Chapter 183 Misfortunes never come alone
Qiansui's voice made quite a noise, and compared to when he just woke up, its power was undoubtedly greater.
Zhou Xu, who noticed the movement, didn't think too much about it. He just rushed towards the direction where the sound came from, escorted by four hyena skeletons.
By the time he arrived nearby, Chitose was already digging the snow with his front paws not far away. It went without saying that there must be something buried underneath.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu did not let the hyena skeleton go up, but quickly signaled the two villagers who had accompanied him to go up and help.
There is no such thing as controlling the strength of the Hyena Skeletons. Simply put, assuming their strength is ten, then the strength of each of their attacks will be ten.
Unless Zhou Xu uses strengthening mantras to strengthen the skeleton's power, changes will occur.
In addition, they cannot understand if you give them too detailed commands, so letting them go at this time is not a good choice no matter how you think about it.
Qiansui's movements were much faster than those two villagers. Soon, the snow was dug up. The two villagers who came forward to help saw this and their faces changed instantly.
"Found it, Chief! Found it!!"
After hearing this, Zhou Xu hurried forward and looked into the dug snow.
At this moment, a completely stiff body appeared before his eyes in the snow pile.
At the same time, another person buried under the snow at the granary was also dug out.
The man's head was also smashed by a heavy object. My blind guess is that after the roof of the granary was blown off by the snowstorm, the stones used to press down the thatch fell down and hit him.
Maybe he was knocked unconscious, or even worse.
So this person fell down at the granary, and the other person, probably trying to run for help, ended up being buried in the blizzard...
Calculating the time, at least seven hours have passed since they were buried alive. There are no signs of life on their bodies, and their bodies have become completely stiff.
In this era, there is no possibility of salvation.
Although Zhou Xu had prepared himself mentally for this situation, he still couldn't change the heavy mood at the moment.
"Properly arrange for them to stay, and then send a message saying that the two missing people have been found."
After saying that, Zhou Xu turned around and walked towards the granary without hesitation. For them, rescuing food was a matter of life and death for the entire village! They needed to race against time!
During this period, all the workshops of nearby departments were naturally requisitioned by them to store food.
The actions of the hyena skeleton only continue to consume Zhou Xu's mantra power, and it itself is completely tireless.
With their full efforts, the food buried under the snow in the granary was quickly moved to the nearest room.
During this process, Zhou Xu knew without counting that the food supply was less! Compared to the scale he remembered, it was less than one-third of the original amount.
Of course, he didn't think anyone had stolen the food.
In a snowstorm like that, stealing food? That would be a life-threatening thing.
There are still no such people in their village.
The most likely possibility is that it was blown away by a snowstorm.
You know, this blizzard can blow off the roof of a house, how can the food there withstand such wind force? However, what's the use of thinking about this? Facing this raging blizzard, can they still go around the world to find food that has been blown away? At present, they are lucky to still have food left.
As a result, before Zhou Xu could say a few more words to comfort himself, Ye Jinghong came hurriedly, covered in snow and wind. Just one sentence from him made Zhou Xu's heart twitch violently.
"Chief, the breeding farm outside the village collapsed!"
Zhou Xu almost fainted after hearing this news.
Without thinking too much, he quickly followed Ye Jinghong to confirm the situation.
The farm was mainly used to tame wild buffalo and wild horses. Later, a large house was built to move the cattle and horses indoors.
Because they take up too much space, they are placed in an open space outside the village and are looked after by keepers.
After the heavy snow started to fall here, the cattle and horses at the farm were undoubtedly urgently moved indoors.
In addition, the rabbits and chickens raised in the village, which are their important meat, have all been moved here for the convenience of care.
When it snowed heavily before, nothing happened, but the snow kept getting heavier and heavier, and it turned into a blizzard! Compared with the granary and dormitory, the situation at the farm was even worse, and the entire building collapsed.
However, the scene was outside the village, and the snowstorm was so severe that even Ye Jinghong was unable to confirm the situation in the first place.
By the time they arrived, the place had already become a ruin.
Looking at the ruins, Zhou Xu almost went crazy.
"Cavalry, my cavalry!!"
The war horses trained there are undoubtedly what Zhou Xu values most.
Without time to think, he quickly called all fifteen hyena skeletons and began to dig up the ruins.
Whether it was the granary or the dormitory, only the roofs were blown off by the blizzard, but the entire farm collapsed. Why? Zhou Xu thought a lot about this question.
The most likely scenario is that the blizzard blew off the roof of their farm, frightening the cattle and horses inside. The severely frightened cattle and horses went crazy, and the constant tearing of the farm by the blizzard led to the tragedy in front of us.
Regardless of whether this is the reason or not, for Zhou Xu now, even if he figured it out, it would be of no use.
Because he had already paid the most painful price! He controlled the fifteen hyena skeletons to move the rubble that was pressing on them, but he had not yet found any corpses of cattle or horses.
It is very likely that the cattle and horses have escaped.
【Eye of Insight! 】
Zhou Xu realized this problem and quickly opened his Eye of Insight to observe his surroundings, but he couldn't see any footprints.
There must be footprints, but they were buried by the snow.
Judging from this, this happened at least at midnight yesterday.
During this process, the hyena skeletons did not stop working, and Qiansui also ran over to help.
Soon, the bodies of three breeders were dug out from under the ruins, along with the body of a bison and a large number of rabbits and chickens that had frozen to death in the snow.
I have said before that the food stored in his grassland village is enough to feed the entire village for at least one month.
The food here, of course, also includes rabbits and chickens.
Now that these livestock are dying or escaping, their losses in food will undoubtedly rise sharply.
[This is really a double whammy...]
