day29
Xia Ning opened her phone and saw another description under her profile.
You successfully survived the first cold snap; no fever, no cold, your constitution is comparable to a gorilla's.

A line of speech bubbles appears above the pixelated character's head: Weather forecast, it will snow today.
Xia Ning: (→_→)
Wow, what an accurate weather forecast.
It's truly a case of hearing your words being as good as hearing a lecture.
Xia Ning pouted and checked the latest status:

"There are currently 872 players out of 1000 on this map."
Thinking about the "first cold wave" mentioned in the description, Xia Ning shook her head and decided to just tough it out.
She continued to tinker with insulation and heating equipment at home in preparation for the upcoming second cold wave.
In a famous disaster movie that Xia Ning had seen, there was a scenario where global warming caused climate change, plunging the world into an ice age. Wherever a cold wave passed, snow and wind instantly froze everything.
Outdoors, death is certain; indoors, even staying a little distance from the fire will result in hypothermia.
Xia Ning knew in her heart that this was her final test in "Disaster City".
-
Two floors down.
With the day of clearance fast approaching, Jian Yuan felt like the sky was falling and he couldn't go on living at the thought that he might continue to be bound to Shu Qilan.
No, if this continues, I'll either be driven to a mental breakdown or tortured to death.
A thought grew stronger in Jian Yuan's mind.
He wanted to break free from Shu Qilan's control completely before the final settlement date!
Tonight is his only and last chance.
Order and morality began to crumble, and no one paid attention to them. Once the dungeon ended at dawn, he would be completely free from this damned, disastrous city.
The plan was very simple, yet deadly enough.
Jian Yuan planned to turn off the generator and cut off all heating equipment in the house while Shu Qilan was fast asleep!
He then spent the night at the wealthy woman's house.
Even if someone notices something is wrong the next day, it will be too late; he will be teleported directly to the new map after clearing the dungeon.
With a perfect plan in mind, Jian Yuan envisioned himself ruthlessly eliminating Shu Qilan, taking over her inheritance both in and out of the game, absconding with the rich woman's wealth before teleporting, and then thriving in the new map, with countless women begging for his protection with their gold and jewels...
Ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh.
As a timid young man who has been cowardly his whole life and can't even endure the hardships of singing and dancing, he was so scared that he almost couldn't complete the first step.
He watched Shu Qilan fall asleep and intended to tiptoe off the generator, but Shu Qilan simply turned over, which startled him so much that he fell flat on his backside.
The sounds in the silence seemed to be amplified infinitely.
In his terror, Jian Yuan seemed to hear Shu Qilan mumble something, as if she was about to wake up.
The taut string snapped instantly.
The image of Shu Qilan grabbing him and slamming him against the wall kept flashing through his mind. This female demon would not let him go!
Jian Yuan was almost panicking. He scrambled to his feet and clumsily cut off the power in his house before running out the door without a care in the world.
Standing in the hallway, Jian Yuan trembled all over, and he hallucinated the scene of Shu Qilan getting out of bed and grabbing him.
Run!
Escape to the rich woman's house!
Jian Yuan's thoughts flashed in red; he wanted to run to the top floor immediately, but his hands and feet somehow wouldn't move.
The next second, another thought took over.
cold.
It's so cold.
It's so cold!
Jian Yuan felt a layer of white mist drifting past his eyes. His eyelids seemed to be sealed with mud and water, drooping halfway and unable to close or open.
In the darkness, Jian Yuan stood like an ice sculpture, his back pressed against the door, enveloped in frost and blending into the building's wall.
After winning several rounds of disasters without even realizing it, his stamina improved, and his body became more robust than that of an ordinary person. He did not die immediately, and his heart continued to beat slowly.
As a player, Jian Yuan's body was frozen, but his mind could still function.
But soon, the player's identity brought Jian Yuan even greater despair.
He wanted to use first aid equipment.
But he had long been used to Shu Qilan, who was more useful than an ATM. He could ask her for whatever he wanted without ever bothering to open treasure chests to store supplies.
He wanted to bring up the virtual interface, but Disaster City used a mobile phone system and even closed the store interface.
During his 29 days of survival, Jian Yuan had accumulated several hundred survival points, but at this moment, these survival points could not extend his life by even a second.
He will be acutely aware of the passing of his life...
