Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 5 Moving Planning
A week has passed since the day we sorted out the supplies.

The snow never stopped and the temperature dropped even lower.

During this week, the three of them braved the cold and worked out in the house. After all, they had decided to move, and without a good physique they would not be able to do so.

Unfortunately, the time was too short, and the three people's bodies, which had been tortured by work for a long time, did not make much progress. The only change was that they were a little more resistant to the cold than before, and their physical strength and endurance were slightly better after exercise.

After this week's consumption, the remaining supplies are:
Four bags of 20kg rice, five pounds of eggs, a box of instant noodles, twenty cans of canned fruit, twenty pieces of solid alcohol, forty candles, a box of compressed biscuits, all the vegetables and fruits were eaten, fifteen pounds of pork, and two and a half barrels of cooking oil.

The dried goods and pickles I brought from my hometown have not been touched yet.

When I was working, because of the busy work, I would just order takeout after get off work and wouldn’t eat much.

During this week, the three of them worked out very hard, which consumed a lot of energy, so they naturally ate a lot, and they cooked all the meals themselves.

Besides looking a little slovenly because there wasn't enough hot water to wash.

Not only did the three of them not lose weight, they all gained a little weight.

“It seems that the end of the world is not all bad. I used to stay up late every day playing with my phone, and I was so exhausted that I could hardly run 800 meters without gasping for breath.

Now I don’t have a cell phone to play with, and I’m exercising. I feel like I’ve returned to high school five years ago!”

Cheng’s real name is Yao Chengcheng. He is 175cm tall and weighs 140kg. The half of his smooth forehead that is exposed represents his profession: a hard-working front-end programmer.

After a week of exercise, his belly has disappeared a little, but I don’t know if his hair can still grow.

"That's right. I feel much better after not having to work for a week.
I almost died of exhaustion carrying all that rice up to the 20th floor before, but now if I move again, I think I can move from the first floor to the 20th floor in one breath without gasping for breath. "

Ah Sao’s real name is Yu Shuaikang. He is 185cm tall but weighs only 130kg, a typical thin dog.

A fake backend programmer because his hair is so thick!

"I sleep after eating every day, and exercise after waking up. With such a regular lifestyle, how can my health be bad?"

Li Mu retorted to the two of them in annoyance, then turned to look at the wind and snow outside. It was still very strong and showed no sign of stopping.

He sighed slightly in his heart. Although the supplies could still hold out for a while, Li Mu always felt that staying here was not a long-term solution. He urgently wanted to find a base suitable for the development of his special abilities.

During this week, Li Mu exercised during the day and tried his special abilities at night. He hid the tomatoes he had grown before and would use them for emergencies when supplies were insufficient in the future.

He had already eaten a few stalks of greens raw as snacks.

During this week's experiment, Li Mu discovered that his ability to ripen plants was gradually increasing.

Whereas ripening tomatoes required a bit of energy in the beginning, now it is effortless.

After being ripened twice by him, the tomato plant withered and lost all vitality after the second ripening.

There were more than 30 fruits in total after two rounds. Li Mu secretly ate two of them at night. Not only did they taste much better than ordinary tomatoes, but the nutrients they contained were also far higher.

More importantly, after eating tomatoes, Li Mu's body would feel warm for about half an hour, and this effect also strengthened Li Mu's determination to move.

He decided to take out the tomatoes and share them with Ah Sao and Cheng Cheng when he moved.
In this way, the most troublesome problem of keeping warm was mostly solved. More than 30 tomatoes were divided into 10 for each of them. It was enough for them to stay warm in the outdoor environment for 5 hours, which was enough time for them to move to their new home.

On the day Binghe arrived, Li Mu had already thought about moving. The first place he thought of was the leisure villa area next to the Lingyin Temple of West Lake.

As a tourist attraction, it is not only sparsely populated but also vast in area, which can reduce a lot of trouble.

The most important thing is that there is a large amount of land available for Li Mu to use, which is the best refuge in Li Mu's mind.

Once there, Li Mu can start his own farming plan and give full play to the Chinese people's innate talent for farming and infrastructure.

Li Mu planned to build a small shelter there to provide a safe living environment for himself and the people around him.

At the same time, they will recruit some survivors to form their own force. Otherwise, if they rely on only the three of them, they will not have much ability to resist if they encounter an organization with evil intentions.

Thinking of this, Li Mu decided to try whether he could use plants to form effective combat power after moving to the villa area.

Just like those wood-type cultivators in novels about cultivating immortals, with a wave of their hands they can create vines, wood thorns, etc.

There are many ideas, but the most important one at the moment is to move to the villa area.

The distance from where they lived to the villa area was about ten kilometers, and before the glacier arrived, it would take about two and a half hours to walk.

But now the environment outside is so harsh, they have to carry a batch of supplies, and now there is no navigation, they can only rely on their memory. By this calculation, the travel time will at least increase by half!
And this is if everything goes well. If there are some unexpected events along the way, such as a sudden strong wind or someone falls down, five hours may not be enough!
Reality is not a TV drama, and they are not the protagonists. They cannot turn danger into safety. If they encounter any major accident, they will be wiped out.

It seems that the moving plan needs to be optimized. It would be best to have a means of transportation that can travel quickly on the snow, such as a snowmobile, but where can they find this thing now?

Li Mu couldn't think of any good idea for the time being, so he decided to ask Asao and Chengcheng for their opinions and pool their wisdom.

The reason why human beings can stand at the top of the world is never because of individual strength, but because of collective wisdom!
"Are you stupid? Have you forgotten about the sled?

Our computer desks are perfect for this, and we can use the legs as sled poles.”

When Li Mu asked for their advice, Cheng Cheng directly gave a solution.

Yes, when it snowed heavily in his hometown when he was a child, Li Mu made a simple sled with wooden boards.

Although it is not as good as the handicrafts in the ski equipment store, it is definitely feasible to use it for transportation. It is much faster than walking there.

Now that the problem of transportation had been solved, Li Mu told the two of them his entire plan.

"We have no objection to moving to the villa near West Lake, but how can we stay warm if it's such a long way?"

Cheng Cheng and Asao had no objection to Li Mu's plan, but they were worried about keeping warm on the way.

"Don't worry about this problem. I have my own solution. The only thing we have to wait for now is for the snow to stop!"

Li Mu still didn't intend to reveal Tomato's secret, he just told the two that he could solve the problem of keeping warm.

Out of trust in him, the two did not ask any further questions. After all, they didn't know when the snow would stop.
