Lin's father reacted quickly, "Xiaoyu, you and Xiaonian, move all the firewood to the living room. Wife, you and Ranran, put all the clothes inside. I'll drive the car into the garage."
"good!"
The group carried everything from the yard back to the living room in an orderly fashion. A thin layer of snow had already covered the cement floor.
Back inside, the group went up to the third floor. The sunroom had long been converted into a small vegetable garden by Lin's father, and the seedlings were growing very well, lush and green.
The small staircase leading to the rooftop is in the sunroom. Once you reach the top, looking out into the distance, the entire base is covered in white snow, like a sleeping elf.
Lin's father took a deep breath, the icy air rushing into his mouth and nose. "Alright, let's go back! Don't catch a cold."
Back in the living room, Lin Yu lit the fireplace, and the warmth quickly warmed the room. The thermometer on the wall showed around 25 degrees Celsius, and he didn't feel cold even wearing thin pajamas.
Lin's mother made everyone a cup of milk tea. After drinking the milk tea, the coldness in their bodies was dispelled.
With nothing else to do, Lin Anran took the mahjong table out of her spatial dimension and played mahjong and cards for a while. The projector was also constantly playing TV, making it quite lively.
By evening, the snow outside had reached ankle height, and what was once a small snowflake had turned into large, feathery snowflakes falling down.
What goes best with a snowy day? Hot pot and barbecue, of course!
I've been very busy lately, and I've been eating food that Lin Anran has stocked up on in her space. Lin's father plans to show off his culinary skills tonight.
The hot pot was bubbling and steaming, the familiar half-and-half pot, with various ingredients laid out on the table: tripe, duck blood, duck intestines, beef rolls, lamb rolls, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, tofu skin...
The barbecue grill was also placed on the table; this self-sufficient lifestyle was simply too comfortable.
While grilling the steaks, Lin's father looked up and asked, "How well-done do you want them? Do you want them spicy?"
Lin Yu: "Spicy, spicy, I want it medium-rare."
Lin Anran: "Me too!"
Apart from Lin's mother and Gu Chen, who cannot eat spicy food, the rest of the people are all spicy food lovers.
Jiang Qinian and Lin Yu were having a good time tonight, so they drank with their father, while Gu Chen drank juice with Lin's mother and Lin Anran.
A bite of meat followed by a sip of juice—there's nothing more satisfying than this.
It was getting late, and everyone became lazy, leaving the dining table in a mess. We'll clean it up tomorrow.
Gu Chen was persuaded by Lin Yu to sleep in the same room with him, as the two had a lot in common about single-player games.
After Dahei and Tuantuan finished their Manchu Han Imperial Feast, they lay in their nest and fell fast asleep.
Lying flat on the soft bed, Lin Anran felt the coldness of the person next to her and fell asleep comfortably.
Each room had heating and electric heaters, making it so comfortable that you could hardly keep your eyes open.
In the middle of the night, a crunching sound came from outside the window, like the sound of footsteps on snow.
Lin Anran is a light sleeper. When she opened her eyes, she met Jiang Qinian's deep gaze from close range.
"What are you doing?"
"Someone's there!"
The two sneaked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and ten people entered their yard!
Lin Anran tiptoed out of the room, waking up Lin Yu and Gu Chen next door. Lin's parents also came out of the house.
Lin's mother yawned, "You heard that too?"
Lin Yu was completely bewildered. He had just fallen asleep and was having a dream when he was forcibly woken up. "What was that sound? What are you talking about?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Lin's father glared at the oblivious Lin Yu with disdain.
"Ranran, what should we do?"
Everyone looked at Lin Anran, who seemed to be deep in thought, waiting for her to give an order.
"Let's remain still and see what they're up to."
So one person took a cup of hot tea and waited at the door.
A group of people outside the gate walked around the courtyard, trembling with fear.
One of the men, with snot frozen on his face, stomped his foot in frustration, "How are we supposed to get in? It's so cold! Is this even going to work?!"
They were already wearing several layers of clothing, but they were still shivering from the cold. If the captain hadn't insisted that they come to scavenge for supplies, they would all be sleeping in warm beds right now.
"If all else fails, just smash it open!" The muscular man with strength-based superpowers couldn't wait to speak.
The man with glasses adjusted his glasses. "No! It will alert them. I heard they've also formed a squad, and they won't be easy to deal with."
Snotty-nosed guy: "This won't work, that won't work, what should I do? I'm freezing to death!"
The bespectacled man ignored the snotty-nosed man who was raging. He looked up and saw that the only way to break through was in the sunroom on the third floor.
He instructed the man walking at the back, "Xiao Fan! Come here."
"What's wrong, Brother Shuo!"
The bespectacled man pointed to the sunroom on the third floor, "Could you bring the rattan over there?"
Xiao Fan looked up, a vague unease creeping into his heart. "Not necessarily, Brother Shuo! It's too high."
"Give it a try! This time it all depends on you!"
Xiao Fan, on whom high hopes were placed, nodded firmly. A faint green light flickered in his hand. The vine could no longer move after reaching the second floor, and fine sweat appeared on his forehead.
"We're here! We're here!"
Upon receiving the answer, Xiao Fan collapsed to the ground. He had exhausted too much of his superpower this time, and it wouldn't be able to be repaired in a short time.
The snotty-nosed man and the muscular man took the lead, climbing up the arm-thick vines. When they reached the second floor, the vines began to sway and shake, as if they were about to break at any moment.
When he reached the second-floor window, the muscular man pressed his face against it, trying to make out the layout inside, but because of the privacy film, he couldn't see anything.
Lin Yu suddenly opened the window from the inside: "Hello! Good evening, everyone!"
"ah--"
With a scream, the snotty-nosed man and the muscular man fell down together. Luckily, the snow on the ground was thick enough, otherwise they would definitely have been half crippled.
Lin Yu yawned slightly. "Why don't you knock before coming to our house? Is this your custom here?"
The snotty-nosed man cursed angrily, "Damn it! You almost killed me! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
"Huh? No way! You're angry? You broke into my house first, and I'm not even angry yet!"
Lin Anran also opened the living room door from the first floor. "Xiaoyu, you're so inconsiderate. How could you let a guest get hurt? They've come to our home as guests, why don't you invite them inside?"
Lin Yu hung his head, "I'm sorry, sister, I was wrong."
The bespectacled man watched the family's act with suspicion. He couldn't go in; there was definitely something fishy going on!
He secretly signaled to the others to retreat, but Lin Anran didn't want them to leave easily.
She wrapped the rattan cane around the thigh that was moving away. "Are you leaving already? Did I say you could leave? Won't you come in for a cup of tea?"
The muscular man's veins bulged as he desperately tore at the vines binding his legs, but the strength in his legs grew increasingly tight, and blood circulation began to stagnate.
Lin Ma's ice spikes struck everyone's legs or arms, causing them to grimace and beg for mercy in pain.
