Chapter 170 Winter is Coming
Soon, it had been a month since the end of the world, and winter had begun in Sikun Mountain.
There were no signs.
Yang Zengyue gave all the food that had been stored in the village to the surviving villagers.
Everyone got the same portion, which was placed in their space.
It should be able to hold out until the ice and snow melt.
From mid-November to the end of May, they have six months without sunlight.
Most of the native plants in Zhongwei have died, and the remaining ones are all foreign plants that do not need sunlight to survive.
These alien plants will only increase in number.
And after the ice and snow melt, the ferocious beasts will appear and the battle will truly begin.
Yang Zengyue was not worried about the long period of ice and snow because she and Chen Jiaer were extremely well prepared.
However, Fan Jinggang and the others’ abilities must be improved as soon as possible.
Otherwise, they would have a hard time enduring such extreme cold weather.
The wind turbines in Fenggu were successfully connected after Jiang Huiyong arrived, and they are now able to use electricity.
However, wind power generation will definitely be affected by the arrival of extreme cold weather. For the safety of the equipment, Yang Zengyue plans to suspend power supply.
While the weather is not too cold yet, Yang Zengyue organized people to go into Sikun Mountain, cut down some branches of tall trees, and asked people with fire-attributed abilities to dry the branches.
They also built earthen kilns for burning charcoal, planning to burn dozens of kilns of charcoal and store it.
She and Chen Jiaer had purchased some charcoal and put it in the space before, but because fewer people were burning charcoal in recent years, they didn't save much.
Yang Zengyue, Fan Jinggang and others studied the earthen kilns that were previously used for burning charcoal in the village, and imitated them to make a dozen of their own.
Working overtime, the charcoal produced should be enough for them to use during the winter.
The charcoal burning was quite successful. After it was burned, Yang Zengyue distributed a portion to each person.
Jiang Zexun and Li Chengwen were busy improving their abilities and did not participate in the whole process, so Yang Zengyue simply ignored them.
After seeing that everyone had charcoal, Jiang Zexun's face became as black as the bottom of a pot.
He had no choice but to go into the mountains and chop firewood after Yang Zengyue and the others finished making the charcoal.
However, neither he nor Li Chengwen knows how to do it.
No one else in the village took the initiative to teach him, and the two were completely excluded by Fan Jinggang and others.
Li Chengwen and Jiang Zexun just saw Yang Zengyue and others busy burning charcoal, and guessed that it would be cold in winter, but they didn't expect it to be so cold.
Since the charcoal was not burned successfully, Jiang Zexun went to the mountains alone to cut a lot of firewood and stored it, thinking that he could use it as a fire to burn during the winter.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zexun and the others stopped bothering with burning charcoal.
During this period, Yang Zengyue asked Bai Zheng to go to Nanyuan to find out about Shi Rongchuan and his mother, and to deliver a letter to them.
Bai Zheng strolled around and found Shi Rongchuan who was repairing the base at the Yunmang Mountain base.
After giving him the letter, Shi Rongchuan immediately wrote back and asked Bai Zheng to take it back to Sikun Mountain.
After learning that Shi Rongchuan and his mother were safe, Yang Zengyue felt that he had accomplished a great thing and relaxed a lot.
Yang Zengyue and others were busy for more than a week, and the weather was getting colder and colder.
It hurts to stretch out my hand.
Numb and cold.
The temperature dropped to the lowest value in Kunshan's history, minus 20 degrees Celsius.
You should know that the temperature around Sikun Mountain does not change much throughout the year. During the coldest winter, the lowest temperature at the foot of the mountain is above zero.
The current temperature is a direct life-threatening challenge for survivors who lack warming facilities.
Yang Zengyue asked everyone to chop a lot of firewood, which they could use to keep warm and cook after the extremely cold weather.
Jiang Zexun and Li Chengwen followed suit and at least saved some firewood.
Yang Zengyue led the survivors to do various tasks in Sikunshan in an orderly manner.
Busy as a top.
At the same time, after Yang Zengyue mastered the method of drawing qi into the body, he began to teach Jiuxiao and the others the mantra left by Lu Xingyun, asking them to practice according to this method in their spare time.
Chen Jiaer and Luo Haobai watched Yang Zengyue's demonstration curiously, not understanding what the spiritual energy in the air was.
Yang Zengyue’s own understanding is that the essence exists in the air, and these essences can increase the speed, strength and other aspects of supernatural powers.
Yang Zengyue said: "Jia'er, that unique smell in the air is the reason for the emergence of supernatural powers, it is spiritual energy."
If the survivors cannot withstand the spiritual energy, they will explode and die.
If the body cannot transform the incoming spiritual energy, it will die. Only by enduring all the pain after the spiritual energy enters the body can it gain superpowers.
This is what Yang Zengyue summarized.
Chen Jiaer looked as if she understood but didn't quite understand: "Spiritual energy is used to consolidate and enhance superpowers?"
"You could also say that. Also, spiritual energy is an opportunity left to us by Patriarch Xingyun, an opportunity to cultivate."
The practice that Yang Zengyue mentioned was in the true sense, not the kind of secluded practice before Jiuxiao.
Luo Haobai: "So, we can also go to another world through practice like our ancestors?"
Yang Zengyue nodded: "As long as I reach a certain level of strength in the future, it will only be a matter of time before I go to another world."
Bai Zheng had said this before.
Because Bai Zheng, Jiu Huan, Yi, and the twelve are all trying hard to return to their original world.
They can leave, of course they can.
Chen Jiaer clasped his hands together excitedly: "Does this mean that the power of cultivation can conquer the sea of stars?"
She remembered the formation in the air. Since spiritual energy has such a great use, then if the other party can drive the stars, they can conquer the stars and the sea!
"In theory, it should be possible." Yang Zengyue said conservatively.
This was already shocking. Chen Jiaer no longer cared about anything else and wanted to give it a try immediately.
Jiang Huiyong didn't understand what they were talking about, so he just listened silently. It seemed like they were talking about some method of cultivation...
He was thinking about the spiritual energy that Yang Zengyue mentioned. When he gained supernatural powers, he did find that there was something extra in his body.
So, is that aura?
Then how can we transform spiritual energy into supernatural powers and use it for our own benefit?
Jiuxiao and the others watched Yang Zengyue demonstrate how to draw Qi into the body and found the process very magical.
After the spiritual energy was introduced into his body, Yang Zengyue's body glowed slightly. There was a layer of blue light like ice crystals around him, reflecting dazzling rays of light.
It looks beautiful, yet a little weird.
After a while, Yang Zengyue activated his special ability, and a strange plant broke out of the ground.
He pestered Yang Zengyue, and put his face close to hers, as if he was acting coquettishly.
The level of the alien plant directly reached level five, which Jiuxiao and the others had never seen before.
You know, now their abilities are still hovering around level two, and there is still some distance to the peak of level two.
What is the concept of level five?
Jiuxiao and Zhibaixiao are eager to try.
Zhi Baixiao walked over to Yang Zengyue with a smile: "Zengyue, can we all use this method?"
Yang Zengyue nodded: "This is my own summary. It works very well for me. You can refer to it. However, everyone's perception is different. Perhaps you will have a better way."
If there is a better way, we can discuss it together then.
She has only found this stupid but effective method so far, and the results are quite good.
After she successfully drew the Qi into her body, the level of her supernatural powers broke through again.
Jiuxiao and Zhibaixiao planned to go back to their room to try it out, but Yang Zengyue didn't dare let them figure it out on their own. Instead, he asked the five of them to practice in the living room one by one.
She was worried that if she failed to guide the air into the body during the process, it would lead to an irreparable situation.
Also, you cannot be disturbed while guiding the Qi into the body, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted.
The superpowers will most likely disappear as well.
So she had to keep an eye on them.
After listening to Yang Zengyue's words, although everyone felt that it was a great challenge, they did not back down.
This is an opportunity, an opportunity to reach the pinnacle of strength and glimpse another world.
If they succeed, their lives will be completely changed; if they fail, the five of them didn't think about this question.
They are determined to succeed!
Jiuxiao started first, with Yang Zengyue giving careful guidance from the side.
It was not until an hour later that Jiuxiao successfully drew the energy into his body. There was a layer of golden light around his body, which was different from Yang Zengyue's.
Seeing this, Yang Zengyue had the answer in his mind. This layer of light was related to their respective superpowers.
The light around the body will correspond to the attribute of the supernatural power.
Her strongest hidden attribute is water, so there is a layer of blue light like ice crystals around her body, and the green light of the wood attribute is blocked.
With the method Yang Zengyue experimented with, others were able to successfully draw Qi into their bodies.
All the time of the day was spent on practicing this. Yang Zengyue saw that the five people had changed a lot, and a heavy stone in his heart fell.
Remind everyone that there must be someone watching over them when practicing, otherwise don't practice.
Because you have to be wary of many things, people, objects, and alien plants.
After Yang Zengyue taught him the method, Chen Jiaer stayed alone indoors for several days.
After trying it several times, I finally felt that Yang Zengyue's method was the right one.
There are really no shortcuts in this world, so it’s better to start from scratch.
The two old men, Jiuxiao and Zhibaixiao, have felt that their bodies have changed a lot recently. Not only are they as light as a swallow, but their sensitivity has also greatly improved.
The skin on my face has become moisturized and there is no sign of aging.
It's really amazing.
They both could feel that their bodies were no longer aging. They had no idea that the cultivation mantras left by Master Xingyun were so powerful!
Jiuxiao and Zhibaixiao have been in a state of excitement. Who wouldn't want to live a long life?
Jiuxiao even discovered that he had made a breakthrough in the art of formation. He could now see the key points of the formation and choose positions more accurately and skillfully.
In addition, his magic weapon seemed to be communicating with his mind.
And knowing all of this, his understanding of divination became deeper.
The nine chess-piece-like magical instruments he obtained from the underground palace showed signs of improvement.
Yang Zengyue compared the characters on the chess piece with the explanation left by Lu Xingyun, and only then did he understand the meaning of these nine characters.
They are: Yuan, Ming, Heaven, Wind, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
It can actually correspond to the various supernatural attributes that appear after the end of the world.
As for its function, it remains to be discovered.
Knowing all is enough.
With this magical weapon, and the cultivation mantras given by his ancestors, how far he can go in the future depends entirely on himself.
He never thought that he would have such an opportunity in his life, so he was grateful for every training session.
Luo Haobai has been studying hard since the end of the world, without wasting a single minute.
If he didn't understand something, he would ask Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer. The two of them were very careful and told Luo Haobai everything they knew without hiding anything.
Chen Jiaer knew what Yang Zengyue was thinking.
In this apocalypse, they cannot turn the tide with their own strength. They need more strength and must come together to become the winners in the end of this disaster.
They will encounter extremely powerful enemies in the future, and those people's realm is not something they can look up to now.
From Bai Zheng and Yi's words, they learned that there were other worlds, and that all those worlds were eyeing them covetously.
Because of Lu Xingyun!
Therefore, they must do their best to gather all the strength that Zhongwei can exert.
And it must be a positive force.
Only then can they completely regain control of Zhongwei.
Otherwise, Zhongwei would probably become a piece of cake for these people.
They will lose their homes.
No one wants their home to be invaded, and Yang Zengyue is no exception.
After the end of the world came, Fan Jinggang and his friends gradually understood the situation they would face in the future.
There was no need for Yang Zengyue to say anything, everyone was working hard silently.
They turned the pain of losing their family members into strength, and revenge for their dead family members became the motivation that kept them alive.
Yang Zengyue also worked very hard. Apart from daily construction, he spent all his time on cultivation.
The strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
The changes in Jiuxiao and Zhibaixiao were noticed by Li Chengwen and Jiang Zexun.
Li Chengwen privately asked Jiang Zexun about the secret of Si Kunshan again. This time, she was very sure that Yang Zengyue had some secret skills!
She must get it.
The fact that she has the secret to maintaining her youthful appearance is enough to make Li Chengwen excited.
Jiang Zexun has been training day and night these days and has finally caught up with Fan Jinggang and the others. However, he thinks it is still not enough.
I have to work hard quietly.
And winter finally arrived on a quiet night.
The heavy snow fell like pear blossom needles in a rainstorm. In just a few minutes, a thick layer of snow accumulated on the ground.
The entire night sky was illuminated by white snow.
The four Kun Mountains were all covered in silver, and no trees could be seen.
Only the shape of the mountain can be seen.
After seeing the snow, Yang Zengyue told everyone not to go out anymore, because the snow was not as pure white as they saw.
Snow can kill.
Especially for those who have special powers, ordinary people are fine.
This is most likely the other party's counterattack after knowing that the survivors have gained superpowers.
Those people never showed up.
In other words, they have not yet been able to come into this world.
Yang Zengyue looked at the heavy snow falling from the sky. It had been snowing for a week and there was no sign of stopping.
She pulled her down jacket closer, took a breath, and turned to discuss with Jiuxiao and the others what they could do in this weather.
They could only stay in the house and avoid being touched by the snow. It seemed that there was nothing they could do except training.
Fortunately, they had made sufficient preparations in advance and received so many supplies from the Yan family, so they did not have to worry about food and clothing for the time being.
The environment was extremely harsh and the house was not spacious enough. Fortunately, when the extreme cold weather came, they managed to build a temporary place at the foot of the mountain for their training.
Yang Zengyue's gaze was still on the snow, thinking about how he and Chen Jiaer had survived. Although he would not have to go through that kind of hardship again, he would never forget it.
The same goes for Chen Jiaer.
Now that they are experiencing this severe cold again, comfort makes them feel at a loss.
Yang Zengyue said slowly: "Master, the snow may fall for a long time, we can't just sit and wait for death."
