan was finally completed. An Yanyi and Zhou Junting claimed the seventh floor of the main building. They had a way to avoid danger, and it was good for everyone that the top floor belonged to them.

That night, the two waited until it was dead of night, closed the doors and windows, and drew the thick blackout curtains. An Yan gave instructions to the control center.

In an instant, a leaf-shaped luminous space door appeared in the room. The brilliance kept flowing like water waves. It was extremely dazzling. It should only be used when you are ready. If you put it in the wild, it might attract the attention of other creatures.

An Yan swallowed his saliva, knowing that it was completely different from experiencing it in person. This is too fantasy, traveling through space, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it mean that there is no chance to call for help?

Zhou Junting felt there was no movement around him, so he looked back and saw that An Yan was definitely standing with no intention of moving forward. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood his worries: "Yan Yi, let's go, it's enough just to see the mobile home appear." It's strange, now that even the space gate has come out, it's impossible for the earth to be peaceful. Do you want to live a humble life like a rat in the gutter, or do you want to take a chance in exchange for a promising future?"

An Yanyi: "..." He My boyfriend is really not afraid of life and death, how can he be compared? An Yan simply gave up and pulled Zhou Junting into his arms. He closed his eyes and stepped into the space door. When he opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in the wooden house of the An family's old house.

An Yan didn't have time to worry about anything else and let Zhou Junting do whatever he wanted, as long as he remembered to avoid people and not be discovered by nearby neighbors. He focused all his attention on the control core and found that the space door from which he came had disappeared, and he was relieved.

As soon as An Yan picked off a new mature fire crystal fruit, after such a long time, he has discovered that the minimum maturity period of the fire crystal fruit is one month. If the time is less than that, it will be useless no matter how much energy is allocated to the fire crystal fruit. I'm afraid there are similar restrictions on other things carried by the mobile home itself.

For the control core to be able to complete the transformation so quickly, this deadline must have passed. Due to insufficient information, the specific time it takes to grow has become a mystery. In short, it will not exceed half a year.

"Junting, you can't go to other places. Just wait here. I'll come back as soon as I go." An Yan guessed based on the energy consumption of the space just now that there was still enough energy left to return to An Yuan, so he opened the space door again.

"Come back soon." The luster in Zhou Junting's eyes dimmed a bit, but he knew it was okay and didn't say anything to stop him.

"Okay, two hours at most." An Yan pretended a little, turned around and walked into the space door with the changed fire crystal fruit.

Zhou Junting just watched An Yanyi's figure disappear in front of him, and stood there for a while before taking action. He also had his own things to do. He had to check whether the supplies in An's old house were intact and whether anyone had broken into the empty door.

This is Zhou Junting's overthinking. Mobile Home has long been given instructions by An Yan. In addition to the normal entry from the main entrance, any intrusion by outsiders will be regarded as an invasion by Mobile Home. Mobile Home cannot actively attack, but passive counterattacks are enough. These people suffered.

An Yanyi specifically chose the function of all-out counterattack. As much destructive power as outsiders exerted on the An family's old home, the mobile home would be returned.

This has also resulted in the entire Anjia old house being eerily quiet. Not to mention the backyard, even the front yard cannot hear any birdsong. Even the bugs and other small creatures that originally existed in the Anjia old house have disappeared. Part of the energy later completely disappeared in Anjia's old house.

Xiayuan Village is relatively late in the relocation batch. Except for a few villagers who have somewhere to seek refuge, most of them are still staying at home and waiting for government arrangements.

Zhou Junting saw a few lights on here and there, so he moved more and more lightly. He didn't even turn on the flashlight mode on his phone, and entered the An family's old house in the dark.

The neighbor was okay and had gone to bed long ago. Zhou Junting was worried about the remaining satellites in the sky. If they were photographed, they would not even be able to explain that they had ten mouths.

An Yanyi chose to appear in the basement of Yunshan Villa, went upstairs and saw the moonlight, and saw that the surroundings were lonely, without even a single light. Then he quietly left the villa and walked towards the nearest unowned spring that he had been optimistic about before.

An Yan made some noise with stones and waited for a while, but no one came out. Fan Qiang went in and made sure that there was nothing inside except bulky household items that he couldn't take away. Then he walked towards the spring with confidence.

Placing the fire crystal fruit is very simple, but the trouble is getting your clothes all wet for this. In today's weather, it's a bit cool at night, only a dozen degrees. Thanks to An Yan's good health, he didn't get sick.

But we have to find a way to solve this problem in the future. We can't make it happen like this every time. It's fine in hot weather, but it's a pain in cold weather.

After finishing the business, An Yanyi did not return immediately. He walked around the foot of the mountain and vaguely saw a lot of lights. It seemed that the relocation of Huajing City had not been completed yet. The terrain of Yunshan is slightly higher, so it is not difficult to understand why it falls behind. He walked around the villa area on the mountain again and found that several villas were occupied.

An Yan was not surprised. Yunshan Mountain is hundreds of meters high. No matter how high the sea water rises, it is estimated that it will not reach the top. There must be people who don't want to move. Those who can afford to buy a villa naturally have their own way out. It is normal to find an escape route early, and it is inevitable that it will be occupied by those who stay behind.

There are only a few villas with owners now, so Huajing City is still in good order. Once the government withdraws, this place will become a popular place. I don't know what the situation will be like. It seems that you should be careful when coming here in the future.

After getting an overview of the situation, An Yan immediately returned to the basement of Zhou Junting's villa, opened the space door and returned to the log cabin of An's old house.

☆ 16. Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Seeing that Zhou Junting was not there, An Yanyi didn't stay in the wooden house any longer and went down the tree to look for someone.

Although he tried his best to cover it up, if he looked closely, he could still see a little light shining through, and An Yan found his target in no time. Before coming, he had opened all the permissions that the mobile home could open. Zhou Junting's arbitrary activities would not be blocked by the mobile home, and An Yanyi was relieved.

"Why are you here?" An Yan said curiously as soon as he walked into the utility room.

"The terrain of Xiayuan Village is relatively high, and the sea water will not be able to flood it for a while. I will see if there are enough solar power generation accessories. If not, I will transfer some from Anping City and prepare more other power generation equipment. Maybe it will be available soon. It will come in handy."

"That's okay." An Yanyi agreed, and after speaking, his eyes fixed on Zhou Junting.

In addition to getting tired more easily than ordinary people, this person looks just like ordinary people. He even looks stronger than ordinary people. The only thing that needs special attention is that Zhou Junting is afraid of cold, not psychologically, but physically. live. As soon as he catches a cold, anything may happen to him. This must be considered carefully, and the heating facilities must be prepared with greater efforts. Although the temperature in the coldest month of winter is still ten or twenty degrees, precautions must be taken.

An Yan immediately added: "Let's make a bed when we get back and prepare some more coal."

Zhou Junting had no objection. It was better to be prepared than to improvise.

After the two agreed, they began to concentrate on checking the inventory of various supplies in Anjia's old house.

Neither An Yanyi nor Zhou Junting was short of money, so the supplies placed in the An family's old house were of the highest quality. Except for a few grains, all the food is vacuum-packed and can be stored for a long time. There is no need to worry about it spoiling at any time. In addition, An Yan has spared a little energy to store these supplies. As long as the An family's old house is not flooded, it will not be necessary. He worries.

What An Yan was worried about was that the mobile home would counterattack and attract the attention of the villagers. However, without this protective measure, he was also afraid that the house would be looted. It was the lesser of two evils, so he had no choice but to risk making headlines to save An's old house.

Now that the order is still there, there is no need to worry about this. No one who dares to break into the empty door dares to talk about this matter. It will be uncertain in the future. I really hope that the mobile home can be moved as soon as possible. Otherwise, what is the name of the mobile home?

After roughly checking all the supplies and confirming that they were correct, An Yanyi took Zhou Junting away from the An family's old house and returned to An Yuan.

At this time, it was almost three o'clock in the morning. An Yanyi was okay, he occasionally stayed up late.

Zhou Junting couldn't bear it anymore. He could hardly open his eyes. He leaned his head on An Yan's shoulder and almost fell asleep. While he still had some consciousness, he quickly washed up and went to bed.

An Yanyi looked at Zhou Junting's behavior in front of others with amusement. After spending several months together, he probably knew Zhou Junting better than anyone else.

Zhou Junting was particularly open-minded in front of An Yanyi, and some unknown temperaments were also exposed.

For example, if there are outsiders present, Zhou Junting will not let himself go no matter how sleepy he is. He will definitely cheer up and stay clear.

This is the current situation when the two of them are alone.

An Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with this, he was quite happy with it. If Zhou Junting treated him no differently than others, he would be worried.

After taking care of himself slowly, An Yan turned off the lights and climbed into bed.

Soon, Zhou Junting's slightly cold body leaned forward automatically, and gradually became infected with An Yan's body temperature like a small heater, until there was no longer any exchange of temperature.

A dreamless night.

The next day, both of them woke up late. Due to their biological clocks, they didn't wake up too late, only less than an hour later than usual.

An Yanyi could ignore his image and yawn even downstairs and no one would be surprised. Zhou Junting naturally couldn't do this. Under An Yanyi's supervision, he ate something and then made a cup of coffee to wake up.

Why is it so quiet? Going down to the second floor, An Yan's sleepy eyes suddenly became clear.

There are many people in Anyuan, so it should be very lively at this time, but it is quiet at the moment, which is very abnormal.

The two looked at each other and immediately asked someone to inquire. Only then did they know that most people in Anyuan ran to the temporary resettlement site for citizens. They said that they were attacked by a group of wild dogs and cats carrying fire on their convoys. They suffered heavy losses and several vehicles exploded. , there are many rear-end collisions. If the patrol police stationed along the road had not rushed to the rescue as quickly as possible, I don't know how the matter would have ended.

"Are there any photos or videos?"

"Those who were attacked may have some."

"Let's go and have a look too." An Yan stood up and asked Zhou Junting to follow him.

This is not good news. If this is not an exception, then they will have to pay special attention when traveling in the future.

After arriving at the place, both of them frowned subconsciously.

At this time, the square at the temporary resettlement site was already overcrowded, especially those who knew about the accident. They were so crowded that the two had no choice but to ask people nearby for information.

"Brother, please tell me what happened last night?" An Yan glanced around and quickly found a suitable target. He immediately took out a cigarette and handed it to him, turning on the talkative mode.

The man didn't smoke either, so it was obviously inappropriate at this time. He readily took the clip and put it on his ear, and began to say everything: "It's miserable, it's really miserable."

An Yanyi was very patient, even if the man didn't get to the point. interrupt.

Zhou Junting was not used to such crowded situations, so he leaned beside An Yanyi with a sullen face without saying a word, letting An Yanyi do what he wanted.

"What kind of cruel method?" An Yan asked and guided him calmly.

"Little brother, you also know that no one migrates on two feet. The highway is full of cars. Just forget about the fuel tank being set on fire and exploding. This kind of accident happens countless times every year. There are very few survivors. Just close your eyes. It's over. The most pain before death."

"There were many survivors of those vehicles that were attacked last night. That's where things went wrong."

An Yanyi showed a curious look in his eyes at the right time and set up a ladder for this stranger. Make him want to talk more.

"You really found the right person. When the attacked convoy arrived at Anping City, I happened to run into it. I was lucky enough to see the attacking wild cats and wild dogs. They were all red, and some of them were still breathing. There were even flames lingering in the air. The whole body looks like a flaming unicorn. It looks so magical."

After sighing with emotion, the man continued: "Those car exteriors were burnt and deformed in many places, and the people inside suffered burns ranging from serious to serious. I guess there is no chance, those who are not serious are called miserable. Just go to the hospital and you will know how painful the burn patients are." "

Can these cats and dogs still breath fire?" An Yan thought for a moment and thought of the key point. The problem, if it was just caused by oneself, would not have such serious consequences.

"Oh, little brother, you are really right. That is not the case. I heard that one spray can be sprayed several meters away. Although it is not to the point of melting iron and steel, it is not much worse. People are even more... If you touch the surface of the fire, it will be roasted until the meat is cooked."

"Doesn't it mean that you can't go out

casually from now on?" "This should be okay. How can anyone encounter such a magical animal? Many people are now suspicious of pets, and some I just abandoned my newly raised pet, for fear of being bitten by the pet one day."

After An Yan thanked the person, he and Zhou Junting left this smelly place together.

Neither of them spoke, and they remained silent all the way.

The temperature is abnormally high, the appearance of fire-breathing cats and dogs, and the mobile home in An Yan's hands...all these phenomena indicate that the world is becoming increasingly weird and dangerous.

In this case, just relying on the number of people may not be safe.

Sure enough, after the first case, there will be a second case. Within a week, people in another place were attacked by flaming creatures. This time it was not wild cats and dogs, but pheasants. It was not operating at full capacity. On the highway, the damage was not too big and there were no casualties. However, a firewood shed was set on fire and several people were injured. This attracted great attention from the local area and was reported to Anping City.

After that, such things happened all over the country, and they were no longer limited to wild animals. Similar situations occurred in domestic livestock one after another. It just went through a transformation process. If you pay careful attention, you can eliminate hidden dangers in advance.

Naturally, people are not immune. Most people who are on fire are still conscious, but their moods fluctuate greatly and they are more easily irritated than before. The flames attached to the body are difficult to control. If you are not careful, you can burn things. .

After these people were exposed, they were quickly taken away by government personnel. They did not lose contact with their families, but they were trapped in one place with no freedom.

After confirming that their loved ones were safe, the family members were relatively calm and did not make a fuss.

The An family is fairly well-informed, and the conclusion is that it's difficult to say for individual cases, but the overall situation is that the closer to the equator, the higher the probability of this kind of thing happening. This is consistent, who is so angry? The hotter the place, the more likely such mutations are to occur.

When everyone thought that only animals were like this, a group of soldiers who went into the deep mountains and old forests to perform a mission brought back news. They saw a forest with red flames rising. Because it didn't look right, they didn't dare to get close. They only tried it with branches and other objects. I tried it, but I didn't expect that the branch would catch fire as soon as I got close to it, and it would burn into a pile of ashes in a short time.

Immediately afterwards, similar incidents occurred in the ocean, perhaps surrounded by seawater. The situation in the ocean was much better than on land. There were not many fire-bearing creatures, and their power was also small. They did not pose much danger to ships at sea, but they still made people wary. , if the ship is melted in several places, wouldn't this cost lives?

People in all countries are panicking. Rising sea levels and large-scale migration are enough to make people anxious. Now that such a threat appears around us, can we not be frightened?

Zhou Junting originally wanted to re-open the Taiyi Group, but seeing this situation, he immediately gave up the idea. After discussing with other executives, the partnership was peacefully disbanded, and the company's materials were distributed according to each person's shares.

Zhou Junting took the big one, and all the small items were neatly stacked in the west wing. As for the large machines, they were temporarily piled in the warehouse on the outskirts of the city, and they were transported here after hard work. There was no reason to give up now, maybe they would be used later.

An Jianmin's bedroom on the first floor of Anyuan.

"Yan Yi, we have installed a heater, is it necessary to build a fire pit? Why not buy so much coal? If others throw away red-hot wood casually, wouldn't An Yuan be ruined?" "Grandpa,

this is called being prepared." An Yanyi didn't care. An Jianmin protested and insisted on letting the master craftsmen build the fire kang. As for coal, where did Anjia come from so many enemies? Send someone to patrol and keep vigil every day, so you don't have to worry about people deliberately causing trouble. If you just pay attention to open fires on weekdays, it should be fine. If it was really so dangerous, wouldn't the coal mining company have closed down long ago?

"Okay, okay, it's up to you. Anyway, I'm getting older and you won't be obedient anymore." Although An Jianmin said this, there was no look of complaint on his face. If he was really determined to object, could An Yanyi still force him to do it?

"Grandpa, why don't your parents come back?" An Yan looked puzzled. Huajing City is now almost completely flooded by sea water, and the last batch of government officials have evacuated. Who would have thought that my parents haven't arrived in Anping City yet. He is not worried about something happening to them. If there is a problem, the news will definitely be reported. "Also, uncle and the others, are they going to live alone or gather here." "

Your dad and the others will be transferred to other places to help, but they will be here soon." , I should be able to come to Anping City before the year." After saying this, An Jianmin paused, "As for your uncle and the others, let them go, if you don't come, I will be in peace."

But An Jianmin knew this . Impossible. It's okay to say that the situation is good now, but it will be strange if they don't come to seek refuge with his old father one day when their life becomes difficult.

"Yan Yi, from now on when your uncle and his friends come over, you and Jun Ting can keep your and Jun Ting's things for yourself. If you want to give it to them, just give it to them. If you don't want to give it to them, forget it. We don't tolerate them." An Jianmin said angrily.

"We'll talk about it then." An Yanyi mumbled the matter. If it really got to such a bad point, there was no way he could just watch his loved ones starve to death. But as An Jianmin said, if you want to ask for anything from him, you'd better save your money. He just hoped that things wouldn't develop like this. After all, no one would expect bad things for their loved ones.

An Yan thought of his grandma again, who was still living at his second uncle's house. After all these years, she was unhappy when she got old. He couldn't understand. However, the elders have to deal with their own affairs. As a junior, it is better not to get involved, so as not to help more and more troubles.

Seeing another fire crystal fruit ripening, An Yan decided to go out of the city to try it.

As he expected, since the government withdrew from Huajing City, the Yunshan villa area has become a gathering place for left-behind people. Naturally, Zhou Junting's villa has not escaped the clutches of these people. An Yanyi observed through the control core that there was bright light coming out at night. If he opened the space door now, there would be a risk of exposure. For safety reasons, he had better find another place to collect energy.

Nowadays, the number of fire-bearing creatures is gradually increasing. An Yanyi is not afraid of finding a suitable place. At most, it is not as energetic as the springs in Yunshan Villa.

"You want to go out?" Although Taiyi Group under Zhou Junting's name has completely closed down, he still has a group of people to support, and he has to find something to do for them. Unlike An Yanyi, who is not as free as An Yanyi. Unexpectedly, when he returned to his room, he saw An Yanyi, who was particularly well-dressed.

"Well, I'm going to go for a walk outside the city to see if I can find a suitable place to put that thing."

An Yan made a gesture, and Zhou Junting immediately understood: "I won't go. I'll call Chen Hua and the others."

" Okay." An Yan readily agreed, saving Zhou Junting from having to worry about him at home. Before going out, he couldn't help but ask, "How did you find a bodyguard? There are no people in these four homes. It won't take much trouble for all the family members to take over. "

Bodyguard, of course, protecting me is the most important thing. If I have a lot of family members and I can be easily threatened by others, should I hire a bodyguard or a spy?"

Zhou Junting answered matter-of-factly, leaving An Yanyi speechless. , he shrugged and pushed out the door, feeling a little distressed in his heart.

When Zhou Junting was kidnapped, An Yanyi seemed to have heard that it was Zhou Junting's cronies who betrayed him due to an unexpected incident at home. Naturally, he was rescued by An Yanyi, which made the trajectory of the two develop in an unexpected direction.

As soon as An Yan arrived on the first floor, Dong Peng and four other people were driving a modified off-road vehicle waiting for him in the yard. They must have received instructions from Zhou Junting.

An Yan said nothing, opened the door and got into the car, pointed in the direction, and the car drove out from the side door.

An Yanyi was not wandering around aimlessly. The places he picked were all haunted by fire creatures. Of course, those places have been cleaned up now, otherwise he would not have chosen these places. He is not so arrogant that five people without guns can deal with a lot of fire-breathing mutant animals.

The first place An Yan chose was the closest to Anping City, and it took nearly an hour to drive there.

"Keep driving forward and wander around here." When An Yan saw that the control core did not respond, he could only resort to the stupidest method.

Dong Peng and the four of them looked at each other, wondering what kind of trouble An Yanyi was making today. This place is in the wilderness. Did he really come here just to see the scenery?

Although there were doubts in their hearts, the few people did not raise any objections. They all followed An Yanyi's words. As long as they returned to An Yuan before the gas tank ran out of gas, they had no room to comment on anything else.

The cross-country winding and circling forward, the four of them thought it would continue like this until the return trip, but they never expected that they would receive new instructions a quarter of an hour later.

"Turn around and go this way." Seeing that the control core finally responded, An Yan became more energetic and began to point his way.

Just like that, I kept checking the direction and drove cross-country from the road to the fields, and didn't stop until there was no way to go.

"You guys wait for me here. I'll be back as soon as I go." An Yan waved his hand back and walked forward.

Dong Peng and the other four didn't dare to let go. If something went wrong with An Yanyi, how would they explain it to the An family and Zhou Junting? Immediately ignoring An Yanyi's instructions, two people fell behind.

When An Yan heard the noise, he didn't rush them back. He just told them not to follow too closely. He didn't like having people watching him every step of the way.

Regarding this request, Chen Hua and Zhang Zhenan, who followed, both accepted it. As long as An Yan did not go out of the range where they could rescue him at any time, they would not care.

The situation this time is different from the Yunshan Spring Eye Group. The area where the Fire Crystal Fruit can be placed is very wide, at least as big as two football fields.

After several experiments, An Yan determined that the energy absorption rate was higher when exposed to the air than buried in the ground, so he stepped on the disguised fire crystal fruit into the ground, and stopped when it was barely above the top.

Although this is a wilderness, you still have to be careful, at least for now. As for the future, that will naturally be discussed later. If the Fire Crystal Fruit is taken away, An Yan will just take it back when no one is paying attention. But there is no need to worry about getting angry.

After finishing the business, An Yanyi walked around the neighborhood. He had to dress decently, otherwise it would be too easy to show off.

☆ 17. Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Most people can't stand talking about it. As soon as An Yan entered the side door of Anyuan, he heard voices from the direction of the hall, which were very familiar. Le-Wen listened carefully and found that relatives had come to the house, but the atmosphere seemed not quite right.

As soon as An Yan came in, the conversation stopped abruptly.

It was An Jianmin who said hello: "Yan Yi, come here, your sister-in-law and the others are going to stay here for a while."

"Sister-in-law, uncle..." An Yanyi smiled and said hello to everyone in the living room, and the original solemn atmosphere was broken. . After chatting for a while, he was about to go upstairs when his sister-in-law stopped him.

"Yan Yi, we have just arrived and are not familiar with this place. Please take your cousin and the others out for a walk."

An Yanyi would not refuse such a trivial matter. He immediately stopped and turned around, taking his cousin Wang Qi and his cousin Wang Jing goes out.

Seeing that his cousins ​​were not in a good mood, An Yan took them to the busiest street nearby.

Wang Jing was no longer depressed and was soon replaced by a smile, and Wang Qian's expression softened somewhat.

After walking around in a circle, seeing that it was almost time for dinner, An Yan led people back to An Yuan. At this time, his hands were full of things.

This meal was spent in a fuss. With a three-year-old child at home, eating was no different than fighting.

An Yan was fine, but Zhou Junting didn't move his chopsticks at all.

Nowadays, children are the treasures of the family and are extremely pampered. A three-year-old kid makes a big fuss at the table and makes a mess. He can't even teach him a lesson. Wang Qian looks apologetic again. What can they say?

An Yan had to ask Jiang Tao to go downstairs to get a bowl of noodles and start a small stove for Zhou Junting alone.

Zhou Junting took a small bowl and divided out a small amount: "You haven't finished eating yet, please eat some more."

An Yan took it with a smile and ate it up in a few licks with a look of satisfaction on his face. It feels really good to be cared for by someone, especially the care given to him alone. It is very different. Even if it is just a small bowl of simple noodles with vegetables, eggs and shredded pork, it warms my heart.

Zhou Junting was also in a good mood. The uneasiness he felt before gradually dissipated and he was filled with joy.

Guest room on the fifth floor.

"Mom, grandpa's house is so nice. Let's stay here and don't go home." Wang Jing's face was full of joy.

"It's okay to stay for a while, but not for a long time. After all, this is not our home." An Yu had a look of embarrassment on her face, but her tone was not so firm. It was obvious that she had no idea about this proposal.

"It depends." Wang Yuanqing sighed, thinking about the house at home, which was less than fifty square meters, and looking at a yard as big as Anyuan and three buildings. It was really incomparable. Comparing one person to another was simply infuriating. Supposedly, his family is actually not that bad, but it depends on who they are compared with. If they are put together with the Yue family, they will be completely blind compared to them.

Wang Jing suddenly fell down, took the snacks An Yanyi bought for them, and took a bite.

Wang Qian just put her son to bed and came out, and said with some distress: "Jingjing, save some food, money is not used now."

Wang Jing ate even more happily, completely ignoring Wang Qian's reminder, and deliberately did the opposite.

Wang Qi didn't want to say anything else. She knew that going back to her parents' home had caused a lot of trouble for the family. It was understandable that the younger sister would be dissatisfied with her. As the eldest sister, she didn't have to argue with her over such a trivial matter.

"You eat too, don't be so frugal." Anyu took a bag of potato chips and handed them to her eldest daughter.

Wang Qian took it silently, but felt uncomfortable in her heart. In a family like theirs, who would have cared about this in the past? Now I have to make a calculation. It's not that you have to go hungry. It's okay to have three meals a day. It's just that you have to cut off extra expenses again and again. Not to mention non-necessities like snacks, but also other indispensable daily necessities, I also choose practical ones. Luxury, their family is obviously not up to par.

"Eat them all." Wang Yuanqing rubbed his face, put away the sadness between his brows, and handed a bag of golden dates to An Yu. "This is a filial piety from Yi'er. Eat as much as you can."

Anyu bit a sweet nugget in her mouth . of red dates, but the pain in my heart could not be relieved. Living standards have dropped sharply now, what can we do in the future?

"It's okay for you guys to stay here longer. I'll go back in two days." Wang Yuanqing showed reluctance, and finally made up his mind, "It's hard to find a job at this time. If I ask for leave, I can go back." I'm afraid someone else will take my position."

"Okay, I'll go back with you the day after tomorrow, and let Qianqian and the others stay here for a while." Thinking of this, An Yu hurriedly followed. Their current life is more or less better than before. If both of their jobs were ruined, then their lives would be gloomy. They can't always ask their parents to support them. When will it end? Don't forget, there are still parents-in-law to support at home, there is no reason for her mother's family to support her parents-in-law together.

Back in the room, Wang Yuanqing asked his doubts: "An Yu, how did my father-in-law get such a large piece of land?"

Before arriving at An Yuan, he had seen many villas, most of which were compact townhouses. A hundred square meters is not bad, but there are no real senior central officials serving in the An family, which is a bit unjustifiable.

"It's not just the An family, An Yuan also includes Zhou Junting's share." An Yu explained, "Look, the two of us work in government agencies and arrived at the rear early. Except for Yan Yi, you can see half of the eldest brother and sister-in-law's family. ?"

"They..."

"Well, as you think, they are all presiding over government affairs at the front. I'm afraid they won't go home until the sea water rises." Although An Yu was envious, he was not jealous. "That's all for brother and the others. In exchange for lives and supplies, if someone talks about this in the future, you can't just ignore it."

"Do you even need to say that?" Wang Yuanqing was not so confused. It was the matter of his eldest daughter that really gave him a headache. , "What are you going to do about Sissi?"

"I think she is determined not to live with her son-in-law. It doesn't matter if the in-laws don't do it." An Yugang's smile disappeared immediately.

"What about Jiang Jiang?" Wang Yuanqing is more worried about this. Whether he can get custody of his grandson is still unknown. Even if the child belongs to his daughter, it will be a trouble. To be honest, he still loves his daughter more than his grandson. Just look at his eldest daughter. It means that as a father, he can't do anything else except support.

"In today's world, if we really have to break up, the other party may not be willing to have children, so we should be prepared to raise one more child." An Yu sees this more clearly than Wang Yuanqing. In the past, child custody rights were not easy to fight. , but this is not necessarily the case now. Maybe once the couple divorces, no one will take care of the children.

Speaking of this, An Yu thought of another annoying thing, and her brows almost knitted together, "Sissi came back with the child, and suddenly there were two more mouths in the house. The standard of living was not as good as before, and she had to take care of two more people." Personally, it is inevitable for Jingjing to have resentment in her heart. You and she are more likely to talk to each other. Please talk to her about this matter to avoid conflicts between the two sisters."

Wang Yuanqing immediately felt a big headache. The root cause of this problem was that there were too many monks and too few people. He could only Guide her from the side and let Jingjing think about it on her own, otherwise she might cause trouble in the future. Let a child who has grown up in a honeypot learn to be tolerant and considerate of others. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Not to mention the children, even they themselves may not be able to do it.

I really hope that the social order will be stabilized as soon as possible and all kinds of unexpected disasters will not happen again. In that way, life will be smooth and the problems can be solved from the root.

The next day, no matter how noisy Jiang Jiang's child was, Wang Qian didn't let him sit on the table. She took her son to the yard to feed him during meal time.

There was harmony at the dinner table, with constant laughter and laughter. It was not like yesterday afternoon when everyone in the room was in a gloomy mood.

Zhou Junting had something to do in the morning, so An Yan stayed in the living room to keep him company. By the way, he took the two leopard tortoises Spot and Scabbers to the yard for a walk.

But something went wrong this time. Ji Jiang focused on these two, and the child didn't know the importance. An Yan didn't pay attention to them one by one, and Banban was turned over on all fours.

No matter who keeps pets, Zhou Junting is always a vengeful person, and Banban has also contracted this habit. An Yan is afraid that if Banban opens his mouth and bites Ji Jiang, the matter will be difficult to handle, so he stops mid-sentence and steps forward. He rescued Banban from Ji Jiang's little devil's claws, and at the same time blocked Ji Jiang from disaster.

"Uncle, you guys chat, I'll go upstairs first." An Yan didn't want to fuss with a bigger kid, so he went back to the room with two leopard print tortoises in his arms.

After checking and confirming that Banban was not injured, An Yan felt relieved. After dinner last night, Zhou Junting was not happy. If Banban had another problem, he might not take action against the three-year-old Yizi, but An Yanyi couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't make Cousin Qian and the others unhappy.

Seeing An Yanyi and the two turtles disappearing in the blink of an eye mid-sentence, An Yu and others were stunned. It wasn't until Ji Jiang burst into tears that the frozen scene began to flow again.

Wang Qian hurried over to coax the child, but Ji Jiang was spoiled by his elders and had a very domineering temper. He was not even four years old, but he already knew how to fight for himself. He burst into tears when things didn't go his way. No matter how much Wang Qian coaxed him, he couldn't coax him. .

"Sissi, take the child out for a walk. Jingjing, go and accompany your sister." An Yu felt sorry for the child, but this was not a home, so he couldn't just follow him in everything. Look at the way An Yan was nervous about the two turtles just now. If she really wants to make any excessive demands, I'm afraid she won't be able to stay in her parents' house.

Wang Jing reluctantly followed Wang Qi out. An Jianmin looked on with a smile and said nothing. He just signaled to the guards to follow his granddaughter when they walked out of An Yuan. Although the security in Anping City was good, it was not as good as in the past. He was worried about two young girls with a child and no one following them.

After gathering her emotions, An Yu said: "Dad, Yan Yi has always been so precious to these two turtles? I didn't even see them last time when I came here. Isn't this turtle just raised?"

An Jianmin narrowed his eyes, his face The smile on his face became even bigger: "It's almost half a year old. It's a love token given by Zhou Junting. How can I not treasure it?"

"Pop!"

The lid of the cup hit the rim heavily.

When Wang Yuanqing heard such breaking news, he was so shocked that he almost overturned the tea cup. He had felt strange yesterday as to why the boy from the Zhou family appeared here, and only now did he realize that the two of them had such a relationship.

"Dad, are the rumors outside true?" An Yu tried her best to close her chin. She was criticized after giving birth to two daughters. Wouldn't this make Yan Yi even more...

"What's all the fuss about?" An Jianmin still looked like one. He looked calm and calm, "Yan Yi made a scene a year and a half ago. You must have heard about it. Isn't it too late to wonder now?" "

This, this..." An Yu and Wang Yuanqing looked at each other. , didn't even know how to answer An Jianmin's question.

The two of them didn't know much. Unless they were confused, their family members wouldn't make a big deal about it. They could hear only a few details, but that was because they were relatively close relatives. An Yu and Wang Yuanqing thought that the quarrel would be over after a while. Unexpectedly, An Yan won the family war and even the person he was talking to came directly to the house. Living in An Yuan was more justified than them. This was really the case. It's hard to describe in one word.

"I kindly remind you, don't mess with Zhou Junting. I'm not worried about you. I'm just worried that a few young people will fight against him and they won't be able to take advantage." An Jianmin looked cheerful.

His position is better. Even if Zhou Junting is really unhappy, for the sake of An Yan, Zhou Junting will not argue with him as an old man. He can do things without any scruples, as long as he does not challenge Zhou Junting's bottom line.

Other uncles and aunts do not have this preferential treatment. Anyone who provokes Zhou Junting will probably be kicked back by him immediately.

To live in Anyuan, everyone must remember this, so as not to be retaliated without even knowing what happened.

"Dad, he is a junior..." An Yu frowned.

An Jianmin did not express any further opinions on the matter. Some things can only be understood deeply after experiencing them. Nothing he said now would work. He's old and can't care much about the younger generation's affairs. It's okay to make a fuss once in a while.

An Jianmin sipped tea leisurely, took the initiative to change the subject, and chatted with his youngest daughter and son-in-law about their next plans. For a while, the atmosphere in the living room was very harmonious.

The next afternoon, Anyu and his wife left, leaving the three younger ones behind. They probably won't leave until after the Lantern Festival next year at the earliest.

As the New Year approaches, the main building of Anyuan becomes more and more lively. First, Wang Xiao, An Yan's grandmother, brought several children from the second uncle's family, then the children from the third uncle's family, and finally the adults from the second uncle and the third uncle's family gathered together. In the hall, only An Yan's parents, brothers and sisters, as the master, were nowhere to be seen.

As expected, the country's advantage is not so easy to take advantage of. Everyone else went home to celebrate the New Year, but An Yan's family was left alone. He didn't feel it before, but this feeling is especially obvious now. Fortunately, Zhou Junting is with him.

"Aren't you going back to celebrate the New Year?" An Yan stretched out his elbow and touched Zhou Junting.

"I won't come back." Zhou Junting didn't care about this at all. His grandfather died two years ago, and his grandmother left even earlier. There was no place for him to stay in the huge Zhou family. Going to his stepmother's house, isn't this asking for trouble? This time he offered the benefits to Anjia. They couldn't figure out why they blamed him in their hearts. It was strange that they could give him a good look. Both sides are disgusted with each other, and they can only live happily if they don't interfere with each other. When they get together, one of them will always be pissed to death.

Zhou Junting didn't want to talk more about this matter, and turned his attention to the mobile home: "The sea water is about to flood Xiayuan Village, how are you going to arrange the An family's old house?" "

I'll think of a way." An Yanyi was a little worried, and there was a satellite Now, it is inconvenient to do anything, otherwise there are many solutions.

"I rented a small courtyard in Yangcheng, a satellite city near Anping City. If it doesn't work, I'll move the supplies there first." "

Okay, if the water is so flooded that I can't think of a way, I'll do as you say." It is a suitable solution, and An Yanyi has no reason to disagree.

☆ 18. Chapter 18

Chapter 18

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, An Yan's eldest sister An Xuan was the first to arrive at An Yuan. "

Looking at An Xuan who was tired and in good spirits, but couldn't hide the tired look in her eyes, An Yanyi felt a little distressed.

The An family is what it is today, which is inseparable from the contributions of his family. Of course, he will not belittle himself, and he also has a share of the credit. Unexpectedly, the original idea of ​​opening a supermarket would bring real benefits to Anjia.

"Sister, let's take a hot bath and rest first. I'll call you for dinner." An Yan led An Xuan up to the second floor, pointed at two small suites with bathrooms and said, "Take a look, if you like it, Choose a room, if it's too small, then go to the third floor."

"The third floor is not for the second uncle to live in?" An Xuan smiled, this was really strange. She had heard the news before that the third floor was originally for the second uncle's family. The fourth floor belongs to the third uncle, and the fifth and sixth floors are for guests.

"Grandma made a fuss a few days ago, but grandpa didn't agree." An Yan blinked. He didn't expect grandpa to change his mind temporarily and make such a decision. If he had known this, the second floor would not have been designed like this.

"Okay, let's go to the third floor and have a look." An Xuan followed her parents into politics and has a strong personality. She will not do anything like a soft bun. Since there is a better choice, she will not give up.

The layout of the third floor is different from that of the second floor. The second floor is designed for a family. There is only one suite. Considering that An Xuyang and An Xuan are both in their thirties, the two small suites each have a small living room and bathroom, which will be convenient in the future. Small couples activities.

There is also only one suite on the third floor, but the bathroom is shared. The same is true for the fourth floor. Only the fifth and sixth floors have a completely different layout. They are all single rooms and the bathroom is located at the end of the corridor outside the door.

After An Xuan saw it, she immediately decided to live on the third floor. She unceremoniously chose the master bedroom. As for her twin brother An Xuyang, I'm sorry. Whoever lets him arrive later will of course have to pick up the rest. Whether he chooses to live in a house with her or She didn't have any problem with following her parents.

"Okay, sister, you don't need to accompany me. You go and accompany your wife." As she said this, An Xuan winked at An Yan, smiled wickedly, and chased An Yan out of the room like a duck. After such a fuss, a lot of the fatigue she had accumulated over the past few months disappeared.

An Yan could still hear An Xuan's malicious laughter until he went upstairs. He touched the back of his head, his eyebrows curled up in laughter, and the lines on his face became a little softer.

Three days later, in time for New Year's Eve, An Yi and his wife arrived at An Yuan together, but An Xuyang was still missing.

Seeing that the sun was almost setting and the New Year's Eve dinner was being served, An Yan asked An Yi in a low voice: "Dad, are you not going back this year?"

"I'm not sure about this either." An Yi's already serious face became serious again. Score a few points. Although the army has strict discipline and restricted access, An Xuyang is only a member of the local army and is only responsible for guarding Anping City. In the past, he was basically present during the New Year. This year... "I haven't seen you since I have been in Anping City for so long. Brother?"

"No." An Yan shook his head.

An Yi's heart trembled. Won't his eldest son be sent to eliminate the mutant creatures in the surrounding areas? Soon, he concentrated his mind and did not reveal this worry, so as to save his wife and children from worrying that they would not even have a good New Year. He said with a natural expression: "Soldiers are no better than others. It is normal for Xuyang not to go home for the New Year. In previous years, Isn't there a time like this? Now is the time when the country needs people, and there are many officers and soldiers in the army who stick to their posts, and he is not the only one."

An Yan thought about it one by one, and felt that this was the reason, so he stopped talking about it and turned to And looked at Zhou Junting.

Zhou Junting immediately understood and raised his glass to toast An Yi: "Dad, this glass of wine is for you, you have worked hard in the past six months."

An Yi nodded slightly, stood up, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, then turned to glare at An Yan one by one. Eye. On such a festive occasion, he didn't want to embarrass Zhou Junting. He really raised a good son. His elbows were turned outward. After drinking this glass of wine, didn't he acknowledge the relationship between the two? Then how will he put himself in line with his elders in the future?

Zhou Junting couldn't hide the smile on his face. He changed his wine glass and refilled it. This time it was not liquor, but wine, suitable for ladies. He raised his glass and turned to Zeng Ying and An Xuan, who were also drinking wine.

"Mom, I'm older than Yan, so I won't say anything else. As long as I have a bite to eat, he will definitely have his share."

Zeng Ying smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Okay, I hope you will do what you say. "After saying that, he picked up the goblet, clinked it with Zhou Junting's glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Take it easy." An Yi reminded in a low voice.

"I'm happy today." Where does Zeng Ying care about this now? They work so hard outside to provide their children with a better life. Unexpectedly, before the two older ones were settled, the youngest one took the lead. It's really unpredictable.

Although Zeng Ying had objected to it at the beginning, the past was over. Now that she had decided to accept her younger son's different sexual orientation, she would not show off to others. She didn't bother to do something so frivolous. If she wanted to object, she would object to the end. If she agreed, she would treat others well. Even if Zhou Junting was not her ideal son, she would not embarrass him because of it.

When it was An Xuan's turn, Zhou Junting ran into trouble. The elders gave An Yan a little face, but An Xuan didn't have to worry about it. Because she was An Yan's eldest sister, Zhou Junting took her little baby away and made him drink three glasses of wine before she would give up.

Zhou Junting is quite happy, why not just drink three glasses of wine? He could bear it, so he picked up the wine glass and drank.

Seeing that An Xuan was still trying to cause trouble, An Yan glanced at An Xuan and told her to stop.

An Xuan had no choice but to sit down, her expression still unfinished. Alas, such a good opportunity was missed. I don't know when the next time will be. This kid Zhou Junting is not that easy to bully. Anyone who attacks him must be careful of his revenge. Now is the most suitable time. Zhou Junting will not do anything to her because of such a trivial matter. What a pity, what a pity!

Thinking of the missed opportunity, An Xuan rolled her eyes at An Yan, "You little heartless white-eyed wolf, why are you treating me so well? Is this how you treat me?" He couldn't even give Zhou Junting a little embarrassment, his heart was so biased.

If An Yanyi knew An Xuan's deepest complaints, he would definitely scream that she was wronged. Zhou Junting's body is lying there. Drinking too much alcohol will harm your health. Even wine is not good. After drinking several glasses of wine in a row, mixed with white wine, I don't know how much trouble will be tonight. If I drink more, I won't have a New Year's Eve dinner. After eating, Zhou Junting had to lie down immediately. Wouldn't this ruin everyone's happiness?

The scene was harmonious for a while.

Others may not be so sincere in sending blessings to the couple of An Yan and Zhou Junting, and many people are smiling without reaching their eyes. In a family like the An family, there was a deviant in the family, and it was too late to hide it. His family alone didn't seem to care at all.

With Zhou Junting moving into An Yuan in such a grand manner, outsiders may have known about their relationship for a long time and would not say anything in person, and they might not know what to say about their An family behind the scenes.

As long as An Yanyi's parents didn't object, even An Jianmin happily agreed, which was beyond their expectations.

Of course, no one is stupid. If you have any problems, you have to deal with them after today.

This year was spent in a lively atmosphere with a large family.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, my aunt and my sister-in-law also came to visit relatives, making An Yuan even more lively. If not for most of the residents in the east wing going home to celebrate the New Year, An Yuan would have been overcrowded.

In the past, the second uncle and the third uncle's family would leave after the New Year's Eve dinner at Anyan's family, but this year they did not leave until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year with their large and small bags of belongings. Even the aunt and uncle's family stayed for two days before leaving.

Obviously, as the living environment changes, every family is quietly changing. Among them, the Anyan family with the best living conditions is naturally valued more.

The master bedroom on the seventh floor of Anyuan.

Finally calmed down, An Yan lay on the bed with his limbs spread out, looking relaxed.

Except for his family, every family has children. When several of them get together, let alone the excitement, it can shake the world. He is not a loner, and he has no place to hide at this time. He has to show up every day to accompany guests. More importantly, he often has to take care of the older little ones.

Not everyone is a naughty child, but no matter how well-behaved a child is, it is his nature to always be unable to run away, which makes An Yan feel tired.

On the afternoon of the sixth day of the lunar month, An Yi and his wife started packing their things, with An Xuan and An Yanyi helping.

"Mom, which seaside city are you going to this time to dispatch personnel and supplies?" An Yan asked while packing.

"I'm not going. Your dad and I will work in Xicheng, the satellite city of Anping City." Zeng Ying straightened up with a smile on her face, and there was a hint of pride in An Yi's eyes.

"Xicheng?" An Yanyi and An Xuan frowned at the same time, "Isn't that just a framework with nothing?" "

That's good." Zeng Ying was very satisfied with this, "One carrot and one pit, every position in Anping City The staff has been full for a long time. If we step in, even if we offend others, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get the previous position. Instead of having n layers of leaders above us, we might as well develop in a small, poor place." At

this time, the two siblings also paid attention. Seeing the look on An Yi's face, he suddenly realized: "Dad, you want to be the lord of a city?"

An Yi nodded reservedly, and later pointed out the mistake: "Not the lord of a city, but the county magistrate."

The two sisters My brother smiled and said nothing, but they all meant the same thing.

An Yanyi didn't know much about things at the political level, but he knew that before this happened, his father would never take the path of delegating power to the grassroots. How can small local officials be as popular as capital officials? Not counting anything else, the light level is far behind. Now, the city lords of various cities, no, the county magistrates and mayors have become the hot cakes, and everyone is vying for it. I am afraid that An Yi can get this position through the use of his connections.

The situation is different, and the choices are different. Compared with a capital official in charge of dozens or hundreds of people and a city or county, each person has an idea of ​​what is better and worse, and it depends on what each person pursues.

Apparently, after discussion, An Jianmin and An Yi unanimously decided to take the top position in Xicheng.

No matter what you do, if you want to climb up, you will definitely offend people, let alone government officials. If you are afraid of trouble, you might as well just go home and sit down. What Zeng Ying said just now is completely an excuse, and this is the real reason.

"Dad, do you have any privileges in Xicheng?" After putting aside the initial worries, An Yan was more looking forward to the future and asked what he was thinking without any concealment.

"Privilege?" An Yi frowned into the word "Chuan", "Why do you ask? I won't let you mess around." "

Really?" An Yan asked unwillingly, "For example, getting a piece of land..."

" What do you want the land for? A place as big as An Yuan is not enough for you to live in?" An Yi said sternly with a straight face.

How could An Yanyi be frightened by this small scene? He didn't care what An Yi thought. He immediately started thinking and quickly found a perfect reason: "Dad, what kind of person do you think I am? Don't I want to help you? In order to support Dad's construction cause, I decided to build a farm as a congratulatory gift."

"Pfft." Two laughters escaped from Zeng Ying and An Xuan's mouths, and the latter laughed so hard that his shoulders kept shaking.

It's so funny. How can a charming young man like An Yanyi, who can't even tell the difference between grains, run a farm? Don't waste the food.

An Yi, who was originally sullen, twitched the corners of his mouth. It was really the sun rising from the west. Zhou Junting was sitting behind him when he was running a company and a store. He could rest assured that running a farm... it was a shame he could figure it out. He didn't do it on a whim. .

Nowadays, even old farmers dare not boast about Haikou. How much crops can be harvested depends on God's help. If there is no harvest, the couple will lose all their savings?

Nowadays, there are not many people who dare to contract the land. They are afraid that if they plant it, they will be white, and they will lose all their money in the end. At present, all the fields that are uncultivated have been re-owned by the state. The government pays to hire people to plant them. Of course, they are also welcome. Someone is contracting, and the contracting fee is not money, but directly paid with farmland output. This shows how much the country values ​​food.

If we just contract the land to build a farm, the matter is not difficult. Why do we need to use our privileges? Just go through the procedures directly.

After laughing, An Yi began to consider the feasibility of the proposal: "Have you discussed this with Jun Ting?"

"Not yet." An Yanyi also made an impromptu idea. He didn't know that An Yi had moved his position before, so it was naturally impossible. Negotiate with Zhou Junting.

"Why don't you ask?"

An Yan was kicked out of the door in despair. Soon the clouds turned sunny again, and he trotted downstairs to find Zhou Junting in the west wing.

"An Yi, do you really agree?" Zeng Ying's smile faded and she couldn't believe it.

"Yes, Dad, Yan Yi is good at playing games and practicing martial arts, so let's forget about farming." An Xuan agreed.

"We have to find something for him to do. He can't just stay at home all the time." An Yi said with a serious face, "Now that business is hard to do, wouldn't Junting shut down the Taiyi Group? Neither of them has a source of income now. , this is not possible."

Anyi paused, and then continued: "Currently, most of the supplies are in the hands of the state. Even if Yanyi wants to reopen the supermarket, it will not work. The state is very strict in this regard. Opening a small store It's okay to make a small fuss, but it's impossible for the supermarket to do it. Since he has this intention, why don't I help him? Even if there is no harvest, he can gain experience. Besides, aren't we still supporting him? It won't let him down. They drink the northwest wind."

Zeng Ying and An Xuan immediately understood that An Yi wanted An Yan to spend money to teach him a lesson. Although supplies are now under control, you can't buy whatever you want, but spending more money , they can still get a lot of things, and An Yanyi and Zhou Junting are fully able to afford the food needed for the contracted fields.

Moreover, this is only the worst-case scenario. If the farm is completed, it will be a huge surprise. The benefits far outweigh the disadvantages for An Yan and his wife, as well as for the entire An family.

Zhou Junting, who was sorting supplies in the west wing, was stunned when he heard An Yanyi's suggestion: "Why did you think of starting a farm? None of us have experience. Do you want to hire an old grandfather to come out?" "

What's the matter ? No?" An Yanyi did not deny it. He approached Zhou Junting and whispered, "This is just external rhetoric. Now there is a lot of waste in Xicheng, and it is winter again. Before the sowing season, many farmlands are empty, which is perfect for use. Come and move Anjia's old house."

Zhou Junting was delighted: "Have you found a way to move Anjia's old house?"

"There is a way, but the cost is huge. I won't use it until the end." An Yan curled his lips.

During this time, he was thinking about moving his home whenever he had free time, and finally he found a way. Just using this method will cause damage to the World Tree. Even if there is sufficient energy in the future, it will not be able to move again for at least a year. This lacks mobility. Who knows what will happen in the future?

"How far is Xicheng from Anping City?"

"Less than a hundred kilometers."

"It's quite convenient. Okay, I'll do as you say." After figuring out the cause and effect, Zhou Junting no longer objected. He had no farming experience, so Just find experienced workers. If you lose money, where will you lose?

Because of An Yanyi's sudden move, the original plan was disrupted, and Zhou Junting had to make temporary changes. He didn't plan to separate from An Yan, and he would have to pack another set of luggage, and some supplies would have to be transported to Xicheng. He simply stopped what he was doing. There were too many things to prepare, and he might not be able to pack them all by himself. Can't even finish it at night.

Zhou Junting immediately went back to his room to make a list, while An Yan ran to his parents to discuss the specific contract matters. After reaching an agreement, he ran to his grandfather's room, where they closed the door and discussed carefully.

"You want to invite me, an old man, to come out?" An Jianmin's beard trembled.

"Well, grandpa is always strong, so you just go there for an outing and help me and Jun Ting hold eye shots by the way."

"We are all gone, what are you going to do with An Yuan?" An Jianmin glanced at him.

"Grandma is still here, and Jun Ting's subordinates won't all follow..." An Yanyi spoke softer and quieter, and eventually became completely silent.

There are so many supplies in An Yuan that it's really hard to have no one in charge. There used to be an old man here. Although he has retired for several years, his contacts are there. No matter how jealous others are, they don't dare to take An Yuan's idea. If An Jianmin is not around for a long time, , with the few manpower left by Zhou Junting, I'm afraid it won't be able to suppress it.

No matter how many people there are, they can't equal the power, right?

As for grandma, it doesn't matter if you don't tell her, she won't deliberately embarrass An Yanyi and the others, but she often does things like seeking benefits for her second and third uncles. This time she stayed here instead of following her second uncle's family, so she had this idea. .

It is unlikely that grandma will go to Xicheng with grandpa. Now the two elders live in separate rooms. There is naturally a reason for this. However, it involves the past more than thirty years ago. An Yan only knows a rough idea and refuses to comment on this matter. Comment.

Without Grandpa's control, wouldn't the entire Anyuan be Grandma's world? An Yanyi couldn't even imagine what it would be like by then. If one day he and Zhou Junting come back for a short stay and find that someone has visited the room, things may not go well.

Of course, grandma would not do such a dishonorable thing, because she was afraid that the children of the second uncle and the third uncle's family would not know the importance of the matter. Nowadays, various places are mainly focused on housing migrant people. Schools and the like have to be pushed back, and every school is overcrowded. In the newly built cities, many people are left alone at home. It is normal for grandma to pick them up.

An Jianmin sighed: "Ask a master to take charge, and I'll go over occasionally to check on you, so that you two won't be fooled."

In fact, An Jianmin didn't know what he was doing. He had only done it before he was a teenager. After that, he went to join the army and never did anything again. How many years have passed, and I don't know if I can pick up the original craft again, but I still know more than two young people who don't know anything. He can't help with anything else, at least not Let the two of them be deceived by others.

"Then I'll help you, grandpa." An Yan happily helped his grandpa go out, but he still felt disgusted.

An Jianmin didn't push his grandson away to help him. His face was disdainful, but he didn't know how to feel happy in his heart.

At this time, An Yi and Zeng Ying were already waiting in the living room. When they saw An Jianmin coming out, they stood up and said goodbye to him.

"Do a good job!" An Jianmin didn't say much. He only gave these three words, then patted An Yan on the shoulder and motioned for him to go out and see someone off.

An Yan felt that his grandfather was doing something unnecessary. How could he not give it to his parents when they went out? However, I didn't have time to talk to my grandfather now, so I immediately ignored it and directly pulled Zhou Junting to send his parents out of the side door before stopping.

An Yi and his wife went first, while An Yan and his wife went later.

Two days later, An Xuan also reported to the new department.

After that came An Yanyi and Zhou Junting. When they also left, An Yuan suddenly became quiet. There were two old people, An Jianmin and Wang Xiao, in the main building. The east wing was also empty. Zhou Junting had just returned to An Yuan to work. Many of their subordinates followed them to Xicheng.

Since there is no direct expressway, An Yanyi and the others took the national highway. Even if there was no detour, the speed could not go up. It was less than 100 kilometers, so the group drove for more than two hours to get there.

After arriving at the place, An Yan non-stop looked around for land that could be contracted. It's not that he's too impatient, it's that he doesn't have time. The seawater has already reached the vicinity of Xiayuan Village. In three to five days at most, An's old house will be flooded. He can use energy to make the mobile home block the seawater, but this is Not to mention the huge energy consumption, it is also too conspicuous.

Although there are not as many people left behind in Qixian County as there are in Huajing City, they are not just one or two. Maybe someone will find something unusual in Anjia's old house for a while. As time goes by, it is hard to say.

For safety reasons, An Yan chose the farm on the outskirts of Xicheng, and An Yi stepped in to speed up the contracting process. After signing the contract, construction started immediately. The farm accommodation land was tightly surrounded with black cloth, and then all Zhou Junting's subordinates were sent away to let them Go to Xicheng Anyi to work, and Zhou Junting will be responsible for the construction himself.

After confirming that everything was correct, An Yanyi took Zhou Junting into the space door and appeared again in the log cabin of the An family's old house.

At this time, the entire Xiayuan Village was quiet. An Yan listened carefully and confirmed that there was no movement around, then climbed up the tree and looked out. There were sparkling waves in the distance, and it was obvious that the sea water had flooded the low-lying areas of the village.

Seeing that this place was about to be occupied by sea water, An Yan felt relieved. After returning to the wooden house, he immediately ordered the control core to disguise himself. The surroundings of the An family's old house were slowly enveloped in mist. Now, Satellite has nothing to do with An's old home, so he can act with confidence.

As for how to explain the disappearance of the An family's old house, it's easy to handle. Just refuse to admit it. As long as no one sees them appearing in the An family's old house, it has nothing to do with the two of them, let alone the rest of the An family. Even if someone discovers the disappearance of An's old home in the future, it will only become a strange story, and maybe they will find various reasons to make it happen.

The conventional way of moving a mobile home is to fly, but this time An Yanyi took an unusual route. At the cost of damaging the World Tree, he launched an emergency plan and directly took the space door, allowing An's old house to travel through space and land on the farm.

There was no earth shaking as imagined. As soon as An Yan gave the order, the energy of the mobile home dropped crazily, and the An family's old house was suspended in the air.

An Yan hurriedly opened the space door in the sky, and the An family's old house crashed into it. When it appeared again, the world had changed.

"It's a bit cold, Junting, what do you think?" An Yan shrank his arms and looked at the man beside him.

"It's a bit. It seems that the World Tree is seriously injured." Zhou Junting quickly reacted and put a coat on his body. Then he activated the flashlight mode of his mobile phone and looked at the window. The two of them couldn't help but gasp.

The originally green World Tree was now desolate, with withered yellow leaves falling to the ground from time to time. The only growing Fire Crystal Fruit seemed to have lost its vitality, without any luster, like a dead thing.

An Yan hurriedly checked the various functions of the mobile home and found that the situation was more serious than previously expected. The energy of the mobile home was exhausted and needed to be replenished as soon as possible. It would not be able to change places within two years. If it was moved by force, the world tree was likely to wither. The control core has now become bleak.

Fortunately, the space door can still be used, but every time it is used, it consumes three times the energy of the past. Using the space door originally consumes a lot of energy. Now An Yanyi does not plan to use it again unless it is necessary. At worst, he will have to drive a few more times. yes.

Although there are threats of flaming creatures outside, the danger is not that big after all. The troops are not just for good looks. Once discovered, they will be eliminated immediately. If you go out with more manpower, it should not be a big problem. Besides, he may not be so unlucky. .

An Yanyi is now connected to Mobile Home. As time passes, the situation of Mobile Home is fed back to him bit by bit without passing through the control core. For An Yanyi, the foundation of Mobile Home, World Tree has been destroyed. Feel the hurt.

"Brother, be patient, just this time, there won't be another time." An Yan stepped out of the wooden house and patted the lifeless tree trunk. While cheering it up, he also set a goal for himself.

At this moment, An Yan felt particularly deeply and clearly that the mobile home was not a dead thing. Although the world tree had no intelligence, it was blooming with its unique life splendor.

Zhou Junting stood under the rope ladder, not approaching, and just watched quietly. It wasn't until An Yan finished communicating with World Tree that he reminded him to go to bed early. They would be busy for a while.

As soon as An Yan understood, although this house had been renovated and its appearance was 90% new, it was not a real new house.

In order to avoid damage, the exterior walls and the like had to be painted, and the soil near the World Tree had to be loosened to make it look like it had been transplanted.

As long as it can be fooled, the rest will be easy to deal with. As soon as An Yan was nostalgic, he rebuilt a house according to the pattern of the An family's old house. The world tree became like this, but he didn't even bother to explain its existence. No one One would think that such a big old tree would be the vital old tree in Anjia's old house.

The next day, An Yanyi and Zhou Junting got up early and were busy inside and outside. Neither of them had ever done this job before, and they were complete novices. What others could do in a day or two would take them several times longer to complete.

It was already more than half a month later when the An family's old house was repainted inside and out, and no detail was missed.

Not to mention An Yanyi, even Zhou Junting was so tired that he collapsed on the bed and didn't want to move regardless of his appearance. This kind of thing happened once, and he really didn't want to experience it a second time.

Once the An family's old house was settled, other things would be easy to handle. Zhou Junting quickly found another construction team and started building the dormitory building immediately.

Fortunately, it is not cold at all in the central and western regions this winter. Otherwise, the land may still be frozen during this season, and the difficulty of construction will rise sharply, at least the labor cost will increase significantly.

Another month has passed, and the dormitory building dozens of meters away from Anjia's old home, which was started later, has reached the final stage. When the weather gets warmer, the farm can start construction.

At this time, the seeds have been put in place and the livestock seedlings have been contacted for a long time. When the farm is reorganized, it will be ready for move-in.

China Observatory after relocation.

There is a video conference going on at the moment.

"Director Ji, according to your theory, the weather should be getting warmer at this time. What do you think of the current phenomenon?" "

There are two possibilities. One is that the earth has been separated from the influence of another world, and the other is..." At this point , Director Ji didn't say anything further.

"Say it quickly, don't make people's appetites."

"You really want me to say it?"

"It's already been like this, what else can't you accept?"

"Okay, if you want to hear it, just tell me." Director Ji closed his eyes. He opened his mouth again and said expressionlessly, "Be prepared to welcome the next world or multiple worlds to meet the earth at the same time." The

originally noisy scene was instantly replaced by silence. Many people opened their mouths, subconsciously wanting to say something. Breaking the silence, but not knowing what to say.

This conclusion was so terrible that everyone would rather not hear Director Ji's speculation.

"The meeting is over and adjourned." This matter was beyond the scope of his responsibilities. The initiator of the video conference immediately announced the dissolution of the meeting and immediately contacted the superior unit.

Settle into your old home.

An Yanyi was waiting for the temperature to rise so that he could start spring plowing. Unexpectedly, the longer he waited, the lower the temperature would be. Originally, the coldest time was still more than ten degrees during the day, and it would not be lower than five degrees at night, which was colder than normal in many areas in the south. It's warm, but within a few days, the temperature drops below zero at night and less than ten degrees during the day.

Is this the late spring cold?

An Yanyi could only comfort himself in this way, otherwise he would not be able to survive this day.

Throughout last year, apart from a good summer harvest in China, the autumn harvest was completely reduced. In a few places, there was a rare phenomenon of crop failure. Coupled with the food stocks destroyed by meteorite disasters, if this year's harvest is not good, let alone the people's livelihood. It's hard to live with, and I'm afraid even the rich may not be able to withstand it.

"It's so cold!" An Yan shivered and hugged Zhou Junting tightly, who was pressed against him. Then he realized something was wrong, regained consciousness instantly, turned on the light and got up.

Not long after he stretched out his hand from the quilt, it felt cold. An Yan quickly took out a thick down jacket and put it on, then covered Zhou Junting with a quilt and tucked it tightly. Then he picked up the phone, only to find that there was no signal.

The snow outside the window was covered with snow, but An Yanyi had no intention of admiring it. Could this be a belated winter?

After sighing, An Yan remembered one thing that he had ignored before. He remembered that he turned on the air conditioner last night and the pipelines were buried underground. Even if the temperature was as low as 20 or 30 degrees below zero, it could still operate normally. Now But there was no sound at all. He opened the door and went to the study room to try it. The air conditioner also didn't work.

It seems that the protection strength of the mobile home has been reduced a lot. Otherwise, the mobile home will take the initiative to defend against the weather that may cause frostbite if one is not careful.

An Yanyi always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, until the motionless figures of two turtles in the corner of the room came into view, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Leopard tortoises cannot tolerate low temperatures, and the indoor temperature suddenly drops to at least minus one to twenty degrees. It won't...

An Yanyi simply can't imagine that besides Zhou Junting's special concern for him, these two are his second concern. Little guy, if... I don't know how sad he would be.

Putting this aside, An Yanyi himself has developed feelings for these two little ones. If that happens, it is inevitable to feel disappointed and sad.

An Yan quickly stepped forward and lifted the thick quilt covering the turtle's back. This was prepared after the temperature dropped suddenly in the past few days. The previous cover was even thinner.

An Yan stretched out his hand to explore the abdomens of the two turtles. He could no longer feel any warmth, and his heart suddenly felt cold. He didn't know what to do, so he could only wrap them tightly in three layers and stuff them on the bed, hoping that they would do well.

"Jun Ting, wake up." An Yan looked at Zhou Junting who was balled up into a ball, and he couldn't bear it, but he had to disturb his dream.

Under An Yan's repeated harassment, Zhou Junting moved his eyebrows, automatically leaned towards the heat source, and fell asleep again.

"..." Forget it, I can't even wake him up. I'm afraid it will be affected by the low temperature, so An Yanyi has to go up alone.

Although there is a kang in the An family's old house, to be honest, An Yanyi may not be able to handle it. He knows the method, but he is far from being proficient, let alone proficient? He originally thought that with one more person to think of a solution, the kang could be burned earlier, but now he couldn't care about that. Since Zhou Junting couldn't wake him up, he had to do it by himself.

But before that, An Yan had to go to the dormitory building first. There were many employees living there, most of them were Zhou Junting's subordinates, and a few were workers recruited by the farm. He hoped that they would not be too cold, otherwise this would happen. Where can I go to seek medical advice when the weather is bad?

It was almost knee-deep in snow outside, so An Yan put on a pair of leather boots, a leather hat and leather gloves, and a raincoat, and went out fully armed.

It took An Yan more than a minute to arrive in just a few dozen meters. After just such a short amount of time, the coolness spread from the soles of his feet. When the wind blew, it became even more bone-chilling, and he felt his bones aching.

An Yan banged on the door, and it took a while for someone to answer the door.

"Dong Peng, wake up everyone else, and then look for anyone who knows how to burn the kang."

Dong Peng nodded, and the two of them acted separately.

Before leaving, Dong Peng took another look at An Yanyi. He knew that An Yanyi was practicing martial arts and was in good health, but he didn't expect him to be so alert. None of their bodyguards were awakened by the cold, but he noticed it first.

Dong Peng rubbed his hands, but the heat still couldn't be retained, so he could only put them in his coat pocket. With this damn weather, I don't know how many frail people will freeze to death tonight, but there's no way they can even call, even if they want to send someone to notify them.

The number of people Zhou Junting brought here was not large, only a dozen, plus a few farm workers, a total of more than 20 people.

The two yelled a few times in the corridor, then knocked on the doors of each room to make sure no one was missed, and then returned to the hall downstairs to wait.

Soon, two people came downstairs. They were both locals in their forties or fifties. Not to mention their good kang-burning skills, at least they would not fill the air with smoke and burn the kang for half a day without getting warm.

An Yan picked a slightly younger old man, and the older one stayed in the dormitory building, asking him to heat up the several big kangs downstairs as soon as possible so that others could move in.

"Dong Peng, the four of you will discuss it. Let two of you stay in the dormitory building, and the other two will follow me. Then call Chen's special assistant Jiang Tao. From now on, you will live together with us to make it easier for you to do things." , An Yanyi added, "Keeping those two here is only temporary. When arrangements are made here, the four of you will still be together."

People around Zhou Junting were very happy to do things, and it didn't take long for Dong Peng to appoint An Yanyi. Everyone is called.

Vaguely, An Yanyi seemed to hear the sound of tables and chairs being touched. He didn't know how the four bodyguards negotiated, and Dong Peng secured a spot for himself.

Experts took action, and the kang burned quickly. An Yan and a few others tried it one by one, and after making sure they learned five or six points, he sent Uncle Xu back to the dormitory building.

As soon as the kang was hot, An Yan went upstairs and carried Zhou Junting downstairs. Zhou Junting didn't even wake up due to such a big movement. An Yan felt a layer of gloom in his heart. He stretched out his hand to check to make sure he didn't have a fever. He finally felt relieved.

Spots and Spots were also moved to the feet of the kang to cover them, hoping they could survive.

After settling the good man and the two little ones, An Yan ordered his bodyguard Liu Dingshan to guard the house, and he called Dong Peng and asked him to wrap himself up thickly. He did the same himself. The two of them wore lamps on their heads, one foot deep and one foot shallow toward Xicheng. Go.

☆ 19. Chapter 19

Chapter 19

The farm is on the outskirts of Xicheng, very close to Xicheng. In addition, Xicheng is only a county-level city. It is not a big place and it was just built. The buildings are relatively concentrated. Even so, An Yanyi and Dong Peng also It took more than an hour to walk to the county government building.

Unlike Anping City, Xicheng did not have as many people invested in construction, and the construction has not been completed yet. Wherever the two of them passed along, several communities were dark, and it was obvious that no one lived in them at all.

The main purpose of An Yanyi's trip was not to save people. After such a long time, there were so many people in the city pointing to him to report the news. I'm afraid a large area would have been frozen to death. He came here just to make sure his parents were safe. Take a look here. What's the situation? See if I can help.

In the end, the two of them were in vain. Neither An Yi nor Zeng Ying was there. When they inquired, they learned that they were going to a nearby community to inspect the situation. An Yanyi and Dong Peng had to change their route, but they drank a large bowl cooked by the county government's left-behind staff. Start with the warm ginger soup.

An Yan was freezing to the point of being exposed outside for a minute or two. Even if he added clothes and kept moving, the cold still seemed to invade his body at any time.

"Can you hold on?" The weather was unusually cold. An Yan felt that there was nothing wrong with him, but that didn't mean that Dong Peng who was with him could do the same. He practices martial arts to strengthen his body. He has never competed in martial arts, so I don't know. His physical fitness is probably much better than Dong Peng's.

"It's okay."

"You just have to be aware of it. No one can fall down now. If you can't bear it, just say so and don't force yourself." An Yan didn't say anything more. After explaining, he walked in the direction pointed by the left-behind government personnel.

Not long after he entered the community, An Yan heard a cry coming from the wind. It was sad and depressing. In fact, this was not the first time he heard it all the way here. At this time, what does such crying mean? , both of them knew that either the person was dying or had passed away.

It was just that before, it was far away, vague and hard to hear clearly. After a few steps, it dissipated in the wind. Both of them deliberately did not think about it. Now that they are getting closer and closer to the crying, it is impossible to ignore it anymore.

"Dad, Mom."

Zeng Ying turned around in surprise and followed the sound, but her joy just rose and then faded away again: "What are you doing here? It's such a cold day, don't freeze out, I You and your dad are in good health. Okay, you have seen it, go back to the house and rest. Here, here is the key."

After that, he gave An Yi an elbow.

"Listen to your mother, after such a long journey, stop working. It's enough for me and your mother to watch over here." An Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, but in the end he failed to smile.

The situation is so bad that so far, no less than two people have died from freezing, not to mention people suffering from frostbite. The only hospital in the city is already overcrowded.

This is not the worst case scenario. The big problem is that the air conditioner cannot be used. Although each house has installed heating, due to the relatively high temperature previously, the coal reserves were insufficient. If the temperature had not suddenly started to cool down a few days ago and some coal was temporarily transferred, the reserves would have been even smaller.

This amount can't be sustained for long. If such severe cold weather lasts for half a year like the previous high temperature, An Yi simply can't imagine the situation at that time.

This community has obviously been heated, and the indoor temperature is much higher than outside, but it is only around zero. It is obvious that the heating has just been supplied not long ago.

As soon as An Yan took off his coat, he stepped forward and checked his parents' pulse. It was strong and not cold. He felt relieved immediately, and then worried about his relatives far away.

As long as grandma and the others get through the initial period, they will be fine. The eldest brother is strong and strong. If something happens to him, at least half of the people in China will disappear from the earth. What An Yanyi is most worried about is his eldest sister, not the others. , just because she was working alone in another city and looked pretty good, he was not afraid of anything else. He was just afraid that hunger and cold would make people jealous, and he would have evil intentions towards her eldest sister.

The young man of this family did not survive in the end. As soon as An Yan was kicked out by his parents, he had not even left the gate of the community. The crying in the wind became even more heartbreaking. An Yan paused for a moment, and later Continue forward without any further hesitation until you return to the county government compound.

The two separated at the door, Dong Peng stayed with the concierge, while An Yan returned to his parents' dormitory.

This is just the beginning. If there is no rescue, it is hard to say what will happen to this place in the future.

An Yanyi himself is not much better. The mobile home is just a good shelter. No other uses have been found yet. It is still damaged and many functions are discounted. Zhou Junting is obviously frozen. There is no movement in the mobile home. I'm afraid Only when his life is threatened will Mobile Home take the initiative to provide protection.

Thinking of the farm covered by heavy snow, An Yan began to worry. It would be great if the mobile home also included the farm. Only then could it be considered a real home. If it could not continue to provide agricultural products, it would be just a house. To call it a home was a bit unrealistic.

As soon as An Yan looked at the control core floating in the sea of ​​consciousness, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was missing. In nature, leaves, flowers, and fruits all have their own unique charm. Even if a large seed like Control Core only grows one leaf, it would not be so incongruous. To put it bluntly, Control Core It seems to be somewhat deformed.

It's not that An Yanyi hasn't tried it before, but after the leaf as the space gate grew into the control core, there was no movement. No matter how much energy he input, it was all returned to the mobile home. Even if the mobile home was damaged later, he Neither can be repaired with energy.

So far, the World Tree and the Control Core are still as miserable as before. They are obviously damaged and can only recover by themselves. All he can do is not increase the burden of moving his home.

An Yan is used to playing games and dares to think and act. Although most of the games are similar and not difficult, there are a few games with various designed tasks. If the thinking is limited, such games cannot be played at all.

An Yan was trained by the game early on. If his previous attempts were unsuccessful, it does not mean that he will not be successful in the future. It is likely that the prerequisites were not met.

He carefully recalled the process of the emergence of mobile homes. At the beginning, mobile homes automatically classified Anjia's old house as a mobile home without his consent or choice. No more, no less, just enough to include the entire Anjia old house. So how does it judge? There is always a basis.

As for the prerequisites, the farm An Yanyi already has it, but the top is bare and there is nothing except the necessary facilities. Could this be the reason?

He was interrupted by the sound of opening the door. As soon as An Yan came back from his thoughts and saw his parents, he immediately said: "Dad, there were so many people just now. How long can Xicheng's material reserves last?

" Two more months." An Yi's eyebrows were tangled, and the lines he twisted could almost kill mosquitoes. "The food is okay, but the main reason is that coal and other heating materials are not prepared enough. We need to open the road to Anping City as soon as possible." "

Dad, Do you think this can be done? There are more people in Anping City, and there is more than just Xicheng in the satellite city. According to the order, Xicheng has to be the last to get the turn." "

Oh -, it has to be possible, otherwise these nearly 10,000 people will not freeze to death. I will starve to death." An Yi smiled bitterly. He also knew that as long as the weather remained so bad, there was little hope of asking for help from above, but it was impossible for him to give up without giving it a try.

"Your dad is right, you can't give up easily, especially for a county leader like your dad, whose every move is related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people, so he must set an example." Zeng Ying taught her younger son.

"Mom, where are you thinking?" An Yanyi was a little dumbfounded, "I mean don't put all your hope in Anping City. You can clear the roads, but the focus should not be on this." "Where are you putting

it? "An Yi and Zeng Ying both felt quite depressed and were ready to listen to the "high opinions" of their youngest son who had never cared about government affairs.

An Yan coughed lightly and said solemnly: "Dad, Mom, you also know that I am not good at political affairs. If I say something wrong, you can just listen to it. But I still hope that you can accept my next suggestion. Think about it carefully."

"Go ahead, make it so serious."

An Yan no longer titillated: "Dad's top priority now is to gather all the citizens of Xicheng into a few communities to provide centralized heating, centralized food supply, and centralized work. If you don't want to The workers only need to give them rice porridge to make sure they don't have any health problems." "

Citizens can do many things, such as building greenhouses, going up the mountain to cut firewood, etc. Clearing snow on the roads is just one of the tasks. , you can do some readings by the way."

As soon as An Yan finished speaking, he was about to hear his parents' opinions, but the room was completely silent, and no one spoke.

After a long while, An Yi said: "Yan Yi, do you know what you said is a taboo?"

An Yanyi said that he didn't think about it that much.

"Let's not talk about whether the citizens will do what the government says. If I really want to do this, I won't be far away from stepping down. There is only one situation where this kind of approach will not only be okay, but also have merit." An Yi thought for a moment and decided to follow up. The words came out, "Unless the country has no time to take care of itself, all order is in chaos."

"Dad, even if you lose your official position, I and my eldest brother and eldest sister will take care of you. How can you survive without you?" An Yanyi did not answer An Yi directly. , but his meaning is very obvious. He obviously hopes that An Yi will consider the people. If he loses his official position, he will lose his official position. It is no big deal.

An Yi rolled his eyes at his younger son. This kid said it was easy. He had been in politics all his life and was not far from retirement. In the end, he was in trouble and stepped down in embarrassment. How could he have the face to see others?

Removal from office means removal from office. People who don't know what's going on will not investigate why he was dismissed from office, but will only look at him in a strange way.

On one side is An Yi's personal future, and on the other side is the safety of the people of Xicheng. For those who have nothing to do with it, this decision is easy to make. Naturally, the latter should be chosen. But for the person involved, a lifetime of hard work has been wasted and stigmatized. How could things be so easy?

"Dad, life will only be more difficult in the future." An Yanyi pressed the point again. It wasn't that he didn't consider his father's feelings, but the very existence of the mobile home gave him a premonition that something was wrong.

Fortunately, although the meteorite disaster affected a wide area, it only lasted less than an hour and was over. After more than half a year of rebuilding the country after the disaster, social order has stabilized.

Even if there are successive high temperatures, they are only high temperatures and are not accompanied by drought. It rains when it should rain. At most, it means that the grain harvest in some places will be reduced. The reason why the country controls supplies is because it has far-reaching considerations than ordinary people. In fact, The country's grain reserves should be enough to cover the needs of the entire country for half a year to a year.

As for the threat posed by mutant creatures, it is even smaller. Soldiers and police are not just decorations. These things sound appalling, but in fact they are far from the public.

It's different now. The harm caused by low temperature is obviously much more serious than the phenomenon of high temperature without drought. Poor optical communication, heavy snow blocking roads and blocking traffic are enough for people to bear. If this snow soon Stop, that's okay, otherwise, if various places don't get help from the top, I'm afraid order will collapse soon. As for what will happen after reunification, no one can say.

An Yanyi's suggestion was not only for the sake of the citizens, he also wanted to strive for better living conditions for his family. There is no one available. In this world that is obviously going to be in chaos, no matter how many good things there are, they cannot be saved. The nearly ten thousand people in Xicheng are what their family can rely on in the future.

"Where did you get the news?" When An Yanyi said this, An Yi looked at his youngest son with something wrong.

"What else could it be, of course it's just a guess." An Yan showed no guilt at all, and listed the encounters in the past six months one by one, "First there were meteorites falling from the sky, then the high temperature, and now there are road closures with ice and snow, and there are mutated creatures. Dad, what do you think? Is this normal?"

An Yi was silent. He knew a lot more than An Yan. Even so, he had not been able to make a decision. Obviously, he thought more about it than his younger son. Even if he abandons his future career and considers the citizens wholeheartedly, things will not be done easily. All parties must coordinate well, especially the armed police brigade responsible for the safety of Xicheng, which is equivalent to a streamlined battalion-level establishment. Tying them to the same warship would be difficult and might lead to trouble.

"Dad, do you have the food?"

"Well, I've sent extra people to look after it."

"That's good. This matter can't be rushed. You can think about it slowly and see the situation first before talking." An Yanyi said no more Damn, although his starting point is for the good of his own family, maybe he didn't think carefully enough. There are many problems in the implementation of this matter. There are dedicated people to do specialized tasks. He, an outsider, shouldn't just give advice in front of insiders. Maybe it's really him. Self-righteous reads;.

"There's still some time before dawn, you can sleep for a while." Zeng Ying stood up, "I'll call Dong Peng up." "

Mom, just rest, I'll do this." An Yan took the coat and put it on, Go downstairs and bring Dong Peng up, and they will rest in the guest room.

It was already past two o'clock in the morning, the coldest time of the day, but there were still many people with their lights on, indicating that the night was not peaceful.

At three o'clock in the morning, the lights in several communities went out at the same time. It goes without saying what this means. The other communities did not hold out for long. Before five o'clock in the morning, the entire Xi City was dark. Not to mention street lights, even candles and the like were only owned by a few households.

An Yan had a restless sleep this night and woke up at around seven o'clock. Unexpectedly, he couldn't see his hand. He pulled down the desk lamp but it didn't light up. When he pressed the wall switch, the light didn't respond.

An Yan frowned. Forget it, the air conditioner was out of order. There was no electricity, which really added to the chaos. Now, not to mention city people, even rural people like to use rice cookers for cooking. Rural areas are fine, but if there is no electricity in the city, they may not even be able to eat. If you can't do it, you can only use gas stoves, coal stoves, etc.

In this regard, Xicheng has taken advantage. Citizens use canned gas instead of piped gas. As long as you are not too unlucky and the gas in the gas tank is running out, save some and it will last for ten and a half days. Month should not be a problem.

As soon as An Yan came to the living room with a flashlight, he saw a note posted on the refrigerator. When he stepped forward and took a look, he realized that his parents had gone out and had left food for him and Dong Peng to heat up and eat after they got up.

As soon as An Yan turned to the kitchen, Dong Peng also dressed up and went out.

The two had breakfast and sat in the living room waiting, planning to leave at dawn.

Unexpectedly, when it was almost nine o'clock, there was still no light in the sky. An Yan felt bad and immediately left a note for his parents, asking them to go to the farm to find him if they couldn't hold on any longer. As long as he could do it, he would After trying his best to support him, he took Dong Peng with him, and the two of them returned along the original road.

The snow is still falling, and there is no sign of stopping the trend. The footprints originally left can now only be seen as a very shallow mark. It doesn't take long to think that it will be completely covered by the heavy snow, leaving no trace.

The snow that was not even knee-deep at first had already reached my knees over the night.

It is even more inconvenient for the two of them to move. It seems that after today, it may be difficult to even travel if they don't think of a way.

In such weather, it is easy for people to lose their way. Fortunately, the farm is on the outskirts of the city. Otherwise, the two of them would not be able to tell the difference between east, west and north in the heavy snow.

Settle into your old home.

Zhou Junting didn't wake up until six o'clock in the morning. He didn't realize what happened at all. He didn't notice anything unusual until he stretched out his hand from the bed to turn on the light. The biting coldness was transmitted to his brain through his exposed hand.

As a result, it was not over yet. He pressed the switch and the light did not turn on. Zhou Junting immediately woke up and touched the other side of the bed. It was empty. He found his phone in the dark and could not turn it on. He panicked for a moment, but then his many years of experience in shopping malls prompted him to calm down. Come down, the more times like this, the more you need to be calm, panic will only make things worse.

The bed was very warm, and even the place where An Yanyi was supposed to be sleeping next to him was only slightly cooler than the place where he slept, and the touch was even more different. Combined with the ultra-low room temperature, Zhou Junting guessed that he should sleep in the An family's old house now. On the Kang in the upstairs bedroom.

Just for a moment, there was a sound at the foot of the bed. Zhou Junting listened carefully and did not panic. Since An Yan is relieved to let him stay here alone, it means that it is safe here, and there will be no unknown objects on the kang. Such a small noise is probably coming from the two little guys, Spot and Banban.

It's strange to say that these two turtles looked the same when Zhou Junting bought them and they still look the same now. More than half a year later, they have not grown in size. You must know that leopard tortoises are not small tortoises. They are just ordinary in size when they grow to half a meter in adult size. It is not impossible to get bigger. But now they are only as long as a hand. I really don't know that these two will eat all the turtle food. Which reads;.

After confirming that the noise came from the two turtles, Zhou Junting put on his clothes in the dark.

There was no light at all in the room, so he could only rely on the touch of the clothes on the back to determine whether the clothes were worn backwards. As for the front and back, it was easier to find the label.

"Hey, how could you see it?" Zhou Junting squinted his eyes slightly and looked towards the only light source in the room.

I saw that the spot was struggling with the quilt on its body. It took a long time to get out the small half of the turtle's body. The weak light came from the back of the turtle, and there seemed to be a few stars shining on it. It was extremely unstable. It would light up for a while, then light up for a while. Dark, every time it changes, the brightness is different.

It's easy to do if there's light, even weak light. Zhou Junting quickly packed himself up, walked over and held the spot in his hands. As the second half of the turtle shell was exposed, the brightness doubled, but no matter how bright it was, it would still be bright. In the low light range, it is not even as good as an incandescent lamp with only a few watts.

Leopard tortoises are afraid of the cold, but since Spot wants to leave the warm nest, Zhou Junting does not force it to stay under the quilt. Animal senses are sharper than humans, and they will find a place suitable for their survival on their own. If they get cold, He naturally knows how to deal with it, so he is not worried.

Zhou Junting focused his attention on Banban, who was still motionless, and saw that its abdomen was rising and falling slightly. Then he felt relieved and moved it toward the center of the kang, then stood up to find a flashlight.

Zhou Junting rarely comes to this room, but the layout is similar to that of the master bedroom on the second floor, and the items are arranged in the same way. He quickly found a rechargeable desk lamp on the bedside table. After installing the battery, the whole room instantly became bright, and the light on Spot's body became brighter. It is no longer visible. If the light on its back was not still bright and dying, it would be easy to ignore it.

Zhou Junting was well prepared. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, the oncoming cold air was beyond his expectation. He even wore a thick coat, but it still couldn't block the biting cold wind outside.

Zhou Junting tightened his tight clothes, closed the door, went back to the room, put Spot next to Banban as a companion, turned off the lamp, put on a portable searchlight and pushed out the door.

At this time, the snow in the courtyard has almost covered the third step, and there are shallow marks on it where several groups of people have walked. Judging from the depth of the footprints, it should have been a while.

Zhou Junting moved his eyebrows, with a bad premonition. Sure enough, when he checked the next room, he learned from Liu Dingshankou who got up to answer the door that An Yanyi and Dong Peng went to Xicheng to visit his parents last night. , I haven't replied yet, I don't know if it was because I was staying overnight, or...

Zhou Junting didn't think about it anymore, and immediately put aside this bad idea. The farm is right next to Xicheng. An Yanyi left last night. The snow was not so thick at that time. It was unlikely that something would happen to two people with good skills. There was no need for him to scare himself.

Without this worry, Zhou Junting immediately returned to his previous state. The first thing he did was to understand the current situation, and then he began to calculate the material reserves of the dormitory building and follow Jiang Tao's suggestions to formulate a three-meal plan.

Zhou Junting has limited knowledge of outside information, but he is used to leaving an extra escape route in everything. It is obviously impossible to open up food and drink as before. What exactly is going on outside will not be known until An Yan comes back, so now he is preparing for the worst case scenario.

At seven o'clock, it was still dark. At seven-thirty, the charging light went out. Zhou Junting replaced the battery. He took the dead battery in his hand and looked at it carefully. He didn't see what was going on, so he put it on another charging desk lamp and tried it. , the light does not light up, make sure the battery power is exhausted.

Zhou Junting narrowed his eyes slightly, hoping it wasn't what he thought, otherwise he would be in big trouble.

Things often don't depend on people's will. After more than an hour, the charging light went out again, and the expressions of everyone present changed. If it's just that the battery power is draining faster, that's okay, but I'm afraid that the power generated by the generator will also be greatly reduced.

"I'm going to try to develop a motor." Liu Dingshan stood up and connected the wiring of Anjia's old house to the diesel generator.

After a while, the room was shrouded in a familiar light, but no one could laugh. The power generation was significantly reduced, and the efficiency was less than half of what it was before. And as time went by, the power generation was still slowly declining. Although the amplitude was not large, it was still. It always makes people feel uneasy.

☆ 20. Chapter 20

Chapter 20

An Yanyi encountered the same situation over there. There was still some distance from the farm, and the newly replaced battery ran out of power. Fortunately, he was well prepared and replaced it with another battery with full power before starting on the road again.

The two of them walked for more than an hour when they arrived, and when they returned, the time was extended by nearly half. Even if An Yan was in good physical condition, he felt like he was turning into a lump of ice at this time, and his feet were already cold, and there was no trace of them at all. The heat and coldness gradually invaded my thighs. If I stayed in the ice and snow for a few more hours, I might be buried here forever.

"Hold on a little longer, go back and let Jiang Tao handle it for you." An Yan opened his mouth, and the hot air he sprayed touched the scarf and quickly condensed into ice crystals.

Dong Peng nodded but did not respond. He now had little feeling in his legs. If his will had not supported him and he could not give up, he might have fallen down at any time.

This time they went out, the two of them were well prepared, but they could not withstand the power of nature. After one night, the temperature dropped several degrees, and the snow became thicker, making the road difficult to travel. It was a credit to Dong Peng that he could persist for so long. With the advantage of being strong and strong, a weak person would not be able to endure this.

But having said that, if that really happened, the two of them would definitely find themselves in a bad situation, so they would let Dong Peng stay at the government compound and An Yanyi would go alone.

Logically speaking, it wouldn't be so cold at 20 to 30 degrees below zero. You must know that the two of them were walking non-stop, so they could offset some of the coldness.

Judging from the current situation, if he didn't wrap himself up into a ball, he might not be able to go out. If he had known this, An Yan would have prepared some polar cold-proof clothing in advance. The suit he was wearing was still lacking, and the thermal insulation performance was not strong enough.

While the two were concentrating on their way, suddenly, a little light appeared in front of them. It was very weak, but it illuminated the darkness in front of them.

Apparently someone from the farm came to pick them up.

An Yanyi and Dong Peng's thoughts at this moment were surprisingly similar, and they both accelerated their pace.

On the opposite side, Liu Dingshan and others acted as usual because they had just left home not long ago. When they saw the person, they immediately trotted forward.

The two sides quickly reunited. Dong Peng pounced directly on Liu Dingshan, and then failed to take a step forward. In the end, he was carried back by Liu Dingshan.

In such a cold weather, or in the windy and snowy wilderness, Dong Peng actually started to get confused. Liu Dingshan almost made Liu Dingshan mistakenly think that he had severe frostbite. He almost asked someone to check whether he was unconscious, but he refused in an angry manner.

Dong Peng is not so weak. The reason why he is so relaxed is just that he is too relaxed when he sees the farm is approaching and has a partner who has been with him for several years. His body is fine. At most, he has some frostbite. He needs to take care of it. It's okay. He was a pilot and his body was in better shape than his two colleagues, Liu Dingshan and Zhang Zhenan. How could he fall down so easily?

But having said that, the weather is really weird. It stays dark until dawn, and even the temperature is so unusual. It's not like he hasn't experienced temperatures as low as 20 to 30 degrees below zero. It's nowhere near as powerful as this. If you wear thicker clothes, you can walk for several hours. Now it's barely two hours, and your body is reaching its limit. It's really extraordinary. The more I think about it, the colder it seems to be at least one level higher at the same temperature.

The An family's old house has been prepared for a long time. Hot water and ginger soup are all ready for frostbite, and they can be used as soon as someone arrives.

Zhou Junting was waiting by the window inside the house. If he hadn't considered his cold constitution, he would have gone out and waited for someone in person.

The surroundings were very quiet. As soon as there was any movement at the door, the string in Zhou Junting's heart was touched. He quickly opened the door and walked out. Jiang Tao immediately opened it, ready to take action at any time.

There is no doctor on the farm, and the only one we can rely on is Jiang Tao, an amateur doctor without a medical license.

Everyone has nothing to worry about. Jiang Tao's medical skills are obvious to all, and ordinary minor ailments and pains are not a problem at all. As for serious diseases and complicated diseases, this needs factual evidence. In fact, Jiang Tao never had this opportunity in the past, because of his original medical conditions. Well, Jiang Tao will not be contacted even for minor problems, let alone serious illness or injury.

Dong Peng was put on the kang as quickly as possible. After examination, Jiang Tao determined that the frostbite was not serious. He immediately ordered Liu Dingshan and Chen Hua to massage Dong Peng's hands and feet to promote blood circulation and speed up recovery.

When Dong Peng's body temperature slowly rose, Chen Hua punched him and looked at him with disdain: "It's just such a short journey, how can it end up like this? Is it possible that the body is disabled after being discharged from the army?"

"You said it easily, You'll know after you go out and try for two hours." Dong Peng glanced at him sideways. At this time, he already had the strength to quarrel with others, "You and I are just as good as each other. If I'm like this, you won't be much better."

Chen Hua frowned: "What you said is true, aren't you trying to hide your incompetence?"

"Do I need to trick you?" Dong Peng retorted, "Am I that kind of person?"

"I don't think that guy has anything wrong with him. ." Liu Dingshan also joined in and pointed to the next door.

Dong Peng was also greatly surprised. He knew that An Yanyi had a very good physical condition and good skills, not much worse than veterans like them who had experienced in the army, but he did not expect that An Yanyi was so good. Just now, Jiang Tao said during the examination that An Yanyi was in good health, not even slightly frostbite, and was obviously in much better condition than him.

"Does practicing martial arts have such an effect?" Dong Peng said hesitantly, even he himself didn't believe it.

The other people's thoughts were the same as his, but apart from that, they could not think of any other reasons. Therefore, no matter how unbelievable they were, they could only attribute it to this, otherwise it would be completely unexplainable, and they were thinking about learning martial arts.

next door.

An Yan was stripped naked by Zhou Junting, leaving only a pair of shorts and stuffed into the bed.

"Jun Ting, you really don't have to be like this. I'm in good health. Jiang Zhu said there's no problem..." An Yan only said half of what he said. Finally, he was defeated by Zhou Junting's glare and lay down honestly.

This time, Zhou Junting was really frightened. Everything was fine. But after Jiang Tao confirmed that Dong Peng had frostbite below his calf and needed rest and recuperation, Zhou Junting's heart suddenly beat hard. He didn't expect the situation to be so serious.

Dong Peng is his bodyguard, so Zhou Junting naturally knows his identity. The retired pilot, who is physically stronger than ordinary people, has frostbite on his legs. Although it is not serious, it is far beyond Zhou Junting's expectation. At first, he only thought...

"Don't do this in the future. No matter what." Zhou Junting pushed the quilt in, sat on the kang, and said expressionlessly.

"Okay." An Yanyi had no other choice but to agree. When he thought about it afterwards, he was still frightened.

The current climate cannot be speculated based on common sense, otherwise today will be a lesson. During this trip to Xicheng, although An Yanyi had no problems, he suffered no less than Dong Peng along the way. When the wind blows, the thick clothes on his body feel as if he is not wearing anything. The cold is biting to the bone. The feeling of ecstasy is really overwhelming. He is not a masochist, so how can he ask for trouble? Next time he will be more prepared and make sure nothing goes wrong before traveling.

"Are you okay? You couldn't wake up no matter how you screamed last night." An Yan changed the subject and turned to care about Zhou Junting.

"No problem." Zhou Junting didn't feel any discomfort, and he didn't know why he slept so hard last night.

"It's okay. Just pay attention." An Yanyi didn't dwell too much on this matter. Zhou Junting was an adult and naturally knew what to do. He didn't need to stress all day long. He paused and seemed to think of something. He asked cautiously, "Jun Ting, are you okay with Spot Banban?"

"You're fine!" Zhou Junting leaned towards the foot of the kang, picked up two small ones, put the turtle and the quilt in front of An Yanyi, "You yourself Look."

An Yan blinked and made sure his eyes were clear: "Why are the spots glowing and getting bigger?"

Zhou Junting looked suspicious. Before, the spot was only as big as a palm. Did it just grow in size in just a short time? He lowered his eyes and examined carefully, only to realize that the spot that An Yan carried out of the nest seemed to have grown so much, which was incredible. But that's not the only unexpected thing at the moment. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that it's not a big deal. Mutated creatures with fire have appeared, and this one is no exception.

Zhou Junting took Banban, who had not yet woken up, into his hands and lifted off the quilt. He seemed to have grown in height, but the spots were not as obvious.

This is really strange. Leopard tortoises like heat rather than cold. The two he raised at home are better. The high temperature weather stopped growing for a long time, but the cold weather changed continuously. First, the spots on the back began to glow, and then the two He suddenly bucked the trend and grew taller. Could it be that the merchant who sold him the pair of tortoises deceived him and what he bought was not a leopard-print tortoise?

As soon as this idea came up, Zhou Junting rejected it on his own. Looking at their appearance and habits, he knew that these two were genuine leopard-print tortoises.

Weird things happen every year, especially this year.

"Banban hasn't woken up yet?" An Yan pulled up the quilt and leaned his head up.

"No, could it be hibernation?"

"Probably not..." An Yan was not sure, "You see the spots are so active, the difference between the two is not so big."

"That makes sense."

An Yan took a glance Zhou Junting thought to himself that everything is like its owner. Zhou Junting slept so hard last night that even if the King of Heaven came to call him, he might not be able to wake him up. No, the same is true for Banban. The spots are all moving, and Banban is still alive. Slept so sweetly.

When An Yan's thoughts were wandering, Zhou Junting had already rewrapped the two pieces on his chest and placed them on the top of the kang. Ban Ban was not very happy. After struggling twice, he couldn't get away, so he lay down obediently and leaned towards Ban Ban. The light spot on his back slowly receded, and he soon fell asleep.

As soon as it calmed down, An Yanyi also felt sleepy, and his eyes began to blur. After walking in the snow for almost two hours, his physical strength was severely exhausted and he was in urgent need of sleep.

Zhou Junting just watched An Yanyi slowly closing his eyes, waiting for him to sleep peacefully, then leaned over to tuck the quilt for him, then turned off the lights and walked towards the next door.

If the situation changes, the original plan needs to be changed, and he has to re-draw the plan and communicate it.

In Xingyuan City, more than 200 kilometers away from Xicheng, Xiao Han wrapped up his coat tightly, and Zhang Nan, who was also dressed in the same style, leaned on each other and gathered in front of the brazier to warm up.

"Why did you want to come here?" Zhang Nan started to mutter, "Look, it's okay now. We are trapped here. When can we go back to the observatory?" "

Not going back."

"..." Zhang Nan took out his ears, indicating that he was hearing hallucinations, "What did you say?"

"If you don't leave, just stay here."

Zhang Nan was anxious: "What's so good about this place? People who are unfamiliar with the place, except you and Ji Director, I don't know anyone."

"You can't go back even if you want to." Xiao Han said this coolly, and no matter how many questions Zhang Nan asked, she couldn't get out any useful information.

Xiao Han looked at the flames jumping in the brazier, his mind racing. All his original hopes were crushed by reality. Sure enough, what was supposed to come came, and God ignored his unrealistic expectations.

Xiao Han knows better than anyone else that what Director Ji preached at the Polar Conference was all guided by him in private and derived from Director Ji's own thinking. Those inferences are not far from the facts. Multiple spaces do exist, and the dimensional theory is correct. The earth has been experiencing disasters since last year. It is related to this. I think other worlds that intersect with the earth are also the same.

The occurrence of these messy things is nothing more than a glitch in the operating rules of the high-dimensional universe. High-dimensional beings intervened in the low-dimensional universe for the purpose of saving themselves, which led to changes in the operating rules of the low-dimensional universe, ultimately leading to the current situation.

Xiao Han was not reborn, nor did he travel through time. The reason why he knew this was because he got a small pocket sword more than half a year ago. It was only finger-long and was not even a toy. It was not exquisite enough to be used as a keychain.

Just such a small thing makes Xiao Han have constant dreams every day. Regardless of the content, he really doesn't want to look back. It was obviously a nightmare, but it had little impact on Xiao Han. He was like a spectator. A dream was just a clip from a movie. It might have left a deep impression when you first watched it, but then gradually faded away, leaving little in your heart. trace.

Xiao Han is an astronomy researcher. He is not very obsessed with science, but he is not a superstitious person. At first, he dismissed these things and just thought it was a nightmare, until the meteorite incident happened. If it was just an ordinary meteor shower that had a beginning and an end, he wouldn't think anything of it. However, this meteor shower came and went without a trace. It was very similar to one of the scenes in the dream. The explanation in the dream was that other worlds affected our own world.

In other words, these meteorites that suddenly appeared are not actually from the world where the earth is located. They come from another world. They came across space through the most intense moment of the intersection of the two worlds, and then returned to their places when they moved away. Only Meteorites that fall on the earth are left behind forever.

Meteors fall from the sky inexplicably on this side of the earth, and the other world may not be much better than this side of the earth.

The subsequent experiences of the earth have time and again confirmed the correctness of the conclusions in Xiao Han's dream. He no longer has any doubts about it. Although the dream is not reality and is more like the past experience of the owner of the little sword, it is different from the current experience of the earth. They are similar in that they both have intersections between different worlds, leading to disasters one after another. The only difference is the specific disaster event.

According to Xiao Han's speculation, this probably means that a new round of catastrophe has begun again.

Xiaojian did not give Xiao Han the ability to predict, but after knowing this, he relied on foresight to collect information from all parties, pick out the part he wanted and analyze it carefully, and finally, when the earth will appear and the second or more When the two worlds meet, choose Xingyuan City to settle down.

As expected by Xiao Han, within two days of his arrival with Zhang Nan and Director Ji, he was greeted by severe cold and darkness, which was very consistent with two of the worlds in the dream. In addition to the world that caused the high temperature weather before, at least three Every world can find its corresponding world in dreams.

Xiao Han is certain that the original owner of the small sword should be in the same dimensional universe as him. As for whether it is the same world, it is unknown. It is possible that the small sword was left to the earth from other worlds, or it may be a native product of the earth. . It's not important. Xiao Han didn't delve too much into it. He didn't want to waste energy on irrelevant things, as long as he was sure that the dream was credible.

The most important thing right now is to survive the potentially long cold and dark night. I hope his analysis is correct and he has chosen the right place. Otherwise, even if he knows more ways to deal with it than others, he will not be much better than others.

"Xiao Han, how about we go to the room next to us to warm up?" Zhang Nan couldn't bear the cold. The temperature of the brazier was not enough to dispel the chill on his body. The more he heated the fire, the colder he got. Now his legs were already cold. He really wanted to He put his feet directly on the brazier, but unfortunately Xiao Han didn't allow it.

"It will be good for your health to hold on for a while longer." Xiao Han remained unmoved.

"How can Director Ji get preferential treatment?" Zhang Nan had a problem.

"Director Ji is middle-aged and his health is not as good as ours. Otherwise, I would like him to stay with us." Xiao Han explained.

Despite this, Director Ji stayed until he couldn't bear it anymore before returning to his room. Zhang Nan was not good enough and someone had to keep an eye on him, otherwise the custody would be a perfunctory one.

Settle into your old home.

That afternoon, as soon as An Yan had lunch, at the request of Chen Hua and others, he took everyone except Dong Peng to practice martial arts in the main room.

Although the temperature here is not high, it is still indoors and there is no biting cold wind. It is still warmer than outside. It is good for practicing martial arts and strengthening the body.

However, considering that Zhou Junting was afraid of the cold, and that Assistant Chen and Jiang Tao were in ordinary health, An Yan took them to do a set of Baguazhang and that was done. He asked them to go back to their rooms to figure out the rest and continue tomorrow.

As soon as An Yan was in good health, he continued to practice boxing. Chen Hua's three bodyguards also stayed behind, observing and gesticulating beside him. They left one after another until their bodies could no longer withstand the cold attack.

An Yanyi fought harder and harder. He didn't notice anything unusual at first. After practicing half of the martial arts he knew, waves of warmth surged through his body, gradually dispelling the chill. He couldn't help but froze, and moved his hands. The heat that rose up in the body instantly receded like a tide.

An Yan calmed down and continued to complete the set of punches. The warm feeling did not appear again. He did not stop and continued with the next set of punches. This time, the heat flowed from the Dantian again and flowed to the limbs and bones.

When An Yan performed the famous boxing techniques one by one, a thin layer of sweat started to form on his forehead. He hurried back to his room, washed his body with hot water, put on another set of clothes, and then began to think about the reason.

An Yan has been practicing the punches he just played for nearly twenty years, and he knows exactly what their effects are. It's nothing to say that your body will sweat after practicing for a long time, but it depends on the occasion. It's a bit strange for the main room to reach this level when it's minus 10 to 20 degrees without any heating measures and it's even colder than normal. . If he can sweat just by exercising, then he won't get colder as he walks in the snow.

This was nothing. What An Yanyi cared about the most was the warm current that surged out of his Dantian during boxing, which was very similar to the legendary internal force.

"Jun Ting, come down and I'll teach you how to box." An Yan waved to Zhou Junting who was sitting on the kang.

"Didn't you just beat me?"

"I have an idea that

I want to put into practice." "Then I will become a guinea pig?"

"What, you don't want to be?" An Yan smiled at him and looked at him leisurely.

Zhou Junting didn't reply, but showed it with actions. He pulled his legs out of the quilt in a few moments, put on his pants and shoes, went to the ground, and stood behind An Yanyi.

An Yanyi majored in Tai Chi and Bagua. Previously, he considered that Tai Chi movements were too soothing and good for strengthening the body. However, they were not effective in heating up the body, so he chose Bagua. This time, it was the same, but the movements were slower than before, and all the movements were combined. The moves are explained separately. Zhou Junting teaches Zhou Junting one move and then demonstrates the next move.

Zhou Junting learned it well, and it was quite comfortable when viewed separately, but together it almost made An Yan laugh out loud. The joints were too stiff, not natural at all, and had no sense of beauty at all.

"Lean forward here, raise your hands, raise your chest and tuck in your abdomen here..." An Yan stepped forward to correct Zhou Junting's posture one by one. He himself had no strange thoughts at all, but Zhou Junting, who was touched repeatedly by him, was a little distracted.

Even when Zhou Junting was concentrating, he couldn't punch well. His mind was not at the right time, and he made many mistakes.

An Yan quickly noticed that something was wrong with Zhou Junting's condition. After a closer look, he discovered that Zhou Junting's limbs were stiff and his hands trembled slightly when he touched him.

"Okay, that's it for today." An Yan pretended not to know and ended the boxing teaching naturally, "How do you feel?"

"I don't feel anything." Zhou Junting cursed in his heart, I have feelings for you, but it's a pity that you dare not accept it. trick.

"Then continue tomorrow. You take a rest first, and I'll go next door to take them." An Yanyi deserted shamefully. The two of them are together, this kind of thing is inevitable, but he can't kick out this final kick. He will wait for him to calm down.

Zhou Junting had no scruples and just watched An Yan go out until the door was closed, and then he stared at the door in a daze. If the mountain doesn't come, I will do it. If I go, I will do it. Zhou Junting is not a passive person. He decided to find a good opportunity to take the initiative.

Just when is the right time? Zhou Junting had to think carefully about this. He didn't want to turn a good thing into a bad thing.

There was a kang burning in the room, and even though it was not as warm as the heater, the temperature was much higher than that in the main room. Chen Hua and others were not as uncomfortable as they were in the main room when they practiced boxing. Until An Yan finished teaching a set of Baguazhang, no one felt any pain. Keep quitting.

Naturally, learning martial arts is not that simple. Even Zhou Junting and Chen Hua can follow An Yan to knock down a set of Baguazhang. However, no one can guarantee that after one night, they will still be able to remember a few moves tomorrow. Even if you have good physical coordination and good memory, you still have to practice for a while before you can get some of An Yan's essence. If you want to learn well, you must practice diligently, otherwise you will just be a showman.

This was the case before, but now that there is suspected internal force, it is even more impossible to solve it overnight.
