In the past few days, everyone had not gone out, hiding in the base to reduce energy consumption. But for the sake of safety, Yue Xingwen still recommended that everyone make more warm clothes.
Liu Zhaoqing had thoroughly dissected the first hunted cave bears, washed the fur with clean water, and then distilled and dried, and made some simple bear skin coats out. However, a bear’s fur was not enough for 12 people. On the sixth day, everyone repeated the same trick, discussing to hunt and kill two cave bears to make clothes, but they saw a shocking scene——
Near the cave where the cave bear was first discovered, a group of lions and the cave bear fought over territory.
Qin Lu said excitedly, “This is a cave lion millions of years ago, who likes to live in caves, and its size is twice as large as the lions we see today!”
The roar of the lion and the roar of the cave bear almost shattered their eardrums.
Everyone hid nearby to watch the scene for a while. Yue Xingwen typed on the chat channel: “The live version of the animal world. The ancient giant beast fights in groups, reporter Ke, you hurry up and take pictures ah.”
Ke Shaobin said, “Yes, team leader!”
He had already summoned Xiao Tu and turned on the video system to film this precious scene. So that even if they returned to the library, they could watch the video and reminisce about the bizarre insights of the Faculty of Geography.
The battle between the cave bear and the giant lion was fierce, and both were defeated.
In the end, the more agile lions won the battle for territory in the animal world, driving the cave bears out of their lair, and the cave bears left the place unwillingly.
After watching the play, everyone picked up the corpses of several lions and went back.
Liu Zhaoqing skillfully rolled up his sleeves and began to dissect the lion, while also laughing at himself, “I have changed from a surgeon to a veterinarian.”
Ke Shaobin touched the lion’s mane and said with a smile, “I never dreamed that one day I could wear clothes made of lion’s mane and eat lion meat.”
Everyone: “……”
Who would have thought that? Their experience was enough to brag about for more than ten years.
Unfortunately, after the lion meat was roasted, it was as unpalatable as the bear meat. Everyone had mixed feelings to change the taste and continue to eat the green vine of Lin Manluo to help digestion, and so another day had passed.
Ke Shaobin sat on the wooden stool, rubbed his belly and said, “There are still 3 days left to finish the exam. The first thing I will do when I return to the library is to go to the supermarket and buy a pack of instant noodles to eat.”
Yue Xingwen looked at the lion meat cut into strips by Liu Zhaoqing and said, “In three days, the food we have in stock will definitely be enough to eat. Then, it’s better to be steady, don’t go out, stay here and wait for the exam to end.”
Liu Zhaoqing agreed. “That’s right. Today we were lucky, going out and meeting lions and bears fighting for territory. We just sat on the side to get profit and picked up some corpses. If this pack of lions attacks us tomorrow, it will be troublesome.”

Yue Xingwen also asked for a piece of fur over, and sat next to the group to learn to sew clothes. After sewing one, he tried it on and found that the style was too strange, and the clothes were like a bucket to circle him inside.
Jiang Pingce held back a smile and looked at him, “How come the clothes you sewed don’t have sleeves?”
Yue Xingwen’s ears were red. “I’ve never done needlework before, it’s not easy to sew it together!”
Jiang Pingce took the needle and thread in his hand. “I’ll help you sew it. Come, let me measure you.”
Yue Xingwen stood up, Jiang Pingce stretched out his hand and quickly measured his shoulder width, waist circumference and other data with a triangular ruler, and said in a low voice, “How can you sew it without measuring the size? With specific data, it’s possible to sew the right clothes.”
Everyone who was blindly sewing on the side: “…”
Ke Shaobin touched his nose and said with a dry smile, “It’s still a major in Mathematics who is careful. Let’s measure the data!”
Everyone measured each other’s height, arm length and other data, recorded it in the laptop, and then cut the fur into pieces according to the data, and then stitched it together…
Compared to the clothes that were strange at the beginning, the clothes that had been measured and improved by data were quite suitable to wear.
Yue Xingwen put on the lionskin coat that Jiang Pingce personally sewed for him, and his body suddenly warmed up. That warmth seemed to be transmitted along his skin all the way to his heart.
The clothes that Pingce made for him with his own hands, it was a pity that he could not take them out of the exam room, otherwise he would have treasured them for the rest of his life.
When they slept at night, the two were covered with fur coats, and the quilt was warm and Yue Xingwen whispered, “Pingce, you really know everything ah!”
Jiang Pingce raised his eyebrows lightly, “How so?”
Yue Xingwen said, “I have never thought before that you could cook and sew clothes.”
The corners of Jiang Pingce’s lips lifted lightly, and his voice was low and gentle. “Learn more life skills to take care of you, a thick-headed guy, isn’t it?”
Yue Xingwen’s heart jumped, and his ears suddenly burned a little. They were the same age, and they had been friends for so many years. They should take care of each other, but strangely, he seemed to enjoy the feeling of being taken care of by Jiang Pingce.
What was going on?
In Ice Age’s course, it was freezing everywhere, and his teammates shivered every day. He and Jiang Pingce nestled in the quilt cuddled up to sleep, did not feel cold at all. After a few days, he actually craved the temperature of Jiang Pingce’s body, and even wanted to monopolize the other party.
It was unreasonable to have such strange thoughts about friends!
Yue Xingwen turned around weakly and pressed his voice, “Cough, sleep.”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Pingce stretched out his arms from behind and gently hugged his waist, “Okay, good night.”
Yue Xingwen’s face suddenly became a little hot, but he felt that the words to break away were too much, so he had to endure his violent heartbeat and closed his eyes in Jiang Pingce’s arms.
It was the first time for him to be hugged so intimately from behind.
The back was his most sensitive place and would make him feel offended. He was not comfortable turning his back to others, and he would be uncomfortable when someone stood behind his back before. But now, Jiang Pingce hugged him intimately from behind, not only did he not feel the slightest bit repulsed, but he felt at ease.
Because Pingce was the person he trusted the most, he would not be defensive by giving his back to this person.
Yue Xingwen fell asleep in a daze while thinking about it.
He thought they could survive until the end of the exam while hiding at the base and had enough drinking water and food. However, this night, he was dreaming in a daze, and suddenly felt a violent shaking of his body, and before he could react to what was going on, Jiang Pingce suddenly pulled him up. “Xingwen, get up quickly, it seems to be an earthquake!”
Yue Xingwen was instantly sobered up, rolled over and jumped off the bed.
The surrounding world was spinning, he almost fell to the ground. Jiang Pingce hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him. When the two helped each other and rushed out of the room, they just bumped head-on into Ke Shaobin and Xin Yan who came out of the bedroom opposite the door.
Xin Yan’s face was very pale, and he looked like a ghost under the spirit lamp’s light. He said with an expressionless face, “There are still three days left, and the library really won’t make it too easy for us.”
Ke Shaobin asked nervously, “Is it an earthquake? What to do? Can Xiao Nian’s base withstand an earthquake?!”
Students in the other bedrooms were also awakened by the conversation between the four.
Lan Yarong couldn’t stand steadily and slid out directly after falling to the ground, looking like she was about to hit the wall. Lin Manluo quickly summoned vines to tie her hands and pulled her from afar, shouting worriedly, “Senior sister Lan, is everything okay!”
Lan Yarong grabbed the vine and climbed up, and said with a bitter smile, “I’m the shortest and the lightest. I was thrown out directly without standing firmly just now! This is an earthquake, right? Are we going to escape?”
Zhang Xiaonian ran over to the wall in fear. “My shock-proof wall can theoretically resist earthquakes up to magnitude 6. But if it was a big earthquake of magnitude 6 or higher, it can’t stand it, the base will collapse!”
Liu Zhaoqing cursed a few dirty words in a low voice, and said with a calm face. “A big earthquake above magnitude 7, we can’t run away even if we want to.”
As soon as the words fell, the base began to shake fiercely. The fire of the spirit lamp swayed crazily. They did not know if the base was shattered, a cold wind mixed with a blizzard swept in, blowing out all the spirit lamps’ light in the room.
The room was suddenly dark.
The wooden stakes used for rest were shaken to pieces, the base built underground were shaking violently, and the students could not stand up at all and hit each other. Yue Xingwen couldn’t control himself and was about to hit the wall next to him, but was firmly caught by Jiang Pingce. He heard a loud ‘bang’ above his head, and Jiang Pingce’s mouth emitted a muffled grunt!
With that violent shaking just now, Jiang Pingce protected Yue Xingwen with his body. Realizing this, Yue Xingwen’s heart throbbed and he hurriedly grabbed Jiang Pingce’s hand. “Are you okay? Where did it hit?”
Jiang Pingce whispered, “It’s okay.”
The surrounding ground shook. In the darkness, the boy subconsciously hugged Xingwen tightly with his arms, and blocked between Xingwen and the wall with his body—— He didn’t want Xingwen to be hurt in the slightest.
The protective gesture made Yue Xingwen’s heart’s tremble. He took a deep breath, quickly calmed down and said, “Qin Lu, can you judge what magnitude of this earthquake?!”
Qin Lu and Qin Miao supported each other and sat next to each other, and she said quickly, “The earthquake of the Ice Age is likely to exceed magnitude 8. After the big earthquake, the plate movement will form later peaks, canyons and other terrain.”
Yue Xingwen said, “A big earthquake above magnitude 8?!”
Qin Lu gritted her teeth and nodded. “En.”
The earth had six major plates. The plate movements caused earthquakes, with the uplifted part forming mountains and the concave part forming canyons. The big earthquake a million years ago might have formed the terrain of Eurasia in later generations. Once cracks appeared in a big earthquake, they would be swallowed up by the entire earth’s crust in an instant!
Human beings were incomparably small in the face of nature, what should they do?
Yue Xingwen’s brain spun quickly. If it was in the city, they generally had to find an open place to hide, now the place where they were is an ice field, maybe they also had a chance of survival if they found an open place?
Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen immediately made a decision, “Xiao Nian digs up the base, and everyone evacuate immediately! Pingce uses the coordinate system to send everyone to the sky. There are no tall buildings here, the sky is the safest!”
After all, earthquakes were the movement of the earth’s surface and had little effect on high altitude.
Jiang Pingce’s coordinate system could ensure that they moved in the air for 30 minutes continuously.
If the earthquake could end within 30 minutes, they would have survived without incident. If the earthquake was still going on after 30 minutes, they could also choose a suitable open area from high altitude as a landing point.
Jiang Pingce understood what he meant, and said calmly, “Xiao Nian, open a skylight, and everyone will gather near me.”
Zhang Xiaonian decisively summoned the excavator and directly dug a big hole in the roof of the base. Jiang Pingce raised his right hand and quickly wrote down the formula, and a group of people rushed out of the ground like rockets and flew to a height of tens of meters——
So intense!!!!
