The three humans and two beasts stayed in the space for two weeks. After the bandages on Pei Nansheng's body were removed, Zuo Ling used her supernatural abilities to heal Pei Nansheng's injuries to a great extent before leaving the space.

Xiao Hao, Xue Ye, and the waterfall had a blast. When it was time to leave, they were very reluctant to part, but they also knew that their time to save their lives was precious and they couldn't waste it.

The three people and two animals were dressed in thick clothes and traveled in a snow tracked vehicle.

The cold wind howled, and the roads were difficult to travel. The family wandered around for seven or eight days before finally finding a suitable, sheltered place to live.

Along the way, not a single person was seen.

Xiao Hao looked dejected. There was only ice and snow everywhere, no other colors. The environment was too harsh!

The abundance of ice and snow, and the cold, are not the problem; the worst thing is the strong wind.

Winds of force 7 or 8 are the norm, and winds of force 10 or 12 are not uncommon; there are few places without wind.

For several days in a row, they braved the wind and snow to travel.

Snow tracked vehicles are quite heavy, and with the weight of a family of five, they can be blown away in a storm.

At such times, the whole family would seek shelter in the storm area before daring to continue their journey.

"Sister, the conditions here are terrible. Are we really going to stay here?"

They've changed their lodgings several times—Noah's Ark, deep in the mountains, Mount Everest—anywhere is better than living on the icy continent.

Patting Xiao Hao's head: "Don't you like it?"

Xiao Hao pouted, "Hmm, I don't like it," then, after thinking for a moment, emphasized, "I really don't like it."

Zuo Ling smiled and coaxed him:

"Let's stay here for a while, and once the situation outside stabilizes, we'll find a better place to stay."

"Hmm." Xiao Hao said listlessly, his head drooping, looking very unwell.

Centered on their residence, they traveled 30 li (approximately 15 kilometers) to the southeast, northwest, and other cardinal directions, and after confirming that no one lived there, they began to build a new home.

The environment is harsh, and I spend most of my time at home, so I need a larger space to move around.

Based on just the tip of the iceberg, we'll first enclose a large courtyard of 30,000 square meters.

The icy continent has no shortage of ice. The walls are built with ice. First, build an outer wall that is two feet thick and five meters high.

Ice powers can easily cut through ice blocks; a layer of snow can be placed between two-foot-thick ice blocks to both block the view and facilitate concealment.

The two of them didn't know how to build an igloo. The four walls were easy to build, but the roof was the hardest part.

After some discussion, they decided to first build a large wooden frame, then place ice blocks on top of it, and the igloo was built quickly and well.

Using local materials, building igloos costs nothing, so of course, you can go for the most luxurious way possible.

The roof is 4 meters high, the interior area is 400 square meters, and the walls are 50 centimeters thick.

Build the igloo and put the container house inside.

The container house is over 100 square meters, and the empty space is used as a training ground.

Even before the house was fully furnished, Xiao Hao was clearly delighted. "Sister, the ice house is so beautiful, it's like living in a fairytale house."

"Isn't it beautiful? As long as we work together, anywhere we live will be great."

Xiao Hao nodded vigorously.

A better living environment leads to a better mood.

Zuo Ling discussed with Pei Nansheng about capping the 30,000-square-meter courtyard.

The roofing is a major project, but once it's finished, the whole family's quality of life will see a significant leap forward.

Just thinking about it makes me really excited.

Zuo Ling cut the ice into ice slices that were two square meters in size and five centimeters thick, placed them on a wooden frame, used water as an adhesive to seal the gaps, and left a ventilation hole at each of the four corners.

Once the last piece of ice was placed, the entire courtyard was brightened up.

"It's all set up, it's all set up, sister. The yard is sealed off, not a single gust of wind can get in. It's great!"

Xiao Hao dislikes windy days and excitedly runs around in the yard.

Snowy Night and Waterfall also love their new home, and the three little ones are having a blast.

"And there's more! Once the underfloor heating is installed and the temperature rises, we can grow hydroponic vegetables."

They have no shortage of vegetables, but life needs a little greenery to make it more hopeful.

"Great, great, then the house won't be cold anymore."

The family of three was full of energy and got right to work.

The Ding family has small wind turbines in their reserves. The two things that the Ice and Snow Continent has in abundance are ice and wind.

Using wind turbines to power lighting, household appliances, and underfloor heating is just right.

There are plenty of materials available for laying underfloor heating; except for the area where the container house is placed, underfloor heating can be laid everywhere else.

The igloo is kept at a temperature of 12 or 13 degrees Celsius, while the courtyard is kept at around 7 or 8 degrees Celsius.

A separate planting room was set aside, with the electric heating pipes laid out most densely, keeping the room temperature at around 20 degrees Celsius.

The place was too big, so a total of 10 small wind turbines and 4 diesel generators were used to power the house.

Zuo Ling disliked the starkness of the ice everywhere, so she found some small red lanterns and hung them under the eaves.

They also had Pei Nansheng make about ten bamboo lanterns, which immediately enhanced the atmosphere.

Spending more time with his younger siblings has made Pei Nansheng much gentler than before.

He chimed in, "It would be a shame to come to the Ice and Snow Continent and not make an ice lantern."

Zuo Ling is from the north, but she has never had the chance to visit Harbin to see the ice lanterns, which she deeply regrets.

Pei Nansheng stirred her childlike heart, and she acted on her impulse.

Using pigments found at the kiln, I mixed them to a light consistency to make colored ice lanterns.

She has poor manual dexterity, but with her superpower, as long as she has an image of an object in her mind, she can make it.

Golden carp, sturdy horses, adorable pandas...

Seeing the waterfall having so much fun, I made a life-size ice waterfall based on its shape.

It's so realistic, it rivals a real waterfall. It even startled the waterfall, leaving it staring wide-eyed and unable to move for a long time.

On a snowy night, vying for attention, the dog's head poked directly at Zuo Ling, "What about mine?!"

Zuo Ling created another snowy night scene, with the dog excitedly circling around an ice lantern modeled after itself.
