Hours later, Qin Feng returned, dragging the sled and laden with spoils.
"You actually got prey?!"
Sun Haikun and Qian Tong were clearly surprised.
Life and death were on the line.
Though both were exhausted and sleepy, their work didn't stop.
"Qian Tong, help me move the ice!" Qin Feng commanded.
"Captain, why not recruit more people? A team can have at most ten people." Qian Tong panted, exhausted.
Many hands make light work.
Other teams were almost full, but their team only had four members.
Qin Feng ignored him.
Recruit more people?
Just the act of coming to Antarctica would make the team resentful.
If two people rebelled, he was confident he could easily suppress them with his combat skills.
But what if it was a group?
Four hours later.
An ice house with a diameter of over three meters was built.
Then, Qin Feng skinned the seals, separating the fat from the meat.
He used a diesel stove to render the oil.
"Gagaga..." the penguins squawked.
"Captain, are we going to kill and eat the penguins? I can help." Sun Haikun smiled ingratiatingly.
"Dare to touch them, and you die first," Qin Feng said coldly.
"..."
Sun Haikun froze for a moment, then smiled sheepishly.
But!
A hidden, sinister glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Damn it!
I'm a team member, and I'm treated worse than a penguin?
Qin Feng inserted cotton wicks into the liquefied seal oil. After it solidified, he cut it with a knife, making candles.
Finally.
With the last hour remaining, all work was finished.
They moved various supplies into the ice house.
They lit the seal oil candles.
Half an hour later.
"It's really not cold anymore!"
Xiao Ruoruo was surprised.
This guy...
He had instantly killed Li Dajun!
Fought seals!
Built an ice house, fished.
He had done a lot of things that seemed crazy, but one thing was undeniable—he knew a lot.
The temperature inside the ice house continued to rise.
"Captain, it's bad!"
Qian Tong exclaimed, pointing at the inner wall of the ice house: "The ice... is melting!"
An ice house was useful at extremely low temperatures.
It was early summer in Antarctica, and the outside temperature was around minus ten degrees Celsius. As the temperature inside the ice house rose, it would inevitably melt.
"It won't melt."
Qin Feng's attention was on the penguin.
He used the seal skin to block the only entrance to the ice house and untied the rope around the penguin's leg.
"Gagaga..."
The penguin, regaining its freedom, squawked and ran around, trying to escape the ice house.
Unfortunately.
The entrance was blocked, leaving no escape route.
Qin Feng grabbed a handful of krill: "Eat some?"
"Gagaga..."
The penguin continued to squawk.
"If you don't eat, you'll starve," Qin Feng continued to hold out his hand.
"Gagaga..."
The penguin tilted its head and watched him from a corner.
In fact, penguins were not unintelligent; their intelligence was equivalent to that of a three to five-year-old child.
However, having lived in the wild for a long time, their intelligence had not been developed, and they were very afraid of humans.
The penguin still didn't dare to approach.
Qin Feng was helpless.
He threw the krill in front of it.
As expected!
Not as close to Qin Feng, the penguin began to eat the krill.
The other three were silent, but they all had the same thought.
Qin Feng was cold and impatient with them, and had a bad temper. Yet, towards this penguin... he was so friendly and patient.
Humans are inferior to geese!
However, everyone's thoughts differed.
Xiao Ruoruo felt it didn't matter, as long as Qin Feng didn't touch her.
But!
Sun Haikun's resentment continued to build.
Why was my treatment worse than a penguin's?
Qian Tong was simply scared.
He stayed far away from Qin Feng.
【The "The Day After Tomorrow" plot officially begins.】
Suddenly!
A voice appeared in their minds.
Without any sequence, the entire Apocalypse Star changed.
Antarctica.
The temperature plummeted at an astonishing rate.
Not long ago, Qian Tong had said the ice house was melting, but now the temperature outside the ice house dropped drastically.
The outside temperature was too low; the water that had melted from the ice a while ago refroze at a visible speed, forming an icy crust.
Pure white, like frost, rapidly spread across the entire Antarctic.
Seals.
Sea lions.
Penguins.
Various animals leaped into the sea one after another.
No matter how cold-resistant they were, they couldn't withstand the first wave of frost.
A few sea lions that hadn't managed to jump into the sea instantly stiffened, turning into statues.
"So cold..."
Qian Tong shivered uncontrollably.
He was from the south and was not used to the low temperatures.
The temperature inside the ice house dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius. As for outside the ice house...
"Damn it!"
Sun Haikun looked at the real-time temperature on his terminal: "Outside... minus 60 degrees Celsius?!"
"Eat something."
Qin Feng took out a small knife and cut off a piece of seal meat.
He specifically added a small piece of seal fat to the seal meat and roasted it over the candle.
Raw meat?
Xiao Ruoruo's face turned pale: "I... I won't eat it! I have food..."
She still had some snacks from the supermarket in her pocket.
"In extreme cold environments, without a large intake of fat, you could freeze to death at any moment," Qin Feng said calmly.
"I..."
"Whether you eat it or not is up to you."
Sun Haikun and Qian Tong exchanged glances.
Ignoring that the seal meat was raw, they followed Qin Feng's example, took out their small knives, cut off pieces, and roasted them over the candle.
Seeing their knives, Qin Feng's eyes turned cold.
He also had a knife.
But!
His knife was one of the supplies collected in front of everyone.
Those two, however, had stolen them.
Their purpose was self-evident.
...
Temperate zone.
The temperature in all coastal areas dropped significantly.
Fortunately, the temperature had been high before, so the temperature drop wasn't as drastic.
Suddenly!
A wall of water, hundreds of meters high, surged from the sea and crashed down on the entire city.
Various buildings, like paper lanterns in a tsunami, were directly washed away and collapsed.
At the same time, countless tornadoes appeared all over the globe.
...
Inland Africa.
The temperature, which had been as high as forty degrees Celsius, instantly dropped to nearly zero degrees, colder than winter in southern Great Xia.
Fortunately!
All the adventurers were prepared for the cold, and down jackets were standard.
A low temperature of two to three degrees Celsius was not dangerous.
However...
Somewhere in Congo.
The Sakura country adventurer gathering point.
A tornado with a diameter of several kilometers instantly formed.
A team of a hundred adventurers had no chance to escape and were directly swept into the sky.
Wiped out!
【Sakura country completely annihilated.】
【Rule 6: Before the plot ends, once adventurers are completely wiped out, the plot descends upon that country.】
...
Blue Star.
The "The Day After Tomorrow" plot descended upon Sakura country.
Tsunami!
Cold snap!
Tornadoes!
"Daddy, save me!"
Sakura country netizens screamed in a Bai Tou Ying country live broadcast room.
"Daddy doesn't have time," Bai Tou Ying netizens sneered.
Suddenly!
Sakura country live broadcast account instantly had millions of offline users.
--'Oh my god! This... this isn't a game! It's real!'
--'My aunt is traveling in Sakura country and I can't reach her anymore.'
--'As long as they are wiped out on Apocalypse Star, disasters will descend upon the corresponding country. This time... Sakura country is doomed!'
--'Heaven bless Great Xia!'
Many people in the Great Xia live broadcast room immediately lit up fireworks effects.
For a time, cheers erupted like thunder.
...
Antarctic ice house.
The seal skin blocked the only entrance.
Doing so would inevitably lead to oxygen deprivation.
But if they didn't block it...
The cold snap would rush in!
"Captain, I... I'm having trouble breathing." Qian Tong's lips turned purple.
Qin Feng casually opened an oxygen tank.
Only now did everyone understand the purpose of his preparing oxygen tanks.
"The initial stage of the cold snap has strong winds."
Qin Feng distributed the oxygen tanks to everyone: "We can only open the entrance when the wind subsides."
"Captain, I..."
Suddenly!
Xiao Ruoruo's face turned red.
She wanted to say something but dared not.
Qin Feng got up.
He took off his outer shell jacket and, holding the two corners of his jacket, spread it out behind him, shielding Xiao Ruoruo in a corner: "It's okay now."
Xiao Ruoruo was stunned.
"I'm with my back to you, so you can't see," Qin Feng said calmly.
"Oh..."
She also knew this was the only way.
Going out to urinate at this moment would definitely freeze her into a sculpture, a sure death.
She cautiously unbuttoned her pants, her eyes fixed on Qin Feng the entire time, for fear that he might suddenly turn around.
Soon.
The sound of flowing water could be heard.
