These things were all together, and Li Xiao found them two minutes later.

She happily tossed the winter coats outside, saying, "Quickly, take a look and find the ones that fit you, hurry up!"

Seeing her so excited, the group, who were all chilled and listless, asked, "What is it?"

"Winter clothes, hurry up, what are you standing there for?"

Everyone: …………!!

"Ahhhhh—".

Then, everyone rushed onto the pile of clothes, searching for the right size for themselves.

"These aren't the special kind; they can only withstand temperatures as low as -50 degrees Celsius. Any lower and they won't have much of an insulation effect."

"Awooo—"

Everyone was excited; being able to withstand a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius was already quite impressive.

"Xiaoxiao, you are truly my angel." Tian Tian praised Li Xiao while putting on her winter coat.

"Yes, yes, Xiaoxiao, you are truly our savior."

"Oh my god, I'm alive!"

Li Xiao herself was busy adding more clothes to her body; she was freezing, almost to death.

"What are you saying? We're all on the same side. What savior nonsense?"

"No, it is you." Yu Yanbin's face turned blue from the cold. Although they were both superhumans, their resistance was definitely stronger than that of ordinary people, but it was not something that could completely withstand the cold and not be afraid of the severe winter.

People with superpowers are only slightly better than ordinary people, just slightly better.

Yu Yanbin was freezing. Who would have thought the temperature would drop so low? No one could stand that.

I've never experienced this kind of weather before; the first time I encountered it, I was always filled with fear.

No matter how many thick clothes you wear, or even if the fire is burning 24 hours a day, it still can't drive away the cold.

To avoid freezing to death, they specially set up several bonfires near the fireplace in the hall and kept throwing firewood into them all day long.

The entire hall was ablaze with firelight, and even the sofas were moved to the side to make room for the fire.

Only after we put on our winter clothes did I feel alive again.

"Phew, I'm alive!" Tian Tian almost cried; she had been freezing to death for the past two days.

"Absolutely, I felt like I was freezing to death."

"He's alive! He's alive!" Shao Jie exclaimed dramatically, drawing everyone's attention.

Don't you think so?

No one had anything to say; it was the truth, and Shao Jie wasn't wrong.

The winter coat is indeed very effective; it makes me much warmer after wearing it.

It's too cold, so we don't dare go out.

Now, as if he had gained a strong motivation, Shao Jie was determined to go out for a stroll and find out about the situation inside the base.

The base is in bad shape right now; the buildings, houses, streets, and potholes are all frozen solid.

The sky, which had been as dark as night, slowly began to lighten on the third day, and it was no longer so pitch black outside.

With the light, it was as if there was hope; the shouting and noise subsided considerably.

Shao Jie quickly ran around the base, visiting all the places he was supposed to go and seeing all the places he was supposed to see.

So, Shao Jie quickly ran back to the villa.

"Phew—" Shao Jie exhaled a deep breath after taking a sip of hot tea. "It's fucking cold."

"How is it? What's going on outside?" Everyone was concerned about this topic and couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, there's not a soul in sight, everything's frozen, it's all white everywhere."

Everyone fell silent; they had all guessed what was going on.

"You guys didn't see it, some places are completely frozen over. Like that area over there, which is a bit lower down, there's ice under the houses there. And those houses on the outer perimeter, where you are, the wind is strong over there, oh my god, the ice on the outer walls is really spectacular."

"What?" Tian Tian asked in disbelief, her eyes wide.

Shao Jie chuckled, "If you want to know, go see for yourself. I can't really explain it. The ice on the outside of the house is being blown around by the wind, wow, it looks like something out of a science fiction movie."

"Really, now that you mention it, I really want to go see it." Tian Tian was very interested. "When are you going out? I'll go with you then."

Shao Jie laughed and said, "Sure, as long as you're not afraid of the cold."

Tian Tian patted herself down. "With this, I can still handle a little cold."

Li Xiao found it amusing; she wondered who had just said they were going to freeze to death.

"What else is going on?"

"Oh, maybe it's just cold. Nothing's happening. There's no one even at the information desk."

"They must have gone to escape the cold," Meng Yang said.

"Yeah, that should be the case. There's nobody outside. Hey, who would go outside in minus 30 degrees Celsius, unless they're like me?"

Everyone laughed. Now that they have the equipment to keep warm, they can talk big without any shame.

"Be careful, this cold-weather suit can only be used above 50 degrees Celsius, it won't work below that," Li Xiao warned.

"I know that. At such low temperatures, it's not easy for people to survive." Shao Jie was not optimistic about the future situation.

"Sigh, who knew it would get harder and harder now."

Everyone sat in the middle of the fire, looking quite melancholy.

Li Xiao was worried. In this state, she didn't know what lay beyond the low temperature, or what awaited them.

She kept observing the surroundings on the map, and could still see that many people had frozen to death.

In those rooms, it's impossible for anyone to stay motionless in one place.

More and more people are freezing to death, and the situation is worsening.

Cheng Shaolin patted her hand to comfort her.

Li Xiao smiled at Cheng Shaolin. There was no better way now, so they all stayed in the base and their lives were the priority.

Even though it's freezing cold, no one goes out. They can cook and eat in the villa without worry.

It's too cold. Only by eating and drinking enough can we warm up our bodies and alleviate the negative emotions brought on by the cold.

However, we can't cook food with a strong smell, even though it's a villa, each villa is a distance apart.

However, if the smell is too strong, others may still be able to smell it.

To minimize risk, Li Xiao didn't bring out any hot pot ingredients. She only prepared some dishes that tasted good but weren't very flavorful.

Dishes like steamed crab, pickled fish, steamed fish, boiled shrimp, stewed chicken with potatoes, stewed rabbit with radish... are best served with rice and won't have too much of a strong smell.

The best thing to eat in the freezing cold is hot pot, but hot pot without spice has no soul.

This hot pot is so spicy that the smell of chili peppers inevitably wafts around at times.

For safety reasons, we have to sacrifice hot pot.

Everyone understood, but they still felt a sense of regret.

However, thanks to the comforting presence of crabs and shrimp, the slight regret in my heart lessened considerably.
