Chapter 189 The Chill Fades
The cold snap lasted for about a week, and during that time, no one mentioned in the chat channel that anyone had gone out and frozen.
Yong Lin was bored staying in the room where he was staying, but he was also glad that he came here. If he had escaped to other city-states, he might not be able to sit so comfortably in front of the window and watch what was happening outside.
Because he had just arrived and didn't have many supplies on him, he couldn't leave the city when the cold wave came, and even when it was inconvenient to go out, Lu Jiu sold him a lot of food and firewood.
He held his chin, wondering when he could leave the city.
He was really impatient at home, so he got dressed, opened the door and went out, only to find that it was not as cold as before, and it was even a little warm.
Yong Lin was stunned. Could it be that the cold wave has finally passed?
There is less than a week left until the end of winter.
Yong Lin was not the only one who felt that it was not so cold. Even during the cold wave, there were many people who came out for a walk. Now that they found that it was not so cold, they were all running around to tell each other.
Yong Lin patted his clothes and started to go downstairs. He was ready to go out of the city to take a look.
When he walked on the street again, he found that it was not as slippery as before.
After reaching the city gate, some people had already noticed that Yong Lin was about to go out. They were standing not far away watching, and some even came closer to prevent him from freezing so that they could drag him back at any time.
Yong Lin stretched his hand out of the protective shield. He was not wearing gloves, and the skin of his hand could clearly feel the temperature outside the protective shield.
He turned his hands and found that they were not as cold as before. Then he walked out. The wind was a little chilly, but not as cold as in early winter.
He took off his scarf and heard the sound of running water, the frozen snow was melting.
There is a lake not far from Xuantian City, and the sound of the melted water flowing there can be faintly heard here.
He laughed, "The snow is melting!"
The people in the city also heard this sound.
"What! The snow melted?"
"Really? I'll go out and take a look."
The residents who were originally watching walked out of the protective shield. After coming out, it was indeed not that cold. What they felt was the winter cold they had experienced before the end of the world.
"The snow is really melting, and I can hear the sound of running water over there in the lake."
"I heard it, I heard it, but it's a pity that we can't catch the fish in it."
…
More and more people walked out of the protective shield, and Lu Jiu saw them in the residential area. The main gate of the building where she lived just faced the city gate.
When she came out, she felt that the weather was not so cold anymore, so she lowered the temperature of the protective shield by a few degrees.
The winter lasted for two months and twenty-six days, and they seemed to have finally survived their first winter.
There was a sound of a door opening next to him. Lu Jiu looked and saw that it was Shen Jufeng who opened the door and came out. He was also wearing a thick nightgown, but he was holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.
He took a sip of tea and said, "Looks like I can go out and stretch my muscles."
Lu Jiu smiled but said nothing, continuing to watch the excited residents outside the city.

The news that winter is over began to flood the chat channels, and everyone was very excited that this difficult season was finally coming to an end.
[Peng Jianming] (Local Channel): Spring is finally here! I'll be heading to another city-state in a few days!
[Fang Yitong] (Same City Channel): Me too. Now I understand how important it is to find a good city-state to settle down!
Spending the winter in a city-state that is generally in a poor condition is a torture. It’s okay if nothing happens, but if something goes wrong, it will be a mess.
[Yan Xiaoyu] (Same city channel): But I am worried about when this beast tide will come. There is no sign yet. I am worried that I will encounter it on the way to other city-states... You know.
[Peng Jianming] (Same City Channel): Please stop being such a pessimist! I'll come back after I reach the other city-states' beast tides.
[Fang Yitong] (Same City Channel): I don’t care when the beast tide comes. Anyway, I want to leave the city where I am now. If the beast tide comes, it will be even worse. If we can’t stop it, we will be doomed.
This makes sense. Instead of waiting until the beast tide is over, it is better to run away before it happens.
Some city-state lords began to worry about their residents leaving, while some no longer wanted to be city lords. Whoever wanted to be the lord could go, and they also wanted to find a powerful city-state to settle down.
But these have nothing to do with Lu Jiu. She is about to go out of the city to kill more wild monsters.
This time she called Yong Lin along. Spring was approaching, and she could put the hunt for the Lord of Tianming City on the agenda. Now she could personally examine the young man's combat effectiveness.
Yong Lin was very excited that Lu Jiu came to him. He didn't know if it was good luck, but a store in the city sold a silver-grade whip, as if it was made for him.
For the sake of this whip, he must try his best to kill more wild monsters and try to get the silver weapon as soon as possible.
This was the first time that the four of them teamed up to go out and clear the jungle. Yong Lin didn't know where to put his hands or what to say.
Seeing that he was young, Lu Jiu was curious about what grade he had been in before. "Were you in college before?"
Yong Lin: "Well, I was just eighteen at the time, about to start my freshman year of college, and I happened to be working in Yangshan City to pay for tuition."
I had just arrived there, not even entered school, and the world had changed.
"Is that so? That's a shame... So did you go to Changyuan City alone from the beginning, or did you go with someone else?"
Yong Lin scratched his head. "I went back with a few other classmates. We were all from Changyuan City, so we were in touch. We also happened to be working summer jobs at the same factory."
"We originally stayed in Yangshan City for a few days, hoping to wait for rescue. However, when no official personnel showed up, we all went back to the district together. I got a career card and a skill card before reuniting with them. After learning these, although the journey was a bit difficult, we still arrived safely. After that, I left the team and went to find my mother."
Later, Lu Jiu and the others also learned that his mother had passed away.
Yong Lin seemed to have opened up, continuing to recount his past events. "Then I happened to see a city-state and settled there. I joined someone else's team, and my life wasn't bad, either. After the city-state disbanded, I went to Tianming City. The city lord, Li Qiao, saw my skills and captured me. She assigned someone to keep an eye on me. You all know what happened next."
When mentioning Tianming City, he shuddered a little. His impression of that place was that it was a huge cage that trapped many people.
Zhuang Yun patted his shoulder and said, "It's all in the past. You are in Xuantian City now."
Yong Lin smiled. Fortunately, he escaped. Otherwise, it was hard to say whether he would still be alive. He did not ask the city lord how he planned to deal with Li Qiao. "I know. I believe that as long as I am here, Li Qiao can't do anything to me."
Zhuang Yun laughed heartily, "You're right. She can't even enter Xuantian City. Even if we meet her in the wild, you'll be fine if you stay with us."
Lu Jiu began to wonder when the opportunity she needed would appear, so that she could get rid of Li Qiao, who was always thinking about them, at one time.
September has passed by. I didn’t expect the number of monthly tickets last month. I was actually ranked more than 100 on Qyue and it was very stable. Although I didn’t make the list, it didn’t affect my happiness. Thank you readers for your support~
Enjoy your vacation!
