There have been numerous reports on this aspect, one report pointed out: at the end of the 20th century, American chemist Malcolm Henry discovered the secret of why polar bears are not afraid of the cold. Henry observed the fur of polar bears using an electron microscope and found that the hairs are colorless, transparent, hollow tubes, essentially tiny "photoelectric tubes" through which only ultraviolet light can pass. Polar bears use these photoelectric tubes to absorb ultraviolet rays from the sunlight, thereby increasing the temperature around their bodies. Additionally, their several centimeters thick subcutaneous fat layer and water-resistant fur provide excellent insulation. Thus, clad in a self-regulating fur coat, polar bears can traverse the icy realms without fear of the cold!

The skin of polar bears is black, and we can see the natural appearance of their skin on their noses, paw pads, lips, and black skin around their eyes. Black skin helps absorb heat, which is another effective method of staying warm.

Polar bears are well adapted to life in cold regions. Their white fur blends in with the ice and snow, aiding in camouflage. Except for their noses, footpads, and small paw pads, every part of the polar bear's body is covered with fur. Their furry paws help increase friction on ice, preventing them from slipping, and of course, they are not afraid of the cold and can even walk in icy water for a long time. In the deep winter, polar bears significantly reduce their activities, can go a long time without eating, they find sheltered places to lie down and sleep, their breathing rate decreases, entering a state of partial hibernation. This so-called partial hibernation means that, unlike the total hibernation of animals like snakes, they are in a sleep-like state, able to wake up immediately if danger arises.

It's evident, whether it's polar bears or penguins, their ability to withstand the cold has certain commonalities. However, humans differ according to evolutionary theory; though humans are also living beings, their adaptability to environments is exceptionally strong. If the polar ice caps were to melt, present-day penguins and polar bears might go extinct, but humans would not; humans could adapt to various environments through the power of technology.

Over millions of years, animals have evolved fur and fat for survival, whereas human evolution has taken the opposite direction, focusing on intelligence. Humans can create warmth for themselves by making clothing, producing tools, and utilizing labor and intelligence.

However, this theory clearly does not apply to Colonial Planet 103. Although many people also live on Colonial Planet 103, their lives are extremely difficult, and the harsh environment can even be traced back to the Ice Age, the era when mammoths and saber-toothed tigers, which also had thick feathers and outer fat layers, existed to withstand extreme cold and heat.

Human evolution does not change overnight. Their survival may experience slight changes due to the environment, perhaps becoming fatter or thinner, taller or shorter, such as the Norse Vikings, who are reputed to be large and strong with great cold resistance. On the other hand, the Forest Dwarves of the super Earth tank planet, their physical stature is exactly the opposite of the Norse Vikings, precisely because of different planetary gravity and environments. Therefore, aspects like height and weight mostly depend on genetic heritage.

Clearly, the high gravity environment of Colonial Planet 103 also causes slight changes in people who have lived there long-term. What's different is that most local people are there because various circumstances left them no choice. Their genes already have their own life code etched in them; regardless of how many years these people have spent on the high gravity planet 103, their body structure would not undergo too noticeable changes.

The so-called individual mutations are gene evolution forces triggered by extreme environments, commonly described as bloodline power, but such individuals are rare. This is why Blade Warrior does not believe this despicable guy could be the one to trigger this genetic power, leading her to her second hypothesis: he might have already frozen to death.

As for the last possibility, that guy is still lurking, keeping a low profile, and stealthily competing with her in this cat-and-mouse game. Thus, Blade Warrior decided to continue waiting. She doesn't believe anyone can endure one day after another indefinitely.

Unless that person is Feng Yi.

It is known that back on Death Planet, where the nighttime temperatures could reach nearly a hundred degrees coupled with severe radioactive pollution, even in such extreme conditions, Feng Yi once came alone to sift through garbage, and found a biological Mecha. This was also how she first met Feng Yi, so if there's anyone in the world who would frivolously squat around doing nothing, the Blade Warrior could only think of Feng Yi.

Additionally, this place is in Seventh District, recalling that this guy had a habit of squatting whether during his military service playing fast-push StarCraft with comrades or stealthily lurking in the V583 asteroid belt, all of which reveal the despicable characteristics of this old schemer Feng Yi.

Therefore, Blade Warrior also thought of this possibility, this person might be Feng Yi.

When she shared her thoughts with everyone, Sky Shadow, Roland, Mengdie, and even Iman Sara got agitated. It turned out Blade Warrior had already considered this aspect, no wonder she was so resolute in contending with this person. This made her speculation seem not entirely unreasonable.

"What, you think that guy might be Feng Yi?"

The pudgy Zhang Xiaobo had been confused all night. On hearing this, he finally perked up. Although the long journey was not too torturous for them, it was fraught with peril and full of dangers, like the disparity in combat capabilities between another dimension and their original universe, which was a chasm as vast as heaven and earth.

If possible, Zhang Xiaobo just wanted to go home. He would rather die in his own universe's space-time than continue wasting time day by day in this godforsaken place because the timeline in his universe was never altered, yet he was aging every day.

Sometimes, Zhang Xiaobo is a very contradictory person; he is extremely afraid of death and treasures his life greatly, but his views on certain things are obsessively obstinate beyond normal, such as this matter with Iman, Zhang Xiaobo firmly believes that intelligent beings and ordinary people are no different.

Intelligent beings have their own feelings, thoughts, and consciousness; apart from pain sensors and memory, they are just normal people who have been programmed with a way of thinking. It shows that although Zhang Xiaobo is timid and cherishes life, he possesses a sense of humanity that contrasts starkly with those high-ranking individuals atop the pyramid.

Blade Warrior neither agreed nor disagreed with Zhang Xiaobo's words, simply shrugged her shoulders, "Maybe, I can't be sure, but I think it's rare for someone to be so idle and bothered to tamper with my monitor in the dead of night."

Zhang Xiaobo asked, "What do you think are the chances it's him?"

"At least a twenty percent chance."

As for why, Feng Yi's mind is not quite like ordinary people's—he always has some bizarre, ingenious ideas, such as the Blank Paper Realm and the Third Rhythm. He always does things others can't imagine and enjoys them, often producing outcomes beyond people's expectations.

It's also evident in this matter, the person who destroyed quite a few of her drones was very clever. Initially, he just tried to bring the drones down, but in less than a day, he fortified the stolen drones with shooting equipment. Although not very powerful, almost equivalent to an air gun, it was more than enough to take down her drones. Without her having advanced equipment, it would have been hard to imagine what kind of device this person on Colonial Planet 103 could create to target her.

Due to various reasons, Blade Warrior thought it through and connected this person with Feng Yi. Although she couldn't be sure, if it was him, it would indeed be possible for him to lay low for so long. It seems only time can verify this now.
