Seeing that Mingmei seemed a little absent-minded, Lu Xiaoyao went up to her and started talking to her.
"It should be."
Mingmei pursed her lips slightly. This morning, Mu Chen set off with his people just as dawn broke. At noon, the big bird flapped its wings, bringing a "man-made blizzard" to the area before leaving.
She calculated the time; it had only taken half a day for Mu Chen and the others to reach the mountaintop and carry out the plan after ensuring they were well-rested. So they should be on their way back now.
The other trapped players in the house were all fine, but one house had some problems with its construction; a corner had collapsed, the roof was cracked, and the wall had crumbled. The player could only move into the cave with tears in his eyes.

She stood in the darkness for a long time without moving an inch. The sound of the wind and snow grew louder and louder. If she didn't go back soon, she would get frostbite with her current gear.
I want to go find Mu Chen.
A voice deep within my heart tells me this brightly, and it keeps amplifying on repeat.
"I really want to go find him..."
"Who should I look for?"
In an instant, that familiar, cool fragrance wafted from behind her...
