Chapter 114 114. Severe Winter
The next day, the weather was bad.
It started snowing heavily in the early morning and never stopped. A thin layer of floating ice formed on the surface of Moon Lake.
The gray sky seemed to lack the warmth brought by the sun.
Lovey was wrapped tightly in a fur coat and a red necklace hung around his neck.
This is a good thing I found in my mother's magic warehouse. As long as you inject magic power into it, it will naturally generate heat.
Generally speaking, the heat it emits is unbearable.
But it is very useful in extreme weather.
Lovey felt very warm, and he knelt on the magic carpet and slowly rose into the air.
"Let's go, let's go!"
The ice wolf Anus let out a long roar of joy and ran in the front despite being the last to arrive.
Four-wheel drive is faster than two-wheel drive. Even with Lan Lan, Anus' speed was over 70 mph and he disappeared in a flash.
Lan Lan grabbed the ice wolf's hair tightly and lay on its back.
Snowflakes were floating towards me and accidentally got into my eyes. I quickly raised my hand to rub them.
The trees on both sides of the road were all covered in white, with crystal clear icicles hanging on the branches. The snow covered the road underfoot, and everything was pure white.
We entered severe winter in early October, a full month earlier than last year.
Such haste brought serious consequences. People who were caught off guard experienced the fear brought by the cold again.
The mild weather in recent years makes people forget the scene ten years ago.
Many elderly people were reminded of their memories. It is said that during the coldest times, the coastline will freeze and all the water in the house will freeze.
People hug each other for warmth, but when they wake up the next day they may all be frozen into ice sculptures.
There was endless snow and cold wind. The only time we could go out was during the few hours at noon.
Food can only be eaten once a day. When sleeping, the door must be sealed and no gaps can be left in the house.
Until the most difficult half month passed , the pioneer camp was also covered with heavy snow.
There are several newly built three-story red brick houses, each of which is full of people.
People are extremely satisfied with this new type of house. Not only does it provide shelter from the wind and rain, but it is also warm and sturdy.
It is just like a stone house. Some people even insist that "a red brick house is better than a stone house."
Those who are lucky enough to live here brag about it to those outside, and others are so envious that their eyes turn red.
In order to save trouble in the future, Lowe designed a bathroom, fireplace and toilet in the red brick house. Although small, it has everything.
Even though a group of people gathered together, their body temperature alone was enough to make the room warm, but some smart people still suggested that everyone burn charcoal to keep warm.
Fortunately, an old man dissuaded us.
Burning coal can kill people, this is a lesson learned with blood.
I remember that ten years ago, many people did not freeze to death, but died of poisoning from burning charcoal and wood for heating.
How to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, Lowe had not yet considered it. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.
Bang, bang, bang. Zoe arrived in front of the wooden house and knocked on the door. "The lord is here! Come out to greet him!"
"Wait a moment, I'll be there soon!" The white tiger beastman Grugia hurriedly put on his clothes, climbed up from the wooden bed and went to open the door: "Lord Lovi, the weather is so bad, do you have something important to tell me?"
"Don't worry, we're just passing by. Let's take a rest first." Lovi walked into the cabin and everyone followed him. Aka closed the door and plugged the wooden bolt.
Georgia scratched his head in a silly way, looking a little embarrassed: "Lord Lovey, this is a gentleman's room."
"This is an emergency, please understand. I can't ask them to wait outside in such cold weather." Lovi patted Georgia's shoulder and said, "Please help me with something."
"Please go ahead."
"Notice to all people, never burn charcoal in closed spaces. If you really have to burn it, you must ventilate it."
"What is the reason?"
"Burning coal and wood will emit poisonous gas, and people will die if they inhale too much."
"I'll tell them right away."
The White Tiger Orc had a strong sense of responsibility. Wearing only a very thin piece of clothing, he hurriedly pushed the door open and left, his figure disappearing in the wind and snow.
Lowe took out some tea from his space backpack, took a sip, and began to meditate.
The girls also found a place to sit down and replenish their energy.
Time passes.
It took more than an hour of meditation to replenish my mental strength.
Lowe distributed some white bread and strong liquor to everyone. Drinking in this weather was perfect, and the whole body was warm, but it was a pity that it was inconvenient to eat hot food.
Georgia reported the situation in the camp to Lovey. Someone froze to death last night. He was a 73-year-old man.
"Oh, this winter is so hard!" Lowe shook his head and spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless.
I have an urge to donate the clothes I have, but when I think about it, it's just a drop in the bucket.
Individual good deeds cannot reverse the general trend. Instead of spending time on show, it is better to find ways to do something practical.
Lovi straightened his collar and walked out of the cabin. It was already noon, and the snow outside was getting lighter.
He glanced at the brick kiln not far away. The thick smoke was still billowing and the charcoal fire was still burning. Some clever people were using the flames from the brick kiln to boil water.
"Let's continue on our journey and stay in Huan Ge Town tonight."
"Wait, Master!" Lan Lan looked for Anus everywhere, but no one knew where the stupid wolf had gone. Anyway, it was out of Lovi's range of perception.
Lan Lan imitated the howling of the ice wolf several times before Anus appeared, chewing a snow rabbit in his mouth.
Everyone looked at the huge body of the ice wolf from afar with curiosity. After all, they all came from Donggang City, and many people knew that there was an ice wolf in Fulin Castle, so they were not very afraid.
After confirming the direction, the experienced Zoe led the team this time.
She was very confident, but still couldn't avoid getting lost. In the end, she had to rely on Lowe to get into the air and repeatedly confirm the direction.
"I can't even see the road in this horrible weather." Zoe defended herself shamefully.
No one made any sarcastic remarks, and it was a feat for the company to not go too far in this situation.
It took more than two hours to reach Huange Town.
Mayor Raja anticipated Lowe's arrival: "Lord! You must also know that something happened in Dam Town. The people I sent to buy grain a while ago did not come back, and the people who went to investigate also disappeared."
Luo Wei frowned slightly: "Can't you even find out?"
"I sent out the town's best players in the second batch, including a formal spellcaster and two extremely powerful hunters." Raja said solemnly, "The intelligence we got is that Damu Village is now empty.
There was an illusion barrier set up outside, and they felt it was too dangerous and did not dare to go deeper."
"Have the people from before been rescued?"
"It's more likely to be bad than good."
"Prepare a place for us to rest, and we will go in and investigate tomorrow."
"My Lord, do you need help? We can mobilize all our staff in Huan Ge Town."
"Not for now. I'll let you know if I need it."
Raja glanced at Lodel and Zoe behind him: "I know!"
With the protection of two Limit Breakers, the lord's safety can be guaranteed.
