Yes, these charcoal braziers were obtained by Xiao Jin and his companions when they killed a level 5 snow beast. There were thirty of them in total, and they also came with three hundred catties of special charcoal.
Products from the system are absolutely top-notch.
Each charcoal brazier only needs to have one piece of charcoal lit to raise the room temperature within its range; the more charcoal braziers that are lit, the higher the temperature will rise.
Moreover, a piece of charcoal can burn for a full 12 hours.
However, this thing also has a drawback.
That means that both the charcoal brazier and the charcoal come as a set, and if you try to use them separately, you won't achieve the desired heating effect.
There are about 1,500 people in the entire Black Tower, and there are about 300 rooms.
Logically speaking, the cubicles are small, only about ten square meters. If a charcoal brazier were placed inside, along with cold-proof wallpaper, floor mats, coats, and other warm clothing, there would definitely be no more cases of people freezing to death.
The truth is, they only had thirty of these things in total, which is less than a fraction of their total number.
Upon hearing Gao Ya's words, Jian Yiqiu's smile visibly froze, and he subconsciously looked at Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin wasn't as disappointed as Gao Ya, and raised her eyes to say, "It's not impossible that there won't be another one!"
"You have a plan?" He knew the little rascal had a trick up his sleeve but hadn't used it yet.
"Of course, we'll continue to obtain them from the snow beasts," Xiao Jin replied calmly. "You don't think the snow beast tide will only come once, do you?"
Jian Yiqiu's face was expressionless.
Thank you for your suggestion, but please don't mention it again!
Jian Yiqiu's face darkened: "Of course I know, and there will be more and more advanced snow beasts in the future."
"It might be four or five hundred today, a thousand tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow..."
"Hey, hey, hey!" Gao Ya quickly interrupted Jian Yiqiu, glaring at him and slapping the table: "I said you know about this, there's no need for us to say it out loud!"
"Let me tell you, I haven't eaten yet! If you say anything more that spoils the mood, believe me, I'll go on strike!"
Jian Yiqiu gave an awkward smile: "Alright! Never mind what I said."
He then stood up and said, "Let's go downstairs for dinner and see how busy they are."
To everyone's surprise, Gao Ya showed no intention of moving at all, but instead slowly took out three boxed lunches from her storage container.
"Here, have mine!" Gao Ya handed the boxed lunches to Xiao Jin and Jian Yiqiu, then opened one of the boxes and started eating.
"Hmm~ There's probably no food downstairs right now. Even if there is, it'll probably be cold. I'd rather not have the time to heat it up."
Gao Ya took out a boxed lunch sold in the system's shop, consisting of four dishes and rice, and it tasted pretty good. Since it was also a type of prop, it looked exactly the same when it was put into the space and when it came out.
The boxed lunch contains both meat and vegetables, and the rice is made of translucent, long-grained fragrant rice that is still piping hot to the touch!
Seeing Gao Ya eating heartily, Jian Yiqiu's throat bobbed; he was hungry too.
Turning to look at Xiao Jin, the little rascal had already started eating, his mouth stuffed full and his face almost buried in the lunchbox.
Anyway, Jian Yiqiu became more and more craving it.
Seemingly noticing Jian Yiqiu's gaze, Xiao Jin 'took a moment' to raise her eyelids.
"Eat quickly, it'll get cold soon." After saying that, Xiao Jin waved his hand, and a bowl of spicy soup and two roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers) appeared in front of Jian Yiqiu and Gao Ya.
"I have more here if you're not full. Eat up! I'll bring some to Shao Jing and the others after I finish eating!" Xiao Jin keenly sensed Jian Yiqiu's thoughts.
All right!
Since Xiao Jin had said so, Shao Jing and the others certainly wouldn't starve. Jian Yiqiu couldn't wait to take a sip of the spicy soup.
After swallowing the hot and spicy soup, Jian Yiqiu narrowed his eyes.
Mmm~ Delicious!
"Thanks, one box of rice isn't enough for me." Gao Ya looked up halfway through eating, her eyes crinkling at Xiao Jin's.
………………
After finishing their meal, Xiao Jin found Shao Jing and Cheng Ce as promised. The two of them were so busy that their lips had turned white.
Xiao Jin tapped the two men, handed them some food, and then shooed them away.
"Go eat first, leave this to me!"
"Waaaaah~ Xiao Jin, you're practically my second parents!"
Shao Jing, holding the hot food, almost knelt down before Xiao Jin.
Cheng Ce glanced at the insulated bag and was genuinely surprised when he saw the food inside: meat buns, braised pork ribs, spicy cod, and vegetable soup. Where did he get so much food at this time?
But then Cheng Ce thought to himself, it wasn't surprising that the person who took the things was his benefactor.
After only a moment of surprise, Cheng Ce decisively accepted, then pulled the playful Shao Jing over to go eat. Before leaving, he said to Xiao Jin, "Thank you for your help!"
"Go!" Xiao Jin took the statistics sheet from Cheng Ce's hand.
Good news.
After repelling the snow beasts on the ground, no more snow beasts attacked the prison until nightfall, not even the low-level snow beasts that usually appeared sporadically.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone used the large amount of supplies they had just received to reinforce the Black Tower or distribute them to others.
As usual, Jian Yiqiu tidied up the bodies of the survivors who died fighting the snow beasts.
If it can be pieced together, then piece it together; stuff any protruding intestines and internal organs back in; and finally sew it up with a needle.
As for the missing parts that are not visible, such as arms, legs, and internal organs, you can stuff them in with clothes or something similar to create a rough shape.
At least from the outside, it looks like a whole corpse.
As for the bodies that could barely be salvaged, Jian Yiqiu prioritized their families, distributing more supplies as a form of solace.
Of course, for every good news there is bad news.
Jian Yiqiu did not hide the fact that the snow beast tide would continue to attack the shelter, since some clever survivors could guess that.
If you deliberately conceal it, it will only cause trouble.
After a moment of panic, the survivors regained their composure.
Since things have already come to this point, let things take their course. It's just a snow beast tide; they've killed them before.
If you can win once, you can win a second time.
So that evening, Jian Yiqiu specially asked Shao Jing to open the warehouse and prepare extra meals for everyone, including roasted whole lamb, beef stew with tomatoes, and braised chicken pieces, in order to cover up his guilty conscience.
While Jian Yiqiu didn't conceal the fact that another snow beast tide would appear, he did conceal the number of the next batch of snow beasts, since revealing some details too clearly might not be a good thing.
To be honest, Jian Yiqiu was somewhat worried, but not too worried, because he still had some secret weapons he hadn't used yet.
As for what it is, we might see during the next beast tide.
