Chapter 17：Since When Did The Sun Rise From The South (1/2)

The Northern continent was shrouded by the extreme cold. Everything was covered in snow; the sudden low temperature caused many animals to freeze straight to death.

Only the strongest survived was the law of nature. The weather was changing rapidly and temperatures continued dropping. One had to either migrate or evolve otherwise, death was inevitable.

Early in the next morning, temperatures had begun to rise. The beasts were no longer having asthma attacks, they…

They were in a much better state. They finally began to rest with their eyes shut and their breathing was much more stabilized now.

Based on the messages tab, their conditions went from 'Hypothermia (severe)' to 'Hypothermia (mild)'.

Wei Huo was unaffected as he possessed the strengthened immune system which God had given to humans on top of his strong body quality and Qi-Training Skill.

As mentioned in one of the previous updates, God had given humans strengthened immune and digestive systems presumably for them to quickly adapt in such harsh environments after they come out of the time halt.

However, the stable condition of both beasts had nothing to do with their immune systems. It could be that they had evolved. God's update stated clearly that biological evolution was also accelerated.

Wei Huo let out a sigh of relief. He studied both beasts closely. Although the beasts' ability to move, breath, and etc were weak at the moment, in addition to both their health columns displayed as ”Severely Ill”, they were evidently getting better.

The biological evolution of all living creatures was accelerated yet again. Despite the extreme and cruel cold, there were animals that survived and continued reproducing. It was not going to take long before Earth was filled with living creatures again.

Just this morning, Wei Huo saw a group of mountain hares that were jumping around in the snow. They were not trapped in the snow because of the special structure of their feet which gave them a huge advantage during the winter. Hunters usually had a hard time catching up with them.

However, unfortunately, they bumped into Wei Huo. He was not the type of hunter who would reason with you. He could either use his bow or directly chase after his prey. He could have killed his prey with just one punch, scratch, or kick.

If one's speed was fast enough, he could both walk on water and not be buried by the snow.

When Wei Huo returned to the cabin with those mountain hares, both the panda and tiger had sat up and they now were capable of adding firewood to the bonfire themselves.

According to their Health Menu, their hypothermia had subsided. It was just that their bodily functions have yet to recover fully. They could barely move or eat, but their ability to breathe had recovered.

They began drinking from the wooden bowl containing water that had been boiled from melted snow and cooled again. The wooden bowl was personally made by Wei Huo for holding water.

Wei Huo slaughtered the mountain hares and allowed both beasts to have some before lying down again.

Wei Huo let out a sigh of relief. Truth be told, he was of barely any help to them. He had no medicine nor was he a vet. In addition, he had no abilities to control temperatures at the moment. The beasts could only help themselves regarding the low temperature, but fortunately, they made it through.

However, Wei Huo thought to himself, 'What if I was the one who was sick? I'm the only one in the world who isn't stuck in the time halt, and I couldn't go to the hospital or see a doctor. I'm the only one who could save myself!'

Wei Huo pulled out a mobile phone packed in a small plastic bag. The plastic bag had worn out, while the phone inside was wrapped in layers of transparent tape. Nonetheless, the phone had already rusted.
