After everyone finished packing, they closed the door and rested by the fire. "We'll go back to the city as soon as the snow stops tomorrow morning. This damn place is too cold."
"Oh, who knew it would snow? Go to sleep." A light snoring sound soon came from the room.
Zhou Yan added a few thick pieces of wood to the fire to prevent it from going out at night, then returned to Xihe, who leaned into his arms.
Zhou Yan's body stiffened and he subconsciously looked at everyone else. Everyone was asleep, so he blushed and gently placed his hand on her shoulder and closed his eyes.
The cold wind howled outside the window, and heavy snow fell from the sky. The trees, roofs, and the bustling city center were all covered with thick snow in a short while, including the entire mountain range and even the entire world...
The next day, when everyone woke up and opened the door, they were shocked to see more than a foot of snow.
Looking at the snow that continued to fall, everyone finally panicked: "What should we do? The snow is still falling. Can we get down the mountain?"
Last night it was too dark to travel in the night, but now looking at the vast expanse of white in the distance, I can't tell where the road is at all. If I force myself to move forward, I might get lost in the mountains.
"Besides, our clothes are too thin and our shoes are not warm enough, so we can't walk far." someone said.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent and looked at their bodies. Their clothes and shoes were indeed not warm enough.
"What should we do then? Are we going to wait here for the snow to stop?"
"But when will the snow stop?"
Everyone looked at each other, pulled out their phones, and was shocked by the news. It turned out that heavy snow had fallen not only here but also in the southern coastal areas last night. Some people even posted videos online.
"Come and see the snow in our south. Wow, it's heavy snow."
"We have snow in the south too, hahahaha"
Very happy, just like Chinese New Year.
"This... why is it snowing in the south? The weather is too weird, right?" someone couldn't help but say.
The others also frowned as they looked at their phones. This weather was indeed very strange, so what should they do? Should they leave? They couldn't help but worry.
Fang Yuan looked around and suddenly frowned: "Zhou Yan, what are you doing?"
When everyone heard the sound, they looked over and saw Zhou Yan standing in the snow, bending over to stuff snow into the pot. He turned around when he heard the sound and said, "Make something for Ruo Ruo." He grabbed two more handfuls of snow and stuffed them in, then turned around and strode back into the house.
Fang Yuan's face darkened. "It's already this late, and you're still focused on eating. Do you have any sense of teamwork?"
Zhou Yan stopped in surprise and was about to speak, but Xihe dragged him into the house and walked to the door. He crossed his arms and looked at Fang Yuan: "Why, are you guys going down the mountain?"
Fang Yuan snorted coldly: "Of course, we are not like some people who are afraid of hardship, fatigue and pain."
Xihe nodded: "Oh, then I wish you good luck."
Fang Yuan immediately frowned: "What do you mean? You won't leave?"
Yang Shuo also disagreed: "Tan Ruo, even though it's still snowing outside and our clothes and shoes are not warm enough, as long as we contact rescue in advance and insist on walking down the mountain, we can return to the city soon."
"We don't have enough to eat. If we wait until the snow stops, we won't be able to hold out."
The others nodded: "Yes, let's contact rescue and then go down the mountain!"
Then Xihe watched them contact rescue, cheered and started packing up.
Yang Shuo came over and said, "You guys should pack up quickly. This journey will definitely be difficult, but there's nothing we can do about it. This mountain is too big, and rescue is difficult. If we wait any longer, we probably won't be able to get back tomorrow."
Xihe shook his head: "It's too cold outside, we won't leave."
Yang Suo was getting a little impatient: "Tan Ruo, everyone has to go down the mountain. It's not safe for you to stay here. There might be wild animals on the mountain. Don't be stubborn. Or you can ask Zhou Yan."
Xi He still shook his head: "Yang Shuo, it's really cold outside. Our feet will be frozen if we walk for more than ten hours. Besides, there is a lot of snow and it is easy to get lost. What if we get lost in the mountains? I won't let Zhou Yan take this risk."
In their previous life, they also went down the mountain, but after walking for two hours, the original owner couldn't stand it anymore and didn't let Zhou Yan take her back to the wooden house. There were two other people with them, so he saved their lives. However, Yang Shuo and the others walked too far and didn't make it back when the temperature suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius.
In this temperature, you can barely survive by staying in the room by the fire, but you will die outside.
When Yang Shuo and his team came back, they were in a very bad state. There was one person missing from the team, and everyone was more or less frostbitten.
Xihe said directly: "In short, I don't recommend you go down the mountain. If you want to leave, you have to wait until the snow stops. Of course, it's your freedom to listen or not."
Tonight and tomorrow night will be the coldest nights, and the temperature will gradually rise afterwards, and the snow will stop after a few days.
Of course, this does not mean that it will not snow in the future. This is just a short transition period given to humans by the world. Later, the snow will continue to fall, and the weather will become colder and colder. It will be in a low temperature state all year round, and human survival will become extremely difficult.
Thinking of this, Xihe went straight into the house. The most urgent thing was to prepare how to spend the next few days, and then call the original owner's parents and Zhou Yan's parents to ask them to prepare supplies for the winter.
Yang Shuo was so angry that his chest was tight, and he went straight to Zhou Yan: "Zhou Yan, we are going down the mountain, you guys go pack your things quickly."
Zhou Yan was cooking the leftover chicken from last night. He nodded quickly when he heard this: "Okay, I'll give Ruo Ruo something to eat first, and then I'll go clean up." He went to find Xihe with the things in his hand, and came back a little while later with a frown on his face.
Yang Shuo's heart sank. "What's wrong? We've already contacted the rescue team. They're just down the mountain. As long as we get out of this mountain, we'll be back to the city soon. Zhou Yan, you're not going to listen to Tan Ruo and stay here, are you?"
