Chapter 24 It’s Snowing

Compared to the two elderly people who were slowly stretching their muscles, Jiang Mi's training looked much more brutal.

At this moment, she was lying on the ground with her legs split, but because her ligaments were not stretched, she could not do the splits completely. Jiang Xun stood beside her, holding her shoulders with both hands, and slowly pressed her body closer to the ground. Jiang Mi's face turned pale with pain. If she hadn't bitten a rag in her mouth, her screams would have filled the entire air-raid shelter.

I have to say that when it came to training his own sister, Jiang Xun really did not hold back at all. No matter how Jiang Mi's face was twisted because of the pain, Jiang Xun did not let her off at all.

Jiang Mi couldn't help but think darkly, is he taking revenge?

Jiang's mother saw it and felt pain in her heart. She wanted to stop Jiang Mi several times and let him take a rest, but she stopped him every time by waving her hand while enduring the pain.

Because Jiang Mi knew very well that the little suffering and pain he was enduring now was just insurance for his life.

If she couldn't even endure this little bit of hardship, how could she become stronger in the future? How could she realize her wish to protect her family and keep them safe forever in the apocalypse?

Jiang's mother saw her determination and naturally didn't want to hold her daughter back, but she couldn't help but feel distressed, so she simply turned a blind eye.

The following days were uneventful. After half a month's hard work, all the plants on the mountain were cleared away by the two men. Looking around, there was no longer any green on the huge mountain. It was bare and pitch black. At first glance, it looked like an oversized grave mound. No normal person would want to get close to it.

This visual effect made Jiang Mi extremely satisfied. It should be able to avoid a lot of trouble.

Without having to go out to clean up the surviving plants on the mountain, Jiang Mi spent all her time exercising. With her hard work, her physical fitness underwent a drastic change in just one month.

To exaggerate a little, she can now carry a bag of rice and climb to the sixth floor without blushing or taking a breath.

Moreover, her body's flexibility has been greatly enhanced, and she will be able to control her body more easily when facing danger in the future.

During this month, there were huge changes outside the air-raid shelter. Not only was the temperature steadily dropping, but also because human cities were becoming increasingly dead, the sky had turned an unchanging gray and foggy as if leaden clouds were pressing down on the city.

"It's snowing outside." Jiang Xun walked into the monitoring room holding a cup of hot milk tea. At this time, he was wearing a dark gray stand-up collar sweater. His hair had grown a lot longer and had covered his eyes, so he chose to pin all his hair up with a headband.

"Is there anything unusual outside?" Jiang Mi was lying on the rocking chair, rocking slightly, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand, sipping it intermittently. There was a floor-standing heater in the corner, and the orange-yellow light made the entire monitoring room warm, so Jiang Mi only wore a thin cashmere sweater.

Jiang Xun shook his head, sat down on another rocking chair, took off his glasses and put them aside, scanned the nearly half-black surveillance screen, and said calmly: "Except for the increasingly active sea monster, there is no trace of mutant plants on the entire mountain."

"However, those sea monsters are getting stronger and stronger. Such strong radiation has no effect on them at all. Instead, they are extremely adaptable."

Jiang Mi glanced at the radiation detector hanging on the wall. At this time, the number on it had soared to three digits, which meant that if an ordinary person faced the radiation of this data without any protection, he would have almost no chance of survival.

Even some simple protective equipment cannot withstand such strong radiation pollution.

"We don't need to go out to patrol the mountains starting tomorrow. The radiation pollution is getting stronger and stronger. I can't guarantee that our protective clothing can withstand it. Let's be on the safe side." Jiang Mi said cautiously.

Even though the whole mountain was covered with surveillance cameras, Jiang Mi still felt uneasy, so he and Jiang Xun took turns patrolling the mountain every day, fearing that there might be some places that could not be reached by the surveillance cameras.

And this decision was indeed correct, because with the gradual outbreak of radiation pollution, the surveillance on the mountain began to have some problems, big and small. However, since no one in the family knew how to repair the surveillance, they could not tell what was wrong with the surveillance, so they had to put it on hold temporarily.

Because even if you replace the surveillance camera with a new one, problems will start to occur after a while.

"My myopia has improved a lot." Jiang Xun said suddenly.

Because of studying, he had become myopic to the extent of nearly 400 degrees. Jiang's mother had thought about letting him undergo vision correction surgery, but Jiang Xun thought that the surgery would affect his studies, so he kept putting it off. By the time he finished college, he had gotten used to wearing glasses, and he never had the surgery.

According to his own words, taking off his glasses would only make his vision a little unclear, but it would not affect his daily life, so there was no need to do so.

"Has your normal vision returned?" Jiang Mi asked curiously.

Jiang Xun shook his head. "It's only recovered a little bit. I still have a little bit of myopia now, but it has basically no impact."

Jiang Mi stroked his chin and fell into thought, "So, the space lake water can also improve people's physical fitness?"

"Very likely." Jiang Xun took a sip of milk tea, lowered his eyes slightly and recalled the recent changes in his body. "My myopia has improved greatly, and my parents' health seems to be much better than before. They are not as energetic as people in their 50s, especially you."

Hearing his elder brother calling his name, Jiang Mi subconsciously looked up at him.

"If it weren't for the effect of the space lake water, in a month, you would have been able to have half of your current physical fitness, which would already be considered a gifted talent." Jiang Xun narrowed his eyes slightly.

"In my previous life, I opened my space too late. Coupled with the pressure of survival, I didn't discover the additional uses of the space lake. I didn't expect it to have this ability." Jiang Mi said in amazement.

"If I continue to use the space lake water, I don't know to what extent my physical fitness will change. I wonder if it can cleanse my bones and tendons like the marrow cleansing pills in those novels about cultivating immortals." She joked.

Jiang Xun glanced at her and asked, "Is the water in your space lake a renewable resource?"

Jiang Mi pondered for a moment and shook his head uncertainly, "I really don't know. The lake is neither big nor small. Whether in my previous life or this life, I have not found any signs of the lake water decreasing after frequent use."

"The effect of lake water is very magical. Let's try to avoid wasting it. I also want to see to what extent lake water can change the human body." Jiang Xun said softly.
