Chapter 10: Extremely Cold World (10) Social Chaos



"The snow has stopped! The snow has stopped! The sun is out!"

"What are you yelling about so early in the morning—what the hell! The snow has stopped?!"

"What's going on? Does this mean the disaster is over? Did a big boss lead us through the level early?"

For a time, surviving players in every corner of the world were actively discussing the changes in the weather.

Many people even thought that a big shot had found the legendary hidden mission, and happily thought that they would soon receive a prompt to complete the task.

But there are also some people who have noticed the crisis behind it.

"The snow is about to melt." Qianyue murmured.

As the saying goes, it’s not cold when it snows, but it will be cold when it melts. The temperature will probably continue to drop.

Moreover, the snow had fallen so heavily before that, and once it melted, the snow layer would easily collapse. If the snow melted faster, it would likely cause a flood!

"We must leave here immediately."

Qianyue turned around and started packing her things without saying a word.

The previous thatch had been spread in the snow cave and had been almost soaked by moisture, so Qianyue simply abandoned it.

He put the shovel into his backpack and held the ice pick in his hand as a weapon.

Qianyue also dug out the isatis roots and psychotropic substances that had been hidden in the snow before, and there were quite a few of them in total.

After drinking several bottles to replenish her already healthy state, she strung the remaining ones together with a rope and hung them around her waist with a jingling sound.

The whole process took less than ten minutes, and Qianyue made a prompt decision and went down the mountain.

Just a few minutes after she set off, there was suddenly some movement on the top of the mountain behind her.

Qianyue turned around with a sense of something, and watched helplessly as a ball of snow on the top of the mountain began to slowly slide down the slope——

Then with a loud crash, the snow cave she dug collapsed.

Although she had expected something like this to happen, Qianyue's heart still trembled violently when she actually saw the snow cave collapse.

If she had been a little later, she would have been buried in the snow.

It was no longer possible to live in the snow cave, so Qianyue planned to go to the village in the west first to return Uncle Xie's shovel to him, and then see if she could find a way to stay there for two days.

It's no exaggeration to say that Qianyue felt that the remaining supplies in her backpack were more than enough to make it through the customs.

"I'm not participating in the subsequent games, so the remaining props are useless. I might as well support Mr. Xie when the time comes."

Qianyue had calculated well, thinking that she would just move to a new place to continue living and sleeping, but she didn't expect that during the few days when she was away from people, the towns and villages had already changed!

"Hand over everything!"

The wooden door was smashed open with a bang, and three or five ruffians came in one after another and started to ransack the house without saying a word.

"You, go find out if there's a cellar!"

"Chop down all the chairs and tables and use them as firewood!"

Suddenly there was a crackling sound in the room.

The child hiding in the corner was so frightened that he opened his mouth to cry, but his young mother quickly covered his mouth.

Every time there was a loud noise in the room, the woman's body would tremble. The child seemed to sense his mother's fear and subconsciously hugged her tightly.

If only dad were still here, if only dad...

"They're hiding here!"

A sharp sound pierced the eardrum!

The next second, the child was snatched away!

"Mother!!"

"Child! My child!" The woman instinctively tried to get up and grab it, but was violently kicked away. "Ah!"

In order to feed her child, she had hardly eaten for a day or two. The kick from the other party made her see stars, but her instinct as a mother made her suddenly wake up!

"Give me back my child!"

The woman rushed over with all her heart and threw the man to the ground. The child reached out to her and the woman hurried to grab it, but before she could touch the child's hand, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her body!

"You stupid cousin! I just let you go, but you still don't know what's good for you!"

"He's ugly, and he doesn't have much flesh on him."

“Hit hard!”

"Mom! Dad! You bad guys..."

"My child...Pfft..."

The woman heard the crying of a child and subconsciously wanted to say something, but all she could come out was a muffled groan. In the end, she could only watch helplessly as the child was forcibly taken away.

In the last second before she lost consciousness, she vaguely heard these beasts seem to say that children...eat...

"Catch him!"

A group of people were running in the empty street.

The person in front ran very fast, and the people behind chased him relentlessly, and all this was just for a corn cob.

The young man had very little clothing on him and was as thin as a straw. He was eating while running and was eventually trapped in an alley.

"Damn, this guy ate everything!"

"beat!"

Fists rained down on the boy's body, but he didn't even make a sound. During the fight, someone kicked him in the stomach, and he vomited with a "wow" sound. Finally, he stared with his eyes wide open, motionless.

"Dead."

The leader kicked again, and after confirming that the other party was really dead, he left cursing.

In the snow, the boy just lay there with his eyes wide open, surrounded by the filth he had vomited out before he had time to digest it, and the air was filled with a foul smell.

At this time, a little beggar about seven or eight years old quietly emerged from the corner.

After the group of people had completely left, he couldn't wait to trot over to the dead boy, grabbed a handful of snow and began to devour it...

Qianyue clearly felt that she was being followed.

This is the suburbs about a few hundred meters away from the village. Looking around, there are only a few scattered pine and cypress trees.

But not far from her, there were actually several people "hanging out" at the same time.

It's so cold, do you think she is blind?

Qianyue's face was slightly tense. She had made a mistake.

When the player's warehouse is full, the backpack will look bulging. Coupled with the long string of things hanging around her waist, it would be strange if she wasn't regarded as a fat sheep.

It is not possible to go to the village for the time being.

She slowed down her pace and quietly observed the reactions of the people around her.

Those people seemed unrelated, but in fact, they were slowly tightening their encirclement. If Qianyue guessed correctly, there might be accomplices in the village. The whole village had become a den of bandits...

Now is the time!

Qianyue kicked the pine and cypress trees nearby, and the snow on the treetops immediately fell all over the people around her. She seized the opportunity and ran in the opposite direction!

"He's running away! Chase him!"

Someone shouted behind her, and all the "passersby" turned around and chased after her!

Without thinking, Qianyue took out two pieces of firewood from her bag and threw them back with force. "Stop chasing me! I'll just throw the food to you!"

Two shadows flashed in the sky and fell in two different directions. Although everyone didn't have time to see what they were, they couldn't help but be distracted after hearing her shouting.

Two people even subconsciously ran towards the place where the thing disappeared. Although the others did not follow, they unconsciously slowed down their pace.

A moment later——

"Damn, I got fooled!"

They stood up angrily and planned to continue chasing, but when they turned around, they found that the other party had disappeared.

Qianyue didn't stop until he had run a long distance.

It is now 02:25:39 and the sun is already very bright.

Although it is somewhat unreasonable, the speed at which the snow melts is accelerating. Qianyue can clearly feel a lot of water where she steps when she walks.

Looking at the unchanging scenery in front of him, Qianyue suddenly had a feeling that the world was so vast and he didn't know where his home was.

We definitely can't go to the village anymore. The population there is too small and outsiders can be easily discovered.

In the wild, as the ice and snow melt, only the forest is suitable for living. There are both natural shelters and sufficient food.

But there are probably quite a few players who can think of this, so Qianyue doesn't plan to go there.

"...Forget it, let God decide."

Qianyue took a bottle of psychotropic drug and placed it on the ground, spinning it vigorously. The test tube spun several times in the snow before finally coming to a swaying stop.

forest.

Qianyue turned around again, unconvinced.

Still a forest.

"What about me?"

Unwillingly, she pushed the cork in the opposite direction of the forest. Looking around, there was nothing but snowy fields.

"It's you!"

Qianyue put away the inhibitor and continued moving in the chosen direction.

"...I hope I can find a place to stay before dark." She didn't want to sleep on the street.
