Chapter 18 Disaster Strikes
Opening the thick bulletproof window of the safe house, a gust of cool wind blew in instantly.
Lin Mo couldn't help shivering.
In a short time, the temperature dropped by more than 10 degrees.
In the next week, the extremely icy comet will continue to transform the temperature on the surface of the blue planet until it stabilizes at minus 90 degrees Celsius.
At that time, the entire ecosystem of the blue planet will suffer a devastating blow, and only one in a hundred creatures will survive!
"It's so cold, is there anyone else in our community coming to Sheshan to watch the meteors?"
"A gust of wind blew over, and my snot was frozen. I will definitely catch a cold tomorrow!"
"By the way, does anyone have extra clothes? Can you lend me one?"
"Haha, I came here in big shorts, who can understand my family!"
The people in the group were generally very optimistic and thought it was just an ordinary drop in temperature.
Li Mo watched the group chat quietly and did not participate in the discussion.
At this time, if you tell them that this is the end of the world, you may be ridiculed by the crowd, or even sent to a mental hospital.
On social software, people began to share the meteors they had taken.
In the middle of the night, we climbed the mountain so hard just to take photos and post them on WeChat Moments.
Those who didn't see the shooting star liked and commented on the photos.
"Make a wish to get rich!" "Win the lottery first prize!" "Save 10 million soon!"
"Make a wish to pass the exam, please!"
"Wish my brother's house will never collapse!"
It seems that people have a lot of wishes. They start making wishes whenever they get a chance. Even the comment section of WeChat Moments has become a wishing pool.
The neighbor who made the wish on behalf of others sent a private message to Li Mo.
"Boss, when the shooting star appeared just now, I told you your wish."
"Okay, I believe the shooting star has heard it."
Obviously, the shooting star did not intend to fulfill Li Mo's wish.
With good intentions, Li Mo reminded: "The weather forecast says that there will be a strong drop in temperature tonight. I suggest you go down the mountain as soon as possible."
"Okay, my aunt also called me home, and I'm getting ready to leave now!"
For some reason, a cute and innocent girl appeared in Li Mo's mind, her face was red from the cold, and she was holding her mobile phone and sending text messages.
"What are you thinking about? What if it's a big guy who picks his feet?"
Li Mo drove away the thoughts in his mind, lay on the sofa, and started watching today's news.
I want to see how the authorities view this matter and whether they have noticed the signs of the end of the world.
"Today, the comet codenamed Extreme Ice successfully reached the closest position to the Blue Planet. Many citizens saw the meteor with a white tail in the sky."
"In addition, since the temperature of the Extreme Ice Comet is extremely low and there are a lot of ice on it, it may cause a strong drop in temperature, bringing coolness to the hot summer."
"Experts say that this is normal and the temperature will soon return to its original level."
"The temperature will fluctuate greatly recently. Here we remind citizens to take good insulation measures and seek medical treatment in time if they have cold symptoms."
Li Mo stared at the TV screen steadily, leaning back on the sofa.
How could they not notice it?
According to the information on the news, experts believe that the Extreme Ice Comet will continue to move away and the impact on the Blue Planet will be almost negligible.
Li Mo didn't understand, but it didn't matter.
I have made the most thorough preparations, even if the extreme cold comes, I am not afraid at all!
The cold wind outside is getting stronger and stronger, and a layer of white frost condenses on the windows.
Li Mo quickly closed the windows and checked them all again to make sure that all the windows were locked from the inside.
Soon, when the whole world is frozen by extremely low temperatures, this place will be a warm paradise.
We must not let anyone attack us again, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
"Wow, it's snowing outside!"
Someone in the group was surprised, as if they had discovered a new continent.
Li Mo quickly turned his head to look out the window, and saw snowflakes falling from the sky.
After falling to the ground, they quickly turned into water and disappeared.
The overall temperature of the blue planet is being transformed by the extremely cold comet.
"Jinhai City has not snowed for three years. I didn't expect it to snow before autumn this year. It's really weird!"
"There are strange signs in the sky, and something big must happen. I guess the island country may sink!"
"Baga, you say this with ulterior motives!"
It seems that something extraordinary has been mixed into the group, but people don't care, but continue to discuss the abnormal temperature.
Someone said worriedly: "This extremely icy comet is too powerful. It can affect the blue planet from such a long distance. It reminds me of the sun."
Li Mo remembered that this person seemed to be a retired professor from a university.
As soon as the retired professor spoke, someone immediately jumped out to refute: "Tsk, a small comet dares to compete with the sun? I dare to guarantee that the ice on it will melt in a few days."
"According to the information observed by the Aviation Bureau, the ice content on it exceeds the sum of the South Pole and the North Pole, but it is not so easy to melt."
"It's speechless. At this time, there are still people pretending to be experts, but they are actually garbage collectors!"
The retired professor sometimes picks up garbage in the community with a snakeskin bag.
This behavior of his has become a weapon for others to attack verbally.
"Recently, the sea surface has receded on a large scale, and earthquakes have occurred in many places around the world. They are all related to comets. I say these are all based on facts. In addition, I pick up garbage to protect the environment."
"Hehe, it's so funny. I also said that a tornado blew up in the island country because I farted!"
The two people in the group began to quarrel with each other.
The retired professor is very knowledgeable and speaks in an orderly manner with rational analysis.
The other person is sarcastic, but can't say anything substantial, just pure ridicule.
As the atmosphere in the group became more and more tense, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore and began to stand up to smooth things over.
"Don't worry, the experts have said that it will be back to normal soon."
"Don't quarrel, if you have the time, take a photo and post it on WeChat Moments. This is a rare phenomenon and may not happen again in the future."
Soon, no one in the group spoke anymore and fell into silence.
Li Mo didn't speak from beginning to end, just watched coldly.
Don't look at the neighbors dancing happily now, they will soon not even find a place to cry.
After a month of global freezing, only one in ten people in the entire building survived.
The snowflakes in the sky became bigger and bigger, and snow began to accumulate on the ground.
The residents were awakened by the cold, and got up cursing to turn on the air conditioner and add quilts.
In Li Mo's safe house, the temperature was constant at 25 degrees Celsius, and he didn't feel a bit cold.
The next morning, he opened the bedroom curtains.
It was white outside, and the snow was three feet thick, reflecting the dazzling light.
The snow was falling for thousands of miles, and the world was frozen!
