As soon as everyone walked out of the forest, they saw snowflakes all over the sky.

The amount of snowfall is no less than the last "moderate snow".

But Cao Xing knew that this was just the beginning.

The snowfall will continue to get heavier.

So Cao Xing quickly ordered, "Let's go, hurry back as soon as possible."

After saying this, he controlled Dabai to move forward at a very fast speed.

“Moo—”

The mammoths began to run wildly.

Like a high-speed train, it will smash everything along the way!

Wally next to him ran at an equally astonishing speed.

Every time its sturdy bear claws landed on the snow, they would create a big hole and leave a large bear paw print.

Even the best hunters would not dare to track such a powerful beast.

Soon, the group was heading away from the Witch Forest in the wind and snow.

Cao Xing found that as time passed, the scale of snowfall continued to increase.

And it was accompanied by an unpredictable cold wind.

“Hoo—Hoo—”

A strong cold wind swept through.

Sitting on Dabai's back, Cao Xing not only felt his body heat being lost rapidly, but he even felt like he was about to be blown away!

He quickly grabbed the hair on Dabai's back.

In the team, a few new archers following behind were struggling to resist the wind and snow while moving forward with difficulty.

Seeing this, Cao Xing frowned and ordered, "Everyone, slow down. Braun, go to the left side of the team and try to help our team members block the strong wind."

"Assam, you go to the right side of the team."

After hearing this, Braum patted his chest and said, "Okay, Lord, let the strong Braum protect you!"

Many people began to take action.

“Hoo—Hoo—”

The strong cold wind continued to howl.

Cao Xing glanced at the two little girls on Wally's back and reminded them, "Elisa, Xiao Chuchu, lie on Wally's back and remember to hold on to his fur tightly."

After hearing this, the two girls did as they were told without hesitation.

They lay on Wally's broad back like two little wombats.

Cao Xing also quickly dialed Ilena's communication channel.

“Sizzle…sizzle…”

The sound of electricity was heard, and the signal was also disturbed due to the blizzard.

However, we can still communicate.

Cao Xing said quickly, "Ilena, notify all the people working outside to return to the territory as soon as possible."

"Everyone else, prepare to resist the blizzard."

Hearing the vague voice coming from the headset, Ilena quickly replied, "Yes, Lord."

"Please be careful outside."

After saying that, Ilena notified everyone immediately.

Everything is arranged.

Next, Cao Xing began to resist the blizzard with all his strength while hurrying on his way.

According to the system's countdown, there were still 2 hours until dark.

But because of the weather, even the night seemed to come earlier.

The sky is getting darker, visibility is getting lower, and the wind and snow are getting stronger!

Fist-sized snowflakes fell from the sky as if they were free.

Not far.

A thick layer of snow had already accumulated on everyone's heads.

Cao Xing brushed off the snow on Dabai's body.

However, snowflakes are not the scariest thing.

The most terrifying thing is the increasingly strong winds and the increasingly low temperatures.

“Hoo—Hoo—”

As time went by, Cao Xing only felt a pair of invisible big hands constantly patting his body.

Cao Xing didn't know what level the wind was at right now, but it must have reached an extremely terrifying level!

He had already seen that the snow was mixed with various pieces of gravel and broken branches.

There was even a loud "boom" sound.

That was the sound of several snow-capped mountains collapsing in the distance.

Liu Muxue looked at the scene in front of her and whispered in Cao Xing's ear: "Oh my God... the weather in this world is too bad..."

Cao Xing also nodded and grabbed Dabai's hair tightly to prevent himself from being blown away.

At this time, the system prompt appears.

[Because the scope of this blizzard is too large, the power of the Ice Nest has been disturbed. While the blizzard continues, the Ice Nest will not continue to descend...]

See the system prompt.

At this moment, cheers were heard on the chat channel.

Cheng Qingsong: "Great! Fortunately, the ice nest was disturbed. Otherwise, with such a big blizzard, we would have to resist the weather and fight against the ice nest monsters. We would have no chance of survival!"

Ling Tingzhang: "You're right, luckily the system didn't treat us too harshly, otherwise our whole family would be finished tonight!"

Bi Xishan: "Fuck! This blizzard is too bad! It blew down my sentry tower and almost killed me!"

Wei Sui: "The vegetable greenhouse I built with great difficulty was blown away. My seeds!!!"

Qiao Jialong: "This is really outrageous. I feel that this time, all the territories that have not built city walls will definitely suffer serious damage."

Zhu Xin: "Yes, even if we can survive this time, the various buildings we have built with great difficulty will be destroyed, and the progress will be slowed down again."

"Brothers, after this snowstorm, I will do my best to build the wall!"

…

Liu Muxue also saw the discussion in the chat channel and couldn't help but admire Cao Xing's foresight again.

You know, not only did they build the city walls a long time ago, they also upgraded them all to the intermediate level!

A wall of this level can definitely withstand severe weather such as blizzards.

Thinking of this, Liu Muxue sat behind Cao Xing and hugged his waist tightly.

Half an hour later...

The group finally returned to the territory in the blizzard.

now.

Four or five [lighthouses] stood firm in the wind and snow to provide guidance for the citizens who were going out.

Looking at the light before their eyes, everyone had happy smiles on their faces.

This feeling is indescribable, it's like finally returning home after a day of running around outside.

For everyone, this territory is their safe haven.

Bron danced excitedly, but because the wind was too strong, Cao Xing couldn't hear what he said.

Soon, they arrived at the foot of the city wall.

The city gates were opened wide and people poured in.

Returned to the territory smoothly.

The moment they returned to the territory, everyone felt that the howling cold wind suddenly subsided a lot.

Snowflakes fell into the territory and were quickly melted by the heat from the [Level 15 Furnace].

It seems like a world independent of the snowstorm.

Braum laughed and said, "Haha, our territory is still as magical as ever. Now we don't have to worry about the threat of blizzards!"

Everyone nodded.

However, there is no one outside the territory now.

Because they had all hidden inside the building according to Cao Xing's instructions.

Cao Xing quickly gave the order: "Elisa, take these new members and arrange a place for them to rest."

"Chu Chu, go find your mother quickly, and then hide in your room and don't come out."

"Everyone else, return to your rooms."

Upon hearing the order, everyone followed it and then quickly dispersed.

Cao Xing also brought Liu Muxue and went straight to the door of the lord's cottage.

"call--"

As soon as the door of the hut was opened, the hot air inside rushed in.

The two of them rushed in immediately.

Then, Cao Xing suddenly pulled the door of the lord's hut and closed it with a bang.

In an instant, the windy and snowy day outside was blocked out.

Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew... good fellow, you're finally back!"

Liu Muxue beside him also said softly: "Yes, this weather is too scary..."

Just now, I was rushing through the snowstorm. The feeling of looking around and not being able to see the way forward was almost despairing.

Coupled with the terrifying wind force, if you are blown away, the consequences would be disastrous, making you feel just how insignificant you are in front of nature.

Even though Cao Xing was already a fourth-level warrior, he had no confidence that he could survive in such a blizzard.

Now, the moment I returned to the room, I felt a strong sense of security in my heart.

The two looked at each other and then laughed.

Cao Xing saw that Liu Muxue's head was covered with thick snow, looking like a hat.

His own shoulders and head were also covered with snow.

Liu Muxue first brushed off the snow on her head, then stood on tiptoe and brushed off the snow on Cao Xing's body.

At this moment, the temperature in the room is only 8℃.

There's no way. The cold wind outside is howling, taking away a lot of heat. The temperature is really too low.

Even though Cao Xing's lord's hut was equipped with a stove and heating pipes, the temperature could only be maintained at a comfortable level.

But it's okay, after all, the temperature here is positive.

The other survivors will be sad, and they will probably experience again the horrible cold that just came to this world.

Liu Muxue looked at Cao Xing's red hands and cheeks, and said softly, "Ah Xing, I'll go get some hot water ready. Can you come over and take a hot bath later?"

Cao Xing nodded, "Okay, thank you for your help."

Liu Muxue smiled gently, then turned and went into the bathroom.

“Blah…”

The sound of water continued to be heard.

After a while, the beauty poked her head out and said, "Ah Xing... the water is ready..."

"You can come over now."

"good."

Cao Xing said this and walked over.

There was hot steam in the bathroom, and a large wooden barrel in the middle.

Da Zhuang was a thoughtful guy and even made a wooden barrel for them to bathe in.

At this moment, the large wooden barrel was half filled with hot water, and a few pink petals were floating on the water.

Cao Xing was delighted, "Mu Xue, where did you get these petals?"

Liu Muxue lowered her head slightly and said shyly, "I saw these in the forest today. I thought these wild flowers were pretty, so I picked a few."

"Axing... let me help you take a bath..."

Her voice was soft and her cheeks were slightly red.

Cao Xing nodded, then opened his arms and allowed Liu Muxue to take off his armor.

Then, he was the first to enter the water, and instantly felt the warm water temperature, which dispelled the coldness from his body.

"call……"

Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a smile: "You know what, taking a hot bath in this snowstorm is really comfortable."

Hearing this, Liu Muxue next to her also smiled.

Then, she gently took off the [Ice Dragon Armor] on her body, revealing her fair skin.

And that perfect body proportion.

“Blah…”

Liu Muxue also entered the bathtub. She walked behind Cao Xing, wrapped her arms around him, and stuck close to him.

At this moment, Cao Xing only felt the warmth of the hot water and the softness behind him.

"Ah Xing...is the water temperature okay?"

"Yeah, it's good."

"That's good……"

Then, Liu Muxue gently rubbed Cao Xing's back, her soft little hands caressing his chest.

The movements seem a little unfamiliar.

Liu Muxue had no experience in scrubbing other people's backs, but she tried her best to make Cao Xing feel comfortable.

After a moment.

Whether intentionally or not, when Liu Muxue was scrubbing Cao Xing's back, her little hands gradually moved to his legs.

Liu Muxue seemed to have touched something. Her fair shoulders trembled slightly and there was a hint of shyness between her brows.

Then, Cao Xing turned around and looked at Liu Muxue.

He noticed that the beauty in front of him had half wet hair, lowered her head, and was embarrassed to look Cao Xing in the eye.

Like a lotus flower emerging from the water, it makes people unable to help but look at it and admire it.

Cao Xing can not only appreciate them, but also pick them...

"Mu Xue, let's go upstairs and rest."

Liu Muxue's cheeks turned slightly red, and she knew what was going to happen next.

I feel shy but also look forward to it.

She replied softly, "Yes... I'll do as you say..."

…

In a warm little house.

The sound of a woman's rapid breathing continued to be heard.

"Axing...Axing..."

"Um……"

At this moment, it is snowing outside.

The room was filled with the sweetness of lovemaking.

After a brief moment of peace, the beauty suddenly closed her eyes.

Then, like a swan pulling its neck, it raised its head.

After a long and ethereal charming sound, Liu Muxue collapsed directly into Cao Xing's arms.

She said in a soft and weak voice like a whisper: "Ah Xing... you seem to be getting better and better..."

The love in his voice could not be concealed.

Cao Xing stroked her hair gently, and then said, "Mu Xue, you must be tired. Take a good rest."

The beauty's face was rosy at this time, and she was very obedient to Cao Xing.

"Um……"

After saying that, she fell asleep peacefully in his arms.

Cao Xing was looking at the howling wind and snow outside the window and did not go to sleep immediately.

Instead, I am thinking about the next plan.

…

At night...

Just as the weather forecast said, the night temperature reached -79℃!

This was the cruelest day that all the survivors had ever experienced since entering this world, no less cruel than the first day they came into this world.

Even though most people have built houses and improved their physical fitness.

But this kind of low temperature is still unbearable.

The chat channel was filled with wailing.

Zhou Yifeng: "It's cold! It's so damn cold! The wind is so strong that the stove in the room seems to be useless!"

Shen Ying: "Yeah, I even burned wood in the room, but it was still too cold."

Shen Shigan: "Brothers, let me teach you a method. Gather all the people in the territory together and keep them in one room to keep warm. This will increase the temperature a lot. Now we don't need to worry about anything. Saving our lives is the most important thing!"

Yue Jian: "Can someone give me some quilts or some cotton-padded jackets? I'll pay 600 Ice Dragon Marks for a cotton-padded jacket and 1,000 Ice Dragon Marks for a quilt. I'm almost freezing to death!"

"And me, I want to buy some quilts too!"

"Forget about it, you guys upstairs. Who would sell such warm clothes? Besides, it's snowing so hard to even leave the lord's hut and go to the market to sell things!"

I have to say, what this person said makes a lot of sense.

The prices of warm clothing remain high even in normal times.

It is normal for a cotton coat to sell for 50 Ice Dragon Marks and a quilt to sell for 100 Ice Dragon Marks.

It may not seem like much, but you have to know that 100g of purple beast meat can only be sold for about 100 Ice Dragon Marks.

These cotton clothes and quilts are just ordinary white items. It is outrageous that they can be sold at this price!

And in such windy and snowy days, the prices of these warm clothes have been driven up by more than 10 times.

This has led many survivors to want to take advantage of this opportunity.

However, they did not even have enough warm clothes for themselves, so how could they have any extra to consign?

Seeing the chat channel, Cao Xing was thoughtful.

He glanced at his backpack.

I have quite a lot of various cotton clothes and furs stored.

The last time we went to that village, we looted more than 300 sets of cotton clothes. When we killed the rangers, we could occasionally strip the clothes off their bodies.

Plus the batch of rabbit fur processed by Xia Yanni.

There are a total of 672 sets of cotton clothes.

Moreover, he also has 7 sets of cloud-colored yak clothes that can store heat, which are comparable to divine artifacts in this world environment.

Obviously, this is an extremely staggering amount of wealth!

Cao Xing thought for a moment, "Because of the blizzard, this kind of warm clothing has been sold at a very high price, which is completely higher than the purple quality beast meat."

"I definitely can't sell the Yuncai tees I have, but... I can sell about 500 of the ordinary cotton-padded clothes, and I'll keep the rest for my own use."

"500 sets. Even if we sell them at the price of 600 Ice Dragon Marks per set, I think there will be many people who will buy them."

"That is to say, if I can sell all these cotton clothes, I can earn at least 300,000 Ice Dragon Marks!"

Cao Xing was startled for a moment and was shocked by the number he calculated!

"Oh my god, this is really scary. You can exchange it for 3 golden treasure chests!"

Although these 500 sets of cotton clothes sound like a lot.

But compared to a golden chest, it's nothing.

After all, these are just some basic supplies, and if converted into crowns, they would only cost a few dozen crowns each at most.

However, most of the survivors do not have Cao Xing's opportunities and strength.

So this gave him the opportunity to make a fortune!

"Okay, okay, I have to take this opportunity to sell my cotton coat!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing looked at the sleeping Liu Muxue and gently withdrew his arm.

Then he put his clothes back on.

At this moment, Cao Xing pushed open the door of the lord's hut.

Suddenly, a terrifying cold wind blew, mixed with drifting snow.

"call--"

Cao Xing noticed that even in his own territory, there was a thick layer of snow.

All I could see was a vast expanse of white.

There's no way. Although the heat from the [Level 15 Furnace] is strong, the amount of snowfall in the blizzard is beyond imagination.

As those people said in the chat channel.

In this kind of weather, it is difficult to walk from the [Lord's Cottage] to the [Market].

Cao Xing shook his head.

"But, it's not a big deal if it's for the sake of making money."

So he wrapped his colorful yak coat tightly and quickly walked to the side of the market.

When you open the interface, a large amount of transaction information appears.

Cao Xing directly clicked on the [Consignment] function.

After setting the price and consignment quantity, I clicked confirm.

The next moment, a consignment information appeared in the market.

【Consignment items: Linen cotton clothing】

[Inventory reserve: 500]

[Required items: A set of 600 Ice Dragon Marks, or if you have special items, you can chat with me privately]

【Consignor: Cao Xing】

[Seller's note: The survivors of Area 174 will be given priority in trading. People from Wangjiang Pavilion will not be allowed to trade.]

…

Since most of the survivors were now huddled in the lord's hut to avoid the howling snow and wind outside, almost no one was paying attention to the market.

So, Cao Xing mentioned in the chat channel, "Everyone, I have put a batch of cotton clothes on the shelves. If you need them, you can go to the market to have a look."

The lively chat channel late at night fell into a moment of silence.

In fact, this was the first time Cao Xing spoke in the chat channel after the server merger.

The survivors immediately shouted in shock: "Fuck! Boss Cao Xing! Boss Cao Xing is alive!"

"Haha, we finally see Boss Cao Xing speak. Your power is unfathomable, and you never speak on the chat channel. We thought you were a native of this world."

"Yes, yes. Now it seems that Boss Cao Xing is also a Blue Star survivor like us."

"Brothers, have you seen it? The boss said that a batch of cotton clothes have been put on the shelves. If you need them, hurry up and grab them!"

After hearing this person's reminder, the other survivors realized something.

Late at night, a large group of people rushed out of the lord's cabin in the violent snowstorm.

Then I clicked directly into the market.

"Oh my god, there are 500 sets of cotton clothes. You are worthy of being the boss Cao Xing. You can even take out so many supplies at once."

"Yeah, it's just that the price is a bit high, more than ten times the usual price."
