"Are you going to collect the trees from the mountain?" Zhou Pin asked.
"Well, I'll also collect some saplings. The temperature is getting lower and lower, and it would be a shame if the saplings froze to death."
"Tell Lao Liu that we won't be buying supplies from them for a while. Let's take a look around the nearby mountains."
"Alright."
After finishing their meal, the two discussed their next plan. They stopped practicing after the meal and headed straight to the timber processing plant. They hadn't brought the two little ones with them last time, but this time they did, and the little ones were overjoyed.
After skating for 20 minutes, we arrived at the timber processing plant. We skipped the workshop and went directly up the mountain, where there were common trees such as ash, birch, beech, elm, and pine.
Zhou Pin used a chainsaw to cut down the trees, and Xu Lin stored them in her spatial storage. They harvested one tree every ten minutes, and by noon they had collected twenty trees. At noon, the two went to the nearest workshop for lunch.
"This speed is too slow," Xu Lin said while eating.
“Let’s look carefully; this factory should have logging trucks,” Zhou Pin said.
After finishing their meal, the two didn't immediately go logging; instead, they walked around the factory. Finally, they found a peculiar yard on the other side of the mountain, where a logging truck was parked.
Xu Lin was especially happy, finally able to improve efficiency. Zhou Pin drove Xu Lin to collect timber, and when they saw saplings, they dug them up. In one afternoon, they collected over a hundred trees.
They didn't kill them all; they left a few hundred trees on the mountain and went home.
Over the next few days, the two went to the nearby mountains to collect various saplings and timber. There was a processing plant on one of the mountains, which contained valuable timber. It was Shuke who discovered it, and Xu Lin's smile stretched from ear to ear.
"It's already -50°C, we won't be able to go out soon," Zhou Pin said. "What are your plans?"
"I'm planning to exercise at home and cook some delicious food." Xu Lin's eyelashes were covered in frost, which made her even more beautiful, especially with her bright eyes.
"Call me when the time comes." Zhou Pin didn't miss any opportunity to get close to Xu Lin.
"Do you have any supplies to invest in? Otherwise, I won't take you along," Xu Lin joked with a grin.
"I'll take you another day," Zhou Pin said with a smile.
The two walked and talked to each other to avoid freezing and being unable to walk. As they walked, they both looked up at the same time. In the middle of the road stood eight men holding machetes and axes.
"Leave the supplies and the woman behind, and we'll spare your life," one of them said to Zhou Pin, while the others leered at Xu Lin.
In the past few days, the two of them had been dragging two bundles of wood back home to cover their tracks, but they didn't expect that this would attract their attention. It seems that the survivors have run out of supplies, otherwise they wouldn't even spare the wood.
"Let me do it. It'll be a good opportunity to test the results of our training." Xu Lin drew her Tang sword and slashed directly at her opponent.
Zhou Pin pulled the eager Shuke and Beta to stand aside and watch. Xu Lin didn't use any fancy moves; she directly slashed at the shoulder of the person who had spoken. The blade was so fast that the entire arm was severed. Before the others could react, Xu Lin turned around and chopped off the thigh of another person next to her.
"ah!"
"ah!"
Two screams brought the others to their senses, and they all raised their machetes and axes. Xu Lin, without fear, slashed at the arm with one blade and at the leg with the other.
A few minutes later, all eight men were missing limbs. In this kind of weather, with broken arms and legs, a person certainly wouldn't survive. Xu Lin felt no remorse. If it weren't for her good skills, she and Zhou Pin would have been the ones who didn't survive. Therefore, being merciful to the enemy was being cruel to herself.
Xu Lin put away her knife, walked up to Zhou Pin, picked up the rope that had been thrown on the ground, and together with Zhou Pin, dragged the log back.
