Chapter 47 The Ending Winter

After returning to the surface after 22 days, the thick snow covered half of the height of the window. It took Andrea a lot of effort to push the window open. The zombie beasts that were originally in the village may have been Snow covered.

A gust of wind blew across the faces of the two of them, like knives cutting, and the exposed palms were as stiff as ice, and it was difficult to make a fist with fingers.

Faced with such a situation, after looking at each other for a while, the two didn't know what to say.

The temperature outside was beyond Xiang En's imagination. Although he had expected such a situation, the actual situation was still worse than he thought.

He doesn't have much real sense of the temperature. The lowest temperature he ever experienced was only 3°C. Faced with the temperature of minus degrees Celsius, he somewhat misses the environment in the south that is like spring all the year round.

When the face was blown by the wind, it was like peeling skin, and it hurt so badly!

The zombie beasts were also buried in the snow, and now they are probably frozen stiff, without the protection of their fur. No matter how special they are, they will be frozen hard by the current cold temperature, just like pork in a cold storage.

The snow was still falling in the sky, and the external threat was temporarily buried in the snow, but Xiang En couldn't think of what unnecessary things they could do in such a ghostly weather.

Climbing out of the cabin with Andrea through the window, the two strengthened and raised the chimney that was about to be buried in the snow.

No zombies jumped out when they knocked on the wooden board this time. The temperature now is much lower than it was twenty days ago. The two of them have put on as many clothes as possible, but it is still difficult to stay on the surface for too long .

After returning to the wooden house, the wooden house that is isolated from the snow outside the house has become somewhat warmer.

The amount of snow accumulated exceeded expectations, so the two simply dug a gap, set up an iron pot and started boiling water, washing away the dirt that had accumulated for more than 20 days.

It was inevitable that there would be a hearty confrontation at night, and the loser was still Xiang En, which made him want to learn from Andrea and switch to body training, but unfortunately time did not allow it.

The temperature seemed to usher in a watershed on this day. In the next ten days, the temperature dropped again. The unprecedented low temperature swept across the entire province of D'Aire, and the survivors outside the closed city had unprecedented difficulties.

The two were so cold that they didn't even have the strength to fight hand-to-hand, and the firewood was consumed at a terrifying speed. Fortunately, there was a little charcoal left in the villagers' homes.

...

Forty days after the first winter after the apocalypse, the wood reserves in the basement were finally exhausted, but the temperature did not pick up.

One reason for the increased consumption of wood is that Xiang En dug a lot of snow to increase the underground temperature by boiling water.

In order to resist the low temperature that would freeze people's souls, they also nailed unused animal skins to the walls, spread them on the floor, and glued the entire basement with fur.

It looks weird, but it works really well.

Even so, the wood used for heat preservation will be gone after three or four days of burning, and Xiang En still wants to use the remaining wood to carve totems. It would be too wasteful to burn it directly.

Finally, Xiang En made a decision, took an axe, and demolished some unimportant wooden houses next to him, and brought the wood back to be used as firewood!

The next day, the temperature rose slightly, but it was far from survivable.

The two came to the surface and did warm-up exercises for a long time before pushing open the window. The snow outside the window was collapsed by the movement of the window, and the snow rolled into the wooden house, burying half of the wooden house.

The two wrapped in zongzi finally climbed out, and immediately began to level the snow layer, creating an upward passage like a slide.

It has been snowing for many days, and the snow in the forest has already been close to three meters high, flooding the windows and making walking extremely inconvenient.

The two stepped onto the snow-covered surface on wooden boards, walked to the edge of the wooden house opposite, and chopped a big hole in the roof with an axe.

Cooperating with each other, Andrea demolished the house and moved wood to En.

After demolishing three wooden houses in a row, there was no lack of firewood at all.

It didn't take long to solve the firewood, and the drinking water became stretched again. It was difficult to continue to maintain the consumption of survival by only relying on the finger dew skill to produce drinking water every day.

After another five days, no matter how much I saved, I couldn't save it.

Andrea lost the motivation to fight hand-to-hand again, and they had no choice but to drink water from the melted snow.

The water boiled from these snows only tastes a little strange, but it can still maintain their lives.

When the two of them didn't care about whether the snow water was dry or not, their life became a little easier. Except for the greasy food, they didn't encounter any other unsolvable problems...

After living underground for a long time, both of them are about to lose their sense of time, and they don't know how many days the winter will end.

Before you know it, many days have passed...

The dagger scratched against the mud-sand wall, making a rustling sound, but the sound only lasted for a moment, and a complete "positive" character appeared on the wall.

Andrea sat aside and stared at Xiang En who was engraving on the wall, and Xiang En also stared at the orthographic characters on the wall in a daze.

Counting from left to right, there are as many as 18 orthographic characters on the wall, and each painting represents a day.

Of course... these records are not accurate. Occasionally, Xiang En and Andrea would fight hand to hand until they forgot the time because they were idle.

The schedule was very chaotic in a short period of time, and neither of them had an accurate answer on how many days had passed outside.

The date will not be calculated according to the weather outside until after Taboo Nocturne is made.

The recorded time should fluctuate around five days, that is to say, at least three months have passed now.

The temperature has risen a lot now, and when he goes outside and is blown by the wind, he can only shiver at most, and he no longer has the tingling feeling of cutting his cheeks. Animal skins and cotton coats that are close to air leakage can make him feel warm.

Counting the time, the normal winter is coming to an end...

So he was thinking, should he leave now, while those zombie beasts are still frozen.

If he waited for the snow to melt, he didn't guarantee that those zombie beasts would escape from the frozen state. Ordinary life has been frozen for so long, there is a high probability that it will not survive, but this is a magical world...

"Anli, winter may be coming to an end, or... we should leave now?"

Xiang En, who was hesitant, finally decided to let Andrea make the choice, and was afraid that Andrea would not understand the difference between leaving early and leaving late, so he analyzed: "Leaving the underground early can avoid some ghouls. Threatening to walk out of the forest, the advantage is safety and sufficient time, the disadvantage is that it is difficult to guarantee that you will not encounter blizzard when you are on the road!

If we wait until the snow has almost melted before leaving, we don't know how many zombie beasts in the forest will wake up. There are also carnivorous monsters that have been hungry for a winter, and they may also appear. The advantage is that we will travel faster and it will not be so cold. The downside is that as mentioned earlier, both monsters and ghouls may threaten us. "

After listening to his words, Andrea replied almost without hesitation: "I listen to you!"

"Hey... have you forgotten what I said! Think! Don't give up thinking! This time it's up to you!" Xiang En covered his face.

"Hey~!" Andrea uttered a long tone, her brows were about to be knit together, she really didn't like to think when she had someone to rely on, it would remind her of the time when she was alone when.

After picking at the carpet with her fingers for a long time, Andrea finally made up her mind when Xiang En urged her, "Let's go early!"

Satisfied, Xiang Encai stretched out his hand to gently rub her red hair, and said with a smile, "Well, listen to you!"

"Woo..."

Under Xiang En's actions, Andrea squatted there whining like a cub, lowered her head in embarrassment, and muttered: "I'm not a child, why do you want to touch my head?" , do you want to use this place..."

"...What the hell are you talking about?"

Haha, it's almost time for some new characters to appear
