Age of Behemoths

Shen Yifei didn't stop Teddy from getting close to the cubs. As for the issue of infection...he had to admit that he was not a qualified quarantine officer.

Teddy got closer to the two little bears and sniffed them with his nose. One of the little bears was disturbed from sleep and sneezed. The little meaty paw waved past Teddy's nose. Teddy hit a sneeze.Little Xiong and Wangcai next to him were sprayed, and the two little guys were startled and danced.Teddy quickly got out of the way, lying on the side, using its broad back to squeeze the little ones even tighter.

This scene made Shen Yifei heave a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to get up, some weight was placed on his shoulders: "Put on your clothes." Of course it was Qin Jixun.

"En." Shen Yifei put on his clothes obediently, then turned to look at Qin Jixun, "You're fine, aren't you?"

"No." Qin Jixun stood up, looked at Shen Yifei's still worried and suspicious eyes, and simply turned around 360 degrees on the spot, allowing Shen Yifei to see clearly, "Are you all right?"

"En." Shen Yifei didn't stand up, but hugged Qin Jixun's heads in a sitting posture, and his head rested on Qin Jixun's waist, "It's fine." Because Because of the posture, Shen Yifei's voice was muffled.He just acted like a baby for a while, and quickly let go, "Where's Xiao Su?"

The rain should have stopped, but that doesn't mean it's over and the weather is still cold outside.

"Didn't you notice, it's over there." Shen Yifei stretched his neck and searched for a long time, but Qin Jixun didn't find as many with his eyes.It turns out that Xiao Su's current situation should be said to be hugged by a giant wolf. He is small in stature, and the giant wolf has a healthy body and long hair, almost completely burying him.

The big boy seemed exhausted, and Shen Yifei felt guilty looking at it.

"Just let him continue to sleep here." Shen Yifei sighed, "You also sleep for a while, and I'll get some food."

While speaking, the breath expelled from Shen Yifei's mouth was milky white.In the bonfire, the burning flame has returned to its normal state.Shen Yifei threw two more pieces of firewood in and fiddled with them to make the fire burn more vigorously.

There was an elephant honking, and the mammoth mother's big nose swung in again, and there was a large bundle of weeds with ice slag rolled in her nose-but in this age, there are only edible and inedible things, as for what is it? Whatever it is, it doesn't matter.

Shen Yifei walked over, the closer to the entrance of the cave, the lower the temperature.Even though the mammoth mother's huge body blocked more than half of his vision, from this angle, he could partially see the outside situation clearly.

His first feeling was dazzling, there was no snow outside, only ice, the ice near the entrance was almost like a skating rink, and there were still forests in the distance, but those trees were completely covered with a layer of crystal The transparent coat looks a bit like the rime or tree hangings seen on TV in the past.It's beautiful, if it only appears in some areas in some seasons, it's worth stopping and enjoying it, but...

Who knows how much of an area such weather has spread.And judging from the temperature last night, this is definitely not a good view for people to calm down and enjoy.Or to put it more literaryly, no matter how beautiful they are, they all represent danger and death.

"Thank you." Shen Yifei touched Mammoth's nose, and he picked up the weeds on the ground. Holding these grasses in his arms was like holding a bundle of ice, frozen vegetables—not referring to putting them on the ground. The cold storage in the refrigerator is the frozen vegetables that have been "enjoyed" at sub-zero temperatures in the extremely cold weather in the north. Those vegetables will turn into green ooze after the ice melts. Such frozen vegetables It is generally inedible.The weed-like green plants in front of me are probably in the same situation.

However, Shen Yifei felt that it was too extravagant for them to throw away these vegetables.

But after melting, Shen Yifei really felt that it was too difficult to eat that kind of food.

When the wild vegetables were placed on the ground, they made a clicking sound, which was not at all like the sound made when plants collided with fur.The temperature inside the cave is much higher than outside, which makes these "popsicles" begin to soften.

"This is difficult enough." Qin Jixun came over and looked at the pile of things in front of Shen Yifei.

"That's right." Shen Yifei nodded and sighed.

"Otherwise, just use a knife to cut off the roots of these grasses, scrape off the more obvious soil, and then throw the rest directly into the pot to cook. The taste may not be very good, but it should be considered edible."

"Okay." According to Qin Jixun's idea, the two cut off the roots of these vegetables.Pick and choose and scrape off all that can be scraped off.Although the speed of the two of them was fast enough, the speed of the wild vegetables melting was also fast. When they were halfway through, the wild vegetables had already become limp.But fortunately, these wild vegetables did not turn into mud so badly, but still maintained their proper shape, but in terms of feel, if you want to wash them, it is impossible-the vegetables will disappear after washing , all rubbed to pieces.

The two people just soaked the wild vegetables in warm water for a while, and then put them into the pot.

When the wild vegetables are put into the water, there is a smell similar to boiled spinach in the pot within two seconds.Qin Jixun took one and tasted it: "It's a bit bitter, but it's okay."

Shen Yifei, who was a step behind, frowned dissatisfied. Of course, he was not dissatisfied that he was not the first person to taste the delicious food, but that Qin Jixun was the first person to taste the risk with his own tongue.But Qin Jixun had tasted it all, and Shen Yifei could only blame himself for being slow.

The wild vegetables in the pot have a slightly bitter...vegetable taste. If it is really classified as a vegetable, it should not be considered unpalatable.If it's summer, adding some vinegar and some salt to the salad should still be a good side dish - but the temperature is the premise, and the dish must not have been frozen.As soon as the frozen wild vegetables enter the mouth, they become a soft object with a strange taste. I feel like eating raw flour in my mouth. It should be said that it is a food with no taste at all.

But then the two of them were very happy, the taste was considered a P, and it was true that there was one more food.Especially when they face new severe weather again.

The big and small furries started to eat fiercely by their food, but Xiao Su still slept deeply. The furries didn't need anyone to tell them, and their movements were much lighter than usual when eating. Shen Yifei went to shake Xiao Su twice to let He got up to eat, but Xiao Su grunted twice, and continued to sleep to death like a pig.

It seemed that he was exhausted, and Shen Yifei didn't continue to make things difficult for him. Instead, he and Qin Jixun leaned to the side, leaving Xiaosu's portion aside, and each of them started eating with a big bowl.

In the middle of eating, Shen Yifei suddenly said: "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I probably have to go out."

"Go out? Under the current weather conditions, and we don't even know if similar rains will continue." He didn't say no, but Qin Jixun's opinion clearly expressed his rejection unintentionally.

"This time I want to let the mammoth mother go out with her. If it rains again, I can hide under her belly." Compared with human beings, the mammoth mother's figure is like a mobile house. Shen Yifei It is very simple to hide from the rain under its belly. "We must take this opportunity to look outside to see what animals are frozen to death, and what animals are still alive."

There are some words that both people can understand without having to name them all.

Of course, the beast that was frozen to death in the rain yesterday will just become the food of Shen Yifei's big family.And the creatures he wanted to meet, the ones that might survive—living things other than worm corpses, they would both be happy to meet.

"Don't say anything else, it's a better choice for you to leave. I've thought about it carefully. One of us must go out to have a look at this time, and the one who goes out must be me. The reason is also very simple—— I am more cold-tolerant."

The freezing rain last night was a danger, but it was also an opportunity.It's like looking at the world of a kaleidoscope through a small hole. As long as you turn the kaleidoscope, the pattern inside will change, and even the people who make them cannot guess what the pattern will be like out of thin air.

Now the earth seems to have become a big kaleidoscope, and the weather keeps changing.What is crueler than a small toy is that each such change will take away a large number of lives, human, non-human, insect, non-insect.No matter how powerful it is, it can't compete with the power of adults.

And the one who can survive every change is probably not the strongest, or even the smartest, but the one who can best adapt to the changes in the outside world.

Everyone hopes that they are the one who is more adaptable and has a higher chance of survival.But in the face of fate, no one will be the protagonist.

Leaving a safe shelter now is an adventure, but it is even more dangerous not to check the changes in the outside world for the first time.

Qin Jixun was silent, because the facts were in front of him, and he had no choice but to refute.Shen Yifei's cold resistance is not as good as Teddy and Mammoth Mama, but it is definitely much better than Qin Jixun.The most direct evidence is that it was Shen Yifei who recited Qin Jixun all the way out of the passage yesterday, not the other way around.

"If the situation is wrong, come back as soon as possible." Indeed, only one reason is enough, and Qin Jixun couldn't refuse.

Shen Yifei looked at Qin Jixun and leaned over to kiss him, but Qin Jixun turned his head away: "My mouth is full of the smell of vegetables."

"The taste in my mouth is the same as yours, why should I care?" Shen Yifei said that he must be close enough.

Qin Jixun sighed helplessly, stopped dodging, and moved over...
