In his previous life, around the same time, Chen Yu, who was affiliated with the Fire Seed Base, went out on a mission with his transport team members, dragging his tired body as usual.

It was a snowy day, and they were driving their heavy snowmobiles, struggling across the vast snowfield, heading towards a newly discovered resource gathering site far from their base.

During the arduous journey, Chen Yu's heart was filled with helplessness and exhaustion.

He knew all too well that although he was a member of the Fireseed Base, he was actually just a pawn in the hands of the base's higher-ups, and could be sacrificed at any time.

His so-called "home" was nothing more than a shabby shantytown, filled with people like him who were exploited and oppressed by the base.

After two days of hard work, their transport team finally obtained the supplies and prepared to return.

However, not long after they left, a sudden blizzard shattered all the peace.

The wind howled and the snow fell heavily, making it seem as if only a vast white world remained between heaven and earth.

The blizzard was so fierce that their snowmobile was quickly half-buried in the thick snow.

Chen Yu and his teammates tried their best to get the vehicle out of trouble, but it was all in vain. They were forced to abandon the vehicle and find shelter.

They were forced to abandon their vehicle and seek refuge.

They struggled forward through the blizzard, each step seemingly requiring all their strength.

Chen Yu's breathing became rapid, and his cheeks stung from the wind and snow.

His heart was filled with fear and despair. He knew that if they could not find shelter, they would all perish on this vast snowfield.

However, it was an extremely cold and apocalyptic time, with snow covering more than ten meters deep. How could they, far from the city, easily find a safe haven?

In the end, they all collapsed in the vast snowfield due to exhaustion and hypothermia.

Chen Yu's consciousness began to blur. He seemed to hear the whispers of death and feel the approach of death.

At this critical moment of life and death, a dazzling light suddenly shone into his eyes, and then he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he was already lying in a warm bed.

The surroundings were no longer filled with the biting cold of a blizzard, but with soft lights and warm air.

"Chen Yu, you're awake!" a kind-looking young man exclaimed in surprise.

This person was one of Chen Yu's teammates at the time, named Liu Long.

Seeing that Chen Yu had woken up, he quickly picked up a pot of hot water, poured a bowl of it and handed it to Chen Yu: "Drink some hot water first to warm yourself up."

Chen Yu took the bowl, and the warmth of the hot water seeped through the ceramic into his palm, making him feel a little warm.

He took a careful sip, and the hot water slid down his throat, as if a warm current flowed into his whole body, dispelling the chill within him.

"Where is this?" Chen Yu couldn't help but ask.

"This is Wenshui Village. It was the village chief and the others who saved us," Liu Long replied, a hint of gratitude and relief in his eyes. "If it weren't for the village chief and the others' kindness in rescuing us, we brothers would probably all have perished on the snowy plains. It doesn't matter if I die here with my worthless life, but I pity my Lingling and my father. How could they survive without me!"

At this point, Liu Long's eyes reddened, and his voice choked with emotion.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu patted Liu Long on the shoulder: "It's alright, it's all over now."

As Chen Yu spoke, he glanced around and then asked with a puzzled look, "Where are the others? Are they all alright?"

“The captain and everyone else are fine. They were just called to the canteen by the village chief. Now that you're awake, let's go over there quickly!” Liu Long said to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu nodded; he was also extremely hungry at that moment.

The two stepped out of the house, where a long, snow-covered passageway stretched out before them.

On both sides of the passageway were rows of houses.

Yes, in his previous life, Chen Yu and his teammates almost died on the snowfield, and were saved by the villagers of Wenshui Village.

However, this act of kindness by the villagers of Wenshui Village brought utter disaster upon their village.

…………

"Sir?" Lin Lele's voice rang in Chen Yu's ears, pulling him back to reality.

"Hmm?" Chen Yu snapped out of his reverie, looked at Lin Lele, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Sir, you just said that the villagers of Wenshui Village deliberately triggered an avalanche to cover the entire village with thick snow in order to survive better?" Lin Lele pressed, trying to understand this seemingly absurd yet logical explanation.

"The outside world is cruel. Wenshui Village is guilty of possessing a treasure. Do you think everyone is as easy to talk to as our Tianyu Base?" Chen Yu said with a wry smile.

“That’s true.” Lin Lele nodded. “It’s been over a year since the extreme cold and apocalypse, and this village still has electricity. It’s easy for others to covet it.”

A knocking sound suddenly came from outside the door, interrupting the conversation inside.

"Guests, my dad asked me to call you over for dinner." A clear female voice came from outside the door. Chen Yu and Lin Lele exchanged a glance, and then Chen Yu got up to open the door.

The door opened, and a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old stood in the doorway. She was wearing a thick cotton-padded coat, and although she had a smile on her face, her eyes revealed a hint of curiosity and wariness.

Upon seeing the person who had entered, Chen Yu was once again in a daze.

"Hello, my name is Xu Qing, you can call me Xiao Qing. My dad is the village chief, and he asked me to come and take you to the canteen for lunch." Xiao Qing's voice was like a ray of sunshine in winter, warm and bright.
