Rebirth at the end of the world: I report to the country

January 13, 2025, 13:30 pm - nearly half a month has passed since the start of the polar night disaster.

Antarctic continent.

The world was shrouded in pitch-black night, with even the light of the stars and moon stripped away. The only light came from a few spots of light on the ice.

The ice and snow on the ground reflected a faint light, imprinted with a silvery brilliance.

The cold atmosphere circulated silently, and the slightly salty smell of sea water in the air was intertwined with the crisp cold air.

In this moment of extreme silence, the huge breathing sound of a giant white whale can occasionally be heard in the distance, and the tenacious life will shine at any time - the sparse penguin population is still trying to reproduce here, and a few seabirds are confused in the darkness. 's circling.

A French fries was thrown up high, and the seabirds quickly pounced on the food, fighting for it and eating it wholeheartedly.

Their desire for food made them forcibly suppress their fear of humans of strange species. They stopped on the ground next to them, tilted their heads, and looked at the humans in front of them, as if expecting the next wave of food to arrive.

Lin Li, who was in the freezing cold of Blue Star, was dressed like autumn. He squatted down and stretched out his hand to these seabirds. Only one flapping its wings in fear to avoid it, but most of the others did not move and let them go. Lin Li stroked their feathers.

His eyes were staring straight at the box containing French fries on Lin Li's other palm.

"Eat, you guys, come to the dock and order some fries."

Lin Li smiled, took out the fries, and threw them one by one at the group of seabirds, which may be seagulls or albatrosses.

Seeing the same kind eating, the seabird that flew away in fear just now flew back again, stopped in the distance, and tentatively moved forward here step by step.

"You're so thin, you're new here, come here and eat something." Lin Li threw the food in his hand at this seabird, which was a little thinner compared to other seabirds, and the bird immediately started gobbling it up.

"It's a pity that I have to leave. This may be the last human food you can eat." This time, the other person who focused on eating did not refuse Lin Li's touch anymore. Lin Li sighed softly.

"In the era of natural disasters, life is not easy for everyone."

While these seabirds were eating, Lin Li stood up and looked at the group of penguins who were neither close nor far away from the camp. He used a few freshly caught fish to use a power that was almost impossible for ordinary people - the ice type " The increase of "Hope" potion at low temperatures and the increase of "exotic stone" were directly thrown next to the ethnic group.

Faced with this scene that looked a bit like an attack, the penguins were used to it and immediately broke away from huddled together for warmth and rushed up to eat.

After doing all this, Lin Li suddenly laughed: "Yu: Damn it, it's not easy for a penguin to live. Is it easy for me to live?"

"Boom!" There was a slight sound of heavy objects colliding with the ice behind him. Lin Li turned his head. It was the team members who were packing and sorting things.

A lamppost's power cord was disconnected, and a star point on the Antarctic continent went out.

In the polar night, any light is conspicuous and dazzling. The surrounding animals seem to feel all this, and they all look up at the camp.

The Antarctic continent actually has a few months of polar night every year, but facing the extreme darkness of the natural disaster era, the creatures here are not used to it.

After all, during the polar nights in the past, there were stars and moonlight shining at night, but at this moment, even these were completely blocked by the thick clouds.

After the only remaining light disappeared, it had a great impact on their lives. For example, it became more difficult to hunt for food, and there were also problems with their ability to judge their location.

Most animals are phototactic, and the light from Dongguo's "Strange Stone" collection camp became the only light in this darkness, causing the few surviving animals on this continent to subconsciously gather here. With.

After discovering that he could get some food here, he decisively chose to settle nearby. Those seabirds that did not avoid Lin Li's touch were probably cooked by him in the past half month.

Therefore, their body shape is slightly better than that of the newcomer.

In addition to the penguin group, Lin Li has seen several whales in the past half month.

If Lin Li wanted to, he could also hear the low-frequency sounds of whales communicating, but he just couldn't understand or speak them.

In fact, there are still animals that are ignorant, such as the restrained seal a week ago. Although it is also very interested in food, the problem is that it regards Lin Li as food.

As for the result of its attack, Lin Li commented that the seal meat tasted quite good, with a smell similar to beef.

"Captain, we're almost done sorting it out, you can start storing it."

He Pingzhi, who was wearing relatively thick clothes, came to Lin Li's side and said.

"Okay." Lin Li nodded, preparing to lie down on the ice and act as a warehouse with peace of mind.

Now is not the extremely cold weather of the Ice Disaster. At the same time, the number of "Xinhuo" teams is increasing every day. In addition, there are several ready-made scientific research stations in Antarctica. Most of them no longer have their owners and can provide temporary residences. .

Under these preconditions, not only the troops who took the "Hope" potion, but also a large number of regular scientific researchers and troops were sent to the Antarctic continent this time, totaling tens of thousands of people.

These regular troops, led by members of the "Xinhuo" and "Hope" teams, are scattered in the central part of the Antarctic continent and the nearby seas. After performing their duties, they collect "exotic stones".

The Antarctic continent is uninhabited and the surface is icy, making the collection process of "exotic rocks" very smooth. Although this continent will also experience ice earthquakes during earthquakes, the situation is much better.

To date, all plans have been basically completed, and the harvest has been fruitful. The current consumption rate is enough to support Dongguo's needs for a long time in the future - as for scientific research, this is a bottomless pit, and it has never really met the demand.

After completing the task, everyone was ready to recover the available materials and return to the East Kingdom, which is what they have to do now.

When he saw the iron cone that represented the completion of storage appearing in the inner space, Lin Li opened his eyes, stood up and stretched his muscles, looked at the camp that seemed to have been looted by thieves, and asked:

"You didn't leave anything behind, right? Even damaged tools must be taken away to prevent the evolution of alien species."

In Lin Li's memory, when he died, the alien species had only had pure beast instincts from the beginning, to the point where they could use 'tools' like sea otters opening shells. Although Lin Li didn't know whether the Antarctic continent would produce alien species, since it would produce "Strange stones" should be judged as if they will appear.

Therefore, after learning that alien species have the characteristic of 'evolution', all 'tools' that contribute to their evolutionary behavior must not be left behind.

This is the inference drawn by Dongguo.

"Captain, except for the equipment used to monitor and track the Antarctic continent, we have recovered all the other tools and technologies and have not omitted anything." He Pingzhi replied very seriously.

"Okay, that's fine." Lin Li nodded.

It seemed that the Antarctic animals surrounding the camp also sensed that Lin Li was about to leave, and they were all moving closer at this moment.
