Chapter 256 Winter Comes Overnight
Before coming to this site, they had roughly guessed that this site might be related to animals or lakes.
Now after looking at the scenic map, they understand that "white birds" do not refer to the real birds here, but the mountains across the lake.
When looking down from above, the mountains in this large ecological park look like birds flying in the air, and the mountains on both sides are like open wings surrounding the lake at the foot of the mountain.
In addition, the top of the mountain is covered with snow, which looks like a white bird, so it is named Bai Niao Lake.
The entire Bai Niao Lake Ecological Park covers a very large area, about twice the size of Paradise Island.
At present, except for You Zhenzhen, the other three of them all have cards opened at the previous station and unused balances, but obviously, the currency and mobile phones of this station are not compatible with the previous station.
So far, the only thing that makes them happy is that the four people randomly appear in a very close distance, all near the leisure area scenic area map, and they gather together after sending a message to confirm the location and walking a few steps.
There are a lot of green emeralds and gold in Youxi Space, but at present, there is no pawnshop or even a gold shop in this place. There are some very beautiful jewelry stores, but they have seen that they sell some inexpensive decorative accessories, and it is impossible to spend a lot of money to buy gold and emerald raw stones.
Because they are penniless, they can't even enter the small shop selling drinks, and can only sit on the benches on the lakeside path for the time being.
"How about finding a tourist, 'negotiating' and 'selling' him some gold?" You Zhenzhen said, looking at Tang Yatong. Although she still can't remember who she is, why she knows her and is so familiar with her.
But she just subconsciously thinks that if there is anyone in this team who will agree with her suggestion, that person must be Tang Yatong.
Tang Yatong: ...
So she looks like someone who does these things?
Upon hearing this, Lin Wu immediately looked at Tang Yatong, and even echoed, "You are more experienced." He was referring to the scene when they first met in the desolate land, when she appeared with the aborigines and planned to "trade" with them.
Tang Yatong: ...
She took out a cigarette, tilted her head to light it, and then pulled a handful of You Zhenzhen's hair: "Okay, you choose the right person, and I'll do the rest!"
You Zhenzhen combed her messed up hair and looked at Tang Yatong with some confusion. I always felt that the other party's actions of touching cigarettes, lighting cigarettes, and stroking her hair just now were particularly familiar...
"The accommodation fees for the four of us, plus the cost of stockpiling, ordinary tourists may not have so much money." While the other three were discussing, You Xi's eyes were locked on another group of people.
Like some other passengers who left the platform alive, Lu Yong's team saw a fire burning somewhere in the maze when they were lost in the huge maze, and then heard the arsonist's threatening words.
What surprised them was that the pedestrian actually used this method to force the "plant wall" to open the passage!
Later, Lu Yong thought about it and realized that their thinking was indeed limited. When they saw the maze, they subconsciously followed the "rules of the game", but in fact, the prompt given by the mobile phone was only to leave the platform within 20 minutes.
They had killed many strange creatures on such platforms in the past, so how come they were suddenly trapped in the maze?
Afterwards, the people in their team took out flamethrowers and followed suit, and soon left the platform smoothly.
Lu Yong remembered the voice of the arsonist and the threat. The other party boarded the train with them on Paradise Island, and then happened to live in the sleeper compartment next to them. It was a team with strength that should not be underestimated.
This time their team was lucky. After arriving at Bainiao Lake, one of the team opened the unlimited currency. During the three days, they ate instant noodles on the train while smelling the various delicious aromas next to them. They were almost depressed, so they agreed to meet at a restaurant near the lake at the foot of the mountain to have a bite first.
However, he had just arrived at the restaurant and had not yet taken his first bite of food when he heard a familiar voice standing by and saying, "Do you want to trade?"
More than half an hour later, in a bank in the tourist service area, the two parties, satisfied with the transaction, said goodbye to each other.
Youxi exchanged two gold bars worth 150,000 and two fist-sized emeralds for a transfer of 1.6 million. The transfer was divided into four parts and transferred to the newly opened bank cards of the four people in Youxi.
This transaction was definitely a profit for Lu Yong's team. After all, before in Paradise Island, a pigeon egg-sized emerald was exchanged for 350,000 cash and a gold bar worth 30,000 in the gold shop.
Now, the price of two fist-sized emeralds alone is ten times higher than that of the original pigeon egg, not to mention the gold bars worth three hundred thousand in total.
Their currency is unlimited, so it doesn't matter how much they transfer to each other.
On the other hand, for You Xi, she has plenty of emeralds in her space, and this time she just knocked two more from the same piece. They have discussed that this money, in addition to the food, accommodation and transportation for the next fifty-five days, must also fill up You Zhenzhen's space.
Her skill is also space, with one hundred cubic meters. There was no chance to stock up in the previous two stops, only some basic water and items.
"Is there anything else we need to stock up?" In Tang Yatong's opinion, they had stocked up in large quantities several times on Paradise Island, and had almost bought everything they needed.
"We are still short of one thing, which is the supplies that we couldn't buy on Paradise Island before." You Xi said, and pointed to the direction of the snow-capped mountains across the lake.
Lin Wu understood: "Winter protection supplies."
"It's better to be prepared. Since there are some here, let's fill up Zhenzhen's space as well."
You Zhenzhen nodded, walked forward and hooked You Xi towards the ski equipment store. She hasn't felt this way for a long time, as if the holiday is about to come, and her heart is full of anticipation and joy of going shopping for holiday supplies with her family.
The ski resort of Bainiao Lake is very famous, and the temperature on the mountain is also very low. It is late autumn now. In two weeks, it will be winter in Bainiao Lake, and it will also be the peak season for skiing. Many tourists will come here.
There are many ski equipment stores and winter equipment stores, both at the foot of the mountain and on the mountain. They went to three or four stores and equipped each person with two or three sets of fully protective cold-proof equipment, from waterproof and warm snow boots, to cashmere thermal pants, waterproof down pants, warm underwear, cold-proof cashmere jackets, windproof and waterproof sprint jackets, waterproof down jackets, cold-proof hats, goggles, hoods, gloves... everything.
The more underwear and pants, the better, for easy replacement.
In addition, because there is also a camping area on the mountain, these equipment stores also have camping equipment suitable for winter, and they also bought several sets of windproof tents, thermal blankets, electric heaters, and thermal pads.
You Zhenzhen said that since they were here, they should also equip themselves with some skiing equipment. In case of any emergency on the mountain, using skis is always faster than running.
What he said made sense and no one could find any reason to refute it, so they bought six more sets of skiing equipment, and kept the extra two sets as spares.
Because there were too many things and many people nearby, there was no space to store the items they bought, so Lin Wu rented a large four-wheeled electric vehicle and temporarily put the things he bought on it.
Probably considering the temperature of the scenic area, this four-wheeled electric vehicle has retractable windshields on all sides, and they are opaque, which makes it very convenient for them to handle the supplies on the vehicle.
They plan to confirm the accommodation first, and then go out to see if there is anything else they need to buy.
At present, there are accommodations in several different scenic spots of Bainiao Lake. On the left side of the lake in front of us is the forest area, where there are tree houses, forest villas and other accommodations. On the right side of the lake is the grassland area, where there are pastures and indoor plantations, and most of the accommodations are in the form of farmhouses.
There are many lake view villas on both sides of the lake, tree houses for bird watching, and fully enclosed bubble tents with transparent tops for watching stars at night.
Most of these beautiful accommodations are surrounded by plants. These houses were originally built to meet the tourists' desire to get close to nature.
But after experiencing the "plant wall" that bleeds and howls on the platform, the four of them are now a little insensitive to plants.
In the end, everyone unanimously decided to drive the battery car up the mountain and stay in the hotel at the ski resort, where the altitude is high and, most importantly, there are few plants.
Two hours later, Youxi and his group of four booked a family suite with two floors at the most luxurious Snow View Hotel on the top of the mountain.
Snow View Hotel is the only five-star hotel on the mountain. The price of a hotel on the top of the mountain is naturally not cheap, but they are not short of money now, or it should be said that the only goal is to spend all the money in everyone's card before the end of the fifty-five days.
The family suite is on the twelfth floor, and you can overlook the entire lake and mountain scenery from the terrace.
The upper floor of the suite is an open bedroom and bathroom with a king-sized bed. There are two south-facing rooms downstairs, with a living room and a simple bar counter and induction stove area in the middle. Each room has its own independent bathroom.
Tang Yatong and Lin Wu live downstairs, and Youxi and You Zhenzhen sleep upstairs. However, it was impossible for the four of them to fall asleep at the same time at night, so someone still had to stay to keep watch. The temperature on the mountain is colder than at the foot of the mountain, about 0 to 5 degrees. It has already snowed, and there are not many tourists at the ski resort at the moment.
They were all still wearing thin T-shirts and jackets, and the first thing they did after entering the room was to organize their belongings and change into winter clothes.
You Zhenzhen had the weakest physique, so she directly changed into the warm cashmere clothes and pants she had just bought. The quality of these cashmere clothes and pants was very good. After putting them on, she didn't even need to wear a down jacket when she went out. She would not feel cold with just a sprint jacket.
The three people who had space slightly distributed the cold-proof clothes, personal items, and food to ensure that everyone had supplies that were easily accessible, and most of the rest were placed in Youxi and You Zhenzhen's space.
Tang Yatong still had nothing but envy. She finally took out the large mountaineering bag she had just bought and prepared to pack a large backpack with all the supplies, and then temporarily put it in Youxi. In case of any emergency, she could take the backpack and go alone.
They arrived at Bainiao Lake around one or two in the afternoon. After finishing all the work, it was almost dark outside the hotel, and fine snowflakes were falling outside.
There were several different restaurants in the hotel. They finally chose the self-service barbecue restaurant on the second floor. On such a snowy day, there was nothing more joyful than sitting around the barbecue and grilling some lamb skewers, chicken wings, pork cartilage, eggplant, scallops, leeks, corn...
The grill rack rotates automatically, and you just need to put the numbered food on it. They sat near the glass window, eating barbecue and drinking drinks. At the same time, they did not forget to call the waiter and ordered three or four thousand yuan worth of raw barbecue skewers and matching barbecues for them to pack up, saying that they would be used for camping later and would be taken away after the meal.
The guests spent money happily, and the waiter was also very happy. Later, he brought them a lot of fruits, saying that they were sent by the store manager.
When the four people in Youxi were about to finish their dinner, they saw Lu Yong and his group again. After hearing that they sat down, Youxi directly asked the waiter to bring 50 servings of all the barbecue skewers on the menu, which showed their revenge eating and drinking.
From their conversation, Youxi knew that they also stayed in this hotel, not because of the plants, but simply chose the hotel with the highest star rating in the entire scenic area.
When Youxi and his team left, they did not greet each other. In fact, the other party saw them early in the morning when they entered the restaurant, but they chose to keep their distance from each other.
Although the two teams had met more than once, they were all travelers after all, and they were not immune to harm. No one would feel safe if they were too close. Just nodding when they met and not doing anything to frame each other was the best way for them to get along.
Before You Zhenzhen went upstairs to her room, she took Youxi to the hotel supermarket and bought several large bags of snacks and leisure and entertainment products.
Lin Wu and Tang Yatong took the waiter of the barbecue restaurant and a large cart of foam boxes to the parking lot, and moved the purchased raw barbecue skewers and other things onto the battery car. After the other party left, Lin Wu quickly moved the boxes into the space.
After Lin Wu and Tang Yatong returned to the room and took a shower, they found that You Xi and You Zhenzhen had returned. In addition to a bunch of food, they also added a large bag of entertainment supplies.
There were poker cards, flying machines, checkers, gobang... and a mahjong set in the bag.
Tang Yatong: ...? ?
You Zhenzhen put the mahjong set on the square table in the living room and said seriously: "We are free anyway, let's play mahjong together while watching the local news on TV?"
Lin Wu: ...
Until this moment, Lin Wu truly realized: You Zhenzhen...is indeed You Xi's daughter!
In this way, the four people in You Xi temporarily turned on the low-carbon task (duration) (holiday) mode.
In the next two or three days, they walked up and down the mountain every day, bought some things they needed, and paid attention to the situation of the site.
But the situation of the B-level site will not deteriorate so quickly, and the surroundings have been calm for the past few days.
On the morning of the fourth day, after they woke up, they found that it was snowing heavily outside, which was much heavier than the snow that occasionally fell for one or two hours before.
Through the glass, I can clearly hear the northwest wind howling outside.
