A group of people sat around a table, with several bonfires burning nearby, enjoying their meal comfortably.
In this awful weather, no one went back to their rooms; they just settled in the lobby instead.
It's difficult to keep warm in both upstairs and downstairs rooms, and it's also inconvenient to light fires in each room, as that would be unsafe.
In the end, everyone agreed to stay in the hall for warmth.
The doors, windows, and walls were all repaired, and the interior and exterior were reinforced with supernatural abilities.
Once the door was closed, several bonfires were lit in the hall, and the fireplace was also burning, which made it much warmer.
The middle of the hall serves as a sleeping area, with mattresses and several layers of thick quilts laid out. With a fire source around it, it is quite warm.
That's how we've spent the last two days, using the lobby on the first floor as our rest and living area, so we can all look out for each other.
Look, we put a table here next to the fireplace, so we won't feel cold while eating here.
If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't go out, this kind of life would be quite enviable.
"I can't stay here like this every day."
After finishing their meal, everyone sat back down on their beds and started spacing out again.
They were all surprised that Xiao Peng would say that, and they all looked at him.
"What's wrong?" Shao Jie asked.
"Eating and drinking like this every day doesn't feel right." Xiao Peng didn't know what to say, but he saw him sitting sullenly in the bedding, his face not looking good.
Yu Yanbin shared the same sentiment, spending his days aimlessly, which was very disheartening.
"It's too cold, and it's not convenient to go out."
"But if this continues, not to mention whether we know what's going on outside, if we don't go out and experience it, will we never be able to leave the house again?" Xiao Peng expressed his worries.
Yu Yanbin was also taken aback when he heard him say that.
“You have a point. If we keep avoiding the wind and cold and never experience anything, it might really be like you said, that a little bit of cold can defeat us.”
"So, are we going out?" Tian Tian asked tremblingly.
"What do you all say?" Yu Yanbin asked, looking at the others.
Cheng Shaolin was afraid of Li Xiaoleng, so he shared a bed with her.
At this moment, Yu Yanbin was asking for their opinions. He let Li Xiao sit in his lap and warmed her with his body heat.
"It's time to go out. We don't know anything about the situation outside, so it's best to see it for ourselves."
"Yes." Meng Yang nodded. "Seeing is believing."
"When are we going out?" Qiu Fengyu asked.
The already aloof beauty became even more icy in this frosty weather, exuding an aura of coldness. Even her words carried a chilling tone, making her a cold and aloof beauty.
"Let's do it in the next couple of days. Shao Jie, why don't you go check it out tomorrow and see if there's any news? If the weather improves tomorrow, we can do it the day after tomorrow."
No one had a problem with which day to go out; it didn't matter which day it was, it was always cold.
Shao Jie agreed, and that was the decision.
The next day, the sky brightened a bit, giving it a feeling of dawn just breaking.
The weather remains cold, and the temperature is still dropping.
Inside the base, things remained the same; those who were supposed to be hiding indoors continued to hide.
The cold air permeated the sky and enveloped the earth.
"It's cold again."
"Sigh—, living is so hard."
Li Xiao prepared the things she would need for the trip: warm clothes, a blanket for the night, ingredients for meals, etc., and put them all together in a place where she could easily reach them.
Seeing that Li Xiao was busy with her own things and didn't have time to pay attention to him, Cheng Shaolin went to discuss the trip with Yu Yanbin and the others.
Now that everything is covered in ice and snow, the danger is even greater.
The snow and wind have lessened a bit in the last couple of days, but the previous snow and wind were quite intense.
The ground was covered in ice and snow, making it impossible to see what was underneath.
I don't know where the solid ground is, nor do I know where the void is.
Danger can arise in an instant.
This serves as a warning to everyone, urging them to be more vigilant.
The danger has always been there, just in a slightly different form.
A sense of vigilance is something we must never forget.
"On your first outing, just wander around the neighborhood; you don't need to go too far."
"Yes, the situation is unclear, it's best to be careful."
"OK."
Except for Li Xiao, everyone gathered together looking at the nearby map, trying to find suitable places near the base.
Li Xiao peeked over and took a look.
"We can all see this one, but only you can see yours," Shao Jie explained to Li Xiao, afraid she might misunderstand.
Li Xiao laughed and said, "I didn't say anything. Look, nothing's wrong."
"oh oh."
Li Xiao shook her head, also feeling that they were being too cautious.
Even if you have your own map, there's no need for paper maps to disappear.
Li Xiao thought about it and also organized the things she needed to prepare.
She was also interested in what was happening outside, but she didn't know just how cold it would be.
There were zombies appearing before, but with the weather so cold, can the zombies still move around freely?
And where are those animals we've never seen before hiding?
Li Xiao always felt that these potential dangers were always there, they just hadn't erupted yet.
Therefore, we must remain vigilant and not let our guard down.
It was warm inside, and you could hear the wind whistling outside.
This weather is unpredictable and hard to handle.
Each of them, preoccupied with their own thoughts, awaited the arrival of the next day.
Cheng Shaolin and Li Xiao were on night watch last night; they were responsible for making sure the fire didn't go out.
