Frozen Snowfield

Charles took Arthur's flowers, fixed his hair, and walked towards Ye Miaomiao.

It happened that the New Year's goods purchasing activity was about to begin, and everyone stopped their work and gathered together for a rare occasion.

After experiencing a disaster, the territory had gained a lot of people, more than double the original number.

Many people even found Ye Miaomiao unfamiliar.

After she announced the SSR card information, she activated it directly.

Immediately afterwards, a circle of light shot out from the center of the card, bouncing back and forth between several territories before landing on the "River Beach Along the Creek." A three-minute countdown lit up above the territory and began ticking in the blink of an eye.

The crowd quickly rushed towards the river beach along the stream.

Ye Miaomiao was no slower than others. Charles had just finished his haircut and deliberately walked around behind Ye Miaomiao to give her a surprise.

Unexpectedly, Ye Miaomiao suddenly turned around and rushed towards him at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. The group behind Ye Miaomiao did not slow down at all, and some of them had hideous faces, as if they were ready to eat human flesh.

What are you doing!

Charles was so shocked that he almost dropped the flowers in his hand - he was just giving flowers, there didn't need to be such a big fuss!

He was frightened, confused, and uneasy, yet also secretly delighted. Charles's charm was indeed much greater than Arthur's. Look at this grand ceremony!

Sure enough, completing the task myself instead of Arthur was the right choice!

Then he saw Ye Miaomiao without even glancing at him, running past him like a gust of wind, bringing with her the fragrance of rose dew.

Then came the rest of the hungry residents, who completely ignored Baron Charles. Of course, some noticed him, shouted "Blocking the way!" and passed by him.

Charles, who was just smugly pleased with himself, suddenly froze. He had always been the center of attention since he was a child, and he never thought that he would become the one blocking the road while standing elegantly in the middle of the road with flowers in his hand!

It turns out that what he thought was a welcome was all his wishful thinking!

An uncomfortable embarrassment suddenly rose from the soles of Charles' feet, and he almost wanted to crawl into the ground immediately and pretend that he had never appeared.

Charles felt like a joke, as he couldn't decide whether to put the flowers away or not.

Fang Yan, who was watching from a distance with a frown on his face, said: "..."

"Captain, aren't you joining us?" The team member ran forward two steps and turned to look at Fang Yan: "Hurry up! Free stuff! Winter is coming, and we'll be better off if we stock up on more things!"

Fang Yan nodded, indicating that he would go right away, and the team members then ran away quickly.

Charles...

Fang Yan, who was standing not far away, could clearly see Charles's shiny hair and smug expression.

This kind of dress and this kind of behavior make him look like a street urchin. In Country Z, he looks like a spirited young man.

Fang Yan couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He still wanted to cheat people of their money and bodies?

My originally worried mood also calmed down a little because of this.

He believed in Ye Miaomiao very much. She had always been a powerful figure in his heart. Even when she was dying, under that fragile blue-purple light curtain, Fang Yan still felt that she had never died.

Although love makes people blind, Fang Yan always felt that Ye Miaomiao would not be so blind.

However, there are exceptions to everything... "I will personally keep an eye on Charles." Fang Yan adjusted the specific tasks in the small group: "The rest of the people, Charles' servants, and those few common nobles, you keep a close eye on them."

The New Year's shopping spree was over quickly; the preliminary round wasn't difficult to begin with. The Hungry Hungry Territory was large and active, with around two hundred people searching the field and quickly finding the firework.

The lucky ones were two people who found the fireworks at the same time. Ye Miaomiao divided the reward equally between them. The others were not discouraged either, as they had consolation prizes.

A restaurant meal worth ten points can be used to buy a meal, drink, and dessert.

This time, the harvest was even greater. Since this was a competition in the interstellar era with a "retro" theme, Ye Miaomiao obtained a lot of retro foods with a long shelf life, such as bacon and sausages.

The most surprising thing was that she got a booklet called "Scientific and Effective Methods of Making Retro Food".

The booklet listed several drawings, such as a sausage stuffer for making sausages, and several recipes for making bacon.

Ye Miaomiao: “!”

Now I am not really afraid of having too much meat!

However, making bacon requires a lot of salt, and salt is currently very scarce in the territory, so it is impossible to produce bacon and sausages in large quantities.

Before that, you need to find a salt field——

Ye Miaomiao turned her gaze towards the territory of "Sunset Beach". This territory did not have any harvest bonus, but its proximity to the sea was a unique resource.

The introduction states that it has a large amount of seafood resources such as fish, shellfish, and large salt fields.

Ye Miaomiao happily added it to the list of candidates, and threw the blueprints and recipes to the factory and mechanics respectively. Although the territory was low in salt, it could still produce a small amount of bacon and sausages.

She finally gets to try something new!

The night gradually died down amidst the bustle, and the excitement of reaping a large number of rewards gradually calmed down with the charcoal quietly burning in the fireplace.

However, at six o'clock the next morning, all the peace will disappear.

The disaster that was briefly forgotten by everyone did not disappear, but instead came back with the force of a storm.

[Hello dear players, congratulations on successfully resisting the first round of disasters.

The second round of disasters is about to arrive, this time a special disaster called "Frozen Snowfield." The world is about to be shrouded in extreme cold, with a massive drop in temperature every seven days.

Your only mission of resistance - to survive!

The disaster is about to begin, wish you good luck, we are with you. 】

At six o'clock in the morning, a system message appeared silently on everyone's screen.

The time panel with the word "Spring" also turned into a more specific date list. In addition to the blood-red marks every seven days, the top also marked the season "Winter" and the current temperature of -10℃.

Of course, everyone knew the disaster was coming, so receiving the news was not surprising.

The most intuitive feeling is that when you get up from the warm bed in the morning and open the door, an unprecedented chill hits you.

The already cold weather suddenly became bone-chillingly cold. It was as if a monster had finally bared its sharp fangs. Overnight, the entire world was covered in ice and snow.

Ye Miaomiao originally wanted to go to the temple to wash her face with hot water and then put on her hat and scarf.

Now I had no choice but to go back to my room, put on my cotton coat, sweater, down jacket, and gloves, and only when I finally felt warm enough did I dare to walk out of the room.

At least there was a fireplace in the room that burned day and night, making the temperature very suitable for human living.

Outside the room was a grassland, or to be more precise, an endless expanse of snow-white ice field, exposed to the biting cold wind, and the temperature was extremely low.

Ye Miaomiao took two steps and received a negative status notification before she even reached the restaurant.

[Exposure to low temperatures and insufficient caloric intake has made you unable to maintain your current state. You gain the negative effect: Weakness and Susceptibility to Illness (All Attributes -5).]

[Warm reminder: You are more likely to get sick than usual! ]

Ye Miaomiao: "..." She had just walked out of the room for less than a minute!

It seems that keeping the room warm is really an important thing. Not only do you have to keep the fireplace burning, but you also have to make sure the heat doesn't leak out.

Only a handful of residents, including Ye Miaomiao, have installed glass windows. The windows of other people's houses are still empty, allowing the cold wind to blow in unhindered.

Ye Miaomiao hurriedly urged the factory to speed up production and distributed the accelerated fruit wine to the factory.

On the other hand, she turned on the light screen and posted a message in the group reminding people to eat on time and replenish calories.

After sending it, Ye Miaomiao ran to the restaurant and quickly ordered a bowl of steaming hot porridge.

Most food sold in restaurants now has some cold-repellent properties, and the extent of the cold-repellent effect is clearly marked on the menu.

Ye Miaomiao ordered a small porridge set meal, which included a side dish of pickled peppers, which could keep her body temperature rising by 5°C for three hours.

Although mosquitoes are small, they are still meat after all.

However, this negative effect is just the tip of the iceberg.

After finishing her meal, Ye Miaomiao started to work, placing windows in every household. Soon after, a lot of bad news came from the residents.

After someone was infected with the first stage, he took off his gloves to wipe the sweat off his hands during work, and his hands got cold and suddenly developed frostbite.

At first he didn't take it seriously, until his hands became more and more painful and itchy, and he couldn't even hold the tools, then he realized the seriousness of the problem!

The effect of [weak body and easy illness] is not just talk!

Of course, the former are still relatively good. They are all standard cotton coats, sweaters and down jackets. Together, they have a 43°C warming effect.

They were dressed warmly, but they did not eat on time, which had negative effects and caused minor local illnesses, but it was nothing serious.

What’s even more serious is that some people don’t wear enough clothes.

They may even be infected with more serious diseases, which is unimaginable.

For the latter, the territory's production level has reached its limit, ensuring that everyone has a set of cotton clothes to change into, as well as sweaters, down jackets and other warm clothes.

Ye Miaomiao ensured that the production was sufficient. As for who had the goods or why, she didn't know the reason, and the weaving hut didn't have time to produce more large clothes.

Now, after obtaining the [Weak Body and Many Diseases] effect, parts of the body that are easily exposed to the air, such as the hands, ears, and head, are extremely prone to illness.

The territory needs to quickly produce three-piece cold-weather suits to ensure that everyone, whether they can knit or not, can buy gloves, hats, and scarves.

At this moment, Luo Zhiwen was hiding in the house, cursing and throwing his leather jacket on the ground.

After a while, his rumbling stomach urged him to pick up the clothes on the ground and put them on again.

He was really hungry, but he didn't know whether he should go out. As soon as he opened the door, the system reminded him that he was exposed to the cold.

Luo Zhiwen read all the reports from various people in the group that they were sick, and that was why he felt hesitant.

But he was hungry and his points were all gone. He had to go out to eat and earn money...

Just go!

After a moment, Luo Zhiwen made up his mind.

What's there to be afraid of? It's just alarmist talk! It's just winter. He's lived for decades, and he's been through winter like this every year. How come he never gets sick?
