When Ling Ping'an woke up, it was almost ten o'clock.
"How did I sleep until now?" He expressed his confusion.
He sat up and picked up his phone. He thought about it on the sofa. It seemed that he had a lot of dreams after getting drunk last night!
But he had forgotten most of them.
He only vaguely remembered that he seemed to have heard some sounds similar to those made by celestial bodies.
Other than that, he didn't remember anything else.
But...
"Why am I so tired..." he scratched his head. "Looks like I really can't drink in the future..."
When he was drunk, it was easy for such a situation to occur, which seriously affected the quality of his sleep!
He stood up and wrapped the mushrooms that he had forgotten to put in the refrigerator last night with plastic wrap. Then, he put them in the refrigerator's freezer.
Then, he went to the bathroom to take a shower and changed into a new set of clothes.
Standing in front of the mirror, Ling Ping'an looked at his appearance.
There seemed to be dark circles under his eyes, and he looked a little haggard.
There was even a faint beard growing on his lips.
The young bookstore owner was scared out of his wits.
"No! No! "He said," I have to pay attention to my health! "
He was only twenty-four years old, and he didn't want to have a stubble like an uncle.
Thus, he picked up the razor and shaved off all the beards.
Looking at the mirror again, he felt much more comfortable.
"I'm still the same young man from the past..." humming a tune that he heard from somewhere, Ling Ping'an walked down the stairs. "I haven't changed at all..."
Halfway down, he stopped.
"This song is not bad!" He said, "What song is it?!"
But he couldn't think of what song it was even if he racked his brains!
He didn't know where he had heard it before.
He only knew this one sentence.
It was as if such a lyric and such a tune suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Maybe I heard it in that Internet cafe or supermarket when I was in school?" He thought, so he didn't take it to heart.
This was because everyone had experienced something similar.
Suddenly seeing a certain building or suddenly seeing a certain TV, he felt that it was familiar and felt that he had been here/seen it before, but he just forgot about it.
He walked to the door of the shop and pulled up the shutter door.
The sun was shining outside, and the sky was high and the air was cool!
Most importantly, today's Jiangcheng City was a little cooler than yesterday!
Even standing under the sun, Ling Ping'an didn't feel hot.
"The climate of Jiangcheng City has actually become so suitable?" Ling Ping'an was shocked!
"Yeah!" Aunt Cai, who lived next door, also said, "Today's weather is really the coolest summer in Jiangcheng City in the past twenty years!"
Ling Ping'an carried the steamed dumplings and tofu pudding back to the shop and sat at the counter.
He turned on the television and saw the host sitting in front of him with a serious look on his face.
The background of the studio was replaced with a global weather cloud map.
"In just a few hours, the global climate has changed drastically!" The host introduced in a serious tone, "The average temperature in the Arctic region has dropped by more than 10 degrees in five hours!"
"The temperature near the North Pole has dropped by more than twenty degrees!"
"Experts estimate that tonight, the temperature at the North Pole may drop to the lowest point of summer in history!"
"At the same time, a large area of snow began to fall!"
On the TV screen, a scene of heavy snow swirling in the Arctic appeared.
Ling Ping'an even forgot to eat the steamed dumplings in his mouth.
The North Pole … Summer … Snow?
What the f * ck … What the hell!
His common sense told him that in the summer, the North Pole was the eternal sun.
The sun would not set and would continue to shine its energy on the North Pole.
This was also why the glaciers in the North Pole melted in the summer!
Now it was all right!
A drop in temperature and a blizzard …
There were only four words in Ling Ping'an's mind: Ecological disaster!
The reason was very simple. In the summer, the North Pole was the breeding ground and hunting ground for countless birds and marine creatures!
Once this drop in temperature and blizzard came, a large number of chicks would probably freeze to death or starve to death.
Thinking of this, Ling Ping'an sighed, "Humans! It's really... "
In his opinion, this must be a series of ecological disasters caused by human industrial activities.
On the TV, the host continued to introduce, "At the same time, the temperature of the Kunlun Desert in Kunlun State has risen to its highest point in history!"
"The highest temperature has exceeded 68 degrees!"
"Scientists predict that the average temperature of the Kunlun Desert today may reach 43 to 45 degrees..."
"Many desert creatures unique to the Kunlun Desert are facing a disaster!"
"..." he continued to introduce the climate change in other parts of the world.
Of course, it was not all bad news.
Xinping County of Beizhou, which had been rainy for two consecutive months, finally cleared up.
The tornado disaster that had been wreaking havoc in Nanzhou for several days had stopped.
The South Kunlun Republic, which had been dry for three months, finally welcomed the first heavy rain since the beginning of summer.
The metropolitan territory of the Federal Empire could only be described as having good weather and everything going smoothly.
It was raining where it was supposed to rain.
The sun was shining where it was supposed to shine.
But...
The host's expression did not change at all.
He still said seriously to the audience in front of the TV, "The global climate change this time..."
"It's a chain reaction caused by the increasing carbon dioxide emissions of humans!"
"We shouldn't only see the benefits of this round of climate change. At the same time, we should also see the deep-seated natural disasters hidden in this round of abnormal climate change!"
"Audience!"
"We should pay attention to the 'Imperial Capital Climate Protocol' signed ten years ago!"
"All countries in the world should work together to reduce carbon emissions!"
"Today in the Arctic and the Kunlun Desert may be the tomorrow of us humans!"
On the screen, the Arctic land appeared with heavy snow. On the cliff, countless birds were shivering and dying one by one in the wind and snow.
In the heavy snow, countless chicks died in their nests.
Then, the Kunlun Desert appeared under the high temperature.
Under the high temperature, the sand was roasted red.
The corpses of the desert lizard and desert rat could be seen clearly under the camera!
Ling Ping'an watched and couldn't bear to watch anymore. He turned off the television.
"Sigh..." he sighed as he ate the steamed dumplings.
For the sake of humans and the ecological environment, Ling Ping'an decided not to turn on the television or the fan today.
Hmm!
This was the limit he could do.
… …
Imperial Capital, Blackguard headquarters.
Li Shouyi walked into the office building that was already fully guarded.
The people coming and going were in a hurry with solemn expressions.
All the facilities had already lit up the red light.
This meant that the situation was already very critical, and all the Blackguard had entered a state of emergency.
"The temperature of the Arctic is still dropping!" Zhang Hui greeted Li Shouyi and introduced the situation, "The temperature of the Arctic may drop by ten degrees today!"
"The average temperature will drop by ten degrees in a day!"
"This is not just an ecological disaster!"
Li Shouyi nodded.
Indeed!
In an ordinary area, it was already an extraordinary thing for the average temperature to drop by two or three degrees a day.
In a place like the Arctic, it would drop by ten degrees in a day!
Even a fool would know that there was a problem!
"In addition, the temperature in many desert areas, including the Kunlun Desert, continues to soar!" Zhang Hui said worriedly, "I suspect that this is the doing of an ancient god who has quietly awakened!"
Li Shouyi nodded with a solemn expression, "That's possible!"
As the recovery of the spirit aura intensified, the footsteps of the ancient gods returning became more and more frequent.
Most of them could only awaken a little consciousness now.
But...
There were always some special existences that could return early!
For example, wasn't there one in Jiangcheng City?
Fortunately, the one in Jiangcheng City was generally kind to humans and had ties with humans.
But what about the others?
If an ancient god or even an evil god who was unfriendly to humans returned!
For example, those tyrannical fellows in the Land of Qin!
They loved to send floods at every turn to let humans feel love...
They loved to destroy the world at every turn...
They loved to hold tridents and set off tsunamis just to let humans send him a beautiful woman...
And they loved to eat their sons...
If they woke up and found that the current world did not seem to be what they wanted.
They were capable of anything!
The only good news was that even if they returned, the current Federal Empire had a way to check and balance them!
At most, they could ask the one in Jiangcheng City to do it.
But...
If that was the case, humans would become a species that trembled under the balance of terror.
It was precisely because of this that Li Shouyi had been in seclusion since he returned from Jiangcheng City.
He was trying his best to digest the gains from the last meal.
If it wasn't for the sudden change in the Arctic climate this time, he had no choice but to come out of seclusion. Otherwise, he would have continued to seclusion until he completely digested it!
Following Zhang Hui, he walked into the Blackguard's main control center that was already on full alert.
Satellites had been urgently transferred to various important areas.
Data was being collected.
In the sky above the Arctic, the Federal Empire even sent out strategic bombers carrying psionic energy collectors and began to collect psionic energy substances in the atmosphere.
"When will the results be out?" Li Shouyi asked.
"About half an hour or so!" A staff member replied after saluting.
"Okay!" Li Shouyi sat down.
Zhang Hui sat next to him.
"The matter in Nanyang has been resolved..." Zhang Hui reported, "From yesterday to today, the entire Nanyang has walked out of the tide-defying phenomenon..."
"Okay!" Li Shouyi nodded. "Looks like that Captain Li is really a koi!"
He smiled and said, "Maybe we can meet more in the future!"
Zhang Hui nodded in understanding.
With a trump card in hand, of course, he had to use it.
However, he had to be skillful.
The two of them sat and communicated.
About twenty minutes later, the first report came out.
The psionic energy reaction in the Arctic was normal.
No human interference was found.
Holding this report, Li Shouyi frowned.
Then, a new report came out. The weather satellite showed that from tomorrow onwards, the temperature in the Arctic would gradually rise.
Then, the reports from other places came out one after another.
All the data showed that there was no abnormality.
Moreover, the weather satellite and the local weather forecast showed a common trend. In the next three days, the weather in the abnormal areas would return to normal levels.
So...
Was this a joke played by God on humans?
Li Shouyi held these reports, and his expression became even more serious.
"Be on guard at all times!" He said, "Don't relax!"
"Yes!"
"Looks like..." he looked at Zhang Hui. "A storm is brewing!"
Zhang Hui nodded.
Li Shouyi and Zhang Hui both understood that this was probably just a test by the ancient god who might be hiding somewhere and manipulating all of this.
That was because all the evidence seemed to be fine on the surface.
But in reality, it just revealed the problem!
Behind the seemingly unman-made traces was where the man-made traces were the most obvious!
