Everyone survived the night safely.
Nothing unexpected happened until the morning of the sixth day.
After waking up in the morning, those who need to prepare breakfast do so, and those who need to clear the snow do so.
It's worth mentioning that the outside temperature has dropped again, reaching -75 degrees Celsius.
The indigenous people have experienced some degree of breathing difficulties, and even wearing coats, they have difficulty moving around normally in the wind and snow.
Upon seeing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Leading the way in hauling the snow out of the prison, Jian Yiqiu took a break and tried to calm his somewhat disordered breathing.
He leaned against the truck, wearing goggles, his face completely wrapped in a thick scarf, the outside of which was now covered with a layer of white frost.
Watching the players' swift and decisive actions, he couldn't help but feel envious.
"Wow! That's great. How come they're still so agile even though they're wearing so many layers?"
Shao Jing, who also noticed Jian Yiqiu's gaze, leaned on his shovel and sighed, then pulled out his winter boots that were stuck in the snow.
Jian Yiqiu picked up the shovel again and shoveled the snow from the ground into the truck bed.
"Curious? Then go ask them!"
Thinking of the endless stream of amazing methods the players came up with, Shao Jing chuckled dryly: "Haha. Forget it, I'm not curious at all."
Jian Yiqiu gave a soft hum.
It took about four hours for everyone to clear the snow outside. Those who could endure four hours were mostly players.
When they were about halfway through the work, Jian Yiqiu and the others were sent back.
Indigenous people are not strong and are not resistant to the cold. Even if they stay up there, they can't do much and there is a risk of getting sick.
After much deliberation, Gao Ya persuaded Jian Yiqiu to take everyone back with him, assuring him that Qingxue's matter could be left to them.
Jian Yiqiu hesitated for a moment, but still agreed to Gao Ya's idea.
It was too cold outside, and even with all the activity, no one could shake off the biting chill. So Jian Yiqiu simply ordered everyone to return to the Black Tower, but he stayed behind himself.
However, as soon as he turned around, Cheng Ce and Shao Jing helped him back.
Shao Jing: "Hey, Jian Da, don't make things worse. If you get sick, I'll have to take care of you."
Jian Yiqiu's face darkened: "Who needs your care!"
"Alright, alright, I'll let Lao Cheng go."
Bah! You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth. You're the one who's sick!
Jian Yiqiu cursed under his breath; his cold had just recovered.
However, without Cheng Ce's persuasion, Jian Yiqiu stopped insisting and headed towards the Black Tower after breaking free from their grasp.
He knew he was too slow and would slow everyone down. He just wanted to find something to do so he wouldn't keep thinking about Xiao Jin who was out.
Yes, after waking up this morning, Xiao Jin separated from the main group and left the shelter alone.
When Xiao Jin brought up the matter, Jian Yiqiu immediately rejected her, but Xiao Jin insisted on going.
Seeing that the two were at an impasse, Gao Ya quickly tried to smooth things over.
She looked at Xiao Jin and said, "I know you won't change your mind easily, but you still have to tell us what you're going out to do!"
You are an indispensable fighting force in the shelter. The snow beast tide will definitely come today, and everyone is worried about you without me.
Xiao Jin nodded: "I knew the snow beast tide would come, and it would most likely be around noon."
Gao Ya suddenly realized something, frowned and asked, "The same time as yesterday?"
"It's pretty close to the truth!"
"So you have a plan to leave?" Jian Yiqiu wasn't an irrational person, but he still didn't quite agree with Xiao Jin's idea of leaving alone.
There are too many snow beasts outside; it's easy to get into danger.
"I haven't thought of a solution yet, but I'm going to try my luck." Xiao Jin readily admitted, turning to meet Jian Yiqiu's eyes, her clear black and white pupils filled with seriousness.
"Trust me, I'll be back before noon."
Gao Ya stopped talking, and don't blame her for being cold-blooded.
Everyone shares the same goal: to survive and protect the indigenous people so they can all live together. With only two days left, it's not just the indigenous people who are in danger; the players are too.
Admittedly, the game world is much easier this time, but Gao Ya still doesn't dare to underestimate it.
Especially the most crucial later stages.
Moreover, who is Xiao Jin? She is the number one player in the game. Even if the points ranking is a bit inflated, it can't hide the fact that she is incredibly strong.
If she says there's a way, then there must be.
Gao Ya was willing to let her try.
As for whether Xiao Jin might run away on her own, she never even considered that possibility.
Unable to change Xiao Jin's mind, Jian Yiqiu settled for second best and personally saw her off at the gate.
Watching the figure disappear into the snow-covered landscape, Jian Yiqiu felt a pang of melancholy.
Even after a whole morning, Jian Yiqiu was still thinking about Xiao Jin while shoveling snow.
"Tsk! It's already 10:30, why isn't he back yet?"
Sitting in the monitoring room, Jian Yiqiu stared at the monitor near the door, his mind a jumbled mess, like a ball of yarn tangled up by a kitten.
About twenty minutes later, a dark figure suddenly darted past the monitor.
Jian Yiqiu stood up from his chair and immediately began frantically typing on the keyboard, rewinding the playback to a minute earlier.
Sure enough, he spotted Xiao Jin's figure this time, and he excitedly rushed out of the monitoring room.
Braving the wind and snow, as he approached the dark sentry post, Xiao Jin deliberately slowed down so that the people inside could see who he was.
Sure enough, the player in the guard post leaned out halfway and shouted.
"Boss Xiao, you're back!" His voice wasn't quiet, but half of it was carried away by the surrounding wind, shattering his voice into fragments.
However, Xiao Jin still heard what he said clearly.
She paused for a moment, nodded and said "Mmm," then walked away.
The player over there had a silly grin on his face, and as he sat back down in the pavilion, he muttered to himself, "Hehehe, I talked to a pro! Hey, a pro talked to me..."
As soon as Xiao Jin entered the Black Tower, he ran into Gao Ya and Jian Yiqiu, who had been waiting there since early morning.
"How is it?" Gao Ya asked impatiently.
Xiao Jin glanced around and noticed many curious gazes directed her way. She paused for a moment and said, "Let's talk in the conference room."
Then he turned around and left.
Seeing this, Gao Ya exchanged a glance with Jian Yiqiu and quickly followed.
Soon after everyone had arrived, Xiao Jin got straight to the point: "I want to blow up the bridge."
"What?"
Before everyone could finish processing what Xiao Jin had said, Shao Jing exclaimed in astonishment.
"No, Xiao Jin, what's wrong with you? Did you see something? Why would you blow up the bridge for no reason?"
Putting aside the immense difficulty of blowing up the bridge, the commotion would be enormous, and it might even attract more snow beasts. You couldn't have overlooked that, could you?
