Chapter 761: Planet Self-Rescue

o was standing nearby, understood it.But we don't know Miss Ripple, how could she help us for no reason!"So, you're asking us to help"The Rakshasa woman chuckled."It wasn't you guys who said it, we're..."Right now, the temporary housing area is overcrowded. After the ground froze, I saw many families moving back to their previous homes. Several households from our community have already returned."

Li Qian calmly described the situation at their base.

Are there any plans on that side of the country

The ripples asked directly.

"We're still focusing on rescue efforts. After all, this natural disaster isn't just a local issue; it's a global one. We're an inland city at least. Coastal cities have been completely devastated, with bodies everywhere. Rescue efforts are already stretched thin."

Yuan Chongming said helplessly.

"Hey! What on earth is this"

Zhao Jia pursed her lips and said.

I don't know, but I know "the survivor is king!" How are you feeling lately

Liàn Yī didn't want the atmosphere to be so gloomy. People should live with energy and spirit. If they lose their goals, they will become lost and directionless. Everyone had goals before, but now that a natural disaster has struck, it caught everyone off guard. So many people have died, and it's inevitable that everyone would be affected. That's why she spoke up to interrupt the gloomy atmosphere.

"Ripple, what have you discovered"

Zhao Jia curiously asked.

"Don't you guys feel it You're getting more resistant to the cold. Brother Yuan came back late one night recently, when it was almost minus sixty degrees! Back then, if you went out, you'd be frozen solid!"

Liàn Yī asked, "As I spin the whirlwind, do you think there is a sense of balance"

"Well, that's quite something! We were racing back after sunset that day. I was soaked in sweat and didn't feel cold at all."

Zhao Jia said very flatteringly.

"Yes, humans are the most adaptable creatures. We are gradually becoming more resistant to cold, proving that our physical fitness is improving! It's not just humans, animals are the same way."

Ripple smiled and said.

Then, she placed the whirlwind in her arms onto the coffee table for everyone to see.

"I feel the whirlwind is much larger than before, and it's thanks to your nourishment."

Sun Weifeng immediately said.

Ringlets nodded, then grabbed one of the whirlwind's front paws, and said with a smile:

"Hurricane, claws open a flower, light up your nails!"

Fei Feng, after hearing his cat owner's request, stretched out the captured paw forward, then spread its fingers apart, revealing the claws hidden under the pads. The four people watching wanted to laugh but didn't dare. Unfortunately, the next second, they couldn't laugh anymore.

Because the hurricane's nails have turned black and are extremely sharp, gleaming with a cold light, it is clearly a deadly weapon.

Jaya's new find intrigued her, and she reached out to touch it. Suddenly, Feng swiftly "meow"ed, tucking its sharp claws back into its paw pads. It looked up at Lianli and let out a meow, prompting Lianli to release Feng.

"Jaya, the tornado's nails are very sharp. He's afraid of hurting you, not that he doesn't want you to touch him."

Ripple explained.

"Ripple sister, I know, can I play with Windstorm for a while before studying"

Yuan Chongming touched his nose and felt that his young nephew had spoken the wrong way around.

Go!

Ripple nodded, and Jia Yao immediately smiled and went to hug Cyclone. As a result, Cyclone kicked his hind legs and jumped from the coffee table onto the back of the sofa, then walked on all fours into Jia Yao's room. Jia Yao followed clumsily behind.

"The cat scratching post I brought back from the Half Moon Bay, was shredded by its two paws in a whirlwind. It also knows how sharp its nails are, and usually hides them."

Ripple smiled and explained.

Only then did Li Jian, who had been silent all along, speak.

"You mean this disaster wasn't an accident, but rather natural selection, a process of evolution"

"Well, that's my guess. The Blue Star today isn't the same as it was a thousand years ago. Technology is advancing, but pollution is getting worse. Large numbers of species are going extinct, and non-renewable resources are being depleted. The pressure on the planet is increasing. The Blue Star is also a living being, and in order to save itself, these are its coping mechanisms."

Ripples said calmly.

Global pollution is no longer a secret, especially after the dwarf nation discharged nuclear wastewater into the ocean, leading to the death of many marine animals. Some have even mutated in order to survive.

These mutated seafood products are caught and sold to humans for consumption, causing mutations in humans as well. This creates a vicious cycle. It's obvious to anyone but an idiot, yet you can't stop certain countries from engaging in self-destruction, leading to the current situation.

"Survival of the fittest! It applies to both nature and modern society, so I think it's time for Jiayao to prioritize physical exercise. You can't protect him forever."

As everyone was deep in thought, a sudden turn of events came along, shifting the focus to Jia Yao.

Yuan Chongming touched his nose, feeling that the ripples were just waiting for him here!

"I know that in the future, besides cultural classes, physical fitness training also needs to be put on the agenda."

With the dissipating wind gone, several people discussed going to the trading market.

Finally, it was decided that Zhao Jia and Sun Weifeng would stay home to look after things, while everyone else went to the market to have a look. Later, the two of them would switch places with the others.

Jaya knew he could go out too, and he was so happy! He got ready early, putting on his warm cotton clothes and grabbing his own skis. He talked to Xinfeng for a long time, mumbling to himself, and went to bed an hour earlier than usual.

The next day, after a few people were ready, they left Building No. 4.

They were the star residents of the entire Shanshui Huating community. Everything they did attracted everyone's attention, so when they moved out with their whole family, some well-wishers immediately gathered to ask why.

The government set up a barter market at the temporary base, allowing vendors to trade goods for food. If you have anything you don't need, you can take it there to exchange for food.

Li Qian said briefly.

Upon hearing this, some immediately turned around and rushed back to their homes to see what else they could sell.

Some people just want to join the crowd, thinking that there are so many people that they won't be robbed. So they quietly follow behind Ripples and see what happens first.

Li Qian knew that it wasn't easy for everyone to endure three months of the rainy season, so he deliberately slowed down, acting as a guide and leading them in the right direction. They didn't walk too fast, and after three hours they reached the trading market.

Because the sun was out, there were quite a few people at the open-air market. They laid down a piece of ragged cloth on the ground and put all their unwanted items on it. They sold everything from antiques to calligraphy and jade - things that used to be most valuable were actually the least popular. But anything related to food attracted a lot of inquiries and exchanges as soon as it was put out.

The tornado, which was originally nestled in the arms of the ripples, now poked its little head out and looked around curiously at everything.

Jiayao looked around curiously, feeling everything was new and exciting. But he remembered his uncle's words and held onto his hand tightly, following closely behind the adults.

The ripples stopped in front of a stall, her gaze drawn to the books on display. They were all Chinese medicine books, old editions. The man tending the stall had half-white hair and looked to be over fifty years old.

"Girl, do you want medical books I have genuine copies here, rare editions, all good stuff. As long as you like them, just give me whatever you can afford."

The man knew these books couldn't be eaten or drunk, and after displaying them all morning, no one showed any interest. He was starting to feel hopeless, so when he saw Ripples stopping by, he immediately spoke up, afraid she would leave.ides bones, there were only bones. The pungent stench assaulted her sense of smell.At this moment, the whirlwind was pinned down by the giant rat and was about to bite off its head. However, the whir...
