Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 7 Attack on the villa area!

Two minutes after Asao and Chengcheng ate the tomatoes.

"Fuck, it's hot. It's really hot."

Ah Sao exclaimed at the side, and Cheng Cheng followed closely behind.

Li Mu stood aside leisurely, his arms folded across his chest, looking at them jokingly, and said provocatively:

"Do you believe me now?"

"I believe it, I believe it. Now if you say you are Qin Shi Huang, we will believe it!"

Cheng Cheng ignored Ah Sao who was going crazy and asked Li Mu:

"Where did this tomato come from? I've never heard of this kind of tomato in the world.
After eating it, it felt like I had drunk a pound of strong liquor, and my whole body felt hot. "

"Well, I can't reveal it now. Anyway, our most urgent task now is to move. When we move to the villa area, I will naturally tell you the origin of this tomato."

Li Mu smiled mysteriously.

"There are a total of thirty-six tomatoes here. We can divide them equally. Each tomato can keep warm for half an hour. I believe that as long as nothing special happens, six hours will be enough for us to reach the villa area."

Li Mu did not choose to explain to the two at this time. He understood the preciousness of time and they needed to leave immediately.

"Prepare to freeze your hands, prepare to take action!"

When the moment of moving really came, Ah Sao seemed very excited, with a foxy look on his face.

"Then let's set off immediately. We only need to bring the necessary supplies and can leave everything else behind. I've seen that place online before. It has abundant resources and we can find everything we need."

Li Mu took action immediately, picked up the backpack full of food, dragged the sled, and opened the door.

The process of going downstairs was not smooth. After all, the sled they used was converted from a computer desk and was quite large.

The three of them, carrying backpacks and a bag of rice in their hands, took more than ten minutes to reach the second floor.

They resolutely gave up their quilts and most of their clothes and shoes, and each person only carried a set of replacement shoes and clothes.

The remaining pork, canned food and other food were properly packed in backpacks.

Li Mu did not bring potted plants such as lily of the valley and cactus, but selected seeds or leaves for picking.

In his backpack, only two Changbai Mountain ginseng seedlings were intact.

He firmly believed that ginseng, a precious medicinal material, would produce amazing therapeutic effects once it was catalyzed by him.

The snow in front of me is endless and pure white, as if I were in the ice and snow of the Arctic.

Asao looked at the beautiful scenery with emotion. He had never set foot in the Arctic in his life.

"Put on your sunglasses quickly, otherwise you will easily suffer from snow blindness if you stare at the snow for a long time." Li Mu on the side reminded.

Ah Sao responded: "The environment here is quite similar to the Arctic I saw in documentaries, except there are no polar bears. But who knows? Maybe one day the polar bears in the polar park will run out, that would be interesting."

Cheng Cheng laughed aside.

"Don't be such a pessimist. There really is a polar ocean park nearby. If we encounter a polar bear on the road, we will just have to wait for death!"

Li Mu said angrily.

"Who knows, what if Cheng Cheng slides over and kills it?"

Ah Sao made faces and teased at the side.

The jokes of the three people made the atmosphere suddenly more relaxed, and the pressure of moving seemed to be relieved a lot.

But what is coming will eventually come. The three of them worked together to smash the window on the second floor with the table legs and finally succeeded in breaking into the icy and snowy outside world!

They first placed the sled on the snow, then stood on it and pressed hard, but the ground did not collapse.

After confirming that the snow outside was enough to support their weight, the three began to place various supplies on the sled and secure them firmly. Li Mu once again solemnly reminded them: "Once you feel the heat in your body decreasing, eat a tomato immediately. Don't forget that if you get hypothermic, the outside temperature will kill you in half an hour!"

Cheng Cheng and Asao both made OK gestures to show that they understood.

So the three of them immediately began to use the table legs in their hands to paddle hard towards the south.

Li Mu felt wonderful to go skiing again after many years.

Surprisingly, skiing was not as difficult as I had imagined.

Because the table top was very smooth, he only needed to push the legs back with a little force, and the sled would carry him forward.

Cheng Cheng and Asao's situations were similar and went very smoothly.

At the beginning, the three people didn't dare to slide too fast for fear of danger.

However, after half an hour, they finally couldn't stand such a slow speed anymore and began to let go, skating faster and faster. The speed was comparable to riding a shared bike at ordinary times!

On the way, they passed many neighborhoods, most of which were very peaceful.

But occasionally, they could see vague figures in the windows of tall buildings, as if watching them.

Perhaps these people cannot understand why they should go out in such bad weather conditions instead of staying at home.

Regarding those who are content with the status quo, Li Mu thought of a sentence by Mr. Lu Xun:

"Either explode in silence or die in silence!"

If they do not seek change now, only death awaits them.

The three of them stopped and walked as they walked, and from time to time stopped to observe the taller buildings around them to ensure that they were heading in the correct direction.

In this way, after an hour and a half, they finally saw the main peak of Longmen Mountain, which meant that they were no longer far from their destination!
Despite the warmth of tomatoes, physical strength is ultimately limited.

Now that the destination was not far away, the three decided to stop and rest for a while.

After more than an hour of sliding, their arms were sore.

"The last bit of road, I hope we can arrive safely."

Li Mu stretched his muscles to relieve the pain, brushed off the snow on his body, and prayed silently in his heart.

After resting for about ten minutes, the three of them set out on their journey again, sliding towards the Longmen Mountain in front of them.

After swallowing the fifth tomato, the three finally arrived at the foot of Longmen Mountain.

Perhaps because of the protection of the mountains, Li Mu looked around the buildings and found that the snow here was slightly shallow.

His goal was a villa near the mountainside. He had been deeply impressed by this place when he visited West Lake before, but the high cost of accommodation always held him back.

Jumping off the sled, the three began to drag the sled up the slope with difficulty.

People often say that climbing up a mountain is easier than going down, but on this snowy ground, climbing up the mountain is far more difficult than going down.

They dragged the heavy sled and moved unsteadily, occasionally having to rely on bare trees to climb up.

Their breathing gradually became rapid, and the sweat on their faces mixed with snow water, flowing down and melting some of the snow.

"We have to find a place to rest. We can't hold on like this." Ah Sao said, panting.

"There's a small forest ahead. Let's go there and take a rest."

Li Mu pointed to a small forest in front and said.

The three dragged the sled and walked towards the grove with difficulty. When they arrived at the grove, they immediately found a big tree, sat down against the trunk, and gasped for breath.
