Day by day in the infinite game
278. The struggle for natural existence
In the cold snowy weather, the silent warmth between the two seemed to dilute the biting coldness.
Some players glanced at each other with smiles in their eyes.
After eating and taking a short rest, everyone set off and continued on their way.
I thought that even if the bad weather made the search more difficult, it would take at most two days to find my "wandering" brother.
No one expected that this trip would take seven whole days.
…
The weather in Antarctica is not as cold and harsh as people say.
The 24-hour punishment time has passed, and the sky is still covered with snow and the cold wind is raging.
The three Lao Tian people and the penguin family stayed in place, eagerly awaiting the safe return of the "mainstays" who went out to hunt for food.
In the cold sea far away, a fierce and cruel one-sided fight for survival is taking place.
Many predator seals, the penguin's natural enemies, lurking in the shadows under the ice floes, rushed over from their hiding places after the penguins went to the sea to hunt for food. Several unprepared penguins soon became their meals.
Upon seeing this, the remaining penguins quickly fled in all directions, not forgetting to swallow the food that came to their mouths during their escape.
Even though this is a cruel choice of life or death, the "family members" who are still waiting for them to return with food are obviously extremely important.
After a fierce chase, when the surviving penguins finally returned to the ice safely in a state of panic, the original team had shrunk by nearly half.
Even though they have been exposed to the cruel natural competition for survival since childhood, the death of their companions still makes them moan uncontrollably.
When the sea calmed down and there was no more movement, they finally gathered their spirits and braved the wind and snow to embark on their return journey.
When Lao Tian and the penguin family finally brought them back, they faced the fierce competition for survival in the natural environment, and the three of them felt very uncomfortable.
In order to escape, the surviving penguins brought back limited food. After giving priority to the young ones who were waiting to be fed, the remaining female penguins were stuffed between their teeth and their bellies were not even filled.
Naturally, three grown men do not need to share the food brought back by the little animals after all the hard work.
The male penguins, who had lost many companions during the trip and were still hungry, took a short rest and planned to continue looking for food.
The Antarctic cold season has begun.
If the weather is too cold, it will get colder day by day. They need to eat enough food and store thick fat to withstand the cold.
This time, Lao Tian wanted to go with them.
Firstly, he wanted to lend a hand, but he really couldn't bear to see them continue to deteriorate; secondly, he also wanted to explore the road and stock up on some fresh food.
It is said that Antarctic krill is a good thing with high nutritional value, wide distribution and large quantity. He wants to give his brothers a taste of it.
Well, of course, the actual starting point was that he was a little greedy...
The other two male players were hesitant about this proposal. When Lao Tian saw this, he advised: "You two just stay here and follow them. Maybe our brothers will find them soon. I will go with them."
After that, he patted the two of them on the shoulders, turned around and strode to follow the Penguin Team who set off again.
Perhaps it was because there was a "chosen penguin" in the family, and they had brief contact with each other for most of the day. This group of emperor penguins is very tolerant of humans like them, and they can also understand some simple body language.
They turned around and saw Lao Tian following them. They flapped their short wings and continued on their way against the wind.
If you follow the penguins, you can see their innocent walking posture more intuitively.
No matter how strong or cold the cold wind was, it couldn't stop Lao Tian from opening his mouth more and more as he watched.
Well, what a bunch of cute little things.
I don’t know how his little boy is doing. We haven’t seen each other for such a long time, so don’t forget about him carelessly...
…
The Emperor Penguin moved forward with difficulty, raising his head from time to time to adjust the direction.
Not far behind it, followed by a big fat goose that almost blended into the environment.
At first glance from a distance, it looks like a floral cotton-padded jacket floating strangely in the air.
I don’t know where the stupid man who shoveled shit for it is, or whether it’s in good condition.
Really, without it, how could that stupid man take care of himself?
Suddenly I felt a little regretful. If I had known that I was going to face this snowstorm and this "separation", I would not have refused to give my stupid man an early end to his punishment time because of his tough words.
Just as he was thinking about something, his feet became unsteady and he stumbled, causing the big fat goose to fall on the snow in embarrassment.
The players who caught up behind quickly came over and helped it up.
"Gah." It flapped its wings in graceful thanks.
These humans are all brothers of the shit shoveler. He is lucky to be able to go out to look for that stupid man in such weather without any complaints.
It has to be nice to them on behalf of that stupid man.
Can't be disliked by others.
…
Xiaoqi's physical image is fatter and bigger than before.
At this time, he was lying in Tang Qinqin's arms, looking curiously at the vast white sky and earth in front of him.
This was the first time that he felt what "cold" was, and he was curious about the fact that his body was shivering in the cold wind.
Forgive it for once being a virtual data code. To become a real "life" with a body and a heartbeat, it is not proficient enough to master the basic business of this body.
Seeing that it insisted on nestling in his arms and feeling the cold Antarctic wind, Tang Qinqin had no choice but to let it go.
I just tied a warm red cat cloak around it.
Obsidian doesn't like the cold, and she is lazily crossing her legs in the companion space right now.
The climate in the companion space is always like spring, which is very suitable for the growth of all things, allowing them to be lazy and rotten.
It has string after string of food reserves, so it can sleep all winter without being hungry at all.
Only when Tang Qinqin needed it to provide spider silk, would he get up and "work".
The Meow Team and Paw Team in the companion space produced a lot of cat and dog hair, which were used by Xiao Qi, who was curious about human handicrafts, to practice "claws" and turned into various "meows/
"Wang Felt".
Song Yuanze's cockatiels are also afraid of the cold. They have been hiding in the companion space since they set foot on the Antarctic continent, and they no longer care about continuing to establish their presence in front of Tang Qinqin.
When he was forcibly dragged out, he was shaking like chaff in a sieve, his body was trembling, and he wanted to dive into Song Yuanze's thick cotton-padded jacket.
It made everyone happy.
"How long will this windy weather last? Xiaoqi?"
Tang Qinqin asked.
The cat in his arms looked at the world with a curious face, lazily raising a front paw, and then a plum blossom bloomed.
Tang Qinqin couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
It's so cold that my toes are numb.
There was never a moment when she looked forward to the sun so much and missed it so much...
